Genius mixes erased after iTunes 10 upgrade

After I upgraded my iTunes to v.10 all my genius mixes were erased and I cannot create it again. Anyone could help me?

After upgrading to iTunes 10, when I tried to connect my 80GB iPod Classic to my Mac Book Pro, the iPod was not recognized by either my computer or by iTunes. It would say "Connecting" on the iPod, but then it would click and show the Apple icon for a few seconds, then the cycle would repeat.
I finally decided to start the iPod in Disk Mode and then connect to my computer. When I did that, it would connect to my iTunes and I was able to sync.
I then went to Disk Utility and verified and repaired my iPod disk (no problems and nothing to repair.) On one discussion, the person then erased everything from his iPod and then restored. Rather than do that, I disconnected my iPod and re-connected it in the standard mode. This time, it was recognized by iTunes and I was able to sync.
Tried it again this morning and again it was able to sync. The next time, it may not, but right now it appears that might be a possible solution.

No Genius Mix listed in iTunes on Macbook

Hello,
Interesting issue. I'm running latest version of the iTunes software and I don't have the Genius Mix listed along the left side. My best guess is that this may as result of the small size of my music library on the macbook. My windows machine does have it listed.
Is there a number threshold on the size of the music library that must be reached before Genius Mix is listed?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure there's a check mark by Genius in itunes Pref./General tab. But I don't know why the genius playlist would show up if that wasn't checked. That's strange.

After iTunes 10 upgrade iPod Classic not identified nor can I restore

Totally lost and don't know how to proceed. I have been using iTunes with my iPhone with never a problem. I received an iPod classic 160GB for Christmas last year and again, no problems, everything has been working great.
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I upgraded to iTunes 10 and iTunes works great. I plugged in my iPhone 2G, no problem. I plugged in my iPod Classic 160GB and iTunes freezes, NOTHING happens at all. The album cover pictures don't even display until after I unplug the iPod Classic device.
I can see iPod device in "My Computer" but not in iTunes 10. In iTunes 10 the device doesn't appear at all until I give up and unplug the device. Then an error message pops up and the iPod is shown in the left column. The error says a file is missing and the device can't sync. I can't do anything except click OK. Then the error message goes away and the device drops out of the left column.
I searched for info on this problem, and have tried all of the suggestions.
It charges through USB with no problem except the battery is fully charged.
I tried 3 different USB ports on the PC.
Tried restarting iTunes.
Tried restarting the computer.
Went to Apple support website, tried the troubleshooting assistant:
*Reset the iPod.
*Had already tried different USB ports.
*Had already tried restarting the PC.
*Removed iTunes 10 and all the software programs in the order specified.
*Went to Apple website and Re-installed iTunes.
*ITunes and iPhone still work fine, NO iPod Classic recognition in iTunes.
*Next option is to Restore but CAN'T because iTunes won't recognize the iPod to perform Restore. After reading the instructions, it appears that the iPod has to be connected to do this, and that's the problem -won't connect!
Is there anyone who can help? This didn'thappen until installed iTunes 10.
The iPod has 120GB of music on the device. The device is still working fine. I just can't get iTunes 10 to recognize the iPod Classic device.

Playlist after itunes 11 upgrade

I just upgraded to itunes 11, and my playlists are gone.
Where did they go?
Also, where is the cover flow?

Playcounts are definitely being erased (I'd lost them on hundreds of songs), often for the same songs itunes unilaterally changes genre disgnations on (and the genre designations are changed a second and third time if I "dare" to override itunes' change and go back to the genre I set). I've even seen it change the album name and track number change for a track or two. They want everything to match what's in their store, even though they were the ones that designed a media player that encouraged us to organize things our own way and make changes. Oh well, hours upon hours worth of effort and many years of effort down the drain in Apple's snap of a finger. They decided to go in a new direction and we're all casulties.
I've blocked the itunes store, turned off genius, and told itunes it can't tell Apple the contents of my library under preferences. Hopefully that'll stabilize things a little, even though it means I lose a lot of features (And Apple loses my business for buying new songs- already I was mostly buying from amazon and google due to lower prices, now it'll be all the time because I don't dare risk connecting to the apple servers to access the itunes store). I can never get the playcounts back for those songs it erased them from, though. I don't know what they were, and there are too many songs with no playcount for me to sit there manually playing them over and over again anyway, and it'd reset the last played date on them. It screws up my whole system- smart playlists, and also makes the playcounts that remain less relevant (Because some songs are starting from scratch now- so I can't compare them anymore and really know what is most played and least played and where something falls since 2008 when I went digital with my music collection.).
This is just sad. An end of an era. Some stuff we'll never get back even if Apple fixes it's system.
I mean, I'm kind of poor, so I don't have a Mac or an iphone or anything, becasue those products are so expensive and sometimes require credit or expensive service plans. But I loved my itunes and my trusy ipod classic.
*sigh*
I don't even know if there is a physical music player out there other than the classic that'll hold 90+ gigs of music. Certainly my Android phone won't. And I'm not sure if there is software that's stable and reliable with the features I want and the ability to sync with my classic.
We've all been abandoned in favor of the next big thing. Apple is trying to make everyone's collections match what Apple wants, because ultimately Apple wants to push everyone into a subscription cloud service. Wait and see if I'm wrong. I don't think I am. It's coming.

IPod Shuffle no longer works after iTunes 8 upgrade

I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the iPod Shuffle category so I'll post it in both places. I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 and I'm running OS 10.4.11. I have an iPod shuffle that was purchased new last December so I'm not sure what generation that makes it. It has always worked fine with iTunes 7 but now I can not get it to play. I can sync it with iTunes 8 and see that my songs and podcasts are there on the Shuffle but when I disconnect it and plug in the ear buds I get no sound. Nothing. I've tried to play with the volume, forward to different tracks, pause, play, etc. etc. Nothing. No sound coming from iPod shuffle at all now. It is charged up so that's not the issue.
I should also say that my Shuffle was working fine just moments BEFORE I synched it with iTunes 8 for the first time.
Is there a known issue with iTunes 8 and the Shuffle?
Thanks in advance.

After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!

How to connect apple tv generation 1 after itunes 11 upgrade?

After upgrading to iTunes 11 I lost connection to my Apple TV Generation 1. I have tried everything suggested in the forums, but was hoping someone has any other suggestions.
This is what I have allready done:
- Power cycle apple tv
- Power cycle WIFI network
- Power cycle PC
- Disable firewalls
- Reinstall iTunes
- Factory restore apple TV
- Upgraded apple TV genaratio 1 to latest firmware
- Power cycle everything again...
I confirmed that connectivity is fine. Apple TV connects to internet (youtube etc.). Also I can ping AppleTV from my PC.
Again, tried everything I could find on the forums without luck.
Anyone have any other suggestions or troubleshooting steps?
Thanks in advance!

I was able to fix this by enabling IGMP broadcasting on my router for the IP addresses of the PC with iTunes and the apple tv. It appears that bonjour uses this and iTunes recognized appleTV immediately.
I did run into another issue. After upgrading to the latest firmware Apple TV keeps rebooting/restarting...

After iTunes 9 upgrade iPod Classic is corrupt without ability to restore

I am upset right now, so this will seem a bit harsh. I do not really care if this has been posted, it needs to be said again.
I upgraded my Windows Vista x64 PC to iTunes 9 today and attempted to sync my iPod Classic 80GB to iTunes. It failed and it became apparent after doing some searching online that the hard drive was corrupt. After connecting my iPod to the PC again, iTunes told me that the iPod was corrupted need to be restored. After downloading the update and extracting it, the iPod restore process begins and then fails.
I've tried to restore my iPod on Mac and Windows, and I've tried all the recommendations from Apple regarding the error that I get, something about the restore failed due to an unknown error 1439. Thanks Apple for unknown errors.
This is a relatively good condition iPod that is slightly out of warranty and I need to know what I can do to get it repaired. It worked just fine this afternoon and I've never had a problem with it, ever. I know it's a functional iPod I just need a restore but it won't work for me.
Will the Apple Store nearest me help me with this, or will they tell me to take off b/c it's out of warranty????
Questions needing answers.
Thanks for any and all help.
-Matt

I stumbled onto this thread after I hooked up my iPod video to try and synch it. I too got the "Corrupted iPod" message. I usually don't eject my iPod, as it doesn't disconnect from Windows cleanly. After going through a few steps, I have my iPodsynched & ready to go. (Perhaps it's just a bug in the new version of iTunes, which I have to admit is more aesthetically pleasing).
I clicked the "Eject iPod" button in iTunes.
I selected "USB Mass Storage Device" from the safely remove hardware wizard
I reset the iPod (Switch to HOLD & back, then hold down MENU & center buttons until screen turns off)
Unhooked iPod from data cable
Hooked iPodback up
iTunes recognized and synched...
I don't know if this will help anyone, but I'm hoping that it will. Post back letting everyone know if it succeeds or fails.

Album Art Screensaver does not work after iTunes 9 upgrade

After I upgraded to iTunes 9 my album art screensaver no longer works. I get the message saying "Your iTunes library does not contain any songs with artwork". I have tried deleting the plist files per another support topic, but this doesn't fix the problem. Ideas?

This is the Tiger forum - you are running Snow Leopard!
But I would suggest you post your question in the iTunes forum:

Choppy Audio on Tracks After iTunes 8 Upgrade

All the tracks in iTunes now sound choppy. Music fades in and out, sounds scratchy, etc. This happened immediately after upgrading to iTunes 8. Anyone have any solutions?

I am experiencing scratchy audio in iTunes and I believe that it coincides with a fairly recent upgrade. I too thought it was my speakers because the distortion fits the profile or a torn cone or other mechanical speaker issue. But I eliminated everything but iTunes as the cause, since the problem persists with headphones but playing tunes directly in the Quicktime app results in clear sound. The same files sound fine on my iPod.
It is most apparent in certain frequencies, i.e. the vocals in many tracks are the most affected. On some tracks it is subtle and on others unbearable. Mp3s from eMusic, ripped CD tracks and purchased iTunes are all affected.

Imessage all mixed up after iOS 6 upgrade

We have several family members and several devices and we cannot imessage each other using our respective emails since the upgrade.
We have an Apple ID that we all use for purchasing from the itunes store and we set up seperate individual apple ids for icloud and to prevent
us from getting all of each others stuff .
This is where I get mixed up and I hope that someone can advise if I've got this correct.
1. On each of the seperate devices in settings>icloud the account should be each family members individual Apple ID ?
2.In settings>messages>send & receive should the Apple ID there be also each family members individual Apple ID ?
Currently we all appear to have the joint Apple ID that is used for itunes purchases and I wonder if this is the problem.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

I am having the same issues with my mom and my iPhones & iPads. I look forward to anybody having a solution regarding using the same apple ID on several devices.

Lost embedded album art after iTunes 11 upgrade

I just spent 6 months embedding album art into my music files and movie files. Pre-iTunes 11, all album art was displayed. After upgrading to iTunes 11, every album and movie starting with the letter A and B has no album art. I used purchased Mac apps to embed album art into my files, so I know it is there. Can somebody from Apple please fix this bug? Maybe in the next iTunes update, can Apple fix the issue with iTunes not showing embedded abum art. I am not talking about added album art, I am talking about purchasing an App to use and actually embedding album art into my music and movie files from my own personal purchased content. Please somebody look into this and fix in the next update? If I got into Finder and navigate to my iTunes music/movies folder, the movie/music file is there with the embedded album art. So, this proves to me that there is a bug in iTunes 11 that prevents it from displaying album art for every piece of content that starts with the letter A and B. Please fix?

I have the exact same problem. I've found that for movies, if I choose "Get Info" for each movie and then click on the "Artwork" tab, my cover art is still there and I just have to select it and it restores it for the movie. I haven't checked with music, as most of my music art is fine. This is a pain as I have a couple hundred movies that I have to do this for (uuuggghhhhh), but at least it's a fix.

No stereo sound after iTunes 8 upgrade

Newbie here.
I upgraded to iTunes 8. ITunes see my remote hifi system via Airport Express but there's no sound from the remote speakers. However I have sound through same system using my laptop with iTunes 7.
Would greatly appreciate help to solve this problem.

Hello, wongjai.
You might be better off posting this problem over in the AirPort for Windows forum here on the Apple Discussions.
Good Luck!

Lost all songs after iTunes 7 upgrade

Hi there,
It seems that I was a little too quick in updating this time. iTunes 7 seems to suck !!!
After having several problems with installing Quicktime during installation I finally got everything installed only to find iTunes completely empty !!! Now there are MANY hours of work put into having this program the way I wanted it - any ideas on how to get back to the good old days???
I tried System restore, but that didn't work...
TIA
Jan

It's quite simple. You have your files stored in a different folder than the default one.
In iTunes click on Edit -> Preferances
Click on the Advanced tab
Change the iTunes music folder location.
Follow the prompts to reload most of your old music.
I say most because a few of my purchased items dissapeared, not all and I was able to get all but one back from apple. The one I couldn't get they basically told me tough s*t on.

Play Count after iTunes 5 upgrade

Since upgrading to iTunes 5 from 4.9, most (but not all) of my play counts have been turned into a series of random numbers, such as -1088620803. Anyone else have this problem? I think I've been spared all the other bad stuff, although I really dislike the new design.

Fastal,
Good that you are back with the all important playcounts but as I do know the Technical reason for this one-off occurence, let me assure you it is not a fault rather another step forward as we move into an era where data files that do not conform, for whatever reason, to the latest standards will be changed gradually each time they are moved or accessed, until they all match the specifications as laid out... files you have had on your computer in the past are the most likely culprits... a few years ago the rules were very loose and there were thousands of differents formats ... as these have been assimilated into the latest data formats you end up with a situation like this... to write software that would fix and convince everyone to use it is impossible as the variables are too many and would probably be a step backwards.
take care Fastal you are welcome... TP

After iTunes 6 Upgrade iPod is "read only", can't update

I installed iTunes 6 - now at 6.0.1 (3), and my iPod seems to be read only. I reset the iPod, and it did transfer all songs back to the iPod, but will not allow me to create play lists or modify the iPod in any way. When the iPod is selected (highlighted) in iTunes, all songs are greyed out, as if I do not have the appropriate access to modify the iPod itself.
Additional information: Mac OS 10.3.9, iPod updated to v 2.3
Any help would be appreciated.
