iTunes Match wont play any of my old music! Help!!

Same thing with me. None of my matched files are playing on my iPhone or in iTunes....😟

Same thing happening here. On iPhone and via iTunes on MBP.

So it isn't just happening to me then! I've been having the same problem all afternoon. I can see all the tracks in iTunes Match, but none of them play.

On my Mac I'm getting the error message "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at this time". On my iPhone it looks like it's about to play, but I just get a popping sound from the speakers and no music plays.

Apple Music and downloaded files are fine. Unfortunately I've just deleted all my iPhone local files so I could use iCloud Music Library. Bad timing!

I've also noticed that all my playlists are empty, and all of the star ratings have disappeared from the tracks that were in the playlists. I'm now going to have to rate 4,000 songs again...

There seem to be a few threads appearing about this, so maybe it's not just us.

I experience the same problem on MAC and iPhone

I have the same issue here. I'm glad I kept my library on my main computer. Oh course, that doesn't help when I listen to most of my music on my phone.

Not just matched music either... I have songs I've purchased that won't play now either....

Same here - all my music is there, I can see it. But nothing will play on my ipad, iphone or windows itunes.

What the **** has Apple done...???

Count me in with this group. I get the "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at this time." whenever I click on one of the iCloud symbols for my matched songs. I thought this was just me. Looks like an Apple issue.

Wish I could help but now I have the same issues. This problem lies with Apple and not the user. Something has occurred within their system and the servers are not working properly. I have not seen this happen since I subscribed back in Nov, 2011. I'm limited to only the music stored on my device.

I have the same problem. Can't play any of my iTunes Match content. Hope they resolve it quickly! 😕😠

Same here on 2 different MacBook Air (13 & 11), iMac, and iPhones 4 & 5s. I'm tired of iMatch, tired of Apple getting more and more complex, more and more opaque. It reminds me of my Windows days ... not a good memory, but we're there now. A few weeks ago, iTunes ruined my library on my iPhone (mixing albums and artists ... it was almost unmanageable), but it was ok on my MB Air. And now, I just can't access to my music ... wow that's improvement!

As we pay for iTunes Match, this is totally unacceptable.

Fortunately enough, I downloaded 75% of my iTunes library a few months ago. Now I'm going to manage my library manually with another app. iTunes, so long!

Add me to the the “iTunes Match/iCloud only plays Purchased music (not Matched)” crowd… I’m assuming it’s related to the earlier iTunes Outage…

Same problem here: 2 ipads, 1 ipod touch (just bought), 1 iphone 5S and imac: the same problem.

Same issue here. 56gb of music, not a single song downloading from Match or even streaming... Brand new MBP bought today - thought it was just me or a sh1tty purchase...! Hope it's working soon...

I am having the same problem. My iTunes music actually plays fine on my computer. It just will not play from my iPad. It played fine yesterday just won't play today. I even streamed my music through my Bose bluetooth speaker yesterday. The music all shows up fine on my iPad but it won't play. It acts like it's going to but nothing happens. Strange thing is I can play Apple music and radio music. Just not any of my purchased music. I called Apple about this. The only answer they have at moment is there have been problems with iTunes, iCloud, Apple music on and off throughout day. We left my call with giving it some more time to see if what happens. They are calling me back tomorrow to follow up. Oddly I seemed to know more about how all this music stuff is supposed to work than the tech I was talking to. Anyway the problem may sovle itself on its own in time. We'll see. Right now I'm frustrated.
