Itunes radio error message.

Radio worked fine...now it does not.

Get the following error message:

An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later.


No changes to any network settings. No changes to anything. Internet working perfectly. Itunes store working perfectly. Radio worked fine everyday since I got this machine and now get this error message.

I can pinpoint exact time when it started. I was listening to radio yesterday, but at 3pm ( I am in USA ) program stopped. What was interesting that I still could get some other stantions. But when I restarted iTunes, I thought it should fix it, I could not get back into radio at all. I wonder what could it be ? It has been 21 hours for me. It is a long time to work on simple hick up.

I've been getting the same error over the past few days on my Internet Radio stations. The stations are not down because for the ones for which I have a URL I can play directly through iTunes but I cannot open up folders like "Adult Contemporary" or "Alternative Rock". I hope Apple reads these posts and they are not all out spending their millions.

The story is the same here, Toronto.

No changes to network configuration, or anything else. I made the mistake of deleting the 'playlist' I had for access to the radio stream I usually listen to. Now, due to this error, can't re-establish it.

Hey Apple: Where are you while all of this is happening to your faithful ?

It would be nice to know you're listening . . . doing something.



Currently listening to radio feeds in Chrome.

I have iTunes 10.5.3.


There are all sorts of crazy "fixes" and I've tried a few but none work. It's obviously a bug in one of the new upgrades. Not every Genre gets the error message. Some get the error message every time, like Adult Contemporary, which is, unfortunately, my favorite. Some open up after a couple of tries and some open up on the first try. Go figure.
