How to hide an Express in iTunes Multiple Speakers list

Hi, I'm running a wi-fi and Airtunes network in my Brooklyn Loft that I'm very happy with: 1 Airport Extreme creating the wi-fi network, and 4 different Airport Expresses, each connected to a separate stereo. It all works beautifully, and Airtunes can even be controlled with the iPhone "Remote" app, controlling the playing of iTunes from different MacBook Pros on the network. It's great.
So I bought a 5th Airport Express and set up a WDS network and added that 5th Express as a "remote" station to extend the WDS Network. It's set to WDS Remote. I plugged in the right "channel" and Airport ID for the Extreme base station, and it seems to work great for when we're sitting near it with our iPhones (which is way too far from the base station Airport Extreme for good wi-fi reception).
The problem is, this 5th Airport Express, which I'm using to extend the wi-fi network, shows up in my Multiple Speakers list in iTunes. And when I'm on the iPhone, changing speakers when moving around the loft, if I accidentally tap on the icon for this 5th Airport Express, all *$&#^ seems to break loose. iTunes goes nuts, the speakers list crashes, and I usually have to take the Express offline, completely wipe it, reboot the base station Airport Extreme, completely reconfigure the 5th Airport Express, and after 3 hours of this, hey, I'm just a little tired, if you catch my drift.
So is there a way to HIDE an AE in that Multiple Speakers list in iTunes? I hope so Because I don't think the device will work as both extending the wi-fi network AND being an AirTunes node, and its role in extending the network is creating this small, weird problem for using AirTunes.
Thanks for any thoughts or help on this!

Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following change:
Music tab
o Enable AirTunes (unchecked)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

When I select multiple speakes in Itunes i get an error saying "an unknown error occurred (-3256)." I can select the remote speakers by them self and they work fine but when I select all speakers or multiple speakers I get the error message. what can I do?

Only firewall I have is what is standard on my mac, and if that is what your talking about, I do not know how you do that UDP traffic thing.

How do I add one contact to multiple distribution lists?

I have employees that work on more than one project and therefore need to be on multiple distribution lists. Outlook groups is able to accomplish this but I can not get it to work on my MAC using Mail and Contacts.
For Example, John needs to be on the following lists:
Entire Team
Project A
Project B
Problem I am facing is that when I drag and drop the John from main contacts it will only allow him to be in one group and removes him from the one he was previously added to. How do I get around this?
Thank you!

ITunes: Multiple Speakers

I have an old AirportExpress, that doesn't support Multiple Speakers. Do I have to buy a new one or can I change the settings / update the software?

Upgrade the firmware of the Airport Express to the latest version.

How to submit InfoPath form data to multiple SharePoint lists at one time?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to submit certain data in InfoPath form to separate SharePoint lists at the same time. I have a form that has two views with many data in them. I want to keep these data in separate SharePoint list besides keeping them in the XML. I know that you can submit to a form library using SharePoint document library data connection, but I'm not sure if you can use several data connections for submitting data to multiple SharePoint lists. Is it only possible to do using code? If yes, can anyone show a sample. I have never coded in InfoPath, though I used C# a lot in .Net.
Thank you!Regards,
R.D.M.

This is an old thread but I tripped over a codeless method to do this with OOB InfoPath 2010 and SP 2010.
Assuming your main InfoPath form is published to a document library with the promoted fields that you want to see.
Publish your form to a new document library to capture the secondary data fields that you want separated out.
Using the Publishing Wizard do the following:
Go to – File then Publish
Select SharePoint Server “ Publish form to a SharePoint Library”
Enter location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services Site:
accept the default in this field from the first published event
Next screen, keep the default or change it, Form Library, Site Content Type or Admin Approved
Next screen, What do you want to do?
Create a new form library
Add new document library name and description
Next screen, Remove all promoted fields not applicable to the new library and add all of the ones you want to see data for.
Click Next and Publish
Come back into the form: If you don’t have buttons added directly to the form to submit or update, add them.
Create a new Action rule on the button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use data connection to the second library created
Create a second new Action rule on the same button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use original data connection to the library
Then you can add another action to close the form or do whatever you need.
Republish the form to both libraries to set the template for both.
File – Publish – SharePoint Server
Select Secondary library from drop down follow the rest of the prompts
Follow step 5a again, select Primary library from drop down, Add back in all of the promoted fields needed for the primary library and follow the prompts.
DOCUMENT YOUR FORM WELL FOR MAINTENANCE
Special considerations, your primary library needs a unique ID to reference in your secondary library.
Your secondary library will need a unique ID that is not related to the primary if you are going to store multiple records for a single primary library reference.
Example: One form, multiple updates.

How do I point to the iTunes file that lists purchase history?

My iTunes library got messed up and I've been able to point back to most of my settings but do I point to the iTunes file that lists purchase history? Perhaps I'm pointing to an old iTunes library by mistake?

also, you could use this script: _*Track Down Purchases*_.
This script will examine each track in a selection of tracks or a selected playlist to determine if it was purchased from the iTunes Store and then copies it to a discrete playlist named for the person who purchased it, eg: "Steve Ballmer's Purchased Music". Recognizes song, video, and audiobook purchases. Purchaser information is gleaned by examining the track's file, which, depending on file location and access speed, can take as long a second per track. Just sayin'.

How to hide book purchases in Itunes for Mac since books are now removed

The instructions posted over and over say to hide a book from family sharing you log into Itunes and select books.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Except Books are no longer in Itunes for Mac. They are in IBooks.
So how do you hide a book on a Yosemite Mac?

Open iBooks - go to the iBook Store - Purchased - Show All - put your cursor over the book and select the x - there will be a dialog to ask if you want to 'hide'.

How to hide remote music from itunes list?

I have a NAS in my network that hosts most of my music albums. I added these to itunes but without copying to my harddrive due to limited space on my HDD. Whenever the NAS is turned off or I am not in my home network iTunes still displays all the titles obviously but whenever I click on it it freezes for 15/20 seconds, then tells me that the connection to th NAS was not possible and asks if I want to search for the new location.
Especially the freezing is verry annoying since there is no way to see if the media location is local or remote.
Is there any way to filter all media and separate between local an remote media with a click of a button, hiding all remote media if I know my nas is not available and by this not showing any serach results in my library form the remote NAS?

Hi there poffel78,
You can use the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" check box found under iTunes > Preferences... > Store to hide or display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How to hide (not disable) one or multiple extension(s) in Add-ons Manager?

I have installed Play Music 1.6 on my computer. However, this extension shows up in the Add-ons Manager of my computer. I don't want anyone to be able to see the description nor disable this extension. My nephews use my computer frequently and I want to make sure they are not going to inappropriate websites.

Note that you still see the extension on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page and that starting in Safe mode will disable it like all other extensions (i.e. starting with Shift pressed is sufficient).

Brand new macbook pro - iTunes does not recognize multiple speakers, my older macs work correctly

New macbook pro with iTunes 10.5.2. OS 10.7.2 Setting up iTunes.
Two speakers on Airport devices.
Switch at bottom right shows all of the speakers above the line, and "multiple speakers" below the line. The two speakers on the airport devices are #3 and #4 on the list above the line. (i.e. ITunes is aware that these airport speakers exist).
I can click on single airport speakers above the line, and ITunes connects.
When I click on "multiple speakers", I get "computer" and the first listing which is a printer hooked up on an airport express link. Also get the separate volume controls etc. The third and fourth entries on the list (i.e. the airport speakers) are not displayed on the multiple speakers list.
So I can connect to one speaker at a time, e.g. the computer, or any other speaker, but I cannot connect to multiple speakers.
I have two other macs and have never had this problem with hooking up to the multiple speakers.
Thanks for any help.

Same here - the problem is - it was working for a few days after I've upgraded iTunes to version 10, and then yesterday - I've rent the movie from Apple Store and once downloaded with iTunes - I wanted to transfer it to my ATV - however - my link to ATV suddently disappeared. What a piece of Crap. I can't describe my frustration - apple products aren't cheap and they always come with some kind of problem - what the **** is going on - it's not just the design people are looking for but also functional products.
Yesterday I've tried to turn of ATV, remove link from iTunes, start ATV make new connection to iTunes, start up iTunes - ATV shows up, code put in and at this stage I thought it finally works - but hey - forget it - I'm trying to put the purchased rental onto ATV and I get an alert saying that my firewall (which I have none) is stopping me from syncing. I then go to the support page which explains how to deal with it - but on some very old version of the system - my system (Snow Leopard) doesn't have those options any more. So as far I I'm concerned I'm screwed unless they fix the problem with their software.
If you guys know of any possible solution to this problem (and I did read many forum topics already - none of which works) - then please let me know.

Airport express disappears from list of multiple speakers

Since upgrading Mac OS X (to 10.5.7) and iTunes (to 8.2) my airport express remote speakers have not been working as reliably: The remote speakers tend to disappear from the "multiple speakers" list when they haven't been used for a few minutes. This is extremely annoying and takes away from the otherwise very smooth operation of iTunes Remote.
The current workaround for this is to quit and restart iTunes. This is NOT a solution since it requires users to go to the computer that iTunes is running on and to intervene manually. The express is hanging off a wireless network set up on an Airport Extreme. Normally, I control iTunes remotely with my iPhone so I can change what's playing and so on.

New observation: the problem seems to depend on whether you have a WDS network. Things are working much better for me since I reconfigured my network. Previously I used the express to extend the network set up on the extreme. After changing things so the express is just hanging off the extreme's wireless network iTunes has not been losing the express or speakers anymore. In fact, I can unplug the speakers, move them to a different part of the house, and often I can just plug them back in and they start playing again. Every now and then I have to stop and start them but I can do it with Remote where before I had to go to the computer that iTunes is playing on.
Eventually I will be wanting to extend the network again to take the laptop outside on the decks since without WDS the network ends pretty close to the house's walls. I hope Apple will fix the original problem by then.

AirTunes over AP Express-Multiple Speakers ERROR

Hello everyone.
Have the latest version of iTunes and an AirPort Express.
Able to play AirTunes if the AP Express Unit is selected at the bottom of iTunes, i.e. only play through the speakers of the amplifier/av unit somewhere else.
If select Multiple Speakers and include 'This Computer', an error message appears:
An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "AirPort Express Name". An unknown error occurred (-3256)
(OK button)
Then iTunes will continue to play on the computer's speakers, but the remote speakers will stay silent.
Under the multiple speakers mode, only 1 computer + 1 remote speakers
Thanks and cheers

I have been plagued with the same problem as most here since installing Leopard. For some reason or another I could not setup AirTunes and view multiple speakers using my G5.
Now I realize that not everyone has a laptop and a desktop but here's what worked for me...
After a hard reset I created a network to airtunes using my PowerBook G4 and Airport Utility. At this point I was able to stream music to airtunes. I then changed the AirTunes settings, via the G4 to join my existing network, my linksys WRT54G router.
Like magic everything is back to normal. I can access iTunes multiple speakers on both my G5 and my G4 PowerBook just like I did when I had 10.4 loaded.
Just my 2 cents...

Airport Express 1084: iTunes stops connecting

Hi Apple Community,
Thanks in advance for any help/assistance anyone can provide. My issue:
I own a really old Airport Express (model 1084). For years, I've only used it to stream music from iTunes on my iMac to speaker in my kitchen. I've never really had an issue with it.
After upgrading to Yosemite (10.1.1) I now have an issue. When I start to stream music to my kitchen speaker via the Airport Express connected to it, it initially works just fine. Then, after roughly a minute, it stops streaming. The status light on the Airport Express remains green. When I go back to my iMac, I see that only my "computer" speaker is checked. When I select "Kitchen Radio" (the name I gave my Airport Express) under the multiple speakers menu, iTunes attempts to re-connect to it, but it never can. Finally it give me an error message:
"An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Kitchen Radio”. An unknown error occurred (-65568)."
At that point, the only way I can get iTunes to re-connect to my Airport Express is to do a hard reset of the Airport Express (sticking a paperclip into the side of it, then plugging it in and waiting for the status light to flash), then set it up all over again. If I do that, it will connect to iTunes and begin to stream music again. But, after a minute, the music stops and the entire cycle repeats itself.
Any ideas on what I can try to do to rectify this issue?
A few notes:
Since my Airport Express is pretty old and I am running Yosemite, I cannot use the latest Airport Utility (6.3.4) to configure it. I have to use a workaround "launcher". I don't think Apple would like me posting what that is, but I believe it's a common one. In short, the workaround allows me to run Airport Utility 5.6.1 and, after I connect my Airport Express to my iMac via an ethernet cable, I can configure and set it up.
I don't use my Airport Express for anything other than streaming music from iTunes.
The wifi network in my house uses WPA/WPA2 Personal security.
The kitchen speaker I'm connecting to is a basic Tivoli radio (that I've used with my Airport Express for years without issue).
Any other info I can provide anyone, please let me know -- happy to do so!

Had the same problem myself, not with BT specifically, but think the same principal applies...
You currently have 2 wireless networks. One for BT and one for Airport, and the mac can only be connected to one wireless network at a time. The way I got things working was to:
Disconnect the mac from whatever wireless network it's connected to
Switch off the router
Connect the router to the airport express using an ethernet cable (should have got one with the router)
Switch the router back on.
The broadband signal is now being broadcast by the airport express, so if you connect to the airport network you can recieve the broadband signal and transmit to the express on the same network.
You can also set your network setting to connect to the airport network automatically. Think it's somewhere in system preferences / network. Can't remember exactly where and i'm not on a mac at the moment

Airtunes Multiple Speakers Don't All Appear With Lion

I have a MacBook with Lion and an older iMac with Snow Leopard. I share my iTunes library and have both computers connected to Apple TV and Airport Express. Airtunes is so that I can play speakers in two different rooms at different levels ( I'm married!) With Snow Leopard when I click the little box with the triangle in the bottom right corner of iTunes it shows three options...my computer, Apple TV, and my Airport Express network, and allows me to adjust volume on both my computer and airtunes (I rarely use Apple TV for music so don't need the separate adjustment for it.) With Lion, the triangle at the bottom corner shows all three selections and has a check mark to show that I am using multiple speakers...my computer and airtunes...but when I click on it it only gives me volume controls for my computer and my Apple TV...nothing for airport express. I need to adjust the sound levels differently in each room, but can't figure out how to make two discrete adjustments.

Same here! I too have a Mini Mac running 10.7, Apple TV and an old Airport Express. If I choose to play music through the Airport Express then choose multiple speakers, it will play through all 3, but I still have no discrete volume control from the mini mac for the Airport Express.
I find it strange as when I use the Remote app on my iPhone or iPad all three volume controls are present!!! What gives indeed??
