ITunes Radio keeps skipping

Hi, I used iTunes Radio on my iPad yesterday and it was perfectly fine, but. This morning I woke up got my iPad and wanted to listen to the ITunes Radio but it kept
On skipping song to song. What do I do? I've tried everything! Help!

Hi
I was listening to iTunes Radio for hours tonight, working fine. Then I stopped for a bit, returned to it and selected a different station and it was going bonkers fast forwarding like someone had their finger jammed on the next song button. tried closing the music app from the background and doing the hard reset. Neither worked.
My fix: sign out and back into your iTunes account within iOS settings.
Settings app > iTunes & App Store > tap on your Apple ID > sign out.
Then sign back in.
Go back to music app and the iTunes radio section should refresh itself and ask you to "start listening". Tap that and select a station. Mine's working normal again.

Itunes radio keeps telling me "temporarily unavailable "

My iTunes radio keeps giving a message " temporarily unavailable, try again later"
Works on my iPhone 5 , but not on my iPad2

Hi Tracydoola,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on the fact that you have tried a reinstallation of iTunes, it sounds like there may be a firewall or other security software preventing iTunes from communicating with its servers. This article has steps you can try to resolve or isolate the issue:

How do I stop iTunes radio from skipping songs by itself?

I Go to music and I tap on iTunes radio. When I put a station it shows a song and skips it and it keeps skipping.Sometimes it plays a song but if I don't want to listen to it and I skip it, it keeps skipping by itself.How do I Stop it? I've tried reset my iPod and I signed out and signed back in into my iTunes account And it still does the same . Is there a more permanent solution?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try when connected to another network
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

ITunes 7 keeps skipping, can I get iTunes 6 back?

Hello. I have had iTunes 7 for a few months, but it keeps skipping when I am trying to do somthing else on the internet, like load a new page, or if I'm scolling fast. Is there a way to get iTunes 6 back, or can this be fixed? Thanks.

I just uninstalled 7.x and went back to 6.0.5.20 this morning due to a different issue. iTunes 7.x doesn't work with Roku MP3 player so I had to revert to the older version.
If you have all your music under one main directory (like C:MP3 or something like that) then it is easy to revert back. When I installed 6.x it wouldn't come up because it said I had a library from a later version, so I just deleted the .itl and .xml library files and then recreated them. Just startup iTunes and go to "File/Add Folder to Library" browse to your top MP3 directory and it will add everything. Only takes a few minutes. I think the only issue would be if you use the ratings that those get lost but I don't use that anyways.

Why is iTunes Radio continuously skipping songs, I've tried all the suggestions I can find

iTunes Radio just continuously skips songs on all of my devices - Apple TV, iPad mini and iPad 2 and iPhone 6. I've tried all the suggestions I've been able to find so far:
Recycling the power to my modem/router
signing in and out of iTunes and icloud
deleting both accounts and reading back
deleting my wifi home network and adding back
Any additional suggestions I can try? I really like this feature? I would hate to have to create a new Apple ID or something, I don't even know how my stuff would transfer from one ID to another. Please help!
Thank you in advance!!!!

OK - this fixed my problem of skipping 30-40 songs and playing the same ones over and over.
I moved and changed the address on a credit card associated to my Itunes account. The credit card was still active, however the billing address was incorrect in my iTunes account. Make sure your Itunes account billing and payment information is correct as the slightest error will cause everything to seem like it is working correctly, except iTunes Radio.
My Fix:
In Itunes - enter Account - edit user information - edit payment method (update all information)
fixed problem on both of my two Apple TV devices

ITunes Radio song skipping like bad CD!

I recently started using the new iTunes radio service and the first couple days song played fine but starting last friday (Oct 4th 2013) Some songs started skipping like when you tried playing a scratched CD.
Very intermitted, random skipping and pausing.
The crazy thing is the next song (either by selecting or waiting until the bad song finishes) WORKS fine!... Then a song or two later skips again.
I am using a MacBook proRetina with the lastest OS versiona and most updated ver of iTunes.

My guess is that it's just the internet connection dropping the stream every now and then. But hard to say for sure without actually hearing it and also knowing how you're connected to the internet.

ITunes Radio Automatically Skips through Songs

When listening to iTunes Radio through my AppleTV 3, iPhone 6, iPad 3, and iMac 2013 iTunes Radio will just start skipping through songs. The current song plays through to the end, but then starts scanning through 20-30+ songs before playing the same song that just played. This happens on every station I have created, and also on the suggested featured stations.
This just started yesterday after updating to iOS 8.2. I logged out of iTunes on all devices and signed back in, but the problem persisted. I also rebooted all devices with still no luck. My Husband is also having the same issue on his iPhone 5 and iPad 3 under a different iTunes account.
I happened to be out of Wifi range on my iPhone and tried iTunes Radio and surprisingly the skipping stopped. The minute I got back into Wifi range the skipping would start up again after the current song ends. So it seems like it has something to do with my Wifi which are run off of an AirPort Time Capsule and Extreme (all up to date). I rebooted my modem and AirPort’s thinking there was some weird config issue, but the skipping was still happening. I have not changed anything with my internet provider and have more than enough bandwidth.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or further troubleshoot?

Hmmm, Cox must be blocking something. I'll try to call them when I get home, but I don't have high hopes dealing with them.
I also found another thread talking about the same issue.
"I already contacted apple about this and the persons that helped me told me they took the matter up to the engineering department. So now I'm just waiting on a reply back. Hopefully, they can get this fixed up."

ITunes radio: Keep getting " Station name Radio is currently unavailable. Try again later" errors

This is on my Apple TV (Gen 3), all updated. When I play the "Nursery Rhymes" radio station, it'll play one song and then go back to the iTunes Radio screen (out of the station screen). There will be no audio but the 'speaker' icon will be under the Radio station (as if it's playing).
Attempting to play that station again always gives the same error i.e. "Nursery Rhymes Radio is currently unavailable. Try again later".
How can this be fixed? My son gets pretty upset when his station stops working ....

I'm experiencing the same issue. One of my stations fails to play on my Apple TV (Gen 2) with the same message. I tried the following without any success:
• restarting my Apple TV
• logging out of and back into my iTunes account
I *am* able to play that same station from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and send it to the Apple TV via AirPlay, but I can't get it to play straight from the Apple TV.

ITunes Radio keeps stalling.

Latest iTunes and Mavericks, any help?

I think what the original poster is saying is that iTunes does not rebuffer the stream once it gets the "Network Stalled" error. It simply does nothing. What it should do is try to detect if the network is available again and if so, it should start to rebuffer the stream.
I started getting this problem tonight. My DSL ISP was experiencing intermittent drop outs, so my internet connection would drop out for about ten seconds every hour or two. This caused major problems with iTunes Radio. I had to click on STOP in the Network Stalled - Rebuffering window each time it popped up, and then I had to press Play to begin downloading the streaming radio. I should not have to take such action... this should be automatic. I think it is a bunch of frustrating crap that the user should not have to put up with.
Oh well, Its April 2007 now... I guess I won't see a fix until at least October 2007 since everyone is too busy trying to get the iPhone out the door.

iTunes radio will time out after 2 hours if there is no user interaction.

ITunes Radio crashing?

ITunes Radio keeps crashing. I have the newest iOS version, I tried signing out then relogging in, nothing is working. Please help.

I am having a similar problem. I select Public stations, select KGED (64 Kb station). iTunes crashes immediately.

HT5848 iTunes Radio no longer plays any songs. Just skips repeatedly.

I changed my Apple ID password and now my iTunes Radio does not work in any of my Apple devices.
I have a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone and iTunes Radio used to work great on all of them before I decided to change my password.
Now, whichever stations I choose to play, it just keeps skipping songs after songs for very long time and it doesn't try to even play a song.
In fact, it slows down my iPad Air and iPhone 5S as it continues to skips songs in the background by the way the icons' animates.
I have to close the music app from the multitasking to get it back from the slowness.
This also happens with the feature stations on the top, but it can only play the ads.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber, so I do not get ad on my regular stations.
I tried to use my Aple ID in my sister's iPad and it does the same thing. It still skips for so long without any playing any songs.
However, if I put my sister's Apple ID to my devices, iTunes Radio works fine.
I think it has to do with my Apple ID and it is frustrating that I cannot use part of the service I paid for.
I hope someone here can give an insight with what I am having trouble with. Thanks.

HI David - I actually had started another post on this same topic, and it was suggested there to 'update' all of your iTunes informatIon, although you don't really have anything,to change. This seemed to work for a short time for me, and then the skipping started again. I then had skip free radio for like a week, and then it started again yesterday. Today, I'm listening without issue. And yes, I use Cox too. I messaged them on FB, to which they sent me an article on an App Store outage that happened a few weeks ago, as well as a link to Apple on how to turn off the shake feature so to skip a song. I told them neither of those applied to my issue, and they told me to call Customer Serice and I just didn't have time for that. So I just let it come and go, but I'm convinced it's more of an ISP/Cox issue.

How do I get iTunes to keep playing (radio) when I am not using the compute

How do I get iTunes to keep playing - radio or CD - when the computer is otherwise idle? It cuts off after about 5 minutes and goes into sleep mode. thanks,
Vlasta

Hey vlasta4444,
It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.
