Itunes Match and New Purchases Problem after updating to iTunes 11

What I have found is if the iTM service is in what I call the "starting up state" (meaning the cloud icon next to your Music library has the moved slanted lines) then any new music you add to the iTunes library will nto show up in the library until the service is fully active. So make sure the cloud icon is clear before adding new music.

The iTM was completely ok when I bought the songs. What I've noticed is that when I buy a song it is planced in the Download folder in iTunes and not it iTunes Media>Music.

Hm. What "download" folder do you mean?

Ok. What happens if you buy the song on the iMac? The purchased tracks should then show up in the iTunes library of the MBP as downloadable or streamable. Is that the case?

Ah, ok. That's normal when iTunes is downloading media. However once the download is complete it should move the completed download to the appropriate media folder. Depending on which version of iTunes you're using there should be a "Downloads" entry in the left side-bar, or you can click the button in the upper right to show the download window. Are there any stalled or active downloads? If not you can pull down Store > Check for Available Downloads and make sure there's nothing stuck in the queue.

I'm sorry... I don't understand what "clicking on iTM" means.

This is also happening to me with previously-purchased music as well. I'm having to click each track to get semi-reliable downloads now. The download folder is full of .tmp files, but only reliably downloading about half of an album at a time, so it's taking me multiple passes to get an album downloaded. Maybe I will just *turn off* iTM while I'm downloading and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks, all,

Mark

iTunes Match

I'm sorry... I still don't know what that means. What, exactly, do you have to click "to have the songs" in your library?

Yes, this is much more clear.

In iTunes, click Music in the left hand side-bar. Along the top of the browser display, where it says Songs, Albums, Artists, etc. do you see Match? If so click on it and see what is displays. If you see a "done" button click it. If you see anything else report back what it is.
