thanks! that worked perfectly. I am also having trouble with step 3 of iTunes Match. I have 306 items to upload, but there does not seem to be any progress over many hours. On Friday, the system had appeared to upload some of these, but when I unplugged my iPhone and moved the laptop, iMatch quit working. Now, it will sit on this screen forever, until (I think) the system shuts down. If I stop and restart, it starts from Step 1, and although it does not take as long to go thru 1 and 2 as it did originally, it still takes 30 mins or so, and then I am once again stuck on Step 3. any advice?
