Airtunes speaker show in iTunes, but never connects
Help. There is no diagnostics, nothing.
My airtunes speakers show in iTunes, but when I go to connect to them to play sound through them it never connects.
What can I do to find the problem, let alone fix it?
You did not mention if you receive an error message or not, or even if your connection did in fact work fine at some point, or if you tried using Airport set-up or if you verified your overall connection settings etc, etc - it's helpful to add these kinda details otherwise you can have any number of issues going on, some may not even relate to your base station or AX (airport express/air tunes) - That said, I'll toss a suggestion into the proverbial ring.
Go to your Airport Admin Utility (Applications>Utility>Airport Admin Utility) and check that your main base station and AX appear in the list of stations, which they should. Select the AX you use to connect to your stereo/speakers, a new window will open, you may be asked to enter your password.
From the tabs along the top of the new window that opened, select Internet. See that your >Configure option is set to 'Using DHCP.' Save and try to connect to your speaker.
If this does not work, post back with details about your situation - What you offered in your initial query is totally too vague. What does "There is no diagnostics, nothing." mean anyway?
Hope this helps, good luck.

I previously had an iPhone 4 which has since been put away in a drawer now that I have an iPhone 5. I would like to give my iphone 4 to someone else to use but could not remember my passcode - have tried a few times (I believe I have one more try before it gets disabled - so I have stopped trying). Read somewhere that you can just restore your phone which works for me as I wanted to clear it anyway. When I connect my phone to itunes and clicked on restore it said update and restore which I clicked on and left it to do its work. However, a while later an error code popped up saying that it could not update or back up the phone as the phone was locked . Now my phone just has the itunes logo on it but when I connect the phone to the computer and I manually open itunes, my phone is not recognised.
What can I do? Please help!!!Hi Shelley1284,
If you are having issues restoring your iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:

Similar problem on a Mac Mini running OS10.9 Mavericks. Note: Several weeks ago I posted a comment about Console displaying error messages when my MBP running 10.9 was connected to the DNS-320, but the 10.8 machine doesn't display those same messages. Might be related.
I had the same problem with a D-link DNS-320.
The following worked for me (Manual back up):
Set Time Machine backups off to allow manual back-up.
Create one alias of your NAS share in the desktop. (I don’t know why, I first had to create the share alias in a external USB drive and then move the alias to the desktop cause mavericks didn’t allow me to create the alias directly in the desktop.)
After using the “back up now” option in the time machine menu, just wait for a couple of seconds and double click your time machine share alias. This will mount the share and time machine back up starts immediately.
It seems as if double click initialize the communication and then the back up works normally.
I hope this helps.

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS.
I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile. -

when attempting to connect to the itunes store, the status message says "accessing itunes store..." but never connects. how do i resolve this?
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.
That WON'T convert it.
If I do the same with an MP3 and change the extension to JPG, it DOESN'T make it a picture. It makes it unusable.
Change it back to AVI and download "Handbrake". http://handbrake.fr/
Use HandBrake to "convert" it to M4V. -
Run applescript when airtunes speaker selected in iTunes
Hi,
I have a project that involves creating a whole house audio system using airport expresses and an iphone.
So far so good, best and most cost effective solution.
As I have an AppleTV I want to leverage it as a place to stream through my A/V receiver. This requires me to manually turn on the receiver, select the 'B' speaker output of the receiver (which connects to stereo speakers instead of the 5.1 satellite speakers which are the 'A' speakers), select the correct input for the AppleTV etc etc.
I know its not that hard but if you are reading this then you too probably know the warm fuzzy feeling of it all working seemlessly (no comments on this line please......)
So here's the plan. When I select the "AppleTV" in the speaker menu at the bottom of iTunes (which appears when you have multiple airtunes speakers connected) I want it to run a script that will control a device that beams all of the signals to the A/V receiver to set it up correctly.
The device is probably another problem to tackle, most likely an arduino project in an arduino forum, but I need a script to initiate this that is triggered by the selection of the speaker in itunes.
Does this sound possible?
DaveHi Camelot,
I used the accessability inspector and got the following report on the airtunes speaker button:
<AXApplication: “iTunes”>
<AXWindow: “iTunes”>
<AXButton: “Apple Hifi (2)”>
Attributes:
AXRole: “AXButton”
AXRoleDescription: “button”
AXSubrole: “(null)”
AXDescription: “”
AXHelp: “Choose which speakers to use.”
AXEnabled: “true”
AXFocused: “false”
AXParent: “<AXWindow: “iTunes”>”
AXWindow: “<AXWindow: “iTunes”>”
AXTopLevelUIElement: “<AXWindow: “iTunes”>”
AXPosition: “x=1692 y=1104”
AXSize: “w=124 h=20”
AXTitle: “Apple Hifi (2)”
AXSortDirection: “(null)”
Actions:
AXPress - press
Can you point in the direction of creating a script to query if the speaker "Apple Hifi (2)" is active? My applescripting is at a basic level and i'd like to learn some more.
Thanks

I just set up the airport wireless modem - with a comcast internet router - all wireless device connect seemlessly (3 Iphones, Mac Air, and a Sony Laptop) but my IPAD 1 no longer connects. It tries to but never connects. I have reset it and have airprot utility app downloaded on my IPAD - it shows the modem and the internet no connected?
Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?
Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button -
my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????
Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -
I'm having issues with my TV programmes artwork. It shows in iTunes but not on the Videos app.
I'm having issues with my TV programmes artwork. The artwork shows in iTunes but not on the Videos app. Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/GPKwx
The latest episode in it is 23 July: the later episodes haven't made it into the feed so either the connection to Feedburner has failed or there is something about the recent episodes which is causing them not to make it into the feed. It's not obvious from looking at the web page what this might be. -
I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?
Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.
