6.0.2 BUG REPORT - iTunes doesn't remember Airport Express volume settings!

Incompetent engineers!!
Whilst I'm here, why does the 'iTunes Feedback' menu option take me to a 'Request' page? Incompetent marketeers!!

Use the Mac OS X Feedback form to send iTunes feedback. Do not click on the iTunes link on this form, it will take you to the music request form.

  • Windows 7 - iTunes doesn't see AirPort Express but AirPort Utility does..

    iTunes 10.1.1.4 running on Windows 7 can not detect my AirPort Express with 7.5.2 firmware. My iPod Touch running on the same wireless router detects and will play music through the AirPort Express.
    iTunes preferences are set to detect remotes (iPod Remote works to control iTunes) and the AirPort Express. Also verified that the Windows 7 firewall is set to all Bonjour to pass all UDP ports on home networks.
    Need some help getting iTunes 10 to detect the AirPort Express...

    I have since done a reset to factory condition and tried again and it seems to be working now. I unplugged it from the power held down the reset button and plugged it back in continuing to hold down the reset. I think you have to hold it down for nearly 10 seconds until the light flashes green 4 times and then release the button. Then try scanning for it again. It still took a little longer than I expected for it to find it after that but once it did I have not had any more problems.
    At least with it; my sister is on windows and that is another story!

  • I just connected a new airport express to my stereo but the itunes on my desktop mac isn't version 4.6 and every attempt to download the newer version only ends up downloading 4.1. How do i get my desktop itunes to play through airport express?

    Why doesn't my airport express work with itunes 4.1 and why can't I update the version I have to 4.6? Each time I find a site with 4.6 and click download it downloads as the earleir 4.1 version and not the newer one.

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • Itunes remote speaker using Airport Express and Extreme

    I have purchased an Airport Extreme and Airport Express, so I can listen Itunes music on my stereo system. For some reason, there is simply no remote speaker selection button on the bottom right of the Itunes windows. Does it has to do with the fact that I am using an old Mac OS X?
    My Macmini has no airport card, so I connected the ethernet to the Airport extreme, and plugged the Airport express few feet from the base. Nothing but an orange tilting light comes out of the little box. I can surf the net perfectly but the Itunes is ignoring all my investment on the couple of Airport boxes i purchase...What I am doing wrong?

    Yes, I thought that purchasing the Airport extreme as
    the ethernet interfase directly connected to the
    MacMini, was almost the same as having the airport
    card inside the Mini. Where did I get lost?? I have
    the extreme directly to the mini, and an express
    plugged somewhere close and nothing happens...
    The problem is that the mini can only stream iTunes to an Airport Express via Airport. While you have connected it to an Airport basestation, as far as the mini is concerned, it is working via ethernet because that's how the data is leaving the system. It doesn't have an Airport card, thus it can't stream iTunes content to an Airport Express.

  • Can't get itunes to connect to airport express via air tunes

    Hi,
    I just bought and installed an airport express (for windows 7) everything is now connected but i can't get itunes to recognize my airport express via air tunes. I can see the multiple speakers in itunes, but when i click on it to connect to airport it just comes up with connecting, loads for about a minute then minimizes without connecting.
    Has anyone else experienced this? How can i get this to work?

          You've probaby solved this by now, but if not... When upgrading itunes on a Vista or Windows 7 machine with Windows Firewall running for some reason Bonjour can't get through the firewall and thus Airplay does not work. Not good when all your Hi-fi's are connected via airport express!
    I found to resolve the issue you have to install an older version of Bonjour. It won't work if you try to do this straight from Apple.  So try this...
    1. Firstly install and older version of itunes from the web (say version 10.1) Try www.oldapps.com
    2. Then find the Bonjour file in program files
    3. Cut and paste it to your desktop with its contents
    4. Uninstall itunes and Bonjour via your control panel (the desktop file of Bonjour you moved will still be there).
    5. Install your new version of itunes, say version 10.5, from the apple website.
    6. Before opening it go to program files and cut the (newly installed) Bonjour file and paste it somewhere different to the desktop (you can't just delete it). It does not matter where you won't be needing it.
    7. Now Cut and paste the old version of Bonjour you stuck on the desktop in Program files in place of the one you just moved.
    8. Hey presto, Airplay, Windows firewall and your Airport Express' should all get on again.
    Hope this works...

  • ITunes can't find Airport Express remote speakers after PC standby

    I use Airport Express 802.11n to drive my remote speakers over WiFi from iTunes. It works well, except for after my PC Laptop has been in standby (such as folding the screen). When it wakes up and regains network connectivity, iTunes can no longer find the Airport Express remote speakers. I can ping the Airport and it shows up in Airport Utility, so I have WiFi connection. It does not help to restart iTunes, I need to reboot Windows to allow iTunes to see the remote speakers again.
    Does anyone have a tip of how I can get iTunes to "refresh" the Airport Express connection (zeroconf/Bonjour issue?) after standby wakeup?

    Holy moly. Now it works.
    I restarted the Airport Express from the Airport Utility application, repaired persmissions and rebooted the computer as well.
    Not much of a "fix" but sometimes you gotta do the most obvious I guess. (And yes I feel stupid)
    Cheers

  • Airport extreme doesn't recognize airport express remotes

    Airport utility doesn't recognize airport express remotes in my network even though they appear to be working. Any ideas how to fix this?

    You don't need to download drivers to the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    However, you may have to download and install a printer driver on your Mac - if Epson's web site has a newer version than the one built into OS X (which is version 3.09).
    You could also try using the alternate "Stylus Photo R340 - Gutenprint" driver built into MacOS 10.5.

  • ITunes 7.1 doesn't recognize Airport Express over ethernet

    Running iTunes 7.1 on Windows XP desktop. Immediately after update, iTunes no longer can see my Airport Express as a remote speaker (Airtunes over Ethernet).
    Airport Express has the latest updates. Airport Utility has no trouble recognizing it by name. It doesn't have a password on it. The Airport is happily providing wireless for my laptop. It is my only WiFi base station, because I have a small place. It's been dependable for over a year.
    I'm truly bummed, because earlier today I got a Griffin AirClick USB, and it works like a charm. I was looking forward to using it with full-screen coverflow in 7.1.
    iBook G4 and assorted Win & Linux boxes   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes is on an XP PC

    The problem turns out to be an incompatibility with Bonjour for Windows. A post by "f00fighter" over in the "iTunes for Windows Upgrade Issues" forum solved it. I quote him below:
    ******Quote***********
    Looks like this issue is due to an incompatibility between Bonjour for Windows and iTunes 7.1.0.59 for Windows (thanks toonz!)
    To workaround the issue you can stop the Bonjour Service by going to Start \ Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Services, then highlight the Bonjour Service and stop it. You might also want to set the Startup status of the Bonjour Service to Manual (or Disabled) to prevent the service from starting automatically the next time you restart you PC.
    Note - this is only a temporary fix, and turns off the Bonjour service...so don't do this if you have other applications that rely on the Bonjour Service. A fix from Apple is needed to truly "fix" this issue.

  • ITunes doesn't return to full volume after a phone call

    At work I use iTunes on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine.  We use Microsoft Lync for phone calls.
    My settings are set so that Windows reduces the volume of applications by 80% when I have a phone call.  This works just fine.  If I leave the music playing during the call, then when I finish the call, it will return to the normal volume.
    However, if I pause iTunes during the call, then the volume does not return to normal, and I have to use the volume mixer to fix it.  Is there a solution to this?

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

  • ITunes can't see airport express remote speakers using airtunes

    Running Windows Vista, I have been through the process of joining the Airport Express as a client to an existing wireless network and have got a green light showing (hurrah). iTunes is not, however showing the option of selecting that AE to use as remote speakers.
    I have checked that the 'look for remote speakers....' option has been selected in iTunes and have opened port 5353 UDP on the Windows firewall, and have tried turning the firewall off altogether, but still no joy.
    As with other Vista users I can't see the AE using the Admin Utility, but I can get to it using 'Other' and the IP address that the DHCP server on my wireless router (Buffalo) has issued. On the music tab on the Base Station the 'Enable AirTunes on this base station' check box is connected.
    So it seems that everything is good to go, just that iTunes doesn't display the base station as an option to select in iTunes - can anyone help? Thanks

    Oh. My. God.
    Who knew that the "multiple speakers" window can be resized?
    Quite by accident, I discovered my other two AE's "hiding" outside the window...
    Sheesh.

  • Stream Music over iPhone from iTunes Server direct to Airport Express?

    Hi all
    I have a wireless network supported from timecapsule which will be expanded via airport extress. I use airport express to stream music from my iTunes library to defined speakers via remote app on my iPhone.
    Due to lack of diskspace on my MacBook Pro, I bought a Synology NAS to store all my music on it and use the iTunes server.
    Unfortunately, there is obviously no app from Apple available to connect to iTunes server (via iPhone or iPad) select music to play and also the speakers to stream to!
    Thanks for your help!
    Regards, Jean-Claude

    I think this is really disappointing especially since it seems to be able to stream from the Apple TV G1 to Airport Express devices. Also it's weird that you will be able to stream from the iPad to Airport Express devices including Apple TV G2 but the same thing is not possible from the Apple TV G2... Let's hope they'll change that but maybe they did it on purpose because the Apple TV G2 is streaming itself... This is really disappointing.
    Also I recognized that music that is played via the home sharing on your Apple TV G2 doesn't include the ratings. Ratings are not transferred via home sharing. I don't think your playcount etc. will be updated as well. This is very disappointing as well. What do you guys think about that?

  • Music interrupts when using iTunes & remote speakers via Airport Express

    Like many other I have had this problem.
    Short version:
    It disappeared when I turned of a wireless network expander and was only running the network with the wireless router and Airport Express on.
    Long version:
    I had the folowing setup. One Linksys wireless router, one Linksys access point configured as wireless repeater (to extend the range of my network). About in the middle my Airport Express is located. When I disconnected the Wireless Repeater the problem disappeared. My conclusion is that Airport Express was switching between the two "base stations" and that was when the interruption was created. Anyone else who has about the same setup and do experience the problem that can verify by disconnecting everything except the wireless router?

    The trouble you are reporting sounds like WiFi connection probs. Signal quality and strength is just not sufficient to ensure a constant and high enough data transfer. I would recommend to do some test with AP and computer being rather close to each other. Its may a good idea to switch from WEb to WPA encryption.

  • Stream content from iTunes to AppleTV and Airport Express

    I have an Apple TV in family room which is wirelessly connected to my home network. I also have a PC connected via Ethernet to my network. All my music is stored on an external drive connected to my PC (I don’t store any media on the ATV, as my music is well over 400GB). This setup works great, and allows me to stream content from the external drive to my ATV which is connected to a stereo.
    Next, I purchased an Airport Express, connected it to a second stereo in my basement. After spending 3 hours trying to get it connected to my network, (I had to disable all wireless encryption, and use MAC filtering to keep network secure), I am now able to stream media from iTunes on the PC, to the stereo connected to the Airport Express.
    What I would like to do now, is be able to select a song from the Apple TV (using ATV remote, or iPhone Remote), and have it play in both places. Since the media itself is coming from iTunes running on the PC with the external drive, and it gets streamed from there to Apple TV, how can I also stream the same content to the Airport Express?
    The folks at the Apple store say this is a feature, but no one seems to know how to make it work. I have also read hundreds of posts online, and some say you can do this, others say you cannot. All of those who say it is not possible, state you cannot stream from ATV to AE, but in my case, the media is not on the ATV, it is on the PC, and I just want to use ATV to select the song. From there, it would be iTunes that would send the content to both the ATV and the AE.
    Can someone help myself and many others put this question to rest - can it be done, or not?

    Thanks for the reply. Just as you indicated, I figured out how to use iPhone remote to tell iTunes on PC to output to Express, Apple TV and PC, and that works great - I can even turn on/off any of the speakers from the iPhone - this is so COOL!
    While you answered the question, I am curious about the architecture of all this...If the media is actually on the PC and is controlled by iTunes, isn't the Apple TV doing the same thing as the iPhone Remote - just telling iTunes what to play, and iTunes sends the content to whatever speakers are defined? Keeping that thought, if you can control iTunes via iPhone Remote, and the content will play on any speakers you select, then it would make sense that you could do the same thing with the Apple TV menu - tell iTunes what to play, and let iTunes send to whatever speakers you have selected.

  • Itunes wont work with Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have been having issues with Itunes and Airport Express for years. I got if fixed a year ago through Apple, but now that the new Itunes came out, back to square one and frustrated.
    I have an IMAC G5 going wireless to Airport Express. There is nothing in the way and I am 5 feet from the Airport.
    We worked on this issue on the phone for literally hours over a 3 day period. I cannot remember exactly how we fixed it, because we changed so many settings.
    I am opening Itunes, I can see the choices of my Airport Express or my computer or both, I can click on Airport Express and music will last for several seconds to a minute at the most, then it shuts off. The music will stop streaming, my Airport express will go off line, and Itunes will lock up completely. I have to force Itunes closed, log off Airport, log back in Airport, if I am to get back on line.
    The one thing I seem to recollect is we changed some sort of preference where the Airport through some thing was trying to force its way into the network, so it would shut it off from logging into the network. I think we changed something in the log on preferences in system preferences, but I am not sure.
    I have no idea how to fix this issue and have worked on it for hours, if anyone KNOWS how to fix it, and I have read / tried about 10 different obsurd ways to fix, please give me the information. I have tried re setting up network, logging off, re installing, you name it, so if you do know for sure how to fix it please give me the information.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    i bought lexmark 730 printer and set up the printer
    and the airport express (AE) exactly the way it says,
    airport recognises the printer but nothing will
    print. any suggestions, i suspect i have to change
    something in the AE configuration, any suggestions
    please?
