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.

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.

Why do I get constant Game Center notifications when I'm playing games? Seriously, if there isn't an easy way to turn off gamecenter, I'll be switching to a Microsoft phone at my next upgrade. I don't want this garbage popping up while I play my games.

What a worthless, obnoxious piece of junk. Apple, stop ignoring your customers!

How is Apple ignoring their customers, exactly? If you don't want Game Center, why did you sign into it?
Sign out, launch an enabled game. Game Center pops up, close it, launch the game again, it pops up, close it again.
Now it doesn't pop up any longer.
All as documented.

Airport Network: Is there an easier way to turn on my network?

Airport Network: Is there an easier way to turn on my network? I just bought an ipod touch and like to turn on my airport periodically from my iMac to update stuff from home. My network does not appear on the drop down list. I have to go to system preferences each time and select "sharing" then Internet Sharing and start my internet sharing. Then the arrow icon appears in the menu bar and all is well. Is there an easier/faster way to do this?
ps I tried the Airport discussions but no luck.

What the **** is your issue?
You show Leopard for ONE computer - I thought that possibly you were using the other one(s) after I posted and made no such assumptions on what OS it was running.
It's quite possible the other computers listed are running Tiger or other.
You have students?
You'd better teach them to not only pay attention, but to provide complete details, wise guy.
You're the kind of person that just ***** the fun out of trying to help.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

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?

Is there an easy way to eliminate duplicate tracks from iTunes on a mac?

All of a sudden I have over 6,500 duplicate tracks in my iTunes. Not entire albums but many tracks from an album are duplicated. Is there an easy way to get rid of these tracks or do I have to do this one by one? Also why would this be happening? I have "Keep iTunes Media Organized" checked as well as "Copy files to iTunes when adding to library".

It is hard to say why. iTunes is unlikely to do this all its own and there is probably something you did like add a folder that is not part of the current media collection thinking it needed adding, but it had already been added in the past.
There is no simple, universal panacea for duplicates. You can try some of the suggestions below.
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2905

Posts by turingtest2 about different types of duplicates and techniques- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3555601 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16042406 (Note: The DeDuper script is for Windows)
Frankly, I would do it manually. As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates and I would rather do it manually than discover that a script had removed my only copy of a file (yes, I have backups but I may not notice for a year or so a file is no longer there, by which time I would have overwritten the backup because I do not have drive space for storing a year's worth of weeky iTunes backups tens of GB in size).
I would also review how you add media to iTunes. It should not be producing all that many duplicates.

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.

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

Is there a global way to turn off restore features?

The restore features are quite problematic. Is there a way to turn this off globally? Every time I open Textmate, or Preview, etc with a new document, I get window(s) with previous documents. When I log back in, if I forgot to hit the logout-sabotaging check-box, all the previous applications re-open. It is driving up my blood pressure.
Is the a defaults command or something I can do?
I can't believe this kind of "feature" would be implemented without some sort of obvious preference control, but I have searched everywhere to no avail. Please help! Between this and the heavy resource consumption, I'm almost ready to do what I never in 10 years of using OS X would have considered: reinstlaling the previous version of the OS.

Thanks. I found the 10,000 other postings after I posted this (the new search utility auto-dumped me into a new post).
Two additional defaults commands I found turn off the remaining annoyances in Safari and Preview:
defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState -bool TRUE
defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState -bool TRUE
Now if I can find one to permanently uncheck that check-box you get on log-out, I will be (relatively) happy.

Is there an easier way to download previous purchases on itunes?

I have bought over 2000 songs from iTunes and was wondering if there was an easier way to download them onto my new computer other then going through each artist and hitting download. I would greatly appreciate any answer because as you can tell 2000+ songs is a couple hundred artists and I was hoping to find a faster way of doing this.

Yes you can press download all for the specific artist inside of purchase history but like I said in my issue there is still hundreds of artists and you can only do up to 3 artists (which can sometimes be 30 songs) at a time before it starts to lag. I am wondering if there is a universal download all area for all songs period in which I am yet to find and yes I went back and looked after your comment. If this is what you meant could you elaborate more because I must have misunderstood.

My friends like to lock me out of my iPhone by disabling it by getting my passcode wrong like 40 times so im locked out for a hour or so, I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the "disable" so I won't get locked out.

Please help!

iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - entering wrong codes results in progressively longer lockout times until device must be restored completely.

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"

The Voice recording app, is there an easy way to transfer the file to Itunes?

I have a very long file that was recorded in the Voice Recording App on my Iphone, and I am trying to upload it to my Itunes. How is this accomplished? Has anyone done this before?
Thanks

Hi Orcagirl24,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The answer to your question is in the iPhone User Guide on page 106.
I've included a link to the entire guide for you below, and highlighted what you are looking for.

Is there a way to turn off the 'nannying'?

Hi everyone,
I'm using the Safari Beta, and am very impressed. Particularly happy about URL auto-completion working properly, resizing text boxes, in line search and the performance. So far, no problems.
Is there though, a way to turn off all the "is this OK?" dialogue boxes? For example, when I click the red close button I am asked "Are you sure you want to close this window, you have entered text..." - well of course I want to close it, that's why I clicked it! Same when there are open tabs.
"Reset Safari" also has an extra step, but the new dialogue box has all options checked by default, so I just end up having to hit OK, whereas before Safari just 'did the right thing'. The final one I have run into is "Javascript is making this page load slowly, do you want to continue?". - If I thought it was too slow, I would click the back button and go somewhere else, if I am happy to wait, I will wait.
I think for some people, these will be welcome additions, for me however, I preferred the old Safari's attitude that just let me get on with the business of browsing, and wonder if there is a way to change it?
Cheers, everyone.
Rich

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

Is there a way to turn off/disable digital optical out? 1.9 iSight

I have an iMac 1.9 with iSight. No sound from speakers except the startup chime.
The digital optical out sound connecter is bad and the red light is on, and no it is not a matter of just getting the red light off... the connector is psychically broken as there is a little spring in the connector that came loose somehow.
So I was wondering if somehow if digital optical sound could be disabled thereby allowing regular sound work?
Thanks,
Bill...

Digital or analog output is determined by the connector inserted into your now-damaged socket. There is no way to 'turn off' digital output in such a manner that analog output will then be 'turned on.'
I'll check to determine if your logic board can be repaired at a reasonable price and post back. Apple's stock solution is to exchange the module, and in your case, this otherwise exchangeable part if covered by warranty or an AppleCare extension to it would not typically be covered, because of what would be construed to be 'user abuse.' Don't be offended: that's the official term. Not an indication that you intentionally damaged to component.
