RADIO MISSING IN ITUNES 11

I have a mac mini running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 In iTunes, the radio button does not show up anywhere. I did go to preferences and select podcast's and radio, (i checked them all) and the radio does not show up in the side bar or at the bottom as the support documents say it should. what's up or is iTunes blocking internet streaming?

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Go to iTunes preferences>general, in the section Show: click the radio box,click OK this should give you the radio button on the top, like the screen shot posted previously by BflatBlues.

Hope this helps.

Having a similar issue. I updated itunes today and it reports that the latest version of iTunes is installed (11.1), but as you can see in the screenshot, there is no radio tab or button:

I have checked all available options in preferences. There is only an option for "Internet Radio," not simply "Radio" as shown in sanjampet's screenshot.


Any ideas?

Hey ffejmi,


It sounds like you might have been in the same boat as me. I had iTunes Radio working fine for several days on my 3 year old MBP running OS 10.8.4, then it seems like it was perhaps on launch date of iOS 7 that I lost it. Just like you, I was listening to it, it suddenly stopped working and the button disappeared after a few minutes of clicking around trying to get it back on.


I followed through this whole thread trying to turn on "Internet Radio" in Preferences and clicking the "iTunes Radio" link in the store to no avail. Then I remembered I was running iTunes 11.1 beta.


So I tried just downloading the installer for the latest version from Apple.com (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/), ran the install and voilá, iTunes Radio is back on and running.


Hope this works for those that are running the latest OS that are having the issue.

I AM in the US, fresh update to 11.1, and no Radio.


In preferences, I see only the old check box for "Internet Radio," no box for "Radio." And all I see in the iTunes browser is "Internet" with the old streaming radio stations.


Of course, Virginia may have suceeded from the Union and I just didn't hear about it... it's been a busy day. 😉

I'm experiencing the same problem. My laptop iTunes app shows the "Radio" button but my Mac Mini

iTunes app only shows "Internet". I'm running iTunes version 11.1 on both devices. I didn't have to select

anything for the "Radio" button to display on my laptop iTunes.


So, does anyone know the solution? And as I remember Virginia is still part of the USA along with
Texas!

I figured out how to get back if your pc iTunes was previously displaying "Radio".


Just go to the iTunes Store/home page and over to the right side you'll see a Quick Links list.

Just click on "iTunes Radio" and that will redisplay the Radio button.

This doesn't work for me. Nothing happens.

I don't think so...I have itunes 11.1 and it says INTERNET RADIO next to Match tab...but I don't think that's the one...as it's been there since well for years in older versions of itunes for windows and mac...I've had both recently.right now I only have the mac left.😕

I have a US iTuns account (incl Match) and I dont see the radio button. I do not see the radio button in the preferences either.

There is a quick link in the music store for Radio which takes me to my music library..

Has anyone tried accessing radio through the store?

Same here....I think I replied to you earlier, without an answer sorry, still have no answer but looking closer at your screenshot I have THE SAME but see that tab that says INTERNET...well when I click on it it gives me only a text list of radio genres then click further it drops down more menu..but it's text...just like the OLD ITUNES...ain't no pretty pictures or album art like in the HYPE articles braggin about Oooh iTunes Radio...if this is it it's crap...though it can't be, I still don't know I am calling Applecare in the morning when they open...perhaps after I may have an answer I hope and if so if I have time to remember I will gladly post you an answer.
