HT2978 how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

What you are saying is true but it will not always work. The aap store is dead. Wen I go to the fret urged page I see a white screen. I should be able to scroll down to the bottom and select View Apple ID but can't. This is on my wife's iPad and she thought after she upgraded to iOS 6.0 when it prompted her to turn on Genius that's what caused the trouble and she wanted to turn off Genius. NO CAN DO in App Store.
To turn off Genius I had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID xxxxx then click view Apple ID then I can turn Genius off and on.
But the did not fix the problem with the App Store which is still dead.

HT2978 How do you turn off genius

HELP!!! I have tried several times to turn OFF Genius in the App Store but it is not working. I even tried to turn off all location services and then do a soft reset. Genius is still running! Arrgh

From this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2978, to turn off Genius:
You can turn off Genius for Apps from the Account page in the App Store. To get to the Account page, scroll to the bottom of the App Store screen and tap the button with your account name on it. Once you turn off Genius for Apps, the App Store will no longer send information about the apps on your device to Apple. If you used Genius for Apps on more than one device, you must turn off Genius for Apps from each device.

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 turn off Genius permanently?

I'm using the latest iTunes and iOS 5x on my iPad2 and iPhone 4S. How do I turn off Genius permanently? I don't want Apple to bother combing through my library and making music recommendations. I don't really care what they think I might like to listen to and it's creepy to me to think they monitor my library in order to update Genius. I searched on this topic and two years ago the solution was to go to Store / Turn Off Genius but that is not an option in the latest version of iTunes. Please don't tell me to turn off the Genius sidebar, I already did that. Thanks.

This is the most correct answer, thanks. So I turned off iTunes Match and I got a dialog saying deleting Genius results or something like that. And I get the option to Turn On Genius which of course I don't do. But if I then turn iTunes Match back on, there is no option to turn Genius off. There are only options to Turn Off iTunes Match, Update iTunes Match, or Update Genius. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if I now want to update iTunes match, today or in the future, Genius will update as well and I'll be right back where I started from. It seems as though using iTunes Match gives Apple license to deliver Genius results as well, without an opportunity to opt out.
This bugs me because even though I know by using iTunes Match Apple knows what's in my library (I bought the vast majority on iTunes anyway), Genius knows what I've been playing and perhaps how I've rated those songs as well. I just don't think that's any of Apples business unless I approve in order to get recommendations from Genius.

How can I turn off genius on my iphone?

HT2978 I need to turn off genius for apps. I do not have any apps stored as I just got my phone and I can't scroll down to access the acct info.

I just bought the Iphone 5. I turned on Genius for apps and now can't get out of it. I do not have any apps stored and I can not access the account info to disable it. How can I access the account info or turn off Genius another way?

If you have an iPhone 3GS, you can upgrade it to the latest version of iOS, 6.0.1, so any app that doesn't require a newer model of iPhone (as some apps do) should run. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
As long as your iPhone remains activated, upgrading iOS should not be a problem. You will need a valid SIM from the UK carrier, though having a contract with them or unlocking the iPhone will not be necessary as long as you just want to use the iPhone as an iPod touch.
Regards.

How can I turn off Genius on itunes?

Any ideas? "Turn Off Genius" is obviously NOT an option!

How do I turn off genius??

I've tried everything and searched everywhere & there is no turn off option; even when iTunes match is off and it is so. bloody. frustraiting.

Maybe: (from Users Guide)
Note: Once a Genius playlist is synced to iTunes, you can’t delete it directly from iPod touch. Use iTunes to edit the playlist name, stop syncing, or delete the playlist.

HT2978 how do you turn off the terms and conditions of genius on the iPhone

I also have this same issue, I can't leave the page by exiting and check out the App Store nor continue with the Terms and Conditions of the Genius for Apps.

How do I turn off genius in iTunes 10.6.1.7? There is no "Turn Off Genius" in the Store menu only "Update Genius"

I cannot get rid of Genius or Genius Mixes and I want it off of my iPad 2 as well. Thank you.

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 do I turn off Genius on Apple TV? I would also like to clear.
How do I turn off and clear genius on second generation apple tv?

I don't think you can, but you can check the settings. There is nothing forcing you to use the feature in any case.
Not sure what you mean by 'I would also like to clear'

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this. I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether. I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed. For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

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.
