Cannot get iTunes to recognize remote speakers via Airtunes

I have the option checked under iTunes preferences to look for remote speakers. The Airport Express device is "up and running" and glowing a continuous green which tells me it recognizes the wireless Belkin Pre-N router which is the central router for 2 windows laptops, a mac mini and this iBook. The mac mini is hard wired to the router; all others are wireless. A couple of items worth noting: Airport Express has worked previously on the iBook. Prior to running the Belkin Pre-N...I was running a Linksys 802.11b router. In addition, the motherboard on this iBook was replaced by Apple earlier in the summer. The iBook was returned with no problem and the hard drive remained intact. I tried to follow D.Lovell's link (hats off...by the way, nice job) but did not get very far.I hardwired the iBook to the Belkin Pre-N router and established an internet connection. I then tethered the Airport express to the router via ethernet cable and powered up Airport Express. Flashing yellow ensued....no green. Per Lovell's instructions, I opened Airport Admin Utility and nothing is recognized here. If I hit rescan or find other, another window pops up asking for IP address and password. Perhaps I am wrong here but I enter the IP address the router assigns to the IBook but I have no password to enter as Ive never associated a password with this router. This is as far as I can go in the process. Do I have an Apple issue? A Belkin issue? I feel as though I am close to solving this ....and its all the more frustrating that it worked previously...No firewall software runs in the background. Help????????

If when the Airport Express is cabled to one of the ethernet LAN ports on your Belkin wireless router, and the Airport Express doesn't within a short period of time show a solid green status light, then the next thing I would do is a factory default reset of the Airport Express per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
If the problem persists then one of the following has happened:
- you have a defective Airport Express
- you have a defective ethernet cable connecting the Airport Express to the Belkin router
- the LAN port the Airport Express is cabled to on the Belkin router is defective

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. Tried everything. Help!

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything. I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine. I'm at my wits end. Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on? Thanks so much!

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

Music has skips on local speakers when using remote speakers via airtunes

Using airtunes connected to a stereo the computer (Windows media center) "skips" like a bad CD but the remote speakers never do. Turning off multiple speakers and the skipping goes away.

Just updated to a refurbished MacBook running Maverick from an iBook on Panther. I can't get iTunes to recognize my library in my external. Thoughts?

I just boght a refurbished MacBook (2009ish) with 4gb RAM and 160gb hard drive, running Mavericks. It is an update from a 2006 iBook running Panther. I have a tera external. As this is a refurbished machine, I do not have the startup disks.
In general setup has been fine, with the exception of a couple of issues.
1. I cannot get iTunes to recognize my iTunes library on my external. I've done all the setup, a few times, but it just won't acknowledge it's there. I downloaded a few files from the Cloud, but when I look in the library they're not there. They're also not in the "music" folder on the hard drive. Suggestions?
2. For some reason, when I create an "iTunes Media" folder on my external, iTunes does not save things into it. Every single album/song/artist is listed as a separate folder. That is, when I open my external in Finder I get a window with well over 100 folders. This would be fine, if not for the fact that I have other, non-iTunes files, on my external and it makes it a pain to find them when I need to. This isn't such a big deal, but it is a rather pain in the arse. Thoughts?
3. I have also moved my iPhoto library to my external, but when I click on "iPhoto Library" in my external I don't see any actual files, despite there being over 1000 photos in the library. Is this normal? It doesn't seem right.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

search Google for "iphone not recognzied" for countless instructions and articles.

Move from PC to Mac.. getting itunes to recognize library on EHD

I just got a mac after our windows xp laptop was dropped down a flight of stairs and rendered useless. We had been storing our itunes library on an external hard drive. I've been reading up in help and this forum to figure out what I need to do to get my husbands ipod reformatted for the mac and to get back up and running with itunes.
This is what I think I need to do..
1. Get the library on the EHD copied over to the mac and then reformat the EHD so we'll be able to right to the hard drive from the mac. I think I need to use the consolidate library feature to do the copying. After that, I'll want to copy the libary back and continue using the EHD to store music.
2. Reformat the ipod and get a mac install of the software on it then sync back up to itunes.
I'm having problems getting itunes to recognize/display the music library to even begin the first step. I've got the EHD connected and can view the files via the finder, but I can't get itunes to load up the existing music library.
Can someone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Kristin

Easiest way, to me, is Home Sharing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
Same way to set it up on both a Mac and a PC. It will also work between the two without issue as long as you are connected to the same network.
Otherwise you can use one of the other methods listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files. If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud. Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPod over a network?

Ok So I have an Apple Time Capsule which I use as my router and NAS drive. Though I also plug my iPod into the usb port on it. The iPod is recognized on my computer and over the network easily although how can I get iTunes to recognize it and be able to add music and video?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You can restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is not restored.

Hello there,
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not seen in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
2. If your iPod displays an exclamation point folder or sad iPod icon
3. Charge the iPod and make sure it is getting power
4. Secure the iPod's connections
5. Disconnect other USB Devices
6. Determine whether your iPod's cable functions properly
7. Place the iPod into Disk Mode
8. Determine which format the iPod is in
9. Verify that USB drivers are installed
10. Determine if Windows confuses iPod with a network drive
11. Determine if third-party software may be causing conflicts
12. Reinstall iTunes
13. Make sure FireWire card is a WHQL-certified IEEE 1394 card
14. Check for a conflict in the FireWire chain
15. Determine if there may be an issue with your computer
16. Your iPod needs service
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with this article named:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Cannot Get iTunes Homepage to load

I am running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes. When it tries to load, I only get a blank screen with iTunes Store in the middle. No homepage. I have tried the "fixes" on the website, which is what the support folks referenced me to. I still cannot get iTunes homepage to appear. If anyone has any ideas I am open. I have used iTunes on this computer before.

I think I have the same problem. I can access the itunes store, youtube etc from the apple tv, I can play items on my playlist on the apple tv by switching to apple tv speakers on the bottom of my itunes page. But when it comes to loading my library the wheel just keeps on turning. There does seem to be a connection to my itunes as changes to my library name in itunes is reflected on the apple tv under "Computers"
I am not sure that this has anything to do with it, but I do not have a "SHARED" library in itunes even though my Home Sharing is switched on, which is verified by the fact that I can see my library name and play music on the apple tv.

Cannot get itunes to load on new computer. Widows 7 any ideas???

I have ane wcomputer running Win 7. I cannot get itunes to load. i authorized the unit and all i get is a prompt to repair or delete itunes. When i hit repair it then promps me to delete itunes and that is the only choice I have. any ideas?????

You can only have 5 computers authorised at the same time. If you won't be using the old computer you should deauthorise it.
Don't try to transfer your library via home sharing, simply copy the entire iTunes folder (and all subfolders) across the network or via an external drive. If the media folder is not a subfolder of the main iTunes folder that holds the database files (or you have any media in other locations) then these folders need to end up at precisely the same paths on the new computer as they had on the old one, otherwise as long as the media folder remains a subfolder of the iTunes folder all should be well.

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.
