Genius results can't be updated right now. The network connection was lost.

Hi,


Ive been trying to upload some albums to my iCloud Music library, however it keeps failing and giving me this error. Ive attempted this on both my MacBook Pro (running Mojave) and on my windows 10 desktop, both keep giving this error when attempting to upload songs to my iCloud music library.


On my desktop I've done a clean install of the iTunes app (from the windows store) and can no longer gain access to my iCloud music library albums or playlists as it gives me the error.


There are no problems with my internet connection on either wifi or through ethernet on either of my computers.


Also interesting to note is that this only seems to affect the desktop versions. All of my iOS devices are unaffected.


MacBook Pro Retina

Same problem here on Windows 10 platform. Itunes works fine as a musicplayer on iphone and ipad. It's strictly a genius match trying to upload songs to icloud library issue.

Interestingly enough if you make a purchase from the itunes store it downloads to your library perfectly fine. It's only trying to upload your own material where the genius message occurs. I use uploads to itunes for teaching music education so I need this to work. Network connections on my end and everything else is fine. Definitely a problem on Apple's end. I always look at this type of an

issue as one step closer to try to force consumers into purchasing Apple Music and closing the door on locker room storage of music much like Amazon has done..

Exact same issue. I opened a case with Support a few hours ago, and at that time they indicated I was the only who had reported the issue, but while I was talking to the tech, she discovered the same problem on her mac. I use iTunes Match, and right now, if I click on the iCloud Music Library button under General Settings (it keeps getting unselected when the Genius results error appears) it marks my entire library for Matching.....all 108,000 entries. I fear that once the original problem gets fixed, I'm going to waiting a very long time for my library to get re-synced with iTunes Match........

I have the same issue. Logged out and back in, restarted my computer, re-authorized my computer and all nothing. From the looks of the comments, it does sound like an issue on Apple's end. I use icloud music library for my music for dance class. It's so convenient to edit music, save it and have it on all devices. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

I'm so glad I saw this thread. I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem all day on 4/6/2019 (and now part of the night). I bought a new iPhone on Friday and was trying to sync everything up and I thought I had done something wrong. Same error message over and over: "Genius results can't be updated right now. The network connection was reset."


REALLY frustrating but glad to know it's not just me. Hopefully Apple will figure out what's going on soon.
