How To Fix iTunes Match in iOS 7

I'm not sure what you're trying try to "fix" with this post, since you don't state what the problem was you were having, but FYI iTunes Match does not match music on an iOS device. The scan, match and upload process only happens in an iTunes library.

yeah. It works for me on my iPad/iPhone with Macbook.

This worked! Thought I had lost all of my music. Thank you SO much!

Sorry, but the "fix" you supplied was only temporary for me. After getting a clean setup with my iPhone 5s in total sync with iTunes on my Mac Mini, I added 4 newly purchased songs to an existing playlist that was in sync.

Once I did that, all the old troubles re-emerged:

1) Duplicate Songs - 1 downloaded, 1 in iCloud Status

2) Corrupted song titles/artist/cover art - i.e. the song listed has one title, the actual song file is for something else

3) iCloud status songs refuse to download

4) Playlists mysteriously add/drop songs, some not even from the playlist on the Mac Mini

5) Downloaded songs fluctuating between showing downloaded and then appearing as iCloud

6) Playlist jitters or bounces up and down on screen

In another discussion, it was mentioned that Apple engineers are aware of the problem with iTunes Match, so hopefully a fix is in the works soon.

Aloha! Thanks for your instructions, they WORKED PERFECTLY!!! Yippy 🙂

I followed the instructions. I had great hope for this method. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I'm glad to hear from Stachowicz that Apple is aware of this problem, though.

I finally got mine working after 2 - 3 days. I simply did a Restore All. Of course, I backed up my phone in iTunes and then hit Restore iPhone in iTunes. My music in iTunes Match are all in my phone now. I'm glad that with all of my stuff in iCloud it is much easier to just restore the iPhone. I have 32 GB 5s, in case anyone's curious. Thank you for your suggestion though, DirkWestera.

THANK YOU!!

While I am also unsure what this "fix" is for, it resolved a problem I have had for months with iTunes and the Music app in iOS7. I have about 4,500 songs in my iTunes library and before buying my iPhone 5S I had a Samsung Android phone. Google music worked PERFECTLY and would always add anything from iTunes to it's library without a second thought.

However, after I setup my iPhone and got used to iOS7 I realized the Music app was only showing about 1/3 of my music. I turned off iTunes Match, I turned it on, I reset my phone, I tried everything. My iPod Mini and iPhone would only show a portion of my iTunes library even when a cloud icon was next to a song.

I ended up downloading and using a Google Music App for iPhone which (here we go) could see all of my music. However, it drove me crazy that I had to use this 3rd party app when Apple and iOS7 should have worked and showed me every song I owned.

Well, after weeks of searching online for a solution on a whim I used the one above just to see if it had any effect. Sure enough, IT WORKED. How it worked, I have no idea. What was wrong, I have no idea. But within a few minutes ALL of my iTunes library is now visable on my iPad and iPhone using the proper iOS7 app and I was able to delete the 3rd party one.

Amen!

After days of stuggling trying to get iTunes Match to work. This solved my problem. Thanks!

Thanks for this. Incredibly elaborate, but it works. Too bad apple can't get this together. Much appreciated.

Saved me from days of tinkering!

Thank you, worked like a charm on my iPhone 5s.

P.S.: Not shure who Michael Allbrittonis, as he lives "Directly above the center of the Earth!". True, iTunes Match does take place between your PC's or Mac's iTunes library and Apple iTunes servers but the settings are called the same on an iPhone and are the only way to access your music on an iPhone with iTunes Match enabled.

Your solution re-establishes the communication between Apple's iTunes servers and your iPhone.

Worked for me as well. Thanks.

I must ditto what Jack says: this was a temporary fix, and I am now back to watching the blue line crawl then hang. Is there a library size one shouldn't exceed with iTM? Is there anything else that's been tried that works? I'm about to renew but not if there's no fix. Great idea, poor execution. Finally, does AppleCare cover this?

Do this every day, good for a few hours than have to do it all over again, itunes match realy gets me down

Please see my recent post here about the iPhone User Guide's words on Match (not sure if this applies to the situation in this thread, but worth a look IMO):
