ITunes App Genius recommendations are gone on iOS7

There used to be Genius recommendations in the App Store (on the iPad in this case.) They're gone--did Apple just decide on a different direction or something? Is it hidden in a secret menu or something?

If you look around, there are several entries on this problem. Unfortunately, there seem to be no solutions as of yet. You are not alone in this problem. So far it appears to be a cross-platform problem as PC users are having the same issue. "Genius Recommends" worked rather oddly in the last few releases of iTunes but now it seems to work not at all beyond page one.

Genius recommendations are gone in itunes store

After updating iTunes to the latest version, I was exploring the store, and I saw the usual area that had recommendations from Genius. Later the same day, I started up iTunes and the Genius section is gone. After a few days it remains gone. What happened?

Thank you!!! It worked for me! It's complicated and I had to try it a few times. I even had to look up a phoney zip code on Google to get the corresponding address and phone number. I think you should try it again.
I was also stupid and didn't notice the Paypal option. Since I have Paypal, I could have signed up using that option. I can also buy music from iTunes, as long as Paypal does not disclose my location.

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

I had to get my laptop cleaned and all my itunes music and movies are gone how do i get them back?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

All my apps and music are gone after i updated to 5.0.1

i did back up my ipodtouch before i updated it. all my musics and apps are gone and only thing it backed up is my pics, contacts, and some other stuff. is there anyway i can get my apps and musics back?

You said you did a backup...
iCloud backup or iTunes backup?
Also, two suggestions for next time:
Software updates can be done right from your device, under Settings > General > Software Update if you have iOS 5 or later. This usually prevents a lot of problems users typically run in to when updating in iTunes.
When updating in iTunes, even though your restore may seem complete, it is still restoring your apps, music, etc. Please be sure that it is absolutely complete before unplugging.

When transfering music into itunes, music not showing in itunes app, but songs are in music folder.

when i transfered many songs from external hard drive into itunes library, the songs do not appear after transfer completes. it appears as if songs are being added to library. when i search through itunes app, songs are missing, when i go to the folder on computer that holds my itunes library songs are there. any help?
latest version of itunes with windows 7.
thanks

Create a smart playlist that would match one of the albums. I suspect you'll find the tracks show up in it...
My guess is that something has gone wrong with the internal index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes library folder, then start iTunes again. iTunes should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to clear up any anomalies.

Yup all my apps and music are gone now

Well just like everyone else ios 5 jacked up my phone. I was going to look and check other peoples post so I didnt post the same issue someone else had but this site is running so slow! no doubt because so many people are having issues. I updated itunes first then i updated. However it couldnt back up my phone. But it said I could continue to update so I did. It updated me to 5 but it also returned my iphone 4 to factory settings Luckily I had backed up the night before so I tried to restore from back up. It took soooo long! and when my phone restarted and had me configure icloud settings. But when I looked through my stuff I had my contacts, e mail, pictures, and texts. But all my apps and music are missing! So I tried to restore again thinking ok I set up my icloud stuff so maybe now all my stuff will be back. And nope 30-40 mins later still the same!!!! *** I guess I can consider myself lucky since others dont even have their contacts. But man im ****** I had stuff to do today and instead I wasted my time with this update! And I still dont have my apps and music. How could apple have failed so bad?

Yep, same here. Literally, this happens EVERYTIME I update my iphone. Thousands of songs and tons of apps - all gone. I believe I've tried everything to get it all back, but no success.
Think it's time I chuck my iPhone out the window and boycott Apple.

ITunes - App Store - There are updates available that ain't available?

First of all, I'm starting to think that the iPhone ***** big time, but that's a whole other story...
So, here's my issue: Apparently there are updates to my applications available. So says iTunes and also the App Store app on the iPhone, both of them reporting the same number of apps available.
I'm quite sure that there was a button to "update all" on the iPhone on 2.0.1 and 2.0, but that seems to be missing? (but not the point anyway)
Then, in iTunes, the applications view tells me that there are updates available. When I click that link on the lower right that usually redirects to the update page, iTunes tells me that there are no updates available for my account?!
How can that be? Either there are or there ain't.
Is there a way to fix that problem? I would have updated the applications trough the iPhone, but as there are many (44) and I would have do update them one-by-one, I'd like to go an easier way...
I'm really patient, but I start to hate my iPhone. As it is now, it is just a ******* expensive piece of junk. :-((

I have fixed a similar issue in my iTunes. Here is my thoughts on why it happened and the fix.
I had recently added a second computer w/ iTunes with which my iPhone is now synching. I wanted to move my music library synching from work to home.
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I was synching:
Info, Contacts
Info, Calendar
Ringtones
Music
Podcasts
Video
Applications
On the 2nd PC (@ Home) I began synching:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (this nicely caused all of my iPhone Applications to be copied to this PC, in case of a need for a restore from home)
After beginning synching on the 2nd PC (@ Home), I disabled synching on 1st PC of:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (This apparently caused the issue)
The issue with phantom updates was showing up on the 1st PC (@ Work), but I was not synching Applications here. Apparently, I had updated some Applications from the 2nd PC (@ Home) and iTunes detected this and saw a need to show that my iTunes Applications needed updating. Something not in synch between iPhone - iTunes - App Store I believe.
The Fix:
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I enabled synching of Applications and then performed a synch. The phantom updates went away. I noted during the synch that my iPhone apparently updated some of the applications in my iTunes library.
I hope this helps or enlightens others having this difficulty.

I accidently synced my ipod to itunes and all musics are gone

I recently used other program called copytrans manager to transfer musics to my ipod
and yesterday I don't know why I did it, but I hit the backup button, assuming that will save my musics files too,
and hit the sync! but I felt weird so I canceled the sessions as soon as the syncing process was ongoing.
However, after that, I clicked music file on my ipod to listen to music and
musics kept skipping to the next one and finally all of them are gone and I only have
2 musics which I purchased in itunes store. and in my playlists, sopt mark in the circle was shown right next to the title of the music.
my ipod is 5th generation and I was about to update mine to 7.02, I think? and I am using the latest itunes.
I used to have about 900 songs in my ipod and my itunes has only 400 out of 900. so....
Is there any way that I can recover my ipod? like is there any time machine?
please help me please!! I am desperate now!!!

Thank you for all the supports and answers.
But I have a new problem here.
I connected my ipod to my mac and turned on the itunes.
And I still haven't done anything to my ipod. (haven't re-synced or tried to fix my problem. my situation is same as my original post says,)
I clicked 'my ipod's music'section on itunes' sidebar.
And surprisingly, all my old music are still there, but with some greyed titles.
What do i have to do? I don't want my situation to get any worse.
What is needed if I want my musics back?
Help me please!

that is the file extension for iTMS purchased music.

I buy a song on my itouch, then buy one from itunes the old ones are gone

I have a problem, whenever i buy a song from my ipod touch, 2nd Gen and 16GBs and then update it to my itunes account they are still there, but then when i buy a song on itunes and sync it, the songs i bought on my touch are gone. I don't know what i can dong wrong!! I have lost money doing this and am very frustrated. I have the latest version of itunes but maybe i need to check something, but what??
PLEASE HELP ASAP!

I'm a little confused so I'm not sure if this is the answer you need.
As long as the songs you buy are in your music library on your hard drive you still have them.
If you sync the iPod, instead a managing your music manually, it will delete any songs not on the play list you sync to.
If you just want to add a song to your iPod then put it on manual .

Just downloaded new itunes and now photos are gone and cant find photos on any menu

anyone have problems with new update and finding the section for photos-I lost all when did backup

*i still have EVERYTHING, including songs and videos in my other itunes library on my pc.*
Connect you iPod back to your old computer. Your iPod is set to sync automatically which is why you got the Erase and Sync message. You'll get that same message again when you link to the original computer. Choose Erase and Sync again and it will reload your library. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. Change to this setting when you have reloaded your original library and you'll be able to use the iPod safely on the laptop:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

I downloaded iOS 5 and then I found my Apps were missing. So then I looked it up on the web then found the fix. The only problem is that half the apps I downloaded are gone. One of my favorite, Angry Birds, which I bought is also gone.

I need help! I downloaded iOS 5 on my iPod 3rd generation after backing EVERYTHIGN up 4 times and I think I might have synced it. But just forget that I synced anything. So then when I tried to Restore Back-up it DID NOT work. This was my first time using iTunes, and I ALWAYS download throught the APP store. So then I found the fix online. I actually found 3 different ways:
A). Go to the App store and then go to 'UPDATES' then go to Purchased and download everything you need.
- This didn't work for halfmy apps.
B). Go to the iTunes store, go to File > Sync iPod then wait a LOOOOOOOOONG time.
- This also did not work, and not just in the case of my missing apps, all my apps were just sitting there. Nothing happened. I deemed this as USELESS.
C). I have a premonition that this option should work, but I can't find it. I have to go to the SUMMARY tab under device settings then click restore. The onlyproblem is, I CAN'T FIND IT! It probably should work.
BOTTOM LINE: Some of my favorite Apps such as Angy Birds and Madden NFL '11 are now gone. I have no idea what happened. And my backed-up iPod on iTunes only has like 14 apps out of 100sof Apps.
PLEASE HELP - SLL ANSWERS GET 5 POINTS

Have you looked on all the pages of your iPod? Have you looked in all your folders? Have you you tried finding the apps using the iPod's search page.
PS: Offering points in advance is a violation of there terms of service for this forum. Perhaps it's why you have not received any other answers so far,

I just updated to iSO 5 and then I synced my itouch and now all my apps and games are gone! What do I do to get them back?

hey I would really appreciate it if you could help? I just cant believe all my apps just went poof after I synced my itouch on itunes.
They are no where to be found? what do I do? Im really freaked out because i dont want to have to buy them all again.

If for some reaon you failed to transfer them to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Changed a country, all apps (Mac + iOS) are gone

A few months ago I changed country, only to find out that I cannot see updates through iTunes anymore.
Luckily I could still update through my iPhone, and if I didn't have the app I could just re-purchase it for free.
I got used to the situation until last week I could no longer download updates on the iPhone nor the Mac App Store.
This message in shown in both stores - "you cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
I contacted Apple only to receive a representive very unwilling to help, ignoring everything I say and just quoting me the terms of service and instructions how to view my purchase history.
Apparently I do not own any of the apps I purchased in my previous country. I cannot download or update them anymore. To do this I must pay again!
I've been told to just switch a country, however I have credit on my account so iTunes will not let me switch.
Now I cannot download any of my paid apps, as well as OS X Mountain Lion which I bought on my previous country.
Apple support refuses to help me, telling me I must paid for everything and gave me a couple of apps for free as "a courtesy".
This is the representative final response - ignoring everything we talked about, especially the fact I cannot change a country:
"Hi Yariv,
Thank you for your response.
Any apps that were purchased in the previous country will need to be repurchased as it's not possible to update apps after changing countries. We re grant the two apps as a courtesy.
Please reply to this email if you are unable to change the country for your account, and I will assist you further.
If you have any additional questions regarding managing your accounts, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you further. Thank you for your business."
