IPad iTunes genius BUG

So, I clicked genius at iTunes music store app. I got message stating that I need to download favorites so that genius could recommendations. Fair enough, BUT I can't access music store main page anymore. There is no buttons visible anymore. I can click podcasts etc from below, but always clicking "music" brings this message.
Not to mention that "downloads" section has only text about agreements, informal message about " no active downloads" would be nice.

Been having the same problem. Read one of the above messages, it started for me too after clearing Safari history. Just figured it out (a workaround, anyway):
Open a program that will link you into the iTunes store, I used Shazam. Tag a song, then click the tab to 'purchase in itunes'. iTunes will open, you'll get your music selection window on top of iTunes (background may go grey for a moment). Close out the album or song selection, and all should be back to normal.

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,
Joe

How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

Hi RyanQuilty,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first step on your new computer is to install the latest version of iTunes:

Then follow the steps below to backup your iTunes library from the Windows XP computer to an external hard drive:

Before connecting your iPad to the new computer, I would suggest backing it up to iCloud, and changing your sync settings to "manual" on the new computer:

iCloud
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch inSettings > iCloud > Backup & Storage,
You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

HT204266 How can I change my iphone itunes ID to match my ipad itunes ID?

I need to have my iphone itunes ID match my ipad itunes ID. When I set up my iphone, my email was different than when I set up my ipad. Therefore, Do I need to use an email as the id or can I use something different so that they will match?

Settings/itunes & app store tap on ID you see there and log out then log in with other ID

How can I change my iPad iTunes email address to match my mac pro iTunes email address.

My iPad iTunes email address is different from my Mac pro iTunes email address. Tried changing my iPad meal address to match my Mac pro and said I could not.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are using different Apple IDs for each device, this implies that you have different accounts on each. Unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer content between them.
If all you wish to do is to use the account that you use on your MacBook Pro for your iPad, then you need to delete or sign out of your iTunes & app stores App on your iPad and then login again with your other account details. Obviously you will then no longer be able to use the purchases you have made from the account you have logged out of.

How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums. How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

No backup is a huge mistake.

I have tried for days to up-date iTunes genius with no luck at all... HELP!

Virtually all the music in my iTunes library is in sync with the iTunes Genius function, except for the *NEW* music that I installed 5 days ago.
There were no problems loading the music on to my computer and every one of those tracks play beautifully in iTunes.
The problem I have is when I go to up-date genius. ITunes gathers all the new information then transmits it to Apple. Then it says “Waiting for Apple to deliver your Genius results…” What happens then is, slowly, but surely Apple fills in the result info onto the time-line bar at the top of my screen until it fills completely. There it stays filled completely for HOURS, still those music files says “No Genius Suggestions”.
I have done this repeatedly for 4 DAYS, waiting for HOURS each time for Apple to up-date those tracks with no success.
Please, if you can I could use someone’s help…
My laptop is a Dell Precision M6400 and my OS is Windows Vista Ultimate (service pack 2). I have 4gig of RAM & my system type is 32-bit Operating System.
The iTunes version that I’m running is VERSION 12.1.1.4
Thank you for your time…

Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

Movies begin to download to my iPad. iTunes says it is processing but the download never finishes.

When I try to download a movie to my iPad, ITunes says it is processing, but it never finishes.

Hi jeotoole,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPad.
Then restart / reset the device.
When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If these two options don't resolve your issue, then see page 119 in the iPad User Guide to Reset All Settings
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.

ITunes Genius Unknown error 4010

I'm a bit tired of this issue which appears to be unresolved problem with iTunes Genius since September 2008. First my updates would get hung up on an iTunes error 4002. After seeing that the fix for this was to turn genius off and then back on, I started getting an Unknown error 4010. There seems to be no consistent fix for this and no word for Apple on what to do. Since the fixes seem so varied, I wonder if this is really an issue on the client end or is this a server issue?
I have deleted the .itdb files and that doesn't help - it just gets hung up longer before failing. Can someone provide an answer on how to fix (or whether or not it can be fixed).

Unfortunately Validator did not work for me.
It gave errors:
perl(13975) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3)
perl(13975) malloc: * error: can't allocate region
perl(13975) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

Out of memory!
Apparently it ran out of memory! I have 4GB. perhaps my .xml file is just too big (it is 273 MB). I tried an online xml validator, and it also chocked with a file this big. Maybe that is the problem apple is having as well.

How can i cancel a pre-order in ipad itunes please ?

How can i cancel a pre-order in ipad itunes please ?

The support document listed above from Apple gives directions for canceling a pre-order from iTunes on the computer, but not from the iPad. There must be a way to do this from the actual iPad, right? Anyone... anyone...Bueller?
