Duplicate Album Covers in Genius Mixes

So I've noticed that in my Genius Mixes on my iPod, some of the album covers show up twice for the same Mix. They show up correctly in iTunes, but for whatever reason, they don't on my iPod.

Edit: Um. Yeah. I didn't mean to mark this as a question, but I didn't see that until after I clicked "post"...

I can't see the list or cover view while in Genius mixes.
You don't get list view or cover view with the mixes. You can always submit this as a request to Apple at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Also, some of the album covers are showing up and some not.
Are you talking about in iTunes? When you select that individual song in the main "music" section and pull up "Get info", do you see the artwork in the artwork tab?
Or is it ok in iTunes and is the problem just on your mobile device? If so, which one.
I can't see what the mix is as the list won't show up and that makes the Genius mix not worth using if I can't even see what Itunes is selecting for me.
You can pull it up in DJ if you want, and that gives you a glimpse of what's in there, but only a max of a 100 songs. But, frankly, it sounds like the lack of visibility into genius mixes are sufficiently annoying for you that you might want to consider not using it. Use plain old genius playlists (select song, hit , save it as a playlist): That behaves more like it sounds like you want.

Album covers missing or mixed up on iPhone/iPad after 4.3.5 update. Only purchased songs affected. What can I do to solve this issue?

Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

Can't get album view in genius mixes to work right

Hi - I'm not sure what is going on but I can't see the list or cover view while in Genius mixes. Also, some of the album covers are showing up and some not. But - I can't see what the mix is as the list won't show up and that makes the Genius mix not worth using if I can't even see what Itunes is selecting for me.
I tried looking in the view menu but no help.

1st gen showing genius mix covers for regular albums in cover flow

This problem recently happened. On my cover flow for albums, the covers for genius mixes are displayed for some albums, even though they have the correct album art in itunes. By genius mix covers i mean like the four squares with a different album in them. I don't understand. I already turned off genius thinking it had something to do with it but it's still happening. It started with only two albums but now it's spreading like a virus.

I have the same problem. The wrong art only shows up for me when I'm on the iPod in Cover Flow. On iTunes Cover Flow the artwork is right. I tried deleting the album art for one such album, but the Genius Mix album still shows up on the iPod Cover Flow. I disabled Genius, and it did not fix it. I'm now about to restore my iPod and re-sync it to see if that solves it.

Click to play a song and album covers start to multiply!

Two new issues with my iTunes. When I click to play a song for some reason the album cover will start to multiply and I will have 3 or 4 duplicate album covers. This ISN'T an organizational issue. I am incredibly meticulate when it comes to organizing my iTunes, so incorrect album info is not the problem. Also recently I tried to play a song and it wouldn't load, even though it is in my library. So I removed the entire album from my library, and then added the whole album folder again, but the only song that will load is the one that wouldn't origionaly play. Now it won't add the album, even if I try to do it song by song. When I click to add, it just doesn't do a thing. The file directory and path is correct, and the files do exist on my computer because I can play them in windows media player.
Any help here would be very apprecieated.
Cheers,
Kurt

My best guess would be to reset the iPod by holding the home and power button for about 15 seconds or until Apple logo appears. No data will be lost in this reset.
Other than that, I do not know what the cause could be.

Music+Fim's Covers replaced by Genius-Mix Icon

After having installed the OS4 on my iPod Touch, a great number of music and film's covers has been replaced by the Genius -Mix typical icon (4 different album covers).
In iTunes everything's still fine.
Is there something wrong with the sync?

I've had this problem for months.   Very occasionally would I see a change in my iPod touch's album art, but mostly they been stuck with a lot of duplicate artwork, and many repeated tracks when I listen to them.   My mixes in iTunes on my Mac do change frequently, and never have I seen any duplicate artwork.
I too have tried disabling Genius, re-syncing my iPod, then re-enabling Genius, which generated brand new mixes and displayed new art in iTunes.   When I re-synced my iPod, its original mixes and art re-appeared, with the same duplicates in the same positions, as if the mixes were just hidden and recovered rather than synced at all.
I haven't tried rebooting or restoring my iPod from a backup.   This isn't the worst thing in the world, worth me taking those extra steps, but annoying to notice nevertheless.   This should just work.

Itune display correct album art but i touch shows wrong album in genius mix

Hi there im using itunes 9.1.0.79 and i have an ipod touch 2g running version 3.1.3
Now the problem is the genius mixes on itunes is showing correct album art i.e. each of the four mixes are composed of four album art
ON ITUNES DANCE POP MIX CONSISTS OF SPICE GIRLS,LADY GAGA, KC AND SUNSHINE BAND AND AQUA.
THE SAME DANCE POP MIX DISPLAYS MICHAEL JACKSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, TATU AND SPICE GIRLS ON MY IPOD WHERE AS THE SONGS UNDER THE LIST ARE SAME ON THE COMPUTER AND MY IPOD
THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE MIXES
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE ON THE IPOD EXCEPT THIS
can someone please help me find a solution and is anyone else also facing this problem......

You don't have a problem, and there is not solution. The album art you see for a genius mix is a representative sample of the albums contained in that mix. It is not all inclusive, there are other albums in that mix. When you mouse over a genius mix in iTunes, you'll see below the mix title that that mix is based on Artist A, Artist B, Artist C and others. When you play a mix, you'll see the album art changes from 4 covers to the album cover for the song now playing.
If you sync a mix to your iPhone/iPod Touch, the four covers will not be the same as those in iTunes, they will be 4 covers representing the albums included in that mix; however the description of the mix under the 4 covers will be the same as it is in iTunes. When you play a mix on your device, the art displayed is the art from the now playing song.
Mixes are not playlists, they are mixes of songs that sound good together. If you play a dance pop mix, it should be like tuning a radio to a dance pop station.
Bottom line, it is what it is. Listen and enjoy. Don't obsess about the minor details.

Duplicate Genius Mixes keep reappearing after I remove them

iTunes keeps generating duplicate Genius Mixes. I right click on them and remove them but when I go back to Genius Mixes they're back again.
Also the duplicate ones contain songs that don't fit under the title. For instance, iTunes generates 3 Singer/Songwriter mixes, one which is the original one and contains Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Elton John and others, while the other two mixes contain Herman's Hermits, New World, The Beach Boys, The Turtles and The Monkees, all of which don't fit into the Singer/Songwriter genre.
I don't think it should be a problem for iTunes to generate different mixes, considering that I have over 5,000 items in my library and a wide variety of genres.
How do I stop iTunes from generating the same mixes?

I have this exact same problem. I created a rule for Mail to move e-mails, with some given keywords in them, into the junk folder. Then I removed the rule completely, deleted it. But all incoming e-mail are still moved to the folder. Although I have NO rules left.

Genius mixes showing up as album art

I started getting genius mixes as my album art for random songs. Started with one, then all the songs in my playlist showed up with the genius mix art.
I cleared all the art work for the songs in that playlist and nothing changes. I cleared all of those songs, synced, and then added them again and nothing changes. Its very odd and frustrating.

Actually that is known to be a common bug in iTunes 9. I also have the same problem and what I did is turn off the Genius feature and then restore your iPod. It worked for me for about a week but then appeared again. I read in a forum that Apple engineers are working to deliver an update to fix this. I think we have to wait but give the restore idea a try, it may work.

So even if I download the $4.95 software upgrade it won't do that?
Anyone know of any Apps that will do what I need?

IPod Album Art replaced by Genius Mix Art

Picture of the glitch:
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7195/ipoderror.jpg
This happens to albums which fit within the given Genius Mix, albums which do not fit within the given Genius Mix, and oddly enough, to TV shows. It is quite annoying, as I go to great lengths to make sure my album art is all good quality and well cropped. It's all fine on iTunes, but on my iPod it just randomly chooses albums not to work for.

Hi,
It's the same with me. It appears that only manually added artwork displays. Songs with downloaded artwork show a blank in iTunes when I play them from the iPod, although on the iPod itself the artwork shows.
This has to do with the fact that downloaded artwork is not embedded in the mp3-files, in contrary to manually added artwork.
What you could try is to embed downloaded artwork yourself (wait for a rainy sunday afternoon though). Use this program to extract downloaded artwork from your iTunes libray: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iaae/

Duplicate Genius Mixes in iTunes 10.4

I have just re-synced my music from iTunes to my iPhone and have noticed that iTunes has now created a number of the same type of Genius Mixes.
I dont really need to have 3 mix playlists of Jazz... I tried to delete the ones that I didnt work, however when I refreshed genius, they re-appeared.
Is there any way of stopping this from happening?? as I would rather only have one Genius mix for each type of genre

I just experienced an issue that I believe to be the same, but it occurred after I tried to move my iTunes library to a new computer. I did so by creating a new library, then adding the previous library's "iTunes Media" folder into the new library. Everything copied over just fine, but every time I try to enable Genius, it lets me sign in, agree to the license, and then it crashes iTunes with the same message you described above.
I didn't sync any devices, I do have Home Sharing enabled (so the PC is authorized), and I don't quite know what's up. Genius worked on the previous computer perfectly.
The new PC's details: Windows 7 (SP1) 64-bit, 2GB RAM, ~1.0 Mbps download connection, 1 Ghz Dual-core AMD processor.

Genius Mix show Album Cover art but cannot get to play....

Hello Everyone,
I've turned on Genius and now have 12 Genius Mixes showing on the page. If I mouse over the image the play arrow shows and when I double click to play, iTunes shows are favourite little wheel for a minute or so and then the wheel disappears without any music playing. I must be doing something wrong but cannot see my error.
How do I get these new mixes to play? Many thanks, in advance.
Warren

Hey Warren,
I had this problem too. Just go to your library, make sure you check all the songs that you have (or at least those that you want genius to use). It has that problem you described when you don't check (or tick) all the songs.
Just select all the songs and check all of them. Should be up and working right away.
Hope it works!

How Can I Control (or Understand) Genius Mix Lists?

I am running iTunes 11. I decided to turn on Genius Mix (Menu--> Store--> Turn On Genius). This was fine. There was some information exchanged, some calculations done, etc. and an hour or so later I had a category under "Genius" of "Genius Mixes". There were twelves such mixes: Folk Rock Mix, Vocal Mix, Jaxx Mix, Classical Mix, Contemporary Folk Mix, Clssic Rock Mix, Electric Blues Mix, East Coast Rap Mix, Classic R&B Mix, Country Mix, Sountracks Mix and another Classic Rock Mix.
I did absolutely nothing to specify these categories and I have no idea how many songs are in each mix.I don't know if these are "canned" categories or if they are generated based on my content. I assume there are categories others have that i don't have.
Only by attempting to add one or more of these Genius Mixes to my iPhone have I been able to learn how big they are: Most are Gigabytes in size. Perhaps my entire music library has been tranched into these categories. I don't know. I have been unable to find any tools to show me a listing of the songs in the Genius Mixes other than using the "Next Up" drop down menu that is shown when I am playing a song from one of the mixes. Trying to employ that tool to learn anything about the lists would be just short of stupid.
I can make my own Genius lists by selecting a song and then limiting the size to 25, 50...etc. songs. I like these. But these huge "Genius Mixes" just seem silly. If anyone knows how to get them to display as lists so that we can see what's in them rather than "album cover quilts" that show four clustered album covers I would be most grateful (and embarrassed, as this would seem to be an obvious viewing option for me to maybe have overlooked). Either way, any bits o' wisdom or information most welcome.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I tried the example and I wrote such a dll but when I try to use the same dll in a VS C++ project and a labview project, te dll uses different memory location. When I sent a value to dll and when I try to see it in my vs C++ application, I could not see the values. How can I communicate with my VS C++ and labview project. The dll must use the same memory location for my aim.
Best ragards,
Umit
As you have already seen, LabVIEW and VC++ running in their own process. The memory space is not shared between process.
What you need is Inter-Process Communication. Call Dll.vi alone is not going to slove your problem.
If you are a good C/C++ programmer, search MSDN site for Inter-Process Communication. There are a few choices.
You have to impliment one of those method in a dll, so you can call the dll in LabVIEW.
