ITunes 9 Genius not updating - iTunes Store Error

Using iTunes 9, I am trying to update my Genius so that I can have the Genius Mixes however it seems to always be stuck on "Sending information to Apple…". I've let it run for 3 hours with no success and twice have had it say the there is an error with the iTunes Store. It doesn't seem to be sending anything as there is no bandwidth use.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?
*Fixed*
Following the instructions on post #12 of this thread http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=8454874
I was able to fix it.

"**** it! That was a tough cookie to crack!
Cookies!! Quit iTunes then go to your /user/library folder and move the Cookies folder to the desktop or delete it.
Turn on Genius. It works!
There must be some weird setting saved in cookies with an incorrect URL to send the info to Apple."

  • ITunes match not updating on devices

    Help. Please.
    itunes match not updating. iTunes on computer has appropriate songs/ albums. But on iPhone and ipad changes do not appear. I have tried holding down shift key when turning off iTunes Match, signing out of iTunes Store, then quitting itunes. I then start itunes, sign into store, then turn on iTunes match and it goes through lengthy scanning, hours, and I am left with the matching page showing the three stages of iTunes Match greyed out, with a button offering me to start it again. Re
    i have repeated this process several times, switching off iTunes Match on devices before starting iTunes Match on compute - same problem. I have changed albums while iTunes Match is on, as recommended by apple's webpage.
    please advise on how to update iTunes match so this change on computer also happens on devices. Thank you in advance

    Dear Jim
    thank you so much. Thank you for your quick reply, sorry I did not respond sooner, but  I wanted to make sure it worked before replying, hence I had to wait for iTunes Match to do its thing.
    You are are a genius Jim, so a big thank you.
    So in a nutshell for all, Jim's solution works for those who have gone over their 25,000 limit by mistake, and are unable to update match, you can with Jim's solution, delete stuff in the iTunes Match cloud and in effect have your original iTunes Match library as you want it.
    Thank you Jim

    The search bar can be very valuable...........
    In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad?  If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........

    Please, help
    When I update my phone show me this letter: ITunes could not update this iPhone because of an unknown error occurrence (24)

    I don't think that's an iTunes error code; sounds like a Windows one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123
    I would remove iTunes and all its components completely, reinstall, and try again. Try on another computer if you can also.

  • Itunes is not updating my podcast. its been 3 weeks now

    for some reason itunes is not updating my podcast.
    I have made changes to the feed and those changes do not show up when i view in itunes.
    my feed is located at http://freemillionairebook.com/mikelitman_podcast.xml
    as you can see there is a description for the show on the feed but when i view it in itunes it do not show any description for the episode.
    its been 3 weeks now. I have verified the feed and it do not show any errors.
    This is how itunes show it
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mike-litman-show/id525820910
    I also tried to add new episodes to the feed and they also do not show up on itunes.
    Can you tell my why this is happening.
    Thanks,
    Ali

    Although on subscribing iTunes is showing the contents of the 'description' tag (I thought it wasn't before. but I could be wrong) the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags are still empty. If you've made the changes, have you uploaded the changed feed?
    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
    You mention 'new episodes' but there is only one episode in the feed.

  • Itunes will not update.  I get an message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will not install, itunes will not update.  I get an message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will not install

    iTunes will not update.  I get an error message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will be unable to install.

    Yeah me too try going through the apple website in (firefox) and download iTunes there. Currently that's what I'm doing.

    My itunes will not update.  I get a message that is saying that MSVCR80.II Is missing from your computer,   Try reinstalling to fix this problem.  So when i tried to reinstall, it says itunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall error 7 (windows err 126)  Then when i tried to reinstall i get this....Service applemovile device failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient priveledges to start service...the I see  abort, retry and ignore....when I hit retry, it sill fails and i get the same message again.  How do I fix it?  Will I lose all my music if I delete it all and reinstall itunes?  I haven't tried that yet.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • ITunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone

    When I try to download and install the new carrier settings file, I get the message "iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." (I got a similar message when I tried to download and install the OS update.)
    I've been able to work around the problem by creating a different user and installing from there. But I'd like to be able to find and correct the cause of the error message instead of using a workaround. It seems like there's a file or folder somewhere that has somehow become read-only. Does anyone know where iTunes downloads the carrier settings and OS update files?

    You will find them in separate folders within your user account Library/iTunes folder.
    That was it. Somehow the owner of ~/Library/iTunes got changed to root.

    Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions?
    Right after I posted the message I thought that the age-old placebo of repairing permissions might actually fix my problem. Because of your quick reply I found the ownership problem before repairing permissions. So here was the perfect chance for a test. Repair Permissions ran successfully but the owner of ~/Library/iTunes was still root. Repair Permissions fails the test.
    I manually changed the owner to steve and was able to download and install the carrier settings.
    Thanks!

  • Possible that itunes will not update iphone OS while overseas?

    hi, im in australia, and i was thinking about getting the iphone 3gs through the local australian network carrier here, however, a friend of mine said that whenever he returns to his home country with the contract phone that he obtained under a plan with yes optus (australian network carrier) he told me that it is not possible to update the phone or download any apps through the local itunes store in his home country. to confirm this rumour, i head down to a 3 (another australian network carrier) retail store to enquire about the plan while at the same time asking about the rumour, a sales person said that it might be possible that itunes will not update an australian phone with an non australian IP address...is this true? because purchasing an iphone and not being able to update it while i too return to my home country would render the phone quite pointless. could someone please get back to me and confirm if this is true and if there is any possible solutions without hacking the phone? ohh and by the way, the network carriers do legally unlock the phones for their customer when anyone needs to go overseas

    If your phone is locked to the Australian network, then you can only roam in Malaysia. If it's unlocked, you can get a SIM card from a Malaysian provider.
    iTunes, however, is country specific. You cannot access Australian iTunes from another country. For example, I'm in the US, and I can't access iTunes from other countries.
    If your phone is unlocked, and you have a local SIM card, you should be able to access your local version of iTunes. No problem.

  • Itunes will not update to a newer version.

    Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

    The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
    Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
