iTunes Match issues on iOS 7

It's not directly related to iOS 7 or iTunes 11.1.

I did not update yesterday, I had iOS 7 for over a week running fine.

This only happened yesterday.

It's definitely a backend issue, something triggered iTunes Match to update yesterday and the servers aren't responding properly.

iOS 7 GM and iTunes Match has worked fine on many a device prior to the release yesterday. My iPad and iPhone are 2 of them, along with my MacBook Pro.

And my iPod Touch with iOS 6 is also having an issue. It didn't have iTunes Match turned on because I too have had problems in the past. I just tried to turn it on, and it's borked.

In my update to iOS 7 and turning match on for my iPhone 5, the only problem I ran into was cover art failing to download. It turned out the cover are failing to load was for songs my iPhone thought were already on the device, because I restored from iCloud after the update, but never synced to my computer to put the songs back. So the resotred Music settings listed 2500 songs on the device, even though they weren't on there. They showed in the library and everything, but wouldn't play. When I turned on Match, they would play (from the cloud of course) but no cover art, because it was supposed to be there locally, except it wasn't.

Turned off Match, deleted the data from the Music app, turned match back on, and everything worked perfectly. I've been testing playcount syncing and Last Played syncing from my iPhone 5 and iPad, as that is something that has notoriously not worked reliably or correctly in the past (and is the reason why I wouldn't use Match in the past) and everything worked flawlessly until sometime after 7pm last night.

That's just my case and my experience, but my opinion is it is an Apple issue server side, not something to do with the updates themselves.

Same Problem, I can't lissing to my Music on iPhone 5 iPhone 4 iTunes 11.1 only on my AppleTV its work...

Question: Does everyone having issues have "Limit Ad Tracking" turned on?

I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours. Plugged in my phone to Xcode to watch the log for anything special. Kept seeing issuse for ad tracking when I went to load up iTunes Match.

I turned off "Limit Ad Tracking" and now iTunes Match is working. It's still loading all of the artwork, but the music is playable now. It did take awhile to load up, but the differance was a visible network activity indicator, "spinner" next to the wifi indicator.

I am having the same issue on two of my Macs as well, so I turned off "Limit Ad Tracking" on them as well, and I'm waiting for iTunes Match to show up.

In London UK and have not had any access to Match as of 9am this morning... Works on my ipad but not my windows PC. ???

Whats going on?

Been hitting the lightning cloud all morning and now afternoon on my second computer (my work PC) and nothing still

I'm having the same problem on iphone 4s and ipad retina display...I keep getting the "loading itunes match" screen. Very frustrating since I need access to my music... as a cheerleading coach I depend on my phone for everything!

Interesting. I have iTunes Match off at the moment, and I went to Privacy to check my Limit Ad Tracking setting. All I'm getting is the spinning rotor where the toggle switch should be.

Rob Repp, I had to turn on airplane mode to toggle it.

I had been able to toggle it after I updated, I recall turning it off earlier. Let me get offline and try it.

OKay, went offline, changed it to off (do not limit). Got a message dialog saying the preference would be updated when the phone connects again. Turned airplane mode off, checked it again, back to spinning rotor.

Here's my story:

Everything worked fine on my phone until I installed IOS 7.

After IOS 7 was intstalled I noticed right away my Music APP quit right after opening. I have turned iTunes Match on and off in settings, restarted, and yet still nothing has changed.

Also, my phone won't sync to my Mac and the Spotlight search does not work either.

IOS 7 is a train wreck.

Spotlight does work. They changed how you do it. Drag down from the middle of your home screen. IOS7 works great for me. Itunes Match is the only issue i have.

iTunes Match is also the only issue I am having. I talked with apple chat, but since not at my home computer with my iTunes have to call back later. When I shut it off, random songs from my library appear, not all on the phone, but some in the cloud? There are no playsits.

I am having the same issues like this on iphone but not the iPad
