ITunes :: Can't Get Radio Streaming From All Categories
Mar 2, 2012
I can't get radio streaming from all categories on iTunes. I keep getting the dialogue box that says, "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later." I've tried rebooting the computer.
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I enter this link in the "open stream" dialogue box, but the stream doesn't play despite the link appearing in my iTunes music list, along with other url's that do work in iTunes. Is there a way to make this work? I assume the iHeart radio link isn't compatible, but the other link?
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.53Ghz Core Duo 500 GB HD
I'd been using iTunes for streaming radio happily until the last few days, when the streams started rebuffering every few seconds, making them practically unplayable.
I have a recent iMac, 4GB of RAM and a broadband connection.
What was the first version of iTunes that can plat AAC radio streams? I use a very old G4 500 MHz powermac to listen to iTunes streaming internet radio, but more and more stations are switching to AAC streams, which the old 10.3 compatible version of iTunes doesn't support and won't play them. The current version of itunes' minimum system requirements is a 1 Ghz G4, so I can't use the current version of iTunes. If I upgrade this machine to OS 10.4, will I be able to install a version of iTunes that plays AAC radio streams?
My sound doesn't work when streaming radio, but only for radio! I usually listen to BBC Radio 1 via their homepage, but suddenly yesterday, the sound disappeared. I tried various other radio streams and they all failed too. All other sound output, ie. youtube, Itunes, DVD player, online games etc work fine.
Would anybody know what's going on?

I am a big rugby fan and like to listen to my team (tigers) play when there not on TV. However this requires real player. Having had a bad experience with this program in the past I am reluctant to install it again. Is there there any plug in I can get for os x and vista so I can listen to the radio without installing real player?
I have a lot of mp4 files; vmovies, TV shows, music video's, everything. But, when I load them into iTunes they all show up under the movies tab, and I can't find a way to move them to different categories.
I just recently started my Itunes account, I noticed that some of the categories are missing like Music, TV shows, Movies, Audiobooks. The only categories present are AppStore, Podcasts and Itunes U. How to add the missing categories?
I some local internet streams which I listen to, when I added them a long time ago I couldn't add them to the itunes radio tab :-( but created a playlist.I would like to have those streams available on my laptop but since there is no "music" it does not sync. Is there a way to do this? It would be nice to have them on the idevices as well but there i just use a radio app.Â
I did a MacBook Pro update last night and now my Itunes radio will not connect. Stuck on "contacting tuning service"Â Did a CME from a solar flare knock out a satellite?

I listen my favorite radio station on Safari. How can I lock in my radio station on iTunes? I want to use my airport express to manage an external loudspeaker.Â
I mean, it really "hangs" as in NOT RESPONDING. And don't go into the "your running it on Win7 on the backside of your MacBook Pro". It typically hangs for 2-5 minutes then "connects" to the station.
I was wondering how can I add a radio station to my itunes or make a quick launch or shortcut instead of opening it in firefox. The website to the radio station is [URL] its an Egyptian radio station the thing is the once you open the website the radio start playing and I cant get the link to the radio.
I just upgraded to itunes 10.6 and find that I can't open radio feeds. I had been having no problems until recently. Before I upgraded I had a couple of occasions of difficulty opening the link but now it is impossible. In my old version of itunes if it couldn't open the link it would indicate that I should try later. Now it just shows the horizontal barber pole and says it is refreshing the category and I can't stop the one I clicked on or start a new one. I got Jazz to open but Classic Rock and others won't open. If I try to open another category it won't stop the refreshing on the previous one.
I work on a G5 with 10.5.8. I checked on Apple's support sight and checked my settings in preferences for firewall and it allows all incoming transmissions, so it shouldn't be a port accessibility issue.
Strangely some of the radio channel in itunes don t load... they just keep in showing the loading message.others times they just work properly is the proplem from my pc or is it from the channel themselves..?
when I go to the Radio section of iTunes and the alternative rock section (this probably happens in other sections as well but alternative is the only thing I listen to...) Anyways, it buffers, plays for about 3 seconds, then buffers again... CONSTANTLY.
