Ideas about "radio tuning error" or am I off to the genius bar?

A few days ago days we got this message when we tried to listen to the radio through iTunes. "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your internet connection, or try again later." The internet connection is fine. It still won't connect. The only thing we did before this was delete a few TV shows from iTunes.

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I had this problem too. I tried adding a firewall entry for iTunes but it made no difference. It turned out to be my http proxy setting. I had changed it to use glimmer but removing glimmer doesn't automatically change it back, and I hadn't thought to check there until iTunes had been failing to connect for a few days.

If the genius tells you another way to fix it, maybe you could post the results here?

Greetings all;



I too am having the same problem, only since updating to iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. I am not trying to use internet radio, nor do i even have any internet radio channels in my playlists. I am trying to use iTunes DJ with my iPhone on a closed network - ie: no internet connection. Same pesky alert that forces a forced quit.


Granted, its true that there is no internet connection, I want it that way. Is there any way to remedy this so I can listen to tunes and control with my iPhone?

Hi,

I have the same problem as I_Betyar. Im throwing a party and I want to run itunes dj so my guests with the remote app on their iphone can pick and choose the sounds! I want to set up an ad hoc network on my mac with no password so everybody can jump straight on it, and i dont really want to tell 100 people my wifi password!!

the only problem is that **** error saying "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your internet connection, or try again later." which freezes my itunes!! does anybody else have any input?? i tried express help and it ***. it wouldnt accept my mac serial number!

Ive searched everywhere and im getting frustrated!! please help!
