AirPort Express+Stereo+iTunes+XP not working since download

I added an AirPort Express Base Station to boost my wireless LAN coverage and hook up my Stereo to iTunes. It all worked fine when turned on. Used it for about a month. I downloaded the latest iTunes lately and now I don't see the option to direct the output to my stereo system. I am using iTunes on a PC but my LAN includes a wireless connect to an old power book(OSX), a laptop PC(XP), a wired Linux box(SUSE) and a couples of wired Sun Micros. Once in a while the wife tunes in on the wireless LAN with her Apple laptop. How do I get the stereo to connection to show up on iTunes again?
Thanks!

Hi Chris
Thanks for your response. However, the firewall is not blocking iTunes from accessing the internet. The exception is already added as per the instructions in the link and iTunes can 'see' both the Airport Express and Apple TV. It just can't stream music to either with the firewall enabled.
Note: The inbound rule for iTunes is there and allows access on all ports and all IP addresses.

Airport Express USB printing suddenly not working

Hi, we have an airport express which doesn't seem to be working properly. We've had it at least 2 years now. All has been working fine but suddenly USB printing is not working on it. When I load up AirPort utility and go to the printers tab, it says "USB printers: None". It didn't use to say that! I've checked the printer - it works fine when printing direct from computer to printer over USB (hence both the printer and the USB lead are fine). We use the airport express for iTunes and it works fine. The airport is running version 6.3. We used to print (when it worked) from both Windows computers running XP and from macs running Snow Leopard...
Any thoughts?
Edward

Erm... help!
In a bid to try to sort out the problem myself, I decided to restore the Airport Express (b/g) to the factory default and see if that helped... I did this through the airport utility. The airport reset fine and I then went through the set-up wizard. However, when it then tried to restart as part of the setup process, it said that there was an error and that it could not restart. It said to restart the airport utility and try again. This I did but it cannot see the airport. If I rescan, it says the same thing (unable to find any apple wireless devices). What should I do?
All thoughts and suggestions gratefully received!

AirPort Express - Stereo (ext. loudspeaker), music works, film not

Hi there,
When listening to music i use the external loudspeakers,
through a UTP connection to Airport express,
which is connected to my stereo.
Listening to music works perfectly,
yet when whatching MPEG4 video through my Itunes,
the sound comes through my computer,
and NOT through my external loudspeakers.
any suggestions ?

Hi,
have you selected your stereo speakers in the dropdown menu at the bottom of iTunes? If not, it will play through your built-in speakers as usual.

I did a hard reset on the airport express, but it did not work

I successfully reset the airport express once, got it set up, plugged in the new speakers, they worked for about 1 minute, then the blinking yellow error code started on the airport express. Since then I have tried to do a hard reset numerous times and stil get the blinking yellow light. Please help!

My Airport Express ethernet port is not working

I recently purchased a refurb Airport Express (latest version) to extend my home wifi. Extending the network works fine. I then tried to set it up as a wireless bridge to my new AV receiver but the receiver would not connect -- no IP address, nada zip. I had changed the settings to join a wireless network and checked allow ethernet client, rebooted the express several times, even tried a hard reset. I connected two laptops using a spare ethernet cable. The won't connect either. It keeps trying to connect, but it does not succeed. Am i doing something wrong or does the refurb unit have a dead ethernet port. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

When extending the network, my wireless clients get an ip. The Express is just acting as a pass through the router. The laptop I am typing this on is getting its signal from Express.
When I change the configuration to have the express function as a wireless bridge to my new AV receiver, nothing. No IP, no connectivity of any kind. I then tried in with this laptop (Win 7 HP) and my wife's MacBook Pro. No connection. It keeps trying, it goes through an identifying cycle but then says no cable connected. I have tried different cables and still nothing. Are there any other settings in the airport utility that I am supposed to change beside the wireless tab where I set it as join the network and allow ethernet clients. I retyped the WPA2 password just in case. I'm stumped and would appreciate any assistance.

AirPort Express (802.11g) suddenly not working

Hi;
I've been using my AirPort Express unit for years now. For the last 6 months I've been using it to supply music to a set of speakers in my living room with no problem.
Suddenly today, I notice that for some reason, AirTunes can't see the Unit, nor can AirPort Admin Utility nor AirPort Setup Assistant.
The Unit has a solid green light on it, indicating it thinks it's working, but I can't seem to find it.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I reset the unit, and was able to configure it using AirPort Setup Assistant, but although the light is still solid green, iTunes and AirPort Admin still can't see it.

Airport Express ; Airtunes via ethernet not working...

Hi there,
I have a problem with my airport and I can't find any solution online...I explain. I have an airport express (version 7.5.2) connected to my network on ethernet. The airport is connected to a router in bridge mode.
When I want to listen music with my laptop on Wifi it work perfectly but I can't make my desktop computer, which is also connected to the router via ethernet, detect the speaker with Airlay and I can't find why !
I already tried to disable firewall of course but no luck...
The only possible cause I see is that perhaps IPV6 is needed to make it work ??
Any explanation ?
Thks

Your laptop presumably is connecting via Wifi directly to the Airport Express. From the perspective of the AE, it is on the LAN side. Your AE is connected via eithernet to the rest of your network. From the perspective of the AE, this is on the WAN side.
Use Airport Utility to check the settings of the AE.
1) Select the Airport Express Device
2) Click Manual Setup
3) From the icons across the top, click "Music"
4) Is the "Enable Airplay over WAN" checkbox checked? I'm guessing probably not. Click that checkbox and update the AE (it will restart). You should then be able to see it from the WAN/ethernet side.

Airport express, green light but not working.

while streaming music to airport express, it suddenly stops. Green light on AE, but connection with wireless net is gone. iPad airport express app tells that the AE was in a network and isn't anymore. Only way to get it back working is power off/on. Sounds familiar? Any tips what can be the issue?

Is the AirPort Express the only wireless router in your current network configuration or is it configured to "join" another wireless network for streaming. If there is another wireless router, where is the Express placed in relation to it ... same room, different room, different floor?
When streaming from your iPad, is it in the same room, different room, or different floor than the Express?

Airport Express and Extreme are not working together

My new airport extreme came up just fine. All my Macs and PCs connected effortlessly.
The same can not be said for my Airport Express. I reset it, and it takes the config, then vanishes. Connected directly to my Mac, to the Airport Express, or via wireless to the express, it still just disappears and gives a blinking amber light.
I tried re-installing 6.3 firmware, with no luck. Any ideas?

Dan,
Thanks for the clarification. The behavior you're encountering sounds as if it may be the expected behavior of an Airport Express after it has been set to client mode, but wasn't able to join the network. Typically when setting up an Airport Express you'd want the unit to be in the same room as the Extreme, and then if the Airport LED is not going green then it's typically an authentication association relates situation. Have you reviewed knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153 ?

Chris

Airport Express dmz (Default address) not working same with port forwarding

My configuration is as follows: MacBook Pro w/10.5.4 Server and standard, Comcast HighSpeed cable, Airport Express.
With the laptop connected directly, all services work fine. Specifically Web serving, Quicktime streaming server.
With Airport connected, all browsing works. Forwarding to web server port 80 works.
Forwarding to QTSS doesn't work.
Setting the default address (DMZ) doesn't solve problem.
Ideas?

I used the Expess presets. Ports 554 and 7070. I even tried adding UDP ports from the setup manual.
My real issue is that the DMZ should direct all traffic to the server and it doesn't seem to be working.
