Airport Express' no longer available to iTunes as remote speakers

Hi,
     I'm running Windows 7, iTunes 10.6.1.7 and the firmware on my airports is 7.6.1.
I'm having a wierd issue where I can't use iTunes itself to send audio to the airports.  There is no mulitple speaker icon in the lower right corner like there used to be.
My iPhones can select any of the airports as multiple speakers, it works perfectly.  I have Airfoil on my PC and it displays all 3 of the airports correctly and I can send audio to them.  I can even use airfoil to play iTunes to the airports.
So, I know that the PC can connect to them since airfoil is working.  I know the wireless portion is working correctly becuase the iPhones can connect.  It's just iTunes itself.
What's going on here?  Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

It is common to see strange glitches like this on Win 7.
I suggest you re-boot and see if this fixes it.

  • Airport Express no longer visible from iTunes (Utility and Airfoil work)

    I've see a couple of people getting errors when trying to use AirTunes, but since I upgraded to iTunes 10, iTunes won't even display my Airport, nor is there any visible way to select multiple speakers (it was in the bottom right previously).
    "Look for remote speakers" is checked in iTunes.
    Windows firewall is off, and in the firewall I do use, iTunes and all associated apple networking software is set to have full access (send and recieve).
    The Airport Express is visible and useable from Airfoil, and also works with the setup utility.
    I have just removed all traces of iTunes and anything Apple from the computer and did a fresh install. Still no joy.
    This was working perfectly before iTunes 10 - what's changed? It's not my setup, as Airfoil works, as does the setup util.

    Same problem here. Everything was OK and working before iTunes 10.1.2.17 update on January 27, 2011 for 64bit Windows.
    AE is working when using iTunes & Spotify via Airfoil but not directly from iTunes. Tweaking firewall didn't help either. Well I can live like this thanks to Airfoil but hopefully next iTunes update will fix this problem.

  • ITunes 7 - Airport Express not visible, won't connect to remote speakers

    I upgraded to iTunes 7, and now my Aiport Express does not show up when I open either the Aiport Admin Utility, or the Airport Express Assistant. The remote speakers I have do not show up in iTunes. Evenything worked perfectly on the previous version of iTunes. Anyone have any idea?
    My wireless LAN (which is enabled through the Airport Express) is still working fine.
    Thanks!

    hmmmmm.
    i'm not trying to get rid of you here, but it might be worth also checking-in/reposting over at the Airport for Windows forum. when Airtunes things get sticky, i generally defer to iFelix or RJ in WI, and they spend a lot more time over there than they do here.
    (traffic is so heavy in here at the moment that this thread might be buried out of sight before an AirTunes guru gets to see you.)
    here's a link through to the Airport for Windows forum:

  • My Airport Express will not stream music to my remote speakers through the laptop (windows Vista), gives error code -15000. Works fine from my IPAD and Ipod. Any thoughts, suggestions?

    Itunes is throwing a -15000 error code on my Windows vista. Ipad and Ipod work great for streaming to remote speakers, trying to use the computer and it throws the error code.
    Any thoughts? I've rebooted the laptop, modem, and AE, even plugged in the laptop recommended by other users, still nothing.

    the following is for W7 but might work for you:

  • Why won't my airport express work with the latest iTunes, the airport shows green but there is no icon in iTunes any longer, what has gone wrong, desperate!!

    Airport Express used to work with iTunes v11 but now with v12 there is no sign of the little icon that used to appear over the volume button.  The Airport is finding the network, nothing has changed bar the version of iTunes, what should I do??

    A friend has helped me solve this problem, in my case it was nothing to do with Windows firewalls as some have suggested but it was simply a matter of resetting both the router and the Airport, the Airport is fairly obvious but not the router at least this was the first time I recall HAVING to reset it.

  • Airport Express no longer visible in Airport Utility

    Hi guys, first post on here, so hoping someone can help me.
    I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo and have been using it to stream music with no problems, until today. iTunes told me the airport was no longer available so I opened up the Airport Utility and it showed the Airport as no longer there, so I clicked "forget" in the hope that it would be found again.
    No such luck.
    So I unplugged it from the mains and plugged it back in.
    Same.
    I reset it by pushing in the button.
    Same.
    Airport Utility can't see it, and the network I previously created is not in my list of visible wireless networks.
    How can I reconfigure it?
    Thanks guys!

    If you can't find the express on your network list, then that explains why airport utility could not find it.
    You could reconfigure it by just doing a factory reset. Should get it visible again.

  • My airport express no longer shows up in Airport Utility since I got a new router.

    Hi all, I'm scratching my head at this one.
    For years I've had an Airport Express and it has worked fine. I was using it simply to stream music from iTunes on my PC as well as my iPhone and iPad to my home theater which is in a different room. I had a Linksys WRT150N wireless router, and the Airport Express would join my existing network and stream music via Airplay.
    A few days ago I replaced my Linksys router with a Netgear WNDR3800, and the Airport Express no longer connected. I assumed I had to set it up again, but it is not even recognized by Airport Utility, so I can't get to the setup screen. I tried performing a soft reset, hard reset, and attaching the Airport Express to one of my Netgear's LAN ports via Ethernet cable, but it still won't show up in Airport Utility. The amber light just flashes on the unit and I can't access any setup screens.
    Am I missing something obvious? All of the help tips assume the Airport Express at least shows up in Airport Utility. In my Airport Utility there is nothing to select and it says "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort wireless devices. Make sure the AirPort wireless device you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
    I am running a PC with Windows 7 and using Airport Utility v. 5.6.1 for Windows.
    Thanks for any help!

    Did you try temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable from your PC to the AirPort Express to see if AirPort Utillty could "see" the AirPort Express that way? This method will work virtually all of the time unless the Windows Firewall or the PC's anti-virus program is blocking the connection attempt from your PC to the AirPort Express.
    If you want to configure the Express using wireless only, you need to remember that when you reset the Expess back to default settings, it is now producing a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
    You must log on to the Apple Network xxxxxx wireless network first....no password is required.....and then open AirPort Utility so that your PC will establish a connection to the AirPort Express.
    Once the AirPort Express has been configured to join your Netgear wireless network, you can log back on to your normal wireless network and all devices will be working with one another.

  • Airport Express no longer joins network

    Greetings, I have a cable modem internet connection; I use an older Airport Extreme (802.11n, without Time Capsule) to make a local wifi network with WPA2 Personal security, and an older Airport Express (802.11 b/g, firmware 6.3) to connect a laser printer in a different room.
    All was working well until two days ago when access to the internet disappeared. I reset the modem, confirmed that the cable connection was working by plugging a laptop directly into the modem by ethernet, determining that the problem was the Airport Extreme. I discovered the 7.5.2 firmware update which I uploaded, and all seemed well.
    However, the 27" iMac upstairs only connected to Airport intermittently; it appeared to have been duplicated in name, as well as only recognized the Airport Express. I've since been able to correct that problem, however, now the Airport Express no longer connects to the Airport Extreme network.
    I've tried soft resets (unplugging then plugging back in) and hard resets (pressing the reset button with a paperclip until the amber light flashes, then reconfiguring the device). I've tried setting the Airport Express both just to join the network (printer sharing) as well as extend the network; I also reverted the Airport Extreme's firmware to 7.4.2 which works perfectly well. However, now after each successive attempt to reconfigure the Airport Express to join the network, Airport Utility says that the Airport Express has been successfully updated and will restart, which it never does - it simply flashes an amber light, and Airport Utility eventually times out and says that it was unable to find the Airport Express after restarting, noting that the settings have been successfully updated, but that there is a problem re-joining the wireless network/finding the device. Notably, the Airport Express no longer appears in the left hand list of wireless devices in Airport Utility.
    Help!!

    Hi pslebow,
    You make it sound like there was no change, then suddenly the Airport Express 802.11g lost connection to the wireless network and you can't get it back.
    What network security is your wireless network using?
    From the specification sheet, "…When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express only supports WPA-Personal."
    AirPort Express - Technical Specifications
    Please make sure your router security is set to match.
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
    If you have older Wi-Fi devices on your network that don't support WPA2 Personal (AES), a good second choice is WPA/WPA2 Mode (often referred to as WPA Mixed Mode). This mode will allow newer devices to use the stronger WPA2 AES encryption, while still allowing older devices to connect with older WPA TKIP-level encryption. If your Wi-Fi router doesn't support WPA/WPA2 Mode, WPA Personal (TKIP) mode is the next best choice. 
    Best,
    Nubz

  • 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 Express no longer playing audio from iTunes (airtunes) or Airfoil

    My Airport Extreme recently died so I set up a new wireless network with my 2wire modem from AT&T (Uverse). The new wireless network is fine - laptop connects just fine, Apple TV hasn't had any issues, Netflix through my PS3 hasn't had any problems. However, I'm having problems with the Airport Express in my bedroom. It shows up in airport utility with a green light. It has a green light on the unit itself. It shows up in the multiple speakers pop up in iTunes and shows up in Airfoil's list of available speakers. The problem is whenever I connect to it (from iTunes or Airfoil) it plays audio for one second, then nothing.
    It worked fine with my old network set up. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue as I can see it with no problems and things connect to it fine. Is it possible that it just happen to die at the same time that the Airport Extreme died? So when I set up the new wireless network, it was dead? I'm on 10.7.4.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    some times the electricity blinks in the house... have you tried restarting both units... just unplug it for ten seconds then plug back in.
