  • How to turn on Genius in Itunes 10.6.1.7.

    The directions in Itunes help: "To turn on Genius, choose Store > Turn On Genius.   " are not usefull as there is no Genius referenced in the store except Genius Recommendations. I have an IPod Nano and IPad 2 that Genius doesn't work on and an IPod Touch that it does.

    In reply to Peter2300's problem of not being able to delete Genius Playlists on the ipdad.  I had this same problem on my ipad2 and my son's ipad mini.  In both our cases we had a number of extra Genius Playlists and most of these had no songs in them.  We couldn't delete them the normal way by just holding down on them until the little X appeared.  We both solved it the same way. On my iPad when I "tap" on the Genius playlist I want to delete, it switches to the screen showing the individual songs in the Genius list (even if it's just a blank playlist), and there is a "save" button near the upper right of the screen. I pressed the Save button and then hit the button on the upper left to return to the list of Playlists.  After doing this, the last Genius Playlist displayed could then be deleted the normal way by pressing on it and waiting for the X.  I had to repeat this process for each extra Genius playlist I wanted to get rid of (which was all of them b/c on mine they were all blanks).  I just repeated the process of viewing each playlist, saving it, going back to the list of Playlists and then deleting the one that appeared last on the screen.  So far these Genious Playlists have not returned.  Hope this helps.

  • How can I enable sidebar for iTunes 12?

    Is there any way to get the sidebar back, the one that showed everything I needed, the one I've been using for years? I can't find any way to enable it. Will the iTunes 13 just go ahead and use MS Office Ribbon?

    Select the Playlists view.

  • How to transfer/enable my entire itunes library on new iMac? Purchased also

    Songs from cds, songs i have downloaded from other suppliers & all my purchases from itunes store.
    Now i have searched for the answers already but havents found clear answers which make me think i can manage it or do it myself.
    I do not want to lose everything or even part of it. I have tried authorising my itunes library on other computers but in the case of my pc laptop, only 1 episode of a tv series came up when there where at least 2 or 3 entire seasons of other tv series purchased.
    So whats the most straightfoward way. Also will be looking to transfer pics & video clips from my camera etc. Should i buy a firewire & can it be used for transfering my itunes purchases also???

    OK. First you need to de-authorize the old computer: About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
    Next you need to copy your Music folder and some preference files to an external drive:
    /Home/Music/ folder
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder: transfer these preference files:
    com.apple.iTunes.app.plist
    com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    com.apple.iTunes.plist
    com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    Once you transfer all this to the new computer you will need to authorize the new computer per instructions in the above link.
    If you don't have an external drive, then you can perform the transfers via Target Disk Mode:
    Boot your old computer into TDM. After the TDM logo appears boot the new computer normally. Your old computer's hard drive should appear on the new computer's Desktop. You can then transfer the files by drag and drop.

  • In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store

    In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store. It would appear that I can only get Genius recommendations from my own library. This was easy in iTunes 10 and enabled me to find lots of good artists I had never heard of.

    I have this same question and all I have found on it is this,
    http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/genius_store.htm
    Basically it seams they got rid of the whole side bar concept of things to make it all more streamline, understandable but I know atleast for myself that genius sugestion for any song is how I found new artists and songs I never knew existed.
    If you go to the Album the go to "In the Store" it will give you a recomendation for that album... not exaclty what you might be looking for but atleast its something, if anyone else has a way to get genius sugestions for individual songs I am all ears and would love to hear about it.

    I have a verizon IPhone and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from the app to iTunes, my account doesn't have a ringtone section in the liRingtone Folder?brary, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

    Edit > Preferences.  Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes. 
    Not sure that really answers your question though.

  • How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

    Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums. How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

    No backup is a huge mistake.

  • How can I turn off genius in iTunes 10.5.3 (3)

    How can I turn off Genius in iTunes 10.5.3  under Lion 10.7.3 (other than disconnecting from the internet). It is no longer an option in the Store menu and although I can hide that playlist on the left through parental controls, the atom symbol is still present in the lower right of the window available to generate a list from a selected song. Thank you.

    I have the option to turn it off. What version of iTunes are you using? I have the latest iTunes. Have you tried signing out of the store?

  • How Do I Enable Closed Captions in iTunes 11?

    In iTunes 10 I had enabled Preferences>Playback>Show closed captioning when available. This check box has been removed from iTunes 11. How do I enable closed captioning in iTunes 11?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve  = : ^ )

    Thanks. This represents a change in conceptualisation from Apple. Previously, closed captions were part of Accessibilty and it was assumed that anyone usings captions would want them on 24/7. It still works this way on iOS devices. On the Apple TV, e.g., closed captions are enabled for the device, via Settings > General > Accessibility > Closed Captions + SDH. Once enabled, captions will be displayed for any content that has them.
    Subtitles on the other hand (and subtitles may be in the same language as the audio, they're not just 'foreign') must be enabled or disabled per item of content via the Subtitles menu, which is arrived at by holding the centre button on the remote.
    This was the way it used to work in iTunes also. Rolling the Closed Captions into the subtitles menu is new, though I guess it makes sense.

  • How do I enable scrubbing in the iTunes 11 mini player?

    How do I enable scrubbing in the iTunes 11 mini player?  I don't see a bar or any way to manually skip to the part of the song I wish to play.

    I did notice this: If you click on the album cover artwork squre, yet another window opens—a square, frameless window that shows a scrubber when you move your mouse over it. There's still no way to just glance at the window and see your current position within the track, though. You have to hover your mouse over that square window (which lacks an obvious name within iTunes).
