Connecting speakers thru airport express

I have airport express and want to play the same music as on my apple tv in another room. I plugged the speakers into airport express and clicked on multiple speakers but it does not work. Any clue?

launch airport utility and enter manual setup for the express, then go to the music tab.
is there a checkmark in the little box next to enable AirTunes ?

  • Can't connect itunes to my remote speakers thru airport express

    After having updated the latest itunes 7.3 my itunes does not recognize anymore my remote speakers and does not connect to them.
    Have resetted my airport, to no avail. still, itunes does not recognize it.
    please advise what to do as it is very annoying, when you make updates that your old configuration stops working.
    many thanks

    I had the same problem. It used to work without any problems but then stopped for no apparent reason. I tried resetting and hard-resetting the Airport Express (AX) many times, but no success. Plus the Airport Utility would never show the Airport Express once I configured it to join the exisiting wireless network (in my case a Airport Extreme).
    Anyway finally this worked for me:
    1) Hard-resetting the AX
    2) Start Airport Utility and find the AX. But instead of going throught the guided steps to set it up, double click on the AX symbol and to set it up manually. Yo will see 5 icons in the meny bar - Airport, Internet, Music, Printers, Advanced.
    - Airport --> Base Station: In give it any name and password.
    - Airport --> Wireless. Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network. Select it below and the appropripate security settings and password.
    - Music --> Enable AirTunes. Leave the rest alone.
    3) Click Update. Close the window and wait until the AX restarted. (solid green light)
    4) Let the AirPort Utility rescan the network.
    5) Restart your wireless base station/router (as I said, in my case Airport Extreme. If you have another base station you may have to do it manually)
    6) Start iTunes and presto you will see the remote speakers
    7) Let AirPort Utility rescan the network. Presto, you see both the AX and the base station.
    My setup: MacBook OS 10.4.10, Airport Extreme and Express, HP with WinXP Pro. Can also stream music form iTunes on the HP.

  • Cannot hear my remote speakers in itunes thru Airport Express?

    Anyone have this problem, I set up my Airport Express last week and everything worked correctly. I was able to set up a network, print and listen to music wirelessly. However, over the weekend since installing itunes 8, my remote speakers wont work with the airport express. i keep getting (unknown error -15000} and my speakers seem to make a crackle. Im still able to get to the web, and print on my AE. Ive checked all the problems, everything is plugged in, i reset up the network, used the airport utility, the AE is still in the same place , it has not been moved. At bottom of itunes, it says it will play music thru AE and not computer. Please help If I cant play my itunes wirelessly, my new macbook is almost useless.

    i'm having the same problem, there used to be an icon in the lower right hand corner to connect to my airport express and it doesn't exist anymore, i tried shutting down, unplugging and plugging the airport express back in, but i still have no option to send music to it. any luck with yours?

  • Can I share my internet with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely connect speakers?

    Can I share my internet from my Imac with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely to connect speakers?
    The big problem that I'm having is that when internet sharing via the airport I can not simultaneously connect with my airport express.  It would be great to be able to share internet from my Imac so I can be using my Ipad and at the sametime have my wife use the airport express to stream music in a different room. It would be awesome to be able to have the ability to do both. Does anybody know how?

    Unless your iMac was made before 2006 (this forum is for old iMacs), you might get better assistance by posting in one of the following forum areas:

  • How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

    How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

    You can connect the Bose to the AirPort Express with either a digital optical or analog audio cable. For best sound I would recommend the digital connection.
    Your Bose speakers should already come with a digital optical audio cable with TOSlink connectors on either end. Either get a 3.5 mm to TOSlink adapter for the end that you will connect to the Express' audio port or get another cable with a 3.5 mm connector on one end and a TOSlink connector on the other. An example could be seen here.

  • I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express.

    I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express, so how can I get the wireless bluetooth speakers to play at the same time in my bedroom?

    Did you ever get this to work?  My guess is that the speakers are out of bluetooth range at that distance.

  • Connecting to wireless thru airport express (joined home network)

    I have a wireless router in my bedroom, which is the source of internet connection.
    I use the airport express to join this connection, and this airport express is now plugged in my living room.
    the name of the wireless connection is "my_name room".
    the name of the airport express is "my_name airport express".
    i cannot locate the "my_name express" on my devices, including macbook pro, and iphone 5.
    i can only locate "my_name room".
    is this normal for using airport express as an extension of a network ?
    thanks in advance.

    What are the benefits of extending a wireless network then ?
    Unfortunately, you are not extending your wireless network since the Express is not compatible with your router for that purpose. 
    The benefits to extending a wireless network...assuming that your Express is working with a compatible wireless router.....are the same as "joining" with the added plus that the Express is also providing more wireless signal, so the wireless signal strength will be provided over a greater area.
    Another question is, the only purposes of joining a wireless network are for AirTunes, and remote printing ?
    As I mentioned above, the Express can be used for AirTunes or a remote printer when it is configured to "join" a network. It can only "extend" a wireless network when it is used with another Apple product. In that case, the Express is configured to "extend a wireless network".

  • Remote speakers via Airport Express no longer working on one iTunes instance

    I have iTunes on my iPhone, Windows desktop, and Windows laptop. At one time they all connected to my Airport Express with remote speakers attached. At some point, after a version upgrade, my laptop no longer sees the remote speakers while the other devices work fine. I can connect to the Airport Express from the laptop, there is no connectivity issue. I can even use the Apple Utility to read/change the settings.
    How can I get the remote speakers working again?
    Thanks, Andrew

    Hello Andrew,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with AirPlay through iTunes on your laptop.  I found an article with things you can check when you are not able to AirPlay. 
    I recommend following the steps in the section titled "If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear" in the article below, but this step specifically stands out to me for the situation you described:
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.

  • Outdoor Speakers and Airport Express

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking at rock speakers to put in my backyard and connect to airport express, these ones especially:
    http://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/hf5.html
    Can anyone give me a rundown on how to use these speakers with airport express and what kind of things I'll need besides them to get them to work with Airport Express?
    Any instructions would be greatly appreciated, I've looked all around and can't find any help so far.

    This may be possible. The AirPort Express is an AirPlay capable device. If your current wireless speakers are also AirPlay capable, then you should be able to stream to both these wireless speakers and to speakers connected to the Express via an analog/digital audio cable simultaneously or separately.

  • Bose companion 2 speakers with airport express?

    Will these speakers work with airport express? Do I need any additional wires?
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H0832B/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0MA&mco=MTkzMTk5NzE

    Either the Bose or JBL will work fine and both are supplied with the audio cables that you will need to connect to the AirPort Express.

  • Remote speakers on AirPort Express not found

    Remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express network can't be found by iTunes or Airfoil. The previously available drop down menu on iTunes and Airfoil are no longer present.
    Airport express is connected to fibre optic cable, MacBook is using Wifi to stream music from computer to remote speakers.
    The system was working fine until some recent Apple updates that auto installed via software update.
    Would welcome any help with this.
    Steven

    Found idea of unplugging airport express, closing Itunes, the replugging teh airport express and restart itunes. The speakers are showing once more.
    Thought others may find this useful.

  • ITunes not seeing remote speakers on Airport Express

    ... but the Airport seems to be set up correctly. "Enable AirTunes" is checked in Airport Utility, and "Look for remote speakers..." is checked in iTunes. The wireless network (WPA2 encryption) is set up through a different Airport Express (we'll call it #1); the new one (#2) is only for streaming to the stereo (cable connection, modem, and Airport Express #1 are at the other end of the house, in the basement). I have a green light on #2, and it shows up fine in Airport Utility.
    in the long term, I'm planning to use Airfoil to stream Grooveshark to the stereo - AX #2 shows up in Airfoil's speaker options, but Airfoil can't connect to it, just times out. I figured I'd resolve the issue in iTunes or with the network, then deal with Airfoil if it's still a problem (which I don't think it will be). I've searched the forum, but not found anything quite like this - most people seem to be having problems with iTunes losing a connection, or they at least have the drop-down menu to select remote speakers - I don't even have that. I've seen references to opening a port on the router; I have no idea what that means or how to do it. Any help is appreciated!
    thanks,
    Andrew

  • Wireless Speakers via Airport Express

    I have two sets of powered speakers which I play my music from iTunes via Airport Express units. My issue is after months of excellent sound and no problems, it appears I am now losing connection to the speakers which means the music stops and starts, VERY frustrating....! The internet connection via the Airport Express units is not a problem, just the music.
    Has anyone had similar problems and is there an answer...??????

  • Cannot Print Wirelessly thru Airport Express

    I've seen this question before w/o an answer. I installed Airport Express, works beautifully and instantly like all Mac stuff. I can print ok from my iMac wirelessly thru Airport Express to an HP Photosmart 8450 connected to the Airport USB port. Then I try to print with my legacy machines (3 IBM Thinkpads w/ Win XP) wirelessly...it just doesn't work. I followed the instructions in the Express manual, created the port connection, etc., nothing. If I connect the USB cable directly to the Thinkpad it prints ok. I checked in the list and the printer is supported.
    I've tried to find an answer for this for days. I know many people go thru the same. Hints? Thanks
