In my case I can access it via my iPad, my wife’s iPad, the three iPhones on our account and both of my MacBooks. What you get for your trouble is all of your matched music files in the cloud that you can then download to any of the devices or computers associated with your iTunes account.
There is a new tab called Music with iTunes Match as one of the items on that list. If you have an Apple TV you can also turn it on. On your iOS device you turn this on by opening the Settings app, tap Music and the turn on iTunes Match. Once it does, you can set things up on the other machines. I initially jumped the gun and tried to upload music from both of my MacBooks at once and it gave me an error message saying I had to wait till the first one finished uploading songs. Now, go to your other computers but wait till the process finishes on the first machine.
In my case this required uploading 222 files. Finally, in step three, it uploads the files that it didn’t find a match for in step two. It reads your list of music files and then in step two it compares the music to their database of music to see if it has a compatible version of that song. ITunes will gather information about your library. After successfully charging your card, it then starts to go through the three-step process. Apple will charge your credit card $24.95 before you can get started. Now, click iTunes Match and then go ahead and subscribe to the service. Once installed you will find a new item in the left hand side of iTunes called iTunes Match. On Windows you can download it manually from /iTunes. On a Mac, do this via the Apple menu by clicking on Software Update. Then, you have to update iTunes to version 10.5.1. You have to have the latest version of Mac OS X 10.7 if you are using a Mac. Setup isn’t complicated, but I want to show you the steps and warn of a snag or two, so you can take full advantage of the service with your computers and your iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad and even Apple TV.įirst, this assumes a couple of things. Apple finally released iTunes Match, which lets iTunes check all the music you have on your computer and then lets you access it from iCloud for a yearly fee.
