Can not get menu for remote speakers in itunes to come back.

I've been using airport express for many years.
A few months ago my modem went out.
While waiting for a new one to arrive, I still wanted to listen to my music. So I just selected computer speakers from the drop down in lower right corner of itunes.
The menu immediately disappeared when I selected computer speakers.
When I set up the new modem, the drop down did not reappear.
Tried a bunch of things. Read a bunch of older forums. Nothing.
It's been months. I need my music and I'm back at it again!
Today (in this order) I:
Reset my macbookpro (option apple p r)
reset airport express (held in reset while plugged in, waited for flashes)
set up airport express from scratch. Named it. All seems well.
light is green
Made sure find remote speakers from itunes pref was checked. (unchecked and checked it again)
Made sure itunes music sharing was checked from my firewall settings. (unchecked and checked it again)
Restarted itunes (a few times)
Nothing. Nothing . Nothing.
Airfoil says that if itunes can't find remote speakers, then neither will airfoil.
So I won't try downloading that as a fix...
PLEASE!? ANYONE!?
Yes my wires are checked.

I have pretty much the same problem.
I just set up a new Belkin Wireless N router, to replace my G and hopefully speed up my network, but now I've lost my Airport Express.  It's still hooked up to my stereo, but the light is amber now and won't turn green.
Also, my iTunes can't find my remote speakers, and I can't even get the menu which used to have Computer and Living Room on it. 
How can I get my iTunes to find that little Airport Express dude?

    You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

    For Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.

    As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
    If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

  • HT201210 I can not get the iphone to sync with itunes and the iphone locked up my ipad too. I have downloaded the recent itunes 10.6.3 and restarted my computer. What do I do?

    My iphone was not synced when I received it. I plugged it in to charge it, and it locked up my ipad. My itunes was not updated on my desktop, so I just updated it to itunes 10.6.3. I have restarted my computer, and nothing is changing. I can not get the iphone to move from the screen, its stuck on the itunes icon. Help please.

    I am downloading the 11.0.2 as we speak. I will update in a bit.

  • AirPort recognized but no pop-up window for remote speakers in iTunes

    I have connected an Airport Express to an existing wireless network of multiple windows (2000 and XP) computers via a Linksys router. The base station is properly recognized (solid green LED, unit correctly identified in admin utility, and I was able to update the firmware to v.6.3 wirelessly) and I have it configured as a wireless client. I want to use it solely to stream music from iTunes to a remote stereo. When I open iTunes, there is no pop-up window offering an option to enable remote speakers. When I installed the airport software, it tried to install iTunes, but the installation aborted because I have a more current version. Is there some software on the disk that needs to be added to iTunes? What is AirTunes? Is this actual software that needs to be installed to stream iTunes to a remote location? Does it refer to the airport firmware? Is it just a "cute" name for the airport hardware (Apple marketing hype)? Thanks for any help.

    Rj in WI is correct. I just started using iTunes about a month ago after my wife got an IPod. It took me about an hour of frustration and reading the instruction before I saw in the bottom right of the window "my computer". You click on that and then you can change it to the Airport network. Unfortunately It appears you can only send to only one place. I have two Aiport Expresses and I can only send it to one of the Express devices, or the computer, but not to two or all three places at one time.

  • I can not get my ipod to show on itunes i have followed all the procedures in help, what more can i do

    I can't get my ipod touch to show up in itunes, I've followed all the directions it still will not show up. What can I do now?

    I hope you get an answer on this. I am having similar problems. I have lots of music on my Nano and now have a new laptop. How do you move those songs into your new laptop from the Nano.

  • Where is my pop up menu for remote speakers?

    Just upgraded to Lion and iTunes 10.6. Sometimes the pop up menu is there, sometimes it isn't. I've tried shutting the computer, the airport and the modem down and restarting it all. No change.

    I just figured it out. I was logged into another network, so my itunes didn't recognize it and therefore wouldn't display the popup menu.

    Hi Kevin,
    I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
    You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong. 
    Thanks,

  • How can I get apps for my MacBook Air, iTunes only shows iPad and iPhone apps?

    How do I get app's at iTunes for my PC - a MacBook Air?  All I see are iPad and iPhone apps.

    You don't.
    Itunes doe snot sell any apps at a ll for your computer.  ONLY for iphone, ipod touch, ipad.
    You would have to go to the Mac App Store in order to find apps for your mac.

  • I have tried all can not get firefox to search for website

    I run Windows XP.
    It all began with the fiollowing error - "could not load xpcom. From there I redownloaded and installed - the foillowing scenario followed on this.
    I can not get firefox to connect to the net.
    I re downloaded and installed firefox, 3 times, no difference.
    My home page shows on my desk top screen - but it clearly does not work as it will not do any searches and connect to other websites.
    When trying to use in "Options" it closes the firefox home page, as though I had exited it.
    I have now spent 2 days reading and trying all as given in firefox help and community forum - nothing I read fits the bill, or has been of any assistance.
    The search field is empty and I can not get it to accept a search engine name like google or any other. I know firefox has a choice - but the pull down choice menu does not open.
    I am now at a total loss and desperate to get back to work having wasted 22 days already trying to repair same.
    I tried the automatically install add ons as per this very "automatically add" button, but it says Firefox can not modify the required file.
    Please help I am desperate!

    As I said, I have read about all.
    There is no solution there for me - I am not an internet guru and must be honest some of the solution provided seem high tech and beyond me - they refer to certain aspects of the system which I do not see on my computer.
    I would like some one to give me a step by step solution if there is one.
    It began as follows when I tried to open firefox...
    It told me (for some reason) about 5 days ago ..."could not load xpcom."
    I have read and read and eventually found what I thought would be the solution. - Reinstall.
    I re downloaded/installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the page opens but it is inert - does no searching and does not accept any search engine addition - neither does it provide a choice of search engine as it used to do.
    I USED THE FIREFOX PAGE ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO SAME COMPUTER.
    I can open various url's which i have saved for research purposes and also things like my bank account to do tfrs. No problem.
    My email also works fine.
    For some reason the newly installed version of Firefox does not see the internet or react to anything - (have reinstalled 3 times) -neither does it accept anything one types into the search field - when I click to activate the search it simply deletes it.
    I need some "help fpr dummies" please
    Thank you for your interest to help - much appreciated.
