I play my music via an airport express attached to my hi fi system. Since upgrading to maverick the sound quality is very poor. It sounds very flakey with the volume level going up and down. Tried Ethernet and wireless, but no good
I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

So if I connect my ipad or iPod to an airport express that is being "extended" from the main airport express (the main router which is plug into my audio system), I should still be able to listen to my music, correct?
Yes but be sure to turn on Airplay at whatever Airport connects to the audio.

Also, will the date rate be decreased if they are connected by cat 5e Ethernet cable? I thought signal drop is minimal.
That's a whole different ball game and a much better solution if it's practical to implement. The data rate will not decrease.

Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

My iPod Touch 4th generation is about a year and a half old. Today it got wet and I dried it off, but now it is turning on and off by itself and the volume is going up and down by itself. What do I do?
First dry the iPod.
How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
Then
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can I play the sound form Apple TV via my airport express attached speakers?
I have 3 x AirPort Express based speakers which I use for iTunes music playback. I have today bought an Apple TV, which I would like to use to also play music to my AirPort Expresses. Is that possible if so how? I can't see an option to use the Airport's as an output for the Apple TV audio.
I will be very disappointed if this cannot be done. :-(
Many thanksAnyone interested in resurrecting this feature use:

How do I get my PC to play internet music over my Airport Express?
Can you help please?
I want to play music from the internet over my Airport Express rather than the PC speakers. Playing itunes music works fine.You will need an application like Airfoil for Windows to be able to stream any audio source on your PC to the AirPort Express.

Pages will not load quickly unless I click the X to stop then click the refresh icon and the page starts to open but will not completely open unless I do the same thing again click X then click refresh then it works fine. Until of coarse I click a link and I have to repeat the above process over and over again.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?
I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility? Most of the discussions involve an existing wireless network. I don't have one.
Correct. That's the way to set up the AirPort Express. After connecting your AirPort Express to the router, open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps

Ipod volumes randomly goes up and down
okay in my ipod i randomly have a problem where i'll be listening to a song and the volume will like control itself, i sware im not touching the ipod when its doing this. it goes either up and down for at least 30 secs before it stops. it happened again today for about the fifth time and was wondering why its doing this.
I have this problem as well. Just got the iPod video on Thursday, worked for a day, then started doing the volume jumping thing. Then I tried playing the Superman clip from iTunes Store, and it froze it. I tried turning it off, to no avail. Then I tried doing the reset. No luck. I tried restoring on the computer. Locked up my computer hardcore.
This is my 2nd person iPod, 5th in the family. first to have this sort of issues.
It's going back, for an exchange. This one's buggy. -
Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"? No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...
Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests. -
Stuck in restart mode -- Express Lane advised that I use the Install Disc to fix a problem. I inserted the disc, pressed C as advised and restarted, nothing comes up, the computer just goes on and off - any advise on starting the laptop and getting the disc out?
You insert the disk and restart while holding down the 'c' key until you see the apple and spinning cog. Is that precisely what you did?

Have most recent macbook pro connected to thunderbolt via thunderbolt cable. Occasionally when I close my laptop the thunderbolt display goes black and does not come back on---even in response to keyboard. Help
Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
