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.
This morning I opened iTunes and all I got was a little sound box that let me play a preselected piece from my library, but I can no longer see my library. All my choices under the file drop down menu are grayed out. "Library" is active, but the only choices are "organize," "export" "import." I can't even get the sidebar that lets me open my iTunes radio stations. I just upgraded to version 10 to see if that was the problem, but to no avail.
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 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 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.

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.
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?

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.
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.
iTunes doesn't seem to play WMA streams. I saw some info on the net about saving the stream in Quicktime as a .mov and then dragging the file to the iTunes library, but trying to save the stream in Quicktime just produces a 'Saving' progress bar which progresses at a glacial pace - I think it would never actually finish. Another method mentioned using Flip4Mac but it may be referring to an earlier version as the Preferences panel is different to that mentioned in the instructions (which are a few years old).
So, are there any other ways around this? I'd like to be able to drag the streams into my 'various Radio stations' folder so I can treat it like an mp3 stream.
I have updated to the latest version of iTunes and, the internet radio connection worked for a couple of days. Now, when I click on the arrow/triangle to the left of the radio category that I want (and any other in the list, I've found), iTunes just sits and churns trying to connect to the radion tuning service. For instance, if I want the News/Talk Radio category, the message displayed is "Contacting tuning service...Refreshing News/Talk radio". And nothing happens. It never connects. Ever. I have tried all the usual things: restarting iTunes, restarting my computer (MacBook), checking the internet connection (absolutely no problem there), etc.
