Downloading from iMatch
I had all of my music on an external hard drive which died. How do i download all of my music from iMatch on to a new hard drive?

If you subscribed to iTunes Match, and uploaded all your music to it before the hard drive died, you can open iTunes and download your music directly form the music tab. It should appear in the music section if you are signed in to your Apple ID, and will have a small cloud icon next to it.
Wherever your iTunes library is pointing is where it will save the music to.
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - Apple Support
iTunes Match: Understanding the iCloud Status icons - Apple Support
The cloud next to every song says error and will not allow me to download
The Error icon means the files are corrupt, or were not uploaded properly to iTunes match.
If they where not uploaded properly before, there's nothing you can do.

If they were working correctly before, but aren't now, you may need to contact iTunes Support.
