iTunes 11.0.2 Constantly Rebuffering Stream

Since I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 it stutters when trying to play sample music. For example during one 30sec stream, it paused 9 times. It will constantly bring up the msg box "Rebuffering Stream". My internet is 12Mbps. I have restarted my MBPR, reset the iTunes cache. I don't see any options for changing the bufffer size. Did not have this problem before the update. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I found this suggestion (below) in the CNET community board and it worked for me. Remember to restart iTunes after you've done this.


"I emailed iTunes tech support and they suggested that I cleared my cache by going into Preferences > Advanced."

I've been having lots of problems streaming internet radio, potentially similar.


Firstly, if I'm streaming to AppleTV, iTunes locks up completely after about 15-30 seconds of streaming audio from internet radio.


If I'm just playing locally, the same issue, but rather than locking up it just shows "Rebuffering Stream" with an empty progress bar. It stays like that until I click "Stop".


Very strange.

YES!, same issue since the upgrade..........

Had an *** full of Apple tweaking what used to work and now just ****!


I don't mind downloading everything I listen to but even that the content Nazis have ****** in the ***. Apple thinks they know when I have downloaded to much and stop downloading. Then I jump in my car for a 3 hour drive after a quick sync on my iPhone and guess what, I have 30 minutes of the last podcast I was listing to and no new content because iTunes still does not obey my request to NEVER--hear me idiots at Apple--never stop downloading.


1) I have 5 terabytes (YES WITH A "T") of drive space dedicated media with only 20% utilization. Don't worry about my drive space.


2) Fix the **** streaming if you are not going to just let me download as desired.


3) Invent something new rather than ******* what used to work just fine in the ***. How is your 2015 Mac book with no USB doing. Gold spray paint was a nice touch [extreme sarcasm].


I'm switching to black berry in protest.....
