No Genius Mix Icon in my Side Panel

Updated to the new iTunes and all software is up to date. I have no genius mix icon in my lefthand sidebar on one of my many iMacs. How can I get this to appear? Oh, and the genius icon that is in that sidebar is the old icon. Any ideas?

  • Genius Mixes icon doesn't appear below Genius

    I've installed the new iTunes 9. Genius is turned on. I see the 'Genius' icon in the left column but not the 'Genius Mixes' icon as it shows in the Getting Started video.

    i'm getting the same result... any help found as of yet?

  • Music+Fim's Covers replaced by Genius-Mix Icon

    After having installed the OS4 on my iPod Touch, a great number of music and film's covers has been replaced by the Genius -Mix typical icon (4 different album covers).
    In iTunes everything's still fine.
    Is there something wrong with the sync?

    I've had this problem for months.   Very occasionally would I see a change in my iPod touch's album art, but mostly they been stuck with a lot of duplicate artwork, and many repeated tracks when I listen to them.   My mixes in iTunes on my Mac do change frequently, and never have I seen any duplicate artwork.
    I too have tried disabling Genius, re-syncing my iPod, then re-enabling Genius, which generated brand new mixes and displayed new art in iTunes.   When I re-synced my iPod, its original mixes and art re-appeared, with the same duplicates in the same positions, as if the mixes were just hidden and recovered rather than synced at all.  
    I haven't tried rebooting or restoring my iPod from a backup.   This isn't the worst thing in the world, worth me taking those extra steps, but annoying to notice nevertheless.   This should just work.

  • ITunes 9 Genius Mixes (having issues)

    I turned off Genius, turned it back on to get Genius Mixes and have not been able to actually play a Genius Mix yet! When I go to the Genius Mix icon and then try and select a Mix, I hit the Play button that appears in the middle of the 4 random cd cover artworks and nothing happens. Well, sometimes, the beach ball shows up and iTunes just stalls! What is going on here? Why doesn't music start playing? Has anyone else had this issue?

    "All I needed to do was check all files, update genius results and Mixes worked properly. Short end of it...Genius only had a few songs, so while the mixes saw my collection, the only relevant tracks to pull from was 14, so the genre wouldn't play if no tracks were in my genius profile....arrrg "
    Same problem since update! Maddening. So where did you "check all files" ?
    I can see the 12 mixes, some play right away and others do nothing or get the BBOD/force quit. I've got 2700+ items in my Music list so ought to be enough for some of these. How do you see what is in the mix, or can you?

  • 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.

  • I want to fix a Genius Mix as a playlist...How do I see track names in a Genius Mix?

    I want to fix a Genius Mix as a Playlist. How do I see track names behind a Genius Mix icon?

    I don't think you can. I was going to suggest that since you can sync a Genius Mix to a device you might read off the tracks from that, but it turns out the details are hidden there too.
    As I understand it once a Genius Mix has been created it won't be altered, unless you delete a "mix" you don't care for in which case a replacement will be generated.
    To capture the list in iTunes I guess you would have to leave the mix to play all the way through until it loops back on itself, then sort your Music in Last Played order and capture the results to a regular playlist.

  • Genius Mixes Not Working- On iTunes on Windows 7- 64 bit

    I built my iTunes library from my entire collection- of over 10,000 songs (more than 64 gigabytes)- and all songs are organized through iTunes Media folder- all have the proper information required for identification, match etc. These include 90s songs, 60s songs- and the latest. All sorts of music is in there. But when I turn on Genius I get NOTHING- Nada- no genius mixes, and although genius is on, I get no Genius playlists when select any track and ask for a play list. I have gone through all the forums I could lay my hands on, and tried all the tricks there. Now, I am at a loss. I filled more than half of my iPod Classic (160G), and would love to see what the genius mixes and genius playlists look like for my collections- but I see none. Any ideas? thanks.

  • ITunes 9 - Genius shows but no Genius Mixes option...

    I am a big fan of my genius play lists and I was really excited for the new genius mixes feature in iTunes 9 but there is nothing showing where the tutorial video shows they should be visible.
    In my left menu bar, I have a full listing for Library, Store and a new section for Genius that wasn't there before but instead of having two items in the Genius section, I only have one - the Genius atom icon and the last genius playlist that I created. The second item that is shown on the video tutorial in that section is the boxy looking icon next to Genius mixes but is not visible.
    I have shut down the app, restarted my computer. It isn't preventing me from using my iPod or iTunes but is a feature that I want to use!

    Click on Store -> Update Genius, the Genius Mixes should pop up after a few moments under Genius on the left. Mine was the same way.

  • No Genius mixes in itunes for ipod classic

    Hello simoneta10,
    iTunes 11 looks a little different than the previous versions of iTunes, and I'm wondering if you do not see the Genius Mixes because the Sidebar is hidden.  You can follow these steps to bring back the sidebar in iTunes:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    You can find the full article here:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Additionally, I recommend reviewing the following resource to sync the Genuis Mixes to your iPod:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • 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.

  • Updated 3.1.1,,,problem about the genius mixes

    I updated my ipod touch to ver3.1.1
    but there do not have genius button next to playlist, artlists, songs....
    i can't use geniues on my ipod touch....
    is there something wrong on my touch,,
    what can i do?? how to install geniues mixes to my ipod touch
    pls help~

    It seems that the Genius Playlist can only be added to an iPod Touch when you sync all of your music or sync all music by selected playlists and select the Genius mix playlist. On the iPod Touch go to music, clike the more which should show the Mixes, click edit and drag the genius icon down to where the bar is that says, playlist, songs, artist etc. You do loose one of your selections since the bottom bar only holds 4 items and the more.
    You must leave the ipod set with the sync music checed, if you dont' the ipod will re-sync and delete the mix.

  • Bookmarks in side panel closed unable to re-open

    somehow my bookmarks in the side panel disappeared. There are absolutely no options to re-acquire them.

    Hi Gallienus,
    Try hitting ''CTRL + B''. This will display your bookmarks in the sidebar temporarily. If you want to permanently put your bookmarks in the sidebar, you should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars this article on customizing the toolbar]. It will show you how you can add new toolbar buttons. There is a bookmark icon available that will open your bookmarks in the sidebar. It looks similar to the other bookmark icon, but it has as small bar on the left side.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Is this what you're wanting to do?
    The icons and how-to are from this website: Replace Lion's Monochromatic Finder Icons with Old-School Colorful Ones. Works with Mt. Lion as the screenshot shows.

  • No Genius Mix listed in iTunes on Macbook

    Hello,
    Interesting issue. I'm running latest version of the iTunes software and I don't have the Genius Mix listed along the left side. My best guess is that this may as result of the small size of my music library on the macbook. My windows machine does have it listed.
    Is there a number threshold on the size of the music library that must be reached before Genius Mix is listed?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The only other thing I can think of is to make sure there's a check mark by Genius in itunes Pref./General tab. But I don't know why the genius playlist would show up if that wasn't checked. That's strange.
