Cant turn on genius

i have installed itunes 10.4.0.80 on windows vista everything works except genius it says i have a bad connection or store is busy - this is lies my internet connection is fine - i have run diagnostics they say everything is fine i have reset my innternet connection and its deffinatly working. i can acsess the store and ping (in which i have no interest) so they cant be that busy - i have left it 5 hours and tried again to no avail - i am beginning to suspect that it is not my own stupidity that has caused this (it usually is but not today i dont think) .
so basiclly in summary is it me or apple?
oh i have an i phone if that is relevent and i did authorise the computer and sign into my itunes account ect
MR STEVE JOBBS I WANT ANSWERS!!!!!!!

I have the same problem - just installed iTunes last night, and I have the same version.  I can get into the store with no problem.  When I click on the "Turn On Genius" button, a little window pops up and this is exactly what it says:
     Could not complete the iTunes Store request.  The store may be busy.
     Check your Internet connection or try again later.
I'll check again tonight, but I hope someone else sees this message.

    IOS 6 WIFI FIX FOR NOW!!!!!
    The only quick fix for now is to reset your Network
    Setting/General/Reset/Reset Nettwork Settings
    Make sure you copy your password somewhere. I did so on  Notes so that i could copy and paste.
    This will work for a while but the problem keeps coming back in a day or so but at least its a quick fix.
    I have the problem on both my Iphone and Ipad 3 with IOS 6
    The only other permanent fix is to go back to IOS 5 which I had back when I tried IOS 6 bata and had the same problem which I thought Applw would have Fixed.
    Apple better get there act together or Android is going to Kick there *** SOON!

  • Error in Turning on Genius

    I have been using iTunes on my Macbook for the last 1.5 years.
    Every time I try to turn on Genius, I get the following error message:
    "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."
    Initially I thought that there could be a technical difficulty, but the error message is consistent.
    Please help me resolve this.

    right after genius finishes the first step (gathering information) and starts sending my information to apple the following error messageshows up;
    genius cant be updated... an unknown error has occured.
    (-8753)
    i tried ;
    -wait and try again (for 4 months now)
    -deleting cookies
    -deleting plist files
    -deleting genius file
    -apple "geniuses" at the genius bar in zurich didnt know what to do.
    -apple europe support has never heard of this error..
    i created a new library and there it works fine. so it cant be my network or something. the error must be somewhere in my music or my library file.
    anyone?
    btw: i have 55k songs. all covered, rated and many intelligent playlists.
    so deleting and re-adding the music (loosing library information) is not an option.
    thanks in advance!

  • I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

    I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

  • How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

    How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

    FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this.  I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether.  I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed.  For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

  • My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

    I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

    To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

  • Is there an easy way to turn off Genius in itunes 10.6.1?

    I have Genius playlists on my ipad2 that I do not want. I would like to get rid of all Genius suggestions and have viewed many suggestions; one being to go to the store tab and click turn off genius. This option is not available it only gives the option 'Update Genius'. I recently joined itunes Match and this seems to automatically think that you want to have Genius. Can someone help me in gettng rid of Genius. Thanks in advance.

    In reply to Peter2300's problem of not being able to delete Genius Playlists on the ipdad.  I had this same problem on my ipad2 and my son's ipad mini.  In both our cases we had a number of extra Genius Playlists and most of these had no songs in them.  We couldn't delete them the normal way by just holding down on them until the little X appeared.  We both solved it the same way. On my iPad when I "tap" on the Genius playlist I want to delete, it switches to the screen showing the individual songs in the Genius list (even if it's just a blank playlist), and there is a "save" button near the upper right of the screen. I pressed the Save button and then hit the button on the upper left to return to the list of Playlists.  After doing this, the last Genius Playlist displayed could then be deleted the normal way by pressing on it and waiting for the X.  I had to repeat this process for each extra Genius playlist I wanted to get rid of (which was all of them b/c on mine they were all blanks).  I just repeated the process of viewing each playlist, saving it, going back to the list of Playlists and then deleting the one that appeared last on the screen.  So far these Genious Playlists have not returned.  Hope this helps.

  • Turned off Genius, how do I restore Genius playlists from ipod to my iTunes

    Hi,
    I turned off Genius in iTunes by accident and my Genius playlists have been deleted. They are still on my iPod. I'd like to know if they will automatically sync back to iTunes when I connect my iPod or have I lost them for good?
    Many thanks

  • How can I turn off genius in iTunes 10.5.3 (3)

    How can I turn off Genius in iTunes 10.5.3  under Lion 10.7.3 (other than disconnecting from the internet). It is no longer an option in the Store menu and although I can hide that playlist on the left through parental controls, the atom symbol is still present in the lower right of the window available to generate a list from a selected song. Thank you.

    I have the option to turn it off. What version of iTunes are you using? I have the latest iTunes. Have you tried signing out of the store?
