iTunes stuck on Genius recommendations

No problem here with either my Mac Mini or G4.

Experiencing the same issue on the iPad iTunes store.

Been having the same problem. Read one of the above messages, it started for me too after clearing Safari history. Just figured it out (a workaround, anyway):

Open a program that will link you into the iTunes store, I used Shazam. Tag a song, then click the tab to 'purchase in itunes'. iTunes will open, you'll get your music selection window on top of iTunes (background may go grey for a moment). Close out the album or song selection, and all should be back to normal.

I think there is a quicker way than needing to use a second app like Shazam. If you are stuck in genius mode in (e.g films), go to an alternative tab (e.g. music) and select a tab that is not genius then quit the iTunes app. When you re-open the app and go back to the original tab that was stuck in 'genius mode' you should find that it has defaulted back to 'featured' and the three buttons at the top have returned and you can browse again. So looks like the key thing here is never to quit the iTunes app in genius mode for any of the sections until Apple fix the bug.

Thank you for this fix. It saved me from throwing my iPad across the room 🙂

How annoying that this still hasn't been fixed.

Same problem here. Will try the fix. Totally annoying bug. And pretty prevalent it seems.

Thanks this worked for me but this is still a very annoying bug that needs fixing ASAP.
