More Like This no more?

For a while now, the "More Like This" section doesn't seem to be very helpul. Many posts (most for new questions) don't have any suggestions at all. This is especially strange as when you input the question in the search field, plenty of related discussions are found.
For the minority that has suggestions listed, they don't seem to be very appropriate. Almost as if just a single word was picked from the question and that's what the suggestions were based on.
The More Like This list used to be very useful in referring people to the right area and oft-discussed topics. What happened? Did Apple change the search logarithm that doesn't work, or are they in the process of transitioning to something better ,and this is just a temporary condition?

I answered a post a few minutes ago illustrating exactly why 'more like this' will be a facility we shall miss.   And on another section I noticed a 'more like this' that was totally out of sync with the subject matter.
There's no rhyme or reason to it and hopefully someone higher up will take notice.  
One other benefit is that he who posts a question will then be presented with many pertinent and alternate viewpoints that can resolve the problem even when his original post has not been responded to.

  • Why doesn't the "more like this" section offer suggestions anymore in the netflix app?

    In the netflix app there is an area labeled "More like this" and it usually show suggestions of other movies.  After the last ATV update, it just shows "More like this..." but it doesn't show any movie suggestions.  When I spoke with netflix, they said the problem was with Apple since they design the netflix app.

    I would also like to know why the suggestions are missing.  It seems to work when you select movies outside netflix.

  • Where can I find all the songs under Play More Like This?

    I accidentally made another station that I already had, I was listening and found a song that I liked. I listed it under Play More Like This, after I noticed I had recreated the same station I deleted the newer station. As I looked for the song this morning, I could not find it under my play history and of course I could not view the Play More Like This on iTunes from computer under the station it was played hence it was deleted. If there is any help for this, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT5848 Cannot tap "play more like this" or "never play this again"!

    On my iPhone 5 in the iTunes Radio page when I tap on the star I cannot tap the options to "play more like this" or to "never play this again". Is anyone else having this problem/can someone help me out? Thanks!!

    I have this same problem; however, I've always ONLY been able to "play more like this" on the PRESET stations; otherwise, how could you have any 'new music' to select that you may want to hear more songs like the one you just heard and 'play more like this."  If you could only choose your OWN music to "play more like this," it doesn't make sense why you would choose your own music? 
    So, I've been able to choose  "play more like this," ONLY on the preset stations, but sometimes they are grayed out and I cannot select that option.

  • Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

    Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

    You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding

  • ITunes Radio-Play more like this

    IS it possible to select 'play more like this' or 'never play again' with the volume controller, without asking Siri?

    I know this isn't right but you can ask her to do that if you want to.

  • HT5848 Max more like this on iTunes Radio?

    Is there a max number of "play more like this" options you can add? I have about 50 and now the station won't play.

    Same problem, although my list wasn't even 50 long.  Like about 30, and the station stopped playing.  I could back some out, but I don't even know how many is necessary.  And just deleting and retrying is 1) tedious, and 2) not guaranteed to work.  iTunes was all messed up and wouldn't play ANY station properly when it first happened.
    Not even restarting iTunes helped.  I had to REBOOT, for cryin' out loud!  But that still only permitted my other stations to work.
    Removing one artist at a time might also require restarting iTunes, or even rebooting, just to test the limit.
    Not cool, Apple.  I'm not wasting my time doing that.
    If there is a limit, the "+" button should grey out or even disappear when you get to the limit...

  • More like this?  Bwhahaha.

    The "More Like This" on the right side need to be fine-tuned to only give useful posts. At the very least, posts that are recent and have solved answers should start the list.
    I keep seeing this post
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/8334632#8334632
    which is from 2008, is unsolved, and has no replies. It really shouldn't be at the top of the "More Like This" list for questions regarding moving itunes libraries.

    Notice that 3 out of the 5 items in the More Like This widget lead to topics in the Lounge which are not viewable by the vast majority of members.
    And, I see the same 5 links whether I'm logged in or not (which, I'm pretty sure, means that everyone sees them).
    When I am not logged in and click on those Lounge-bound links, I hit two login pages and one redirect loop error page. Who knows what logged in L1-5 members see when they try those links? Three redirect loop error pages? They certainly never get to see the Lounge topics....
    Beyond this, I've actually been surprised at how relevant most of the items in the More Like This widget have been.

  • Is it me? Or couldn't the "More Like This" links be improved?

    I already sent feedback to Apple on this.
    But I have noticed that links in the "More Like This" section isn't that useful as they are not completely and always related to the subject at hand. Don't you think it can be indexed a little better?
    I know it might be pointless even writing this, but I was wondering if it was just me or if anyone else has been running into this problem.

    I was responding to this from the  OP
    "SIM=Failure/Invalid SIM" huh? That's what shows up. Messed up programming.
    and explaining why that was in the more like this box.  Not all searches in any database turn up what we would like but it is a It is a valid hit for his question.
    As I wrote I was not defending the search here in fact one of my first posts way back when was asking about the lack of decent search. What  I was told then and what I tell posters now is to use Google and restrict the search to ASC. You'll get much better results.

  • Anyone else feeling like this is more trouble than it is worth?

    I am currently under the grandfather plan of unlimited data, text with 450 minutes and an employee discount. I have enjoyed the usage of my Droidx for almost 3 years now. It had a good run, but the pinch of an $80 smart phone plan just doesn't seem worth it anymore. To be honest, for me the pricing of cell phone plans is getting out of control. Like everything else it seems, prices have gone up, but per usual, my income has not.
    The share-everything plans look like absolute nightmares and terrible deals, and to switch over would increase my costs by $20 for what I feel is a very bad deal, seeing as I do not use many minutes on my cell phone. Although I take very good care of my phone, I am not naive enough to think that it will last forever. 2GB data plan is hardly what I would call a pot to pee in, especially with e-mail, web, pictures, etc.  I realize the bottom line of the company is to make money, but lately it just seems like all of the hooplah that comes with smartphones is enough to try the patience of any saint. I'm contemplating alternatives, but I am not sure where to start. Perhaps it's time just to go to good old prepaid cell phone, and pretend I never had internet to begin with
    I think the turning point for me today was the phone call I received from Verizon regarding my bills. I've never had a late bill in the 16 years I have been with them, but for some reason, my payment for February did not go through.The first words out of this lady's mouth were "I'm _____ from Verizon Wireless, you owe us ___________ how will you be paying your bill today?" Seriously? First time being late, and even though I have e-mail notifications, this is the crap I am greeted with upon answering the phone. No thank you, kiss my rear, nothing? What am I, chopped liver? Lol.

  • HT3965 my itunes doesn't look like this any more. i no longer get the side menu. where did it go?

    I have an Ipad 2 and a mini and they both display as Bettys Ipad. I want one to say Mini. How can I change the name on one of them.
    My itunes no longer has the menu on the side. Now, it only shows a small drop down menu for chosing movies, music, etc.
    Can someone tell me another way of doing it now, or tell me how to get that old menu back?

  • Lr 3.4.1 screen crashes on load; reverts to previous screen or won't shut down--see "more like thli

    1.   Have successfully imported some images to Lr 3.4.1, but when I try to import the second batch of images from the same memory card by going thro the import steps, Lr either reverts to the previous screen (of the last set of images) or the whole screen goes blank, and the tabs can't be operated, and I can't close the application either.    What have I done wrong or what do I need to do to correct this problem?
    Message was edited by: Ron Bob 2.   Lr 3.4.1 crashes whern importing images from camera memory card;  3.   Can specify/name a new folder, but then it disappears;  4.   Then Lr freezes and reverts to previous image screen in Library;  5.  And then when I try to reload Lr by going to File/import images from camera, Lr freezes or goes to a single blue bar at top of screen (nothing else shows in Lr);  Nor can I then close Lr by ticking on the X, or by trying to exit under the file menu.  6. Am using Windows Vista (with latest updates),  Lr 3.4.1, AVG 2012.     Seems to be similar problem to others reported in the "More like this" section, but I am not using 'tethered captiure', although I AM TRYING TO IMPORT FILES FROM A CAMERA MEMORY CARD. NB  The heading for this complaint has been modified/edited.

    6/9/11     Problem now seems to be resolved with the download and use of Lr 3.5!!   It seems to me that my original problems seem to be caused by the memory card and trying to download the second half of the images in a different folder???.

    For xfce4 shutdown and reboot you probably have to fix the Policykit.conf: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 19#p496619
    I just got helped with this myself.
    If you use my /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf make sure you use your own "login name"...... mine is "seventy3" so use your own "$USER" name like the HAL ArchWiki page says here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … utomounter

  • When I repair disk permissions using Disk Utility and it says it's completed the task, I click on it again and it repairs more. This has been going on for hours now. Could there be that many wrong permissions? Should it get to "all repaired" eventually?

    It's normal behavior. You don't have to worry about. Most of what's listed is just a report of what the utility finds., not necessarily that there is omething wrong.
    If you want to find out more, read the link below, or see the More Like This links on this page.

    Has anyone not been able to get the iTunes installer to load properly and get a message like this: This iTunes installer is intended for 32 bit versions of windows. Please download and install 64 bit iTunes installer instead. I have tried repeatedly to get this to load, I have uninstalled iTunes completely and reinstalled and still get the same message. I have windows XP and a brand new ipod touch which I am trying to load.

    Yes, it's come up a number of times. If you look to the right under "more like this", you'll find threads that may offer useful suggestions.
