How do you update ITunes match on I O S? I never have seen that option over
there.

An important thing to remember when using iTunes Match is that the CDDB
information for the music you import from your CD collection must match
exactly with that provided by iTunes Match, if it doesn't then all sorts of
fun and games can be expected.
Also you may need to use the "Update iTunes Match" function on your devices
every now and then.
There's also a cache which may need to be cleared every so often after
you've signed out from iTunes match, at this point clear the cache in the
Advanced preferences of iTunes and add your computer to iTunes Match again.

OK, I am about two drinks away from saying ITunes match is a piece of
sh**! I am running the most recent version of IOS 7, and my ITunes
running on OSX 10.9 Mavericks is totally 100% up to date as well. I’m
using an IPhone 5, not a 5S or 5C, just the original IPhone 5. Anyway, I
had somewhere in the neighborhood of about 4000 songs in my ITunes match.
I removed every one of them from my local Macintosh HD, as well as then
going back and also removing them from my Itunes Match ICloud. Mainly, I
have these tracks all on physical CD media, so I am not losing anything.
I’m trying to revamp my library for the holidays and basically only have
my Christmas music imported. Thing is, it’s going to be easier to do this
over ITunes match, being that I have multiple IOS devices plus, I have 3
mac computers: two macbooks, and one mac mini. Yes, they’re all on
Mavericks, and yes, they all are running the most recent version of
ITunes. Trust me, I’m not stupid, I did verify this very thoroughly.
Remember, I’m quite an advanced IOS and OSX user, so believe me, that was
one of the very bare first things I checked to be sure of. And yes, I ran
software update on all devices both OSX and IOS just to be sure. Trust
me, everything’s totally up to date.
Well, after deleting all my music both locally, and from the coud, I
noticed that though not on any of my mac computers, on both my IOS
devices, my IPhone 5, and my IPad 4, I keep seeing this damn Kenny G track
popping up which I don’t even remember ever importing. It’s not showing
up in my purchase history, so undoubtedly, it’s something that got ripped
from one of his CD’s that Mom and I both own. I don’t really even like
his stuff, so God knows how it got there! Anyway, I deleted it from my
IOS devices with a one finger flick down whilst in the actions rotor.
Once gone, I closed the music app from the apps switcher, and then I
reopened it and went to the artists tab. Instead of seeing nothing was
there, guess what! You guessed it partna. There came that stupid Kenny G
track down again! At this point, I’m saying something that totally would
get me banned from this list permanently if I said it or even abbrieviated
it. Trust me, it wasn’t what the hell! We’ll just say, change the last
word to something else. LOL! So, I look on my mac mini, which may I
remind you again, I’d deleted all music locally from, and also deleted
everything from ICloud originally from that system. I search locally, and
also in the cloud for Kenny G. Nothing at all pops up! Zilch! At this
time, I’m totally baffled! I look in the store menu of the menu bar under
view my account… and sure enough, it’s signed in with the correct apple
ID, the same one with the ITunes Match subscription. Just out of a hunch,
I sign out, and back in. I even went so far as to deauthorize my
computer, then reauthorize it again. I then, after doing so, went to the
store menu, and to update ITunes match. Once done, I closed the music app
on my IPhone from the app switcher, reopened it, double tapped on artists,
and boom! There’s Kenny G again! I think he wants to merry my IPhone!
LOL, or stalk it if nothing else. At anyrate, I’m going: I’ll be **
starred. So, I go back to the mac mini, and search for Kenny G. It ain’t
there! I look again on my phone, it’s there. I update match again from
the mini, then look at my phone. It’s still showing up. OK, you think
this is weird, you ain’t heard nothing! yet! Then, I go to my macbook
Pro. I pop open ITunes, delete the whole library locally, then turn match
on, only after doing so. It analyzes everything, sees nothing is locally
available to put in the cloud, then shows nothing in my library locally or
remotely. I for good measure go to the store menu then update match.
Again, nothing afterward shows up. So now, I’m thinking, good! Maybe
that killed that KG track. Nope? I go back to my phone? and, boom!
There’s not only! now that Kenny G track, but now it’s showing all 4
freaking thousand! of my tracks I previously deleted from the cloud, yet,
my macs show nothing! Not even the Kenny G. So, on my phone, I sign out
of Match, I sign out of ITunes sharing, and, even more, I sign out of the
ITunes Store. I then turn off ITunes Match, and set show all music under
settings, music, to off. I then closed music from the app switcher,
closed settings as well, and rebooted my phone. I don’t mean the
home/sleep keys, I mean I literally powered it off, waited about 30
seconds, then powered it back on. Oh by the way, no, before you ask, none
of my devices are jailbroken, and God kill me dead the day I think about
doing so! I’m sorry, but I highly! and I mean highyly! object to doing
that, but that’s for another post altogether. Anyway, after rebooting, I
signed back into the ITunes store, then I signed back into ITunes sharing,
and finally, I then turned on ITunes Match, and finally last but not
least, turned show all music back to on. I then opened up the music app.
It still shows all 4 something odd thousand tracks! Yet, my computers
show nothing! So, just to see if things really were outta whack, I
imported the Christmas album by Brad Paisley, (great! great! album by the
way if you’ve not heard it, would highly! recommend it!) and I did this by
ripping directly from my physical store bought CD. This wasn’t even a
burned copy. It was the physical original media. That imported
flawlessly on my mac mini. I then went to the store menu, and to update
ITunes Match, just in case it didn’t auto refresh. I’ve found that if I
don’t do that, it’s not pushing new imported content to the cloud, unless
it’s physically bought from the ITunes store directly. So once this was
done, I looked on my mini. The only album that showed was the Brad
Paisley disc. That’s correct. That’s what it should have done. I then
deleted it from my local library, and also killed the files from my trash.
I figured, well, it’s in the cloud, so no reason to take hard disk space.
I then went to my macbook pro, where the disc wasn’t physically insertted
nor imported to start with. I look in my albums view under music, and
sure enough. No Kenny G, no other 4 thousand tracks, however, Brad
Paisley was sitting there plain as could be, and played perfectly. I then
went to my phone and my IPad both. Both of them show all 4 thousand
tracks including Kenny G, but guess what? On neither device do I see Brad
Paisley. I finally decided to look on my other white 13 inch macbook,
which hasn’t been in the equasion until now. So, I sign into my ITunes
account, and authorize the machine, as frankly, on that white macbook, I
really don’t ever use ITunes. Anyway, I then turned on Match. Boom!
Nothing popped up except Brad Paisley. Just like it should do! Needless
to say, I’m at a loss! Back about two years ago when Match first was
launched to the public, I jumped right on board, and it worked great!
Well after about a year, things started screwing up left and right like
this, so I didn’t renew my subscription. Well, now, when I did renew it,
as I needed to do so due to certain circumstances of making things more
convenient, I see not only is it still buggy, but it’s way the heck worse!
I’m sorry, but unless we all can try to figure out maybe something I’m
missing, which I highly doubt, I’m about ready to throw this subscription
away and tell Apple where they frankly can stick that 24 bucks I spent.
Sorry to sound so mean and maybe very harsh in this message, but come on!
This is ridiculous!
Chris.
