I have set up my airport express to play music on my tv.  However, I can only stream music to it via "music" app on my iphone, neither itunes on my laptop, nor the "remote" app display the alternate speaker symbol.  What am I doing wrong?

I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 running Windows Vista.  Itunes is up to date.  I have power cycled the router several times   it is a Surfboard sbg6580.  still no luck with seeing the airplay symbol on itunes, but Isee it on my phone and can stream music via the airport with my phone.  I can see both airports on the airport utility on my laptop.  I'm stumped...

  • Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express

    Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

    Hi mkl1961,
    Happy Holidays!  The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.  
    Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
    What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
    AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
    AirPort base station passwords are "public."
    AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    *A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port.  You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.

  • After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    You should be getting an error message that PS CS5 requires a higher version of ACR with two options "render using Lightroom" or "open anyway". You should choose the first option. If you are not seeing the error message then go to your Lightroom prefrences >General Tab> under Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs", then try the edit in function again. 

  • I can not change the style of a pencil,brush, or pen. The options are greyed out. Anyone know what I am doing wrong???

    Hi,
    Stroke styles are disabled in HTML5 Canvas document type as the target platform doesn't support those. Please check your document tab if it reads '<yourfilename> (Canvas)' then you have created a HTML5 Canvas document.
    If you have created HTML5 document by mistake, then you can copy paste your layers into AS3 document then you can change the stroke style to your desired option.
    Thanks!

  • I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

    I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my settings in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded them but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • I am trying to re-install ITunes on Windows XP.  When I do this, all I get is the "save" or "cancel" message, not "run".  What am I doing wrong?

    Because of  getting the message that I had to uninstall Apple Mobile Support Device and ITunes, in order to get my ITunes to be usable, I did that.  While trying to re-install ITunes, all I get on the message is the choice to "save" or "cancel".  It will not give me the "run" choice.  What am I doing wrong?  This should be fairly simple to reinstall, I thought.
    I am running Windows XP on a desktop computer using Firefox.

    Thanks so much.  This definitely worked.  I'm sorry I did  not think of using IE.  I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

  • When I convert my PDF file to either Word or Excel, the result is garbage and not usable.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel.  The result is garbage and unreadable.  I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution.  What am I doing wrong?

    It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
    created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
    application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
    not produced using Adobe software.
    At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
    re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
    then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it.

  • HT1751 i could not get the file to drag over using windows 7  what am i doing wrong?

    I am trying to back up itunes on an external hard drive.  When I get to the advanced tab (in edit_preferences) I see the file but I am unable to drag it to the external drive.  what am i doing wrong?

    You cannot drag anything from the Advanced tab.
    Go to the location indicated in the Advance tab, that folder is what needs to be moved.

  • TS3899 I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash.  When I press "load more messages," the older messages do not pop up.  What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash.  When I press "load more messages," no additional trash eMails pop up.  What am I doing wrong?

    You're not looking in your trash can.  And if you've emptied your trash can, the message is gone.
    To open your trash, you have inboxes on the top, and accounts below.  Tap the mail from the accounts.  That's where your trash can is.  Tap it.  If the mail is not permanently deleted it will be in the trash.

  • I can't "ping" but I see the computers in the same network while trying RDA server. What I am doing wrong?

    Hi, I would like to know if anyone can help me. It's probably easy but.... The thing is that I have a little network with 5 computers. The network is working perfectly, I mean I can "see" whole the network from all the computers and I can share files and so on. My surprise is that I have tried to make a "ping" between all of them and I didn't recive any answer. I am trying to install the Remote Device Access Server to share a DAQ device in all the network. Oviously when I try to see my DAQ device from the "client" computer appears an error message    <<No system found at adress...>>. Any idea...?
    Thanks.
    d.

    Firewall settings?
    Also, about PING, the PING service may be down

  • My ipod touch 2 no longer recognizes or syncs new playlists from my computer.  But it does takes the playlists from the ipod and syncs to the computer.  This is a reverse process - what am I doing wrong?  It always synced the correct way in the past.

    Why doesn't my ipod touch 2 recognize or sync new playlists from my computer?  It did in the past, but now the syncing process goes in reverse; the
    playlists on the ipod touch 2 sync to my computer!

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
