Hi Tom,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I experience no problems accessing my external speakers via iTunes/Airport Express. With that said:
- have you tried resetting your Airport Express unit using the AirPort Admin Utility application in your Utility folder?
- did you "repair permissions" via disk utility in your Utility folder after the 7.0.1 update.
- confirming you updated Quicktime to 7.1.3.
- confirming too there was no installation problem with iTunes 7, QT, or 7.0.1
One other possibility is to move to the desktop your iTunes preference file (com.apple.itunes.plist) and restart iTunes.

Updated to itunes 9: now Airtunes won't connect,

I unfortunately do not recall the last version of itunes I had.... it wasn't very old though.
The only reason I updated to 9 last night was the itunes store forced me to in order to get a new episode. Anyways...
after the update, upon starting iTunes, i get this dialogue:
"The software required for communication with this ipod is not installed correctly...."
Then it asks me if I want it to repair. I say yes and it supposedly repairs it. If I restart itunes, it will say this error every single time.
I also cannot connect to my Airpor Express as a speaker output. it is listed, and when I select it, it brings up the 'connecting' dialogue which goes on FOREVER until I cancel it. ***?!?
I've uninstalled itunes, apple application support AND apple mobile device support and reinstalled itunes. I've unplugged the airport express; re-configured it using the Airport utility, updated the firmware and still I have both of these problems after all this.
WHY OH WHY did itunes make my update to download new store episodes...
Can anybody help me diagnose this?
Thanks
Ryan

Actually it's quite helpful... the more people who confirm there is an issue the better... maybe apple will take it more seriously.
I called apple support yesterday and they tried to pin the issue on anything/everything related to my setup, didn't even give consideration to the fact there might be an itunes 9 bug. To be fair they are probably just going through all the steps first....
They suggested I disable the wireless on my Linksys WT45G since I'm only using it for wired connections, which I did to no avail. My setup goes ATT DSL modem > Linksys WT45G (PC wired to this) > Airport Extreme Base > Airport Express, only the Express is wireless (using the 3 ports on the extreme for other stuff).
They asked me to try plugging the extreme and airport in a different room as if this is somehow wireless interference. Nevermind the fact I'm currently on my wife's laptop with 8.2.1 and I can connect to the Airport Express with absolutely no problem.
Going to call them back and be adamant that this is in no way an issue with my setup, its an issue with itunes 9!
Out of curiosity, is anybody having this issue connecting their Express with ethernet instead of wireless? That's about the only thing I haven't tried yet but will today... but like I said I'm already using all 3 wired ports on the extreme.

Airtunes won't play multiple speakers on Leopard 10.5.1

Airtunes won't play multiple speakers on Leopard 10.5.1
Everything was fine until Software Update to Leopard 10.5.1 last week.
Works great on other Tiger-Macs but not on new Leopard-Macbook 2.2
While attempting itunes launch with airtunes - Message window says:
An error occurred while connecting to the remote speakers "Airtunes". Unknown error (-3256)
Will play on computer speakers, or airtunes speakers but not both.
Anyone experiencing similar??

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...

ITunes 7 for Windows Vista: AirTunes won't connect to remote speakers

HELP!!
Everything was working fine, until 2 weeks ago, when suddenly, my airtunes wouldn't connect to my remote speakers! The little button at the bottom of itunes, which gives you the option of listening to music through your computer or the base station no longer appears! My internet connection is fine however. Has anyone else encountered this problem with Vista and do have a solution??
Chris

Make sure that your Airport Express is still working: should show a green light.
Even if it is green, do this:
Unplug (30 seconds) and plug your Airport Express. Wait until it flashes green. You might have to reboot your computer.
Still not working?
In iTunes ->Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced->Look for Remote Speakers (this should be checked).
You should also check in the Airport Admin Utility, that you have "Enable Airtunes over this Base Station" checked in the "Music" tab. Update.
Try after reboot.
You might also consider a repair of iTunes.
In Vista ->Start ->Control Panel-> Programs ->Uninstall a Program ->iTunes ->(right click mouse) -> Choose "Repair" option.

My iTunes library in iCloud won't connect to my computer

Went to open iTunes this morning and all my music stored in iCloud won't sync up with my computer so I can't listen to my music. When I open iTunes, the iCloud symbol has a little lightning bolt in it and then just shows that it is trying to connect but won't. All my music is faded out in gray so I cannot play any of it. Anybody else having this problem?

In the menu bar, under Store, see if it says "Turn Off iTunes Match." Mine did, I selected it and: boom! I connected to icloud and could either play or download all my songs. Now, it says "Turn On iTunes Match." Hope this helps!

Itunes 10 loaded but won't connect to internet!

I have just installed the Latest iTunes, and luckily it still picked up all of my music from previous itunes. But now when I import a CD it will not pick up the CD data i.e artist title etc. I am signed in here so internet is working, but when I sign in to the store it says :
*Itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network connect timed out*. Make sure your network settings are correct and you network connection is active, then try again.
Now I use Mozilla Firefox, have Avast and McAfee running. I have tried to sign in by disabling Avast, but that still didn't work.
Can anyone help, has it happened to anyone else??!?!?
Looking forward to all of your advice
Donna

No, there's no firewall running.

ITunes 9.2.1 won't connect to store any longer?

A certain expensive, work-necessary software that I use is keeping me from upgrading my laptop past OS 10.4.11 — just can't spend an extra $1000 right now for a work thing! Does this really mean that now I can't connect to the iTunes Store any longer, or even download my subscription TV shows (my Mad Men is waiting from last Sunday!). Ever since the iTunes 10 release, all I get is the error message, "iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes store at this time." For days.
Really? I must be something wrong, no?

Have exactly the same issue, old laptop stolen, bought new laptop,
imported account from time machine, library is invisible, at the botom of each section it tells you the number of films, tracks pod csts etc but there is no content.
If you look in the iTunes folder content is there... however there seems to be no upgrade file so maybe the iTunes library was not upgraded and iTUnes thinks it was....

My iTunes on my PC won't connect to the iTunes store

When I try to sync my Ipad with my PC, a window pops up that says my computer is no longer authorized and if I don't authorize it then all my apps will be deleted. In order to authorize my computer, the iTunes needs to connect with the iTunes store.I tried to authorize it but my iTunes WILL NOT connect to the iTunes store. I've tried for hours and on various days, and it's not an internet connection problem. I figured maybe I needed to update my iTunes but in order to check for updates in the first place I have to connect to the iTunes store. What shall I do?

Hi DustinRCannon,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Try the following steps for issues connecting to the iTunes Store from your PC. I'm including the entire article below as I don't know what version of Windows you are working with.

Everytime I put my Apple ID into iTunes, it says it won't connect. What will fix this?

When I put my Apple ID into iTunes to sign in, it says it cannot connect to the store. I have tried at various times, and always get the same message. What can fix this, because it doesn't seem to ever want to connect.

Restart the computer/idevice or iTunes.

AirPort Express connected, but AirTunes doesn't connect to speakers

Hi all,
I purchased AirPort Express to get my iTunes sounds onto my stereo.
My WIN7 PC is wired to a Netgear DG834 wireless router. I setup wireless connection between Router and APExpress - light on device is green. So far so good.
iTunes shows my living room speakers and my PC speakers. When I select the living room speaker, it starts to search but after a while stops it without getting connection.
Am I too stupid? Any idea getting this running are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Markus

Ok, let's double-check your AX's settings for iTunes streaming:
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
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 changes:
AirPort > Base Station
o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing Netgear's wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

New itunes 11.1 won't connect to iphone 4s ios6.

Just updated itunes and now it won't connect to my iphone 4s with ios 6. Gets an error that says "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." Neither reconnecting or trying again later works. Have also rebooted my iphone. I need to do a sync and backup before loading IOS 7 and probably buying an iphone 5S. Anyone got any ideas?
My desktop OS is Windows 7 patched up to date. 64-bit.

Yup, I finally wised up and rebooted my desktop. That solved the problem.
Thanks for your reply.

IPOD won't connect to Windows or show up in itunes...HELP

Have my daughter's 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod here. When you plug it into the computer with the cord, it will turn on, and charge. However I get a balloon come up that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not regognize it. For assistance in solving this issue click this message." I clicked the message. It shows the Ipod in Device Manager as an "unknown device" and when you try to update the driver, it says there are no better drivers to install than the one currently installed. I have tried the 5 R's step by step several times, and that does not work. I can not restore it because it does not show up in itunes. I have tried it on other computers and it does the same thing. It plays the music she has on it, works fine, but we can not get it to connect to either computer. Her friend's Ipods connect to both our computers fine, and will download songs etc. I also have tried putting it into disc mode to see if it would go into itunes so we can restore it. Same message comes up when you have it in disc mode. I have also tried the "tap on the palm" suggestion, which made no difference at all. It just won't connect. I do have the newest version of itunes downloaded and installed.
I am at my wits end with this thing! PLEASE help me get this thing to connect.
Thanks!
