Any problems with iTunes Radio?

The past two days I've been unable to access iTunes' RADIO function. I get this msg: "An error occured while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection or try again."
Obviously, I *am* connected to the Internet. What's wrong?
I'm still on OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) on a 2009 iMac. I'm good at keeping a "tidy" hard drive; i.e. - organizing in folders, cleaning out junk or old files, emptying trash several times a day, etc.
Thanks for any help -- Cathy

According to the iTunes page:
*iTunes Radio requires iOS 7 or later; OS X v10.7 or later; Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit edition of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8; or Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation).
That said however, I am running Mac OS 10.7.5 and I get the same message as you! I suspect that Apple has done some of their usual "tweaking" and that iTunes Radio now requires that you have iTunes 11 minimum (or possibly Mac OS 10.8).
Yours is probably the fourth topic I've seen on this and none of them have any replys (that I saw) from the iTunes "heavy hitters" listed in the column on the right of the Discussions page.

I've never had any problems with iTunes,

I've never had any problems with iTunes, and one day, without doing anything to it, I tried to open it and it said "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled it countless times and it still keeps giving me that message. I don't know what to do.

Hey grossa2,

Problems with iTunes Radio- Help?

The first few days after the update, I had the iTunes Radio. Then, overnight, it disappeared, the "albums" icon filling the empty space. I looked around for the Radio; it's not in the "more" section, it's not in settings, and I tried many other things, such as multiple hard resets, normal off-then-on resets, turning location services off then on (I'm right in the middle of the US), relocating the app, killing it then restarting it repeatedly, et cetera, but nothing seems to be working. Any idea wha I might be able to do for this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Note- it gives me the option to create a station from the artist or song when listening to music normally, but when I try, it says that it is "unavailable".

Hi sarahdavis0_o,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If neither your iPod or iPhone are being recognized by iTunes when connected, I would recommend the steps in the following article.

Seemingly Impossible Problems with iTunes

I've never had any problems with iTunes until a few months ago, and I've been unable to use the program since. It all started when I upgraded to iTunes 10, and my computer randomly started to freeze every time I tried to open the program. I thought that I would try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, but it definitely hasn't worked out the way I'd planned.
The iTunes 10 installations would cause my computer to freeze, so I thought I would try to go back to iTunes 9, which I had no problems with previously. I followed the uninstall instructions on the Apple Support website, started to install iTunes 9, and my computer freezes every time when "registering iTunes automation server". I can't even get the Task Manager to come up when this happens, so I'm forced to turn my computer off and start over. I tried this again, still no luck. I uninstalled everything, turned off my spyware programs, deleted my temp files... everything. I even deleted the program files today, and I still haven't had any luck.
I have a small fortune invested in iTunes, and I'd really like to get it back up and running before Christmas. I have some new CDs I'd love to put on my iPod, and one of my favorite bands is releasing a limited edition digital box set that you can only get on iTunes that I'd really like to have. I've read that Apple doesn't even know how to fix this problem, and I don't really want to spend $29 for a pointless phone call.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you in advance!

No such luck
I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple programs on my computer, but the installation still freezes at the same spot.
Thank you for the suggestion though.

Has anyone notice some glitches with iTunes Radio?

One problem have had is everytime I close my radio on the background it erases all the songs I added to my wish list. And another problem is that sometimes i will try to add a song to my wishlist and it will restart my iPhone completely like a hard reset.

I've had some problems with iTunes Radio as well. If I add a song to my wishlist then close the app in the backgroud it erases it! Also, if I look at my wish list, it has songs I have added but then it has two white boxes under my songs that I cant get rid of! No matter how many times I delete them they are always there.

The Control A key is not working. I cannot multi-select my songs. I'm not sure if it is the problem with iTunes 10.6.1.7 or my PC settings encounter issues. Also, i cannot find Album Artwork online using iTunes and i cannot select any view form but List.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
Cheers.

You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Hello, i am having problems with itunes store. it wont connect almost as if its hanging, any ideas how to fix this problem

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

Your content is stored locally on your computer, when you update, it will not mess with your content at all.

Any problems with compatibility of update iTunes with OSX 10.7.5

Has anyone noticed any problems with compatibility of updated iTunes with OSX 10.7.5?

Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated.
