AirTunes remote speaker doesn't appear in iTunes

Let's say you just bought an AirPort Express to wirelessly stream audio from your iTunes to your hifi, but after installation and network configuration, you're not seeing the remote speakers control at the bottom right of the iTunes window.
Well, in iTunes, Edit->Preferences->Devices, ensure you have checked the "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" icon.
(Mine wasn't checked by default and this isn't mentioned anywhere in the instructions. On the + side, I've been through the rest of my configuration a few times...)

AirTunes remote speaker menu not recognized in iTunes

When I first got my AirPort Express, I had no problems playing my iTunes music over stereo speakers connected to the AX. Now the Airtunes remote speaker menu does not show up in the lower right corner of iTunes. This problem started many months ago, around the time when I moved into a new apartment. Not sure how that would cause it, since I still had no trouble with internet access through the AX. At first, I tried to troubleshoot, but eventually just gave up on it. Now I've decided to give it another shot, but I've scoured the discussion forum for answers and found nothing that works.
Here's what I've tried so far:
I recently reset my AX multiple times (separate issue) and this did not do the trick. I have checked "Look for remote speakers" under the Advanced options in iTunes. I have set my ZoneAlarm firewall to "medium" setting (which is supposed to allow UDP port access), and even tried turning off the firewall altogether, then restarting iTunes. I have Symantec AV running, but I don't know of any options that would affect the port access. I have opened the AirPort Utility (v5.3.2) and noticed that the "Music" tab does not show up in the settings for my AX. It seems that other people who had the same problem as me were at least able to see the "Music" tab in the settings. Restarting my PC does not seem to help either.
BTW, I have iTunes version 7.7.1.11.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!
Dave
EDIT: I also tried "pinging" the IP address of the AX in cmd.exe and it showed me the few lines of code that it supposedly does when the AX is communicating with the PC properly.

Thank you

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

IPhone 3G doesn't appear in iTunes 10.6.3

After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 a few weeks ago, I was unable to see my iPhone 3G in iTunes. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, which fixed the problem, and I've synced once or twice since then. Today the device once again doesn't show up in iTunes. The cable works, since iPhoto (7.1.5) recognizes the device and downloads photos just fine. iTunes may not be totally to blame, since it can recognize my old iPod (1.1.2). The phone is on iOS 4.2.1. Restarting the phone and the computer made no difference. Any ideas for fixes?

Apple's support is worthless - it tells you what programs are needed on your computer and how to find if they are running, but fails to tell you how to install what might be missing. My iPhone would synch fine until I updated to iTunes 7, but now my computer thinks my phone is a camera and doesn't appear on iTunes. None of the support pages provide any help. It appears that Apple has adopted the Microsoft model for customer disservice! Any third party assistance would be greatly appreciated.

IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes - tried everything

Hi there,
ok, my 3G iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes!!! I have tried reinstalling iTunes, removing the AppleMobileDevice extension, numerous restarts, hard reset the phone a couple of times. I deleted a podcast I tried to download over the air, deauthorised and authorised my iMac. Nothing!
Any other ideas. My phone does appear in iPhoto when opened. I am really lost now. I did change my AppleID recently, is that it?
Please help. I am going to try another Mac this lunch time, see if that helps. Perhaps its the phone?
Thanks!!

Yahooo! Its fixed. At the direction of an iPhone Developer (thanks to Steve Troughton-Smith!) I installed (or possibly reinstalled) iPhoneSystemComponents.pkg and now I can sync and so on!

Ipod doesn't appear in itunes or on desktop - trouble transfering music

When connecting Ipod, it doesn't appear in itunes or on desktop (Windows). Attempted to fix.
Reinstalled itunes and ipod, also upgraded itunes - no success in fixing.
Restored ipod (through computer)- no success in fixing - and of course, lost all songs in ipod.
Now, ipod sometimes appears in itunes, sometimes doesn't.
I've had a little success transfering songs (albeit, inconsistently) back to ipod from itunes, but sporadically.
Itunes is working fine when playing songs on computer;
Ipod working fine when playing songs on ipod. It's difficult transferring songs back to ipod. I checked cable and port with other equipment. Cable and port appear to be working. When clicking on Safely Remove Hardware, computer identifies ipod as "drive 0." I need help on how to get my ipod to appear in itunes again and fix the transfering problem?

Iphone 4s doesn't appear in itunes following iOS 6 installation

iphone 4s doesn't appear in itunes following iOS 6 installation
can someone help me out?

No dice. See my comment above; I already turned that on before posting.
To get your device to appear in iTunes and to automatically sync with iTunes, simply disable backup to iCloud on your iOS device. Voila! Your iOS device will appear in iTunes and auto-sync the selected content. For example, I'm now subscribing to a ton of podcasts that I used to manually download one-by-one b/c the tethered syncing process was just too painful. Now that my iPhone 4S appears as an always-connected device in iTunes, the latest versions of my podcasts shall auotmatically appear on the iPhone when I awake in the morning before my long commute to work.

IPod doesn't appear in iTunes and Windows

I have a next problem with connecting nano with Windows:
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes: iTunes 7 diagnostic write that host-controller of bus IEEE 1394 was not found.
Sometimes Windows see the demountable disk, but can't open it. Occasionally, when i charge nano, iTunes gives out the message, that iPod is damaged.
After connecting iPod to the computer, it shows the "Do not disconnect" screen, which not disappear after nano disconnecting. And I need reset iPod everytime after charging.
Does any help me?

I read this article.

IPod doesn't appear in iTunes

My iPod Touch doesn't appear in ITunes, so of course I can't sync it.
Now, my iPod nano syncs just fine with the same cable and USB connection, so the problem must be with the iPod touch.
When I plug it in, I get that little "chirp" and the battery indicator appears on the screen, but that's it.
Any ideas what's going on? What should I do?

Try here. The iPod touch (and iPhone and iPad) use different drivers than the Nano.
