Why is the jazz genius mix titled "Classical Mix"?

I'm running iTunes 10.7.0.21 and everything seems fine. The only strange thing is that I have two Genius mixes, each titled "Classical Mix." One of these consists of obviously classical music from my music library, but the other consists obviously of jazz. There is no Genius mix called "Jazz Mix," so it looks like the jazz mix has somehow gotten titled "Classical Mix." I also have other mixes (Alt. Singer/Songwriter Mix, Indie Rock Mix, Chamber Pop Mix, etc.), but it's really strange that a mix that consists of Billie Holliday, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Miles Davis, etc. has a label of "Classical Mix." Meanwhile, the second "real" Classical Mix has Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, etc. This is really strange.
Is there any way to retitle my Genius Mixes?  Is this a bug?  I look at my music by genre and I clearly have 120 albums that are labeled as "Jazz," so why does iTunes insist on calling this music a "Classical Mix"?
I've tried turning off Genius and turning it back on, but that does nothing. I've figured out which "Classical Mix" is really the jazz mix, so this is really a minor annoyance, but why doesn't this work correctly?
Thanks.

The latter.  I just recorded a bass track as an audio track along with tracks for guitar, banjo, harmonica, etc.  (I bounce off line so playing along with the bounce is not possible.)  The thing is that the other instruments I play are all acoustic, so they go on their tracks through a mic. The bass is an electric bass guitar, and while I have an amp and could mic it, it just seemed easier to put it on a track by plugging it right into the preamp, which has an "instrument" input setting as an alternative to the "microphone" input setting. 
What is so screwy about this is that the normalize function in the bounce window should make proportionate adjustments to all instruments.  At least that's what the owner's manual says it does.  But what it seemed to be doing is treating the directly input bass and the microphoned instruments seperately.  I usually record the bass track at a fairly high input so that I can clearly hear it in the headphones as I play over the previously recorded instruments and vocals.  Then I rely on the mixer to bring down the volume of the bass to a more reasonable level in the final mix.  But with the normalize function on in the bounce, the bass was still coming through in the bounce at the original input level or something very close to it.  That would be fine if the other instruments were properly jacked up as well so that the bounce sound like what I heard through the mixing board, only louder. But what I got was a mix with all of the all the other miced instruments sounding just like they did through the mixing board and the bass blasting away at the original recorded level notfwithstanding the volume reduction on the mixing board.  Very strange.  I assume this is a software bug, but now at least I have a reasonable work around.  Thanks again.

  • Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal?

    Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal

    The battery has a cycle count of 101 and is listed in good condition and @ 2 years old.  The 'genius' said it was 'normal' and NOT defective.  And was probably because I left it plugged in most of the time.
    I remined him how the lithium ion battery and its associated charging system are supposed to be very sophisticated and are reported to not overcharge the battery and to extend its life. I also cited where I had read that the swelling usually occurrs when a battery does not ventilate properly,
    I asked him why the five other Apple laptops I owned for years never had that 'normal' condition.
    I pretty much got the dumb deer-in-the headlights stare.

  • Why did the browser window's title bar, menu, minimize, maximize, and close buttons all disappear, and how do I get them back?

    I am literally stuck in Firefox. Suddenly the window changed to full screen mode, and the title bar and Firefox menu disappeared, along with the close, minimize, and maximize buttons. All I can access are the menu bar and open browser tabs.
    I can't even access my dock (on Mac), which usually pops up when I mouse over the bottom of the screen.
    So, the only way it seems I can get out of Firefox is to shut down my computer by pressing the power button. Unless there is some keyboard shortcut. I tried command-11 but that just switched between open my browser tabs.
    FYI i have no idea what Ubuntu is and don't think I'm using it (that name seems to pop up when I google this problem)
    Oh yeah, also I'm using Firefox 3.6.2 because my elderly Mac is running on OSX 10.4.11. Have never had any problems with it before.

    IN your iTunes library, does the movie appear with a cloud on it for downloading?
    is the movie still in the iTunes Store?
    iTunes purchases the rights to sell a movie, but those are for a time limit.  If the right expires and apple doesn't renew, the movie is no longer available for download and must be saved in your library.   I suggest backing up your movies ASAP.  Check the store for this movie, perhaps it is still available.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Genius on 160GB Classic Plays Wrong Version of Song (Title & Artist Match)

    I have noticed a problem with Genius right out of the box with my 160 classic. The problem still exists after the latest software update for the device.
    If I select a song and start Genius it will sometimes play another version of that song instead of the selected one. For example I have a song by "Artist A" titled "Song A" on "Album A" it will sometimes play "Artist A", "Song A", from "Album B". I've narrowed it down to it always playing the one that comes from the first, alphabetically, album on which the track occurs. So if the song and artist match but there is a version of the song on "A Album", "B Album", and "C Album" it will always put the "A Album" version in the playlist and never use the "B Album" or "C Album" versions even when they are directly chosen.

    Have you reported this problem directly to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html ? It's possible that they are either unaware of it's existence or that it is the designed behaviour which could perhaps benefit from being clarified in online support.
    Given, for example, the general (I presume intentional) inability of the iPod Classic firmware to discriminate between albums of the same title but different album artists, I would guess that the underlying logic for Genius may differ from what you or I might expect or assume at first glance. From your description it would seem that Genius is based on considering which artist/track name pairings fit together, ignoring the album information altogether in this context. As popular tracks are often released on many compilations and anthologies this would seem to have some merit. If Genuis thinks song Y fits well with song X it doesn't really matter which version of song Y it uses (assuming of course they are identical). With this in mind I would venture to suggest that EVERY track Genius selects is from the first album (alphabetcially) you possess that features the given song by the given artist. This aspect is only readily apparent if choose a different version as your initial song where you have multiple instances. If the songs are identical then I don't really see a problem, other than the mild surprise that what you pick isn't what you get, but if you have significantly different versions of the same title and prefer one over the other then I guess the workaround would be to rename the tracks in order to distinguish them. E.g. add the otherwise redundant \[Live\] tag onto the titles of tracks from a live album so these are not selected in error when you try to create a Genius mix based on the studio version of the same track.

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

  • Where is the jazz music in genius playlists?

    I have a large selection of jazz in my library.  However, there is no genius playlists for jazz, but three different groupings for easy listening.  Under what category would I locate the jazz tracks?

    You need to create your own playlists for your Jazz music. Genius playlists are supposedly devised based on what you listen to from your library and may not categorize it as you expect. You may well find the music you listened to put into one or more of those easy listening groups especially if what you consider to be jazz is actually considered to be easy listening. For example, Kenny G is really easy listening/new age, but is often catalogued under Jazz. I find it much simpler to ignore using Genius and just create my own set of playlists from my all jazz library.

  • MacBook Pro retina 13" (late 2013, Haswell) why is the highest resolution rendered in 3360x2100, which the system obviously can't handle?!

    Hey Apple and Apple users,
    I just recently switched from an MacBook Air (mid 2013) to the new Haswell MacBook Pro retina 13" (late 2013 model).
    The main reason to do so was the better screen and the option to run higher scaled resolutions, as advertised.
    I was willing to trade in the Air's low weight, smaller formfactor and the extra batterylife for the better screen.
    When it comes to resolutions:
    1280x800 is just a joke nowadays, why is the MacBook Pro still based on it? 13" and 1440x900 work quite fine...see MacBook Air.
    1440x900 is okay in everyday life situations, but sometimes you just need "more space" as the third scaling option calls it as well in the display-settings.
    1680x1050 on 13" can sometimes be challenging, but it is really fine if you need to work and have a lot UI elements to deal with (Photoshop etc.)
    So 1680x1050 scaled on the 2560x1600 screen would be my daily driver for work. So I expected a scaling factor of "1.5238..." (2560/1680) will be used most of the time.
    Frankly spoken...I am really disappointed by the 13" retina MacBook Pro and the way OS X Mavericks is handling the scaling.
    It obiously works well and responsive with the 1280x800 non-scaling resolution ("best for retina, scaling factor 2: 1280 --> 2560).
    Is still "okay-snappy" at 1440x900 (scaling factor 1.777...: 1440 --> 2560).
    But it totally breaks down at 1680x1050 (scaling factor 1.523...: 1680 --> 2560).
    I use "Mission Control" all the time and it is stuttering and slow...overall a sluggish and unbearable experience.
    The same goes for Desktop-Switching by swiping the screens or resizing and moving windows and files around.
    So I was wondering why...and then I noticed that when taking a screenshot of my entire screen (CMD + 3) the image size of the screenshot was 3360x2100 and not the expected 2560x1600.
    This means Mavericks is not scaling the UI with the appropriate factor (see above). For retina MacBooks it ist simply rendering one pixel of the classic, non-retina Interface in now 4 pixels (2x2) and sending this straight to the screen, which then "scales" it down to the resolution it is able to display.
    Why is this bothering me? – Because the machine has to do a lot more work to render the higher resolution that can't even be displayed, due to the screens limitations.
    2560x1600 = 4096000 pixels = 100%
    3360x2100 = 7056000 pixels = 172%
    This means the MacBook has to render 72% more information than actually can be displayed on the built-in screen and are just lost.
    Of course this makes the overall UI feel sluggish and idly! Especially with the not that performant Intel Iris IGP and no dedicated graphics card.
    All this extra "rendering" just results in a worse battery life due to the extra work that the graphics card and CPU have to do.
    First, Apple...are you serious about this?
    What can we do about this?
    Is there a way to have this properly scaled?
    Thanks in advance to everyone.

    Okay...I thought deeply about this issue.
    Even looking into ways to maybe fixing this on the software side. But it occured to me that this is to deeply embedded into the system that it won't be possbile to come up with a sufficient third-party solution.taht
    The problem is that there is no intermediate step inbetween "standard DPI" graphics and "HiDPI" (image-resources named "[email protected]").
    But there should be one, to minimize the amount of image information that needs to be processed by the device.
    This effects especially the MacBook Pro retina 13", as it has the less powerful Intel Iris IGP, when performing on the highest scaled resolution (equivalent to 1650x1080).
    As well as the MacBook Pro retina 15" without a dedicated, second Graphics Unit,when performing on the highest possible scaled resolution (equivalent to 1920x1200).
    Those devices don't have enough resources to handle the consequential "HiDPI" resolutions of 3360x2100 for the 13" and 3840x2400 for the 15" model.
    (Comment: 3840x2400 = 9,2MP, which is more than the standard 4K resolution of 3840x2160.
    I analyzed the scaling factors as follows:
    Factor "2" to display 1280x800 on the 13" model and 1440x900 on the 15" model in HiDPI.
    Factor "1.777..." would be required to display 1440x900 on the 2560x1600 screen of the 13" model.
    Factor "1.714..." would be required to display 1650x1080 on the 2880x1800 screen of the 15" model.
    Factor "1.523..." would be required to display 1650x1080 on the 2560x1600 screen of the 13" model.
    Factor "1.5" would be required to display 1920x1200 on the 2800x1800 screen of the 15" model.
    As all the models seem to have no problem with rendering the intermediate scaling step (1440x900 for the 13" and 1680x1050 for the 15" model) at HiDPI, hence with the scaling factor 2. There is no real need to provide the UI-elements.
    But in my opinion there is a strong need for a "MidDPI" ([email protected]) intermediate step for all the UI graphic elements that wis based on the scaling factor 1.5.
    This would result in the following:
    13" MacBook Pro retina with 2560x1600 screen:
    1280x 800 @ 2x = 2560x1600 (no surplus, native screen resolution)
    1440x 900 @ 2x = 2880x1800 (the surplus of 1088000px = ~1MP can still be handled and compansated by the weak Iris IGP)
    1680x1050 @ 2x = 3360x2100 (the surplus of 2960000px = ~3MP is too much for the weak Iris IGP)
    NEW 1680x1050 @ 1.5x = 2520x1575 (with a small border of left=20px, bottom=13, right=20, top=12 pixels, which means ~2,2mm and ~1.3mm around the 1.5x scaled image!).
    15" MacBook Pro retina with 2880x1800 screen:
    1440x900 @ 2x = 2880x1800 (no surplus, native screen resolution)
    1680x1050 @ 2x = 3360x2100 (the surplus of 1872000px = ~2MP can still be handled by the Iris Pro IGP)
    1920x1200 @ 2x = 3840x2400 (the surplus of 4032000px = ~4MP can't be handled sufficiently by the Iris Pro IGP)
    NEW 1920x1200 @ 1.5x = 2800x1800 (nu surplus, native screen resolution, no border needed!)
    The big advantage is that all the graphics have already been remodeled for the HiDPI mode.
    So scaling those "factor 2x" images down to "factor 1.5x" should be comparably easy!
    Example:
    Left: Traditional "standard DPI" icon of "all my files".
    Right: "@2x.png" for the "HiDPI" modes.
    Middle: "@1.5x.png" suggestions for the "MidDPI" mode; easily scaled down from the lovely HiDPI graphics.
    With this simple introduction of the "MidDPI" modes a significant amount of processing power can be saved.
    This not only improves battery life when driving those higher scaled resolutions, but also lets the user access those resources for what really matters: processing power for the primary job that the Mac needs to get done.
    Thanks in advance.
