Bought itunes match - "Genius results can’t be updated because the iTunes Store doesn’t recognize your iTunes library. I get the error message-> Genius results can’t be updated because the iTunes Store doesn’t recognize your iTunes library

The directions are to "Please choose File > Library > Turn Off Genius to turn off Genius, then turn it back on."


There are no toggling options under Muisc > File > Library.


I tried signing in and out - no help.


Not helpful.
