Why does the iTunes radio stop playing?

Sometimes when listening to the iTunes radio on my desktop the station will stop playing. The speakers are on and I've done nothing.
Without a paid subscription  Pandora will periodically check with the listener.
Is the iTunes radio set up the same way?

The thing is, the music does not cease prior to the slideshow start. Or At least it doesn't cease on my ATV.
I do have Flickr set as screensaver indeed, but having to change screensaver settings to watch a new slideshow is just plain annoying IMO.
Ane the fact that the music plays when a screensaver slideshow is active is a proof that technically the ATV could support the feature.
Thank you for your reply.

  • TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

    Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

    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.
    Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.

  • Why does the plug in stop working sometimes

    Why does the plug in stop working sometimes?

    Is your pc. laptop, whatever Windows -ana what version, like Windows Vista, or Windows 10.
    What bit is it? 32 or 64?
    You can get that info by right clicking on "My Computer" Uusually on the desktop) and selecting Properties in the drop down menu.
    And what version of Fire Fox are you using?
    And which plugin are you using, and is it for Flash Player?
    This info will help someone to answer your question.

  • Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to Apple's download webpage instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime dialog box?

    Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to to Apple's download webpage (to download a full version of iTunes) instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime pop-up/dialog box where I usually perform the updates?

    iTunes 10.4 and Safari 5.1 contain more than 'just' the OSX Lion-release but stability and security improvements as well.
    For example, here is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070 what the Safari 5.1 contains.
    In here http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ I can't find an "end-date" for the download of the Lion installer.
    Nonetheless, personaly I would download the Lion installer and then copy it (from your Apllications folder) to a secure place (backup harddisk, external hardisk etc.).
    When your IT gives it a go you can then use te Lion installer from inside the Applications folder, but I would also say to make a bootable clone of your current OSX Snow Leopard before starting the Lion installation.

  • HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?

    Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?

    Hi fiercestorm,
    It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

    Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

    I'm also using ver. 11.0.1 and have Radio, so it's not a version bug.
    Have you deleted the iTunes pref files?  Close iTunes and go to your user Library->Preferences.  Unless you've changed your OS to do this, the Library folder is invisible in the newer versions of OS X.  Open a Finder window, and while holding down the Option key, click on Go in the top menu bar.  You'll see your Library there, so click on it and go to the Preferences folder.  If you're viewing preferences alphabetically, scroll down to com.apple.iTunes.  Delete anything that has those words in the file name (there will probably be about 6 of them).  No worry; this won't hurt anything.  When you re-open iTunes, new pref files will be created.
    Now, since you just entered this topic and weren't a part of the original discussion, I was assuming that your reply was to say that you weren't seeing any Radio option in iTunes.  That's what I'm trying to assist with here.
    Re-open iTunes and see if anything is improved.  If not, can you post a screen shot of your iTunes window?

  • Why is the iTunes Radio advertisement showing? I'm using the iTunes Match though.

    I joined the itunes match last April. It will be expired on next April.
    Until now, the itunes radio ads haven't been showed up while using the itunes match.
    But Since last week, I listen the ads on the radio like Nissan and so on.
    How do I remove the ads on the radio?

  • Why do some of my Stations on iTunes Radio stop playing music?

    I'm using iTunes Radio on my iPhone. After listening to it for while it will stop playing music. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the servers at Apple. Can anyone give me advice on this issue?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

  • Why is the iTunes radio skipping songs repeatedly and it won't stop?

    OK when I was listening to Itunes Radio I was in the top 50 pop chart and I skipped through a couple songs and it went crazy. It began to repeatedly skip song after song with out using your 6 skips. Also I left that chart and went to the alternative chart  and it did the same thing without doing anything. The only way I got it to stop for a couple minutes was bye turning off wifi and turn it back on using the IPhone 6 Plus.

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that does not work, sign out of your account, restart your iPad and then sign in again. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store and sign in again.

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.
