Airport Express wont connect with iTunes Win XP

I have had two airport express devices to stream music from my XP machine through iTunes to two rooms in my house. My wireless network was unsecured so I wanted to secure it and then reconfigure all my devices. When I went to reconfigure the airport devices, I reset them, connected an internet cable to them, went through the Airport Utility routine, entered the right network name and password keys, and got the big green check mark at the end. The light on the Airport turned green, I unplugged the internet cable, it stayed green. Opened iTunes and saw my new device in the itunes window. But when I clicked on it, iTunes couldnt stream any music to it and finally gave up. Opening up airport utility it says it cant find any devices on the network even thought the light is green.
Any help please. I have spent all day trying to figure out what the deal is. I have been a user for multiple years and now cant even configure back to an unsecured network as before. I do run Msft Live One Care but the firewall doesnt seem to matter.
Thanks,

It seems the issue is with the ActionTec PK5000 modem/router. ActionTec confirms an issue with the units ability to stream music/media via wireless. No answer as to when this will be fixed.

I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

Airport express wont connect to internet

i cant get my airport express to connect to the internet

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Airport express not connecting to iTunes

I have an iMac with Lion 10,7.3 . I'm using a time capsule as the main base station , I have installed an airport expres to stream music from the iTunes library to the speakers connecto to de airport express. I have set up the AE with Airport utilitty version 6.0, the AE appears in the list of external speaker to be selected in the iTunes right corner but the iTunes does not connect to the airport express and no message error is displayed.

Some have found that they were able to solve this issue by disabling IPv6 on Macs running OS X Lion.
To disable IPv6 in OS X Lion, you will need to use the Terminal.
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
To determine what are all of your Mac's network interfaces are, issue the following command: networksetup -listallnetworkservices
To disable IPv6 for wireless, issue the following command: networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi; to disable IPv6 for Ethernet, issue the following command: networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
To re-enable IPv6, use -setv6automatic instead

Airport Express HELP Connecting with a wire

I have 3 airport express two G one N just want to connected one of the g
one with a cable to the new airport express n. I have one as the Base station with internet connection
the other G one is setup as a remote one but from the remote one i have a cable etheret i want to
connecton to the n airport express on a WDS network

If I understand correctly, what you are doing is trying to set up a network bridge. Instead of Extending the Network, use the 2nd Express G to connect to the 1st Express G via the Client Connect option. Then connect the 2nd Express to a Network Switch. Also, connect the Express N to the same network switch. You should be good after that.
Oh and make sure both the 2ng Express G and the Express N are both configured for Bridged Mode.

Airport Express not working with iTunes

After experiencing cutting out and poor sound quality, I reset my Airport Express to factory settings. It is part of of my network with an Airport Extreme. Everything appears to be correctly configured and I get a message indicating it was successful, but then I get an error message after the restarting of the Airport Express and I can no longer see airport Express listed in the Airport Utility window. Playing iTunes through my stereo speakers does not work. In order to attempt the configuration again, I have to reset the Airport Express to see it in the window again. I get the same result each time. Can you suggest anything in the configuration of my Airport Express which would be causing the problem I have an iMac running OS 10.4 Thanks for your help.

I had a similar problem. My solution was NOT to use the Airport Utility application. Make sure you reset your airport express then do the following:
1/ Open Preferences
2/ Choose Network
3/ Highlight Airport and insure it is clicked "ON".
4/ See if it shows up under "Network Name"....if it does click "Apply".
Let me know if u get it working...

Sharing airport express internet connection with router and wired network

Dear,
I want to set up the following network, but can't succeed.
Components:
2 Powermacs quad G5's (airport and two ethernet ports)
2 Powerbooks G4 (airport and 1 ethernet port)
1 broadband wired router (1 Wan and 4 Lan ports)
1 airport express
1 cable internet connection.
1 LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 300 GB
The internet connection is at the other site of the office (little architecture office). It is not possible to get the internetconnection directly to the desk wth the computer. 1 Powermac G5 is set up to share his internet connection. (Share via airport with ethernet 1). The ethernet 1 port is connected to the Wan port of the wired router. The other Powermac G5's ethernet 1 port is connected to Lan 1 of the router. The LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 300 GB is connected to the the Lan 2 of the router.
All the conputers get their IP adresses bij DHCP. The router is set to distribute IP adresses. Without the router and the LaCie everything works fine. There is internet connection on every computer and filesharing in between them is possible.
I like to be able to do the following.
Use airport connection on the two powerbooks, for internet and access to the network. Use the wired connection between the powermacs and the lacie for filesharing. On the second powermac use internetconnection through the router. With this configuration is it possible to copy files fast between the powermacs and the lacie harddisk.
At the moment I'm trying to get internet connection on the second powermac. The ethernet port gives me a proper IP-adress and tells me that I can connect to the internet, but it won't let me go on the internet and when I turn the airport back on, safari buggs. Without the ethernet cable connected I can go on the internet without anny problem, but off cours the fast filesharing isn't possible any more.
A drawing of the desired network can be downloaded at the folowing website

Is there a possible sollution to this problem?
thank you verry much
Jeroen

Disable the DHCP server on your wired router. Since your Power Mac G5 Jeroen is sharing Internet, it is already providing DHCP.
Use airport connection on the two powerbooks, for internet and access to the network.
Sorry, but it is not possible for the PowerBooks to access the subnet created by the Power Mac G5 Jeroen.
Use the wired connection between the powermacs and the lacie for filesharing.
Shouldn't be a problem.
On the second powermac use internetconnection through the router.
On Power Mac G5 Jeroen, you will need to disable the firewall or open the ports through the firewall needed by Power Mac G5 Nico to access the Internet.
Is there a possible sollution to this problem?
What you have is incredibly complicated. A much simpler solution is to
Get a 2nd AirPort Express (AX).
Use WDS to wirelessly connect the 2 AXs.
Connect an Ethernet switch (or hub) to the Ethernet port on the 2nd AX.
Connect all of your Ethernet clients (2 Power Mac G5s and LaCie) to this switch (or hub).
In this configuration your PowerBooks will have wireless access and all of your Ethernet devices will get IP addresses from the AX connected to the Internet.

Why won't my old iMac G4 recognize my Airport Express when connected with ethernet cable?

After I installed an Airport Extreme as a base station for my network, the G4 couldn't recognize either the Airport Express or the Airport Extreme unless it was connected by ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme - then both devices show up in the G4 utility. I have reset the Airport Express to factory settings many times and the Utility in my iMac 3.2 Ghz Intel Core 13 indicates that the Airport Express is working. Any ideas?

I suspect its to do with the WPA setup support changes. My very old G3 seemed to have the same issue of not able to connect to Extreme or Express. Used to connect before years back to Apple routers but refused to in recent time for reasons not explainable so I just connect it now via cable.

Configuring Airport express to connect with ADSL modem

Background:
I'm in the UK and I'm using a different modem than the one supplied by my ISP because Airport requires a ethernet connection (as opposed to the USB connection on the modem supplied by my ISP.
My DSL modem has a solid green light for ADSL and Ehternet
My Airport express which was bought in the USA has a solid green light
Issues:
I can't connect to the internet using airport express and need help with the configuration, using either the PPPoE or Ethernet settings.
I've entered in all the acccount details provided by my ISP but it seems that the airport 'cant find the PPPoE host.'
I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Airport Express wont connect

Brand new out of the box and plugged in. Amber light just keeps flashing and is not reconized by my desktop or my laptop. Software was installed on both and I have a Extreme base station. HELP

Try temporarily connecting your computer to the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet.
Then configure the AX using the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Airport express wont connect anything but my macbook pro

Hello!
I've searched but cannot find an answer to this question so here goes:
Today I purchased an AirPort Express and was able to configure my MacBook Pro to connect to it problem free. I've created the network using airport utility but none of the other devices in my household can connect to the network: iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, AppleTV, & iPad Mini. They all discover the device but none will connect.
Help me please!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Very simple solution: I was in Bridge Mode and switched it over to DHCP and NAT. Boom....problem solved.

My Ipod wont connect with Itunes or my computer

My Ipod touch is charging through my computer, but it's not being seen by Itunes, or by my device manager on my computer itself.
I've tried the troubleshooting suggestions mentioned here... but maybe I missed one... can anyone help?

I'm also having this problem but it seems only to have occurred once I introduced my iPad Mini to iTunes (this may have been coincidental of course!). The cable I'm using is the one which came with my iPod Touch version 4.2.1 (bought on the 23rd of July 2010) and the cable still charges the iPod as it always has. I don't have the luxury of being able to try logging in to iTunes on any other computer but I've tried absolutely everything that has been suggested in the support pages. I really want to delete some of the music from this iPod but I think I need to be able to sync with iTunes to do so. Is it just that my 3 year old iPod is just too old for the latest version of iTunes?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully accepted.

IPhone 6 plus wont connect with iTunes 12.1.2.27

Hello,
iTunes is driving me insane. i recently got an iPhone 6 plus and for some odd reason it does not get detected in iTunes (12.1.2.27). there is no device icon in the upper left hand corner (next to Music, Video, TV) like there should be when i plug in my device. I have uninstalled iTunes and everything else associated with Apple (Application Support, Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour) as well as verified that all files are deleted in my C: drive. With that being said, i have followed This Solution: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6610010?tstart=0 but to no avail. I have also tried older iTunes versions, and they dont work either. I always 'Trust' this computer on my device each time. not sure why iTunes wont play nice, but Im wondering if anyone can help me out with a fix.
I'm currently running Windows 7 Professional, and iOS 8.3 on my iPhone 6 Plus.
All replies appreciated.

It sounds like the driver for the iPhone wasn't installed properly after the update. Here is the article you're going to need to use: iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
It's likely that the first couple of steps aren't going to solve the problem. You're going to need to follow the steps under "Verify that the Apple Mobile USB Driver is Installed." You'll just need to re-install it.
