"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.

  • I've had my husband's e-mail set up on my phone, but now even though i have deleted it, any messages i send from my own e-mail seem to send from his.  How can i stop this?

    i used to have my husband's e-mail account set up on my phone.  I've since deleted it but it seems to send all messages from his account.  very confusing and means i miss out on replies etc.
    Any advice?

    This seems to be happening to a lot of users, so I suppose the servers are down.

  • I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself.  how do i stop this from happening?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

    Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

    . You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

  • 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.

    My MS outlook on the PC is sending two invites in the icloud calandar. How can I stop this? I ony want the email send with my email address not the apple email.

    My phone is the 4.  Not the 4s. And I went there but it's nowhere the option to delete from server.

  • Itunes match stuck at sending information to apple

    Anyone else having issues tonight? Once a week the iTunes match seems to auto run the info gathering and send to apple. Normally it works fine although can be a but slow to get a response from apple sometimes. Tonight it just won't go past 'sending information to apple'. Each time I start iTunes it gathers the info to try again. Anyone else getting similar? My library has not changed in weeks so it can't be anything like that. I guess server issues at apples end?
    Cheers

    Welcome to the iTunes Match family...
    But I have the same problem everyone is experiencing. It's not an exactly a trend with iTunes Match, but when it works... it works flawlessly. But as mracole mention above, it's most likely a maintenance issue.

  • "Sending information to Apple" -- is it just me?

    I'm at the point now where most of the music I want in iCloud is done and over with, and I just add to it sparingly at this point.  So I noticed about a week back that I had a tendency to hang at "Sending information to Apple" when I tried to add one new album, but a retry the next day was A-OK.   Then I had this happen yet again, even after letting it sit overnight.  And still having this issue now, with two different systems tested.
    So is Apple making another update of some kind without telling us?  Or am I all alone here with some one-off problem?  Just curious as I sit and wait wait and wait wait for my Match of exactly five albums to complete.  

    Replied to myself -- it finished!  I just let it sit and it took a good 30-40 minutes but it finally got past that part.   No worries but I'll have t bundle up my uploads as best I can next time if this is the norm now.....
