Why isn't iTunes Match loading?
My screen in the Music app has said "Loading iTunes Match" all day now. I've restarted the process as well as rebooting the phone several times but still no progress. Any thoughts?

This has been happening to me too, after updating to iTunes 11.1 (126) and upgrading my iPhone to iOS 7.
I haven't been able to fix the problem, but its most certainly related to the iOS7 and iTunes 11.1 upgrades today...
I think Moped Will has nailed it. This is probably related to the updates and will sort itself out once everyone and their grandmother is done downloading updates. It's annoying, that much is true. I have noticed that iTunes Match is working just fine on my iOS devices but my computer is stuck with the loading cloud and nothing is... well, loading, on iTunes Match.
My (lame) advice is we should just wait a little.
This is lousy. I use an alarm program that plays music from a playlist. It isn't working and I almost missed my wake up today. Thankfully my cat acts as a backup alarm and woke me up to get fed. Apple I hope this isn't going to be another "Apple maps" scandal.
Same here. No problem on my iPhone or iPad, but can't get iTunes on my Mac to connect to iTunes Match, even though the system status says everything is running. This is annoying. They wouldn't break their neck for keeping us updated with a little note here.
Exact same problem as everyone else... the cloud icon in iTunes loads forever but it never connects to iTunes Match. Very annoying...
It's especailly bad timing since I'm up for renewal in a couple of weeks (subtle hint Apple).
So it's not that their servers are overloaded, it's a flaw in the update to iTunes. Can anyobdy else confirm?
im having the same problem...ever since i upgraded to 11.1, itunes match no longer updates...it really is annoying because it worked fine on itunes 11.05...ugh.
Neither of my computers is working with iTunes Match. One has 11.1 the other 11.0.5. I still believe it's something related to the iTunes server but anyone's guess is as good as ours.
I don' think that has anything to do with updating to iTunes 11.1 or iOS 7. I'm also having problems and I'm seeing it on devices still running iTunes 11. I also have had it working on devices with iOS 7 and those with iTunes 11.1. It seemed to have went down sometime after 7pm last night. Yesterday it worked fine on my iPhone 5 with iOS 7, my MacBook Pro with iTunes 11.1, and a Windows laptop with iTunes 11.1, and a Windows desktop still on iTunes 11. Sometime after 7 pm it stopped working on the MacBook Pro. The status icon just says, "Accessing iTunes Match." This morning I checked again and same thing. I tried my Windows desktop, still on iTunes 11 and it was in the same state. Updated to iTunes 11.1 and it was still in that state. Checked my Windows laptop that was working yesterday on iTunes 11.1 and now it too has the problem.
My iPhone 5 running iOS 7 seems unaffected. Haven't checked my iPad, but I suspect it is likely fine too.
Same problem here - upgraded my iPhone 4s yesterday. This morning, I downloaded an album for my daughter via iTunes on the Mac and told her she didn't need her iPod as my iPhone has iTunes Match and we'd listen to it that way on the way to school...except for the nutty fact that "Loading iTunes Match" now dominates my Music app and probably isn't loading at all.
For music being SUCH a big part of Apple's world - so sayeth Tim Cook at nearly every Apple Keynote Event - this is frustrating.
Same problem here. It's October 31. Any fixes on this?
I was stuck in "Loading iTunes Music Match" for an hour. Here's what I did:
I imagine all these steps aren't required. It may be enough to cycle Music Match off and on. Extra points to the user who can do it in less steps.
BRILLIANT! Worked for me! For some reason my new iPad reset itself and I could not get iTunes Match to work. Like others above, it just stubbonly had iTunes Match Loading for 10 hours +.
Just did what you said jwhitlock and we are up and running again!
Many many thanks.
Thanks.
thanks, jwhitlock that worked.
FYI, you have to do all steps not just turn on and off iTunes match
