Can't use Genius Mixes in iTunes in Windows 7

Ever since iTunes 9 was released, I have always been trying to find Genius Mixes. I've turned on Genius, updated it, reinstalled iTunes, repaired it, even showed the Genius sidebar. still nothing. I don't know what to do now. Please help!

Well, perhaps I misunderstood what you meant about Win 7 compatibility. It works on at least some Win 7 machines. So the question is why isn't it working on yours?
I wasn't being nosy for no good reason! Since I'm not sitting there, your reply tells me genius is at least turned on since a genius itdb exists. If the file was there but months old, then some other problem might be happening with genius & its mixes. But it seems up-to-date, and you have a good number of tracks.
My library with 32000 tracks has a genius ITDB file that's 39080KB. It's not quite a 1:1 ratio - but is your genius ITDB a little larger than 1600KB since you have 1600 tracks?
My extras ITDB is 2808KB. I don't know exactly what that files does. I opened it in WordPad and it seems to be some sort of SQLite database.
You might look at your library on the XP machine and see if they match as far as size goes.

  • I Can't Get Genius Mixes in iTunes!

    Hello. For some reason Genius Mixes don't appear in iTunes for me. Under the "Genius" section in the sidebar, only "Genius" appears. No Genius Mixes. I tried updating Genius, but it did nothing. Please help. I'm running iTunes 9.2.1.

  • Can we have genius mixes on our IOS5 device using iTunes match?

    Can we have genius mixes on our IOS5 device using iTunes match?

    Actually I was wrong ... I mistaked being able to say "play rock music" for genius.
    You can't say "play similar songs" it will say genius is not available.
    I don't understand why they would have disabled genius all together for itunes match?

  • Can't use genius with iTunes Match?

    I signed up for iTunes Match today and on my iPhone I can no longer find the option to make a genius playlist. The icon is no longer in the center of the song bar. Help please.

    in the HELP menu in iTunes I found this, note the last sentence:
    Play a Genius playlist or Genius Mix
    iTunes can create playlists—called “Genius playlists”—from songs in your library that go great together.
    In addition to creating playlists based on particular songs, iTunes can turn your library into a set of commercial-free radio stations playing your favorite music from your library. This is called a “Genius Mix.”
    To create Genius playlists and Genius Mixes, iTunes uses anonymous information about your library and other iTunes libraries.
    To create Genius playlists and use Genius Mixes, you must turn on Genius, be connected to the Internet, and have an Apple ID. Genius is a free service.
    Note:  If you subscribe to iTunes Match, Genius is turned off.

  • No Genius mixes in itunes for ipod classic

    I own an ipod classic and although Genius is ON in itunes, i cannot see any genius mixes in itunes and of course not on my ipod either. I used to see it but after one upgrade of itunes it just disappeard.
    I keep updating Genius but still no genius mixes. Apple people please help

    Hello simoneta10,
    iTunes 11 looks a little different than the previous versions of iTunes, and I'm wondering if you do not see the Genius Mixes because the Sidebar is hidden.  You can follow these steps to bring back the sidebar in iTunes:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    You can find the full article here:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Additionally, I recommend reviewing the following resource to sync the Genuis Mixes to your iPod:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9

    I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
    when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
    I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
    I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
    Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
    Thank you,
    Mrs Trisha Foster

    Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
    I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
    For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
    PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
    Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
    Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
    split
    public String[] split(String regex)
    Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.  This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
    Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

  • How you can load the Genius mix list in a Ipod Classic 80 GB

    Hi, G´day!
    Somebody can help me about how you can load the Genius Mix List in a 80 GB Ipod Classic?
    I have totally updated my Ipod Software and the Itunes but the Genius Mix List didn´t appear on my device, can you help me if is possible to load this kind of list?
    Best regards!
    Pedro López

    Hmmm, I bought a 60-GB Ipod Classic at first then it was stolen. The thing is my 2 year warranty didn't kick-in, nether did my car insurance which doesn't cover theft.
    So I had to take the loss and come up with cash for another Ipod but this time it was the 80-GB Classic. Now this one has crashed. So I may try ZUNE this time, are you listening @ APPLE ? I've only had this new one since July 7th- 07.
    So far I've shelled out roughly $930.00 for two APPLE Ipods with the 2 year warranty in approve. 18 months.
    Another thing is that I didn't transfer the warranty to the new Ipod. They don't tell you themselves about the transfer but you have to take the initiative yourself. They never offered to give me the paperwork. There you have it the pitfall of not transferring your warranty. Without that warranty you are left holding the bag. So get that warranty puuuleeeezze.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

  • Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

    Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

    On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
    Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

  • Can I use IOBIT to remove ITUNES?

         I have followed every suggestion, work around etc. to uninstall Itunes on my computer. Nothing works. Since all of my music is backed up, in mutiple places, I am ready to just erase Itunes from my computer and start again. Again, Windows Uninstall or repair do not work. So my question is "Can I use Iobit to uninstall Itunes without some type of serious damage"?

    I suggest if you have MacKeeper install, that your first move be to uninstall it.

  • HT202213 Can I use the apps that itunes is downloading to my PC on my PC?

    Can I use the apps that itunes downlading to my PC on my PC.  If not can I delete them off of my PC without messing it up on my ipad?

    Yes, you keep them for your iPad. If your hard drive space is at such a premium, then you should get a larger drive or add an external drive to which you can copy off some of your other files. Everything you download, add to, or purchase through iTunes for your iPad will take up more and more space.
