Itunes 9 Genius mix(help)

Can you import your mix playlist to your ipod? if so how?

I have an iPhone 3G and an iPod Classic 120GB. The iPhone "Music" tab shows all my Genius Mixes. My iPod "Music" tab does not show them. If I'm thinking of them not as a 'static playlist,' then how is it syncing them to my iPhone, and telling me that they're too big to all fit? It must have, at the time it's synced, a static size and set of songs. And if that's the case, it should also work on my iPod Classic, since it's just a list of songs (that you're not allowed to see, for some reason).

    Hello,

    thx

    Can you run Update Genius?
    This looks similar to my problem (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/22875572#22875572), I also have/had TuneUp installed though I found it didn't really affect anything since iTunes also crashes with the program cleanly removed.

  • How can I increase the limit of iTunes Genius Mixes?

    How come my macbook is limited to 6 Genius Mixes, while I've seen screenshots of people having about 12 mixes available? is there anything I can do to increase the limit?

    Twelve is normal. You might try turning Genius off and back on to refresh it and see if it will then give you more. If you have content only from a very few genres, though, it's possible it can't find enough variety to generate more than six. Or if you have a lot of unusual tracks, particularly ones not sold in the iTunes Store, there may not be Genius data available on which iTunes can base a mix.
    Regards.

  • ITunes genius mix doesn't work properly

    Hi everybody,
    On my late 2006 iMac with iTunes10 Genius Mix doesn't work properly.
    After having activated Genius iTunes generates a number of mixes with different music styles.
    When I scroll over the squares the play sign shows up, but only work for 1 of the 9 mixes when I click the play sign.
    Clicking on the other play signs in the other squares does not do anything.
    Does anybody know what is wrong here?
    Thanks!
    PT

    I now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
    Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way?

  • Itunes genius mixes

    Hi, recently switched to itunes 11 on my win7 64 bit system, and have mixed feelings about changes. However, the biggest issue to me is the elimination of genius mixes. I always enjoyed the rather random selections that would come up, and listening to the mixes was (usually)like enjoying a good radio station. That functionality appears to be gone. Have been reading the forums and there appears to be a workaround that involves several non-intuative steps, but can anyone explain why apple would break a function that many enjoyed?  thx!

    Dont worry mate I know what you're asking
    Unfortunately if you start a genius mix there's no way to save it. That said, you can save a genius mix that's pretty close to it
    Highlight whichever song it is that started the mix, (in my case it was Megadeth's Skin of My Teeth) and you know the circle that appears with the arrow pointing right? Click that, then click Create Genius Playlist.
    It'll save the playlist underneath Genius, and come pretty close to the mix you liked
    Can't say anymore tha that to be honest, you can't save the exact list, but you could always do this and then mess about until it's as close as you can make it

  • Genius mix in itunes doesn't exist for me

    I dont see the "genius mix" option as stated in the help documentation in iTunes"
    Play a Genius Mix
      Choose Music from the Library pop-up menu, and click Playlists.
      Click Genius Mixes.
      To start playing a Genius Mix, move the pointer over the mix you want to play and click .
    I do not have any genius mix options to choose.  How can i get this back? I used to have it in pervious versions of iTunes.
    Yes , genius is turned on, Is updated, and  I can make my own genius mixes from individual songs, but the iTunes Genius mixes are not showing up. The ones it makes for you based on your music library.

    I have been having same problem. Last week I uninstalled itunes and quicktime and then installed standalone QT and then itunes. iTunes worked for one day. Then tonight I tried to open itunes and back to the same problem, itunes will not open. QuickTime will open and run alone but no itunes. I have worked on this for several days now. So any new ideas would be great.

  • What are Genius Mixes supposed to do?

    I understand how the Genius Sidebar on the righthand side of iTunes recommends tunes. I understand that if in the lefthand I click Genius Mixes, I get some boxes with album cover art, organized into genres, and there's a play arrow in the middle of them when they're hovered over. But if I click the arrow, nothing happens. Is the idea that iTunes is supposed to play some music it picked from that genre? I'm not getting anything in response to clicking, though. Clicking "Update Genius" doesn't change things so that anything plays. Am I missing something?

    Apple Helper - PaulDW was asking why his Genius Mixes didn't work (in spite of his subject line). He knew what was supposed to happen, but was pointing out that his wasn't working at all.
    For some reason, iTunes all of a sudden may need to have all of its songs check-marked for Genius Mixes to work; at least that was my and others' most recent experiences. We never used to have to do that.
    Also - my iTunes Genius Mixes show 12 mixes - not 4 as you point out. Maybe you don't have as many songs stored? If not, I'm not sure why that significant difference would occur.
    Finally - you referred to Genius Playlists that are created manually. Are you referring to regular (as opposed to 'Smart') Playlists? I'm not familiar with manually created Genius mixes (creating them manually would defeat the purpose and terminology of 'Genius' mix).
    Sorry. I was a bit confused by your post.

  • Where is the Genius Mix download button in IOS 7 Music app?

    In the IOS 7 Music app there is no longer a download button to get your Itunes Genius mixes downloaded to your phone.  What's up with that?  Is there another way to do it?  There used to be a button at the top left to download the Genius mix from your itunes Match.  Now it's absent.  Not really into streaming music when I'm not on Wifi because I'm on a 2GB plan.  Any insight? Thanks!

    Plus, since my alarm clock app uses the functionality of the music player, I can no longer tell the app to randomly play from a certain playlist. I have to add the songs individually there. No "add all songs" on the phone.
    What a pain.

  • Genius Mix on iPod

    ok, you can sync your iTunes Genius Mixes onto your iPod.
    but is there a way to have Genius Mix built on the song that are actually on the iPod?
    I have way too much songs in my iTunes library to sync any of its iTunes Genius Mixes. but I will be pleased if this new feautre can built up its mixes from the songs currently synced on the iPod.

    I understand that this isn't a feature. genius mixes are like playlist and can only be generated from iTunes library and then synced to the ipod.
    This feature would have been great to allow genius mixes to be generated from the song that are on the ipod.

  • Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9

    I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
    when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
    I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
    I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
    Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
    Thank you,
    Mrs Trisha Foster

    Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
    I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
    For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
    PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
    Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
    Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
    split
    public String[] split(String regex)
    Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.  This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
    Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

  • [Help] itunes 9 genius mixes never show up

    I just downloaded the new itunes 9. I love the geographic layout of the genius mixes and want to try it out. But it never show up. This is what I did.
    1. enable the genius.
    2. right click a song in my library and choose start genius.
    3. after updating, a playlist with 25 songs show up, but the genius mixes don't.
    I browsed the trouble shooting for this problem. Most of them can be solved by "store-> update genius" and "turn off genius and turn it back on". I tried both approaches and neither of them work for my situation.
    Is there any way to solve this problem? I wonder what is wrong here.. Many thanks.

    I did the Store->Update Genius.. the feedback is
    Your genius results have been updated.
    To make a Genius playlist, select a song in your library and click the genius button at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    no error showed up. And I did create a playlist using Genius. But the Mixes didn't show up anyway..

  • ITunes 9 genius mix missing?

    I installed iTunes 9, and everything is fine; my playlists, music, etc, is all there. However, the genius mix app thing is not showing up. Everything has been upgraded, even the format of iTunes, but the genius mix isn't coming up. How do I get it?

    Hey Jersey
    After you finished the iTunes 9 update did you update your Genius account (Store - Update Genius). Until you do this Genius Mixes won't display.
    Hope this helps.

  • Genius mixes not working with iTunes 9

    The iTunes 9 video says to create a Genius mix, you click on Genius and then turn it on. It then says you'll need to log on to your iTunes account to get started.
    Well, there are already two playlists underneath the Genius icon in my sidebar. When I click on the Genius icon, I don't see anything about turning on Genius Mixes. I just see the list of songs for one of my playlists.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I no longer have access to Genius Mixes. It was working about 4 days ago, then after coming home from work 3 days ago, I click Mixes and get a blank white page. I have not been able to get it to work. In fact, I no longer have a Mixes bar and help does not have anything. Nothing (I've read 12 forums, over 3200 posts) works. I'm reinstalling but, I'm not optimistic. Oh it broke on my iPhone 4 as well. No option for Genius MIxes.

  • My Genius mixes is not working. Need help here. please...

    I did reinstall my itunes 5 times and updated my Genius mixes many times as i could and yet the result is the same. i cant have my Genius mixes. Does anyone know how to fix this? please help. Thanks

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. See if better. If not, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If not you may need to replace the LCD Display or the iPhone may be beyond repair and you need a new phone.
