Airtunes not working

The airtunes went away on my windows XP. I have an linksys wireless router WRT54G.
Linksys costumer service is telling me I need set up the port forwarding and port tracking.
What port number does the airpot express use?

Thanks, I setup the port forwarding in the linksys router and made sure that the firewall allows this port. However itunes still does not show the remote speaker.
I tried it with the firewall off also without any luck.
Funny thing is I have airtunes working on my Mac lap top but itunes in xp wont see it.
I have both machines on the same subnet "workgroup."
I have reset the router and airport extreme so many time I've lost track.
This used to work great then stopped one day can't remember what changed.
Is there something I'm missing?

Airport Express/AirTunes Not Working with New Verizon FIOS Connection

I was just set up with the new Verizon FIOS high speed internet, and now my Airport Express/AirTunes will not connect to my remote speakers like it did previously. The option for them is still there on iTunes, however when I select them, I get the horizontal barber pole for a minute, then the speaker selction goes back to computer.
In more detail:
Previously I had a Comcast internet connection which went through a Linksys wireless router. My Mini picked up the internet with this connection. Then I had an Airport Express hooked up to some remote speakers. They worked fine. Now, I have the Verizon wireless router hooked in directly to my Mini through the ethernet cable. I see the wireless network created by the Verizon router. I still see the wireless network created by the Linksys router. However, my iTunes can not connect to my AE/AirTunes speakers.
Note, I did reset the AE and then using Airport Setup Assistant, tried to locate it again, but it came up with nothing (other than my neighbor's new Verizon router).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Still no luck. The green light is on for the AE.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Airport Express B/G not visible on Airport Utility / Airtunes not working

Hi Everybody,
I'm just experiencing a Airport Express/Airtunes Problem! Everything was working fine. I setted up this 1/2 year old Airport Express B/G as the only device via ethernet cable next to my FritzBox DSL Modem to have a wireless network. I use it for Airtunes / Printer Sharing & Wireless Networking. 1 Week ago I visited my friend, who has a new Airport Express N and we tried to extend his my network thru My AX. As I got back home, I wasn't able to find my airport via airport utility, so i hard reseted it and reconfigured it as I told above. Everything was working fine for about one hour until the music stopped and until then this device could not be found via Airport Utility and iTunes doesn't offer me an option to play music via Airtunes anymore.
But the crazy thing is: I have Internet, Printer Sharing is possible & my roommate can play music via Airtunes using his Windows XP PC and even see the device via the utility.
I tried some settings with the networking security, but there appears no difference neither in iTunes than in the Utility.
Help much appreciated!
Cheers

This morning a firewall security message showed up: Allow connections of myDNSresponder and Config...? I allowed all connections, it worked for maybe one hour and disappeared again. So I decided to set my firewall settings to "allow all incoming connections" which was set to "set access for specific services and applications.
Now everything works really fine with the airport express!
Have A Nice Day

Itunes 7, airtunes not working after upgrade

Updated one of my 4 macs with itunes 7. Now the airtunes speakers are not able to choose on this machine, all other machines, running iTunes 6 are working fine. Is this a bug in iTunes 7?

I haven't had this problem, possibly because I use Airfoil for wireless audio streaming, but MacFixit suggests:
"AirTunes streaming broken? Store issues? Enable IPv6 If you are having problems streaming to an AirPort Express base station using the AirTunes function under iTunes 7.0, or having problems accessing the iTunes store, make sure you have IPv6 turned on. In order to change this setting, open System Preferences and click on your currently used interface (Ethernet, AirPort, etc.). Click on the TCP/IP settings for the interface -- at the bottom, you should see a button which says 'Configure IPv6...' click it and make the setting "On." Press the Apply Now button. As we previously noted, however, having IPv6 turned on may result in varied network slowness."
Hope this helps.

Airtunes not working with AE and WRT54G Router

Hey all,
I have been trying to get my Airport Express to see my WRT54G router for 2 days now. And each time after I have done mulitple reset on both units and disconnected the LAN line from the AX, I still can't get iTunes to see my Airtunes network.
I have a WRT54G v.2 wireless router. I have gotten the newiest firmware from Linksys and when I got the update, my setting for the router has changed to a WRT54GL router under my settings from the router webpage. I am thinking this maybe the problem, but don't think Linksys would make a mistake with this fireware update. So, i checked multiple times to make sure I got the latest correct update and did so.
Then, I followed the main setup to get the router to see the AX. I am using WEP Key and all, but still have no success. Weird thing is, I have had the AE for a long time and remember last year I threw a New Years party and had it configured correctly to see both my G4 Laptop and G5 Desktop. Now that I have sold my laptop I wanted to use my G5 to send music to the Linksys router to then connect to the Airport Express block. And now it won't see the router when the ethernet cable is disconnected from the AX.
Anyone have any ideas? I really appreciate it.

hi again,
something appears to prevent your ae to join you LinkSys LAN. And you shouldn't have to enter any IP adress.
From now, you should use the AirPort Admin utility located in the utility folder. This utility will allow you to get into all the ae parameters.
I'm not able to gives you a walkthrough from here but if you linksys have DHCP option activated, your ae should join it by simply giving it the rigth password. Besides, if you have latest firmwire, I do not think you need to add any $ to your password.
Does your router have any other security enable like specific MAC adress?

Airtunes not working properly

Hey there,
I've just bought a Airport Express. I do not want to create a new wireless connection or extend my existing one but just connect to it as I want to use Airplay (for Itunes) or Airprint. But this is not going well! First, I have a PC with 7, a Huawei routeur, an Ipad and an Iphone.
I connected my AE to my Music Player and plugged it, then I opened Airport Utility and started the setup... everything was fine until I had a message error 10057 (cannot connect the AE) when I was reaching the end of the process. So I tried again after doing a factory reset and even connecting the AE to my PC using an ethernet cable... and same message after the AE was restarting...the connection was lost.
Where this starts to be very strange is that I have a green light and that the AE worked for 5mn with my Iphone. While I have the popup to choose the AE in Itune on my PC (but not on the Ipad!!), it doesn t work!
Does anyone have any idea of what's going on here?
Thanks in advance

AirTunes not working, no Music tab in Airport Admin Utility

Suddenly today after a year and a half of use, I noticed that I had no remote speakers in iTunes. A trip to the Airport Admin Utility revealed no music tab. After resetting the AE (hard, and factory default), I get the same result, no Music tab in Admin Utility and no AirTunes remote speakers in iTunes. USB printer and WDS work fine. Anyone else experience this?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have the latest version of Admin Utility (4.2) and the latest version of AE firmware (6.3). It has been working forever, I listen to streaming audio through AE every day. It is very odd that the music tab is missing from the admin utility when I try to configure the Airport Express. Like I said I tried every reset option and reloaded the firmware but I don't know what else to try. I would hate to give in to the fact that it's a hardware issue...

Airtunes not working from 1 computer

I have 4 Macs. Three can play itunes to a connected airport express. 1 cannot. I have 2 Airport Expresses, 1 Airport Extreme. When I click on the name of the room “study” iTunes tries to connect but fails from the G5 (hardwired to network). All other computers can connect. iTunes can connect to “kitchen” but not “study” on the G5. All other Macs can connect to both
When I try and open Airport Admin Util. it asks for WEP password and then cannot connect to configure Airport Express - from the G5. It does connect and configure from all other computers, but not the G5.
This is a brand new Airport Express - I had the problem suddenly occur with a previous Airport Express and replaced it.
I have a feeling the problem is with my G5 - since it’s the only one (of course my music library is on it primarily). I redownloaded firmware and software for all - reupdated and factory reset the Airport Expresses and the Airport Admin Util.
Thanks for any help.

I finally rebooted everything including Xbox, Music Server, 2 networked printers - unplugged all hubs, routers and FIOS Modem - all AirPorts - and Macs. Rebooted - It worked. It obviously was more than the Macs and airports. Something else on the network was causing the problem.

AirTunes not working over wireless from Windows 7

Setup:
Dell Inspiron 15 laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium)
Airport Express
Network:
ADSL router
+- Desktop PC (ethernet to router)
+- Airport Express (ethernet to router)
+- Dell laptop (wireless to Airport Express)
The Airport Express creates a wireless network (802.11n, 2.4GHz). The Dell laptop can't see the speakers. My Macbook Pro works fine. I've determined that the problem is that IPv6 isn't working over wireless. The Dell laptop can't see the Airport Express with the Airport Utility either.
When I plug the Dell laptop into the ethernet on the ADSL router, everything starts working fine. If you look at the interface information DHCPv6 is up.
Without the cable plugged in my wireless connection says:
IPv6 Connectivity: No network access
When a cable is plugged in:
IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access
(which is how it should be).
I am pulling my hair out here and have absolutely no idea why this won't work.
Firewall is completely disabled. The router also creates an 802.11g network but it's settings shouldn't matter (wireless isolation, which is turned off, and so on).
Any suggestions?

Airport Express and Airtunes not working

Hi all. I have a Digital Audio G4. I've been able to use my G4 with iTunes and my Airport Express for quite a while. All of sudden iTunes no longer sees it. The Airport Admin Utility doesn't see it either. But I can still connect to the internet with it. What makes this even weirder is, I also have a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has no problem seeing the Airport Express in the Airport Admin Utility and in iTunes.
Any Help you can give is much appreciated.

I can't offer any help. I am having the same problem except I have an Airport Extreme with the Airport Express acting as an extender. The only thing that works for me is unplugging the Airport Express and plugging it back in. Sometimes it is fine the entire day. Other times I have to do this multiple times throughout the day. I don't think this is a good, long-term solution. Any help anyone?

AX green light, but airtune does not work

I just bought an AX. The main purpose is to use airtune and to share printer at home, and to bring it to create wireless network when I am on business trip.
When I first set up the AX, or later do a reset, the setup program can find AX. I use airport admin utility to set up the following:
Airport tab:
Wireless model: join an existing wireless network (wireless client)
Wireless network: I choose the current wireless network I have at home.
Internet tab:
Configure: Using DHCP
I clicked 'Update' button. The status light became green, but airtune does not work. I did not see the button show on iTune for me to choose the speaker. I went back to Airport Admin Utility, but could not find AX at all.
I googled for possible solution, and saw concern regarding DHCP, so I tried:
Internet tab:
Configure: Manually
IP address: 192.168.0.30. My wireless router assigns IP from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.33
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router address: 192.168.0.1
DNS server: 192.168.0.1
After updating the information to AX, I have still the same issue: green light, but no airtune, Airport Admin Utility cannot find the AX.
My wireless is a gigabyte. Please help. Thanks.

Sadly I can't help, but i can confirm: I am having the same problem. AirTunes was working fine, up until I went away for a month -- have just returned, and now am getting the same problem with TWO Airport Express units, which makes me think it is some kind of software update issue?
Will keep looking into it, and will let you know if I find anything.

Home Sharing not working

I have a macpro and a macbook pro, home sharing no longer works on either computer since upgrading to itunes 10.4 Home sharing shows up on the left hand side of itunes under 'shared' and when I click on it says 'loading xxxxxxxx's music' but after minute or two, nothing happens.
I've never been able to get home sharing to work via my macpro to share my macbook pro's music, which has been frustrating, but now it's not working via the macbook pro either.
I've tried everything, turned it off, restarted, checked firewalls, router, airport connections... the lot! I can share my screen and use back to my mac no problem.
Anyone having a similar situation? I rely on it on a regular basis as I work in music so need to copy tracks back and forth.

I've been having the same problem. Two macbook pros with lion and itunes 10.4 and a first gen apple tv...nothing shares anymore. I don't even get to the "loading music" part because as soon as I click ok for home sharing, nothing even shows up. My apple tv doesnt even show up on either one of the macbooks and i remember like a week or two ago, it was working fine because the option for airtunes (playing my itunes thru apple tv speakers) was available then. Now, nothing. No airtunes, no libraries, no apple tv, not even the sharing list on the side shows up anymore

What's With Volume Logic Plug-In Not Working With iTunes V7. and Up

Hello Folks. I recently updated to iTunes ve 7.0.2 and now my great Volume Logic Plug-in won't work. I downloaded the latest update and then read info on the Plantronics site about the problems with the plug-in with new itunes updates.
Is anyone here figured out what's going on or a workaround. That plug-in makes such a positive difference in music sound quality, the tunes almost feel "naked" without it
Steve

Prior to the 1.3.2 released (beta or the now-available final), Volume Logic did not work at all with iTunes 7. According to Plantronics, Volume Logic does not work with Airtunes and the AIrport Express (it's stated right in their FAQ).

Apple TV Radio not working.

Apple TV Internet Radio error message: "An error occurred loading this content Try again later." Has not worked for 3 weeks. Affects all categories.

Wow! That surprised me! I had already tried something very similar to that, and it didn't work!
What you said works! Thanks so much!
And in addition, playing the internet radio from my ATV (rather than from computer & thru airtunes) seems to work better! Before, (using airtunes), some stations would cut out / skip etc... and it doesn't seem to happen now! And I can now, not even have my computer on!
My understanding is that if I ever turn off the ATV, I'll have to do the procedure that you said again correct?
Thanks so much again!
It would be nice if Apple could now have the details / info that shows up in itunes when you play a internet radio station (song info etc...) show up on the screen on ATV - right?!!!
(for me, right now - just says: "Proton Radio - unknown album")

DTS (5.1) Audio Through Airport Express: Not Working

I imported some DTS-encoded WAV files into iTunes, to stream to my audio system via an Airport Express. The AE is connected to the preamp via optical, the WAV files were not converted or modified in any way, and the volume is @ 100% in iTunes.
The preamp receives the files and the DTS icon lights up, so all seems to be good... except the audio output is 2.0 only. As a test I converted the files to Apple Lossless (since I know the AE has to make that conversion), same result.
As another test I turned down the volume in iTunes and the audio became white noise, another indication that the files are DTS.
If I burn an audio CD using iTunes and the same WAV files, and play them on my OPPO player I get 5.1, the final and conclusive proof that the files are properly encoded.
I know I've read that streaming DTS-encoded audio via the Airport Express is possible, so I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I experienced some DTS files in iTunes, with my AirPort Express some months ago, it was working fine on my Marantz receiver. A few days ago I wanted to listen to them again, only white noise... I wanted to rip by myself a DTS-CD, therefore I found this out. Apparently since AirTunes has been turned to AirPlay, it's not working anymore (?) / the same way.
