iTunes Match Genius Mixes won't work on iOS devices anymore

Hi,


I had the iTunes Match Genius Mixes running on my Apple TV and iPhone without any problems until yesterday. Since then the iPhone still shows the list of mixes, but no cover art of the contained songs nor does anything happen when I press the play button. On the Apple TV it says that I should first enable Genius in my iTunes on my Mac, but that has already happened.


I tried signing out and in again from iTunes Match several times. The iTunes library load everywhere without problem and all songs are availble but no Genius or Genius Mixes. I also tried disabling iTunes Match on my Mac and turned it on again. Same result. All iOS device does not offer Genius or Genius Mixes anymore.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!

same here. did everything. Even erased my ipad and loaded it up again, turned of genius and match on my macbook and turned them back on, etc. Neither my iPad or AppleTV can do genius mixes.


AppleTV says there are no genius mixes in my itunes library, but genius mixes are there and do work fine on my macbook pro. Just not on my ipad or appletv (I don't use match on my iphone).

A quick google search shows that this has been an issue on and off with itunes match for several years.....


Just had a call from Apple. Suggested I click on one of the Genius Mix play buttons then give the iPhone (or iPad) Home Key two quick presses, then close the music app by sliding it up. Then open the music app again (it took a couple of attempts for it to open). This has apparantly fixed the problem for some users, but it hasn't for me 😠. Don't see how it's supposed to fix them in the AppleTV though...


The adviser is going to seek more advice and call me back.....


It's got to be an Apple Server issue surely: there's no iCloud icon on the Genius Mixes header any more, see: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/tips/comments/downloading-genius-mixes-from-itu nes-match/

I have the same problem on my iphone but not my macbook. Hello, Apple? Are you aware? It would be nice if Apple would acknowldge problems as they happen rather than have their customers frustrated and finding out after hours or days that this is a global apple issue and not individual. The good thing is these forums.
