After updating to iOS 6 iTunes Match does not load my music

i don't know what i did, but now it works.

😮

I did a painful complete restore of my iPad and all 17,000+ songs are now ready to play via iTunes Match. I put off the restore as long as possible, but in hindsight I should have done it right away.

I finally had success getting my iTunes Match back by doing the following:

1) Turn off iTunes Match under Settings --> iTunes and App Stores

2) Force close Music

3) Open Music and delete any songs that still show up. You can also do this through iTunes syncing once you disable iTunes Match on the iOS device

4) Restart the device

5) Turn on iTunes Match

Not sure why it worked but it seems to have restored it to my iPhone 4S and The New iPad.

This didn't work on mine since all of my songs are last as 0:00 and cannot be deleted.

Hello from Italy.

Same issue with iPhone 4. I tried everythnig even sync with iTunes. It appears as the list if what I had in Music remained in the App. Under settings / usage Music is empty, if I enable Match it begins to download "something" but at the end (when the App do not crash) I'm again with them list with empty titles and leght of 0:00. A restore of settings didn't also help...

I want my music back!!!

Have you tried doing it through iTunes? Once iTunes Match is off, manually make sure all the music is off (I would suggest doing seletive music sync and making sure all boxes are unchecked below for albums, songs, etc.) and hit sync. It should delete everything leaving you with no list in the Music app. You can confirm everything is gone once you open the Music app again and it says it can't find any songs.

From iTunes on the Mac I tried to delete everything. But sometimes I got "Error syncing with iPhone" or it shows no music data is on the device.

I'm having the same issue too. Funny thing is that it's bigger than that just 0:00/no songs issue:

• I turned off iTunes Match in the iPhone settings
• I force quit the music app
• I tried to reopen the music app and the app crashed (repeat 3 times)
• I restarted the phone
• After restart, the iTunes Match setting was automatically toggled to "on"
• Repeat all of the above and see it replicated

I guess it's time for a restore...

So is this working for everyone??

YES!!! Antgeez! It worked!

I'm a little worried about downloading random software... anyone (with any postings on the forum) tried this?

No offense, Antgeez, I just don't see that you've been a regular contributor!

Uh I don't know now... I just downloaded it and im about to delete the itunes controll folder... I'm scared now! :-/

Copy the folder to your desktop first just in case. Worked for my ipad 2, now for my iphone 4.......

I did it and it worked! I did not back up the file. The only thing I noticed is that when I plugged my phone back in my work computer treated as a new iphone and iTunes launched. I'll see what happens when i get home and plug it into my Mac that I usually sync to.
