Apple TV 2 shows Playlisted Radio Station Genres under Music.

It's more annoying than anything else, but Apple TV and Apple Remote show Radio Station Genres while browsing Music Genres on my PC library. Naturally, when you select that Genre the either device reports 'No Songs' in the libray.
In order to remember three Internet Radio Stations, I dragged them into a Playlist titled Radio Stations on my PC library. As a result, those 'odd' Genres now show up under Music as described above when using Apple TV to access my library or using Apple Remote on my iPhone to access my library.
I guess the only way to stop seeing those Radio Station Genres is to delete the Radio Station Playlist, but then that sort of defeats the purpose of using that function for when I'm sitting in front of my PC.
Am I missing a simple solution?
Thanks.

Thanks, Gino.
I was thinking that would be the case.
It is odd, however, that when I use Apple Remote to control the Apple TV and use 'Computers' to access my PC library rather than swipe 'Control' (or the Apple TV remote itself), the Music Genres show up correctly; as in without displaying the Radio Station Genres!
It's when I control my PC library directly with Apple Remote or access my PC library with Apple TV that the Radio Station Genres appear under Music.
It does seem a bit inconsistent and a not intuitive.
Oh, well. Thought I'd ask!

Can I create a radio station using the music in my iTunes library?

I have iTunes 12 installed on my 2014 MacBook Pro and late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook. My husband and I share the MacBook and he wants to access my iTunes library because his is empty.
A friend told me that the easiest way to do this in iTunes 12 is to create a radio station using my music in my iTunes library. My iTunes music folder is just over 35GB in size (if that's relevant). Almost all of the music (>95%) is from my CDs that I've copied into iTunes over the years.
I would be really grateful if someone could tell me how I go about doing this because I'm afraid that I haven't been able to find any instructions on just how I go about this.
Cheers

Here are other ways to share your library but it only works if you're both on the same network: Enable Home Sharing under iTunes/File Menu and read the iTunes Help entry for Home Sharing for additional info. It will allow up to 5 computers on your network to play and download items from your iTunes Library. Alternatively, you can enable "Share My Library On My Local Network" under iTunes Preferences which allows up to 5 computers to play any content in your library but without the ability to download them.
I assume you keep your iTunes Library synchronized on both computers. If you have it also on the MacBook, this Apple support document will explain how to share your iTunes Library with multiple users on the same computer. This is by far the easiest and always available without using the network.

After a successful home button repair, I've got a buzzing sound when I make or receive calls. No problem with the speaker as I can listen to online radio stations and my music.

I guess your definition of a "successful repair" is different from most people's.
If you got it serviced by Apple, take it back to them.
If you had it serviced by a 3rd party, Apple won't touch it. Take it back to whoeever fixed it for you.

Auto updating of radio station genre tag

I listen to several radio stations streaming via iTunes. I've made a playlist of them for convenience. However, I don't like it that iTunes automatically updates the genre each time I play a station. Some of them have long, annoying genre's listed (eg: Alternative, Eclectic, Pop, Rock, AAA, Mixed) which shows up in my genre list in my library.
Any tricks on how to prevent automatic updating of the genre tag?
Thanks,
Keith

Dose anyone know if the auto installation of JRE
dependent on entry contained within the J2se tag will
be flexible enought so that the JRE is downloaded from
within the intranets web server instead of from SUN.I have not managed yet to even have a successful autodownload from the Sun web site.
More, the URL from the jnlp spec is different from a recent doc on java.sun.com:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=71021
From what I read from the jnlp spec, section 6.4, the server uses the extension protocol to serve JREs.
So you must write a cgi script or servlet that decodes the extension protocol to find out what version of the JRE for what operating system and what architecture is requested.
I have not tested this. If you manage to confirm that this mechanism works, please tell here in the forum.
Another idea we are playing with is to put the JRE
installer in a .jar file sign it and place it in a
native directory dependent on the platform its
targeting and have the client check the JRE version.Sounds complicated. I believe you will have to use the installer support API of Web Start to achieve this.
Shortcuts, why on a second run, and not default a
first run, on testing on our end users, they cannot
understand after starting the application from the
browser that they need to back and press the web
button again or start web start. (From an interactive
system design point of view - and the studying of our
end users, it would be a lot less confusing for the
end user).IMHO Web Start needs some additional tweaking, before it can be used for deployment for Win32 boxes where users are no admins. At present one must trick, like providing a Java technology based extension installer.

Apple TV - iOS 8 and Radio Station Error

Hello,
I recently updated my two Apple TV's to iOS 8 when the new release came. After doing so, whenever I would play a radio station, any one, it would play for about 10 minutes and then an error would appear on the screen saying "An error occurred loading the content". This happened on both Apple TV's. On one of them, I downgraded the firmware to 6.2.1 and now the radio station plays continuously. I wanted to report this issue so it can hopefully be addressed soon.
Thank you.

If you wish to roll back the update, you need to do the following:
1) Download the firmware you wish to use. I went to ipswdownloader.com/download-apple-tv-ipsw-files.php and selected "Apple TV 3G (2013) 6.2 (11D257c) AppleTV3,2_6.2_11D257c_Restore.ipsw".
2) Using a micro-USB cable, connect the Apple TV to your computer.
3) Load iTunes and select Apple TV once it shows.
4) If you're using a Mac, hold the "Option" key and click the "Restore" button. If you're using Windows, I believe it's the "Shift" button you hold.
5) Locate the IPSW file and then double click on it. This should prompt the firmware downgrade.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Norway radio station for clasical music in iTunes?

Do you know if there is any radio station from Norway for clasical music in iTunes?

Hi Cavittcl,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.

Allowing explicit tracks
iTunes Radio by default is set to play tracks not marked as explicit. To enable explicit tracks, tap the Info button (looks like the letter i in a circle) at the top of the screen from within any station. Tap to turn on Allow Explicit Tracks. Enabling explicit tracks will enable explicit tracks for all radio stations on that device. This setting does not sync to other devices.

Why has my original Apple TV unable to access radio stations on Internet menu?

My original Apple TV has just stopped being able to load any of the stations or even genres at "radio" under the internet pull down. It claims to be updated with O/S 3.0.2. It can load music and photos over the network whose connection tests OK. What happened and how might I fix it?

Apple TV not showing all my iTunes purchases in "Music"

Just got my Apple TV connected, all works fine (syncs with my MacBook iTunes etc) but one annoying thing is that under the "Music" tab, only a small fraction of the music I have purchased over the past few years appears, so that when my MacBook is turned off, I'm limited to those few songs. Any ideas?

The main Movies/TV Shows/Music icons play back either movie rentals/purchases, TV Show purchases or purchased music via the internet.
All the content in iTunes is normally accessed on the LAN using Home Sharing via the Computers icon and its Movies/TV Shows/Music submenus. If iTunes is not running local LAN content can't be accessed.
If much of the music you have is from ripped CDs, MP3s from other sopurces/vendors, it will not appear under the main Music icon unless you have an iTunes Match subscription. I'm not certain that even iTunes Store purchasesd appear under this without iTunes Match but as I have a subscription I can't currently tell.
If you have iTunes Match it's possible all your iTunes library has not been matched as yet as some non-recognised titles need to be uploaded to the cloud.

Adding radio stations to Apple tv

I would like to listen to RTE radio through my apple tv. It doesn't appear in the list, can you advise how I would add it?
Thanks
karl

That depends on which Apple TV you have, adding radio stations to playlists is recognised by the Apple TV 1 but doesn't seem to be by the Apple TV 2. There is no way to add radio stations to those already listed under the radio heading in the internet list.

Radio station manual add and "In Theatre Movie" performance

Hi,
how can I add radio stations to my Apple TV 2 ? Tried to put it in a playlist on my iTunes but I cannot find it on the Apple TV.
On another issue, pre-view streaming of Movies / TV Shows that can be purchased is running OK. I have serious delays (2-3 Minutes) to watch Movie Trailers in the "In theatre now" category. Anyone has similar problems?
Thanks,

With AppleTV1 you used to be able to add radio station URLs manually to itunes and they would then be available on the AppleTV.
With v2 however, as there is no sync, coupled with the fact that radio stations are under Internet not Coputers implies the list is not obtained from iTunes.
Unless there's a way to add them to the AppleTV list manually I can't see how custom stations can be added.
Presumably there's no option to add a URL when adding to Favourites in Internet>Radio?

Radio station list

I downloaded iTunes 8 to this computer and I cannot get any radio stations listed. On my other computers, I have a complete list available for listening. Any ideas why this one will not show any radio stations?

Hello, I've sxactly the same problems, the Radio option appears in the sidebar ma there is any radio list. The internet connection works because I can enter in Itunestore. In my laptop, I've the same Itunes version and i can play radios without any problems. Somebody can help me?

Radio Stations All Gone

I recently updated to iTunes 7.7.1 and now when I go to "Radio", it shows no radio stations at all. The list is totally blank. I can't find any way to refresh the list either (I'm sure previous versions had a Refresh list button...) Any suggestions on how to get radio stations back? Thanks.

OK, I'll partially answer my own question... I've discovered that Radio doesn't work behind a firewall and/or with proxies, which causes the list to show up empty. I'm inside a corporate firewall and have to use proxies to connect to the Web. As there are no apparent provisions for this in iTunes, it's a no-go. Does anyone know how to get Radio in iTunes to work behind a firewall and/or with proxy servers? What port/protocol does it use? Thanks.

Inserting new radio stations

How does one augment Apple's list of classical radio stations by inserting my own favorites, like BBC Radio3, for example. Thank you.
Dell Windows XP

You cannot, that list is regulated by a third party
and has never been updated.
Curses! Thanks for your response. Perhaps Apple might be persuaded revisit this situation so that one may do this effortlessly. Thomas.

ITunes doesnt show radio stations in playlist

I've recently run upgrades on both iTunes (7.6.1) and Quicktime (7.4.1) and now I cannot see any radio stations in the Library. There is nothing at all in the radio window.
Has anyone else experienced this problem. Currently running Tiger 10.4.11.
I've upgraded to Tiger 10.4.11 at home without updating iTunes or Quicktime and there has been no problem.

I noticed the same thing on my radio playlist containing my favorite stations. Not sure if this happened with the latest iTunes update. Have not found a solution other than recreating the list. I am using iTunes 10.6.3 and Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini
