Genius cannot send information to Apple, please help!

Hi is there anybody out there who can help me?
This is the problem:
I have an iMac with itunes 8 on. I've been trying to start genius features the whole week. The first step (scanning my library) is ok but then the system takes way too much time to send information to apple. I tried to let it go for more that 8 hours in different days. There must be something wrong. Any idea how to fix this?
i've already tried to check itunes libraries file with XML validator and it says that it is ok.
I really don't know what else to do.

Weird! Are you logged in to the iTunes store and have authorised your computer?

  • Cannot send mail...please help!

    Hello,
    My mail is all of a sudden not allowing me to send emails, however I can receive them. When I try to send an email it pops up with the following error message:
    "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this??!!
    Thank you

    Who is your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet?
    Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider with the Mail application and if so, are you able to send messages with this account?
    Try this first:
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    This should work and if not and you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server with Mail that is provided by your internet service provider and you can send messages with this account, select/use your internet service provider's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account.
    Likely your ISP made a recent change regarding the use of an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 and neglected to inform their customers.

  • IMessage cannot send out pictures. Please help?

    Hello, I am unable to send out pictures on iMessage - texts are fine.
    It simply shows the red error icon & states Not Delivered.
    Only pictures cannot be delivered, texts are completely unaffected. Definitely not a network issue.
    Is anyone facing this same problem???

    I was having the same problem on my iPhone 4S and my iPad. I found that if the person i was trying to send them too had not done the latest update then I would get the "Not Delivered" message. So I updated said persons phone and now I have no problem sending and they no longer have a problem receiving them.. Hope this helps out! :)

  • Can not get Itunes match to work. It stops on the first step and on my status bar it just says "sending information to apple" this goes on for hours. Help please.

    Help please. I cannt get itunes match to work. It just stops on the first step and the status bar continues to say "sending information to apple" for hours. Any ideas?

    I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

  • "Genius - Sending information to Apple..."  - How do I stop this?

    Everytime I start iTunes, I get this message in the top status bar "Genius - Sending Information to Apple..." Note: I'm internet connected and can get to any site.
    The status doesn't goes away. How do I stop this? How do I disable "Genius"?
    The little icon in the lower right of iTunes (for Genius) when paused on says "Start Genius" and it's greyed out. So I can neither start nor stop Genius.
    thanks.

    Thanks, All. I can hide the sidebar and the entry in the playlists list, but the status message remains.
    When I go the pulldown menu for Store, the 'Turn off Genius' is greyed out.
    I saw another message on this board that said it took many hours to complete "sending information to Apple" so I'll just wait and see if/when I can turn off Genius.
    Thanks, all, for your help.

    When turning on my Macbook, the Apple logo shows up, but then the circle just keeps spinning and I cannot move forward...PLEASE HELP! Can I take it to the Apple Store to get fixed? Can I do something? It's driving me nuts!

  • When I sync my iPhone 4s, it sticks at "sending information to Apple.

    Hi,
    When I sync my iPhone 4s, it always sticks at "sending information to Apple". I don't have Genius switched on, nor do I have Apple match.  If someone could help me in as simple a way as possible, you would make a computer illiterate pensioner very happy. Thank you.

    Try to restart your PC or reinstall iTunes. Apple Mobile Device Service is installed by iTunes and must be launched at startup in order to work properly

  • Itunes match no longer sending information to apple

    Itunes Match will no longer send anything to apple It has been stuck at sending information to apple for the past three hours. Anyone know what's going on?

    Hi there,
    I had the same problem with Windows version of iTunes although the fix is the same for Mac or Windows I'd guess. If you've tried the "Switch off / on iTunes Match" thing and still getting an error try this:
    1) Turn off iTunes Match and Genuis.
    2) De-authorise Computer
    3) Sign out of your Apple account.
    Re-boot computer and start up iTunes
    4) Sign back into your Apple ID
    5) Authorise your Computer
    6) Turn on Genius and wait for Apple to send back results and process completes
    7) Turn on iTunes Match and click the "add this computer" button to start the matching process.
    8) Allow iTunes Match to go through the updating process - this time it should eventually complete.
    Hope this works - it certainly fixed my "Sending Information to Apple" problem.

  • I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

    I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

    The way I resolved this issue was to create a dual boot Mac, so that I am able to boot from either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Running Vectorworks in a virtual machine just didn’t cut it.
    I had already upgraded to Mavericks, which meant that trying to install OS 10.8.5 as a second operating system produced the error message saying it cannot be installed on this computer.
    First, if you need a copy of Mountain Lion installer and you has previously purchased it, open the App Store app, press the option key and then click on the purchases tab. You will see a list of all downloaded software from Apple and you can download OS 10.8.5 again without paying for it a second time. If you had previously created a boot disk of Mountain Lion, which I had not, you can obviously skip this step and the next.
    You will need a boot disk for Mountain Lion. After downloading the Mountain Lion installer, the easiest way to create a boot disk is to use a slick little app called DiskMaker X, which you can get here: http://liondiskmaker.com  Next you will need a USB flash drive of at least 8GB in size. Install and run DiskMaker X, plug in your flash drive, and follow the prompts. In just a few clicks, your boot drive will be easily created.
    Next, you will need to add a partition on your startup drive on which you will install Mountain Lion. Here is the procedure for creating the new partition: http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilitysize.htm  You can find this at Apple support, but this site gives you additional procedures that may be helpful. I set my new partition at 50 GB, but you can do with less is you don’t have the space.
    With those two operations done, and your OS 10.8.5 boot drive plugged in, restart you Mac and press the option key after you hear the chime. You will be asked which drive you wish to start from- select the boot drive. After your Mac boots up, you will see several options- choose install Mountain Lion (actually I think the option is reinstall Mountain Lion).
    After completing the OS install, install your copy of Vectorworks, copy and move whatever files you need to from Mavericks, and you are in business. To boot from either OS, simply press the option key and select OS 10.8.5 when you need to work in Vectorkorks, or OS 10.9 for all your other tasks. Switching back and forth isn’t as advantageous as otherwise, but it is the best way to run Vectorworks without upgrading for the $1,500 or so that would be required otherwise.

  • HT201210 cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

    cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

    If you mean updae server
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise what server are you talking about
