Genius Sidebar in iTunes 10

What the **** happened to the Genius Sidebar in iTunes 10?
Does anybody know if this feature returns or not?
I don't really like the Ping Sidebar, I barely use it.

It was replaced by the Ping sidebar. Whether Apple will ever go back to offering the Genius sidebar in some fashion no one here can say. You can comment to Apple on the matter via the Feedback page:

Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Where is the Genius Sidebar on itunes 11 ?

    Where is the Genius Sidebar on itunes 11 ???? Don't tell me that they have remove this wonderful feature ?....

    I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

    I have been trying to get it to work ever since I installed v8, it's NOT WORKING
    How come it takes SO LONG to scan a library!
    It's been FIFTEEN HOURS now and it's ONLY 20% COMPLETE!
    At this rate it will take it OVER THREE DAYS to complete it's scan!
    Any have any suggestions as to why it's taking so long, and any fixes for it?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Searching for other experiences with this new feature. Trying to run this scan on 1 TB of music will have it run for days as was said in the original post, and will eventually crash itunes with no warning or error message.

  • ITunes crashes when closing Genius Sidebar

    I upgraded to iTunes 8 without any problems it seemed. It took "Genius" forever to analyze my iTunes library but it all seemed to work. "Genius" can made recommendations.
    The problem is when I try to exit the Genius Sidebar. ITunes crashes at that point. I have Windows Vista32. Any ideas for help?

    Me too. How do I turn that off permanently. It *****. I work at Starbucks a lot and it's loading a bunch of Starbucks crap I don't want to listen to. Try going offline and rebooting itunes then setting your prefs. That seemed to work for me on the crashing prob.

  • Genius Sidebar

    Does anyone know how to get rid of the Ping Sidebar and get back the Genius sidebar in iTunes 10? I just upgraded I can't seem to get rid of the learn more about ping sidebar after recently upgrading.
    Cheers

    No official word if this is the case or not. There was nothing in the release notes saying that the genius sidebar was discontinued.
    I for one am really unhappy at this its removal without any consultation or word from apple. I really missed the functionality of the genius sidebar which has led me to buy countless tracks and albums from the store.
    restored 10.0 from time machine backup and turned off automatic updates. Now happy am certainly not upgrading until apple can tell me how i can get the genius sidebar back.

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
    Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC
    I can hit my Airplay devices such as Apple TV and Zeppelin Air with iPads, iPods, and iPhones. Just not from the PC Console where is previously enjoyed it the most. So I know the devices are fine. They are all on the same physical wired and wireless network. Even when I put the Zeppelin on the wired LAN there is no Airplay icon in iTunes on the PC.

    Hi. just want to tell you i had the same problem Ipad--->tv working ok iphone---->tv also working ok pc home sharing not working and airplay icon in itunes 11.0.2.26 is missing. iam running windows 7 64bit
    NOW! i can tell you in my case it was nothing to do with your router or antyvirus ip connection.
    my pc is auto updating every sunday and icon has disappeared on monday i realized this fact and i have started uninstalling windows updates one by one after each uninstall i have restarted PC each time always run itunes and check if airplay icon is back. AND THER SHE WAS fiew windows updates uninstalled and icon is back in itunes
    Now i can not remember what Update it was KB28 ..... something i didnt wright it down at the time i hope this will help someone.

    Genius Recommended Song List
    I think I figured out how to access the genius Recommended Songs sidebar. This should help those of you who, like me, use genius to find new music from the iTunes Store, instead of just to create genius playlists. It appears that you CAN access my beloved Recommended Song list from iTunes 11...only NOT from your library's Songs page, but through the Albums or Artists pages.
    1. Click on a song you want to see Genius Recommendations for so the song row is highlighted.
    2. Go to either the Albums or Artists page by clicking the appropriate button at the top of the library screen.
    3. Click "In The Store" at the top right of the new popup screen:
    On the Albums Page:
    On the Artists Page:

  • Where has the genius sidebar gone in itunes 11?????

    apple removed the genius sidebar already in itunes 10. then after many complaints they brought it back. but with itunes 11 it's gone again!!!!! maybe i stop buying from itunes and switch to a more user friendly store... or just listen to music on the radio. hey, apple, you lose customers if you keep on removing good features!!!

    Agree......and I spent 7 grand with you all last year...I read a little more. I'm sorry but I don't need help creating playlists. I like the system learning my habits and suggesting songs I migtht like. 90% of my music purchases stem from this functionalilty. Gone now.

  • In the new iTunes 11 where is the genius sidebar that used to be on the right hand side of your music playlist?

    In the old version of iTunes you had a genius sidebar on the right hand side of your music library that showed similar artists and songs to the song that was currently being played or highlighted in your personal library. Where is that function in the new iTunes 11?

    I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

  • HOW DO YOU DOWNGRADE TO ITUNES 10.0.0 TO GET THE GENIUS SIDEBAR BACK ??

  • 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,

  • Where is the genius bar in ITunes 11.0.1?

    Can't seem to find the genius sidebar that recommends new tracks from the Itunes store. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore it to the left hand side of the screen?

    Hi Guys,
    I believe that all you need to do in iTunes 11 is go to the iTunes Store & Select Store menu bar item, you can then drop down to turn on Genius; then the screen below will show & finally you turn on Genius (again) there. Once you do that it will show in your iTunes sidebar. Click to enlage screenshot:
    Enjoy!

  • Can't Turn On Genius Sidebar

    I recently got a new computer and itunes works and all except for the genius sidebar. Whenever I try to turn it on and log in I've been getting "Request Temporarily Unavailable, Please Try Again Later" However I keep getting this same message everytime I have tried to log in for the past 3 weeks.
    Any ideas?

    "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later." I've been getting this message yesterday and today. I'm on iTunes 10 on a new iMac.
    Genius is broken!
