Itunes 7 and 7.1 speakers

I recently upgraded to itunes 7 and now my itunes playback don't work correctly with my 7.1 creative speakers..playback only comes through the front speakers..the speakers are working because with all other programs (real player, windows media) the songs playback through all the speakers. Anybody with any idea how to help?

I found an old thread dating back a few years, gave it a try, and it worked! Here it is...

Hi B:
Jason of Creative Labs told me to turn on the CMSS feature in the "EAX Console." It worked!
Here's the URL --

Additionally I had to click "Bass Redirection" in "Creative Speaker Settings, Bass Management" in order to get output from the SubWoofer.
Hope this helps anyone else who has similar problems.

I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes. Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers. When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

Express, iTunes and Multiple Speakers

I posted this on the iTunes forum, but thought maybe it goes here. I cannot get itunes to play music to both my AX units. Airtunes works just fine in normal play. I can switch between each AX network. And the "multiple speakers" option shows up when I switch between the AX units. And I have them both updated to the latest firmware (6.3), and the latest version of iTunes. Still, no matter which AX network I pick, it will not let me play music to the other one. I pick AX1 and it lets me play AX 1 and the computer, but not AX2. If I switch over to AX2, I can play AX 2 and the Computer. But I can't get music to all three -- Computer, AX1, AX2. Interestingly, the multiple speakers window shows all three -- just won't send the music to all three at one. NOTE: My Airport Management Utility indicates that both of the AX units post the same IP address. Is that right? Is that the problem? -- david c

I think I solved it. Not sure, but think so. Checked again with Apple. Dunno whythe first one didn't point this out. Says you can broadcast a single iTunes transmission across two AX units ONLY configuring the second one as "bridge" to the first. What I was trying to do was transmit to two AX units each set up as separate networks. I guess it makes sense. The new tech says I keep the first AX network as is, but go into and re-set the second one using the SetupAssistant. Haven't done it yet, but he says I'll be asked if I want the new to "join" the first one. Think I'll try it. Only issue will be if the resulting sound loses any quality that way. If it works, it's what I wanted....sending iTunes to two different stereo systems (great room and patio deck) at the same time.

Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

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

Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Can't connect itunes to my remote speakers thru airport express

After having updated the latest itunes 7.3 my itunes does not recognize anymore my remote speakers and does not connect to them.
Have resetted my airport, to no avail. still, itunes does not recognize it.
please advise what to do as it is very annoying, when you make updates that your old configuration stops working.
many thanks
marwan

I had the same problem. It used to work without any problems but then stopped for no apparent reason. I tried resetting and hard-resetting the Airport Express (AX) many times, but no success. Plus the Airport Utility would never show the Airport Express once I configured it to join the exisiting wireless network (in my case a Airport Extreme).
Anyway finally this worked for me:
1) Hard-resetting the AX
2) Start Airport Utility and find the AX. But instead of going throught the guided steps to set it up, double click on the AX symbol and to set it up manually. Yo will see 5 icons in the meny bar - Airport, Internet, Music, Printers, Advanced.
- Airport --> Base Station: In give it any name and password.
- Airport --> Wireless. Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network. Select it below and the appropripate security settings and password.
- Music --> Enable AirTunes. Leave the rest alone.
3) Click Update. Close the window and wait until the AX restarted. (solid green light)
4) Let the AirPort Utility rescan the network.
5) Restart your wireless base station/router (as I said, in my case Airport Extreme. If you have another base station you may have to do it manually)
6) Start iTunes and presto you will see the remote speakers
7) Let AirPort Utility rescan the network. Presto, you see both the AX and the base station.
My setup: MacBook OS 10.4.10, Airport Extreme and Express, HP with WinXP Pro. Can also stream music form iTunes on the HP.

Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

ITunes show Airport Express Speakers but will not allow me to choose them

Hi, I just installed and updated my 802.11g airport express. When I open iTunes (version 9- just updated today), I am able to see the speaker selector option on the bottom right of the screen. When I open it, the choice for my laptop speakers and airport speakers both appear; however, only the laptop speakers can be chosen. I am unable to choose the airport speakers at all. I have downloaded all of the latest firmware/software I can think of for both iTunes and the airport express. Please help!!!

After months of having this problem (and a few unsuccessful hours at the Genius Bar), I finally found a fix.
In AirPort Utility, I updated the firmware.
I redid a bunch of other settings, too. Updated to latest iTunes (9), reset my preferences in Security (via Control Panel) and reset the remote speaker option through iTunes (preferences, advanced). But, it was the firmware update that finally got it to work. Sorry I can't be more specific - I'm not a computer buff. Good luck!
Dang, I hate updates.

I downloaded a TV Show from ITunes and received audio only. No picture. What happened? I expected visual. dj, I downloaded a TV Show from ITunes and received audio only. No picture. What happened? I expected visual. dj

I downloaded a TV Show 'The Smothers Brothers" from ITunes and received only the audio. No video was downloaded. Would like to watch the shows either on my computer or preferably my TV. Help. dft

I just corrected my problem. After connecting to the TV, go to System Preferences, Sound, and select the HDMI rather than Internal Speakers.

ITunes and Airport Admin do not see my Airport Express

I have configured my Airport Express to join my existing WLAN using the Airport Assistant. It restarted but there is no speaker menu in iTunes.
Fine - tried the Airport Admin but it is not shown there.
I can locate it using the Others menu and enter the IP-Addr I found on my WLAN (AVM Fritz Box 3030) base station and I can open and configure the AE.
I activated Airtunes on the Music page but still no menu, no sound.
Maybe two separate problems, maybe not.
Any ideas ?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you scooter - I gave this another try...
* Reset the AE (holding the reset button for 5 secs until the light starts to flash green and yellow).
* Wait three minutes (airport is now blinking amber)
* Start airport assistent.
* Configure new Airport Base Station
* Confirm that the proposed station is the correct one.
* Choose to enter an existing network, identify my network
* Enter the network password and the name of the airport
* check my entries
* Airport is configured. Restarts. Amber, Amber blinking, Green.
* Check my DHCP server - Airport has register, has received an IP address
Fine.
* Start iTunes (6.0.5) - no speakers.
* Check iTunes preferences - search airtunes speakers is checked.
* Start System Prefs
* Check sharing, other options, block UDP is not checked.
* Start airport admin
* Initial scan and rescan do not find the station. Maybe they are using the hard coded IP addresses 10.0.1.1 that the "Others" menu shows and my network is a 192. network (a Class A network sounded a little bit to big for my home installation)

Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
Custom Windows XP Pro Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.
(I'm just posting this so that Apple will do something about it)

No speaker sound with itunes and media

The speakers on iphone 4S work fine for all activities with the exception of itunes and video. Speaker phone works; notification works; ringer works. Everything works fine with the earplugs and bluetooth and volume can be adjusted. Speaker works just fine with calls, recordings etc. Just not with music and video apps. Any thoughts?

Videos on ITunes play in two speakers instead of 5.1 surround

Hi,
Strange problem. My ITunes music plays just fine in 5.1 surround sound but the videos I purchased from Apple play in stereo (Left and right speakers)in the same Itunes. I have the last version of ITunes and Quictime.
Any ideas what happen? Thanks
TheBell

The three video's I tried at http://www.ted.com/ worked for me in Firefox 5.0, and used the Flash Player.
Do you have the Flash Player installed '''for Firefox'''? IE uses a different version of Flash - ActiveX than Firefox uses - Plugin, so on Windows PC's you need both versions installed and they appear in the Windows Control Panel as separate versions Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin. Which ever browser you use to download Flash, Adobe will the supply the version for that browser.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
