Itunes radio error message.

? It is an incorrect assumption that it is working every 5th try. Have no clue how you arrived at that since some open up as usual, others after a try or two and others not t all.

My Apply TV works on all Genres but sometimes I prefer using my puter's Bose speakers for the music rather than through my surround system.

Also got problems in the Netherlands.

I'm using iTunes 10.5.3. Mac OS 10.7.3

Waiting for the solution

Oeps i was to quick.

Some stil works:

Hip-Hop, Country, Sport, 80 flashback but the rest stays stil.

No. It doesn't work every so often with mine. Yours might. Some of my genres do not open up at all. And it is not sporadic with mine. It is consistent.

Not working here in the Great state of Georgia.................

Unable to get mine to open genres at all. Have tried multiple times in a row on multiple genres throughout the day. 10.7.1, iTunes 10.5.3.

Have been experiencing this problem since at least 3:45 PM Eastern Standard Time. OS X 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.5.3

I find it odd that no one from Apple has made a statement or sent us messages.

I don't. Apple is not known for publicizing. The last time I saw something similar to this, people were posting and making the same sorts of comments, then about a week later the issue cleared up. No indication of acknowledgement there was an issue, what the issue was, or that it had been cleared up. That's just the way they operate.

Also getting tis error in North Carolina.

I DON'T WANT to listen to interent radio. However, I run a headless audio server based on iTunes as the database (actual play is through another app) all controlled by the Remote app.

Every time the Remote app makes a new connection with iTunes, it tries to refresh the Internet Radio stations....this error comes up....and the whole system is worthless until I get up, open Screen Sharing and dismiss the ****** dialog box.

This is a few clicks beyond aggravating.

Hey Apple....how about fixing your buggy software???

Same here in the Netherlands, strangly enough, 'Ambient' with 170 streams is the only one that works.

Hello,

I posted this successful workaround in the in the iTunes for Windows section about the same error, but it works fine for Mac too. Can't leave you guys hanging!

Clicking this link gives you all the genres of iTunes Radio:

http://pri.kts-af.net/xml/index.xml?sid=09A05772824906D82E3679D21CB1158B&tuning_ id=1

Each genre has a unique number as menu_id in the XML, for example 70's Radio has 10037.

<kb:menu_record>

<kb:name>'70s Retro</kb:name>

<kb:menu_id>10037</kb:menu_id>

<kb:pass_count>5</kb:pass_count>

</kb:menu_record>

Use the link below, replacing tuning_id=10037 with the genre you want to find from the previous link.

http://pri.kts-af.net/xml/index.xml?sid=09A05772824906D82E3679D21CB1158B&tuning_ id=10037&show_field[]=description&show_field[]=long_description&show_field[]=num_users&show_field[] =max_users

This will show you what iTunes would have refreshed if it hadn't come back with an error.

Each station has a XML entry:

<kb:station_record><kb:esid>2d4a269f369b4a3013b6f8a68b2a1654</kb:esid>

<kb:station>#Musik.Goldies on RauteMusik.FM</kb:station>

<kb:description>#Musik.Goldies - 24/7 hours open - Old but Gold!</kb:description>

<kb:station_url_record>

<kb:url_no>1</kb:url_no>

<kb:url>http://pri.kts-af.net/redir/index.pls?esid=2d4a269f369b4a3013b6f8a68b2a1654&url_ no=1&client_id=7&uid=68efed4d03ec7e45fd3978262c107180&clicksrc=xml</kb:url>

<kb:status_code>A</kb:status_code>

<kb:bandwidth_kbps>128</kb:bandwidth_kbps>

<kb:url_strength>9</kb:url_strength>

</kb:station_url_record>

</kb:station_record>

Simply copy out the URL in the <kb:url> tags and paste into your favourite web browser. It will prompt you to open iTunes or a similar program. Open with iTunes and you're done!

Not the prettiest workaround, but it works fine.

Cheers!

Bill.

I too only have the Ambient stations, nothing else. Let's get on this Apple ... we're waiting ....

Yes, myself also. I am using vers 10.5.3 itunes with 10.6.8 snow leopard. Listen to itunes radio everyday, and suddenly began receiving error message. Location- USA/FL.
