Firewall Message with Airtunes and AppleTV

I am using iTunes 8.02 on a Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. I like to stream my music to my AppleTV (which is running the most recent version of the firmware). My wireless router is an Airport Express (running the latest v6.3 software).
In iTunes, I see a drop down menu showing me my AppleTV. When I select it, I see a pop up warning message:
"Your Computers firewall settings will prevent you from using Airtunes.
Please check your Firewall settings
Learn More Ignore Open Firewall Settings"
I click ignore and it works!!
But Why am I getting this message?
I have followed the instructions in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278
I have even disabled "Stealth Mode" in Tiger's firewall suggested in the forums.
What am I missing?
Why do I still get this warning message (yet it works when I click Ignore)?

Then I would be wireless from G5 and AppleTV to the internet. But I would loose the AirTunes / Express capability?
You could only have one function at one time. (So you can't use your G5 and Apple TV on the internet while using AirTunes) as (AFAIK) the AirPort express can't be used as a 'wireless access point' at the same time as AirTunes.
To try and summarize
If you want to use AirTunes and have your computer and Apple TV connected to the same network with internet connectivity at the same time you can:
1. Purchase an AirPort Extreme base station.
2. Connect your cable modem to the AirPort extreme via ethernet, set up a WiFI network and connect your G5 and Apple TV.
3. Join your AirPort express to the AirPort extreme network via client mode.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Were you able to see any of the error codes? Have you tried resetting NVRAM (booting while hold cmd+option+p+r until the second chime)?

How do u send or foward muti media messages with sound and pictures

How do you send or forward a multi media message with both sound and pictures

GarageBand does not have a "Normalize" feature (that's what you're friends are talking about).
iTunes has "Sound Check" which performs that function, however I've never used it and have always been under the impression that it just affected playback within iTunes. Perhaps this is not the case, you'd have to experiment to see if it affected the audio transfered to CD.
Many Audio Editors have a Normalize function, so you might take a look at one of them:

Apple AirPort Express with Airtunes and Netgear WPN824v2 Router

I'm having some trouble getting the AirPort Express with Airtunes to connect to a Netgear WPN824v2 network.
Details:
- Router: Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824v2
- Wireless Network Security: WEP
- Computer: MacBook Pro
- OS: OS X 10.4.10
- AirPort card in computer: this works fine - no problems
- AirPort Express with Airtunes: the setup routine goes OK, but then the unit cannot connect to the wireless network; the light blinks amber.
Could the problem relate to the password (Hex versus ASCII) or perhaps WEP versus WPA?
Any / all suggestions welcome. Thanks.

sonicdubster, Welcome to the discussion area!
Are you following the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode?
Is the AirPort Express (AX) placed in an area where it can receive a good wireless signal from the Netgear?
Does the AX connect if you disable wireless encryption?
WPA (or WPA2) is much more secure and less troublesome than WEP. If all of your equipment supports WPA, I would switch to WPA.

Alternate library - Airtunes and AppleTVs

My iTunes library needs a tidy up as I have a lot of referenced entries with broken links or untagged content.
Thought I would create an alternate library (i.e. database and media files/folders not just the folder of media) on a non-boot internal or external drive, and repopulate from scratch and tidy up along the way.
I couldn't remember in the past if I had to authorise an alternate library again, it would seem not having added a recent music purchase to this from the old library.
Interestingly even though the library name is the same as the other in iTunes Preferences, as well as the top level folder simply being called iTunes as before, the AppleTVs do not appear for syncing/streaming but they are available for Airtunes playback.
Perhaps it's obvious in a way, but this simply reaffirms a previous observation that when AppleTV Devices disappear from iTunes for some reason, these units are still accessible as Airtunes speakers consistent with them using different communication protocols.
Even though all previously registered AppleTVs are listed in the Preferences, they do not appear as Devices - many Preferences seem to be shared between alternate libraries, but clearly some parameter that allows syncing / streaming doesn't, perhaps some unique library ID number. It just seems odd that Devices registered to another library show up, but the actual Devices don't - perhaps AppleTV stores some parameter that does not match to allow the Device negotiation.

Sorry AC, I found it a little hard to follow what it is you observed, it's probably me not you, just finished 2 x 12 hr days doing accounts and my head is pounding.
I'm probably rambling a bit anyway, commenting on things as I find them.
The question, I guess is, does anyone know where the iTunes Device list is actually stored.
The list of devices isn't stored anywhere, they are listed when they become available, if you turn a device of it will disappear from the list (you may need to refresh). They will only appear though if there is a pairing established in preferences (or if the tv is advertising it's services after entering a passcode)
After a bit of delving around the AppleTV device names seem to be in an iTunes plist, but the associatd info is encoded and difficult to decipher.
The list of AppleTVs in Preferences seems to be shared between alternate libraries, so is presumably stored outside of the itunes main folder.
As a result of your observation I'm assuming you are not using an alternate user account.
No I've just opened iTunes holding the option key and created a new iTunes top level folder on an internal non-boot drive.
Each user has a preference file associated with iTunes which is stored in user/library/preferences. Changing the library that is used with iTunes won't change the preferences.
So you would assume, but the AppleTVs registered under another library of the same user account do not appear as devices even though they list under the iTunes>Preferences>AppleTV tab.
If however you were to set up iTunes under another user account, you would have different preferences.
Yes
Interestingly too, as the Devices do not show up in an alternate library without adding them as a new library..........
As I say I don't fully follow that, but if I'm understanding you correctly that shouldn't happen.
Yes, it's odd.
The iTunes Library.xml files have an entry for:
<key>Library Persistent ID</key><string>xxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string>
where the x's are a 'unique' hexadecimal value for each library even under the same user account - I suspect AppleTv itself may use this value to know which libraries it is associated with, though manually editing this value doesn't make devices appear in alternate libraries for the user account.
As for authorisation it is each computer that is authorised. If you set up 16 user accounts on one computer, you could share another computers library 16 times and it would only use up one authorisation.
Just being wary of multiple authorisations on the same computer which can happen I believe.
I recently used the option to reset all (5) authorised computers, which I can't use again for a year and am just being a little cautious.

Error message with Vista and 7.2: Windows-No Disk Exception Processing Mess

I just got a new Dell computer with Windows Vista and I am trying to put iTunes on it. I can install it fine from the original CD, and then I am prompted to update it to 7.2. After updating, this is the message that I get: Windows-No Disk, Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x7620023C 0c847CDB4C 0x7620023C (Cancel Try Again Continue). If I click on any button countless times, iTunes does open up but then I get the blue screen dump message. I have installed and uninstalled it many different times and have tried any of the additional updates/patches with no effect. I did not see this message anywhere else in the forum, anyone able to help?

Unexplained Crashes, lock-ups, Failure to boot and boot-looping in Vista and XP and MAC OS-X.
Have a USB2 external hard drive hooked up to your system? A number of these devices are starting to show up as the cause of the problems listed above. The cause has been linked to drives that were manufactured a year or more ago. Note I said manufactured not purchased. The cause is poor USB 2.0 specifications that the drive case manufactures followed which has deteriorated with age causing the above failures. If this happens to you try disconnecting your external drive and see if your problem goes away. A couple of multifunction printers have also been the cause of similar problems but most of these have higher visibility on internet search engines than the external hard drives.
Sorry, no KB article link. The above is from my reseller, who deals in imaging workstations exclusively.

LG Ally - sending text message with pic AND audio *2 attachments on one message*

I can send an audio file via text message... I can send a picture via text message but for the life of me I CANNOT figure out how to send a pic with audio via text message and it's driving me crazy!
Does anyone know how to do this?

It order to send a picture and sound in the same message, once you have entered the Create Message step, you choose Insert Slideshow instead of Picture. When you insert a slideshow, you will have the ability to add both a picture and sound file in the same message.
Hope this helps!

Help, itunes doesn't want to work with airtunes and my airport express!

Strangely specific problem with playing itunes using airtunes. Just connected an Airport express to my time capsule. All the software and firmware is up to date, and I'm streaming from itunes to an airport express connected to a stereo. My itunes is on a laptop. My library is on the time capsule. Almost everytime the song changes, the audio drops out and stays out until I pause and replay the song. It's the weirdest thing. There are no random audio drops, just a failure to keep playing when the song switches (and it doesn't happen every time, just some of the time). This is similar but not the same as the problems other folks are having with airport express and itunes audio drop outs. Does anyone have a solution?

Problem solved. Upgrading to most recent itunes relased yesterday seems to have fixed the problem.

Error message with pics and contact sharing

all text messages that include a photo or a contact sharing info come across with the message" you can visit my text message at www.mms.... or something to this extent. MMS is turned on and I am using a 3gs iphone with the latest update

If you are in the U.S., your iPhone is running the current firmware and you have installed AT&T's carrier update for the iPhone which is required for this - done via iTunes, contact AT&T customer or technical support to check if MMS is provisioned for your line/number.

What am I missing here with Remote and AppleTV?

I have my iPhone connected fine. I have an AppleTV with audio played through Apple HIFI speakers. I have a dedicated MacBook Pro that feeds all movies, TV Shows and music to my AppleTV. And it works great. But when I select a movie with Remote, it will only play the movie on the compter screen and not through AppleTV to the large HD screen connected to the AppleTV.
In my Remote settings I have AppleTV checked and Computer unchecked. I thought this would do it. But no. Movies will only play on the computer screen and not through the AppleTV to the large screen.
Is this function not supported? The MacBook Pro is setup to stream content to AppleTV. Could this be the problem. I buy all the movies on the MBP and not the AppleTV with only a 40gb hard drive.
Thanks

Hello. Can you be more specific about your setup? I have Apple TV synching to an iMac with a 2TB video library. It also streams to my MBP library. Remote will pair and work great with any of our computers but not with ATV. The instructions for ATV say say "choose Remotes from the General menu". I have done that and my iphones shows up there. Trouble is, when I open Remote on my iphone, ATV STILL only shows up under "Speakers", not "Library". What am I doing wrong? Since the ATV has both synched data on it's HD, successfully streams and sees my iPhone under "Remotes" - why can't I control the ATV? How do I get ATV to show up under the "Library" section?
