iOS 5.1 - Still No Genius Mixes

I see that the Genius has returned on iPhone for iTunes Match users who have upgraded to iOS 5.1. - Great.

Genius Mixes aren't showing up on my iPhone though, despite being explicitly mentioned in the iOS 5.1 release notes. I've tried updating iTunes Match and iTunes Genius via iTunes 6 and re-syncing my iPhone, but Genius Mixes stubbornly refuse to join the party.


Anything else I can try?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

I also have this problem with a strange twist. On my old iPhone 3G also with iOS5.1, that is not set for Match, which I use as an iPod, also gives my the "Try Again..." message when I try to create a Genius playlist. In addition, it doesnt see all the Genius mixes I've made on my MBPro. However, the 4s reads all of them fine. So I can make 'em on my computer, the cloud sends them to my iPhone 4S, but not to my 3G (as it's not Cloud enabled), but I can't create them on any of my phones. Where's the fix?

Same here. Nothing appears on my iPad and iPhone.


And on my Apple TV which has been updated to 5.0, there is a menu option for Genius Mixes but it says "Genius Is Not Available. There are no Genius Mixes in your iTunes Library." If I use Home Sharing instead of iCloud, Genius Mixes work.


Though if I use Home Sharing on my iPhone, Genius Mixes still won't appear.


Even turning off Genius in iTunes on my Mac (which seems to be only possible now by fully turning off iTunes Match) and turning it back on, nothing.


Must be a bug. Oh well, at least Genius playlists work.

Same problems as everyone else is mentioning.


I get the option to make a Genius playlist on my iPhone 4 iOS 5.1, but always get the error that there aren't enough songs to make one (my library is modest, over 6000 tracks). This option doesn't appear on my iPad 2 iOS 5.1.


Most importantly to me though, Genius Mixes are missing from both devices. Been trying for days to get them working, but it's futile!
