Changed Airport Express names, not showing correctly in iTunes

I needed to swap the location of two Airport Express units, and I renamed them accordingly. They show up properly within Airport Utility/OS X, but within iTunes they seem to be cached to their old names. How do I reset them, flush the cache, or simply get them to show properly within iTunes?

another forum answered it.
airport utility, manual setup, music tab, there is a space for the name to show in itunes.
simple and solved.

  • Airport Express does not show up in iTunes to stream audio...

    I updated iTunes to 8.0 and no longer can see my Airport Express as an option in the pull down screen to stream audio from my iTunes to the AE.
    The AE has a green light. which makes me believe that it found my LAN, but it can't find my mac.
    Router: Linksys BEFSR41
    iTunes: 8.0.2
    What am I doing wrong? Why did it break after upgrade to 8.0?

    I have a linksys wired router BEFSR41 and was not able to see Airport express in the iTunes page to stream music to my A/V device for quite some time.
    Linksys set up page has a setting called "Filter Multicast in "security" section that allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time.
    The factory default is "disable". Change this to "enable" and save settings.
    I did not have to restart iTunes to see the change take effect. The Airport Express showed up along with AppleTV for me to select...

  • Airport Express 'names' not updating in Itunes 'speakers'

    Love the iphone remote app
    purchased a few airport expresses -
    Named them - Renamed them
    BUT itunes is NOT picking up the renames -
    any clues on how I 'refresh' the speaker list names in itunes?

    It has a separate name for the AirPort itself and the "iTunes Speaker Name." Use the AirPort Utility and click "Manual Setup" for the AirPort Express, then click the Music icon in the toolbar at the top. From there you can change the name it shows in iTunes.

  • Airport Express does not show up under 10.3.9 - but shows up under 10.4.9

    Hi
    my Room Mate uses an PowerBook with 10.3.9 and was able to use his Airport Express before without any problem.
    Without any reason the Airport disappeared from the options in his list in the taskbar, also looking for preferred networks does not show the station.
    BUT
    if I start my PowerBook - running 10.4.9 - with the latest Utility Program that came with my Airport Extreme BaseStation - I have no problems to identify, configure and connect to the Express Station!
    Why is my Room Mate unable to get the Airport Express on his Mac?

    Max,
    As I read it below, you both have separate internet sources and basically two separate wireless systems. He uses the Airport Express as a base station for his system and you use an Airport Extreme 802.11n for your base station.
    You said he used to be able to access the system but now he can't. What changes to the system were made during that period of time.
    Under these circumstances what I think I would try is for him to open up the old Airport Admin Utility, factory reset his Express, and then try to reconfigure it to build his own wifi system with the old Airport Admin Utility. Once he factory resets it goes back to the factory id and loses all memory of any system it may have been tied to.
    I'd call the new system a different name than the old system and if he uses security use a different password than the first one.
    The thing I don't understand below, if he has his own separate system, I don't understand how you can see and edit his settings because he's not part of your system. However, since you have to be using 10.4.8 or later for the new 802.11n Extreme and it looks like you tried configuring his system with the new Utility and he's running 10.3.9 - that may have something to do with it.
    Beyond this, it's out of my knowledge base.

  • Airport Express speakers not showing in itunes

    Hi,
    I had my Airport express working nicely, but then (foolishly), played around with it a bit and I'm now in a world of pain. I have a G5 imac talking to an AE base station hooked to a DSL router and my stereo.
    What's not working:
    1. The remote speakers don't appear in itunes.
    2. The setup assistant & admin utility can't automatically detect the base station, either through the assistant or by the admin utility. (not sure if this is related or not).
    What is working:
    - I can change the settings by manually selecting the ip address of the base station and logging in.
    - I can connect to the wireless network, and I can access the internet through the base station.
    I've tried factory reset (both holding reset for 10 seconds & holding reset for 10 seconds while plugging the AE into power).
    I've tried the base station with 6.2 and 6.1.1. I'm using v 4.2 of the airport admin software. I'm using v4.9 of iTtunes.
    I've configured the base station to "Enable airtunes on this base station". I've configured iTunes to "look for remote speakers with Airtunes".
    I'm just about at my wit's end. Any ideas?
    Tom

    It's working again. Honestly, I'm not sure what did it but here's what I have as a setup now.
    I bought a Linksys Wireless router and changed the AE from router to a client.
    I installed today's Security Update.
    I deleted iTunes and reinstalled v4.9. I fiddled around a lot with turning on/off the iBook firewall as well as enabling the router's firewall.
    I also added the iTunes ports (3689 tcp and 5353 udp) to the port triggering tab of the router. I restarted iTunes after all this and my remote speakers suddenly showed up.
    Oddly, is that I removed all the settings that I had turned on (ports, firewalls on iBook, etc) and it's still working. I don't know what happened or what triggered it to start working but i think it has something to do with the ports. Who knows. Sorry that I don't have a more definitive solution for others who experience this.

  • Changing Airport Express name problems

    I have three Airport Expresses on a recently set-up network in three different rooms in my house, everything works fine as far as the connections and transmission but here's the problem I can't figure out how to correct. The Airport Express units were from another network at another house where I also used my two Macs, a Macbook and an iMac. The Airports had different room/location ID's/names at the old place, so when I set them up here I gave them new station names according to where they were placed. The names changed fine on the Airport Express's but didn't change on the two Macs. So, how do I reset the station names on the computers in iTunes, does anyone know?

    I'm having the same problem. I looked at the Preferences, but can't find any solution.
    Anyone at Apple know how to fix this. The folks at the store don't.

  • I have a new internet service provider and router and need to re-connect to my airport express. However, Airport Express is not showing up. Also, when I launch Airport utility (new and 5.6), it shows no available devices. What am I doing wrong?

    iMac (2008), 10.7.5
    Airport Express (2008)
    Comcast wifi router

    The AirPort Express must be reset back to factory default settings first, and then reconfigured again.
    To reset the AirPort......
    Power off the device
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button first, then continue to hold the reset button in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the AirPort back into power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Try using AirPort Utility 5.6 now to see if it will "see" the AirPort so that it can be set up again.
    If you are using AirPort Utility 6.x, you must first click on the Other WiFi Devices tab, then click on AirPort Express to start the setup wizard

  • Airport express will not show up as a base station in Airport utility

    I just got Quest service and also Airport express. I hooked it up to my Quest internet modem and Airport Express has a steady green light. That means it is receiving a internet signal right? Then why won't the Airport utility find it as a base station? I cannot go anywhere from there, as far as setting up a wireless network for the airport. Am I missing a key step or what can I do? HELP!

    torenh, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Have you tried doing a hard or factory default reset?
    Have you tried temporarily connecting the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet to your Mac to configure it?

  • Artist name not showing up in itunes

    I just imported an album and the artist names didn't appear in itunes. So, I selected all the songs and added the artist names in the Get Info window. They still don't show in the list on itunes, but they do now show in the info windows of individual songs. Ideas? Here is how the artist names are listed: Frances Clark, Louise Goss, Sam Holland
    Thanks in advance!
    Susanne

    Susan,
    Try this:
    1. Select all of your songs, (click the first song then hold down shift and click the last song).
    2. Once that is done right click the highlighted songs and click get info.
    3. A message will pop up asking if you want to change info for multiple songs select yes.
    4. Once your in this get info screen go to the album artist field and type in all of the artists in that field (make sure you put them in the order you want to see them listed in the itunes libary).
    5. When your finished select ok and you're done!
    (NOTE: *an easy way to see the album artist is by going to the top of the itunes window and you should see three buttons with the word view under them and select the middle button, now you can view all of your albums songs & artwork under the artwork should be the artists name(s).)
    Hope this helps,

  • Vendor name not showing correctly in TDS GL line item display fbl3n

    Hi Gurus,
    I am facing an issue in regards to TDS. As you know that normally we make a cheque payment to a vendor, we issue one cheque for one vendor.
    But my client follows a slightly different practice. Suppose they have to pay an amount of 30000 to three vendor A B C equally 10000 each. They right a self cheque to the SBI bank and also send them the list of these 3 vendors who are also having their account in the same bank. They instruct the bank to take money from their  account and then credit in the respective vendors account.
    Now the transaction goes like this:
    Vendor A   10000
    Vendor B    10000
    Vendor C   10000
        To Bank                 29700
        To TDS on A              100
        To TDS on B              100
        To TDS on C              100
    Now when the user will go to FBL3N and check the TDS GL 100020196 and see the line items it should show like as per the client:
    Vendor A       100
    Vendor B       100
    Vendor C       100
    But it shows the below result:
    Vendor A   100
    Vendor A   100   ( should be vendor B)
    Vendor A   100   (should be vendor C)
    I believe that is the standard behavior of the system to show the vendor line. They do not want to change the way of their posting and their concern is if it shows like the same at the time of return filing how will know vendor wise tds.
    Now either I need to resolve this situation in FBL3N or give them a report which should give them Vendor wise TDS information for the TDS filing.
    J1INMIS report is there but it shows only the TDS and the vendor number, it does not give the vendor name. I either want a solution of this issue in FBL3N or a report which shows vendor wise TDS with vendor number and name. Please let me know if there is a solution to this issue.
    Kindly consider this very urgent.  I am attaching the relevant screenshots.
    Thanks
    Urmila

    Hi
    Unfortunately there is no report in SAP other than J1INMIS which caters to Indian reporting requirements. You can think of enhancing the same.
    Also check your enhancement for FBL3N as to why it is not working as it should with the help of your ABAP Colleagues. It is not displaying the name correctly.
    Thanks & regards

  • Playlist for iphone is not showing correctly in itunes

    Hi, I'm trying to sync my phone (5c) (which I always find very painful) and have a number of playlists that I want to import.  I've figured out how to do that, but the problem is when I connect my phone and view the playlist in itunes, its showing a much older version and not what is on my phone currently.  Also not all my purchased items transferred over.  Any ideas?  I'm on older versions of both itunes and iOS as I've not wanted to update until this is all fixed.
    Thanks
    Kate

    Looking at your profile above, it says you are running OS X 10.5.5, which is now about four years old.
    You have not told us what type of iPhone you have, or what version of iOS it is running.  But my guess is you are far behind in the iTunes version required to see your iPhone.
    Current versions of software are as follows:  iTunes 11.1.1, iOS 7.0.2, OS X 10.8.5.

  • Discussion and Name not showing up in itunes

    Hey everyone
    I've just released a new podcast to itunes through libsyn. When I go to itunes the podcast says it's by 'unknown' and the overall show description isn't on there. Here's the link:
    Can anyone let me know how to fix this.
    Bev

    Link not included. However, the Author entry (currently reading 'unknown') is carried in the 'itunes:author' tag in the feed; and the Description for the overall podcast is carried in the 'itunes:summary' tag, both in the top section of the feed between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag.
    As you're using Libsyn you will probably have to work out where in that you enter the details which appear in those tags (as I assume you won't be able to edit the feed itself), and I'm afraid I can't advise on that.

  • AirPort Express doesn't show in AirPort Utility any more/won't connect to network

    I have an older airport express that I use wirelessly with an AirPort Extreme to extend my network and stream music via AirPlay.  Within the last couple of days it has been unable to join the network.  It has always worked just fine until now.
    The Airport Express powers up, flashes green once, then goes to amber flashing and stays that way forever.  The Airport Express does not show up in AirPort Utility at all.
    I have tried soft, hard, and factory resets to no avail.
    The Airport Express info:
    Model A1084
    Can't check firmware version beasue it doesn't show up in Airport Utility
    The Airport Extreme Info (which is working perfectly fine):
    Model A1143
    Version 7.6.4
    Any further suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dawn

    Mavericks (Apple) will not let you run an older version of AirPort Utility on Mavericks.
    So I've just discovered.  Unfortunately I don't think booting from my older OS is going to work either, as it appears that 6.3.2 is also what I have installed there.
    Doesn't make sense to me still, though, as I upgraded to Mavericks on day 1, but the Airport Expressed worked fine until yeterday.
    I have a roomie with a PC.  Will see if we can configure it on his computer.

  • My airport express is not connecting with my airport extreme base station. They are probably six years old. My IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0

    My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Please refer to the information already posted above:
    If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
    If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
    If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again.
