Airport express speaker selection

Is it possible to have multiple airport expresses on the same network and select a specific express with speakers and then be able to switch expresses/speakers i.e a different room or area?
Thanks.

Yes, you can have multiple Airport Express Base Stations (AX), each connected to speakers or an audio receiver. You can then stream from iTunes (or other sources) to one or multiple AXs simultaneously.

    for the time being, yes.
    however, Airfoil can do what you want.

    Hi Murray,
    What version of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader are you using? Are you trying to open the PDF files from the Finder, or in Acrobat/Reader?
    We look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Since update, Airport Express not selectable...anyone else?

    I can't check the box in the "Multiple Speakers" window. I went into Preferences and ensured that the "Look for other speakers" box was checked, and it is. What the hay? Ticks me off, that thing cost me a bundle new, and now I can't use it, why?

    Ah. Odd that this is already in the Help menu....they knew it was going to happen, so they already had it in the Help menu?? Hmmm... Anyway, I hope this helps someone like me.
    iTunes 7 for Mac: AirTunes won't connect to remote speakers
    Symptom
    When using iTunes 7.0 for Mac, some users may not be able to connect to remote speakers using an Airport Express base station. In this case, the remote speakers would be visible in iTunes 7.0, but iTunes would timeout while trying to connect and the speaker menu would return to Computer.
    Products affected
    iTunes 7.0 for Mac
    Airport Express base station
    Solution
    To resolve this issue, IPv6 needs to be enabled for the network interface you are using to connect to the Airport Express base station. Follow the steps below to enable IPv6:
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Network.
    From the Show pop-up menu, choose the network interface used to connect to the Airport Express Base Station (typically the network interface used is Airport).
    Select the TCP/IP tab.
    Click the Configure IPv6 button.
    From the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu, choose Automatically.
    Click Ok and then click Apply Now.
    Reconnect to remote speakers in iTunes 7.

  • Airport Express speaker problem

    I have an Airport Extreme running my home network with two Airport Expresses, both hooked up to powered speakers. One Express is the older model, the other brand new. AirTunes intermittently drops one or the other speaker setup. My question is this- would I potentially fix this problem by upgrading the older Express to a new one? Thanks!

    My question is this- would I potentially fix this problem by upgrading the older Express to a new one?
    If all of your wireless client support 802.11n, then the answer would be yes. In that case you could create an 802.11n only network to get the best bandwidth possible for streaming.

  • Airport Express Speaker Option

    I have an Airport Express connected to my wireless network, but when I try to toggle the speakers from computer to "Airport Express 63314f" (the name of the AE), that selection is grayed out. So iTunes seems to recognize the AE is therre, but won't let me use it. Why? How do I acess the speakers?

    I've been having an AE and had the same problem.
    I updated the firmware here:

    worked like a charm!!

  • Airport Express Speaker output very quiet with 60-cycle hum

    I've previously hooked up my Airport Express to my stereo system via AirTunes, and it worked fine. But I just moved and set up my home network with my Airport Express connected to the stereo with the mini-stereo adapter. But now, when I play music over AirTunes, I can hear the music very faintly, but it's about the same volume as a 60-cycle electrical interference hum, and definitely not listenable. So I know the music is streaming and the AirPort is receiving, but I'm wondering if it's an electrical problem with the AirPort or output jack, or is there some software or hardware fit I can do myself. I've plugged in & out the cord, it works with an iPod, it's connected to a non-Phono jack of the stereo (AUX port), and I've reset the AirPort Express unit. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hello AOSmith. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To rule out your stereo or audio cable, try substituting a pair of stereo headphones plugged directly into the AX's audio port. Do you still hear the hum? If so, then the problem is either with the AX itself or the power source is not properly shielded. Try connecting the AX to a known good power strip; one that has surge protection and/or noise cancelling capability would be ideal, and then, plug this into the outlet that you had the AXn connected to. Did this help? If not, then unfortunately, the problem may be with either the AX's audio and/or power circuit.

  • Multiple Speaker Problem with Airport Express

    I'm having an issue with my Airport Express in selecting Multiple Speakers. I have one Airport Express located in the Living Room, and have no problem playing music on that directly from iTunes. However I cannot play there and on the Mac at the same time. An error message comes up:
    An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "Living Room". An unknown error occurred (-15000).
    I can clear the error and then go back to listening either in the living room or on the computer, but not both.
    I have tried reinstalling everything...iTunes, Airport, Mac OSX, you name it.
    Any ideas anyone?

    I may have a solution for you Shannon. My solution, found after a lengthly Apple Support call, applies to Tiger 10.4.11 however it likely applies to Leopard as well. The problem is with your Firewall settings which may be blocking UDP access and or have it operating under a Stealth Mode. It must be set to allow UDP Traffic.
    In 10.4.11 under System preferences/Sharing/Firewall under the Advanced button there are three checkboxes "Block UDP Traffic" "Enable Firewall Logging" and "Enable Stealth Mode". Uncheck all three of these boxes and it should work.

  • Airport Express appears as an option in iTunes but sound only plays on comp

    I used to be able to play itunes music through my computer or through an amplifier connected to an Airport Express. Since upgrading to iTunes 8 there is a third option displayed in the lower right portion of the iTunes window, "multiple speakers", but now, no matter which option I select the music plays through my computer and not through the remote speakers connected to the amplifier. Any one else have this problem? Any solutions?
    I have turned off IPv6 to no effect. The Airport Express seems to be functioning normally as a wireless network. I have changed the iTunes preferences with respect to controlling sound in remote speakers with no effect.

    There is a 3.5mm standard headphone audio output on the bottom of the airport express. If you plug speaks or headphones into this port while airport express is selected in iTunes, you be able to hear your music. Usefull if your destop is in one room and you want to hear music from it in another room where the airport is located.

  • How do I configure airport express to use HD TV speakers for airplay audio streaming?

    I'm trying to configure my airport express to use the speakers on my HDTV for audio airplay streaming.  I have an aux to dual component cable (red and white) that I've been using when I attach my Macbook Pro to my HDTV as a second monitor.  They work fine for audio in this case.  I figured I could just take the aux end of this cable, plug it into the airport express, and select the correct input from my TV menu and I'd have audio.  However, it's not working.  I took another speaker system I have around the house and plugged that into the airport express to make sure the airplay streaming is configured correctly and that worked fine.  Any ideas why it won't work to my TV?  Thanks.

    To do what  you want using any of the recent versions of AirPort Utility for the Mac, it will be a two part process.
    1) Connect the AirPort Express using Ethernet and configure it to "create a network". Any network name will do. Update to save the configuration.
    2) Once that has been done, go back into AirPort Utility and manually turn off the wireless function of the AirPort Express.
    Now you have an AirPort Express that connects using Ethernet while providing support for AirPlay, which is enabled by default on the Express. 

  • AirPort Express Dropping Connection to AirTunes via Ethernet Connection

    I connect to my AirPort Express via ethernet using iTunes and AirTunes. I am using Windows Vista. The device works great for roughly 15 or so minutes, and then seems to loose its connection with iTunes. iTunes continues to play the music, but there is no sound coming out of the audio device connected to the AEx. If I toggle the Computer Speaker/AirPort Express output selection in iTunes it reconnects successfully with my AEx and will work as expected for a period of time, and then will eventually drop the connection (or at least the audio stops) again. I've used my AEx successfully for a couple years now - something over the last few months changed as this behavior is new. I am using the latest firmware and the latest version of iTunes.
    Anybody have any ideas? Are there known software/firmware compatibility issues?

    This might be the same problem you are having. There is no fix as of yet.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 11.0.5 and now Airport Express doesn't work

    Just installed the iTunes 11.0.5 update and now I can't get my Airport Express to work.  iTunes won't play and says it can't recognize the Airport Express device.  Even when re-booted at both the iMac and the Airport Express - the link is broken.  iTunes won't even play the media when the Airport Express is selected -- but the Apple TV and the Computer both work well.   Never had this issue before the 11.0.5 update.  Any thoughts or assistance?

    Thank you very much for your reply. I did find 2 previous iTune libraries but they seem to be empty.
    Your advice on back up is gratefully noted ... I always assumed Time Machine would do the job.
    I guess like many people I've spoken to it's time to move away from Apple ...a declinig market may be the only thing which will make them realise they need to be more responsive to and respectaful of  the millions of individuals who have been their loyal customers for many years.
    My business has started moving to Windows and we have been surprised how good it is and products like Office 360 are fabulous in the business environment. We have heaps of iMacs ready for the scrap heap!
    I am now looking for an alternative to iTunes. Not an easy feat but clearly there is a huge market opportunity out there for someone to produce a decent product. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

  • Airport Express - Zeppelin Mini - No Sound?

    Hi
    I have a new Zeppelin Mini, connected to airport Express using TOSLINK cable with 3.5mm adapters into the Aux port. Its on an existing network.
    - Ive updated the firmware on the Mini and it said successful
    - ITunes can see the airport express and select it as speakers, sound stops coming out of the computer
    - Zeppelin Mini can switch to Aux (Orange Light), making it look like it recognises the Aux input
    ....but no sound from the Zeppelin Mini.
    Help???
    Many thanks!!

    Ok, I think that is the problem. The Zeppelin requires an analog audio input ... not digital. You just need to use an analog cable that has 3.5 mm plugs on both ends. An example would be: 6ft 3.5mm M/M Stereo Audio Cable

  • Cannot select Airport Express as speaker from iTunes

    I have installed iTunes 7.6.2.9 on a MS Windows Vista Home Premium, and I get the speaker selector in the lower right corner as I´m used to, since I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo. I can also click the name of the AE, but the selection stays at "This computer".
    The settings in the AE does not give me a clue as to what is wrong. Can anyone here help? Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    David List

    Found the problem myself: the parental control settings in MS Windows Vista, which I had turned on for the sake of logging activity on my non-privileged user account. I had set the settings for this account so that nothing was restricted - it was just the logging that was done. Nevertheless, this was what gave me the problem with external speaker, and also with iTunes Store generally dying on me - or at least responding sloooooooooowly.
    Best regards,

  • 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.
