Hi, Mary! Well, this Apple Music lark is quite a tortuous and mysterious process! You have to enable iCloud Music Library to start the process going. I have never had iTunes Match so I had to enable Apple Music too and then Apple servers had to start from scratch scanning my iTunes library and uploading copies. If you have had iTunes Match, Apple will already have done this process to your library, so no need to do more, perhaps. I noticed little completion sounds and accidentally found an Activity symbol whirling away at the top right of the itunes window. When I clicked on that symbol, a pop up explained which track it was currently uploading. You can also go to the itunes menu on your mac, File, Library and select Update iCloud library if it is not dimmed just to see if any updating is needed. I have 10762 items (70GB) in iTunes and, although my fairly new Mac mini has been churning away uploading music for over 24 hours now on a fast broadband connection, it still has masses of tracks saying Waiting to upload. There seems to be no way of finding out what percentage of the library is still waiting but the Activity Pop up does show that it keeps moving on. So another few days should see it through! If you have not yet enabled iCloud Music Library, it could be worth waiting a while to let Apple sort out bugs and let Apple's servers recover from the onslaught of millions of our itunes libraries all wanting to be uploaded at once!
