IPhone :: ITunes Match Still Downloading On 3G Even If Told Not To
Jun 28, 2012
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 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.
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.
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
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 downloaded some of my old CD's to itunes and I've noticed that the songs are not downloading to my iphone, even when I go to my phone and music and check the box. I've sync'd like 5 times and nothing.
I've also noticed that some of my CD's that I've downloaded are listed under my other music but its not available to checkmark the box under my music.
I have no idea what's going on. Is is a PC issue? Is it an itunes issue?
Even when you disable the setting to use cellular data for music downloads, when you enable iTunes match and are downloading files, if you walk away from your hotspot, iTunes keeps downloading you music.I've tried anything, but only completly disabling cellular data (network setting) prevents me from using up loads of data traffic while having iTunes Match downloads.
I plugged my iPhone into my laptop to do a simple update of my playlist, but a message flagged up saying I had to retore and download the new iOS 5.1 update before carrying on (I know i've left the update late, just havent had the time!) My phone was restarted and all my contacts revived but whenever I try and download all my new and old music, it just wont let me? I've tried everything, using a different lead, using a different USB port, turned my phone on and off but nothing is happening. The iTunes screen says the music has been downloaded but my phone has nothing on. Also, only 385 of my 1000 photos have been restored, how do I get the rest on? I really really dont want to lose them!
So i noticed this morning when trying to download the latest podcast i wanted that it was just broken on my iPhone 4S. I tried everything, quitting the app, restarting the device, updating to the latest firmware that was waiting to be done. None of these things made any difference. I tried with a friends iPhone and he could see podcasts fine, ruling out the servers being down or whatever. I got home and synced my Phone to my mac and got the latest podcasts via iTunes on my Mac. Still this hasn't helped anything either I shot this shaky video to show what happens [URL]I'm a bit at a loss beyond having to fully nuke my phone which is more than a bit inconvenient.
When I try to download podcasts (Fresh Air, Freakonomics Radio) my iTunes freezes on my iPhone. I just started happening and maybe has something to do with 5.1.1? Anyone else?
I would like to download the Voice Memos my brother recorded on his iphone before he died - for his young family in the future. The problem is, I do not have his itunes password or login. Is there any way I would be able to download onto my itunes?
I have bought 50 gb of storage and iTunes is still saying there is not enough storage to download tv shows. But I have 46 gb still available. How can I fix this?
My Iphone 4 has been synchronizing for 4 hours and seems to be stuck on step 6 of 6 (Downloading Safari safe browsing data). It was taking a very long time before, and I had to stop the syncronization before it was finished. Now all of my music is greyed out. Is this normal?
