Genius Playlist on iPhone

I'm having the same problem. Genius playlist will form in itunes but not on my iphone.

iPhone 3G, 3.0 software.

Yup,

another one here - genius works in itunes - not on iphone.

Same songs, very popular songs bought from itunes ...
Updated/replaced library on phone ...
Updated genius with phone plugged in...

Still not working

I have had 2 issues involving Genius (a great feature I use all the time) on my iPhone 3GS.

1. iTunes give me the message "This song does not have enough related songs to create a Genius Playlist" This is coming from a popular group "Third Eye Blind" from my 3,0000 song library that is all on my iPhone.

2. When I do get a song that can create a Genius Playlist, I cannot save it. I tried this on a number of Genius playlists, and it will never save them.

Is there an Apple person that may give us more insight?

I'm having Genius playlists not creating as well.

What's really interesting is I decided to selectively sync only my Genius Mixes (iTunes 9 + iPhone 3.1) to my iPhone. So ONLY songs that "go well together" are being synced to my iPhone. That's a total of 1625 songs (8.4 GB of music) that iTunes 9 thinks go well together in some fashion or another.

NONE of these songs will be created into a Genius Playlist! Puzzling. I know.

What's more is that any time I try to play a Genius Mix, the iPod app crashes, so I can't even enjoy the songs on my iPhone the way I want. Very disappointed.

For some reason, on certain songs when I try to create a genius playlist it quits out and takes me back to the homescreen. However on my computer genius makes the playlist no problem...anyone know how to fix this?

I am having the exact same problem. It just started happening and I wish I knew why. I performed a sync the other day but don't recall what, besides the standard photos, songs, etc, was updated. Anyone who can help, please do.

don't know for sure, but i switched to manually managing music (and videos) and autofilled all music to the phone, synced, and genius worked again. my best guess is it has something to do with the new genius playlist thing, but i am no computer wiz. hope that helps...

Don't know if this is of any help, but I recently bought a song from the iTunes store (let's hypothetically call it "Africa," by Toto...the choir at my daughter's school was singing it a capella, and did a fine job BTW) and copied it to my iPod Touch. (I manage music manually, FWIW). When I tried to create a genius playlist from "Africa" I got the message "This song does not have enough related songs to create a Genius Playlist." Since I could create a Genius playlist on my computer from "Africa," I figured the problem was I had not first geniused the song on my computer before putting it on the Touch. I deleted it from the Touch, updated Genius on my computer, then copied the song back to the Touch. Voila, as we say on the Serengeti, it worked: Genius playlist on the Touch from "Africa." Lot of effort for a Toto song, I'll grant you, but there was a principle involved....

Same exact issue here, and actually started a topic in another forum about this exact issue. I've had my 32GB 3GS for 3 days and everything seems great except for this.

I have the additional problem that the Genius mixes don't work either. If I go to one, I get "unknown/unknown/unknown" in the play window and either it freezes and I have to click home to get out, or it forces me to home.

*****!

I'll try the manual music thing when I get home. I went to the Apple store today and they had no appointments available for hours and I couldn't wait (didn't know you had to make an appointment to talk to one of those guys). One of the guys in the store suggested I try a full system restore--which isn't what I'd hope for as I really just got this phone.
