You're right, these fixes are speculation. It would be very handy to get a more detailed error message :) I'll tell you why I think this was the solution for me: I'd been trying to activate genius several times a day for about 4 days when I came across this "fix". I deleted all the audio streams I could find and tried again but still got the error. I then found that I'd missed a stream, deleted it, tried again, and the process went through first time. I'm wondering if there are actually several different problems tied up in the 4010 error though, given that this didn't work for you.

I suspect that the server is just under tremendous load right now -- but all of these "fixes" are just speculation at this point...

I can't promise to know the answers, but perhaps I can clarify if I've left anything unclear :) Don’t forget, if you have any questions you can post them here.
