iOS 8.4 removed my iTunes Match music

The setting to turn iTunes match on and off is now within the music app. Open it, choose my music and kind of in the middle there is the option to sort by artist or album. Tap on it and a menu opens where you can choose to make your music offline available. Turn it off (= not just your offline music) and now you can see all of your content in the iTunes cloud you uploaded via iTunes match.

Been searching for this for 2 hours. This was the winner, all my Match music now visible! You think they hid this away to drive people off match and onto the 6 times for expensive Apple Music subscription?

Anyway, huge thanks for this

Been looking for this for hours. Why was this hidden? This is a terrible place for it. It use to be in settings. Why did they move it?

I think it's quite clever. I have "show all" turned off most of the time in order to find the music stored on my device faster. Just when I need to load new tracks I turn it on. Before 8.4 I had to go to Settings, now I can do it from within the music app.

Now that I found it I guess it's okay. Some explanation would have helped out. What threw me the most is it was turned off by default and turning on iTunes cloud in the settings didn't bring my music back.

I'm the same way when it comes to change but to answer your question, it should never of been located there in the

first place. We just became accustomed to it there in Settings but now that I think about it, I had to go back to settings

each time I wanted to play portions of albums where some songs were in the cloud. Then I would select "On Device"

versus "Show all Music". That way I would not stream or cache songs I didn't want taking up memory. I've already adapted

and see it as an improvement.

I haven't got the iTunes Match option. When I select the 'Artist' drop-down, I see 'Albums', 'Songs', etc. and then at the bottom is the option to 'Show iTunes Purchases'. Am I looking in the wrong place?

You need to go to Settings -> Music and turn on the iCloud music library.

Thanks for that, but it wasn't there either. The only option I had was to turn Genius on or off. I contacted technical support, though, and they fixed it for me.

The answer to this topic is complete, but it's easy to skip over the part that's important (step 2). It's hard to imagine that this obfuscation wasn't done on purpose.

1. Open the Music app.
2. Tap on the Artist header with the downward arrow, in the middle of the screen underneath the list of Recently Added. A menu will appear.
3. Toggle the Show iTunes Purchases option to turn it off. You'll be presented with an empty screen with a button labeled Show All Music.
4. Tap Show All Music.

Your iTunes Match music should now automatically appear. One odd thing is, if you go back to this menu the Show iTunes Purchases option will be toggled back on.

The new Music app has been one of the most disappointing updates to iOS in a long time. If there ever was something indicating a post-Jobs era, this app would be it. It has been one of the most frustrating experiences since the first iPhone. Examples:

• Why can I shuffle some artists, but not all?
• Why can't I just tap on an artist and have it start playing all of their music.
• Why can't Up Next be a special option and not the default?
• Why am I forced to decide if I want to add it to Up Next (after the current song, which isn't as intuitive as adding it to the end of the list) or if I want to clear Up Next.
