Airtunes Multiple Speakers option gone?

I seem to have lost the ability to play music with multiple speaker locations. I don't know if this happened after I installed the 7.0.1 update a few days ago or if it was after I had to reset my airport express yesterday.
Does anyone have any insight to this matter? I don't believe I did anything different to the Airport Express settings. This seems to have effected all the computers in the house (all running 7.0.1).
Please help! The back of the apartment has become very very quiet

Have a look at your Network>Airport or Ethernet>TCP panel in System Preferences. The IPv6 setting must be set to "automatic" for the external speakers to work via AirTunes. This is a change from iTunes 6.

  • Not all Airport Express speakers showing up in Multiple Speakers option?

    I can choose my airport express speakers in the drop down menu in iTunes individually, but when I open the multiple speakers option only 2 out of 5 zones show up?

    I was able to resolve my issue.  I found the answer from another post in an Apple forum.  What you need to do is open the multiple speaker option and expand the window to show the additional Aiports/Apple TVs linked in iTunes.  Once I did this, I am not able to see everything as expected.  Seems like a flaw that it doesn't default to this extended view.  Hope this helps.

  • The icon that allows connection to multiple speakers is gone, how do i get it back?

    I am not sure how, but the icon that allows for mulitple speakers has disappeared from my Itunes.  How do I get it back? I had a problem with Bonjuor and I believe this is the cause of the issue, but I reloaded it and I still don't have the icon.  Apple TV can connect to my library, but I have no control over multiple speakers from my PC.  I alos have an Airport Express running off this same system.

    youre voice to text option is not gone.Please go into settings and get into accessibility and turn on voice selection.If voice selection is on please restart the iphone.Also turn on siri.
    Hope your problem will be solved
    Thanks

  • Airtunes Multiple Speakers Don't All Appear With Lion

    I have a MacBook with Lion and an older iMac with Snow Leopard. I share my iTunes library and have both computers connected to Apple TV and Airport Express. Airtunes is so that I can play speakers in two different rooms at different levels ( I'm married!) With Snow Leopard when I click the little box with the triangle in the bottom right corner of iTunes it shows three options...my computer, Apple TV, and my Airport Express network, and allows me to adjust volume on both my computer and airtunes (I rarely use Apple TV for music so don't need the separate adjustment for it.) With Lion, the triangle at the bottom corner shows all three selections and has a check mark to show that I am using multiple speakers...my computer and airtunes...but when I click on it it only gives me volume controls for my computer and my Apple TV...nothing for airport express. I need to adjust the sound levels differently in each room, but can't figure out how to make two discrete adjustments.

    Same here! I too have a Mini Mac running 10.7, Apple TV and an old Airport Express. If I choose to play music through the Airport Express then choose multiple speakers, it will play through all 3, but I still have no discrete volume control from the mini mac for the Airport Express.
    I find it strange as when I use the Remote app on my iPhone or iPad all three volume controls are present!!! What gives indeed??

  • AirTunes: MULTIPLE Speakers NIT WORKING

    Hello all and Happy Holidays
    I've posted this before but thought someone may have a solution to this.
    I have an AXP installed in the living room and has an audio cable connected to my amplifier, AirTunes playing through this Remote Speakers work.
    But when in iTunes switch to Multiple Speakers, to also play from my iMac, I get an error message:
    An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "xxx". An unknown error occurred (-3256)
    (OK button)
    Then the Remote Speakers will get cut off, and the computer one still playing.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Cheers and Merry Christmas!

    iFelix, you are a genius! Such a simple solution to uncheck one option...
    At least this one little thing is working this Christmas Eve; My other "big woe" right now is that I keep getting publishing error messages while trying to publish to my iWeb website
    But I am not going to bore you on that, here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year, cheers!

  • Multiple Speakers are gone once iTunes upgraded to 10.5.1.42

    I did an automatic update and now my multiple speaker options is gone.  I checked the Windows7 firewall and iTunes is allowed.  I even tried to turn off the firwall.  This has worked great for years, but not it doesn't work with iTunes 10.5.  Please help

    I went to the Security tab in Systems Preferences. Chose Firewall, and deselected "Allow only essential services" and instead selected "Set access for specific services and applications." I then chose the + sign at the bottom left corner of the list widow underneath. There I chose iTunes and added it to the list of allowed incoming connections. I am ow able to play iTunes at multiple locations (at the computer and through my AirPort Express using AirTunes.
    What a pain. And frankly I don't yet understand what this means for my security. I'm not sure I'm liking this new firewall setup as much as I did in 10.4, which seemed easier.
    Don't quote me on this, but I am beginning to wonder if this setting accomplishes the same thing that Lil Snitch used to do. And if so, well bravo Apple for building it in. That being said, this was neither easy nor intuitive. I'm going to have to read up on this feature to fully understand it and determine if my firewall is even on or not with this setting chosen. I have no idea. I am hardwired to a Router/firewall, so I'm somewhat secure, but what this means for my AirPort connection... well I have no idea.
    But, by gosh, my AirTunes works in multiple locations now. Sheesh.

  • No multiple speakers option in Remote for iPad

    OK. By searching around here I managed to discover that the speaker selection option on the iPad is actually on the multi task bar (double click home button).
    But I have now discovered that while the Remote app has the option for multiple speakers on my iPhone 4, it's not there on the iPad.
    All my versions are up to date and everything works perfectly, I just want clarification that the option isn't available on the iPad.
    If it is can someone help me get it activated?

    Maybe you saw it / see it, but I don't and neither will anyone who looks at my iPad.
    I updated fromn my iPad 1 which of course never had such an option.

  • Airtunes Multiple Speakers

    How do you configure itunes to play on both your computer speakers and airtunes at the same time?

    1. Do a search for "multiple speakers" in this discussion area (it has been discussed more times than I care to count).
    2. Follow the advice to update your Express firmware and iTunes to the latest versions.

  • AirTune with multiple speakers

    I tried to play back the music on my laptop speaker and the remote speaker through airport express at the same time.
    My airport express fireware is the lastest 6.3 and iTune is 6.0.2. I can select multiple speakers in iTune but when I tried to play it, it gave me an errors said it can't connect to my airport express (error -3256). However, if I just select one remote speaker not the multiple one, nothing goes wrong.
    Anyone has suggestion?
    Thank you

    I have a different problem with the multiple speakers option (which I got after installing firmware 6.3):
    When selecting both the computer and the airport express to play music, the sound output from the airport is intermittent. Instead, if I select only the airport, it sounds fine. Is perhaps this due to the quality of the wireless signal? I have the impression that after upgrading to the newest firmware the signal strenght has decreased (5 out of 15 bars in the internet connect status indicator).
    If this is the case, is there any way to improve it (select manually channel? changing authentication method? now I selected WPA2)
    Thanks a lot

  • How do i use airplay with multiple speakers simultaneously?

    I am trying to play music simultaneously on multiple speakers in different rooms using airplay.  For some reason when i choose the "multiple speakers" option in itunes, the speakers that are connected by airtunes do not appear in the list.  They do appear in the list of options when choosing a single set of speakers though.

    The multiple speakers option in iTunes is a windows that can be expanded. Is probably not expanded where you can see all the devices. If they show on the singles list, they also show on the multiples list.

  • ITunes not connecting to AirTunes remote speakers after upgrade to 7.6.1

    Hi
    I've just noticed that iTunes is refusing to connect to my AirPort Express. Or rather, it's ignoring me when I ask it to connect; it's as if I didn't select the remote speakers at all. It is displaying them in the remote speakers menu, and allowing me even to bring up the "multiple speakers" option, but won't respond to me selecting them). It's only started doing this since the update to 7.6.1.
    The problem is not with the AirPort unit; my partner's MacBook running 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6 will connect to it happily (thankfully she hasn't updated to 7.6.1 yet).
    Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this simply a bug I need to report to the good people at Apple?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not working here either on v7.6.1.
    Doesn't always find Airtunes speakers, works for a bit, then playback hangs at 0:00.
    Quitting and restarting iTunes seems to get it (temporarily) working again.
    Also, the iTunes volume control is broken - it plays at 100% volume regardless of volume setting and regardless of whether the "Disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers" option is checked.
    All in all, a very poor release.

  • Express, iTunes and Multiple Speakers

    I posted this on the iTunes forum, but thought maybe it goes here. I cannot get itunes to play music to both my AX units. Airtunes works just fine in normal play. I can switch between each AX network. And the "multiple speakers" option shows up when I switch between the AX units. And I have them both updated to the latest firmware (6.3), and the latest version of iTunes. Still, no matter which AX network I pick, it will not let me play music to the other one. I pick AX1 and it lets me play AX 1 and the computer, but not AX2. If I switch over to AX2, I can play AX 2 and the Computer. But I can't get music to all three -- Computer, AX1, AX2. Interestingly, the multiple speakers window shows all three -- just won't send the music to all three at one. NOTE: My Airport Management Utility indicates that both of the AX units post the same IP address. Is that right? Is that the problem? -- david c

    I think I solved it. Not sure, but think so. Checked again with Apple. Dunno whythe first one didn't point this out. Says you can broadcast a single iTunes transmission across two AX units ONLY configuring the second one as "bridge" to the first. What I was trying to do was transmit to two AX units each set up as separate networks. I guess it makes sense. The new tech says I keep the first AX network as is, but go into and re-set the second one using the SetupAssistant. Haven't done it yet, but he says I'll be asked if I want the new to "join" the first one. Think I'll try it. Only issue will be if the resulting sound loses any quality that way. If it works, it's what I wanted....sending iTunes to two different stereo systems (great room and patio deck) at the same time.

  • How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

    How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC.  On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC.  Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

    Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
    What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
    If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

  • Wheres my multiple speakers?!

    I'm running itunes 7.4.2 on os 10.4.10 and have been using the multiple speakers option with my airport express for a while now.
    Then yesterday, the option to stream to multiple speakers just suddenly disappeared. I have no idea what I did/what the computer did.
    Earlier that day, my roommate was messing around in the airport admin utility, could he have changed something there to make this happen?
    Also, at the same time as this, my ipod suddenly stopped showing any music on it (no songs, but all the memory is still being used) and my itunes said it's not recognizing the contents of my ipod
    Are these things related?
    WHAT'S GOING ON!?

    Same problem w/ regard to multiple speakers, it recognized the computer speakers & the remote one but there is no 'multiple speaker' option.
    I'm using MAC OS X.4.11 & iTunes 7.5.1.

  • Connecting to multiple speakers in itunes

    I have two airport express units. Athough I can select either, or, in itunes how do I stream too both simultaneously as the 'bezel' will only let me select one station. Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks

    One possible reason is firmware for the expresses. Multiple speakers option dictates the expresses have firmware V6.3. You also have to be running iTunes V6.02 or 6.03 to stream to multiple expresses.
