Creating a new iTunes Radio station? iPhone 4S?

Every time I try to create a new iTunes Radio station it tells me "Unable to Create Station. There was a problem creating this station. Try again later." I've tried several different times with several different genres. I was wondering is it because I have a 4S and that maybe this creating new stations feature wasn't available for iPhone 4S? I really don't know.
All of the default stations work fine. I just can't create a new one.
And sometimes when I do attempt to create a new one, I can hear short clips of a song playing on the station, but then it quickly stops & tells me that it is unable to create the station.
I hope I put this question in the correct category. I apologize if I didn't. Thanks in advance for any helpful answers! :)

I have just resolved this issue by signing out of iTunes in settings, powering off my iPhone, powering back on, and then signing back into iTunes. YAY :)
Hope this helps anyone with the same problem!

Anybody having issues with custom iTunes Radio Stations you've created not being available?

Created a custom iTunes Radio station today with about 20 artists. Able to access it on my iMac and my Apple TV but not my iPhone (it shows but nothing happens when I try to play it).

Thanks for your reply. However I logged into the FTP client on godaddy and its showing an images folder and showing the three images listed in there.

How do I find my Itunes radio station? I am a new station.

How do I find my NEW Itunes radio station in internet radio listings?
I have listeners on my stream and they are using the Itunes player.
But I can't find ncirradio.com in ANY catagory
Thanks

Again, please, how did you submit the listing request to Apple? It's entirely possible for people to get to your stream using iTunes without it being listed in the Tuner list. All they have to do is download the itunes.pls file from your site and double-click it and they'll be listening via iTunes, just as I just did.
Regards.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

Will all my apps delete if i create a new itunes account on my iphone 4???

If i create a new itunes account not on the computer but directly on my iphone- that is log out my itunes account on my iphone and create new one and use that new account to download an app will the rest of my apps delete before i even sync it to my computer? If later i sync it to my computer then will it delete.
Also it would be helpful if you could name some things to avoid all my apps being deleted.

I have three different accounts and at some time or another have bought apps with them all. If there is an update the Iphone automatically asks me to login with the appropriate credentials to update. They all live happily on Itunes and I can log in and out on Itunes as well with no ill effects.

Hard Drive crash, creating a new iTunes Library from my iPhone

Hi,
My hard drive crashed with my iPhone back up and all my pictures, music etc. I have no back up.
I need now to make sure my iPhone is backed up and get my photo's off the phone. So I have created a new iTunes and iPhoto file and copied the pictures across. But when going through the options for my iPhone in iTunes, I am fearful of wiping the information on my phone. It does not appear I can pull the information from my iPhone to my iTunes account, instead my phone will be wiped and the non existant music on my iTunes account wil replace my collection...
I understand the need to protect against priracy, but come on, the phone has the same serial number!!
How to I get around this and create a back up without deleting stuff?
Thanks

Hi,
I am about to do this (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2584477?start=15&tstart=0), but having lost all my photo's on my old hard drive, I am afraid I will lose them on my iPhone!
Can someone tell me if the 'Library' photo's where kept as well as the 'Camera Roll' photo's?
I cannot figure out if the photo's from the 'Library' (on the phone) have been included in the back-up.
Thanks

Hi,
It sounds like there may be some disconnect between the phone and the computer. Could be a number of things going on, but one way I've been able to fix this issue on several occasions is by completely removing all of the music from the iPhone (Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage > Music > swipe 'All Songs' to the left and tap 'Delete') and then re-syncing it from iTunes all at once. Be sure to disconnect your phone from the computer and close iTunes first. Keep in mind that any songs that are on the phone but are NOT in the iTunes library will not be synced over after you delete them from the phone. If the songs on the phone were purchased from the iTunes Store you can transfer them to the computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to iTunes then selecting File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from [user's] iPhone.
After deleting all songs from the phone, go back into Settings and check the music storage again to make sure everything was deleted. If the 'Music' app is not listed anymore, then you should be good to go. Just to be sure, you can also check the Music app itself and make sure no songs appear there (if songs appear with cloud icons next to them, turn off 'Show All Songs' in Settings > Music and then check the Music app again -- no songs should appear).
Once you're absolutely sure all songs have been removed from the phone, restart the iPhone, plug it back into the computer, and let iTunes sync. Give it time to sync everything over at once and make sure the sync doesn't get interrupted. Everything you've set to sync should sync over properly.
If it still doesn't sync, there may be a corrupted file in the iOS installation on the phone or in the iTunes installation on the computer. It's more likely that the issue is in the phone's software, especially if you ever installed an iOS update over Wi-Fi (through the Settings app). I'd recommend making an iTunes backup and restoring the phone to factory settings through iTunes. Then set the iPhone up as a new iPhone and test the syncing -- the playlist should sync over properly. If not, Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support. Then test again.
Once you get the syncing working with the phone set up as new, restore the phone from your iTunes backup and test the syncing again. Now that the iOS files have been reinstalled, hopefully the corruption is gone! If it still doesn't sync properly, the corruption may be somewhere else (in a song in the playlist, in some app data in the backup, etc.). That could be harder to pinpoint, but don't worry about that for now. Start simple.
Good luck!

If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to it will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new itunes?

Do not create a new iTunes account... accounts cannot be merged.
Install iTunes on the new computer.
Syncing of iDevices does not import content to a computer, the sync is one way from computer to iDevice.

Same 10 pieces keep streaming on iTunes radio station.

Created a station on new itunes radio. After 10 songs or so, it began repeating the same selections. Is there a fix. I was listening on iPhone with iOS7.

I just came across the following... going to give it a try to mix up the mix a bit more...
http://www.stereogum.com/1482491/first-impressions-of-itunes-radio/news/
"Theoretically, the coolest feature on iTunes Radio is a tuner bar that allows you to program the station for “Hits,” “Variety,” or “Discovery.”"
To access the "tuner bar", start playing a station then click the "circled i" at the top of the screen.
Looks like it's worth a shot.

ITunes radio "Station Unavailable" Try again.

Some iTunes radio channels on my iPhone 5S appear with the following message "iTunes radio "Station Unavailable" Try again." I tried the same stations on my MacBook pro and iPhone 5C and they work just fine. I hard reset my phone, removed all the channels, and singed out and in of iTunes, but the problem still persist. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi RamziB,
Happy New Year! If you get the "Station Unavailable" message while listening to iTunes Radio, try the following:
1) Close the Music app
2) Restart the iPhone
This will reset the connection between your device and the iTunes Store.

How to edit iTune radio station ?

I am only getting the option to "add to wish list". I can skip, never play song again, or like a song. I reinstalled iTunes software, shut matching down & restarted.

Hello ajm_style,
If you are not seeing the option to edit your iTunes radio station, take a look at the article below and scroll down to the Edit your station section and it should give the visuals of what you are looking for when it comes to editing the station that you created
Use iTunes Radio on your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV

ITunes keeps creating a new iTunes Library instead of going to my actual iTunes Library on my external drive.

My old computer died.
Luckily, my iTunes library is stored on an external drive.
My new machine is Windows 8 and my old machine was Vista, but I don't think that should cause any problem.
When I run iTunes, it comes up like a fresh install on a new machine... every time. By default, it creates an iTunes folder in my local drive and as such, has no music in and is a 100% blank slate.
When I point it to my external drive, and then import the library, it does it. All my music shows up -- after a long time, but it all shows up.
If I shut down iTunes or reboot, everything goes back to zero again.
The most disturbing thing about this is that I can't back up properly, because -- although in Preferences it's pointed at my external drive -- it's backing up my iPhone 5 to the local drive in Windows.
Any idea what's going on here?
I've gone through this process 5 times already and it's always the same.

There are two main components to the iTunes library. The media folder which you can adjust via Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and the database file iTunes Library.itl which is normally found in <User's Music>\iTunes. You can choose or create a new iTunes library by holding down shift as you launch iTunes.
In some cases third party software can interfere with the way iTunes updates its files meaning that either iTunes forgets the previously chosen location, or that the active database is deleted. AVG anti-virus and Sony VIAO Entertainment Platform typically interfere with the database. McAfee has been implicated in the corruption of iTunesPrefs.plist.
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for more details on how you might recover after the library vanishes.
You may get some improvment by hosting your entire library on the external drive not just the media. E.g. Create a library at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive letter, then move the media into X:\iTunes\iTunes Media before adding it to the library. This will make it easier to backup the library to a second drive and move it between computers when the time comes.

Should I create a new iTunes Library on my new iMac?

I have been using a MacPro with multiple hard drives. One such 2TB drive has been the location of my MacPro iTunes library and media files. It takes up about 1.5TB of space with all the music, video and books. I use EyeTV from Elgato to record TV shows/movies, then convert them and transfer to iTunes. I also backup my iPhone and iPad to this iTunes library. I don't use iCloud for this backup.
I then purchased a new iMac with a 3TB Fusion drive. I plan to hang on to the MacPro to use on my home network as a file server, running "headless" perhaps.I plan to continue to use it for recording TV shows/movies in EyeTV and converting the output to iTunes videos.
Now I don't know what I should do about an iTunes library on my new iMac. When I got my iMac I migrated my User over to it. However, when I open iTunes, it is asking for me to either create a new iTunes library or open an existing one.
In my mind I have these options:
1. Create a new library. Setup up iTunes Sharing. This could work for me to access my large library of music and videos. However if I start backing up my iPhone i will then have backups on both computers. I suppose I could dump or ignore the MacPro iPhone/iPad backups and just create new backups on the iMac iTunes? What about new content I want to add? EyeTV will still be adding new content to the MacPro library. My iMac has no optical drive so if I want to rip a CD/DVD I would still need to use the MacPro for this. So from that perspective, this option may work out the best. What am I missing?
2. Open the iTunes library on the MacPro and make it my iMac's iTunes library. This seems problematic. If I understand correctly, I can't open this library on both Macs at the same time as this would likley cause issues. So I'd have to make sure I close out of one Mac's iTunes before the other Mac can open iTunes. This would be a pain given that EyeTV opens it up automatically when it is converting video recordings to iTunes video. For iPhone/ipad backups, I'm not sure what would happen here. Would it still backup to the MacPro iTunes library? I suppose it would. Another concern is the the MacPro would always have to be mounted on the iMac before I could access and use the iTunes library. So this options seems potentially frought with issues? On the plus I think this would retain the star ratings and other meta data, right?
3. What about creating a new library on the iMac but then go into preferences > Advanced and selecting the iTunes media folder that is on the MacPro. This is similar to option 2 above but retains access to the existing library I have on the MacPro. However, I'd lose all my star ratings, and other meta data.
Is there another option? Which way should I go? I am guessing option 1 is the best option. If you agree, please list caveats and downsides of it. If you disagree, please let me know the best strategy I should use and why.
Thanks.

Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch . iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Do I have to create a new account for my iPhone, or can I use my iPod Touch account?

I have an iPod Touch 32GB which I have an iTunes account for, & I need to know whether I have to create a new iTunes account for my new iPhone 4 16GB, or whether I can use the other one for. Would syncing cause problems?

You don't need another iTunes account for your iPhone. You can link as many iDevices to your account as you wish. Each device will have its own name/identity and you can sync different apps/music/media to each.

Hello,
As I understand, you would like to know how to create photo albums on your iPhone? This is possible only by first moving your photos onto your Mac or PC.
On the Mac use iPhoto to sort your pictures into albums then sync them back onto the phone via iTunes.
On the PC sort your photos using folders or software like Adobe Photoshop Elements then sync them back onto the phone via iTunes.
Hope this helps
