Radio problems via ITunes??? Wha???

Anyone know what has happened to the radio access via Itunes??
When accessing "Radio" from the menu bar at leftof Itunes screen, the "refreshing categorie"s step takes forever, and about 50% of the time then states an error message.
when a category does refresh, the getting of the playlist from a specific station. ends, but nothing plays and nothing happens.
Occurs across all catergories and all stations. Is this a result of the upgrade tp 8.1???? Is this occurring across the platform???

I had theses dropped internet radio connection on itunes for years now. Where iTunes would endlessly rebuff the streaming every few minutes ... really annoying (here, its happening again !! )
I always assumed it was my internet connection, not fast enough (10mbs/sec on cable). One thing that might help but will not resolve it, is to go in iTunes Preferences / advanced -> sert the Streaming buffer size to large. It will help a litte but wont resolve it.
Funny thing .. when i get very frustrated, I plug my iPhone to my sound system and via Wifi listen to the same exact internet radio station ( 977 alternative the buzz ) on the same exact wireless network ... and it NEVER drop !!
any thoughts ? I blame iTunes !

  • Is there a free Radio access via Itunes?

    I concerned that the Radio access via Itunes is currently free of charge or I've to pay the fee to have the access?

    The radio stations available in iTunes are free. Nothing in iTunes other than the iTunes Store costs money.

  • I want to shut down the email address associated with my cloud account. I already changed it no problem via iTunes but can't do it via my phone for icloud. Help?

    I am trying to change the email account associated with my icloud account. Help!

    If you already changed it via https://appleid.apple.com/ and if it already works on iTunes then try to completely sign out on your iOS device (Settings > iCloud > Delete Account + Settings > iTunes & App Stores), then try to sign in again using your new address.

  • Radio streaming via a router?

    Since my uncle added a router between his Tower PPC Single 1.8 and his Dell, he can no longer receive any radio streaming. Considering he is an avid international radio listener, to say that he is peeved is an understatement.
    Disconnecting the router from the entire system restores radio streaming 100%. So my question is: once a router is connected, do one or several ports need to be opened somewhere to allow radio streaming?
    * Guy

    Virtual PC
    Thanks for the info, it'll allow me to open the appropriate ports *IF* I can figure out a few questions.
    But first, here's more on the situation:
    -I thought my uncle streamed his radio servers from an Airport Base station to his AEX. Wrong. He doesn't own a Basestation. He turned his PPC into an Airport Transmitter and that was enough.
    - Here's a list of things that don't work since the router has been installed:
    * His USB Logitech microphone will not transmit on either iChat (3.0) or Skype. The 'potentiometer' visibly works in the Sound System Pref, but the mike will not operate out of his computer. However, reception from others is OK in both Skype and iChat.
    * Radio streaming via iTunes.
    * Real Player radio. (Unable to connect to the server)
    - His new router is a DI-604 by D-Link. In this link (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333), the router is an 'acceptable' router from Apple's point of view. Now I need to know: does this router have its own firewall on by default? My uncle's PPC firewall is off and he wants to keep it that way. I don't know much about the D-Link, he threw the box and instalation manual in the garbage already. Not only is he technophobic, he also considers manuals are for wusses...
    - If I need to access the ports on the D-link, how do I do it: via the host server? Terminal? Some funky app?
    - By tomorrow morning, I'm sure I'll have more questions to ask, but hopefully someone will have answers to the above.

  • I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not.  I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes.  I still have the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not.  I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes.  I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord.  Does anyone have further suggestions? 

    Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
    If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

  • My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

    my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

    If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
    To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
    1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
    2) swipe to power off
    3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
    4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
    If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
    If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

    this issue just arose over the last month or so and no changes have been made to my bandwidth.
    Except for the following possibiblites:
    Your bandwidth might be being throttled by your internet provider.
    Your internet may have a fault.
    Perhaps your Wi-Fi security has been breached by someone nearby.
    Perhaps the other services (Grooveshark and Spotify) use a lower bandwith (I don't know).
    For numbers 1 & 2, try a speed check to see if your internet connection is as fast as it's supposed to be.
    For number 3, change your password to your Wi-Fi.
    For number 4, check the Bit Rate of each stream.
    On the other hand, if this new information that you added is fact ( it actually occurs if I even listen to music from my iTunes library, not just internet radio ), then perhaps iTunes is at fault and the best fix may be to repair iTunes.
    To repair iTunes, download the iTunes installer and when you run it, use the Repair option.

  • Problem with syn MS-Outlook 2007 - iPhone 3G via iTunes (Version 9.1.0.79)

    Hallo,
    I'm new and have a question yet.
    I've a problem with symcronisation between my MS Outlook calendar and my iPhone 3G via iTunes. I've installed the latest version of OS for iPhone and also for iTunes. If I syn my calendar-entries from outlook some dates are entered on my iPhone a day before (as date on outlook). I assumed it happens regarding the change of sommer-/winter time in Germany (outlook settings: change sommer-/winter time automatically, iPhone time-zone support activ (it doesn't work also with setting in-activ).
    A short example: in outlook calendar easter sonday (04.04.2010)/easter monday (05.04.2010) is correct, on iPhone calendar easter sonday --> on saturday (03.04.2010), easter monday on sonday (04.04.2010).
    Please could somebody support me ?? Many thanks in advanced.
    Best regards

  • Problem restoring itunes via itunes match

    Hello,
    I have been using iTunes match since iCloud was released.  I recently had a massive hard drive crash that erased my entire library. (It wasnt backed up properly.)  I am now trying to redownload all of my songs and books via iTunes match, not just ones purchased through the iTunes store.  How can I do this?  I have logged into my account and reauthorized my computer.  When I look at my music tab though, it is still empty.  Hopefully I am just missing somethign easy, but after searching on here and on google I am still stuck.
    Thanks for any help,
    David
