Somebody suggested clearing the Store cache. I don't know why that would affect the radio. Seems to have not worked for some, worked for a few or maybe they imagined it. Many other posts about this if you browse the forum.
This is happening to some people some of the time in some places, but then not affecting people in other places, or in the same place at different times. You try to guess what is going on. Hasn't happened to me. Maybe it's my iTunes 7.5, or maybe it's luck of the draw since I never use iTunes radio.

Oh, don't expect Apple to say anything about this -- that's not their style.

Question: I am getting this message from iTunes on my iMac:
An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later.
Can't find a way to fix this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeaaaah... I just powered up my G3 iMac... iTunes 7 on there... My iTunes on there can't do much. But it's still subscribed to one podcast that's still valid and working. If I try to use the radio, I get this message. I wager they changed urls and the like in the background years ago and this is just so old there's no longer any support for it.

Two things to try, first, reset your PRAM.
Next, try rebooting your computer.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

Workaround for "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later."

While Apple tries to figure out what's wrong I came upon a great workaround for those of us that like the radio feature of iTunes. This actually doesn't take long either.
When trying to expand the categories you get the error "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later." This happens enough to think that the service is completely broken. Actually, it seems intermittent. Try clicking it a few times. you WILL GET THROUGH. When you do get there, highlight all of the stations(or just the ones you want), create a playlist (I use the name of the category as I take the entire list), and paste into the playlist. You can then play the stations EVERY TIME from the playlist. Works perfectly.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what version of iTunes you have or what plugin you have. I have seen this on over 600 computers - Windows & MAC - and the workaround is 100%.
Let me know how you make out. And, PLEASE SHARE THIS FIX!!!

Yes indeed, this workaround was posted a few days ago at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17739684

The iPad update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later.

Cant update my sons ipad 2 to ios 5. We got it at christmas and have not been able to update it. Keep getting the ipad update server could not be contacted. check your internet connections or try again later. I have tried turning off my firewall and tried at all times of the day or night. Im using windows 7 on my PC.

The only other thing that I can think of to try is to restart everything. Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
Here is an article about troubleshooting iPad updating issues. It could be some other security settings that you have that are blocking the update from proceeding. There are a number of things that are discussed in this support article. Check it out and see if there is anything in it that you can try.

I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes. No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing. It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now). Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without. You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

When I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

I am trying to updated iTunes on my PC so I can sync my songs onto my iPhone 5, but when I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later." My internet connection is fine and I've tried mutiple times to update it.

That one can sometimes be produced by LSP trouble:
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

TS1424 "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."

I keep getting this error message: "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later." and can not update my iOS from 4.3.2

I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?

An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later.
The Wireless connection is FINE and the INTERNET and E-Mail work fine.
The RADIO has worked for over a year with NO PROBLEM and this JUST STARTED 2 Days ago,
HELP!

Have you read the other several hundred posts about this over the past few days? Do any of their suggestions help?
Report the issue to Apple (this is just a user assistance forum with other users like you) since it is posssibly something at their end:
