iTunes Match error 4001

I just did the shift+Turn Off iTunes Match again for the 50th time and then turned it back on and wouldn't you know it, NOW it seems to be working..

So, my recommendation is to place a ticket with Apple and ask for your $$ to be refunded.. This seems like something within the ID on Apple's site.. OPEN A TICKET!!

Working here too! Oddly enough, just after I posted this tweet

"Despite burning mountains of coal for their iCloud, Apple hasn't managed yet to fix iTunes Match. #4001"

Doesn't matter tho, it will still be good to know the causes.

So folks, try now.

Weird it's suddenly started working!

I have also passed the dreaded "Step 1" and the error message, just hours to wait whilst it "Matches my music with the store"

Could it be that Apple did some work behind the scenes ;-)

Germany again, now, after 36 hours it work !!!

of course they did something behind the scenes... 🙂

Why does this not work??? I'm also getting error 4001...Can someone please explain what's going on...😕

Seems to be working now.

Would have been so hard for Apple to make a statement to the effect "Yes we know there is a problem that is being experienced by alot of people, we are working on it, and it will be working shortly?"

Yes, working now!

I know how to fix this error I had the same problem and it is because itunes is storing the cache and then every time you are re trying to use imatch it is using the old cache thus giving you the same error message. Here is how i fixed it. follow this exactly. let me know if this works foryou

I know how to fix this. I had the same problem and I researched this extensively and this is how it was fixed. You are getting this error message because itunes is storing the cache and then every time you are re trying to use imatch it is using the old cache and thus causing the same error message. Follow the directions on this post exactly. It will work. Let me know.

Hi guys! In my case the problem (error 4002) it was because of I've sete up a windows machine with itunes match too. The problem was solved after uninstalling itunes on windows machine. It works pretty well on ipod, ipad and macbook pro, all of them have the latest release of ios and itunes, but I'm lookink forward to the next update of itunes for windows can correct this issue. Thanks!

Actually, hats not strictly true.

While Apple's TOS say this, its only for their own purposes.... It's the customers right to get their money back if it's not working as expected.

While this is just to back Apple up, and yes, their not required to do so, usually they will,, since they must keep the customer happy...

Thus, use this to your advantage.... and keep complaining to them if it doesn't...

I got a free iPhone 5s out of then because of 7 constant grueling weeks of complains every single day,,, even right up to management. and emailed Tim.. Personally, I reckon Apple just wanted to give it to me to i'd shut up and go away, but Apple's terrible services as of late brings this out.

They have only bought this on themselves... Unless their services start improving that is. I got the same error in iTunes tonight..

Seriously though,,, if people want their money back, all you gotta do it lie.... Tell them them you are unable to download or something, and they'll be more than happy to refund..... ( not a sure fire way, but anything is better than just taking their agreements seriously.)
