    Well, I guess you dont enough songs in your library. It only made 2 mixes for me (a max of 12 are possible). To create mixes, it will need a lot of similar songs.

    In iTunes go to Store>Turn Off Genius

    Then turn Genius back on and mixes should be activated; I had the same problem as you and those steps fixed it for me.

    Hello, I have 512 songs, and many albums from the same artists, a lot of music clasified as "rock" so it shouldn't have that problem...
    I tryed that of turning genius off and then on and didn't work.
    Will try again and tell you.
    I wrote an e-mail to apple and they told me that they don't know the cause of that issue but they alredy know about it, they will tell me the solution when they have it.
    I will tell you if no one finds it before.
    thanks!

    That sucks.... Do all your songs hve the right album and artist name etc. on them? Maybe that's a factor of this.
