Airport Express green, but not found in Itunes10 - Bonjour problem?

my AX is connected to my network (join a network) and connected to speakers to use as remote speakers on iTunes (airtunes). Connection works great, status is green. I have 2 windows pc's on the network: XP and Vista.
As long as iTunes was shipped with Bonjour 1.0 this was no problem.
From iTunes version 8, when Bonjour 2.0 was introduced, the Airport was not visible anymore in iTunes, and also not in Airport Utility. Strange fact however: the AX seems to work fine (green light) and I can view the configuration in Airport Utility via 'Configure Other...' and entering the ip address on my local network. all options are set correctly for Airtunes.
I believe this is a bonjour related problem, as until now, the fix was to uninstall Bonjour 2.0 and install an old version (1.0.6)
iTunes10 however does not seem to work with Bonjour1.0
So I'm at a loss: my AX is not visible in iTunes, not in XP, not in Vista.
Other things I tried:
* disable firewall completely: no luck
* reset airport express and reconfigured (all GREEN light and visible via configure other, but not found in a scan of Airport Utility when using bonjour2.0
* open port 5353 TCP/UDP in my router (D-Link DI-524) for the AX: no luck
Anyone having the same issue?
config: AX(n) FW7.4.2 in join a networkmode WPA2-DHCP, Dlink DI-524, WinXP, WinVista, iTunes 10, Airport Utility 5.5.1Win, Bonjour2.0.2

I have exactly the same problem. Extremely annoying. Before, I could fix it by re-installing Bonjour after each iTunes-upgrade. But after version 10, that doesn't work any more. Or rather, I can see the AX in Airport Utilities, but it doesn't show up in iTunes. (Weird thing is, it works fine on my other computer, both run Windows Vista).
I guess one answer would be to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes?
Is Apple aware of this issue? It must be a bug in Bonjour. It's been around a long time now. Please fix it!

Airport express green but not showing up in airport utlitity nor airtunes

Hi,
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem for my parents. They have a westell dsl modem wireless access point in their office. To give them better reception in the rest of the house I hooked up an old airport express I had lying around. It works fine and has extended the network perfectly (green light etc.) BUUUTTT why does neither the airport utility nor an ipad, nor itunes "see" the speakers or the even the express ?
What am I missing?
I wouldn't have to have an all apple networking? I seem to remember that i have used the express at hotels and it showed up no problems...
Thanks,
Philly
Airport Express is one of the first ones. Computers running lion and mountain lion. iDevices on the latest 5.X

Hi Carolyn
Thanks for your reply. I'm running 10.6.4.
Unfortunately - no luck with that solution. The Kitchen Airport Express also does not show up in the air tunes on my Apple TV.
I have had no problems with getting airport expresses to show up in air tunes before adding this Dlink to my set up - I think it is something to do with the fact that the DLink is plugged into my Airport extreme. (I have tried DHCP off and on).
Thanks

Can I strem audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes

Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes. where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?

Hello keer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes.
Yes. To stream audio, other than from an iTunes source, to an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?
You can submit suggestions to Apple at the following link: Apple Product Feedback

Airport is green, but not being found..

hi there
ok so i have had my airport express for a couple of years now, with no problems. i have just come back from holiday where prior to this i unplugged my station and modem etc to save power, and to try and be abit greener to the planet.
however i wish i hadnt because now my computer won find the airport station. the internet is definitely working because i tried plugging it directly from the modem to my computer and it works. also my computer is picking up about 5 other nearby wireless networks.
i have since done a factory reset and my computer found the reset airport and i renamed it and set it up again, but as it was restarting the computer lost it once more.
the green light is on, but my computer does not see the airport in itunes, the wireless bit at the top of the computer screen, nor does it find the station on airport utility anymore
does anyone know what is going on, as im pretty stumped by all this.
any hel would be very appreciated.
matt

Airport Express works but not recognized by Airport Utility

This is a multi-part issue.
My airport express is online, recognized by by network manager but is not seen by the Airport Utility. I am running the latest firm ware upgrade and Airport utility for windows versions
The network is working. My laptops working on wireless connect to my network. However, my IPOD touch will not connect to the network even though I get a strong signal and the touch indicates it is connected to the network.

It happened to me today. I noticed that if you change the name of the Airport Express and also some other information in other tabs, like the wireless info, and then you save (the AE restarts) then it is ot available.
To solve the issue that I could not see it anymore, I connected to the AE with a LAN ethernet cable, then executed the set ups one tab at the time, saving (restarting) in between.
It works

Airport express is green - but not showing up in AirportUtility or AirTunes

Hello everyone
I have an Airport Extreme as my main base station upstairs. I have recently plugged in a Dlink615 using an ethernet cable to give me wireless signal in over my kitchen downstairs. This has worked well and we can all use our laptops etc. in the Kitchen now.
However - I have an Airport Express plugged in - in the kitchen, and have configured it to join the wireless network being pumped out by the Dlink - all seems to be well - the Airport Express appears to connect fine and go green - but following this, the Airport Express can not be found by the Airport Utility and does not show up in AirTunes.
Can any one offer any advice?
Thanks very much.

Airport express is green but not showing up

My airport express used to work awesome, when my timecapsule was hosting the wireless.
My time capsule died, and now my airport express doesn't work.
I have done a thousand resets, and eveytime i set it up witout any trouble. Then after a couple of hours it stops working, despite the green light is still on. Now i have a ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1 as a router.

Airport Express works, but MacBook doesn't when connected directly to Modem

I have an interesting problem. I have Verizon DSL. Airport Express works, but Linksys and Netgear wifi routers don't work. Further more, if I disconnect the wifi router and directly connect a MacBook or a Windows notebook they don't work. These devices work if I enter a static IP address though. It is DHCP that doesn't work.
I have been using Verizon DSL for several years, and most recently I was using a Netgear wifi router. A few days ago it lost internet connection. Thinking that the Netgear broke, I bought a new Linksys WRT54GL to replace it. But it didn't work either. I happened to have an Airport Express lying around, so I connected that and surprisingly it worked! Then I wrote down the IP address shown by Airport Utility and typed that IP into Netgear as a static IP address and it worked too. If I remove all wifi equipment and connect a Windows PC or a MacBook directly to the DSL modem then neither works. (Note: my DSL modem doesn't use PPPoE it uses DHCP.)
So it seems that something changed with Verizon's DHCP such that only Airport Express can work. Contacting Verizon support was useless. What is so magical about Airport Express? I can't use Airport Express permanently because I have 3 wired computers to connect also, and Airport Express have ethernet ports. Airport Extreme does, so I am wondering if I should get one of those. Will the magic of Airport Express work in Extreme also?
Does anyone know what is going on? How is Airport Express work with Verizon DHCP when nothing else can?

Hello petilon. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Does anyone know what is going on? How is Airport Express work with Verizon DHCP when nothing else can?
It sounds like Verizon is keying on the MAC address of the device connected to its modem ... so either they require that you register a MAC address with them or there is a problem with the modem in that it is retaining it even though you change the device connected.
If you haven't already, be sure to perform a complete power recycle when changing out network equipment. The following should be done each time:
o Power-down, the modem, router, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical. If the modem has a backup battery, it should be removed and replaced to make sure that any stored configuration information is erased.
o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the router; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).

If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo. When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.

If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo. When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station. I just bought the Airport Express and it's not clear how I should set up my System Preferences for Sharing. Thx

Yes. Unfortunately the stereo is too far from the wired ethernet connection My iMac is connected to the internet using an ethernet cable from the DSL modem (plugged into the wall, not wireless). The Airport Express is plugged into an outlet 25' away from the iMac and connected to my speakers. I've turned on the iMac Airport wireless Internet Sharing, hoping to stream iTunes to the Express connected to the stereo. The iMac Airport picks up several neighborhood networks so I know it's working (and I connected my iPhone wifi to it just to check as well).
When I use Airport Utility to set up the Express, the only time Utility recognizes the Express is when the iMac Airport is off. When I turn on the iMac Airport, the Airport Utility immediately loses the Express and asks to rescan.
Maybe that explains my problem better.

Airport Express Green Light - Can't Get To Internet

Hello.
I'm staying at a friends cottage. Their internet works fine (I can connect via ethernet to the internet). I can get the wireless network to work fine using Airport Express (green light on AX, shows network signal in menu bar).
When I try and connect to the internet via AX it fails.
I am using WPA2 Personal for the password.
Am I missing something simple?
Thanks in advance.
Hello... I tried to find this before I asked, but I couldn't narrow the search enough to find an answer... I'm sorry if this has been asked a lot before.

Michael Tutton1 wrote:
I am connected directly from the back of the modem to the ethernet on the AX.
So you're replacing the friends' equipment (if any) with your AX? Some questions:
1) Did you remove power from the modem for several minutes before you connected your AX? Some modems will refuse to connect to a "new" device until they're reset by that process.
2) How is your AX configured? Settings in AirPort Utility of particular interest are AirPort panel, Wireless tab, Wireless Mode and Internet panel, Internet Connection tab, Connection Sharing.

Installed but not found on computer

I've successfully installed the latest 10.1 for my 64-bit laptop with Windows 7. A check by Adobe confirms that it was properly installed, and that I have the correct version for my computer.
AND YET, there is no icon for it anywhere, it doesn't come up on my list of Programs, when I enter "Adobe Flash Player" in the search bar it shows no such program, and when I try to play a FLV file, it won't give me Flash Player as an option. So..... I have it on my computer, but I apparently am not allowed to see it or access it?
I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. Any help for this maddening situation?

Hi,
Yes, I read his comments and I made sure Shockwave Flash Object was enabled in IE as he suggested. I am trying to make a flip book. One of the posts here in the forum said to make a SWF file, which I did. But now I can't figure out how to do anything with it. I thought Flash Reader was the right program to look at it, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I need Flash itself? The flip book thing has me pretty frustrated and confused. All the sites and software I've tried are poor quality. I was hoping I could figure out how to do it through Adobe to get better quality.

Re: Installed but not found on computer
Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a stand alone Player. You should have Shockwave Flash Object in add ons in IE and make sure it is enabled.
Your Flash files are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
You may want the Adobe Media Player:http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
Hope that helps,

Looked for but Not found

I have looked for but not found. So that means that more than likely I have just not looked in the right place.
What I am trying to find is the total number of contacts the the 8530 will hold. IE; 500? 1000?
I know that each contact will take so many numbers and so many email address's but how many individual contacts will it allow you to add?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I have yet to see a credible source publish actual limits for records on any of the calendar, memo, tasks, or contacts apps. If you find one please post. I usually tell users to keep it manageable. To me 6,000 contacts? Seriously?
Heck I wasn't stationed with 6,000 people in the U.S Army! .
Remember the device memory is flash memory, designed for keeping all device functions running at peek levels. Storing large amounts of records just takes that much dynamic memory and makes it static.
Let me know your thoughts!

If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.
