Cannot listen to BBC radio on my Macbook.

I'm a new migrant from Windows. I always used to be able to listen to BBC Radio. Not anymore. Can anyone help? My OS is Tiger - current version. I have a current version of Real Player which has been 'automatically' configured to work (?).
Also, does anyone know how to save a picture from a web page. Seems so simple, yet I can't find anywhere that explains how to do this. (No right click with a Mac , of course).

PeterUK, Welcome to the discussion area!
I'm not sure why you posted in this area. This area if for discussing the AirPort Express (AX) and wireless networking.
You should post your question in the OS X or MacBook discussion area.

Listening to BBC Radio

Is there anyway of listening to BBC radio through itunes?
I have tried to use BBC feeds through realplayer but i can't get it to work, it just keeps timing out, even with the newest real 10 and searching the help pages.
Wondered if I could avoid other software and use itunes.
IMAC G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for that, I have loaded Steam, it seems to work but I can't get any music, all I get is the error.
RealPlayer: Connection to server has timed out.
You may be experiencing network problems.

This is the same when I try to listen direct from the BBC. Any ideas what is wrong? Could be my settings??

Updated player and now cannot listen to internet radio stations - why ?

Updated to 14.0.0.145 the other day and now cannot listen to internet radio stations that worked fine before updating ( WABC , WMAL , KSFO ) . Programs won't download . WMAL's podcast does work , though . No trouble with Youtube , etc...
I have Windows 7 and IE 10 .
Can anybody help ?
Thanks in advance .

Each updated version of Flash Player includes important security updates. You really want to be running the latest version of Flash Player.
I'm also able to play these streams with no problem. Have you rebooted since you upgraded? It's always a good first step for mysterious problems.
If that doesn't work, I'd Uninstall Flash Player | Windows and then do a fresh install from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer before considering downgrading. That's an unwise course of action.

How to listen to BBC radio on the Power PC

It seems that the latest upgrade to BBC iPlayer requires a version of Flash Player that doesn't play on Power PC Macs. What a spon. The Power PC still works fine and isn't that old.
Does anyone know a workround to listen to BBC radio?

Where are you playing from?
iTunes Radio? or a website?
From websites. The problem doesn't seem to happen when I use iTunes but it doesn't seem that every station's internet can be opened through iTunes. Or is there a way in fact to do that?

I want to listen to BBC radio on my macbook

get this message when I try to listen;
The page “BBC iPlayer - Radio” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I don´t understand what that means.....can anybody translate for me? I don´t know what MIME is or a plug-in.
Thanks

Plug-ins let your browser handle special kinds of content such as streaming video and audio. MIME types are a geeky shorthand for various types of content -- and I agree that it's frustrating when your computer refers to acronyms and other technical jargon so casually!
The good news is I was able to get the BBC Radio iPlayer to work fine, so it's not a Mac-compatibility issue. You just need the proper plug-ins. You'll want both the free Flip4Mac (Windows Media) plug-in and the free Real Player plug-in.

Listening to BBC radio stream

Hi
I live in Bangkok and like to listen to the BBC radio 5 web stream while driving around town.
Currently I'm using WunderRadio but I was wondering if anyone would recommend different radio streaming software?
Thanks
Mick

Hi BkkMick,
My app (yes, I'm the developer, and I will get paid if you buy my app) ooTunes Radio has many of the BBC streams. However, only those that are available in windows media audio (WMA format) will work in the apps that support wma format. ooTunes Radio (my app), Wunder, pocket tunes and FStream (a free app) all support wma audio streams. I have the BBC 5 live and BBC 5 sports xtra streams already in the built in database and they work great. The full list of stations compatible with my app is here: http://ootunes.com/s/ though there are a few BBC streams there that only work in the UK (they are labeled that way). Good Luck!
Steve

Cannot listen to online radio streaming using Windows Media Player

Online radio websites that use Windows Media Player - opens up the player in new window but instead of buffering, says that it is playing but no output/sound. Definitely not security/pop up/firewall issue. Windows Media Player works fine playing CDs etc.

Hi there,
so, you definitively have a machine whichs plays sound and you can establish a internetconnection. I think its a pure mediaplayer problem (softwareproblem).
You have the following options:
1. Reinstall your mediaplayer or update it.
2. install another mediaplayer software like winamp or some other jukebox
3. ..no further options
Give some feedback, so I can maybe help you with your problem. ;)
Cheers

BBC Radio iPlayerwill not work with latest version of Firefox.

I have updated all necessary software (Flashplayer, etc.) and am forced to use Internet Explorer to listen to BBC Radio. Earlier versions of Firefox do not have this problem. I am not a computer programer, just a user. I have used Firefox for years and been able to listened to BBC Radio for years. I've read all the advice on various Firefox fora and not found anything useful in solving this problem. It seems to be a problem intrinsic to the latest version of Firefox itself. Will this problem be fixed in the near future? It seems to have been going on for the better part of a year in both the US and UK. If not, why not?
My expertise is in chemistry, not computers. I need a browser that works. I'd like that browser to be Firefox, but I don't have any more time to spend on trying to fix this problem. Using two different browsers is not working for me. Please fix this.

Before I suggest you to revert back to Firefox 28.
Try this
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Anyone else getting interference, crackle, whistling noise on BBC radio streams?

I have been listening to BBC Radio on iTunes for years - and it has had its issues - but generally pretty solid.
I have recently noticed a background whistling/whine/crackle in the background. I don't get it on iPlayer or the live web stream from the BBC, but with the iTunes stream I get it on all my PC's and Mac in the house.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Or is anyone having the same issue?
Not sure if its something wrong with my LAN or other local issue. Any insight much appreciated.
Andy

Pretty sure this is the same issue...
iTunes - Strong noise since update

BBC Radio 4 Widget

Hi
I am located in Seattle WA USA. I have set up a wireless network using AirPort Express. I can listen to BBC radio 4 on the computer by means of the BBC4 widget. I can stream (CD & iTunes) music over the wireless network however, I can not stream BBC radio 4 over the network using the BBC4 widget. Anybody have an idea as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

I believe that iTunes is the only program that can currently stream using AirTunes over AirPort Express. Instead of using the widget you would need to be receiving the BBC stream with iTunes to get what you want to work.

Anyone know what happened to BBC Radio 2? Doesn't work on Apple TV anymore

I would listen to BBC Radio 2 all day, every day, but now an error message comes up saying "an error occurred loading this content". Does anyone know who I can contact with regards to this?
Thanks in advance

Try pulling the power on your Apple TV and your Router then restart them.
