How Do You Disable Genius Data Syncing to iOS Devices?

- I''m using iTunes 10.7, iPad 2 and iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3, mid-2010 iMac with 10.8.2.
- I have iTunes Match tuned OFF
- I back up to the computer, not iCloud
- On the iTunes Summary tab, I have the "Sync only with checked songs and videos" selected
- On the Music tab I have the main Genius Mixes checkbox unchecked, and no mixes under that item checked
- I have Genius turned ON in my main iTunes
Every time I Sync either the iPhone or the iPad, the last thing it does is sync Genius data to the iOS device. Since my main iTunes library is fairlt large (over 12,000 songs), my main library Genius data changes a lot of songs sometime a few thousand if I haven't started iTunes on for a while on the computer. The Genius data sync takes a long time, and sometimes can add 10 minutes or more to an iOS device sync.
I don't understand why it's even sending Genius data to the iPad or iPhone. There are are no Genius playlists on either the iPAd or the iPhone when I open iTunes on them and look at Playlists.
Thanks in advance for any help

I have this question too. Is there an answer to this? I don't use the Genius function and this "syncing Genius data" step takes many additional minutes on every sync. Any information or advice would be gratefully accepted. Thank you!

How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?

How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8? It seems the update has killed this ability.

Are you in the "today" or "notifications" part of notification center?
Settings--notifications works for the notifications part but doesn't control the today part of notification center. For that you have to drag down notification center, tap on today, and choose edit from the bottom. From there you can turn off widgets, activate new ones, and change the display order.

How do you create an email alias using iOS device

I want to create an email alias, I have a MacBook and an iPhone but I can't figure out how to do it on either. As far as I can tell the only way I have been able to access the icloud mail preferences is through icloud.com however you can't access icloud.com on any iOS device. I've been trying to figure it out all day so would really appreciate any help

You should be able to access it from Safari on your MacBook, or another computer.
You can only access it on an iOS device if you use an altrenative browser like iCabMobile Web Browser, and set the Browser ID in the app's settings to Safari (Mac).

Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

If iOS 5 is pc free, how do you update genius playlists?

How do you update genius playlists without going to the computer and then wireless syncing?

Well, the problem is that I have smart playlists for every artist in my library (which is literally hundreds). With every live update turned on, every time I edit tags for a new single or something it'll scan all the smart playlists for matches. The reason I'd like to have smart playlists instead of regular playlists is that I tend to add a lot of singles, and, especially in the hip hop genre, they tend to have a lot of guest appearances so I'd like the smart playlists to do tehir job.....I'd just prefer to not have it set to live update so I can avoid delays during tagging.
Apparently this is a known side efffect of having many smart playlists in your itunes. I realize my way of working with them might be slightly unconventional in comparison to how they are typically used but it's great for me. If I could leave live update on without any performance degregation then I would but it seems I have to pick.
I read somewhere that if you shut down itunes and restart that it'll refresh all your smart playlists (if live update is turned off).

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.

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions?

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions into one MIDI region without using copy and paste functions in the piano roll editor?

Sorry - didn't make myself clear. The glue tool would be no good here. I meant that I wanted, for example, to merge the MIDI contents of two regions that are perhaps on different tracks but play back at the same time, i.e. I want to add the 2nd region's MIDI to the 1st region's MIDI, but without having to go into the piano roll editor and cut and paste the data.
