Network keeps stalling in itunes radio on specific stations only!!!!! Argh

Question!
Why is it that I'm unable to ever listen to specific radio stations on itunes? It consistently plays anywhere from a minute or less up to a few minutes and then starts reports stalling and rebuffers. This only happens on specific stations, in particular, ABF radio-electronic category-all bit streams, 192, 24,160. Can someone reply and let me know if there is anything I can do as far as maybe changing/tweaking settings or any other alternate solution. BTW, I have a PC and I'm using Windows XP, Media Center edition.

You can try adjusting the Buffer settings in iTunes Preferences -> Advanced tab -> "Streaming Buffer Size". Try each of the settings to see if changes the playback success.
But, the more likely cause is either that you're hitting a station that's using an under-powered server or your path to them on the Internet traverses some poor links. Nothing you can do about either of those issues.

Itune radio say "not content"only play with Siri?

Itune radio doesn't play only say 'NOT CONTENT'

You might want to take this up in the Safari forum, then. That way more people than just MBP users will see your question and be able to help.
Good luck.

Install itunes to a specific user only

I want to install itunes for a specific user only. Currently both users are administrators however i want the itunes/quicktime installation to reflect on 1 user only i.e. the one i intall it from. How can i do this? Is there a command line parameter that would allow me to install it for 'current user' only? Please advise.

Just change the installation path to somewhere in the other users account. The default is C:\Program Files\iTunes. You could change it to something like
C:\Users\accountname\iTunes. or something like that for vista. and
C:\Documents and Settings\accountname\iTunes. or something like that for XP.
accountname is the name of the account that you are trying to install itunes for.

Network Stalled in iTunes Radio

Okay... since the latest iTunes update, I'm having horrendous experiences with iTunes radio. No matter what station I select, the feed is interrupted every few seconds with "Network Stalled"... "Rebuffering Stream."
I have plenty of RAM and bandwidth. All other software is current. And I regularly run "Repair Disk Permissions." I have also recently cleaned up the hard drive using Disk Warrior. Firmware on my Airport is also updated and current. I have even quit using iChat and iDisk, but the problem has not gone away.
I seem to recall someone posting solutions to these issues a year or so ago, but any helpful suggestions here would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi -
I had the same problem. This may sound weird but I shut down our computer and disconnected the DSL line. I reconnected the line a minute later and restarted the computer. I'm not getting the "Network stalled" messages anymore.
Hope that works for you as well.

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...

"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 Match and iTunes Radio commercials on Windows Only

I have iTunes Match turned on and several PC's, an iMac, several iPhones and Apple TV all registered and functional. I seem to get commercials only when I listen to iTunes radio when listening on the Windows PC version. The commercials are all short, but present. I checked the previous submissions and found the Store --> Update iTunes Match command, which didn't seem to resolve the problem. The local PC doesn't have a local library of music, but it is also registered and using the same Apple ID for home sharing.
Is this by design or is there something else I can check for disabling the commercials? This PC is in my office and where I listen mostly, so would be nice to eliminate the commercials entirely (I'm kind of tired of the Gwen Stefanie ad coming to my screen when I am on conference calls).

Is it possible to set-up an IOS 6 device to sync with iTunes Match but also set-up additional playlists of music that are stored on the device hard drive?
With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing via USB is disabled. All music managment must take place directly on the device.

I just noticed that you can download songs or whole playlists from the iCloud to your device. How long does the device store those songs? Can it be set-up to store them for for a certain amount of time?
The songs will be stored on the device until you delete them. There is no "timer" feature, though.

Am I the only person having this problem? When I ask Siri to open iTunes Radio the last station I used comes up but I cannot open iTunes Radio.

The App icon for iTunes and Music look virtually the same, so are you looking in iTunes or Music. iTunes Radio is in Music.

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'm missing the iTunes radio icon on my iPod Touch

I had the iOS 7 beta and I was told that it was supposed to have a new radio icon in music. When iOS 7 was officially released, I didn't have the radio icon anywhere in my music. I even checked in more and it wasn't there.
To add to this, I just restored my iPod today and backed it up before hand. Before I added my back up, I had iTunes radio but as soon as my songs were being loaded back onto my iPod, it had once again disapeared and I wasn't able to use that feature.
Could someone explain to me why this happens and if so, how to fix it?

How do I Disable iTunes Radio

I have a 6yr old and a 4yr old and I don't want them listening to iTunes Radio as it can get any type of music. I want to disable iTunes Radio all together and only allow them to listen to music I place on their iPad mini's. The only options within apple in relation to music seem to be allowing explicit music or not. Apple needs to remember parental restrictions when they make all these new features. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I've been racking my brain at this, too!!! However, I found a solution!!! My dilemma is that my child has an iPad mini in which I've been able to: download appropriate apps, music, restrict websites, install safe web browsers, etc. All was well until the latest update last year with the introduction of "iTunes Radio." After going through the trouble of searching online for answers; "more" mysteriously disappeared from the music app so I cannot hide the "iTunes Radio;" and "Reset All Settings," I found I wasted my time! Instead, go to the "Settings" app and on the left side scroll down and select "iTunes and App Store" AND be sure that you or whoever's Apple ID is on your child's device is SIGNED OUT. Proceed to the "Music" app and you'll find that you NO LONGER have access to "iTunes Radio" because you are NOT signed in! I hope this helps many! ;-)
APPLE: Shutting off "EXPLICIT" under "Music and Podcasts" does not cut it if you can still listen to filth... There should be a disable feature for iTunes Radio.

Latest iTunes update breaks iTunes Radio

Has anyone tried to use Featured Stations on iTunes Radio? The latest update has broken this on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. Both running news Yosemite and iTunes. I'm able to play NPR Radio, but all else has failed. I've logged out, and logged back in. Restarted and still no iTunes Radio on Featured Stations. I even created my stations and still no sound.

It's working now. Must have been an issue with Apple regarding iTunes radio.

ITunes radio doesn't play songs by artists added to any of my stations

This is a clarification of an earlier question.
So you can create a station with a "seed" which can be an artist, song or genre. Once itunes creates that station you can modify the station with the available "more like this", or "Never again" buttons, but there is also an option in the desktop version below the stations where you are offered a "play more like this" > "Add artist, song or genre" and itunes is happy to let you fill in any artist and it shows you possible matches from which you can select. That artist is then shown below your original seed in a list for that station. However, itunes has never played any songs by any of the artists I've added to the station via this method even though they are there in plain site as "seeds" for this station. I always have to create a whole new station with the desired artists to get any songs by them. I've had these new artists seeded/listed for months without any songs played by them on the station. Why create this option if it is never functional? What am I missing?

just for clarification this is about Itunes radio and the stations you can create in it.
