How do you create a new Genius Mix

Somehow I have ended up with one Genius Mix. It is labeled "Classical Mix". It appeared without my intervention. Can someone tell me how to create additional Genius Mixes?

Jim -- thanks. I tried your suggestions, but I seem to be stuck with the one mix (the same one).
I don't have a real extensive library of albums, but I do have a fair number of individual songs and few if any of these unchecked. The one mix I have is based on four albums and "others". I am not sure what "others" means, but I do have those four complete albums in the library. Maybe that's the key.

  • 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 does 3.1's new "Genius Mix" differ from a Genius Playlist?

    Hey guys I still haven't updated to 3.1 because of all the complaints and issues associated with it, but I was curious about one feature I'm missing out on... How does the new Genius Mix any different than an automated Genius Playlist that is made when you turn on Genius on your iPhone???
    Genius just collects up to 25 songs by different artists in the same genre... What does Genius Mix do differently?
    Thanks to anybody who answers me... I'm just curious, that's all.

    Genius mixes are created in iTunes 9. It's like Genius, but different. Genius mixes come automatically.
    "This new feature searches your iTunes library, finds songs that go great together, and creates multiple mixes you’ll love. All automatically. These mixes are like channels programmed entirely with your music. You may discover songs you never knew you had — and rediscover forgotten favorites."
    iTunes will create up to 12 Genius mixes, like Rock Mix 1, Rock Mix 2, Oldies Mix, Alternative
    Mix, etc. These are like radio stations created from your own music. The songs in the mix can't can't be listed.
    Go here and scroll down to Genius Mix. http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-new/

  • How do you create a new account for a family member?

    My daughter and I both have Ipods, and want to setup SEPARATE accounts. Itunes 7 worked great, but now when we 'upgraded' to 8, it MERGED all our files. So I thought I had a separate account, but it turns out when I load a new song, it goes into HER Itunes files. She deleted all my info, and I REALLY want a separate account (that sticks).
    My songs are still in my directory under "Mikes Itunes", but when I reloaded them into what I thought was a fresh entry, it turns out it went into my daughter's Itunes file too! What is up with Itunes 8? and how can you create a TRUE separate account so I have control over MY songs!?

    First, let's make it easier to swap between accounts. In the Accounts pane of System Preferences click on the Login Options (after unlocking the pane). Enable fast user switching. This will put a new menu in the top right of the screen. You can then swap to the other account without having to log out of the current one.
    Log into the original account. Select the folder you want access from the other account and choose Get Info from the file menu. There is a section called Sharing & Permissions. You will need to click on the padlock to make changes. Click on the + to add permissions for the other user account by selecting the user account from list that appears. Set the permission for that account to read only. Once you have it listed then choose the "Apply to enclosed items" from the gear menu below the list. This should give you access from the other account to that folder and any folders contained in it.
    For iTunes you will want to do this to the Music folder, giving you access to the files below. From within iTunes you can select Add to Library from the file menu, and then select the music from the other account to that account's iTunes library. Once you have set up the new library whoever's library is the original can clean up the library to remove any music they don't want (now that it's in the new account).

  • How do you create a new OneNote notebook and/or cr...

    I have a Lumia 800 and I was wondering how to manage certain files in Microsoft Office better.
    The whole Microsoft Office in a phone experience is quite new to me and I was wondering how I can create a new notebook in my Lumia 800's OneNote, rename page sections like the one under the default "Personal" notebook that is defaultly named "Unfiled Notes", and I was also wondering how to create more of these page sections on my phone.
    I've tried searching "Lumia 800 OneNote how to create notebook" on Google but has failed on finding any site that shows relevance to my question.
    If someone could just give me tips or tricks on how to use these kind of apps, I would be very grateful.

    If css style panel is missing then you can reset your designer.  In CS6 the process was:
    Windows >> Workspace Layout >> Reset Designer
    See this picture:
    Now to create a new style should be easy.  Just see this picture:
    I don't use CC so I don't know if the process is still the same.
    Good luck.

  • In Address Book, how do you create a new group under "On my Mac", not under "iCloud"?

    In Address Book there are groups under "On my Mac" and groups under "iCloud".  When I do File -> "Create new group", the new group always goes under "iCloud".  How can I make a new group to go under "On my Mac".  I also tried dragging the new group from the iCloud area to the "On my Mac" area, but that doesn't do it.  Address Book is version 6.1.3.  Thanks for your help.

    Maybe look in the Preferences > Accounts & disable the iCloud account? That should force it to create a local group then re-enable the iCloud account. I would use the 'File > Export… Addressbook archive' to make a backup before you begin, but it should be fine.
    I'm not sure 10.6.8 supported iCloud natively, so perhaps that is why it is being wierd?
