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.

How can I play music through safari specifically youtube on my Mac book pro over soundlink to my bose wireless speaker I can only play audio from itunes at present? HELP PLEASE!

Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

Airport Express connected but keeps disappearing from itunes

HI,
I have an airport express which is connected to some speakers and I'm using Airplay to stream music from Itunes to the speakers.
However the speakers keep disappearing from itunes. If I reboot the Airport Express they reappear, then have a few hours will disappear again!
In all cases I can connect to the Airport using the configuration utility and I can ping the device, so I don't think it's a problem with the Wifi, just with Airplay. Also the Airport express is only 4 meters from the Access Point.
I have two windows 7 machines, both using itunes (latest version) and a MAC - all machines have the same difficulty with the speakers intermittently disappearing.
Also on the network I have 2 x TVs and a Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin - all working fine with Airplay.
The Airport Express is on version 7.5.2 and is using a static IP address.
Any Thoughts anyone?

Did you disconnect the cable modem's power supply before re-connecting it and then attaching the AirPort Express device? Be sure to pull the power spike—don't just use an on/off switch.
On some older cable modems, it's necessary to leave the power cable unplugged for up to 12 hours or so.

Remote speakers via Airport Express no longer working on one iTunes instance

I have iTunes on my iPhone, Windows desktop, and Windows laptop. At one time they all connected to my Airport Express with remote speakers attached. At some point, after a version upgrade, my laptop no longer sees the remote speakers while the other devices work fine. I can connect to the Airport Express from the laptop, there is no connectivity issue. I can even use the Apple Utility to read/change the settings.
How can I get the remote speakers working again?
Thanks, Andrew

Hello Andrew,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with AirPlay through iTunes on your laptop. I found an article with things you can check when you are not able to AirPlay.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear" in the article below, but this step specifically stands out to me for the situation you described:
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
You can find the full article here:

Two Airport Express no longer playing AirPlay?

Hi all,
I've had two Airport Express devices for about 3 years now, they all work fine as access points, have been kept up to date with firmware etc. but since a couple of months ago or so (I don't exactly know when, I've been away for some time) any attempt at playing from iTunes on my 2010 macbook pro fail with "connection timed out" problems. The airport express can be seen and managed just fine in the configuration utility. I even tried using a second airport express with the same result.
Nothing has changed in my network or computer hardware, the only changes have been updates to mountain lion (after which it still worked I should add) and the usual itunes updates.
Is this Apple scheming me into buying new hardware?
Cheers

Airport Express Intermittent loss of signal from iTunes

My setup has been in place for some time and consists of a Windows machine w/iTunes and an Airport Express connected to my main stereo. Throughout mutliple iterations of iTunes S/W version and Aiport Express Firmware versions, it seems that there are certain versions that were very stable and others that were not. The current iTunes version seems to have this problem regularly and the problem is this - As I'm listening to music streaming from iTunes wirelessly to the Airport Express and to my stereo, it seems to lose connectivyt momentarily and then regain it. I have two Airport Expresses and they both react the same. This is very frustrating. Has anyone else encountered this and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Howard

Solved it!
I tried everything - re-installing Airport Firmware, Airfoil, Robustness Interference, passwords for the remote speakers....
It kept nagging at me that the drops were often regular at every 60 seconds and Windows Zero Configuration reportedly checks for a stronger signals every 60 seconds.
So today I tried installing the Manufacturer's Wireless Utility and disabling Microsoft's Windows Zero Configuration. This worked perfectly - no more dropouts.
As before iTunes7 never had the problem - it started with iTunes8 - I assume iTunes8 is less able to buffer network dropouts.
I have spent a lot of time on this - but I am very happy to have working music again.....

IPhoto slideshows will no longer play songs from iTunes since I upgraded to Mavericks. In fact trying to use a song from iTunes crashes iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Having a lot of problems with iPhoto since upgrading to Mavericks. Wondering if there's not enough memory in my version (I was unable to update iMovie because my system is incompatible with the new version.) A slideshow will play but silently even though there appears to be a song from iTunes attached. Two songs where I've had this problem were not purchased from iTunes but downloaded from personal CDs. Very frustrating as I simply cannot figure it out. And getting direct help from Apple either via Chat or Phone has become near impossible as you try to wade through the roadblocks of links upon links. I tried to create a new slideshow and pull in songs but the same thing happened. The aforementioned songs play OK on my iPad just not on myiMac - it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, so aging not well perhaps! Any ideas welcome.

OK, answering my own question..well, via Arleen 259 and Old Toad apparently courtesy of keysandfood! (Copy of Old Toad post below. Thanks to all...IT WORKED!
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

IDVD asks repeatedly to authorize computer to play audio from iTunes

Everytime I try to add an audio file from my iTunes library to my iDVD menu, it asks me to authorize the computer. So I authorize the computer but it never adds the audio. So I drag the audio clip again to where I want it to play, and it asks me to authorize again. And again and again. Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks for any help!!

Can I assume that the audio file in question has been downloaded to iTunes rather than copied from a CD?
What you see is one of the more irritating side-effects of DRM copyright protected tracks.
The workaround is to burn that track to a CD, then import the track from the CD back into iTunes and save it as an AIFF file.
That Audio track should import into iDVD without trouble.

Can no longer play music from iTunes on Apple TV

I used to be able to choose in iTunes where I wanted to play music - my computer or Apple TV. There was a drop down menu in the bottom right corner of iTunes. I no longer have this option. Is this no longer possible?

Still possible.
You need to ensure AppleTV has the Airtunes function enabled in it's settings:
Settings>Airtunes>Airtunes - On

Since updating my OS I can no longer play anything from iTunes on my mac.

I've updated to Yosemite but now nothing will play on my mac in iTunes. Other videos, music etc seem to be fine but nothing in my library will play.

It's OK. I've managed to cure that problem, only to now encounter another one. Can't get my mac to recognise my iPod now. :-/

I have two airport express I cant play both from my Ipad any soutions

I have

Sorry, but there is no current solution for this. For now iOS (iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch) devices can only stream to one AirPlay device at a time.

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.

HT4072 Can I play audio from movies in the DVD player using iTunes or Airplay?

I would like to play audio from movies in the MacBook DVD player using iTunes or Airplay? Is this possible?

Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Audio from itunes doesn't play well in imovie HD 6

I have quicktime 7.1 and imovie HD 6 and my audio from itunes plays only for a few seconds and goes out and doesn't play anymore throughout the movie. I'm only using photos and no transitions at the moment. It worked completely fine before upgrading to ilife 06. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hello Tia,
iMovie has quite an issue with Music Store files. See Karl Petersens post: Stutter in iMovie 5 & 6 — causes and workarounds
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
What you are looking for is workaround No. 5: Burn iTunes Songs to Audio CD
Generally it is recommended to work with AIFF files in iMovie/iDVD. To convert your iTunes music go to Preferences > Importing and choose AIFF Encoder from the drop-down menu. Now all music will be imported as AIFF. In addition to that you can ctrl-click existing files and choose "Convert to AIFF" from the pop-up menu.
Note that this will duplicate the files, so after conversion you'll have for example one m4p and one AIFF with the same name.
hope this helps

Suddenly,all my audio is not working. I can play songs from itunes but app audio is gone. What can I do/

I'm not sure what is happening. Suddenly all the audio is missing! I dont have ringtone when I get a call, or for an alarm. I can only play songes from itunes. All the sounds from apps and games are gone too. I have tried a restart, and i guess the next step is a reset. What else can I do?

Is the silent switch on the side of the iphone on?
