Grey Warning Box after playing iTunes radio?

I've never seen this happen before & I'm not ruling out it's just a coincidence but I was playing a station this morning on iTunes radio & walked away for a few moments. About 10 minutes later I walked back into to the room & iTunes radio stopped & I get this translucent grey box saying I have to press & hold the power button immediately! Right before I'm about to do this the hard drive starts spinning out of of control very fast & loud. I catch it after the HD crazy spin for only a few seconds.
When the prompt to see what happened came up & inadvertently chose the ignore button & can't find out what happened. Does anyone know what may have gone on & was it iTunes Radio or was that just a coincidence?
Just FYI, I just replaced the HD about 1 1/2 ago, the old drive burned out after a solid 4 years of use. So I don't think my HD is about to go out again.

It sounds like your Mac experienced a "kernel panic":

Can i play itunes radio in background?

can I play itunes radio on Ipad while working in another app or using safari?
If so How, it quits after a few seconds when i go to another app.

ITunes radio will continue in the background when using Safari or other apps that don't use sound. However, if Safari or whatever App needs sound then iRadio will be paused

I have no problems playing iTunes Radio stations thru my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spotify from any device it plays for a while then cuts out. Any suggestions?

I can play iTunes Radio stations via Apple TV through my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spot iffy the music cuts out after so many minutes. Any suggestions why or what I should do?

... sorry, my actual MacMini doesn't support a twin-monitor feature.. nor does my grafic card support a direct connection to a TV...
you should look in your prefs, Monitor, and should be able to set for the 2nd monitor some 768res/25fps .. .if your grafic card supports that mode.. (my old iBook G3 did it that way, but it is ... "retired" ....)

Can I prevent my phone playing itunes radio on default

Hi,
If the screen is lock and the music app isn't running, it always default to playing itunes radio on default when I press play on the lock screen's control center. Is there a way to default to the music in local storage? Also is there a way to switch to local music on the control center when it's playing the radio?
Thanks

Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question. Will not accept my apple id and password. Will not save my changed password. Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5. Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen. Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password. Does not recognize apple id or password. I change the password, does not save it. Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access. What do I do and where do I start? I thought I should download the update to OS X. I did that, still no change. Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

I recently tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it so that I could get the iTunes Radio option. However, this did not work. I am not sure what to do in order to be able to play iTunes radio through my iTunes.

So I really would like to be able to use the itunes radio funciton. I tried re-installing itunes two times in hopes that it would somehow lead to me being able to use the itunes radio function. Since I am posting this on the community discussion, it is safe for you to assume that I was unable to get the function to appear on my itunes. If you could help me figure out this conundrum, I would be very happy with you.

Where are you? iTunes Radio is only enabled in the US so far.

Iphone warning message after playing on the wrong dock 6 months ago

since using my iphone 3g on a bose dock by mistake - it played music ok- now whenever the phone is switched on I get a warning that the device is not suitable .
have updated the operating system, reset, multiple syncs, but it will not stop the message -
how can I rid myself of this troublesome warning?

No damage either way. The 'airplane mode' warning is simply a warning about interference form the cellular radio; it can also occur if the dock connection is not 'solid' (check for debris in the dock). As for the car charger, the iPhone 3G (and latest generations of iPod Touches and Nanos) cannot draw power from the Firewire pins of the dock connector. Many car chargers use those pins for power since they can carry the full 12 V of the car battery (USB power pins require a step-down to 5 V). But, it will still play music, and won't hurt your iPhone (just won't charge it unless you get a different dock or a dongle to convert the FW power).

My mac was off while iwas on vacation and i missed the ios 7 update and niw it wont update. I cant play itunes radio from my mac. help

im still stuck with the ios 10.6.8

The iOS 7 is only for iPods, iPhones and iPads. It is not for Macs.

Itunes Radio choppy or hard to play after upgrading to an itunes match account?

Hello friends,
am seeking some help since I have no idea what might be causing the issue. I've been working on this during my freetime for quite a while, but I'm stumped. Hoping some of you can help me.
Basically, Itunes Radio (and my match songs for that matter) are having a hard time playing on my iPhone 5c, which has recently been updated to ios 8.1. The iphone is a 32GB phone and has plenty of space for apps and third party music players but it is not so great for a huge library. But, the main reason I upgraded to an itunes match account was because of the ability to play itunes radio without any commercials. Well, there's no commercials... but i'm also unable to play itunes radio on my iphone. It plays just fine on my Macbook Pro (2010), with an updated yosemite but whenever I try to play a radio or song from my itunes match library it goes for about 30s, then just...stops, goes 30s ... then stops. So basically, it SOUNDS like an internet connection issue.... but.... well, let me list the things i've already tried.
-- power cycle (slide to power off); same thing
-- hard restart (power + home button at the same time); same thing
-- updated the device; same thing
-- reset network settings; same thing
-- reset ALL settings; same thing
-- restored device to factory settings; same thing
-- different wifi; same thing
-- using cellular data; same thing (lasts longer, though...interestingly enough).
-- turning itunes match on/off; same thing
-- deleting & syncing itunes match; same thing.
-- restore device & set up as new; same thing (worked for about 2 songs).
-- changed all songs to AACC format; same thing
(same thing = same symptoms, in case you didn't catch that. ;-) )
I am out of ideas at this point. Anybody want to throw anything at me? I'm seriously willing to try ANYTHING that doesn't require me to wait.
Should note that I use comcast as my internet provider, we have several internet boosters in the house (hence multiple wifi.... my father needs wifi for work so we have a backup plan for the back up plan) and I have recently gotten in contact with comcast for an unrelated netflix issue.

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Please let me know if it works.

ITunes radio playing ads, but I have iTunes Match

I'm putting this here as opposed to itunes because it only stared after the appletv update today. I am playing itunes radio and using the appletv as additional speakers with the imac. i am getting ads, even though i am subscribed to match. i made sure match was on, on the appletv but im still getting ads. anyone else seeing this or have a solution?
-mvimp

itunes match on the iphone *****. So I have to enable this and corrupt my entire music collection to get ad free itunes radio. That is insanity. Time for a total refund for itunes match. Not worth it and not what was advertised.
Pandora is honest with their subscriptions and plays better music matches anyway. Good by ituens radio. Too bad I can't remove it from ym phone.

ITunes Radio Won't Play Music

iTunes Radio on my Mac Mini won't play. The songs load up, but no music is played and the progress bar always stays blue (i.e., doesn't show up like a normal song playing where it starts at the beginning and as the song progresses moves towards the end). If I skip a song, it makes no difference. The new song loads up on the player but it doesn't play and the progress bar remains blue all across.
This has been acting up off and on, but it usually would get working after I'd quite iTunes. It started acting up again yesterday and I was unable to get it to play. I then upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 overnight and today I upgraded iTunes to 12.1.2
I've signed in and out of my account, reauthorized and reauthorized the computer, signed in and out of iTunes Match to no avail. This only happens on my Mac Mini. I have no problem playing iTunes Radio music on my iMac, iPhone, iPad, etc.
Any suggestions? I have tried just about everything I could think of.
Best regards, Phil

Ditto here. Done all you did also. Sign in, sign out. Restarted, checked iTunes Match, Updated Genius....nothing.

TS5181 How can I get iTunes Radio to QUIT automatically playing?!

When I get out of the car and I'm in one of my playlists (created on a computer, not a genius or anything) and I'm in the middle of a song, my issue is when I get back in the car (it can be 5 minutes or 2 hours), my song doesn't pick up from where I left off. In fact, my playlist isn't even playing -- iTunes Radio is!! I don't want it to do that!! Does anyone know how I can get iTunes Radio to quit automatically playing?? Thank you.

Bumping this.... iTunes Radio in Canada was supposed to come out early this year (2014). It's mid-November and still no sign and no word from Apple... Anyone have any idea if/when we can expect this?
