Q: Itunes Match "waiting"
I have had iTunes Match for a few weeks, most of my library is now matched, but about 10% say they are "waiting" I have tried "updating" the library quite a few times, but without any luck. Any ideas?

Hi Colin,
If you are experiencing songs that aren't being matched with iTunes Match and you see the waiting prompt, please check out this article:

Follow the steps below.

- Turn on iCloud Music Library.
Check your iTunes library for songs that are ineligible for upload
- In iTunes, turn on the iCloud Download column to see the iCloud Music Library icons.
- If you see a cloud icon with a line through it
next to any song in your iCloud Music Library, the song is ineligible for upload.
- Move these songs to their own folder or to your desktop. If you don't need these songs, delete them.
- Turn iCloud Music Library off, then back on.
After iTunes Match finishes matching your eligible songs, you can add the ineligible songs back to your iTunes library.
Check if any explicit songs are being matched to the clean version
- In iTunes, find the explicit songs. Delete the songs from your computer and from your iCloud Music Library.
- Re-import the songs from the original source at a high quality.
- From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose File > Library > Update iCloud Music Library.
Best regards.
