Radio in i-Tunes

Posted by: sheffieldgraham on 10 April 2014

I'm running i-Tunes 10.6.3.

I no longer seem to be able to receive radio stations in i-Tunes via the Radio source (LHS of page).

The categories show, but when I click on one it fails to connect with the tuning service and a dialogue asks me to check my internet connection. This is OK.

Before this problem I copied some radio station URL's into a playlist and can still access them.

Very strange.

Any ideas.

Graham, the version on my PC is 11-something.  OS X version is well into the 11-something series too.  Maybe you are just overdue for an update?  iTunes Radio works fine for me.

Maybe Bart.

Just a bit wary of updating i-Tunes. I've heard of problems in the past with updates. Any issues with the current version.

p.s. I'm still running snow leopard 10.6.8 OSX.

Graham, I'm running 11.1.5 (lastest) with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and its very smooth - this on a 6yrs old MacBook Pro (1.3GHz Core 2 Duo). Think layout was changed from your version so not sure you will approve (check out apple.com for pics) and I've updated at each release so not sure if you can go from 10.6.3 straight to 11.1.5 (again in should be on apple site).

 

If you decide to update make sure OSX has all the updates first then see what pops up when you run system update - it might give you 11.1.5 as the option. As with all updates a small risk of corruption is always possible but if you are not running any add-ons that is usually very low.

 

Si.

Just thought I'd update the contributors to my post.

I updated i-Tunes to 11.1.5 on OSX 10.6.8(Snow Leopard), and can now receive the internet radio stations.

Thanks all for your support.
