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 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?

    Every time I try to turn on Genius in iTunes, iTunes get shut down - I'm using a Windows 7 pc with iTunes 10.5.1.
    It started after I bought a new PC, everything worked fine at the old one.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

    Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • How to turn off Genius??

    How do I turn off this Genius thing? I have had the iPhone 3G for several months and no problems. No I select an artist and album. The first song plays, no problem. Then the next song is some other artist on another album. It appears to have generated a Genius play list and when I select the album it goes to the play list. Specifically I select a Neil Young album the next song is Springsteen. Looking at the list there is a list of 2 songs that includes Young, Springsteen, Crocker, and others. I appear not to have the problem when selecting other artists.

    Based on the info provided with this link, there doesn't appear to be a way yo disable the Genius feature on the iPhone after it is enabled. Since this won't be enabled on the iPhone unless it is enabled with iTunes, you can try disabling Genius with iTunes followed by a sync.

  • How to turn on genius on itouch

    how do u turn the genus on ipod touch

    To turn on the genius feature on your Itouch, you have to connect your iPod to your computer... Then open iTunes on your mac/windows computer and on the top part of the iTunes next to the help button, it should be an option to turn on genius feature.
    But the genius feature has it's flaws, I would recommend a better solution than the genius thing on the iPod. On the app store there is an application called" moodagent" it basically does the same function but even more improved than apple genius thing. Give it a try and you will see it's better....

  • Is there an easy way to turn off Genius in itunes 10.6.1?

    I have Genius playlists on my ipad2 that I do not want. I would like to get rid of all Genius suggestions and have viewed many suggestions; one being to go to the store tab and click turn off genius. This option is not available it only gives the option 'Update Genius'. I recently joined itunes Match and this seems to automatically think that you want to have Genius. Can someone help me in gettng rid of Genius. Thanks in advance.

  • Turning Off Genius in iTunes 10.4

    How does one turn off the "Genius" when the Turn Off Genius is greyed out in the Store Menu.  I have 42,000+ tunes & I don't think it will finish whatever it is doing for the next couple of hours.
    Thanks for all of your help.

  • I can't turn on Genius in iTunes 11.0.1

    I had Genius working in my iTunes Library with no problems.   I turned it off, thinking it would free up "other" space on my iPad.
    It didn't.
    When I try to turn Genius on again in my iTunes Library, it asks for my Apple ID - which is already showing.   I click "turn on Genius" and keep getting back the window that says "You must complete the entire form".   Well, the only thing to complete is my Apple ID, which I've done.   Nothing else to complete.
    So now it won't turn on Genius for me.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem that the person who started the thread is having. iTunes 11 is horribly broken on many levels. I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 10 until they figure out what they are doing. @Barrie Newcombe - I'm sure many people run the software without this particular problem. I don't think Apple would release software that never worked for anybody. Those of us who are experiencing the problem are looking for information regarding the problem we are experiencing.

  • How to turn off Genius on iPod touch

    I  want to turn off Genius on my iPod touch.  I have already turned it off on my iTunes (in my PC), but it is still
    shoing Genius playlists om my iPod.

    Thank you.  I did sync my iPod with iTunes but the Genius Mixes (at Genius prompt) and a Genius playlist
    (under Playlists) still appear on my iPod.  Insanely, I had previously unchecked Genius In my Account
    settings.   I also shut down and restarted my iPod and my Laptop.  Is it possible the Genius is no longer
    active but downloaded stuff is still in the iPod,  like when you turn off Match?   R
