Genius Mix item doesn't display in sidebar

On both my Macs - a Mac mini and a MacBook Air - the Genius Mix item does not display in the sidebar. I've tried turing off and on Genius, updating it, etc, and nothing works.
This did work when the feature was first released, and I turned it off after a while. It's odd that it simply doesn't display, even though the Genius feature itself works fine (within the limits of the music it recognizes).
Any ideas on how to get it to display?

click here and follow the instructions.

"Recent items" doesn't display servers

"Recent items" shows applications and documents - but doesn't display servers. In System Preferences Appearance I have display 10 items set for them all. I tried trashing com.apple.recentitems.plist - but it hasn't helped.
It used to show everything correctly - but after I cleared the menu - the "servers" bit stopped working.

Hi John,
First of all, you have connected to a server(s) since you cleared the menu? If that's the case, I believe that "Recent Items" is a function of Finder so try this:
Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.

On this thread "
New Features now available in Adobe Muse

It states:
"The display of 100% width items on iOS devices is now enabled."
I can not get this to work. Tested my site on iPad, Android and iPhone.
Full width items do not expand.
The black background in the header is cut off.
How do I correct this.

Hi Andrew,
Here is a link: http://www.brandtimmigration.com

Genius Mixes Missing

I recently noticed that Genius Mixes were no longer available in my iTunes. The option was still available in the sidebar, but clicking it only revealed a blank white screen. I tried turning Genius off and on but then the Genius Mixes option disappeared completely from the sidebar. I also cannot access Genius Mixes on my iPod Touch which previously listed it as an option in the Music app but no longer appears since syncing with iTunes.
I have found some discussions of this problem on the Internet, but no solutions. Some people suggest that the problem could be due to an insufficient number of songs in the iTunes Library, but right now I have 3420 songs in my library, most by mainstream artists, so I don't think that's the problem.
Any help in getting Genius Mixes back is greatly appreciated. I really want to use this feature!

Genius Mixes doesn't appear at the Sidebar

I don't know how to activate Genius Mixes. I've tried some tutorials like updating genius, restarting genius etc.
But there is no Genius Mixes Window.
Please help me!

Can someone help me please?

Firefox doesn't display bookmarks in the sidebar, only in the menu bookmark. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize" bookmarks. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Problem began with 3.6.6

FF 3.6.6 doesn't display bookmarks in sidebar, but a search in the sidebar shows they are still there. It does display them from the menu bar. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize bookmark" display. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Doesn't save browser screen size.

With so many issues with your current profile it would be better to try a new profile.
Be careful with what you copy to that new profile and it sounds that at least you have problem with places.sqlite and maybe prefs.js and localstore.rdf as well.
First test that new profile without copying files and installing extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

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 genius mix doesn't work properly

Hi everybody,
On my late 2006 iMac with iTunes10 Genius Mix doesn't work properly.
After having activated Genius iTunes generates a number of mixes with different music styles.
When I scroll over the squares the play sign shows up, but only work for 1 of the 9 mixes when I click the play sign.
Clicking on the other play signs in the other squares does not do anything.
Does anybody know what is wrong here?
Thanks!

I now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way?

JSP doesn't display Oracle varchar2 Items on screen

I recently bought new laptop with windows XP professional with service pack 2. Loaded Oracle 10g Client on it. I have a Dell server with Linux and Oracle database 9i. Accessed the this database through new laptop using SQL plus window and works OK. (With that it is sure that my hosts file updated correct with proper IP address of server and tnsnames.ora files).
I have created a JSP application to access this database. It works perfectly OK in my old laptop with Windows XP home with service pack1. The connections are established through ODBC Data Source Administrator (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources) by adding a System Data Source. The application works perfectly OK and displays all fields that I intended and coded for. Only thing is it has Oracle 9i client.
But the same application in the new laptop doesn't work properly. It doesn't display Varchar2 values. It displays only Number and Date data types. This shows it is connecting to the database (oracle 9i). But varchar2 values are not displayed. The connections are established through ODBC Data Source Administrator.
I'm using Tomcat server (jakart-tomcat-5.0.27) on both the laptop. Please help me here.

Suggestion: don't use the ODBC driver to connect to Oracle. I presume you are using sun's JDBC-ODBC bridge?
Oracle have got a reasonably good 100% java JDBC driver which is all you need, and is a lot better than the ODBC bridge. I would recommend using the Oracle thin driver.
Your java code should remain largely unchanged. The only thing you would need to alter would be
1 - driver class being loaded (oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver)
2 - driver url (default would be something like: jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:ORCL)
3 - You would need the oracle jdbc driver in the classpath (ojdbc14.jar) You can find that in [ORA_HOME]/jdbc/lib
If you've written your database connection using a JNDI datasource, then all you would need to change would be the configuration in your tomcat server.
Hope this helps,

Portal Favoriate doesn't display items

Hi.
I used "Add to Portal Favoriate" function for adding iview into Portal Favoriate but Portal Favoriate displayed blank.
So, I pressed "Open in new windows" and I got new windows with iview entry.
Why Portal Favoriate doesn't display iview entry in spite of having iview entry ?
Is there any config for that ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold,
is the state of the Portal Favorites iView "Open" or "Closed" (see button next to the iView options)? If the iView is closed you don't see any entries.
Regards, Roland

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.

Genius mix doesn't find classical music

I had a genius mix that somehow is no longer a part of the mixes, and is now showing up as a playlist instead (though I never purposefully set one up). Every time I try to update genius, it never seems to find those tracks and add them back in. What steps to I need to take to reincorporate this as a genius mix? Thanks!

Select one track in your library that is currently missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info then look at the Where: entry on the Summary tab. You should get something along the lines of:
file://localhost/<path 1>/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<ext>
e.g. file://localhost/D:/iTunes/iTunes Music/Arcade Fire/Funeral/01 Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).mp3
The true path will be something else of the form:
<path 2>\<Artist>\<Album>\## Name.<ext>
e.g. D:\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music\Arcade Fire\Funeral\01 Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).mp3
Comparing the two paths should reveal what needs to be done to put music back where iTunes "expects" to find it. The examples show the different default locations before and after the upgrade to iTunes Media Organisation. I've seen problems before with the way iTunes manages this upgrade so that it occasionally reorganizes the files but then carries on looking for them in the old location. It is also surprising how easy it is sometimes to accidentally move a folder without noticing. Alternatively Windows may simply have switched the drive letter for your external drive. Windows Media Player is more resilient in these circumstances.
If you can give the two locations for a sample file I can probably suggest what will need doing to put things right.

ITunes 9 Genius Mixes (having issues)

I turned off Genius, turned it back on to get Genius Mixes and have not been able to actually play a Genius Mix yet! When I go to the Genius Mix icon and then try and select a Mix, I hit the Play button that appears in the middle of the 4 random cd cover artworks and nothing happens. Well, sometimes, the beach ball shows up and iTunes just stalls! What is going on here? Why doesn't music start playing? Has anyone else had this issue?

"All I needed to do was check all files, update genius results and Mixes worked properly. Short end of it...Genius only had a few songs, so while the mixes saw my collection, the only relevant tracks to pull from was 14, so the genre wouldn't play if no tracks were in my genius profile....arrrg "
Same problem since update! Maddening. So where did you "check all files" ?
I can see the 12 mixes, some play right away and others do nothing or get the BBOD/force quit. I've got 2700+ items in my Music list so ought to be enough for some of these. How do you see what is in the mix, or can you?

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Additionally, I recommend reviewing the following resource to sync the Genuis Mixes to your iPod:
iPhone and iPod: Understanding Genius Mixes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3843
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
