Can not stream from Airport express speakers

Only from iTunes!
but from iPhone is working perfecty!

i have an airport express version 6.3 which i can not configure with my airport utility software nor update.
Philly_Phan has good advice for you as far as keeping things simple, but if your current operating system on your Mac will not support the older Express model that you have.....as I suspect is the case here.....it is going to take more than simplicity to solve your issue.
You did not tell us what operating system you are running on your Mac, but a guess would be Mountain Lion. Can you confirm on that?
If you do not know what operating system you are using on your Mac, click the Apple icon at the upper left corner of the screen and then click on About This Mac. Post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

Updated my iTunes and now my mac can not see my airport express no matter what I have tried

recently updated my itunes and the firmware on my airport extreme and suddenly itunes does not recognize my airport express for speakers and my mac through airport utilities can not see my airport express. *** I have tried everything and nothing will bring the airport express back to life what to do

I changed my Airport Extreme network name and password, now I can't access my Airport Express speakers. Help please.

I changed the network name and password associated with my Airport Extreme and now my system is not recognizing my Airport Express speakers.
Can someone help me get my speakers and sound system back online?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You will need to think in reverse here.
Change the network name and password back to where it was on the AirPort Extreme and get things working that way.
Then, change the name and password on one AirPort Express, then the second. Both Expresses will be blinking amber at this time. Power them off.
Now, change the name and password on the AirPort Extreme.
Power up both Expresses and they will now join the AirPort Extreme network correctly since you have programmed them with the new network name and password.

I can not configure my airport express

Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

Airport utility can not find my airport express...

Airport utility can not find my airport express...
I was trying to connect a PC (Windows XP) laptop to my wireless network via the airport express.
I have a Mac with an airport that I use to get internet in my other room. I am trying to get internet on the laptop too.
I somehow manage to erase my network & now my airport utilities won't even scan/recognize my airport??
ANY help would be appreciated, mac helpline wanted $59 to help & I live in a small northern community where they do not have anyone that will address a Mac issue!!
Thanks for your time.

Thank you SO MUCH Tesserax for taking the time to help!
I powered everything down, slowly powered everything else up from the modem to the airport then the computer. I then reset the airport & rescaned it through utilities. I set up a new network & voila! wireless up & running again.
I am going to try to connect the laptop to the network now.....well, mabey tomorrow night, I've had enough for 1 evening!
I will update....or possibly be begging for more help...we'll see!
Thanks again for your time!

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can not run my airport express' without having to reset each of them every time I wish to use them. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I am running a 7 year old MacBook Pro 15. Since upgrading to Yosemite I can not run my airport express' without having to reset each of them every time I wish to use them. I did not have this problem with Mavericks OSX. Does anyone know what the problem is and is there a fix?

Apple 1st Gen streaming to Airport Express Speakers?

I have been browsing the forum for a while looking for a definitive answer, and have not found one, can anyone help with my question please.
I want to buy and run an Apple TV 160gb, sync to my iTunes, upload my music and use it as a server for my iTunes and stream music from it wirelessly to my Airport Express + speakers in the garage/garden and control setup with my remote app on my iphone. I know I can do this from my laptop, but I do not want to leave it running 24/7...
Is this possible? Seems a pretty simple setup, someone must have done this, many conflicting answers on the forum...
Any help would be great, before I hunt down a 1st gen Apple TV and waste my cash...

Thanks for simple answer...
No plans to delete my music from laptop, I just dont want to leave it running all the time and ATV 1 seemed like a cost effective way of possibly streaming my music to remote speakers... something I can leave running 24/7 and not worry about it, its a neat little package.
Time to scour eBay... Thanks again...

Itunes can't see my Airport Express speakers after I close my laptop

So this is a weird issue- and I haven't been able to find a prior discussion on this topic. Apologize in advance if I asking something that is already well documented.
but I've seen the problem on two separate laptops now: if I stream my itunes through my airport express speakers and then subsequently close my laptop (presumably putting it into hibernate or some other energy saving mode), itunes cannot see the airport speakers upon reopening the laptop. I have to reset Itunes - and then it will see these speakers every time. Same thing happens when I reset my airport express- sometimes I have to reconfig the router through the airport utility. As soon as a press update and the router resets... then itunes cannot see the airport express speakers.
Not a huge issue- just requires a lot of rebooting to fix. Buts its frustrating.. my macbook speakers are lame. I wish itunes has some sort of speaker refresh button that would reset the speaker settings.
My wife says it is known itunes bug.. anyone know anything on this?
Thanks in advance everyone!!

1. Did you try just to switch back to the cpu-speaker and the directly back to the express?
2. Did you do a firmware update of your express? Just open the express-server-program to do so.

Itunes will not stream to airport express from iMac. It will work from and HP laptop any reason why?

Problem with Itunes on the iMac. I bought airport express to setream music to my stereo. When I set it up on the iMac (using an ethernet connection) it dropped my internet connection on the router. When I use the Wifi it just times out. I tried using the airport express from my laptop, it worked just fine. I called apple for support and they have not beeen able to help, and I am now 79 dollars in the hole because they suggested I call cisco. I have also spent 6 hours on the phone. any Help would be appreciated.

I got it to work. Turns out there are a few steps that should be taken during the install of ariport express. We have 4 users on our iMac, one being the Administrator, one a guest, and 2 users. After I closed all the applications for each users and logged them off, I was able to connect sucessfully to Airport Express and stream music to my Stereo. Seams simple, but someting we did not look at in my 6 hour marathon yesterday trying to find the reason it did not work.

ITunes can not find my airport express

Hi I'm having a lot of issues trying to setup my airport express.
It's wired to my 3com router, on my computer, using airport utility 5.6.1 for windows, I can manually access to the airport express configuration, but the automatic scan can't find it. I put it on bridge mode.
With the computer I can connect wiressly to the airport express or the router (on both cases I can use the ip of the airport expess to access it).
Itunes refuses to find it. On the airport express I enabled the airplay check and on itunes the " allow itunes audio control from remote speakers".
What else do I need to do to listen to my itunes music from the speakers connected to my airtunes express?
Thanks.

I was able to fix it, the problem was that I used a VM and the virtual ethernet connected to the airport was not the same as the one mapped to the wireless connection.

Streaming to airport express speakers stops....

Ok this is the current situation.
I got a Macbook air with the latest OSX version
A 500 Gb Time capsule with the latest firmware up to date
A Airport Express (with speed N available) also with the latest firmware up to date
The Airport express and the Time capsule are in the same wireless network.
Latest version of Itunes available
The Itunes library is stored on the Time capsule (128GB MCA drive is a bit small)
problem is RANDOM
When i'm playing music trough my speakers connected to the airport express, randomly the sound stops but itunes continues to play the song.
or it happens when itunes switches to the next song and starts playing but there is no sound coming out of the speakers
The only solution i found thus-far is press pauze and press play again, this way the music start playing again trough the speakers. but i find this unacceptable.
sometimes there is no problem for a whole day and sometimes it happens after a random number of songs. And the problem does not only happen when Time machine is backing up the drive.
anyone here had the same problem. or could solve it?

I have this problem as well. I do IT for a living, have been for the past 10yrs. Through my troubleshooting steps, here is what I've observed:
- Itunes stops streaming to airport but continues to play in itunes
- unplug airport, it reconnects, but only briefly and audio drops off again
- update itunes to newest version and all works well. I can stream for hours uninterrupted.
- Open Itunes a few months later and "Itunes Version X is available, do you want to update"
- I select "not now" (I want to listen to my music, not wait for an update!)
- Issue presents itself again, streaming audio drops off.
- So I install the freakin itunes update to the newest version
- Streaming music works again, no issues
- Open Itunes a few months later and "Itunes Version X is available, do you want to update"
- I select "not now" (I want to listen to my music, not wait for an update!)
- Issue presents itself again, streaming audio drops off.
- So I install the freakin itunes update to the newest version
- Streaming music works again, no issues
I've gone through this at least 4 times. The airport always seems to act up whenever the newest version of iTunes/update is available. Not sure if other peripherals act up under the same circumstances and if its something done on purpose to force people to update, but it is annoying. It does make sense though to use as a mechanism to keep people updating their software, "oh its giving you an issue? Well have you updated to the newest version?" - all too natural. I'll let someone else rant about Apple's possible motive for possibly incorporating a feature like this...

Audio stream from airport express while watching a music video on laptop

Hello,
Can anyone help with instructions to have the audio portion of an itunes purchased video stream across the airport express while the video plays on the macbook. It seems to work fine with all of the music files but in trying to watch a video i purchased the audio will only play through the macbook. Any help is appreciated

Hello ehende2. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sorry, but you won't be able to do this as this is a limitation of iTunes/AirTunes.
(ref: iTunes: Movie sound does not play through AirTunes)

Can't Print From Airport Express

Hi. I'm connecting my Epson printer to an Airport Express (g) via usb.
Airport Setup Utility can see the printer, "allow printing over WAN" is checked, the apps can see it - but when I try to print it stalls then says "printer not online."
Any ideas? I'm printing from a MacPro QC 2.66. Ideally I'd like to hook a USB hub up to the Express' usb port, so I can use a scanner as well, but for now I'd be happy to get just one usb device, the printer working.
I read the apple docs on using hubs, so not sure that's possible, but the printer hooked directly to the usb port on the express should work, anyway - right? But all I get is "printer not online" even though the apps can see it.
Any help appreciated.

Not all printers are compatible. Checkout "The iFelix unofficial Airport Extreme and Airport Express Printer Compatibility List"
Ideally I'd like to hook a USB hub up to the Express' usb port, so I can use a scanner as well...
Sorry but the USB port on Apple's base stations do not support scanning.

CAN IPHONE PRINT FROM AIRPORT EXPRESS

hi i just want it i can print from my iphone 4s to the airport express.

You will need an AirPrint compatible printer for this. Check this support document to see if your printer might be compatible.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If you do not have an AirPrint compatible printer, you might still be able to get printing going by using an application like Printopia on your Mac. There is a free trial so you can check to see if it will work.
