ITunes 7 Can't Access AirTunes with Airport Express

After upgrading to iTunes 7 I can't no longer play music through my Airport Express. It worked fine in iTunes 6. It shows up in the pull-down menu, but I can't select it.
On another machine that already had my APE selected, I now get a message "None of the selected remote speakers could be found on your network. Please configure your network settings and AirTunes configuration..."
Any ideas??

You have to make sure IPv6 is turned on in the Network System Preference panel. System Preferences -> Network -> Airport -> TCP/IP -> Configure IPv6 -> Automatically.

  • Airtunes with Airport Express Base Station stopped working for no reason

    Hello,
    I used to play music through AirTunes with no problem. I have an Airport Express Base Station and I'm connected to it with an Airport Extreme Card built-in my iBook G4. When I came home after day at work (with the iBook, which is connected in there to wireless access point but not Apple), Airtunes is not working. Also I can not see my (not closed network) Base Station in Airport Admin Utility, internet connection is still working fine. If I connect to the Base Station by pressing button Other, manually type IP of Base Station I can connect to it and administrate it. Airtunes is allowed there, in iTunes too but it is just not working, I don't know about anything that could has been changed. I think nothing has. AppleTalk is runnig only on Airport card. Thank anyone for any advice. I tried to update firmware in the Base Station today and no software update is available.
    I created log /var/log/all.log (.), when I reconnect to the network I can see this there:

    Please perform a "factory default" reset on your AirPort Express. Note you may need to do this a few times to make sure it "sticks." Once completed successfully, the status light should flash amber NOT green.
    This type of reset will reconfigure the Express to its factory settings. That is, it will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name (aka SSID) of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Can your Win7 computer find and connect to this network now? If it can, then do so and the AirPort Utility on the PC should now be able to find the Express.

  • Airtunes with Airport Express - web with netgear DG834G?

    i have a netgear DG834G router which i use to connect to the web (and if you're reading this is it is working . I want my Airport Express to play airtunes, whilst i browse the web. I cannot even get airport Express to join the netgear network (in fact the netgear network doesn't even appear in the airport admin utility list). Any one able to shed some light on what appears to be a simle problem?

    Ok, let's double-check your AX's settings ...
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing Netgear wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Can I do this with airport express?

    We have a LAN (3 pc's wired connected) and a wireless router for serving an iphone and a laptop (wireless) This router (not an Apple router) is also an ADSL modem and is wired connected to our LAN providing internet.
    We have another computer with only ethernet port (not wireless) in another room. Is it possible to connect this pc to an airport express via ethernet, and make it join our network? How we can call this? Client mode, bridge mode, extend our wireless network?
    OR we must have an apple airport extreme to do this (as the main router?)

    The wireless usb adapter, can connect directly to the main wireless router...
    Yes, that's correct. You could always use the old Express for streaming AirTunes if you wanted, or connect a printer to the USB port to allow multiple devices to use the same printer over the network.
    If you travel regularly, and the hotel has an available ethernet port, you can setup your own wireless network in the room and usually connect multiple devices.
    Finally, if you don't want the Express, I would be happy to take it off your hands

  • Can't get started with Airport Express;  WPA2 problem?

    Howdy,
    I purchased an airport express about a month ago and am unable to get it set up, at all. My goal is what the setup guide calls "Using AirPort Express on an existing wireless network and stream music to powered speakers" (pg. 15 for those who have the book). The failure is that Airport Admin Utility doesn't recognize my third party wireless network.
    My wireless hub is a linksys wireless-G cable gateway, and has been in use with multiple computers in the current setup for a couple years. It is setup with WPA2 personal, TKIP+AES encryption, and MAC access list enabled. SSID broadcast is currently enabled.
    I am running OSX10.4.11 on the computer that I am using to attempt to configure this.
    Following the instructions for "Connecting to an Existing Wireless Network" (pg 25), I am attempting to use Airport Utility. But there is no such program on my computer, so I am assuming that Airport Admin Utility is what the book refers to as Airport Utility. Airport Admin Utility presents a "window titled Select Base Station" but lists no base stations. I click "Other", provide the IP address and password, hit OK, and ... nothing happens. After 20 seconds the beachball appears, and after another 20 seconds it says "The airport admin utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station".
    The IP address I used is the one that I enter into the web browser to access the linksys box (no secret here, 192.168.0.1). The password is the one used to access those settings (e.g., the linksys default is "admin", but I changed it). I know the IP address and password are correct, but I do not know if this is the IP address and password the program is asking for. I don't even know if I am running the correct program!
    Thanks for any help,
    Bob H

    Actually, I have it working now.
    What I did after posting my last message was I connected the AE to my wireless hub, via ethernet cable. Then Airport Utility was able to find it, initialize it, and load new firmware into it ("it" being the AE). During initialization stage I told it it would be connecting wirelessly to an existing wireless network, and I gave it the network name, security options and password.
    Then I told the wireless hub to allow this device (MAC address = Airport ID), disconnected the ethernet cable, power-cycled the wireless hub, and relaunched Airport Utility. It saw the AE, so I quit that. Then I launched iTunes and selected my AE as the speakers. It told me I needed to enable iTunes Music Sharing in my firewall. After doing that, iTunes is now playing through my external speakers. Exactly what I want.
    Now I just need to go set this up on my laptop, with the AE and speakers on the other side of the house where I want 'em.
    As a recap, I think I basically had two problems, both related to documentation. First, the program that the Setup Guide tells me to use wasn't in my Tiger applications folder, and I was fooled by a program with a similar name (in the past I have seen such name changes between what the setup guide said I should use and what I really needed to use). Second, it wasn't clear to me that, regardless of how I wanted to configure things for usage, I needed to establish a valid wired connection to the AE to initialize it. I think that could be made clearer in the book.
    Thanks for everyone's help.

  • Can't extend network with Airport Express on Sky Broadband

    Hello,
    I'm having some difficulty that's driving me bananas!
    I've recently moved house and got Sky Broadband. They sent me their Sagemcom router and the setup was easy. I thought I'd do what I always do. I'll connect my Time Machine to it via ethernet, and connect via Time Machine's network. Then I have two Airport Expresses in the house to extend the network and use Airplay etc.
    I can set up the Expresses with no problem, everything talks to everything without a problem and the lights are all green  but the network isn't getting extended with either of them. I refuse to believe they're both broken as I also borrowed an Express form my Dad's house (which extend the network without a problem) and it doesn't work with me.
    Extend my network is checked in the Manual Setup in Airport Utility but for the life of me I can't get my network extended.
    I have done tests where I replaced Time Machine and made one of the Expresses the main base station and it throws signal out easily like that but I can't extend that network with the second Express.
    I followed this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/13171691?messageID=13171691 and have tried a few things to no avail. Currently I have configured an old Airport Extreme (just to keep testing) which works great and have set up an Express wirelessly. All lights are green and the settings seem to all be correct. I turn wifi off on my computer and connect to my computer from the Express using ethernet and nothing. Should I get a connection like this?
    Is it Sky? I have read in a few places that Sky have disabled the ability to extend their network but I'm not eve using the signal from their box.
    Any ideas or thoughts will be gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance.

    OK so I've been tying it out but unfortunately to no success. Everything looks fine and all lights are green but the network isn't getting extended - just as before.
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Time Capsule network
    Check Mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
    I don't have an option to extend a network, only to join: http://flic.kr/p/a222kR
    I do get the option though if I use the guided setup, even though it doesn't work: http://flic.kr/p/a24TQQ
    I did try one other thing though. I set up the Time Capsule and it works great. Then I tried instead, to use my Airport Extreme to extend the network. The Extreme did give me an option to extend the network in the drop down menu and a checkbox to Allow Wireless Clients, unlike the Express. I do believe that this is now working. I now need to find the best place to put it to extend the range.
    My Expresses are only 802.11g so they're pretty old but as I said, it worked at my Dad's house but not here. Does it make a difference that the Airport Base Station at my Dad's house is an older UFO shaped Snow Airport? I'm becoming suspicious that seeing as I've only ever lived in small houses and apartments that maybe they never worked?? I've recently moved into a more spacious house so could this be the problem?
    One final test using iStumbler showed that it could see Apple Network XXXXxX until I configured it. Once it was configured it disappeared from iStumbler. The Airport ID number had gone from the list.
    Do I need newer n compatible Airport Expresses then? So many questions pop up now... When I turned my Express into the base station (which only throws out a g network) then surely I should be able to extend to the next Express (which is also g only)? It still didn't work. The Express are on version 6.3 by the way. Having the Extreme extend the network is a good start but I also need the others to work too. Do you think I'm correct in my assumption?
    How about WDS, could that work? Will WDS slow the network considerably?
    Sorry if this message is rather long and garbled and again, thanks for your interest and advice.

  • HT204057 How can I back up with AirPort Express? I have a flash memory.

    I want to back up my Mental case 2  information. How can I do it with my AirPort Express?

    Sorry, but the USB port on the AirPort Express does not support storage devices, and thus, cannot be used as a destination for backups. For Apple products you would need to use either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule for this purpose.

  • D-link router DIR-615, Can't access internet with Airport Wireless 802.11B

    It is a known issue with many Dlink routers that with the router wireless settings on "802.11 B,G,N" it will NOT work with your G3/ some G4 wireless cards that ONLY support 802.11B.
    Enter 192.168.0.1 in your address bar to access your Dlink router. Go to settngs....wireless settings...
    Go to your router settings and select "802.11B" ONLY or "802.11 B and G". This will solve the problem. D-link is aware.
    I was told they will be coming out with updated firmware to correct the issue.

    It's almost better to have a 2nd router for the older B cards anyway because running in multi mode with the 615, it's not a dual band device, so you won't see any speed benefits in G or N. better to run B/G anyway.

  • Can AppleTV be used with and like Airtunes and Airport Express?

    So great! I can now play my music through my Home Cinema System on my TV but what about Airtunes? I have an Airport Express in my Studio and my Bedroom. Is there any way the Apple TV will act in the same way? Or can I select the other Airport Express Stations from AppleTV? If not are Apple planning on making this happen. I know it's early days for the AppleTV but they must have thought of this before hand? They did delay it's launch.
    Thanks in advance for comments and Help!
    Pete

    Currently there is no function to do that. I agree with you that this needs to be an added feature. Maybe the reasoning was that since the control for AirTunes is from the computer out to the remote speakers you would not need it with AppleTV since you control the content from there. Apple should have made the AppleTV not only a remote speaker but a remote controller. Maybe in the first update (PLEASE!).

  • ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

    Hi
    I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
    On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the  User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
    I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
    Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?

  • Hi-fi separates with Airport Express and Airtunes

    Hi, please could you tell me whether it is possible to use a hi-fi separates system with airport express? it doesnt seem possible to me but i thought i would ask.
    regards
    ste bond

    Ah. Much clearer to this antipodian now
    If you have a look at page 15 of the Setup Guide for Airport Express, available at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpressSetupGuide.pdf - it shows the connections it can be made to plug into.
    Every hi-fi system I've seen has stereo RCA jacks (red and white plugs) on the back for accepting auxiliary inputs. You'll just need to get the appropriate cable from your supplier of choice. If you system is more modern, using fibre optic cabling may be a better option (avoids ground loops, avoids multiple analog/digital conversions, etc).
    You can only use iTunes to send sound to the Airport Express, unless you get a third party application like AirFoil (from http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/ ), so technically "what I like" would need to be restricted to that which you had in iTunes, but basically, yes.

  • ITunes upgrade to 6.02 destroyed my Airport Express Airtunes network

    upgraded to 6.02 last night, opened iTunes this AM--lower RH corner no longer shows option to use computer speakers or my networked home theater speakers. Airtunes worked flawlessly in 6.01.
    is there any way to restore my airtunes network without downgrading to iTunes 6.01?
    would upgrading the OS to 10.4.4 fix this?
    not sure if this belongs in the iTunes for Mac thread or in the Airport Express thread--mods feel free to move
    thanks

    No answer from others but I seem to have fixed the problem by unplugging the Airport Express from the wall (i.e unpowering it), waiting 5 minutes,then plugging it back in. Light went yellow for less then a minute,then back to green, and after restarting my Mac and reopening iTunes the Airtunes button was back, and I can now choose the multiple speakers option and thus hear music through my home theater and on my iMac in the other room.
