Playing music through iTunes on AirPort Express

I have the following configuration:
Airport Express (AX) ver 6.3 firmware
iTunes 7.1.1
Airport Admin Utility ver 4.1
Linksys WRV200 wireless router - all wired and wireless computers connect to Internet and LAN here.
My AX is configured to join my existing wireless network.
I want to play music from any computer on my network-wired or wireless via iTunes and AX.
Up until 2 months ago, I was able to play music to my AX from any wired or wireless computer on my network. I'm not sure that anything has changed with my configuration but now I can only see the AX in iTunes on wireless computers. When use the AirPort admin utility on a wired computer, I cannot see the AX in the base station chooser window but I can choose "other" and manually enter in the AX IP address and password and connect to the AX and configure the AX from the wired computer.
I have the AX configured to enable airtunes over ethernet and have all iTunes clients configured to look for remote speakers. Can any one help here?

Swipe from the bottom and a window will come up with the airplay option

Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

Trouble playing music through iTunes

A problem has recently occurred with regards to playing music through iTunes. Whenever a song reaches around the half-way mark, it suddenly starts slowing down and becomes riddled with crackles. This only started last night, and is the first time I've ever had this problem. Does anyone know what the problem, and how to rectify it?

Does this happen in other programs? Have you tried updating your soundcard drivers?

Cannot Connect To External Speakers Through iTunes 10 & AirPort Express

I am trying to play music through my stereo from iTunes 10 and my AirPort Express. IMy Mac & AirPort Express are on the same network and the speakers are connected correctly to the Airport Express. I don't see the AirPlay button in the bottom right corner of iTunes though. Any thoughts?

i'm having the same problem, there used to be an icon in the lower right hand corner to connect to my airport express and it doesn't exist anymore, i tried shutting down, unplugging and plugging the airport express back in, but i still have no option to send music to it. any luck with yours?

Intermittent issue streaming music from iTunes to airport express

I'm experiencing an issue when streaming music from my iMac to two airport expresses (1st generation). Music will be playing fine but once in a great while, when a new song starts it's like a digital bomb has gone off. It's similar to an amber alert coming through the speakers instead of music. When I stop the song and start it again, back comes the music. This has happened to many different song files so I've discounted the possibility that it's a corrupted file. I've not been able to determine any other pattern that would give me some insight into the root of the problem. The problem has existed across two different routers so doubtful that’s a factor either. All my software (iTunes and OS) are up to date and generally the system works well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or advice? I’m at a loss on how to resolve.

Update: this problem exists when just listening to music on iMac with iTues; no airport express or network involved. Something, somewhere in the software is causing this.

Cannot play music through Itunes on work computer

This has worked in the past but for some reason today it isn't working. I have Itunes on my home PC and that is what I sync my Ipod to. I also have it at work just so I can listen to my music through my laptop. When I hook it up to my laptop it flashes the Do not disconnect message forever, doesnt go away. I can eject the Ipod and listen to it fine through the Ipod but I cannot get it to play songs on the laptop. They all show up but are greyed out and I cannot click on them to play. The Ipod shows up in Itunes, says nothing about Updating Ipod like it normally does when it is updating. Any idea how to fix this?

Yep! At the bottom of the iTunes window there's a button with an iPod icon on it. Press it and it'll being you to the iPod preferences window. Select the manual update option and select ok (to the pop-up window and to exit the preferences window). The songs won't be greyed out anymore, just remember to set it back to automatic update when you go home. Hope that helps.

HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
thanks,

Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

Sharing Music in iTunes w/ Airport Express

Hello,
After installing my Airport Express, all the shared libraries from other university students in my building are now gone within iTunes. Everyone else with Airport works great: printing, speakers, internet.... Anyone have any clue how I can fix this?
Thanks
Nick

This problem is unique to users of the Airport Express on a university network. Connecting to a university network doesn't have the same requirements as connecting to a cable or DSL modem, because on a univesity network you don't necessarily want the Airport Express to act as a router between your computer and the network the Airport Express is connected to.
You can fix this by disabling the router built into the Airport Express. To do this, run the Airport Admin Utility, select your Express, click the Configure button, click the Network tab, and then uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Then restart your computer.
There is a possible downside to doing this - which is that while you will be able to access everyone else's shared iTunes library and the internet, there is a possibility (depending on how IP addresses are distributed on your university's network) that you may no longer be able to print or stream iTunes to your Airport Express. If these functions of your Airport Express do contineu to work (this is good!) they will also be accessible to everyone else on the university's network (this is not so good!).

Itunes 7.0.1 installed, now I can't play music through itunes? please help!

After installing itunes version 7.0.1, everything seems fine, apart from the fact that if I either double click a song to play it, or even press the play button on itunes, it doesn't play at all... what's going on?

hmmmm. perhaps let's first try working through the possibilities from this document:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly

When playing music through iTunes, it no longer starts at a random song.

I have it set to shuffle and it used to start with a random song. Now, it always starts with the first song in my library. I prefer the random start, but after the last update, it no longer does it. Can I change this in a setting or something??

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

When playing music in itunes, music stops when screen shuts down

I am using Windows Vista, when the screen shuts down for power saving. The song playing will continue, but the next one will not begin. This is when I am just playing music through itunes on computer. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

Hello TheDonsCheek,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

Music speeds up when playing music in itunes!

hi everyone,
i recently bought a creative xmod and when i play music through itunes now the music speeds up to an insane speed, does anyone know how to fix this? i couldn't find any help on the creative tech support but i sae that others had this problem.thanks.

First thing is try playing back one of your music files with, say, Quicktime (just browse to the file in Finder, right-click or ctrl-click and choose "open with Quicktime").
If the music plays back normally then your issue is with iTunes and is not hardware related.
See if [this link|http://lfnet.net/blog/?page_id=21] helps you out.

Installed latest version of iTunes, now I cannot play music through my Airport express. I'm seeing the message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "living room". The network connection failed.

I have the same problem - did you solve it?

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!
