Q: 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.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

    You can find consolation when all the PC users out there are having their computers attacked by viruses.

    Well I spoke too soon. It worked last night at home, but at work...nope. Home and work both have up-to-date iTunes and same OS.

    Well, I took the advice of a few commentors on this forum and kept hitting the Radio button and kept getting the error message, but it did work after the 5th try. I quit it and tried to relaunch and got the same error, and then after the 7th try I got it. So there is some truth in those comments, it worked for me. It's still not a solution, but at least I can still listen to the radio.

    It's working for the most part now. I'm getting a few errors, but i've changed from the different genres and it seems to be working

    I have tried clicking on genres dozens of times (literally) and it's not having an effect here.

    No question it's Apple's fault, they're going to deny it until they fix it!

    If they bother to spend the effort to fix it you mean.

     

    The biitch of the matter is.....I don't really give a crap about internet radio on iTunes.  If it disappeared tonight, I'd probably not even know or care. 

     

    What REALLY is upsetting is that I use the Apple Remote app and every time it makes the connection with iTunes it causes iTunes to download the whole internet radio inventory....which of course causes it to crap out because of this failure.

     

    If I could find a way to just turn off or outright remove Radio from iTunes (and therefore not have to go through this song and dance), I'd be a happy camper.

     

    Thanks Apple....force more crap down my throat that I neither want nor need.

    That's easy enough Simon.

     

    iTunes Preferences - Parental - and check Radio.

    Yeah....I thought so too.  Alas, it makes no difference.

     

    Even with Radio disabled in the Parental Prefs, when Remote handshakes with iTunes it still triggers a scan with the tuning service to download the Radio inventory. 

     

    Yet another example of Apple being to lazy to code something properly.

    FFS! How the **** can you screw up simple things like grabbing info form an xml list to display radio stations... They should stop hiring monkeys and interns and let the pros get back to work :S

    It's not working again. If you get a station you like, be sure to drag it on the sidebar. The stations still work just not the listings.

    Half the problem is getting the listings to come up, the other half,( if you already dragged it to the sidebar) is that iTunes keeps dropping the connection!!! I have three stations set up now in a play list, after 2 years of listening to the same station, it now drops in constantly, shipping to the next station, which also drops...

    iTunes was upgraded... It another classic Apple upgrade/screwup.

    Are there any other alternative applications for internet radio listening?  I have tunein radio on my iPhone which I love.  Is there a desktop allication similar?
