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.

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.

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

Additionally, I recommend reviewing the following resource to sync the Genuis Mixes to your iPod:

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.

Can you run Update Genius?
This looks similar to my problem (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/22875572#22875572), I also have/had TuneUp installed though I found it didn't really affect anything since iTunes also crashes with the program cleanly removed.

Get rid of these Genius-Mixes in iTunes-Match

Hi Folks,
I'd really like to get rid of These Genius-Mixes in my iTunes-Match library. I've already tried to erase them on my PC via iTunes and synchronisation, but I didn't suceed.
And unlike the other lists, you can't touch them until the X-Button appears.
Could anybody please help me to get rid of these lists?
Best thanks for your help and Kind regards!
Rainer

This is what I did and it fixed my three that didn't have working iMatch Genius:
( I don't know what if any fixed this )
I turned off iMatch on only one iPhone, my 5s, I left the 4s and iPad alone.
I turned it back on.
Still no iMatch Genious
I clicked on update iMatch on my 15" Macbook Pro.
Waited
I then made sure iMatch was "on" on all devices.
I opened up iTunes and then Clicked on Genious just to open without clicking on any mix.
I left the phone on, (practised the piano) and came back to it 30 mins later.
I then had iMatch's Genious working.
I did the same, basically to the 4s and the iPad:
opened up iTunes and then Genious, with clicking on any mix and waited (more piano practice)
Now I have iMatch's Genious Mix working on all of the devices that didn't work before.
Did anything I did have anything to do with solving the issue? I have no idea.
But my iTunes on my 15" Macbook, my new one, locks up right away but no locking up on anything else except my ofther Macbook Pro, the 17"er.

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!

Genius mix in itunes doesn't exist for me

I dont see the "genius mix" option as stated in the help documentation in iTunes"
Play a Genius Mix
Choose Music from the Library pop-up menu, and click Playlists.
Click Genius Mixes.
To start playing a Genius Mix, move the pointer over the mix you want to play and click .
I do not have any genius mix options to choose. How can i get this back? I used to have it in pervious versions of iTunes.
Yes , genius is turned on, Is updated, and I can make my own genius mixes from individual songs, but the iTunes Genius mixes are not showing up. The ones it makes for you based on your music library.

I have been having same problem. Last week I uninstalled itunes and quicktime and then installed standalone QT and then itunes. iTunes worked for one day. Then tonight I tried to open itunes and back to the same problem, itunes will not open. QuickTime will open and run alone but no itunes. I have worked on this for several days now. So any new ideas would be great.

No genius mixes in iTunes Match

Hi,
I upgraded my ATV2 with the latest 5.1 version. Now, when I select Music->Genius Mixes it says that there a no genius mixes in my iTunes library. However, in iTunes they show up fine.
Does anyone know how to get Genius Mixes enabled on the ATV with iTunes Match?
Thanks!

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.

ITunes Match, problems to sincronize the Genius Mixes with my iPad and iPhone

It's pretty simple, meanwhile in iTunes of my Macbook Air (with iTunes Match activated) I can have the genius mixes that I wish, but in the music of my iPad and iPhone (with iTunes Match activated too), only I've got 4 mixes; I do not why and I've really tried everything, I mean, activate, deactivate, synchronize manually, etc. In spite of all I didn't get the genius mixes in my devices. ¿What is it the weirder? It's in the beginning all worked wonderful, I mean, when I activated for first time iTunes Match everything was OK, there wasn't any problem if I sincronized, but suddenly, one day stoped to make its work, ¿Can anybody help me? I really I'd appreciate it. I've more than two thousand songs and the genius mixes are very easy to listen music. thank you.

Ok, I see. Keep in mind that the Genius mixes in iTunes will not be exactly the same as the Genius mixes on your iOS devices. I don't know why this is, but I suspect it is because they are locally generated. So you simply may not get more than 4 mixes on your devices.
I think, though, the best trouble shooting step is to disable iTM on the devices, launch the Music app and let the content clear out, then re-enable the service on the devices. See if that gives you any better results.

Basic Questions about Genius Mixes vs Genius Playlists

I'm new to the Genius feature of iTunes, and I would just like a clarification. Please confirm and deny this basic understanding of what I think I've learned about how Genius works.
In another thread that I read, I think that it was mentioned that there is a difference between what Apple calls a "Genius Mix" and a "Genius Playlist." That distinction was lost on me in Apple's documentation, but someone here mentioned that they are not the same thing, which explained why, during iTunes' initial creation of Genius Mixes I could discover no corresponding Genius Playlist(s).
From what I can gather, Genius Playlists are the song lists which I, a user, can create in iTunes by selecting any song in my library as the seed and clicking on the Genius button. Those song lists can then be used as the basis for playlists which I can create and add to other playlists that I can create without using the Genius feature. Right?
In contrast, Genius Mixes are song lists that Apple generates over which I have no control and apparently cannot generate a playlist that I can save, for I cannot see which songs are included in any of the twelve various mixes (based on genres in my library) that Apple creates. Is that correct, or am I missing something here?
Ideally, I guess that I'd like to be able to see what songs are coming up in the Genius Mixes. I'd like to know if there are some hidden commands to allow me to generate such a list, which must be in a database somewhere in iTunes, that I can easily access, or not. But, if that is not possible, let me know, then I'll just relax and take what comes randomly as a surprise.
I guess that a question related to this might be: Are the Genius Mixes which iTunes generates fixed, in the sense that everytime I open iTunes, any given mix will start over at the first song its presumably invisible, inaccessible list? Or, does iTunes shuffle the deck of my Genius Mixes each time it loads? Since I apparently have no way to see the items in any Genius Mix, how can I ever know how many items in any given genre's mix? How will I ever get to the end of that mix?

Thanks for the dialogue, guys. You've both filled in some key pieces that were missing from my previously unsophisticated use of iTunes.
Until dknightd mentioned the iTunes DJ technique, I had not tried that feature out. What a great feature to use all by itself, as well as a complement to the Genius function!
My initial exploration of the iTunes DJ features shows it to be technique in which I can use the pull-down menu to draw upon several of iTunes lists (i.e., its internal data bases) as the sources of a DJ playlist, with the Genius Mixes being only one of those sources.
My initial tests, however, indicated that the playlist generated by using a Genius Mix did not reveal a close enough correlation to the songs which the selected Genius Mix actually played. And, as Chris CA points out, neither was there much of a correlation, if any at all, in regards to the play order. So, as a method for pre-viewing, or monitoring, which songs any Genius Mix was playing, or was going to play, I did not find the iTunes DJ feature to be that reliable.
However, the very fact that the iTunes DJ feature is drawing upon a selected Genius Mix as the source for the playlist is quite valuable, for that playlist gives me all the information I need to be able to preview and monitor a selection of songs stylistically associated with each other, in accordance with whatever programming algorithms govern the selections made by the Genius feature.
Seeing a list of songs in the iTunes DJ window that was generated by drawing upon a Genius Mix gives me options I did not know that I had. I have learned that I can either switch over to the iTunes DJ feature and play the songs in the its viewable list, which gives me a measure of control over what I hear, or I can continue to be surprised by what the Genius Mix will play for me, without my knowing what's coming.
As to creating a playlist based on a Genius Mix itself, I also know now that I have at least two options: (1) I can create a playlist in real time based on the songs which appear in the iTunes DJ window; or (2) I can go to the Music window of all songs, sort it by songs Last Played, and create a playlist of songs that any given Genius Mix has previously played.
Both of those options give me lot more power and flexibility in getting the most out of this really neat digital jukebox that Apple designed. Thanks for the enlightening tips.
I'll leave this thread open for additional contributions on this topic by others.
