Genius Mixes (iTunes 11.0)

Hey, so I updated my iTunes to the 11.0 version and I really like it. The only problem would be with my Genius Mixes. I have a lot of stuff that I purchased through the store that I deleted from a long time ago and I know that they're still on the Cloud. I turned off the default setting of showing Music, Movies, etc. from the Could in your library, but whenever I update my Genius Mixes, I get songs that I deleted (and I deleted them for a reason!) in my mixes.
Basically, is there any way to get rid of Cloud songs on my Genius Mixes?

My family shares a single iTunes store account, even though we have separate iCloud accounts.  Now with iTunes 11, my genius mixes are all polluted with music that my teenage daughter downloaded. 
I suppose you might be able to set up a second iTunes account, or just log out of iTunes when you want to listen to just your own locally stored music, then log back in to your account when you want to make purchases, etc.  Not elegant, but it might work.

  • Can't use genius with iTunes Match?

    I signed up for iTunes Match today and on my iPhone I can no longer find the option to make a genius playlist. The icon is no longer in the center of the song bar. Help please.

    in the HELP menu in iTunes I found this, note the last sentence:
    Play a Genius playlist or Genius Mix
    iTunes can create playlists—called “Genius playlists”—from songs in your library that go great together.
    In addition to creating playlists based on particular songs, iTunes can turn your library into a set of commercial-free radio stations playing your favorite music from your library. This is called a “Genius Mix.”
    To create Genius playlists and Genius Mixes, iTunes uses anonymous information about your library and other iTunes libraries.
    To create Genius playlists and use Genius Mixes, you must turn on Genius, be connected to the Internet, and have an Apple ID. Genius is a free service.
    Note:  If you subscribe to iTunes Match, Genius is turned off.

  • Genius Mixes Not Working- On iTunes on Windows 7- 64 bit

    I built my iTunes library from my entire collection- of over 10,000 songs (more than 64 gigabytes)- and all songs are organized through iTunes Media folder- all have the proper information required for identification, match etc. These include 90s songs, 60s songs- and the latest. All sorts of music is in there. But when I turn on Genius I get NOTHING- Nada- no genius mixes, and although genius is on, I get no Genius playlists when select any track and ask for a play list. I have gone through all the forums I could lay my hands on, and tried all the tricks there. Now, I am at a loss. I filled more than half of my iPod Classic (160G), and would love to see what the genius mixes and genius playlists look like for my collections- but I see none. Any ideas? thanks.

  • How can I make a new genius mix? Apple has made two automatically, but I would like one based on other genres within my iTunes library. I have tried updating my genius mixes to no avail.

    How can I make a new genius mix? I do not want to make a genius playlist. Genius has already created two mixes but I would like another based on other genres within my extensive music library. I have tried updating Genius from Store>Update Genius but to no avail. Thank you!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • How do I set up genius mixes on my iPhone with iTunes match

    I have used genius mixes on my phone, but now that I have iTunes match I no longer see the controls for turning on the genius mixes for my phone.  How do I do that?

    Apparently this currently is not possible. Although the release notes of iOS 5.1 state that Genius Mixes should be available on iPhone and iPad, they simply don't show up. Here another thread concerning this problem: iOS 5.1 - Still No Genius Mixes

  • [Help] itunes 9 genius mixes never show up

    I just downloaded the new itunes 9. I love the geographic layout of the genius mixes and want to try it out. But it never show up. This is what I did.
    1. enable the genius.
    2. right click a song in my library and choose start genius.
    3. after updating, a playlist with 25 songs show up, but the genius mixes don't.
    I browsed the trouble shooting for this problem. Most of them can be solved by "store-> update genius" and "turn off genius and turn it back on". I tried both approaches and neither of them work for my situation.
    Is there any way to solve this problem? I wonder what is wrong here.. Many thanks.

    I did the Store->Update Genius.. the feedback is
    Your genius results have been updated.
    To make a Genius playlist, select a song in your library and click the genius button at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    no error showed up. And I did create a playlist using Genius. But the Mixes didn't show up anyway..

  • 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?

  • ITunes 9 - Genius shows but no Genius Mixes option...

    I am a big fan of my genius play lists and I was really excited for the new genius mixes feature in iTunes 9 but there is nothing showing where the tutorial video shows they should be visible.
    In my left menu bar, I have a full listing for Library, Store and a new section for Genius that wasn't there before but instead of having two items in the Genius section, I only have one - the Genius atom icon and the last genius playlist that I created. The second item that is shown on the video tutorial in that section is the boxy looking icon next to Genius mixes but is not visible.
    I have shut down the app, restarted my computer. It isn't preventing me from using my iPod or iTunes but is a feature that I want to use!

    Click on Store -> Update Genius, the Genius Mixes should pop up after a few moments under Genius on the left. Mine was the same way.

  • ITunes 9 genius mix missing?

    I installed iTunes 9, and everything is fine; my playlists, music, etc, is all there. However, the genius mix app thing is not showing up. Everything has been upgraded, even the format of iTunes, but the genius mix isn't coming up. How do I get it?

    Hey Jersey
    After you finished the iTunes 9 update did you update your Genius account (Store - Update Genius). Until you do this Genius Mixes won't display.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Genius mixes not working with iTunes 9

    The iTunes 9 video says to create a Genius mix, you click on Genius and then turn it on. It then says you'll need to log on to your iTunes account to get started.
    Well, there are already two playlists underneath the Genius icon in my sidebar. When I click on the Genius icon, I don't see anything about turning on Genius Mixes. I just see the list of songs for one of my playlists.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I no longer have access to Genius Mixes. It was working about 4 days ago, then after coming home from work 3 days ago, I click Mixes and get a blank white page. I have not been able to get it to work. In fact, I no longer have a Mixes bar and help does not have anything. Nothing (I've read 12 forums, over 3200 posts) works. I'm reinstalling but, I'm not optimistic. Oh it broke on my iPhone 4 as well. No option for Genius MIxes.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
