IPhone :: 4S Needs Ages To Download A Song From ITunes Match, I Have A Fast Wireless Connection
Mar 20, 2012
My iPhone 4S needs ages to download a song from iTunes Match... i have a fast wirelesslan connection!may the problem is that my pc still upload songs to iCloud?
I have tried syncing my phone to my computer before but it deleted any song and playlist that wasn't in the iTunes on my computer. I sometimes will buy a song on my phone and I don't want to have to look up every song I have bought on my phone to go through and download it on my computer. Also I would like to not have to recreate playlist on my computer.
For two songs now i have bought on itunes it only plays for 30 seconds, which is annoying becuase im buying the song not just a preview and its a waste of my money. Its starting to get really annoying now and feel i should get refunfed for the songs that its doing it to. Why would i just want 30 seconds of a song...Can you help me in anyway or figure out why its doing that. I know its not a ringtone its the real song.
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 4.1, iphone 4 and macbook pro 13'
I have an iPhone 4 32GB on AT&T. I have about 20,000 songs in my iTunes Match library. iTunes Match was extremely slow for iOS 5 and 5.0.1 and it has significantly improved in iOS 5.1. However, it's still laggy a lot of the time. Much better than before (where it would freeze for 10-20 seconds at a time), but there's still a delay of 1-4 seconds when I press on a navigation button sometimes. I also still get my share of Music app crashes.
Just wondering if there are other suggestions, and mostly wondering if Apple continues to work on efficiency enhancements (including for the 4 not just the 4S).
I have iTunes Match on my on my computer but not on my iPhone(it cant be enabled). When I sync music, I do it by playlists. All the music syncs but not the actual playlist? I have tried taking the playlists out of iCloud by adding a video clip but to no avail.
I wasn't sure if I should post this under iPhone or iTunes so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. Basically, there are discrepancies between my iTunes library and what's on my iPhone. Yes, everything is checked and I know how to sync. I also understand all the nuances of artist names, genres, etc. It appears that all of the music is there, but it doesn't all show up when sorting my artist, song or album. Here are 2 examples:
I have 2 Amy Winehouse records in my iTunes library; Back to Black and Lioness. Both records are also on my iPhone. However, when I pull the list of records by ARTIST only Lioness shows up. To find Back to Black, I have to sort by ALBUM and then I can find it. I have 4 Norah Jones records in my library; Come Away with Me, The Fall, Little Broken Hearts and Not Too Late. All records are also on my iPhone. However, when I sort by ARTIST only 3 of the records appear (the Fall is missing). If I sort by ALBUM, it is there.
These are 2 examples, but there are several more. This is very annoying because I can't always remember the name of records but I do remember the artist, of course. I have tried re-syncing. I have looked very carefully at the artist name to make sure they all appear EXACTLY the same...they do. No spaces, nothing.
The past few months I've gotten warnings from AT&T that I was near or exceeding my data plan limits when I never did before. After a lot of testing it seems that on my iPhone, iTunes Match still downloads data—megabytes worth—even if I have the "download over 3g" setting turned off. I've had to turn off iTunes Match on my iPhone totally and rely on "old-fashioned" syncing unless I want to upgrade to the bigger data plans, which I'm not going to do. Sigh! Anyone else notice this? The behavior persists over several erase-and-restores of the phone.
I have an iPhone 4S wi iOS 5.1 installed and I can't view the option to enqble iTunes Match under the Music menu. I have subscribed to the service and it works fine on my iPad.
I have an itunes match account which is currently uploading. It says that I can access the music by switching the on button in settings. I have two accounts with apple and have switched over to one and I think the phone is set for the account that does not have itunes match. Any ideas on how to rectify this so I can access my icloud library via itunes match.
I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this...I was having issues initially with my iPhone not recognizing that I had iTunes match enabled, so I re-enabled it on my Mac. When I went to enable it under Settings->Music, it allowed me to switch on "Enable iTunes Match", but then the option immidiately disappeared (See screenshot). iTunes Match is currently not running on my phone and I cannot get the option to enable/disable it to populate whatsoever. I've tried soft reseting multiple times (Holding down the home+power button for 10 seconds) with no avail.
iTunes has really messed things up on my iPhone, it useful but it keep adding songs automatically onto my phone and I'm not able to delete them off my phone
Ok I know how to do Internet Sharing to create a mini network from my MBP osx 10.6 that my iPhone 4 can use, but only when my MBP is connected to the internet via ethernet.
How can I do this when my MBP is connected wirelessly?
Why don't I connect from iPhone to the same wireless network that my MBP is connecting to, I hear you ask? Because I'm in a hostel and i've paid 10 bucks for unlimited 24hr wireless connection through a 'Global Gossip' internet card. This card seems to only allow one device to connect, and I've already logged on using my MBP.
As soon as I updated my software to the most recent version (5.1) things went haywire! My ipod feature on my iphone deleted 1/2 my songs and then double plays others. I keep getting the message "unable to download at (song) at this time". When I went to the apple store they recommended I delete the i-cloud feature but this didn't work.
Once I got my iphone it was set to someone else ITunes account in my family but I made my own iTunes account and I now want to delete the song from the other persons account but I don't know how?
Certain songs wont play in iTunes on my IPhone bit they play on itunes on pc. Have read all about the get info and find file and moving locations. The song info and location is perfect in iTunes on pc and will play. have synced everything and have made sure song is on both pc and phone but will not play on phone and i get the exclaimation mark while looking at the song on phone while in itunes and on itunes on phone the song will not even sho up..
Out of 50+ songs in my library, only one has this issue. Its format is no different from the others; I have tried deleting and re-installing the song. I have also tried unchecking the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" option in my iPhone settings, but the box was unchecked to begin with. I have also tried to create a compatible version ("File > Create new version > iPod or iPhone version"). It won't even give me the option of doing so. Is it just the song? Should I give up on it?Â
Ever since I have updated to iOS5, I have been having problem with updating my song info (artist, album. song title however seems to work). I manage my songs manually and they are shown to be updated in itunes. However this is not the case when I browse my songs in the music app in my iphone.
I have tried various ways such as switching off 'group by album artist' in setting, updating ID3 tags, but these did not work. The only way to get the songs showing up normally is if I add my songs to the itunes library, change the info there and drag them back to my iphone in the Device section. Is there any way I can update my song infos in the device section and have them correctly showing in my iphone like the old days?
when i delete songs from my iphone,and then sync it with itune the deleted songs come back onto my phone. is there any way in which i can stop the songs from comming back onto my iphone. even if i delete.
I got a song that I synced from my cds on itunes & it went onto my iphone after then I deleted it & now I am trying to sync it back & it wont get it anymore how do I get it back I tried everything.
