Is iTunes Match down for others? Not responding...

Based on my experience in Hong Kong, Apple is helpless and they will not give you any explanation. All you can do is just wait, maybe 1 to 3 days. Good luck!

It was very slow last night on my Win7 box in the US, and I was getting 4002 errors. Had to switch to another system and it worked after about 45 minutes (one song updated / matched). Trying again this morning and it's very slow again -- 10 minutes so far "Sending Information to Apple".

Time to call 'em! 🙂

Having same problem. iTunes match is stuck on step 1. Left it up all night and woke up to a timeout error. Hopefully it get fixed very soon.

*ATTENTION* I have found a fix for the problem!

Step One click top right to view your account

Step 2 : De-authorize your computer from icloud

Step 3 : re-activate iTunes Match

Step 4 top right sign back in to your itunes account

Step 5: Get itunes match syncing your music again

Step 6 : Click okay if it asks would it like to stop syncing another computer and sync this one (Must be a glitch)

ALL 'SHOULD' WORK Perfectly

Hope this works

Hi,

I Am in the process of getting my first update in 6/7 hours.

I stopped the match process, kept iTunes open, then reset safari. Back in iTunes, I dad to re-sign into the store.

Selected tracks for match and added to cloud.

17 tracks uploaded resonable quickly.

Worked for me as well (was just on the phone with an Apple rep). I did this last night and it didn't work, but today it did.

I also turn off Genius and turn on, as it's needed for iTM. This should be standard procedure whenever things get "stuck" and I went from sitting at "Sending to Apple" to matching within 60 seconds, at least this morning.

I'm glad that works for other people aswell. I had to try many options before consedering to do this. I hope Apple improves ITM in IOS Moutain Lion.

I was very concerned about allowing iTM to stop Syncing with one library, choosing instead to sync with the new library.

I have 15k songs in Match (via my personal Mac) and don't want to override them with my work PC.

is everyone SURE that 'Syncing this computer's library' won't override my current Match account?

Thanks!

iTunes Match is down in NZ as well, everything looks fine but it's just skipping songs. I'm wondering if it's anything to do with the rollout to new countries happening today. I've tried the fix in this thread but it didn't work for me. Have to rely on Spotify until Apple fixes this.

But I will stil be very careful if I were you. Are you trying to sync your pc's library using the same apple ID the mac has? if so you may have a problem..

Home sharing isn't working either for me which is totally weird...

After you sync your library in your work PC, the songs in your work PC will be added to iCloud and will not override the songs previously synced with your personal MAC. I have already synced libraries in 3 computers and it works fine. However, you should have noted from the others' comments that the iTunes Match would be down from time to time. Please be patient.

Please be patient.

If this was a free service, then perhaps we would all have a little more patience.

When you have paid money for the privilege of being locked out from your entire music collection, patience wears thin pretty quickly. Made worse by the fact that Apple seem unwiling to even acknowledge that users are experiencing problems.

i had this working - home mac, work pc, all digital kombayah.

now itunes on the work pc, even after remove and re-install, requests sign out of itunes store.

i sign back in, turn on match and itunes either crashes, hangs on the first step of match, or gives this error message:

iTunes Match is matching a library from another computer.

Only one library can be matched at a time. If you continue, the other iTunes Match session will be stopped, and this computer's library will be matched instead.

That's horrifying. I don't need to upload any music from this computer, I just want access to everything already in Match.

and why should i be patient? my music collection isn't accessible today the way it was yesterday!?!

Quote: Please be patient.

Nonsense - this service has had altogether too many outages.

Partial refunds should definitely be forthcoming. A lot of people are going to bail on renewing if this garbage keeps up.
