Create Genius list in iTunes 11?

How do I create a Genius list in the new iTunes? I can't find any 'buttons' in the lower right corner of the iTunes screen.

Genius playlist only seems to work for tunes purchased from the iTunes Store. What about all my other music that I imported from my CD collections? iTunes 11 ignores them all together. This worked in iTunes 10. Any chance Apple will restore this to the way it was?

Seeing a genius list in iTunes 11

I have been playing around with iTunes 11, and I did figure that I can invoke genius by right-clicking on a song and select "start genius". But is there a way look at the whole genius list in playlist form like in iTunes 10? It appears that the closest you can come to the feature is clicking on "up next" and see the next 20 songs, not up to 100 like you could before
What I loved about this feature was that you could select the songs from the genius playlist and copy them into a "regular" playlist for future use. It looks like we no longer have that option.

I found out how it is done at this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4553379?tstart=0
Basically, you select a song and click on the little arrow that appears to the right of the tittle. In the drop-down menu that appears, you select "Create Genius Playlist". The Genius Playlist(s) will then appear in the in the Playlist Sidebar

ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
Video podcasts are mixed with audio
podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
its a disaster
my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

Hi macjake2,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
Genius for iPod and iPhone
You can create Genius playlists in iTunes with preset limits of 25, 50, 75, or 100 songs. When you save Genius playlists and sync them to your iPod or iPhone, they contain the same songs that were present in the playlist on your computer.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Any suggestions?

Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

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 can i turn the genius on in itunes

even if i select the correct email as apple id , a message saying please complete form appears...
really wierd...it should be simple after i select turn on genius but it just does not work...uff...
i'd like playlist to be created automatically and really need a way for genius to work...
pls pls help me!!!

Figured this out. I had to change my Nano to manually manage music and then when you plug in your nano and after it is mounted go to the music tab and select synch music. The GENIUS lists will appear in the playlists options and you can check which lists you want to be snyched from your laptop/desktop.
To me this is just apple not being clear about the difference between letting iTunes "FILL" your device with your music vs actually creating a Genius list on your laptop/desktop and then moving that playlist over to your NANO.
So in essence you can let itunes fill the device and then play things on random for batch of your most often to listened music or you can actually manually select to synch certain genius lists as "PLAYLISTS"
Hope this makes sense.

Saving Genius playlist in iTunes 11?

Does anyone know how to save a Genius playlist in the new iTunes 11? I can make a genius playlist, but I cannot figure out how to save it.
Many thanks in advance.

Not sure how Apple intends users to get this done, but I found a way. Once your genius list of song has played a bunch of the songs, you can look at your play lists and select the "smart" play list called "Recently Played". Sort that list by "last played", then select them and drag them to a new play list that you've created. They'll be in reverse order, but at least they'll be in a playlist you can now control.
Seems silly to me. There really ought to be an easy way to save a genius created play list that you are listening to.... It's pretty much not-genius that there's not an easy way to do this. But until someone can explain how to do this with some built-in feature, this method will work for me for now.

Genius WITHOUT iPod-iTunes sync??

I recently purchased a new iPod Classic 160G and couldn't be happier. After hours of work, I've finished transferring 60G worth of music onto it. My question now is about the Genius feature.
I do not sync my iPod with iTunes. In other words, my laptop's harddrive does not have copies of all my iPod songs. In the agreement of the Genius program, however, it says that in order to use Genius "You must sync with your iTunes library after you have opted-in on iTunes to enable the Genius feature on a device".
In other words, in order to use Genius my iPod songs would have to mirror the songs on my iTunes, right? In other words, if I attempted to use Genius with my iPod, then it would effectively erase the 60G of music on my iPod, because I don't have those songs sync'd up with my laptop's iTunes? Right?
Or is this a softer use of the term "sync"? I know that sometimes my iPod will say that it's "syncing" when all that's really happening is that iTunes is reading it in order to display the songs. Or else it may say "syncing" when I'm manually transferring to my iPod a song that I've temporarily placed in iTunes (which I erase from my harddrive afterwards).
I'd appreciate any clarification anyone could give me. I REALLY don't want to lose all my music. My guess is that I CAN'T use Genius on my iPod unless I have a copy of every iPod song on my harddrive as well...

Hi flapjaxx
I had the exact same problem as you seeing as I keep all my music on an external hardrive and not on my pc. However, I've found a way around it.
Basically, just put all your music back into your itunes library and activate genius, then connect your ipod and untick "manually manage music". Sync your ipod with your itunes once and then your ipod should be able to use genius. Once this is done you can just tick "manually manage music" again and delete all the music back off of your computer. I would assume that if you added anymore music to your ipod though, you would have to repeat the process to include those new tracks in the genius listing.
This process worked for me so it should be fine for you too, to be safe I created a genius playlist on itunes and synced it with my ipod first before I ticked "manually manage music" again.
If you dont have your music collection anywhere but on your ipod then all you need to do is plug your ipod into your computer, access the hard drive from "my computer" go to folder and search options and select "show hidden files and folders" you should then get a folder called "ipod control" showing up. In here there will be another folder called "music" which will have all the tracks and movies off your ipod but they will be listed in random folders named f01, f02 e.t.c and the files themselves will be listed like "NVXC" and similar variations. All you need to do is drag the whole "music" folder into your itunes library and it will sort out all the videos and music for you. This is for pc though, im not sure how you would do this on a mac...
Sorry about the essay, hope this helps.
