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

worked for me too (iphone 4S and iPad 2) - spent wasted hours trying other options. many thanks

That's worked for me too. iExplorer is a nice program indeed.

Thanks a lot and shame on Apple for this issue...

@eightcell : your solution worked fine for me too. Thanks a lot!

I experienced this problem as well when upgrading my iPad 2 and iPhone 4. The iPad was upgraded first and when it finished, iTunes Match was broken. During this time the iPhone was being upgraded. When my iPhone finished, Match is working on it.

I've tried the method mentioned above where you turn off iTunes Match on all the devices in a certain order and then turn it back on without any success.

I would like to avoid randomly deleting files from the iPad's filesystem. We should get this issue escalated so it get's some attention from Apple

Worked for me after 24 hours of frustratio!

Thanks so much!!

Just adding my complaint to this thread. iTunes Match not working on my iPhone 4 after updating to iOS6. None of the techniques mentioned so far worked for me. I did not attempt the 3rd party app solution with iExplorer - Apple users shouldn't have to go that route.

And, very frustrating given that this is not a free service. Hello, Apple....? Are you monitoring these forums??

Antgeez's solution using iExplorer finally worked! Brilliant!! Thanks!

I tried many of the suggested solution over the last 36 hours on my 4S - soft reset, hard reset, force close, turning on/off settings, waiting, resync via PC, turning off match on my iPad, turning on match on my PC, clearing out pending downloads, and iExplorer. iExplorer was unable to delete any files for some reason. So last night, I did a Restore via PC link to iTunes and then restored the backup from iCloud made just prior to doing an update.

The Restore mostly worked. There was still no music showing on my phone, but iMatch works now. I was able to download music via iMatch. I have yet to confirm whether the songs that were on there are taking up space I am not able to access.

36 hours and a full restore required to do an upgrade is an absoluately terrible experience! I wish I had not upgraded my OS - Apple Maps are terrible, Passport is a joke, and iMatch is a nightmare. This release should not have gone out for another 6 months and even then, they should have let you have Google Maps as a stand alone application for another year while they got their act together.

I'm also not a big fan of them removing the ability to download/delete single songs in a service I pay for primarily to do that. Streaming is not satifactory as a sole solution... cell networks bog down, there are dead zones, and there's no cell service on the subway.

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!

Antgeez you are the MAN or WOMAN!

Same problem but i don't run explorer on my macbook. is there another fix? Oops I retract. Just saw what you folks meant by clicking on the link. Thanks

I wanted to thank you. Your work around seems to work flawlessly. Thanks again

Hi,

well I just tried iexplorer and it looks like it does not work with Mountain Lion. So any other ideas please?

Echoing what many have said I tried many other things first but your suggestion to use iExplorer worked. My tunes appear in match almost immediately. Thanks.

Thank you! eightcell You solved my problem!

I'm so frustrated that this iexplorer didn't work for me. I'm now attempting to do a full restore on my iPhone in the vain hope this will do it. This is totally and utter rubbish.

I haven't tried the iPad trick so might do that as well
