ITunes 11 on a PC - where is Genius and how to use it in this version?

I'm on a PC and using iTunes 11, and cannot find the bottom right hand show/hide genius toggle. There is no checkbox on PC for "enable genius" in preferences (as some on the Mac forums point out.) I'm trying to get Genius suggestions based on my songs.to discover and purchase. Apple what have you done??!? Any help appreciated.

hi dominic.
thanks for the help and the links.
there is something terribly lacking in mac UI with respect to this unless i am missing something. if i do a search in Spotlight i see results and even when i see the file i want to know something about i have to OPEN FINDER which shows a ton of results (including hundreds if not thousands of eml file that i have to call mac and probably pay to find out why they are still showing up when prefs in Spotlight say to not show them...)  and only then can i actively select the file and have it show a file path at the bottom of the finder window.
this is maddening. isn't there an option to show this information in Spotlight or to show this information WHEN THE FILE IS OPEN (apologies for the caps). i mean, if i have a file open, maybe i don't know /where/ it came from for some reason.
for instance, if i am in a hurry and i open the file directly from Spotlight i can edit it and save it but i still have no idea where it resides on my hard drive. similarly if i open a file directly from spotlight and DUPLICATE a file and i want to save it as Version 2 - i have to - - - - well i guess i have to run another search for the file i just opened and am working upon in order to just save the dang file to the same location the original is in?
i mean, the links are showing that i should open Get Info but i think i need to see the file in finder to run this command anyway since i have to right click on the file itself.
maybe i am missing something but can't MAC OS just show me the FILE PATH at the top of the document like it does in Finder and also show me the FILE PATH in Spotlight? seems like the current implementation is like a big game of hopscotch for no good reason except the information is not shown to the (power) user.
maybe i am missing a new feature in ML or in Mavericks or maybe i am using the wrong terms in the original title?
THANK YOU

I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.

  • Where to locate and how to use the filter thershould to binarized image

    Good morning friends. I am using
    Labview with VDM and let me know where to locate and how to use the
    filter thershould. Also that parameters used to binarized image captured
    via webcam and display it in black and white.
    Thank you very
    much.

    Is the image that you are getting a RGB one? Use color plane extraction and then use a binary threshold to convert it into a binary image. You can also directly use a color threshold and convert a rgb (color) image to a binary image.

  • I'm using my iPod classic as hard drive to transfer the music to my reinstalled computer but the file "iTunes" is missing. Where is it and how can I get it back?

    I had a virus on my Windows Vista PC so I had to reinstall the whole system. With this I also got an upgrade to Windows 7. Now I want to use the iPod classic to put the music back on the PC. According to the explanations on Apple support you have to drag the iTunes file on the iPod to the My Music file. Unfortunately there is no iTunes file on the iPod. It does work fine though and I can listen to all the music. I have to say that before I deleted the hard drive fro the PC I forgot to switch the iPod to manual sync. It was psooible though to do that with the new installed iTunes without erasing the music on the iPod. Can anybody help? I really wouldn't like to loose the countings and playlists.
    Thank you

  • HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

    A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

    It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

    They will only be where you put them.  They do not magically appear in new places.
    Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

  • Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy certain apps thru iTunes. I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this. Thanks

    Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this? Thanks

    If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
    And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

  • I am a new Mac user and I bought Pages and have no Idea where it is or how to use it?

    I am a new Mac user and I bought the Pages APP and have no Idea where it is or how to use it? If I go into Iwork and click Pages it shows 3 documents that I have creates. THe only option I have is to download it. Then If I click it it opend in an app called Preview.
    It is in me apps folder in Itunes. I expected it to be an app in my computer.

    Pages for IOS and Pages for OSX are 2 different programs, buying one doesn't get you the other, go to the App Store (not iTunes) on your Mac and buy it.

    No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

    whats a green drive? thnks
    Green is a marketing term for a drive designed for lower power use, lower noise, and lower heat. The side effect is that it's not as fast. Black drives are designed for highest performance, so they might use more power and run hotter and noisier. I upgraded my Apple Time Capsule with a green drive, but I put a black drive in my Mac Pro.

    7200 RPM drives are faster than 5400 RPM drives.
    As in cars, RPM is not the sole determinant of performance. In some cases, a newer drive at a lower RPM is faster than an older drive at a higher RPM, when the newer drive uses better technology. I have heard that some of today's high-capacity 5400RPM drives are faster than 7200RPM drives of lower capacity simply because the very high density of a 1TB drive means more data passes under the head even at a lower RPM. Certainly there have been times in Apple's past when new lower RPM drives were faster than higher RPM drives of the previous generation, a notable example being when 4200RPM perpendicular recording drives were introduced and beat 5400RPM drives.
    Yes, generally RPM can be used to compare, but it is important to realize it isn't always true.

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.
