Genius List of songs

Does anyone know why the Genius List will not recoginize certain artists? Especially when the iTunes store has the songs in the library and the said songs were purchsed through iTunes... A specific artist would be The Dixie Chicks.. I have updated the Genius Library without success. I have also repeated the attempt several times...

Select the Genius playlist.
At top right, select Save playlist.
This saves as a regular playlist you can then add to.

Has anyone noticed that songs which were previously in the genius list could not longer be used to created a genius play list?

Has anyone noticed that songs which were previously in the genius list could not longer be used to created a genius play list? Songs like "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers or a Beach Boy song can no longer be recognized to create a genius play list.

How do I adjust the length of a genius list in Itunes 11

Aside form any number of problems I am finding with this new version, my current favorite is how do you get more than 25 songs on a genius list? and don't get me started on what happened to find duplicates function.
Thanks

Simply double click on the playlist name.
Really easy
Let me know

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

Genius List problems

I had created a Genius list from the song Blue by Joni Mitchell (not an obscure song) several months ago and and have refreshed it more than once. Suddenly I get a message that Genius is unavailable for that song. I have updated Genius, restarted machine, etc. Using version 11.0.5 of iTunes. Why is this happening? Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks.

And I keep getting this message when trying to update Genius-- "We could not complete your iTunes Store reqest. An unknown error occurred (4002) Please try again later."

My iPhone has my daughter's music but those same songs do not show up on the computer in the list of songs on my iPhone. They are in the library though

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.
See Gropuing tracks into albums for details.

How would I export a list of songs on an iPod to a text file?

I found one of my old iPod shuffles that's synced to an old PC that is long gone... I'm looking for a way to export what's currently on the iPod Shuffle as a text file or something so I can remember that "phase" in my life in the form of a playlist. I used to be able to do this in iTunes 10, but not quite sure how in 11+. Does anyone know how to do this?

If you are able to connect the shuffle to iTunes and show its list of songs, it may be best to take a screen shot of iTunes window at max size. Scroll the list and take additional screen shots as needed.
NOTE: There is a command in the menu bar to
File -> Library -> Export Playlist...
Give this command with the shuffle's Music list selected in the sidebar. However, this command is meant to create a text file that is later imported into iTunes, so it is not formatted to be nicely readable to human eyes.
iTunes 11.x may hide the sidebar (along left side of window). To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. To show the list of songs on the shuffle...
• If the shuffle is 3rd or 4th gen, find the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle's name, to drop down its content list (indented below the shuffle). Click on Music there.
• If the shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, the shuffle itself is one playlist. Select it in the sidebar, under DEVICES, so that its Settings screen is shown to the right. Toward the top, where is says "Settings," click on On This iPod (to the right).
You can actually off-load the song files from the shuffle. You cannot use iTunes to do this (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on the computer's drive, I suggest you create a new playlist in iTunes, and name it appropriately (like "Old iPod Songs"). Show the song files in an Windows Explorer window, and drag them to that playlist in the iTunes window. iTunes will add the songs to the (general) iTunes library, but that playlist will only show the songs that were on the shuffle. And you can actually play the songs for a shot of "nostalgia" (not just look at their names).

HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do make a cd case cover or list of songs?

I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

beggsc54, There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

How do I preview songs within iTunes list of songs on my iPod Shuffle?

I want to hear what songs are on my iPod shuffle with their listed title , so I know what to keep and what to delete.
Because, when you know you want to delete some songs, but do not remember all the titles.

Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. The next step depends on whether your shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, or if it is 3rd or 4th (current) gen. If you don't know, this article shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
1st or 2nd gen - Look over to the right and click on the Contents tab. That screen shows the list of songs currently on the shuffle. You should be able to play them off the list. With a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, when you do this, you are actually playing the song file that is in your iTunes library (on computer), not the song file that is currently stored on the shuffle (but they should be the same).
3rd or 4th gen - Click on the little triangle next to the shuffle (in sidebar) to "drop down" the iTunes media categories (indented under shuffle). Select Music. Over to the right, you should see a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle. If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music (on the shuffle's Summary tab), you should be able to play them off the list. If you use automatic syncing, the song list should be visible, but "grayed out" (not accessible); you need to play the songs from the playlist(s) you sync automatically to the shuffle (in your iTunes library).

List of songs on my iPod

Occasionally, I want to edit the album names, etc. for the songs already on my iPod...since I updated to 7, I cannot figure out how to see a list of songs that are on my iPod like I can with the songs that are in my library. Please help.

no, there is contents. i just figured it out.
to recap: i had 2 problems: one was that i couldn't see the contents of the shuffle. the other was that i couldn't eject my shuffle. when i tried to eject, i kept getting the message that i couldn't eject because an application was using the files on the ipod. when i clicked the icon of my shuffle i got the picture of the ipods with the heading "ipod + itunes," as i recall. there were no settings or content tabs.
now i realize there were no tabs because i had not finished the registration of the shuffle on my pc. i had registered the shuffle on the website without using itunes. i didn't realize that there was more i needed to do in itunes because i couldn't see all of the buttons in my window. when i followed through with the registration in itunes all the way to the end, the 2 tabs were revealed and the songs that i had already loaded on the shuffle were listed in "contents." and, i was able to eject the shuffle. apparently itunes (or whatever) was still looking for a completed registration and wouldn't release the shuffle. sigh.
if you can not see the settings and contents tabs in itunes when you click your shuffle in devices or you can not eject the shuffle, look at the window with the picture of the ipods in itunes. there is more below. complete the registration (i had already done so on the web earlier, but my itunes was not complete.).
thanks to everyone for your help.

I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.
