ITunes Radio - wont play through MAC

Hi
I ususally listen to the Radio stations via a Roku Soundbridge (as well as other iTunes tracks etc) - with no issues.
Today I wanted to play a station via iTunes directly but no joy - still plays via wireless SoundBridge so its streaming ok, but no radio streaming via iTunes MAC directly...
It is the first I have tried radio via native iTunes so have I missed something.
(iTunes tracks still work ok)

How are you trying to open the stream in iTunes, and do you know what format the stream is in? Can you give us a link to the stream?

A station on iTunes Radio wont play at all

Hello to all!
Im having a problem using iTunes Radio on OSX Mavericks. The first station I added was Medieval and Renaiscance, I listed to it twice but after that it wont play. I just click on the play button the loading bar moves but then it does nothing, just goes back to the usual play button.
It does this every single time I try to listen to it.
I tried deleting it and adding it back but it doesnt work that way either
I really like this music so it would be nice to be able to listen to it again.
Thank you all for your help and im sorry if I dont use correct terms Ive just switched from Windows.

From what you've described, most likely it's a problem with the station itself, in which case there's nothing you can do to fix things on your end. You'll probably just have to wait a while until the station fixes the stream. If you'll post the name of the station, though, someone else can check it and see if they have the same problem.
Regards.

Getting The Itunes Radio to Play through my computer

I installed the Itunes software, but I am unable to get the radio to play after acccessing the rado stations.I click on the radio button. The status bar looks as though it is loading a station. When it is through loading, I assume I am connected to a radio station but I hear nothing. I am using a Dell desktop XPS 400 computer. I am running Windows XP Pro, 2gb ram, 940 DCHT technology. I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS Soundcard. I have DSL internet access. I have tried connecting through all types of Genre, different kbps ratings, but still no sound. It acts as if it has contacted and picked up the URL, The radio acts as if it is trying to get the playlist and says it is downloading playlist, but no list ever appears, and no music ever plays. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to this Itunes thing, and this type of program access. Forgive my ignorance, but I am willing to listen, follow directions, just need a little advice from someone who has had success in getting their radio to play in the windows environment. I have all the power, and am surrounded by a plethera of top of the line guts, and peripherals. Please feel free to E-mail me directly at [email protected], or here. I would deeply appreciate any assistance and advice anyone could give me. Many thanks to and for your understanding. PLEASE HELP ME, DISGUSTED AND FRUSTRATED PUTTER!!!
Sincerely & Respectfully,
Bruce

You can play a regular song in iTunes and hear it, correct?
Click Radio and the Genres show up.
Click on of the Genre and it should drop down say "Refreshing list" and show all radio station in that Genre.
Double clicking (or click once and select Play) in iTunes and a box should pop up which states "pre buffering" (or something like that).
Once it is playing, you will see the station, play time and maybe song info in the box at the top of iTunes.
If it's not working, it could be your firewall blocking it.

ITunes radio starts playing after I check email. What can I do to stop that from happening. It is a nuisance to open iTunes and pause the song playing.

On my iPhone 5c, after I check email or other apps not related to phone use, frequently iTunes radio starts playing. I have learned to open app and pause the song being played. Is there a way to not have that happen?

HI,
Most likely this is the server end and may improve on changing ports

I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle

I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle on the right side. This is maddening!!

iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

My ipod touch wont play through my docking station

hiya i have an ipod touch. aout a week ago it stopped working with my docking station. it wont play through the docking station speakers. ive tried two other ipods on the station and they work fine so its clearly a problem with my ipod. the ipod registers that its plugged into a charging source and starts playing music when its plugged in but through its own speakers rather then the docking station. i've tried doing a full factory reset and that didnt work. does anybody have any suggestions?

- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Hello fortcoins,
It may help to turn iTunes Match off, then back on.
Windows: While holding down the shift key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.

Did I not answer your question? You didn't ask for any troubleshooting tips. You simply asked "Anyone have songs they bought on iTunes that won't play". And I haven't.
If you have a technical support question, ask it.

What model iPod and iOS works and which does not?
Sometimes a 4G iPod will not fully sead in the dock because its case configuration is different that previous models.
Also, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility.
Have you checked the dock manufactuer's support stie for compatibility?
Sometimes this works:
- 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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

i can't get itunes radio to play since i hooked up and synced my ipod.

Grayed out whee? Computer? On iPod?
If in iPod that means the music files got corrupted and are lost.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
