New AirPort Express Mac iTunes Music Streaming Issues

Hello All,
I purchased the "new" AirPort Express today from the Apple store and set it up as a client to my existing wireless network to stream music to some speakers via the phono cable. I am running a Linksys E3200 Dual-Band Wireless N Router connected to Comcast via a Motorola SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I can stream music just fine from two iPhones and a Windows 7 64 bit PC (with iTunes), but can't via my Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion and iTunes 10.6.3. I also tried another Late 2008 Uni-Body MacBook running Lion and iTunes 10.6.1, which also doesn't work correctly. The MacBooks will connect successfully via iTunes to AirPlay, but the music skips about every 1-2 seconds.
I've rebooted all pieces of the network (including the MacBooks) and still no sucess. Called into Apple Support and the tech requested I split off my WiFi networks to a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz networks via different SSIDs. We connected both the MacBooks and factory reset then reconnected the AirPort to the "new" 5 GHz network. Same issues as we saw before. Moved the AirPort into the same room as the wireless router (maybe 5-10 feet away) and still same issues. Apple tier two wasn't real sure, but I don't blame her since she said she didn't get to order her new AirPort until last night. They're bumping the ticket to engineering to see what they say... but wanted to see if anyone has found a fix for it.
Thanks!
Jeff

It went all the way up the chain with Apple to engineering and they had to setup the AirPort as a standalone router. The music played without issue from my PC, iPhone and Mac. Upon resetting it backup as an AirPlay client it does the same skipping problem on just the Mac (however AirFoil works just fine on the same Mac). The response I got from engineering this afternoon was-
"Jeff,
I heard back from Engineering today. Their advice is: Since this issue only occurs when the Airport Express is connected to your Linksys router, our best advice is to update the Linksys router firmware (contact Linksys) or use a different wireless router.
I apologize for all this inconvenience.
Thank you for calling AppleCare and have a great day!"

Airport Express - streaming iTunes

I've been give an Airport Express which I'd like to stream music from iTunes.
I have a MacBook Pro and a Powerbook G4 at home, both with Airport cards and would like to use the iTunes libraries from both. The MBP runs 10.6.2 and the PB runs 10.5.8.
I have an existing wireless network which I run via a Netgear DG834G router. Would it be straightforward to stream audio over the network to the Airport Express from either Mac? Also, I'm not sure how that would connect to my stereo (Denon RCD-M35DAB) as the connection is an RJ-45 and the stereo doesn't seem to have that connection.
Would it be better to buy a NAS box to store a central iTunes library and to connect to the Denon?
I'm a novice at streaming music, so grateful for any advice!
Many thanks,
Colin.

According to the AirPort Express FAQ, it should work. Here are a couple of excerpts that leads me to believe it should:
Question: If my computer is associated with a non-Apple wireless access point, can iTunes send an AirTunes stream to the AirPort Express?
Answer: *Yes, if AirPort Express has joined the network in client mode,* or if it is connected via wire to a LAN port on the non-Apple wireless access point.
Question: A computer connects via wire to an existing wireless access point/router. Can this wired client send an AirTunes stream to AirPort Express via the existing router?
Answer: Yes, if they are on the same subnet. These are common examples of when it would work:
* The existing router is an AirPort Extreme Base Station set up as WDS main, with the AirPort Express set up as WDS remote.
** The AirPort Express has joined the network (AirPort or third-party) in client mode.*
* You have a wired-only router sharing your Internet connection with a separate wireless access point that bridges the network to wireless clients. As in the two examples above, the AirPort Express would be either a WDS remote or in client mode.
The bold text would address the OP's configuration.
The variables involving third-party access points are many, which is why I always advocate an all-Apple infrastructure.

Airport Express streaming iTunes from Time Capsule

This may seem redundant to other topics, however I have tried the solutions listed without relief. I bought and installed a Time Capsule. My internet connection comes into it and my iMac accesses it wirelessly. I have an Airport Express which I want in the living room to stream music.
I have hard reset to the default settings on the AE. My TC is set for "extend a network" and my iTunes is set-up to look for remote speakers. When I use Airport Express to set the AE to access the TC network, I get the confirmation that the AE has been reconfigured and that I can wait for the AE to restart. The Airport Express dialog box never gets past that point, leaving me looking at a spinning status wheel.
From the default settings, my Airport Utility can see both devices, but clicking on the AE dismounts the TC and vice versa. The status bar on the Airport toolbar sees my TC network and not the AE, which I assume would be normal if the AE joined the TC network. Everything up and running, my iTunes cannot see the AE and I do not get the remote speaker dialog box in iTunes.
It seems to me there should be a simple process to walk through such a generic situation. What am I missing?

If your goal for the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is just for streaming iTunes, then you want to configure it to "join" the TC's wireless network ... not to extend it. So enabling "extend a network" on the TC would not be necessary.
To configure the AX to join the TC's wireless network and for AirTunes, please compare the following settings to those currently enabled on the AX:
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing TC's wireless Network Name>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

CAN AIRPORT EXPRESS STREAM USING ETHERNET

If you have speakers outside of the wireless netowrk range is it possible to connect airport to an existing ethernet connection and use this to stream music to the speakers?

Yes, if you configure the AirPort Express in Bridge Mode so that it will pick up the correct network settings.

Can't connect to iTunes from my iPod Touch or from my Computer!!

Since yesterday, I have been having trouble connecting to the iTunes store from my iPod and computer. I can search for apps and whatever on both devices, but when it comes time to download them, on the iPod it just says "Waiting.." for a while, then it says "cannot connect to the iTunes store"
If I try to download an app from iTunes on the computer(Windows Vista, HP), it'll go to the iTunes store, I can search for things all fine and dandy and when I get an app I want to download and click it and type in my password to download it, it'll say, "Accessing iTunes store..." then it says "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The internet connection has timed out"
My internet connection is perfectly fine, working just great. I've tried everything it suggests on the Apple site, from changing the hosts abd firewall settings. NOTHING IS WORKING!
I'd really appreciate some help. This is very frustrating. Holidays are supposed to be happy times, right? :'(
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Don't have a computer. Can I transfer my itunes stuff from ipod touch to iphone4

Is there a way to transfer my Itunes account stuff to my iphone? I do not have a computer...just an ipod touch where I purchased music and games.

You can re-download music and apps without having to pay for it again. Without having a computer, you will need to download each one by one with your iPhone.

Can't connect to itunes with my iPod (touch).

My IPod is disabled (I haven't used it in quite awhile, don't know why it's disabled) and is asking me to connect to itunes. When I try to, I get an error on itunes saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "Nathan's IPod" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
...Yet I can't because I'm being to to connect to itunes for my ipod to be unlocked.
Any solutions to this odd paradox? Thanks!

iOS: Unable to update or restore

Can't access all of music on ipod touch after update.

When plugged in to computer, i can see all the files (3000 ) in iTunes. only 108 available to play directly through iPod w/o computer... What gives? just updated to iOs6.
thanks in advance.

i am having a similar problem with my iPod touch 4g.
(i have windows7 64-bit)
when i plug my pod into my computer a warning sign pops up and reads:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click restore to restore this iPod to factory settings"
I've already followed this direction twice and it works the first time i plug it in after the restoration. But after the second time the same message (above) appears. i do not understand what is going wrong.
any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
(im getting sad lol)
p.s
after the warning message pops up. it doesn't show any information except for the version and the serial number and tells me that its "up to date".

You can sync the ipad to itunes on your computer.

Apple AirPort Express - Streaming Music on iTunes - Frequent Music Drop out

*Apple AirPort Express - Streaming Music on iTunes - Frequent Music Drop outs*
I have just purchased an Apple AirPort Express for the sole use of streaming music from my laptop to my home cinema system.
My system has bundles of power (Core 2 Duo, 3gb RAM, 320gb hard disk, Intel-N WiFi) and is running Windows Vista Premium. I am using the latest version of iTunes (version 8) and have it setup to play through remote speakers. I have my AirPort Express connected to my home cinema system.
When I play music on iTunes through ONLY my computer speakers I have no problem with drop outs.
However, when I play music through either (1) my AirPort Express or (2) multiple speakers (i.e. the AirPort Express and my computer speakers together) I experience frequent and unbelievably annoying drop outs in the music stream.
I have determined this has nothing to do with interference with the wireless signal and believe this is something to do with iTunes - the reason being the drop outs occur in BOTH the computer speakers AND the AirPort Express speakers (when I select multiple speakers) but does not occur when I select ONLY the computer speakers.
Please could you provide some advice on this as I am unable to use the AirPort!
Many thanks
Elliot

You don't say which Airport Express you are using and what its settings are.
There are two Airport Express models. The original model works on 802.11b/g on 2.4 GHz. The later model can do 802.11n on 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz. My experience is that interference when using the 2.4 GHz band creates drop-outs when sending audio from iTunes to an Airport Express. I now have an 802.11n network on 5.0 GHz and no longer have drop-outs. I also have a 2.4 GHz 802.11g network for my iPhone and other devices that can't do 802.11n. They are connected to each other by ethernet.
Interference on 2.4 GHz occurs because a lot of people nearby have wireless networks too. You may not notice the interference when doing other network activity that is not time dependant but it shows when streaming music. Using a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar I can see I am the only one using the 5.0 GHz band in range of my computer.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express, so how can I get the wireless bluetooth speakers to play at the same time in my bedroom?

Did you ever get this to work? My guess is that the speakers are out of bluetooth range at that distance.

Can no longer use itunes to put music on ipod touch?

I have an iPhone that I have no issues when using the itunes macch, BUT my iPod Touch I do not want to always have to connect to wi-fi to use music, on a run for instance, when there is n wi-fi available. I want to use iTunes like before wheree I connected it to iTunes and picked which music I wanted synced with the iPod and then the music was on there. Right now all I can do is see an option to download the music t my ipod when connected to a wi-fi network. I am on sattelite internet so I cna not going to use all my download allowance for something I already downloaded and just need to transfer.
Basically what I want to do is transfer whatever I want from Itunes to my iPod touch and then turn on iCloud for the rest that isn't on the iPod, so if I AM in a wi-fi area I can listen if I want, but if i am not in a wi-fi area I astill have some music that is on my iPod itself.
Please help! So annoying!! I love apple, but they need directions for these issues.
Lyndsie

Yes you can use the music, but you cannot use the iTunes program to do it.
So:
Find the music files on your computer.
Make sure the audio format(s) are compatible. MP3 is a definite yes, but the iTunes favorite AAC is a maybe, and you will have to check what your player can handle.
Then, follow your player's instructions to copy the music to the player. For many players this means to just connect it and drag the file icons into it.
