I was trying to transfer music onto my iPhone 5s running iOS 8.4 and it would not let be because "Some of the files were not copied to the iPhone “1337phone” because iTunes Match is enabled on this iPhone."
I have never had iTunes Match, nor is it enabled on either my phone or computer. Last week I had no problem loading music, now it won't let me!
How come?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4
Have the same problem.
Need help here. Apple Music is in the brink of messing up my library of 40K+ of songs.
Over the weekend, on my iPhone 6+, i updated to Apple Music. Chose the Merge option since replace sounds too absolute. Apple Music integrated wonderfully with my existing songs and playlists.
When i got home Sunday, I tried to add songs and revise my playlists on my iMac. Now i do not have internet connection except on my mobile thus my iTunes on my iMac is not up to date. iTunes didn't allow me to add songs to my device with the prompt, "cannot add because this device it using iTunes Match". I did not subscribe to match but i understand that it came with Apple Music. With that i decided i didn't need Apple Music nor iCloud Music Library. I turned them off on my device. My whole previous library on my device got deleted.
Now I thought it must be an upgrade issue. I decided to back up some songs and playlists on an external hard disk which i plan to load on my phone using my Macbook Pro. I went to work using my Macbook Pro. At work i have pretty decent internet connection. On my Macbook Pro, i urged my iTunes to the latest available. Still I can't load my playlists on my iPhone using the latest version of iTunes. Upon loading my playlists, no songs were included therein. How do fix this problem?
I have the same problem but it is part of a larger problem.
iOS 8.4 + Apple Music has broken my iPhone 5c's ability to do anything with my music. It has broken it completely.
ℹ I had this exact problem, but finally managed to get music on my iPhone by signing out of my iTunes account on both the Mac and on my iPhone.
It then let me copy music across without the iTunes Match error message.
Then when I signed into iTunes again on my phone, it seems to have fixed it and will continue to let me drag music across.
Hope that helps you all!
🙂
i have tried this, still having the same problem
OK I think I have got it figured out now.
1. Sign out of Apple Music on iPhone
2. Sign out of itunes on Computer
3. Drag album from itunes to Apple Music
4. Sign back in
(You might have to quit Apple Music on iphone or restart iphone first)
Voila!
What an incredible pain in the *** this is.
I forgot to say final step is to turn ICloud music library back on
Thank you!
I cannot for the life of me figure out why on god's green earth Apple would opt to make it LESS convenient for people logged in to their service to sync all of their music. I am baffled beyond belief and almost had a small heart attack trying to get this figured out before I saw this answer. Thank you again.
Can't transfer music because iTunes match is enabled, I don't have iTunes Match
