Turning Off Genius in iTunes 10.4

How does one turn off the "Genius" when the Turn Off Genius is greyed out in the Store Menu.  I have 42,000+ tunes & I don't think it will finish whatever it is doing for the next couple of hours.
Thanks for all of your help.

In reply to Peter2300's problem of not being able to delete Genius Playlists on the ipdad.  I had this same problem on my ipad2 and my son's ipad mini.  In both our cases we had a number of extra Genius Playlists and most of these had no songs in them.  We couldn't delete them the normal way by just holding down on them until the little X appeared.  We both solved it the same way. On my iPad when I "tap" on the Genius playlist I want to delete, it switches to the screen showing the individual songs in the Genius list (even if it's just a blank playlist), and there is a "save" button near the upper right of the screen. I pressed the Save button and then hit the button on the upper left to return to the list of Playlists.  After doing this, the last Genius Playlist displayed could then be deleted the normal way by pressing on it and waiting for the X.  I had to repeat this process for each extra Genius playlist I wanted to get rid of (which was all of them b/c on mine they were all blanks).  I just repeated the process of viewing each playlist, saving it, going back to the list of Playlists and then deleting the one that appeared last on the screen.  So far these Genious Playlists have not returned.  Hope this helps.

  • How can I turn off genius in iTunes 10.5.3 (3)

    How can I turn off Genius in iTunes 10.5.3  under Lion 10.7.3 (other than disconnecting from the internet). It is no longer an option in the Store menu and although I can hide that playlist on the left through parental controls, the atom symbol is still present in the lower right of the window available to generate a list from a selected song. Thank you.

    I have the option to turn it off. What version of iTunes are you using? I have the latest iTunes. Have you tried signing out of the store?

  • Is there an easy way to turn off Genius in itunes 10.6.1?

    I have Genius playlists on my ipad2 that I do not want. I would like to get rid of all Genius suggestions and have viewed many suggestions; one being to go to the store tab and click turn off genius. This option is not available it only gives the option 'Update Genius'. I recently joined itunes Match and this seems to automatically think that you want to have Genius. Can someone help me in gettng rid of Genius. Thanks in advance.

    Any ideas?   "Turn Off Genius" is obviously NOT an option!

  • Turned off Genius, how do I restore Genius playlists from ipod to my iTunes

    Hi,
    I turned off Genius in iTunes by accident and my Genius playlists have been deleted. They are still on my iPod. I'd like to know if they will automatically sync back to iTunes when I connect my iPod or have I lost them for good?
    Many thanks

  • How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

    How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

    FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this.  I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether.  I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed.  For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

  • Turn off iCloud in iTunes 11 Library?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and am somewhat disapointed with the results. The new features are great, however, one annoys me very. Is there a way to turn off iCloud in my music library? My music library is now flooded with tracks that I want nothing to do with. Please help.

    Go to Prefs>Store, uncheck Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases
    If you still see them:
    Go to your music, then View>Hide iTunes in the cloud.
    Select each of your media types in kind (Movies, TV Shows, etc.) and go to View>Hide iTunes in the cloud
    To further decouple your library from the Store/Cloud:
    Go to Store>Turn Off iTunes Match and Turn Off Genius.
    Go to Prefs>General, uncheck Genius
    Go to Prefs>Store, uncheck Sync playback info, Automatically download album artwork, share info with Apple

  • I can't turn off Genius!

    I just can't turn off Genius.  I have signed out of the store, I do not use Match so it is not turned on.  Turn Off Genius is grayed out.

    If the phone does not show up in the device list in iTunes on your computer, you can't back it up anymore.
    If your phone is set to back up to iCloud, at least your contact info and photos should have been backed up, if you selected those items to be included in the backup.
    Did you try to connect in recovery mode?

  • How do I turn off Genius permanently?

    I'm using the latest iTunes and iOS 5x on my iPad2 and iPhone 4S. How do I turn off Genius permanently? I don't want Apple to bother combing through my library and making music recommendations. I don't really care what they think I might like to listen to and it's creepy to me to think they monitor my library in order to update Genius. I searched on this topic and two years ago the solution was to go to Store / Turn Off Genius but that is not an option in the latest version of iTunes. Please don't tell me to turn off the Genius sidebar, I already did that. Thanks.

    This is the most correct answer, thanks. So I turned off iTunes Match and I got a dialog saying deleting Genius results or something like that. And I get the option to Turn On Genius which of course I don't do. But if I then turn iTunes Match back on, there is no option to turn Genius off. There are only options to Turn Off iTunes Match, Update iTunes Match, or Update Genius. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if I now want to update iTunes match, today or in the future, Genius will update as well and I'll be right back where I started from. It seems as though using iTunes Match gives Apple license to deliver Genius results as well, without an opportunity to opt out.
    This bugs me because even though I know by using iTunes Match Apple knows what's in my library (I bought the vast majority on iTunes anyway), Genius knows what I've been playing and perhaps how I've rated those songs as well. I just don't think that's any of Apples business unless I approve in order to get recommendations from Genius.

  • HT2978 how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

    how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

    What you are saying is true but it will not always work. The aap store is dead. Wen I go to the fret urged page I see a white screen. I should be able to scroll down to the bottom and select View Apple ID but can't. This is on my wife's iPad and she thought after she upgraded to iOS 6.0 when it prompted her to turn on Genius that's what caused the trouble and she wanted to turn off Genius. NO CAN DO in App Store.
    To turn off Genius I had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID xxxxx then click view Apple ID then I can turn Genius off and on.
    But the did not fix the problem with the App Store which is still dead.

  • How to turn off Genius on iPod touch

    I  want to turn off Genius on my iPod touch.  I have already turned it off on my iTunes (in my PC), but it is still
    shoing Genius playlists om my iPod.

    Thank you.  I did sync my iPod with iTunes but the Genius Mixes (at Genius prompt) and a Genius playlist
    (under Playlists) still appear on my iPod.  Insanely, I had previously unchecked Genius In my Account
    settings.   I also shut down and restarted my iPod and my Laptop.  Is it possible the Genius is no longer
    active but downloaded stuff is still in the iPod,  like when you turn off Match?   R

  • Turn off accelerometer in itunes?

    I run 4-6 miles daily with my iphone. When the phone bounces around sometimes I get the landscape display for my song list and have to flip through album covers. I would like I tunes to stay vertical, so I can use the arrows to go back and forth instead of having to flip through album covers. It is slow and annoying. Can I disable just this feature?

    turn off accelerometer in itunes?.
    There is no accelerometer in iTunes.
    You can set the iPhone to call up the iPod controller by double tapping teh Home button.
    Settings -> General -> Home.
    Tick iPod.
    Set the *iPod controls* to On.
    Now double tap the home button to call up the iPod controls (even when the iPhone is locked) with Volume, Play/Pause, FF/Next, RW/Previous, current song name.
    This will work with whatever is going on with the iPhone.
