Can't get iTunes to play through Airport....

On my G5, when I am in iTunes and click to play music through the Base Station, a bar comes up "Connecting to Base Station" but it never connects. I have waited up to 5 minutes with no results.
I am guessing this is in the G5 because when I do the same process from my iBook it works fine.
I have looked in the help pages and found nothing that fixes this ...
ANY TIPS would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

  • Can't get itunes to connect to airport express via air tunes

    Hi,
    I just bought and installed an airport express (for windows 7) everything is now connected but i can't get itunes to recognize my airport express via air tunes. I can see the multiple speakers in itunes, but when i click on it to connect to airport it just comes up with connecting, loads for about a minute then minimizes without connecting.
    Has anyone else experienced this? How can i get this to work?

          You've probaby solved this by now, but if not... When upgrading itunes on a Vista or Windows 7 machine with Windows Firewall running for some reason Bonjour can't get through the firewall and thus Airplay does not work. Not good when all your Hi-fi's are connected via airport express!
    I found to resolve the issue you have to install an older version of Bonjour. It won't work if you try to do this straight from Apple.  So try this...
    1. Firstly install and older version of itunes from the web (say version 10.1) Try www.oldapps.com
    2. Then find the Bonjour file in program files
    3. Cut and paste it to your desktop with its contents
    4. Uninstall itunes and Bonjour via your control panel (the desktop file of Bonjour you moved will still be there).
    5. Install your new version of itunes, say version 10.5, from the apple website.
    6. Before opening it go to program files and cut the (newly installed) Bonjour file and paste it somewhere different to the desktop (you can't just delete it). It does not matter where you won't be needing it.
    7. Now Cut and paste the old version of Bonjour you stuck on the desktop in Program files in place of the one you just moved.
    8. Hey presto, Airplay, Windows firewall and your Airport Express' should all get on again.
    Hope this works...

  • How can I get itunes to play one album from start to finish, especially when there are different artists on it?

    How can I get itunes just to play albums from beginning to end? Often if an artist has a guest artist, or there are 'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately, so listening from beginning to end becomes not one click away, but a multitude of clicks away just to make a play list which returns the album to its original state. Why can't Apple do this as a default?

    If your music is sorted by "Albums", even a compilation is a single click.
    'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately,
    That happens when you sort your music by "Artist".

  • Can not get ituns to play songs contiuously tried everything I can think of

    How do I get Itunes to play continuous?
    Was working fine but since last up grade can not get it to play continuously.

    Apps that you download from the iTunes app store only work on iOS devices i.e. an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch (and some apps don't work on all three) - they can't be used on a PC or Mac.

  • HOW CAN i GET ItUNES TO PLAY MY TUNES?

    i AM UNAB;E TPO PLAY MY MUSIC FILES ON ItUNES. I uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes app with no change.  The ap appears to load but doesnot play.What can I do to get it to play?

    I have a similar problem. Bought an external drive to store music and pictures, followed the instructions on several threads here on how to transfer these from my D drive (the back up drive on the computer itself) to the L drive (the Buffalo Linkstation); changed the location of the library to the correct address where all the music files are (I can see them there) having consolidated them there. It could not find any of them unless I individually located them (there are over 9000 tracks so I have not got time to do that). I changed the location back to the original and it found them again. Next I tried following the thread on the .itl file - using shift and selecting the library on the L drive, but it only found 300 tracks, some bought, some transferred, some full albums, some only part of the album, an apparently random selection. I tried going back to the original .itl file and the same happened - it only found the same small selection of tracks. I know the files are still there - I can see them, but I have no idea how to connect itunes to them. Please help!

  • How can I get iTunes to play more than one song before stopping?

    When I click on a song listed in iTunes, iTunes plays it and then stops. How can I get it to continue and play the next song, and then the next..
    Thanks

    I just found the answer. iTunes will play consecutively the songs that are checked, if Controls --> Repeat Off is checked. When I asked the question I had unchecked all songs.

  • I just connected a new airport express to my stereo but the itunes on my desktop mac isn't version 4.6 and every attempt to download the newer version only ends up downloading 4.1. How do i get my desktop itunes to play through airport express?

    Why doesn't my airport express work with itunes 4.1 and why can't I update the version I have to 4.6? Each time I find a site with 4.6 and click download it downloads as the earleir 4.1 version and not the newer one.

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • Can't get Itunes to play all the music in folder.

    I have Vista and just put iTunes on it to use instead of Media Player. My problem is if I select more then 10 files to play or just hit the "Play All" button in the folder the files open in Media Player and not iTunes. These are .mp3 files which I have associated to iTunes. If I open a single file it opens in iTunes and I am not given a warning that iTunes is the default player. Can anyone help me figure out how to make iTunes play all the music I select without having to open it and import it each time. I have over 300 CDs on the computer and some times I just want to go to the folder in explorer and launch all the music from that CD.

    I think you just need to figure out the tricks to getting the album you want up in iTunes. It is very easy actually.
    First, if you turn on View Browser (you can't be in the cover flow view to see the browser) you get three windows at the top of your library: Genre, Artist, Album. When you pick anything from any of those windows, it immediately narrows down the library view to things that meet that choice (e.g. if you pick U2 then the library will only show tracks with Artist = U2.
    In addition, those three boxes will narrow down to only show what fits with whatever you type in the search field. Meaning, normally if you have thousands of songs and hundreds of artists, scrolling through the little artist box to find that one artist or the album box to find that one album is kind of tedious. But say you want to listen to The Clash's "London Calling". In the search box you can just type in Clash or London (or both) and the three Browser boxes (and your library view) will quickly narrow down to only tracks where Clash and London appear. Likely the Album window will now only show a few choices. Click the "London Calling" one and your library now only shows that album. Now you can play just that album. Of course it sounds like more when you type it all out, but to open iTunes, type "Clash London" then click on the London Calling album takes all of about three seconds, likely quicker than it is to dig through folders in your hard drive.
    Sorry, but I don't have any answers for your Windows association problem with trying to load more than 10 tracks, but I think you may find the above method to be much easier to navigate.

  • Can't get itunes to play on my computer

    I have Window 8.1 and just did an update in itunes but when I went to play my songs they won't play.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Can't get Itunes to play continuously

    Itubes stops playing after each song. Even in Party Shuffle not songs appear. Is there setting to change this?

    Are there check marks beside all the songs? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

  • Can't get Audio to play through when importing using iMovie '09

    Anyone know how to get audio to work when importing DV footage into iMovie '09.
    It used to work fine in iMovie HD. Any ideas??
    Yours sincerely,
    Anthony
    Irish MacUser & MacAddict

    I've just spent a while trying to figure this out ...
    I used this feature (monitoring audio on import) all the time in previous versions of iMovie ...
    Kind of essential I think ...
    Now we have a new 'feature' in iMovie where you can't monitor audio during import.
    Wouldn't it be nice if Apple documented this somewhere (maybe on iMovie Help ...).
    I understand about hi-speed import from other (non DV) formats ...
    So why not just let the user hit the 'mute' button if they don't want to listen to audio on import ?
    Pretty simple - rather than having this somewhat arbitrary rule imposed on iMovie users ?
    The only way to monitor audio during import is to plug headphones into the camera itself.
    Which means we are wearing a thing with a wire attached - making the BT headset capability of the Mac somewhat redundant.
    Oh well ... one step forward, one step back.

  • I updated to 7. and can't get iTunes to play?

    Can anyone help?

    Which ipod are you trying to sync rented movies to. The rented movies will only sync to the ipod classic, the new nano, the touch, and the iphone, they will not sync to a 5th generation ipod with video, which people often confuse with the classic.

  • Can't get iPad to play iTunes Library from LaCie Fuel

    Hi All,
    First time poster here so I hope I'm posting in the right section!
    I bought a Lacie Fuel specifically for my husband to be able to access our iTunes library when he's off working at remote sites for weeks on end. I followed all the instructions on how to copy the library to the drive and install the Seagate media app on the iPad. The app recognises the library and all the media files - even the artwork - but when we go to play something, it opens a internet browser screen, says it's loading then just comes up with a grey strip across the screen and a 'play' arrow... however it will not play no matter what you do from this point.
    IVe spoken extensively with LaCie support and they've exhausted all their options in trying to assist me. They eventually told me to speak to Apple as they can only assume it's an iTunes/iTunes Store permissions issue. Apple fobbed me off saying it's not their hardware so not their problem.
    Apparently this device works fine for 'everyone' else!
    So the facts are as below;
    * any file that is in the library but not bought from the iTunes Store plays through the iPad fine.
    * I ensured I copied the entire iTunes library and all associated files across to the LaCie Fuel - I.e: not just the actual movies and TV files themselves. I was careful about this as I'm gathering the permissions would be tied into files associated with the library somehow?
    * my iTunes Library is stored on an external hard drive but still works fine through iTunes on the Mac Desktop and our various Apple TV's.
    * the Mac desktop is running OSX 10.9.5 and iPad mini (brand new as of a month ago) is running the latest software. iTunes is 12.1.0.50. The Seagate App is also the latest version.
    Has anyone else had the problem? I'm so frustrated at having spent so much money on this - and disappointed my husband so much as it was the perfect solution for him - only to be unable to get it to work!

    Unfortunately I don't have first hand experience with the Lacie device but reading your question you said you installed the Seagate media app. I checked the App Store and there is also a LaCie app by Seagate. Check also the link below. I,m going to ask the hosts to move your question to the iPad Forum, hopefully someone has an answer for you.
