APExp: Music Tab in AP Admin Disappears - No AirTunes

Network: Two APExpress. APEx 1-Setup for AirTunes, connected to stereo. APEx 2-Bridge-mode with attached USB printer. Stand. setup. Internet works fine, printing works fine.
Issue: No longer can access the Music tab on the APExpress. (Tab is present when opening the AP unit but is disabled/disappears after loading finishes.) Not able to select the base station from iTunes.
Attempted Resolution: 1) Rebooted base station. 2) Cycled power to base station. 3) Uploaded latest version of base station firmware (v6.2). 4) Confirmed behavior from second client machine (also PBG4). 5) Rebooted both computers and again checked Airport Admin with same (no music tab) result.
Curiously, I can see the Music tab on the second unit (bridge) where nothing is connected. However, on the main unit, the tab is no longer present.
Question: Is there something I'm missing short of calling AppleCare?
Thanks! Ben

Is there is a cabled or wireless network to which these two Airport Express devices are connected. Are they cabled to that network, or connected wirelessly?
Or, is Airport Express 1 your network's "base station", and if so is your cable/DSL modem also connected to it? If that is the case, how does Airport Express 2 (which is in "bridge mode") communicate with Airport Express 1.
The answers to those questions notwithstanding:
- do a factory reset of Airport Express 1 per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
- have your Mac connect directly to the wireless network of Airport Express 1 (which after the reset will be called "Apple Network xxxxxx")
- then run the Airport Admin Utility. The Music tab should be shown

Airtunes missing; no Music tab in Airport Admin Utility - Help!

Hi. Trried to play music via airtunes to AX connected to stereo, but no speaker selections in iTunes! Been working for the past year. Went to airport admin utility (4.2) for the AEBS and when configuring it showed the Music tab for about a second then it went away. I can't select Music re-setup airtunes! Where's the tab? Does the utility have a bug? What to do?
All latest s/w, etc. for AEBS, AX, Pmac, and PB. Tried the utility from both Macs, but same situation. Internet, AEBS, and AX all work fine, but no Music tab in the utility and no airtunes speaker selections in iTunes (6.0.5).
Thanks.

Missing music tab in airport admin utility...

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Can't enable airtunes but can still use my printer attached to my Airport express. I just use my airport for printing and airtunes so this is very anoying.

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...

Music Tab Disappears from Airport Admin Utility

I have searched these forums and the internet for a long time for a solution to this problem only to find that this is a common problem for a lot of people. Basically, all of the sudden iTunes didn't list my wireless speakers as a possible output for my music. Thinking a setting had been changed or something I logged into the Airport Admin Utility only to find that the "Music" tab was completely removed. I restarted the AE multiple times, performed multiple firmware upgrades/downgrades, and reset the entire device to no avail.

Anyways, if you have a solution, please post it here (I know there are other postings but none recent). {Post edited by Host}

Perhaps when you switch it to 5 GHz the signal loss is so great that your Mac Pro can no longer receive the signal.
5 GHz signals do not move through physical objects as well as 2.4 GHz signals.

Why has the Purchased Music tab disappeared in the Greek itunes

Hello,
when iTunes launched Match here in greece last week I jumped on the bandwagon, however the "Purchased Music" tab has now dissapeared from iTunes and i cannot redownload any of my purchased music. Also the iTunes Match icon has dissapeared from under the STORE menu.
what is going on?
thanks
Anthony kyriazis

My loudspeaker does appear:
Assuming you have room available to the left of the check mark in iTunes (if not, make room first), try control-click on the row that says "Name ... Artist ... etc." and checking "Auto size all columns" from the resulting drop-down.

Airport Express: ip connectivity ok but no more "Music" Tab, no Airtunes

Hi all,
Here is the issu, have an Airport Extreme wireless network coupled with an Airport Express configured as client connecte with a jack to my Hi-Fi speakers.
A few months ago it worked like a charm, and I had no trouble listening to itunes on my speakers.
But now I can neither select the Airport Express speakers anymore in iTunes, nor find the "Muisc" tab in airport admin utility.
I did soft and hard reset the AX several times, I tried the 'IPv6' solution either way, I re-created the wireless network, I donwgraded then upgraded the AX, all this to no avail. All the software looks to be up to date. The AX light is green, I can ping it, but still no music tab, no speaker selection in iTunes.
I saw this thread dating from the beginning of the year: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=832697
Does this mean that airport software silently disables the music tab from the setup when signal strengh is low ? This would be a quite undocumented feature. Besides I tested it with the ibook less than 1 meter from the base station... so I can't thin of a strengh issue here.
Can someone help here please ?

I originally posted this message back in 2005 ... http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1114219#1114219
Since that original post, I have now had three out of five Airport Express all experience the same problem. Unexplainably, over time, the unit itself doesn't stop working, but the Music tab and use of the Airtunes do. While I've seen no good explanation of this problem (and I didn't buy my Airport Express with a Mac, so I keep getting screwed on the purchases), but I think it has to do with a hardware problem with the jack on the Airport Express. I noticed on all three that the red light in the jack for using optical cables no longer shines. My conjecture is that when the music jack's optical port stops functioning, the Express' OS no longer sees the port and the kills the Music tab.
Just thought I'd share my 2 years and counting frustration with the Airport Express' loss of the music tab. Fortunately for me I have the disappearing Airport Disks to worry about.

I have an iPod Touch on IOS 5.1.1 - I uploaded its music library to my new laptop, using Tunejack. However, I now cannot download music from my laptop to the iPod (but can download to my iPad2 and iPhone 4S). I have gone under 'music' tab. Any ideas?

I have got an iPod Touch on IOS 5.1.1, which contained my music library, including uploaded CDs and purchases. I have a new laptop (using Windows 7) and upIoaded my music library from the iPod, using Tunejack, onto the laptop. I then made a few purchases but these weren't showing up on my iPod, so in frustration, thinking this would rectify the problem, I then re-booted the iPod, with the result that my entire music library disappeared from it. I then went to sync with my lap top and went in under the 'Music' tab and clicked on download 'entire music library' but nothing happens. I have also tried 'selected playlists, artists, albums and genres' but this has not worked as well. The same issue dows not apply with eitehr my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S. As mentioned, this music library did come from my iPod so there is no space issue. If anyone has any suggestions i would be grateful.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Music wont sync on my new iphone 4s. Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. What to do?

Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it iTunes says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. The pnly thing I can chose to sync are voice memos.
What can I do?

If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button. This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button). I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

My iTunes Store on IPhone comes up with an error ([newNullResponse]). It is just on the music tab, tv shows and movies tab works fine. I have tried restarting phone, closing app, turning my account off and on. What is the problem I need help?!!!!

My iTunes Store on iPhone comes up with an error [newNullResponse] always when I click the music tab. The movies and tv shows tab works fine. I have tried everything from restarting my phone to turning my account off and on.

Try a different cable and a different charger. If neither fixes it you probably need a new battery. Apple will replace it for $80 in the US; I don't know what the charge is in other locations.

How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

I can't delete songs from my library unless I'm in the bulk "music" tab. This will cost me hours of time to sort through. Help!

I used to be able to delete songs from my library from any playlist by holding ALT and pressing BACKSPACE. Now, this only works in the bulk "Music" tab which lists every single item in my entire playlist. I have about 300 items in my playlist that need to be deleted (They are remnants of deleted files and no longer point to an existing file location). I have a smart playlist that collects all these items, and in the past I would periodically just delete the contents of that list from the whole library. Now I can't do that. I thought of trying to modify all the items under a common album title so I could find the whole group in the "Music" tab and delete them there, but iTunes won't let me modify them because they don't have a valid file path. (That's exactly the reason I'm trying to delete them! AARGH!)
The only alternative I can think of is to look up every single item individually and manually delete them one by one, which would amount to a few hours of wasted time. I'm so frustrated. I don't understand why each progressive installment of iTunes does away with features that were helpful and useful when they existed. I feel like Apple hates me.Can anyone help me?

Use Shift+Delete to remove items from a playlist and the library at the same time.

IPod Nano appears on my list of iTunes devices. Summary tab shows 928 manually managed songs; music tab however shows nothing. Where did the songs go?

I recently undated software all around, reloaded windows 8 and upgraded to windows 8.1. My iPod Nano (1.0.4) appears on my list of iTunes (11.1.3) devices. The summary tab for my iPod shows 928 manually managed songs (2 of 8 GBs still empty). However, when I click on the music tab immediately to the right of the summary tab, iTunes no longer shows my songs, playlists or audio books. Instead iTunes invites me to "sync" my iPod and kiss my contents goodbye. Why won't the songs appear in iTunes anymore? My iPod still plays the songs and they appear on the tiny iPod screen. iTunes however won't show them. iTunes still allows me to drag and drop new music and books into my iPod but iTunes won't let me see the particulars. I want to delete some audio books I've finished but iTunes won't let me to them. What gives?

Thanks iPodmaven for showing me how to check the arrow to the right of the device image and convert it into a inverted triangle. Problem solved! Thanks
