[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 Match Genius Mixes won't work on iOS devices anymore

Hi,
I had the iTunes Match Genius Mixes running on my Apple TV and iPhone without any problems until yesterday. Since then the iPhone still shows the list of mixes, but no cover art of the contained songs nor does anything happen when I press the play button. On the Apple TV it says that I should first enable Genius in my iTunes on my Mac, but that has already happened.
I tried signing out and in again from iTunes Match several times. The iTunes library load everywhere without problem and all songs are availble but no Genius or Genius Mixes. I also tried disabling iTunes Match on my Mac and turned it on again. Same result. All iOS device does not offer Genius or Genius Mixes anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue as well. Tried same process of turning off and on match on all my devices, nothing works.
I really miss my genius mixes, and considering I just purchased iTunes Match, this kind of stinks.

HT2736 some one iTunes give card it never show up on my account

i was have more my on my account $50:00 it never show up can you fix it only said $0.65 can you fix it

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Not sure what you mean by 'some one iTunes give card it never show up' - if somebody has sent you an iTunes gift by email then you've received the email and redeemed it onto your account ?
If you've redeemed a gift card onto your account and it's amount hasn't been added to your balance then have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in and seeing if your balance then updates ? If it doesn't, and you didn't owe iTunes any money and/or have any pre-orders/auto-renewing subscriptions that might have taken the amount, then you could contact iTunes Support and see if they can help with where it went : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Itunes 9 Genius mix(help)

Can you import your mix playlist to your ipod? if so how?

I have an iPhone 3G and an iPod Classic 120GB. The iPhone "Music" tab shows all my Genius Mixes. My iPod "Music" tab does not show them. If I'm thinking of them not as a 'static playlist,' then how is it syncing them to my iPhone, and telling me that they're too big to all fit? It must have, at the time it's synced, a static size and set of songs. And if that's the case, it should also work on my iPod Classic, since it's just a list of songs (that you're not allowed to see, for some reason).

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.

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?

Why are Genius Mixes now limited to 25 tracks?

I've owned my iPod Touch June 2010. I've got about 30 gigs of music on there, and until recently the Genius mixes never actually listed the songs that they contained, but it was great, it seemed like there were hundreds and it never played the same song twice.
What happens now is I can see the list of songs that are in the genius mix, but there are only 25 of them
I'd like the genius mixes like they were before, with lots of songs in them.
I've not changed any settings (that I'm aware of).
Any ideas why this may have changed?
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks very much for your help.
I thought this was related to me updating from iOS 4.1 to 4.3. In fact I've since gone back to 4.1 (due to problem with Last Skipped Date not working in 4.2 or 4.3), and now when I look at the song list (button top right) it shows the contents of the album from which each song is sourced, and I prefer it that way.
Best regards,
Phil

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 mix on my iPhone 4s - how do they work

The genius mix icon showed up on my 4s today.
When I click on it there is one mix.
How can I get more?
Whenever I touch the "mix" it starts playing.
Any advice appreciated.
Mark

Flip the Ring/Silent switch.

Why does't Apple do this: If you subscribe to iTunes Match, Genius is turned off.

Intuitively i wanted to be able to use iTunes Match & Genius Mix, what a great combo. However, If you subscribe to iTunes match, Genius Mix is turned off on my iPhone and iPad. The Genius icon at the bottom of the music app. is gone. I like iTunes Match only to find that using it takes away something I also really like ... Genius Mix... Why can't I have both!!!?

So, more info, if you have iTunes Match turned on, you won't have the option to turn Genius off, so that's probably what's happening. Here's an option that is reported to improve the situation, though maybe not solve it completely:
- In iTunes under the Store menu, choose SIGN OUT.
- Under the "Store" menu, turn Genius ON and let it sync. (you'll have to authenticate)
- Turn iTunes Match back ON. (you'll have to authenticate again.)

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.

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 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.
