ITunes Genius Unknown error 4010

I'm a bit tired of this issue which appears to be unresolved problem with iTunes Genius since September 2008. First my updates would get hung up on an iTunes error 4002. After seeing that the fix for this was to turn genius off and then back on, I started getting an Unknown error 4010. There seems to be no consistent fix for this and no word for Apple on what to do. Since the fixes seem so varied, I wonder if this is really an issue on the client end or is this a server issue?
I have deleted the .itdb files and that doesn't help - it just gets hung up longer before failing. Can someone provide an answer on how to fix (or whether or not it can be fixed).

Unfortunately Validator did not work for me.
It gave errors:
perl(13975) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3)
perl(13975) malloc: * error: can't allocate region
perl(13975) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

perl(13975) malloc: * error: can't allocate region
perl(13975) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
Out of memory!
Apparently it ran out of memory! I have 4GB. perhaps my .xml file is just too big (it is 273 MB). I tried an online xml validator, and it also chocked with a file this big. Maybe that is the problem apple is having as well.

ITunes 8.0 - Genius - unknown error 4010

iTunes 8.0 gathers data about my music library well enough and sends it to Apple too; but then 10-15 seconds into "processing" by Apple, iTunes stops and reports that "Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (4010)." I thought it might be overloaded servers and tried several more times in the hope of squeezing my request in between those of everyone else; but that didn't work; plus if it were a server issue I'd expect to see postings here from others with the same problems, and I'm not.
Any thoughts about what the problem might be?

Guys, I have tried to perform a little troubleshooting on my end: I was running a Leopard-capable hacked version of Volume Logic on the laptop. Concerned this might contribute to the problem. I removed the plugin, rebooted, and reattempted and no luck; still a no go.
Also as the iTunes library is on an external drive on my laptop, I attempted to upgraded to iTunes 8 on the desktop. This computer has the library on an internal drive. I have the same error: "Waiting for apple to process the information" it times out or just gives up and gives the 4010 error after ~15 secs.
FWIW,
Trey

ITunes Match Unknown Error (4010)

Does anyone know how to solve the "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (4010.)" when trying to set up iTunes Match? It almost went through once but froze at step 3. Now I'm just getting this error above at the end of step 1.
I currently only can see maybe 2/3rds of my iTunes library in the cloud. Some appear to be matches, some are uploads, however not everything is up there. I've tried restarting the match process to no success.
I've e-mailed apple, but the e-mail I got back directed me to these forums.
- I've checked the xml file and it appears to be fine
- I've turned off all other iOS devices/AppleTV
- I've checked for 'dead songs'
- Tried looking for a weird 'square' in my meta tags
- There are songs waiting to upload, but don't. (meet all requirements like being over 96k bit rate, etc.)
If the answer has been posted somewhere on here, please let me know. I feel I've done a fairly thourough search on here but unfortunately have not found any solutions yet.
Thanks,
-Mike

I'm having the same problem.
I started the iTunes Match process on Monday and everything started off with smooth sailing. Over 11,000 songs were matched and the other 4,000 were being uploaded into the cloud. Sometime Wednesday night, iTunes crashed unexpectedly and I have been getting the 4010 error ever since. I had 2,000 songs left to upload into the cloud.
I've:
- Ran Software Update.
- Repaired Disk Permissions.
- Reset PRAM & SMC.
- Reinstalled iTunes.
- Checked for Dead Tracks.
- Validated the XML file the iTunes Library resides in.
- Re-created the XML file for the iTunes Library.
- Wiped my entire iTunes library.
I'm still getting that darn 4010 error the moment Step 1 is about to complete.
I've sent off two very detailed emails to iTunes and this is the first response I got back:
"I understand that your iTunes Match has stopped working for your account. I know you must be eager to have this taken care of. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. My name is John from the iTunes Store and I will do my best to help you.
Apple's engineers are currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you so much for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible.
Have a great day."
So, um, it looks like there's no fix at the moment.

Anyone getting an unknown error 4010 when launching iTunes Match?

Never had any problems with iTunes Match until the last week. Now whenever I open iTunes and Match starts to update it gets stuck once it starts "sending data to apple." A warning pops up and says "unknown error 4010." I also downloaded an album and when I synced it to my iPhone all the songs were on there twice. Never had any problems with Apple or iTunes before, but lately I've had nothing but frustrations. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Unfortunately getting the same problem as yourself although I've just purchased Itunes Match yesterday and haven't even seen it work. Wondering if i have just wasted my money! I've tried the option/turn off itunes match but even that doesnt work. wondering if I just need to give it a bit more time.

What is error unknown error 4010?

Whenever i open iTunes i get a message that pops up reading (along the lines of) could not connect to the iTunes Store due to unknown error 4010.
What does 4010 mean? I submitted a report to Apple about it but haven't heard back. It seems to have something to do with iTunes Match.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Im using OS X 10.8.2
and iTunes 10.7

You may be using the wrong ID. The ID you use with iTunes match should be your store ID, the one you built your iTunes library with. Thus if your store ID is different than your iCloud ID you should use your store ID for iTunes match and not your iCloud ID for iTunes match. In order to get your iTunes store ID assigned to iTunes match you must be logged into iTunes under your store ID when you buy iTunes match.
I have a situation where I have two IDs, one for iCloud and one for store. My iCloud ID came from my old Mobile Me account, which was not the same as my store ID. This arrangement works fine, though, because there are two different places to input IDs into your IOS5 devices. Put your iCloud ID in the iCloud section and put the store and iTunes match ID in the store location.
Its confusing to people because you use your iTunes store ID for itunes match even though the music is stored in iCloud. Some may naturally think you use the iCloud ID for iTunes match but that is only true for people that only use one ID for everything.

This solved my problem; maybe it would fix yours too: Uninstall iTunes 11 and all the applications that were installed with it. Afterwards, install iTunes 10 instead.
Make sure to delete the library folder created by iTunes 11 in C:\Users\[username]\My Music\iTunes before launching the older versions of iTunes. Otherwise you would receive an error indicating that the programme cannot start.
