ITunes 10 - no external speakers on AirportExpress (Win7/64bit)

Since my update from iTunes 9 to iTunes 10 my AirPortExpress can't connect to the external speakers (Hifi-System)
unknown error(-15000)
http://yfrog.com/e9itunj
With iTunes 9 everything works fine. The only thing I changed was the iTunes update.
Win7 ultimate 64 Bit
iTunes 10.0.1.22
AirPortExpress with Firmware 7.4.2

O.K. - I just got off the phone with Apple. For all you airport express users out there and Itunes 10.
The airport express needs to be reset. Remember the fun we had setting it up - well here we go again.
For those of you who do everything remotely like me, computer (macbookpro) here, airport express there (plugged into kitchen speakers on top of cabinets), internet router/wireless there ....
1. Unplug the airport express and your computer.
2. Go to where your wireless router is and sit near it.
3. Plug your computer - with wired plug into an outlet [not sure if necessary but I did it this way, powered up]
4. Replug in your airport express near the computer/router as well.
5. Press (w/pen or paperclip) the little reset button on the bottom of the AirPort and HOLD UNTIL THE LIGHT FLASHES GOLD and then let go.
6. go into your Utility folder in Finder and open the Airport Express utility
7. it will see it then and you need to go through the same process as you did when setting it up in the first place. Naming it, blah, blah blah.
I did all of this and confirmed that my speakers worked! I did suggest to the guy, John, that Apple needs to post something so every frustrated user could fix this problem.
Best of luck all

ITunes won't connect to store on Win7 64bit and iTunes 10.6.7.1 but connects fine on iPhone 4

Hi,
I am unable to connect to the store on iTunes 10.6.7.1 on Win7 64 bit. From my iPhone I can connect to the store. Any thoughts?

Could you walk us through what happens (when you attempt to connect to the store on the PC) in some more detail, please?

ITunes (10.3.1) wont upgrade on Win7 64bit

iTunes installer completes the download and runs through the entire install and then fails. I have tried manually installing with the same result. Where I can get additional details on the failure? is there a log file I can reviewto get more details on how to get the upgrade to work. There is no error code with the failure. It just says "Error occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > down only and install manually."
Any ideas on how to resolve would be much appreciated.

require me to rebuild my itunes liabray?
No, under normal circumstances it doesn't touch your content files. (Library and preference files may be updated, but there's no difference between that and an update using ASU.) It's how I always updated prior to ASU being released with iTunes version 7.0.0.70. Periodically, I still update by that method.
That being said, it's still always a good idea to have a backup of your content and library files in case of disasters.

Various Errors in connection to iTunes on my new HP Laptop with Win7 64bit

I tried to connect my iPhone 3G 16GB with my new HP Pavilion dv7 (intel core i7) Laptop with Windows 7 64 Bit and it fails...
While iTunes synch appears the first error message:
"iTunes was not possible to connect with this iPhone because of an unknown Error. (0xE8000065)"
on the next try i had an other error message:
"It was not possible to synch this iPhone because of an internal device error"
After that the capacity bar below in iTunes says that my iPhone only has 4 GB memory...
The next try ends with other message:
"Not was possible to synch this iPhone. The connection to this device was aborted because of a timeout."
--> then I was trying to synchronize the iphone with my old pc --> also fails.
after that my iPhone was destroyed, every backup that I had was not possible to restore. The last posibility was to restore my iPhone back to factory settings on my old PC and install all the applications again. (all app settings lost...)
after that the iPhone was working correct.
What can be the problem here? I have uninstalled all of the itunes and apple stuff on my laptop to install it again, but this also doesn't help.
Anyone can help me?

Issues such as this may have a number of different causes. The first error (0xE) has an Apple support document to view http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
The timeout error could be caused by a conflict between the security and firewall software you are using and blocking connections, you can look at this document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
When you say that you uninstalled and installed again, did you follow all of the steps in this Apple document? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 You need to make sure that you follow all of the steps.
See if any of these in combination can assist you.

ITunes error message - missing iTunes64.msi on win7 64bit

I tried to update iTunes to the newest version - after downloading I receive the following error message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below."
The path in the box is 'C:\Users\DebbieCleaveley\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\'
Then I get "The path 'C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.2.1.1\iTunes64.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes"
I've hunted for a solution and found that back in 2008 this error seemed to be quite common and the solution was a Microsoft program called "MS Installer Cleanup Utility" which is no longer available.
I then tried uninstalling iTunes all together, to no avail. I get the same error. "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below.
So I cannot delete the old one, find the missing folder or do anything .... please help !

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Updated iTunes won't connect to external speakers

I updated iTunes and now when I initially open it on my computer it won't locate my external speakers connected via Airport Express. I have made no other changes to my set up, computer, speakers, etc. I have to restart my computer and then the second time i open iTunes, it finds my speakers. This is a big pain and makes no sense.

I have almost the same problem - see my post earlier today at 7:48 am. When I had just Airport Express I could play iTunes to the remote speakers through AX. When I created a wireless network with Airport Extreme, then added the Airport Express to the wireless network as a client, now I can only play iTunes to either the computer speakers OR the remote speakers through airport express, however when I try to play to both (by selecting multiple speakers in the drop down box in iTunes) I get the exact same error message you get.
I thought it was something I had done wrong with the setup, but now that I know there's someone else out there with the same problem there must be some glitch with Airport Express when you add it to an exisiting network. I have tried resetting both my Airport Express and Airport Extreme, recreating the network, etc., but the same error message keeps coming back.
Has anyone out there done this successfully???

I can't hear iTunes music or internet radio but internal and external speakers are definitely working. Is there a key stroke I have set or some other, maybe Yosemite, issue?

I have checked my internal speakers on an iMac and also the external speakers - all working. When play music in iTunes the sound bar moves but no sound is heard. Same problem if I want to listen to the radio via internet. Has anyone a suggestion. Is it a Yosemite issue - I have had others involving printers. thanks

like davis says then even though I have connected headset and external speakers to my imac then at boot up the boot sound comes out of the imac speaker
but once booted into OS X all audio is played out of the headset and ext speakers and the imac speakers are silent as the grave

Check your firewall?
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
Also, under Advanced, make sure something didn't check "block UDP"

No sound from external speakers in win7 partition

hi all,
apologies if this is a common problem - but i couldn't find any info specific to it on the web.
i installed windows 7 in 64bit w/ bootcamp on my macbook pro and so far everything has been going great .. other than that i can't get any sound out of my external speakers.
i have the latest cirrus audio drivers and i also have the realtek drivers that were recommended. the built in speakers work fine but, as we know, they're not great.
when i plug my external speakers in, for some reason, the control panel thinks that they are headphones. as far as i know there are no additional drivers required for the speakers. they are speedlink gravity nx 2.1 speakers if that's relevant.
thanks in advance,
nick

Hi,
Your speakers are active and require 1.77v peak to peak at the input to produce sound, that is less than headphones need so if your Windows installation sees them as headphones it will not stop them from producing sound, so:
Get some headphones and plug them in, if there is no sound through them you can assume the port is outputting nothing.
Have you installed the BootCamp drivers from the CD?

How to listen to itunes through external speakers

I have Intempo IDS ipod speakers and want to know how to plug them into my laptop so i can listen to my itunes playlist through the speakers... I have read that there should be a box in the bottom right of the screen to select speakers but I do not have this and I do have the look for speakers box ticked in my preferences.
Any suggestions? what needs to be plugged in where?
any help would be much appreciated
Ela.

I have read that there should be a box in the bottom right of the screen to select speakers but I do not have this and I do have the look for speakers box ticked in my preferences.
That is only for speakers connect to an Airport Express wireless system. There is no setting in iTunes to play through speakers connected to your computer. All you should have to do is plug them into your laptop's audio/headphone output.

Playing itunes with external speakers

Caused error -3256 when attempting to connect to external speakers.

I'm trying to connect to my Airport express using a PC running Windows XP home Edition SP 3 with iTunes 8.0.2 and getting the following error
caused error -3256 when attempting to connect to external speakers.
I've searched on teh internet and everything seems to relate to the Mac OS.
Anyone running XP had similar issues?
My AirportExpress is running FM 6.3
Thanks
Marcus

After reading this discussion thread, I've seemed to have solved the problem for myself. I'm using the Trend Micro PC-Cillin Firewall. I disabled it and the airtunes worked. So, I went into the firewall settings. There's the ability to edit the profile and add to an exceptions list. You select the executable program, select incoming or outgoing, I accepted the other default settings and it worked.

External speakers with built in speakers?

Is there a way to have audio come out through both built in speakers and external speakers?

The only way that comes to my mind is in the latest versions of iTunes using Airtunes, and this obviously applies only to sound comin from iTunes.
When using a pair of external speakers connected to the AirportExpress, you click on both "Computer" and "Airport" in iTunes output menu (next to the buttons for Equalizer, Full screen, eject). Now everything that goes through iTunes will be heard on the computer and on the external speakers.
This does not work with any other source of sound in your computer (quicktime, DVD player, VLC, etcétera), only with iTunes.

ITunes no longer keeps speakers running on headphone jack

iTunes no longer keeps my external speakers running when connected by audio cable to the headphones jack. After 1:45 min:sec, my Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 speakers power down when connected to my computer playing iTunes.
The speakers do not power down for audio generated from other sources on my computer. When I play a video or audio file through Safari or another browser, the speakers work fine. When I listen to an audio file by selecting it in the Finder using Apple-Y ("quick-view"), the speakers run continuously until the end of the track without powering down. When I use the speakers configured the same way with other software (such as Skype), they work fine.
The speakers do not power down for audio generated from other DEVICES. When I plug the speaker cable into the headphone jack of either my iPhone 3Gs or my partner's mp3 player and play audio, the speakers work continuously.
I've looked at trouble-shooting for iTunes and found nothing on the Apple site or the web or in the iTunes preferences to keeping wire external speakers live during iTunes playback. I've tried having the speakers connected to a power source or running on batteries but the problem is the same. I've reset the speaker device with no change. I've reinstalled iTunes, no change. The Apple Store genius bar cleared all caches and restarted, no change. They reinstalled the computer system, but found no change.

Hi Dexterdawg
Can you direct me to the thread as I can not sort out the same problem on my iMac
Thanks
