Itunes radio tunning madness

[aicul]

Since itunes 10.5 i have a radio tunning error message.

I have a stand alone old mac that is not connected to the web i use as a jukebox.

Services such as store, apps, etc and RADIO are all deactivated.

However, since 10.5, itunes seems to insist in looking for "radio tuning service" and issues an error message suggesting i check my internet connection.

Any ideas how i can tell itunes to stop this?

So i tested further.

Seems the problem appears when I use the new iPhone app "remote".

This seems to trigger the radio tuning search, which also implies the remote app is asking itunes on the imac for a service it should not provide because it is disabled in parental controls.

Anyone observed this also ?

Hey, I was wondering if you found a solution to this?

I started getting this problem last night, no internet connection... setup a 'adhoc network' joined this on my iPhone and started to use iTunes Remote on my iPhone.


Every 4 or 5 minutes I would get this error, very annoying as you can only clear it by getting up to my laptop (plugged into the TV) and pressing Ok

Thanks,

Gary.

P.S. I did read somewhere about going into iTunes and 'forgetting paired remotes' but mine isn't even showing up there!

No, I have not found an alternative to this except, "don't use the remote on the iPhone".

In my eyes this problem is a development blunder. I say this because if I "deactivate" radio as a "parental control" in iTunes, then the remote in the iPhone that talks to this iTunes should reflect this and not request the information that it will not use.

I'm actually waiting to see how quickly Apple fixes this, underlying their interest to really have a serious parental control framework, and not just the provision of toggle buttons in the preferences screen.
