Reset iTunes Match
When I first purchased iTunes Match I didn't really understand what it was. I ended up putting it on my iMac's library that is filled with random songs (9,500) that are mislabeled, no artwork, wrong album, etc.
After putting up with that awful library I found all the good music I had on that iMac and put it on a clean iTunes library on a Mac Mini (1,200 songs). So my Mac mini now has a prime iTunes library, but I want it to replace my existing iCloud library.
I've gone through the steps of first deleting the songs from the iMac from iCloud and from the computer. I then deauthorized that computer, and turned off iTunes Match. When I went to the Mac mini and signed into iTunes Match, it scanned the library and did the all the processing steps. Once completed it said I had 9,500 songs availed in the cloud. I thought they had been deleted from the cloud by the other computer.
I've given it time. I've done the 999 song limit at a time and updated iTunes Match after each one (on the Mac mini). No matter how many times I have done it or how long I wait it still says I have 9,500 songs in iCloud after I update my iTunes Match in the settings. I've even tried doing one album and waiting for a day and then updating iTunes Match and it was still there.
I'm hoping I can get some help because I don't want to go back to apple care with 3 hour phone calls!
(I also asked if they could just "nuke" my iTunes Match account so I could start over and they said that's not possible.)
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
