Enable iTunes Sharing using Airport Extreme

Hi, I'd like to share the iTunes Library when I am travelling. I have an Apple Mini Server and Airport Extreme. When I try to enable the port mapping of  TCP3689 and UDP5353, the UDP5353 is rejected and it conflict with a port in use. Please let me know how to resolve it.
Thanks

Morning taboeric,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
UDP port 5353 is used for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products

Hope this helps,

    how can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

    Hi,
    This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

  • Can't find hard drive shared using Airport Extreme

    Hi,
    I just bought a Airport Extreme and set it up to access the internet. However I am having trouble sharing my external hard drive. I followed the instructions in the manuals but can't see or find my "shared" hard drive on my Mac Air or PC?? I have open Finder but there is now shared drop down menu?
    I am fairly new at this so I am sure it is something small I am doing wrong. Hope some one can help me!!

    This set up was suggested to me by an Apple Store employee when I was shopping for my AirPort Extreme and that same employee seemed to indicate that this was how they actually performed their backups at the Apple Store, so obviosuly I was surprised to find information online that states it is not officially supported.
    Yes, unfortunately we've had a number of reports of similar statements by folks at the Apple stores.
    As Tesserax says, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's probably why Apple doesn't support it. See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    In my case, it worked flawlessly for about 3 months, then every couple of days the backups would come up corrupted. Once, +Disk Utility+ was able to fix it; another time, +Disk Warrior+ could. The other times, the only solution was to erase and start over. Since then, it's worked well, although very slowly on occasion. And that's all with exactly the same hardware, in exactly the same locations. (And the disk is a Seagate Free Agent Pro, too.)
    This forum, and the Time Machine forums, have any number of similar reports.
    I'd strongly suggest you either:
    Return the Airport (and perhaps the disk) to the store. Insist on a full refund because of bad advice, and refer them to the Apple article.
    Take your chances, but by all means keep some sort of secondary backups. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum), for some recommendations.

  • File sharing - using airport extreme

    Have a Macbook, iMac G5 and Airport Extreme. Trying to setup network to be able to share files.
    Any help is appreciated

  • How to share files using airport extreme?

    how can i share files between 2 computers connected to a wifi using airport extreme?

    Suggest that you enable File Sharing on both computers. Assuming that you have Macs....
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Sharing
    Enter a check mark next to File Sharing
    Do this on both Macs. Then you will be able to access files one one Mac from the other Mac
    If you have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n, it is also possible to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the Extreme. Computers will be able to access files on this "shared" drive.

  • Network set up using airport extreme, time capsule and airport express

    I have searched for relevant answers but can only find different bits here and there.
    My set up is as follows:
    I have a Linksys wireless router running a stable wireless network for the other computer users in the house and wish to create an extended, additional network using airport extreme connected to the Linksys by ethernet to create the network and then time capsule close to my Mac Mini on my desktop and airport express at the other end of the house to try and extend the range of the network.
    I have been trying for 4 days to set this up but without success. I have tried all of the options mentioned in different posts, using WDS, extending a new network etc. I can get connection between the three devices but monitoring on iStumbler there appears to be little improvement in the strength of the signal, iStumbler also shows the time capsule dropping it's signal totally every 10 or so seconds for a few seconds and then I get a positive signal strength for another ten seconds or so.
    Can anyone help, it is driving me insane. I am a recent convert to apple computing and have been hugely impressed with all products until now. The claim that the set up of these wireless products is simple seems to be very exaggerated.
    I am happy to provide any relevant system or hardware information.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    I have an AirPort Extreme acting as a wireless base station, connected to a BT router by ethernet.
    Then the correct setting for Connection Sharing on the AirPort Extreme would be "Off (Bridge Mode)".
    If I set Connection Sharing to "Share a public IP address", I'm told that:  "The DCHP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Apple Wi-Fi base station"
    Exactly. You have two routers....The BT device and the AirPort Extreme in series with both of them trying to act as the "main" router when you configure the AirPort this way. That won't work.
    Only one can be the main router, and it must be the BT device in your setup. So, the AirPort Extreme....and any other AirPorts on your network must be setup to work in Bridge Mode to allow the network to operate correctly.

  • Use Airport Extreme Disk as a local web server

    Hello!
    I have an Airport Extreme (802.11n) with a hard disk connected and shared using Airport Disk. I'd like to install Apache HTTP server on the connected drive so that I can host a local (available to intranet users only) web site. I am running into an error compiling Apache 2.2.9, but I'm thinking it might be a limitation of what is possible on an airport disk. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.
    Best,
    Jay

    Duane:
    Thank you for your response. Maybe Apple file share can help me accomplish what I want but I think FTP is the easiest means for my needs. Ill have to do more research. Ultimately, I want other people to be able to send my digital files ( up to 2-3 GB at a time) . Now I , have a converted Windows machine going through a linksys router. That was relativly easy to set up as a server able to receive FTP. I was hoping I could reduce all that machine and energy down to a single HD but it looks like that is not possible.

  • Custom icon on a disk shared via Airport Extreme

    I have a USB hard drive that I am sharing via an airport extreme. In the finder, under "Shared" I see my airport extreme. When I click on that, I see my external drive. I would like to change the icon for that, but the standard Get Info -> paste doesn't seem to work.
    I've tried to set a custom icon on a test folder on my hard drive and it works. I also tried it on a test folder on the USB drive shared via airport extreme, and that worked. But I can't set the icon for the drive itself. Any suggestions?

    No, they pulled it, even though Steve promised the wireless backup feature in his latest keynote. One hour into it to be exact.
    http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d7625zs/event/
    Now, I am very much against releasing a product before its ready, so I respect them for that. However Steve VERY clearly states that it was already working and would release with Leopard. He usually makes a very very clear distinction between things they "can/might" do and things that are working. He even goes into detail about how all the house macs can wirelessly use the same backup through the Airport Express. THEY EVEN HAVE A PICTURE of it!
    So they need more time, okay. But I feel lied to. The least they could do is make a press release with an ETA! The hush hush, makes it seem like they are going to scrap it and pretend it never happened.

  • Can I use AirPort extreme to play musik on my sterio

    Can I use AirPort Extreme to play music from Itunes, on my sterio? Or is it just AirPort Express.?

    Express only. Only the Express has a audio jack.

  • ITunes SHaring and airport setup

    What exactly do i need in order to:
    Be able to stream any of my music on my NAS to my Amplifier downstairs that is basic no network connectiviy?
    Am i right in saying if i get a say Intel 3 or core 2 duo Headless PC hidden away somewhere with XP or Win 7 be better then  load itunes onto this load up all my music onto this either by a network drive or i may just plug in a 1tb usb drive.
    Then downstairs buy an Airport extreem plug the jack into my phono of my amp.
    THen from my ipad / iphone i can then control my itunes to play to the airport extreem/amp?
    Is this right or any better solutions?

    iTunes Sharing will affect bandwidth just as would any other network traffic. The impact can be estimated by multiplying the bit rate of the shared music by the number of people listening to a shared library. For example, if 10 people are listening to 128 Kbps tracks from other people's workstations, that would be about 1280 Kbps of network load. That wouldn't have much impact on a 100 Mbps network, but 1000 users sharing clearly would. So whether iTunes sharing is causing your performance issues will depend on how many of your users are listening to shared music. If it's just a few, that's probably not your problem unless they're sharing tracks with very high bit rates.
    To block sharing, you can either turn off Sharing and Look For Shared Music at each workstation and lock them off using the Parental option in iTunes (Preferences -> Parental) or you can just block TCP port 3689 which is the port iTunes Sharing uses.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme?

    Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme 802.11n ?

    iOS devices use AirPrint to print directly to a printer. That would require a printer that is AirPrint-ready. Unfortunately, just connecting a non-AirPrint-ready printer to the USB or Ethernet ports of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), will NOT enable it for AirPrint.

  • How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

    How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

    You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
    The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
    The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
    So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
    If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids?  His computer is hardwired to the modem.

    How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids?  His computer is hardwired to the modem.

    You can set up daily time limits for each computer that connects using wireless, but it is not possible to do this when a computer is connecting directly using a wired Ethernet connection.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
    Click the Access Control tab below the icons
    Select Timed Access
    For more details on this, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:
    Controlling access to your wireless network
    A more sophisticated approach would be to use a service provided by OpenDNS. From your computer, this would allow you to monitor web sites visited, and block any unsuitable sites. More info is here:

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC
