ITunes Radio temporarily unavailable?

My iTunes Radio has been working great until yesterday!

Stepped away from my wifi and turned on the radio.

iOS asked me if I wanted to use cellular data

and I said yes!

I didn't work! Got back on wifi and now the radio

is temporarily unavailable!

I can't get it to work!


I've turned use cellular data off, and on and off again.

Tried hard resetting the phone with power button+home button

I've tried restarting the network settings


Nothing works!

Does anybody have a fix for this?


I'm on an iphone 5 running ios7


Thanks

Lizzy

iPhone 5, iOS 7

I did everything to fix this as well.


Finally I asked seri "radio". Seri told me I had to be signed in to use the radio.


So I went to settings...I WAS signed in!


So I signed OUT. Then signed back in.


Works great now.


Good Luck

I ended up having to wipe and setup as new phone and all is well now. Talked to apple support and the guy didn't really know what was causing it. I signed in with a different Apple ID and it worked but after signing in with my normal Apple ID it stopped again. He thought it was something with my Account and said when I set it up as new iTunes see's it as a new device and works ok

I had the same issues with iPad itunes radio. I called and was transfered to a senior advisor at Apple who has cheerful and knowledgable but couldn't fix it. I searched around my devices and came across something that happened to work. Without explaining too much of my situation, here is what worked for me.


Attach iPad to computer with caple, open itunes.


In the Summary tab, under Options, check the box "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi"


Voila.


I've read many forums with users who offered a fix, but it didn't work for me. If this doesn't work for you, I apologize. This is my first post in Apple forums. Perhaps there's another setting I already have configured that needs to work in conjunction with this.

So it only worked for one day. Turns out that was a coincidence, and after doing a complete restore, seems like it's a hardware issue. And Apple is still working on resolving my issue. I also found out that you cannot delete posts on these discussion boards. So instead of just teasing you guys, I have to plague you with an apology. Whatever...

Someone else posted a response that fixed my issue.


The problem was changing my time in settings so I could advance in Candy Crush. Apple didn't seem to be aware of this.


I have Apple TV, an iMac, iPhone, MacBook Pro, and an iPad. Only device with the issue was the Only device I changed the time on, my iPad is the only one with Candy Crush. How stupid.

This is such an annoying problem. It constantly happens to the main station that I have. For whatever reason clicking it in iOS on my iphone yields "station currently unavailable", however if I load up itunes it plays just fine. I'm actually kind of suspecting it has something to do with the number of "play more like this" or "never play this".


I don't know why I think that. One of the times I got the station to start working again I had deleted a few songs out of "never play this". Of course the next several songs it was playing were ones I immediately added back to that list.


So far itunes radio is really not a good competitor to pandora due to these problems.
