How to make genius mix an actual playlist ...

...that I can put onto my Nano?

Depending on your issue, making an appoint will be offered as an option by choosing "Take in for Service" (see http://www.macrumors.com/2014/11/07/apple-genius-bar-online/). Of course, you could also just try calling your local Apple store.

I want to fix a Genius Mix as a playlist...How do I see track names in a Genius Mix?

I want to fix a Genius Mix as a Playlist. How do I see track names behind a Genius Mix icon?

I don't think you can. I was going to suggest that since you can sync a Genius Mix to a device you might read off the tracks from that, but it turns out the details are hidden there too.
As I understand it once a Genius Mix has been created it won't be altered, unless you delete a "mix" you don't care for in which case a replacement will be generated.
To capture the list in iTunes I guess you would have to leave the mix to play all the way through until it loops back on itself, then sort your Music in Last Played order and capture the results to a regular playlist.

How do you get an Ipod Classic to make Genius mixes using the songs you want?

My Ipod Classic is now about four years old. it's the grey, 160gb model. the hard drive doesn't click, so it's in stable, working condition, as far as I can tell, but lately, I've been having a few problems with it. first and foremost, it's stubbornly refusing to make Genius Playlists for me, using the songs I want. Secondly, it's not playing some songs. now, the second issue isn't new, and I've fixed it before, but that brings me to my third issue.
when opening Klondikes (because that's the only game I play on my ipod out of the three that come with it) the other day, it gave me an error message stating "game cannot be opened because ipod is full" or something like that. I have 160 gigabytes of storage, and all I have on there is music.
anyway, back to the Genius problem.
So I'll tell the Ipod to make a new Genius Mix from a selected song. in this case, I'll use Alestorm's "Keelhauled" for example. I made an edit of the song, decreasing the tempo, and drawing out the length of the song to 4:20. every single time, the ipod will use that instead of the original.
Say I use "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran (from The Hobbit, of course). the ipod uses the Kygo Remix I have.
Say I use "One Eight Zero" by Grendel. it uses the remix.
Say I use "The Sunk'n Norwegian", by Alestorm. the Ipod uses the Acoustic version.
Say I use "7 Days to the wolves", by Nightwish. it actually uses that song, and not the Instrumental version.
for "Whispers In The Dark", by Skillet, it doesn't use it, or the Instrumental version cause it can't find a match. (not a problem, just extraneous information.)
Say I use "We Can Make The World Stop" by The Glitch Mob. it uses a piano cover.
the trend I'm noticing here is that it only applies to songs with remixes. but as I have 1408 songs on my ipod, and need to be at work in an hour, I'm not going to look through everything to find every single instance of this.
the ID3 tags for these songs are correct.
Now, this is likely just a tagging issue, but the software should treat them as different songs. after all, most of them are stored in completely different blocks of memory. most of these are even different genres than the originals. and in the case of Keelhauled, because I exported the remix from Garageband, I'm listed as the Artist.
can someone please explain to me what's going on with my ipod, or give me some insight into what's going on under the hood?

A "classic" iPod is really a hard drive with a media player tacked on. Like any hard drive (including your computer's), it can develop data corruption. For example, maybe you mistakenly or accidentally disconnected it from the computer while it was syncing. Or you dropped it, while the iPod was trying to access its drive for song data. Or the hard drive can be getting worn out and unreliable.
The Restore will not fix the problem if the hard drive is becoming faulty. But if the data corruption was caused by something else, the Restore should fix it by erasing the hard drive to give it a "fresh start," like reformatting your computer's drive and reinstalling the OS.

Can I limit the number of songs in a genius mix (not a playlist)?

I would like to limit the number of songs in a Genius Mix (not a Genius playlist). Is this possible in any way, including on iPhone or iPad? If so, how?
I've seen some earlier answers, but they apply to earlier versions of iTunes. I'm using 10.2.2.

Some of us don't have a boatload of free space on our iPods, and limiting the number of songs in the Genius Mix would allow us to synch the lists to the iPod and carry them around.
You can already do this...
A Genius mix is limited to how many songs in the selected playlist fit the Genius mix profile.
A Genius playlist is limited to 25, 50, 75 or 100 songs.
A Genius playlist is a limited Genius mix.

How to work Genius Mixes?

Dear Apple Support People,
How do I work the Genius MIxes thing on iTunes? Help! Please help as soon as possible. I need the music to keep me up on my trian rides so I don't miss my stop. If you could back to me as soon as possible that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you sync genius playlists, you access them from the genius symbol which appears to the left of the playlists symbol in the iPod App's "dock".
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2978: "Genius mixes cannot be synced to your device manually. To sync Genius Mixes to your device, select the device in iTunes, click the Music tab, and select the Genius Mixes you wish to sync in the Playlists section."

How to control Genius Mixes???

Genius Mix created 6 different Christmas playlists for me. Um.. NOT what I would listen to on a daily basis.
Does anyone know how to specify the genre of the Genius Mixes generated by iTunes? Even based on a song or artist? Great idea, but it's not so intuitive (yet?)...

I was getting some weird behavior too. So, I went into each of my genres and added that genre to the grouping. Now, I don't know what the grouping is used for but when I turned off my genius and turned it back on, it seem to group most things better. The only problem I have is that when it compiled a Christmas mix it added some of Madonna to it, and a Soundtrack mix that has Christmas albums. So, I am still confused on how to better control the outcome.

How to make a Mix cd?

Looks like everyone has good info here. Im a DJ and I was wondering how or if i can make a Mix CD. So where people can skip the tracks if they don't want to listen to that specific track? Can I make like a 20 track CD? Let me know
Wolf

Wolfgang:
I hate to admit this but back in the old days when I used to spin and wanted to burn a nonstop CD with track breaks, I was forced to use a PC and a program (that I think Sony eventually took over) called "CD Architect."
I think unless people spin records and want to capture their set digitally, they have no idea of what you're talking about when you try to explain what type of CD you want to make. And depending on whether you want to set the marker as the overlay begins (think back to the spirals on vinyl that indicated the breaks, lol) or exactly at the point where the next song mixes in on the downbeat, you have the freedom to do as you choose.
I used to record 80 minutes and then take that software and insert track breaks and it would burn individual tracks to CD from within the program itself.
You could apply effects to the individual tracks or the master track as a whole and end up with a fully mastered Redbook CD with awesome quality.
I'm not sure GB is able to do this, but maybe it will be added as a feature in the future. Good luck!

How to configure Genius Mixes?

Plain and simple I was wondering if there was any way to tweak my Genius Mixes. I have a huge variety of music but it only seems to make a few (very strange) mixes that only cover very specific music. Ska music with Hardcore Punk? What? An "Old School Rap" mix with albums from 2012? What? Any help would be appreciated.

B-rock, the article you provided a link to had the following sentence:
Genius Mixes can only be synced automatically, so you won't be able to add Genius Mixes to your device if "Sync only checked songs and videos" is checked in the iTunes Summary pane. (emphasis added my me)
I have around 7-8 thousand songs in iTunes, and a 6th gen nano that will hold around half of that, so I sync only checked songs. That said, I have 11 Genius Mixes. Is that an error in the article?

How can I make a mixed audio/video playlist?

I would like to make a playlist of music videos. iTunes seems to consider "music videos" as a separate type than video files. The problem is that some of my music videos are detected by iTunes as formal "music videos" while others are detected as "movies". While I can add them all to the same playlist, I can only play the playlist as one of the two types, and it will ignore the files of the other type. For example, if I access the playlist through my music playlists on my iPhone, it will only play the music videos that iTunes thinks are actual "music videos" and will not play the ones that iTunes thinks are "movies". Same problem in the opposite direction if I play the playlist through the movie/video interface.
How can I get them all to play together? They are ALL videos, and all in the same format (.mp4), so I'm not sure why iTunes is so confused.

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

How to play genius mix through roku 2?

I have an ipod touch and a Roku 2xs that I have connected to a stereo. The Roku shows playlists I have made but does not show the genius playlists. How can I have the Roku recognize the genius playlists?

You could do this in more than one way. If you have a split keyboard, then both parts of the keyboard could be set to a different MIDI number. This makes it easy to assign one part to the organ & the other to the strings.
If you work without a split keyboard, you could set up some transformers to filter the incoming note pitches. e.g. transformer A would select notes below a given pitch and remove all other pitches. Transformer B would select notes above a given pitch & also remove all other pitches.
One possible cable layout for this:
a new instrument [dummy, for routing & selection purposes only]
from Click & Ports window, make a connection to this new instrument
connect instrument to transformer A
connect instrument to transformer B
set up conditions in both transformers; make sure that they are set to 'Apply operation filter non-matching events'
connect each transformer to its synth fader.
You should be able to click on the new instrument in the Arrange window and play on both the string & the organ without having to select them individually.

How to make sub-categories in iTunes playlists

I have many playlists for separating certain types of music, like most people do. I was wondering if there is a way to place sub-categories in playlists already made. For example:
iTunes>Playlists>Recently Added>10 Most Recently Added>5 Most Recently Added.
I would like to be able to view/listen to the originated playlist; i.e. "Recently Added" which contains all the sub-playlists; i.e. "10 Most Recently Added" and "5 Most Recently Added" but also be able to access the sub-playlists within the original playlist and listen to solely the songs within the sub-category.
Basically, is there a way to put a playlist within a playlist without having to use and edit auto-updating smart playlists manually?

You can't make a playlist inside a playlist. You can nest playlists inside of folders and if you click on the folder it will show a summation of all the playlists contained in it.

How to make close last tab actually open SuperStart rather then closing Firefox?

Is there a way to make Firefox (or SuperStart) NOT close Firefox when the last tab is closed? I'd prefer for it to act like Opera in that it would make the SuperStart tab page appear instead. This way I have to choose to close Firefox by actually closing Firefox (such as clcking the red "x" in the corner of Firefox, etc).
Just because I don't want the last tab open does NOT mean I want to close my browser.
As a result of this current behavior, when I reopen Firefox I end up with that last tab showing up again, which of course I don't want either.

Also make SuperStart your home page.
