Can I make Genius ignore certain songs in my l

Is there a way to make Genius ignore certain songs when creating playlists? For example, if I create a playlist based on "Adult Alternative" music, Genius will frequently select some of my off-beat Christmas music.

I'm not sure that playlists take up much space on an iPod, so what about a duplicate of the playlist in question without the songs you don't want?

  • Can i make my ipod play songs in a particular order?  If so, how?

    I want to create a playlist that plays song in a specific order, but iTunes seems to only sort the songs by the headings in the playlist, artist, title, song, etc. Can I make it play the songs in the order i want to hear them?

    You can drag the songs in a playlist into any order you want. Open iTunes and go to your playlist, click at the top of the number column (far left) to highlight it, click on any song and drag it to the position you want. Once the playlist is how you want it, update the iPod.

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

    Have you quit and re-launched iTunes? Does the menu item become active then? Or are you trying to convert a protected file, which isn't possible. You can tell if the file is protected by doing a Get Info. If Kind says "protected AAC audio file" the file can not be converted in-place. It must first be burned to Audio CD which you can then import into iTunes as an MP3.

  • Can anyone make genius playlist from 2011 songs?

    I have tried to create genius playlists from very popular songs this year including "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO & "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. I doubt that Apple Genius Servers do not have information to create genius playlists to these songs which these and other songs have sold over 4 million songs on iTunes alone.
    Please if there is someone can shed light on this issue and a way to correct that would be great. Being that New Year's eve is coming up, it would be great to make genius playlists from current released songs especially #1s from 2011.
    Thank you!

    Never mind.  I figured out that you have to hit "enter" after you type in what you are looking for and then the results will show up in the iTunes window.

  • Firefox pops up an error message on certain pages, all other browsers work fine, how can I make firefox ignore the "error" [e2219] css init error: ReferenceError: g is not defined

    Basically I want to replace the Ajax Control Toolkit Slider in favor of the Component One Studio for iPhone Slider for better mobile/desktop consistency (the ajax slider doesn't work well with iPhone). I created a simple page that works on every browser and platform (iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows) except Firefox, which fails on every platform. I have already tried disabling all plugins (safe mode) and clearing cache, I have also tried this with different versions of Firefox on different platforms. I posted this error on the Component One forum but since this only occurs with Firefox I believe this is a Firefox issue.
    I searched for this error on the forums and Google but didn’t get any results:
    ''[e2219] css init error: ReferenceError: g is not defined''
    The console has this message:
    ''[12:05:26.954] uncaught exception: [Exception... "prompt aborted by user" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: resource:///components/nsPrompter.js :: openTabPrompt :: line 462" data: no]''
    You can see the error by visiting http://www.componentone.com/i/
    Visit the same URL with IE, Chrome or Safari and there is no error. If I click [OK] the page loads normally enough for me. Is there some JavaScript or CSS line I can put in the page to make Firefox ignore the error? If so that would be great because even if there is a fix put into Firefox itself there will be those millions of users out there that will not upgrade.

  • Can't edit or delete certain songs in my library

    I feel powerless. I think certain songs in my library are "locked" or something, They play okay but I can't edit any of the info or delete them. I can delete the audio file from my music folder, but I still can't delete the song.

    I wish I could mark your reply offensive. I mean really? It's experiencing a moment of gayness?

  • Can I make a playlist where songs are removed once played?

    Hi-
    I would like to be able to create a "to be played once" queue so I can load up a bunch of songs, hear them played, but not have them keep cropping up the next time I access the list.
    I was hoping I could have a playlist--either using the OTG playlist or a created one--where I can add songs that I'd like to hear, then have the songs automatically removed from the list once they've been played. I think iPods used to do this (I had a G1 iPod I lost long ago), but I can't figure out how to do it on my new G5 iPod.
    Of course I'd be open to other ways of solving the problem if a playlist isn't right...
    Thanks,
    Alex

    As pointed out, one option I have found very useful with iTunes and my iPod is to create a smart playlist of songs that haven't been played yet.
    Simply create a new playlist and tell it to only play songs that haven't been played yet (play count = 0). Shuffle still works with this play list so when you use it you still get a random assortment of tunes, but also only the stuff you haven't heard yet (well, hasn't yet been played since adding it to iTunes that is). Very useful for when you add new albums and songs to your iTunes and iPod as they automatically get added to this playlist.
    Further more, once they get played, they no longer have a play count of zero and so no longer belong to this playlist, therefore, no repeats are possible. With the iPod/iTunes set to automatic update, when you sync you iPod to iTunes, anything you played on your iPod gets the count updated in iTunes. Check "live updating" on that playlist so both iTunes and the iPod will update the playlist as you use it.
    Another smart playlist is the "long time since I last played it" smart playlist. Rather than a rule of play count, instead pick the checkbox "Limit To" and set it up as follows:
    Limit to 200 "Items" selected by "Least Recently Played"
    Of course "200" can be any number you like. Make sure live updating is checked. If you have a large library, say 1000+ songs, it will be a long time until you hear anything over again since anything played becomes the "Most Recently Played" and moves to the back of the line. But pick a decent number of songs like 200 to allow some variety when shuffling.
    Also note, that by default, any new songs added to iTunes are considered "least recently played" so unless you add to the smart playlist to NOT include new songs (play count = 0) this playlist will include anything new added to the iPod.

    Only if the the specifc app allows such a password. Few do.

  • How can I make iTunes exclude some songs when shuffling?

    I have several thousand songs on my Ipod.  I want to add several hundred holiday songs and put them in their own playlist.  How can I prevent them from playing when I turn on Shuffle and play everything else on the player except the holiday music?

    Right-click the track(s), Get Info, go to the Options tab, and check "Skip When Suffling."

  • How do you (can you) teach Genius to which songs it should choose?

    Genius for the new iTunes 8.0 chooses playlists based on the selected song.
    I want to train this, sort of like Pandora radio, where you yea, or nay a song and it learns and figures out what you want to hear.

    Firefox doesn't have the same type of interface for the Profile Manager that Netscape did. You might want to look at SeaMonkey ''(which uses the same Mozilla Gecko code as Firefox has)''.

  • How can I only sync only certain songs from itunes to ipod nano

    Hi
    I have the latest version of iTunes and latest iPod Nano, with the older version of iTunes all I had to do was untick the songs and playlists I didn't want on my iPod and they wouldn't sync. 
    They are still unticked, but they as sync with my new one and my iTunes library is huge.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have checked my selections and everything that I don't want on my iPod is unchecked, but yet still syncing.  I have even tried to manually select songs and it's still syncing everything.

  • How can i make a song a ringtone, how can i make a song a ringtone?

    Can someone please help me how can I make my converted m4 songs into a ringtone.
    Also, how can i review and validate my account without entering any credit card

    There are many apps in the App Store, which you can download (many are free) that will let you take a song on your phone and turn it into a ringtone.  Virtually all of them will require that once you've made the clip, you do something like email it to yourself, then connect your phone to your computer, save it iTunes, then sync it to your ringtones library on your phone.  Go to the App Store and type in Ringtone.  Lot's of options will appear.
