Itunes - airport express - remote speaker not compatible?

Airport Express unit (AX) connects to my network and verified to be connected to the network just fine...but on itunes (v. 7.4.2.4) on my desktop (Dell Dim E510 with wireless, Windows XP, Linksys router WRT350N with AX for airtunes)...when I switch speaker to the AX/stereo unit, comes back with message - "the remote speaker xxx is not compatible with this version of itunes"... I've battled this issue for a long time -- any idea what is the problem?

OK I got it working again. I'm not sure exactly what did the trick, but I'd recommend the following:
1. Repair your wireless modem connection via your taskbar (rick-click on the Wireless Network Connection, Repair)
2. Start itunes while the Airport Express Setup Assistant is running
3. Restart your computer
4. Keep trying, after 2 days it's working again (???)

    Airport Extreme Base Station "chained" to 2 Aiport Express Remotes. All connections are fine. Have internet on remote Macs. Airport Admin utility displays all three airport units, but I'm now unable to broadcast to the remote Express hooked up to my stereo in adjacent room. Have done this many times in the past without problem, but not in past couple months, so can't say if it broke with 7.1 or 7.1.1, but I get this message from iTunes:
    The remote speaker "Living Room Speakers" is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    Prior to restarting iTunes (and being sure all Aiport station firmware was up-to-date, I was getting the message that no speakers were connected (double-checked all speaker and stereo connections), but now just the "not compatible" message.

  • Itunes error: remote speaker not compatible w/ 7.1.1.5

    Arggghh, I just upgraded to itunes 7.1.1.5 (as suggested by Apple), and now I can't connect to my Airport Express Base Station from itunes. I get the following message:
    The remote speaker is not compatible with this version of itunes.
    I have the latest firmware upgrade 6.3 for the base station. It worked fine for months on itunes 6 and 7.0, don't understand this. Help! (FYI I'm not running bonjour on my PC, and I dig Archers of Loaf.)

  • Remote speaker not compatible with this version of iTunes?

    Hello,
    I have the newest version of iTunes and an Airport Express through which I play music.
    After upgrading to the newest version of iTunes, a window appears stating that my remote speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes when I try to select the remote speakers as my audio output.
    What does this mean and how can I fix the problem? How can my speakers not be compatible with iTunes when all I have is an optical cable from my Airport Express going into the back of my home theater receiver?
    Cheers,
    --VesaM

    You'll get this error if the version of firmware on the AirPort Express is incompatible with the version of iTunes you are using. Make sure you have the latest base station firmware (6.3) and the latest iTunes (7.0.2).

  • Remote speaker not compatible

    So I just tried to use iTunes to stream music to my remote speaker, which I've had connected and been using without problems for many years. I have upgraded to iTunes 7.2, but I did this awhile ago.
    Nevertheless, I got the following error message when I tried to select my remote speaker: "The remote speaker 'Euterpe' is not compatible with this version of iTunes." I haven't updated the version recently, and I used the speakers without a problem on Tuesday of the past week.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have recently installed security updates that were prompted via the automatic software update, but I didn't see anything specifically mentioning changes to iTunes.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    iBook G3, 900 Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   640 MB RAM

    So I answered my own question, but, in case any one else has this problem, it required updating the firmware on my Airport Express. I don't know why it took so long for the incompatibility to manifest, but I suspect the recent security update was the proximate cause. In any case, the firmware update (V6.3) fixed it.

  • Does iTunes/Airport Express support speaker-specific volume control?

    Hi there,
    So say I have two Airport Expresses, one in the living room with speakers and another one in the bathroom with speakers. Can I setup the volume in the bathroom to be lower?
    Thanks.

  • ITunes can't find Airport Express remote speakers after PC standby

    I use Airport Express 802.11n to drive my remote speakers over WiFi from iTunes. It works well, except for after my PC Laptop has been in standby (such as folding the screen). When it wakes up and regains network connectivity, iTunes can no longer find the Airport Express remote speakers. I can ping the Airport and it shows up in Airport Utility, so I have WiFi connection. It does not help to restart iTunes, I need to reboot Windows to allow iTunes to see the remote speakers again.
    Does anyone have a tip of how I can get iTunes to "refresh" the Airport Express connection (zeroconf/Bonjour issue?) after standby wakeup?

    Holy moly. Now it works.
    I restarted the Airport Express from the Airport Utility application, repaired persmissions and rebooted the computer as well.
    Not much of a "fix" but sometimes you gotta do the most obvious I guess. (And yes I feel stupid)
    Cheers

  • Can I strem audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes

    Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes. where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?

    Hello keer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes.
    Yes. To stream audio, other than from an iTunes source, to an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
    where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?
    You can submit suggestions to Apple at the following link: Apple Product Feedback

  • Airport express green but not showing up in airport utlitity nor airtunes

    Hi,
    I'm  trying to troubleshoot a problem for my parents. They have a westell dsl modem wireless access point in their office. To give them better reception in the rest of the house I hooked up an old airport express I had lying around. It works fine and has extended the network perfectly  (green light etc.) BUUUTTT why does neither the airport utility nor an ipad, nor itunes "see" the speakers or the even the express ?
    What am I missing?
    I wouldn't have to have an all apple networking? I seem to remember that i have used the express at hotels and it showed up no problems...
    Thanks,
    Philly
    Airport Express is one of the first ones. Computers running lion and mountain lion. iDevices on the latest 5.X

    Hi Carolyn
    Thanks for your reply. I'm running 10.6.4.
    Unfortunately - no luck with that solution. The Kitchen Airport Express also does not show up in the air tunes on my Apple TV.
    I have had no problems with getting airport expresses to show up in air tunes before adding this Dlink to my set up - I think it is something to do with the fact that the DLink is plugged into my Airport extreme. (I have tried DHCP off and on).
    Thanks

  • Is AirPort Express v.6.3 compatible with OS X 10.8.2?

    Is AirPort Express v.6.3 compatible with OS X 10.8.2?

    What computer are you using?
    Does your computer meet the minimum standards for running Color? (Link to standards)
    Does it have dual monitors? (It should and each should be at least 1650x1050)
    What is the format of the material?  (It should be ProRes.)
    And so on.
    And yes, it does run in ML, though I don't trust it in that environment. I run it under 10.6.8 on a MacPro with a Kona card to feed the external reference monitor.

  • I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • HT4259 Q: Can I use an older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    Q: Can I use my older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, Are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
    However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.

  • Airport extreme doesn't recognize airport express remotes

    Airport utility doesn't recognize airport express remotes in my network even though they appear to be working. Any ideas how to fix this?

    You don't need to download drivers to the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    However, you may have to download and install a printer driver on your Mac - if Epson's web site has a newer version than the one built into OS X (which is version 3.09).
    You could also try using the alternate "Stylus Photo R340 - Gutenprint" driver built into MacOS 10.5.

  • Speaker not compatible with this version of Itunes

    Suddenly, I am getting this message when selecting my remote speakers..."Family Room" speaker is not compatible with this version of Itunes. I have re-installed an older version of Itunes, updated my firmware on my airport express and even recreated my wireless network...nothing works so far.

    I am having the same problem from my wireless PC where I just installed the latest version of iTunes for the first time. My hardwired PC works. I wonder if I have to disconnect from the hardwired PC before I can connect with the wireless?
