iCloud sync not working

my Mac has stopped uploading my own music to iCloud. All tracks are stuck on “Waiting”.

Music is typically not stored in iCloud because of DRM (copyright) issues.


Music is stored in iCloud if you subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match. It sounds like iTunes Match may be what you’re looking for.

Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support


thanks for the answer but I have a regular subscription with ITunes Match since its been released as a service.

Excellent. Then see “Use iTunes Match” in the article I linked above for remedies to your situation.
