ITunes 9 and Genius (not working)

Greetings,
I have tried all of the suggestions (remove apple.com cookies from Safari; delete user>library>cookies; delete iTunes prefs; turn off and on Genius) and genius does still not work. I click on a song and then the genius button, after what appears to be a successful connection and response from apple, I get a dialog box that states:
Genius is not unavailable for the song "Ebony Eyes". Choosing Update Genius from the Store menu will update your Genius results. If, after updating, kTunes is still unable to identify this track, please choose another song or artist>
Numerous attempts to update Genius only results in the return of the same dialog box. I have tried many songs, including ones purchased from iTunes and well as ones I imported from purchased CDs.
Genius mixes shows mixes, but when I try to click on the play button, nothing happens.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I see that your Question has languished for some period of time without response. You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " Wireless " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

  • App store, safari, itunes store, and icloud not working osx 10.8

    Hey,
    I have a retina macbook pro 13" that i bought in january. It has been running perfectly fine until a few days ago the itunes store wouldnt load at all, no matter how long i let it load, only the 'Itunes Store" splashback page showed. I then also realised that the App store had similar problems, only it wasnt loading and returning an 'insecure connection' message. After searching a few forums and trying to solve the issues, it led me to test safari, which is also not working. The loading bar stops about an 8th of the way and doesnt load any further. Also imessages are no longer being pushed from my phone to my computer. This is not an issue with my internet or router, all other internet browsers work perfectly, and the problem persists when i disconnect from my home network and connect to a personal hotspot from my phone. There seems to be quite a bit of talk about this problem, but very little on a solution. i was hoping someone could help me maybe come up with a solution before i restore my macbook or take a trip to the apple store.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Try the Combo update from the Apple Support page - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640.
    Good luck,

  • Itunes 10 and Quicktime not working

    I have Windows Vista 64 bit and ever since iTunes 10 installed it will not launch. Neither will Quicktime. I've tried everything on the support pages but no success. Please help!

    Not sure if it will work for everyone but I had the same issue... couldn't get music to even go on my iphone nor play it on itunes... I read somewhere else that if you open quicktime (which i had a bugger of a time opening) just far enough to get to tools and options... go to the advanced tab and go to the audio settings... as soon as i did the error message popped up and it had me select the correct audio card and then everything worked like a charm again.

  • I share a mac computer with my wife. We both have our own log in. We got her iTunes match and it works fine. I log into my side and got iTunes match and its not working. HELP me

    I got imatch for her and it works fine. When I got imatch it does not work. is that because imatch wont allow the two accounts to come from one computer? if thats the case how do i get my money reimburesed?

    At this time iTunes Match cannot be used in more than one User Account in OS X. iTunes Match is associated to one Apple ID per computer MAC address.
    To request a refund you'll need to contact iTunes Store support directly.

  • Itunes Store and Help not working + Ipod not backing up

    Hey everyone,
    Its been like this for about a month or two...
    I click on itunes store and it opens but gets halfway and never loads any further. Ive tried everything you can imagine. Proxy servers, uninstall and install, etc.
    PLUS!
    My ipod touch isnt backing up. It too also gets half way then stops. Then when i try to sync it it does everything but backs up then at the end says "Itunes could not back up the ipod because a session could not be started with the ipod"
    so i went in and deleted all my backups till the most recent one, tried again and no luck.
    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!! :'(

    It will take a couple of days for the artwork to show up. However in you case the URL to your artwork or the filename may be wrong.
    You have a URL of http://www.hopecbc.org/imagefiles/podcast.png listed. I get a 404 error when I try to pull it up in a web browser. Same thing with the URLs to your MP3 files.
    Looking at your website and checking the resources page that lists the sermons for downloads the URL's look to actually have upper and lowercase letters in them, while the urls in your XML do not. Your server is case sensitive, so
    http://www.hopecbc.org/mp3files/sermons/hebrews/082607amgodfreyhebrews11.mp3
    which is in your XML is different from
    http://www.hopecbc.org/mp3Files/Sermons/Hebrews/082607amgodfreyhebrews11.mp3
    which seems to be the correct url.
    Correct them and it will probably work...

  • Had prepaid visa on my account and now want  to use Itunes card and will not work how do you delete visa card from my account

    please help how do you delete visa from my account? I put in Itunes card and it shows my 15.00 credit but cannot download tunes. What do I need to do? I think visa card is issue

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas?

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it.  It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work.  How can I expedite this process?

    I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it.  It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work.  How can I expedite this process?

    Has it been 24 hours?
    I take it this was a gift card.  iTunes Store:  Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
    I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
    If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement.

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Im trying to get my music from my external hard drive to my itunes and its not working. what should i do?

    i set up my moms new desktop mac a couple of weeks ago and i did the same thing i tried to do on my macbook but its not working, yet it worked on my moms mac. so i dont know what to do. i moved the file from the hard drive to the itunes folder. then went to itunes, file add to library and clicked on the folder but nothing happened. so i went back and moved the music folder to the automatically download to itunes folder and it didnt work. i even tried drap and dropping the folder directly into the itunes library. it went blue so i knew you could drop it in, but nothing happened. i dont understand how it worked on my moms mac but not mine.

    FIle>Add To Library. Select all the music on your external hard (Select all the artist folders) drive and hit OK. This will add all the music to your new Mac's iTunes library file.
    Good luck and good choice on moving to the Mac

  • I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
