Itunes and Airport admin do not see AE on one computer, but do on other

I have a network that is connected to the internet via a Linksys router. I have set up the Airport Express to redistribute the signal via WDS. I have a Mac desktop connected to the network and it can see the AE in the Airport Admin, and it can broadcast music via iTunes to the stereo attached to the AE.
However, my Powerbook that is also attached to this network cannot "see" the AE via the Airport Admin or iTunes. In the admin I can manually connect to the AE by typing in the AE's local IP address.
I know there have been other threads on this, and I have read them all and tried the suggestions. I have connected the AE directly to the Powerbook with an ethernet cable and it still does not show up. I have changed the AE's name and rebooted the computer and AE multiple times. Still nothing.
If anyone has more advice, please let me know. This is very odd and frustrating. I do not understand why one computer can see the thing, but the other one cannot.
Thanks,
Bryan

Okay, this really has me baffled... When I woke up this morning and looked at my laptop, the AE appeared in the Admin Utility and as a speaker selection in iTunes. When I tried to select the AE as an audio output in iTunes the application just did not respond. I closed and restarted iTunes and the output selector was no longer there, and when I checked the Admin Utility the AE was no longer in the list.
I decided to not worry about it for now.
So then I logged into my work network via my VPN client. While attached to the VPN I clicked over to iTunes and, lo and behold, the selector is back and the AE is available for audio output. Once again, if I try to select the AE as the output, iTunes does not respond to the selection. The AE is also visible in the Admin Utility while connected to the VPN as well. If I log off of the VPN, the AE disappears from iTunes and the Admin Utility.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bryan

  • 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)

  • ITunes and Airport Admin do not see my Airport Express  Windows XP

    Internet works fine, but I lost my speaker connection and can't get into the AE to try and fix it. Airport admin utility doesn't scan it and airport setup assistant can't connect to it. I've tried soft, hard, and factory resets.

    Is the XP PC running any kind of internet security software?

  • Itunes and airport utility will not recognize AE despite status green

    I am trying to onfigure my vista pc and airport extreme base station to stream music wirelessly via an AE. I have read the posts and with AE connected via an ethernet connection it shows up in itunes under my computer tab and everything is ok. However when I disconnect the ethernet cordm the status light on both the AE and airport extreme (when I plug it back into my only eternet connection) both show green, yet neither itunes nor airport utility will recognize the AE. Also tried using windows network tab to add the AE as a wireless device but it also does not find it.Can anyone help me further with this? Very frustrating

    For your express to show up in your globe-view thingy....  you need to either select the network that the express is broadcasting from the wifi drop-down.... or select the network that it is a part of.

  • ATT hooked up new u-verse router, now time capsule does not work and airport utility does not see it ?

    ATT hooked up the new U-verse router replacing the older 2wire router. Old 2wire router worked fine with Airport +Time Capsule. Now only the amber light flashes. When I try to reconnect with Time Machine it does not find the Time Capsule nor does the airport utility find the Time Capsule. Any help?

    Okay, the 3801HGV also doesn't bridge - but there is a workaround. Info on the workaround comes from 'SomeJoe7777' at this link:
    http://forums.att.com/t5/Residential-Gateway/U-verse-for-BUSINESS-2Wire-3600HGV- bridge-mode-or-another-AT-amp/td-p/2707013
    As for connecting to your TC: the 3801HGV uses a default IP address of 192.168.1.254. It passes out IP addresses to your networked devices, and all of those IP addresses will be 192.168.1.something. The TC uses a default IP address of 10.0.1.1. As your primary router, if the TC's defaults weren't changed, the TC would be handing out addresses to your networked devices that are 10.0.1.something.
    If your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.something, it won't be able to see the TC if the TC's address is 10.0.1.1 (or anything else that's not 192.168.1.something). Hopefully that makes sense!
    Go into System Preferences on your Mac, and click the Network icon. Click on Ethernet on the left side, and you'll be able to see what IP address your Mac has been given. My guess is that it has a 192.168.1.something address from the 3801HGV.
    If I'm right about the 192.168.1.x address, and that your TC is running with 10.0.1.x addresses, then that's why your Mac can't see your TC. In this case, you need to change the Mac's Ethernet setup to manually set your Mac to a 10.0.1.x address for the TC to see. To do this, go to System Preferences, then Network, then click Ethernet on the left side.
    Set the Configure IPv4 dropdown to 'Manually', and it will open up some places for you to fill in information:
    IP Address: 10.0.1.15 (or a similar number that won't conflict with your TC's address, but starts with 10.0.1)
    Subnet Mask: put in 255.255.255.0
    Router: 10.0.1.1 (I'm assuming here that your TC was running with the default IP address; if it was something different, then set Router to whatever IP address your TC was using.)
    Then, click the Apply button to make your changes active.
    Now, since your Mac's IP address will be in the right "subnet" for your TC, they should be able to see each other. (It's kind of like having to live on the same block as someone to be able to talk with them. In general, if your computers don't have similar addresses, they can't talk to each other. Of course that's simplified greatly, but you probably get the idea...)
    Once you've got the IP addresses matched up, you should be able to see your TC. At that point, you can update the TC to work with the 3801HGV. I recommend setting it to bridge mode, but if you can follow SomeJoe7777's advice, go for it!

  • HT1766 How can I have multiple iphones on itunes and prevent them from having the info from one ipone going to the other

    How can I have multiple iphones on itunes without them sharing contact info

    If contacts on each iPhone are being synced direct with the same supported address book app on the computer via the iTunes sync process, deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for the iPhones that you don't want synced with the same address book followed by a sync.
    If each iPhone is sharing the same Apple iCloud account with Contacts enabled for over the air syncing, each iPhone needs its own iCloud account.

  • Airport Utility does not see Airport Extreme Base Station

    Purchased Airport Extreme yesterday at Apple Store to replace old Netgear Router. Wanted wireless network to work with 2 identical HP Laptops running XP with SP3 and 2 iPod touches, and possible future purchases of iPad 2 and Apple TV. Installed Airport Utility software from CD on Dell Studio running Windows 7. Connected Airport Extreme to cable modem and Dell Studio. Ran Airport Utility software to configure Base Station but it did not recognize the Base Station. Base Station had blinking amber light. Did have internet connectivity on Dell Studio, and wireless internet connectivity on 2 iPod touches, and on one HP Laptop. No wireless internet on other HP Laptop. But wireless internet connection was unsecured and Airport Utility did not see Airport Extreme so could not configure it to make it secure. Contacted Apple Customer support. After 30-40 minutes of attempting several different possible fixes only able to use Airport Utility to configure Airport Extreme remotely, wirelessly, from one HP Laptop, not the Dell Studio that is directly connected to the base station. Now that the base station is configured the network is secure. However, second HP Laptop cannot connect to primary wireless network. I created password protected "Guest" network using Airport Utility, and laptop is able to connect to this Guest network. From reviewing forums am now able to configure Airport Extreme with Airport Utility by using "Configure other" on Dell computer. But utility cannot find device by scanning. Would like to find way to (1) have Airport Utility on Windows 7 Dell see Airport Extreme by scanning and not using "configure other," and (2) have 2nd HP Laptop connect to primary network and not "guest' network. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Bob - Thanks so much for your quick reply. I followed your suggestions and, to go into perhaps unnecessary detail, I'll write what I did. I completely disconnected the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) from my computer. I disabled Windows Firewall, uninstalled my anti-virus program, and uninstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, recycled by cable modem (took out the battery and unplugged it for about 20 seconds), then restarted my computer. After the computer booted up, I verified that windows firewall was disabled, reinstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, then reconnected the cable connecting the AEBS to the computer (to one of the three ethernet ports, and I tried each of them in case one was faulty) but not to the cable modem as my firewall was disabled and had no anti-virus software. I also reconnected the AEBS power chord. I opened the newly reinstalled Airport Utility software and it did not find the base station. Only when I used "configure other" was I able to access the AEBS. I recycled the modem again, but that did not help. I turned on the firewall, installed anti-virus software, connected the AEBS to the modem, the light turned green, and I was able to access the internet on the primary computer and the wireless network gave me internet access on my laptops. But I was still not able to have my main computer, the one directly connected to the AEBS able to see it, and configure it, without utilizing "configure other."
    Also, any idea why one of my laptops can only access the "guest" network? When it attempts to connect to the primary network it will stay on "acquiring network address" for what seems a few minutes, then switch to the "guest" network and connect immediately.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

    You cannot fond the movie?  Where did you look?
    Did it download?  Have you tried Store>Check for Available downloads.
    The movie is there but it won't play?

  • Airport Utility does not see devices

    Ok... this started because i noticed that iTunes was not seeing my remote speakers connected to the airport express... so i start looking into it. Mind you, the whole time i am connected to my wireless network. I have an airport extreme that is connected to the cable modem and an airport express on the other side of the apartment that has the speakers connected to it. My wife's laptop sees both devices, as does the iMac... when i run airport utility on both, no problems. However, when i run it on my MacBook Pro... nothing, i rescan and rescan.... and nothing.
    Any ideas on what i should be looking at?

    Me too- but I have a Leopard G5 tower that can still see the Airport Express (g) and I have a Tiger MacBook that can also see it. Both can see it via the utility and via iTunes. But my Leopard MacBook Pro cannot see it for either service, though my connection still works. When I restart the Airport, I can briefly see it in the Utility, but it never reads the config and just spins forever. I've reinstalled the utility, but no dice.

  • Airport Admin Utility wont see ABS "Snow"

    Hi.
    The Airport Admin Utility (v 4.1.1) and the Airport Setup Assistant (v 4.1.1) , and the Airport Setup Assistant for "Snow" or "Graphite" (v 3.4.3) and the Airport Management Utility (v 1.0) won't see my "Snow" Base station. I have Mac OS 10.4.1 on my G5.
    My Powerbook, which is upgraded to 10.4.2 with updated Airport 4.2 software installed will not see the base station with any of these utilities either.
    My Ruby iMac, which is attached to the Airport base station via an ethernet cable running Mac OS 10.1 (I think) sees the base station without problem.
    The networks themselves are visible (I have two DSL connections temporarily and have the newer DSL temporarily hooked up with the Westell Versalink wireless modem that comes with a Verizon account). Airport sees and connects thru to either network, but I can't see the Apple base station. I have no idea whether I should be able to see the Westell modem, but that's immaterial.
    - The DSL modem is connected to the WAN port on the Airport Base Station.
    - I don't have "Block UDP Traffic" selected in the Sharing Control Panel
    - the network names appear in the "Preferred Networks" tab in Networks
    - the network names appear in Internet Connect
    - the networks appear in the dialog text field at the beginning of Diagnostics
    The G5 has Airport Extreme card and the Powerbook has an older Airport card.
    Is this some wierd marketing deal on Apple's part to make me buy a new base station? Can't I make this work?
    I've done a lot of reading in Discussion, Knowledge base and the usual Mac sites and I can't find the exact problem, nor can I find a solution.
    (Oh help me Obi Wan, You're My Only Hope. )
    Anybody got a clue how to see the Base Station?
    Catherine

    Hi Catherine,
    You should be able to see the Airport from any mac. All that is important is the version of firmware on the Airport and the airport software on the Mac. I suggest that you get the newest airport firmware on the airport. The easiest way to do this is to plug the powerbook into the airport like you currently have your iMac plugged in via ethernet. Then airport admin should see it. Use the option to upload the default firmware to the base station.
    Make certain the all macs that you use to administer the airport have the newest version of airport software.
    As for the Westell, airport software will not see that. You will likely only be able to administer that through a web browser.

  • AirPort Management Utility and AirPort Admin Utility

    Is there a difference between AirPort Management Utility and Airport Admin Utility? I see that the Airport Management Utility has not been updated for a while while the Airport Admin Utility is more recent. Does the latter replace the former?
    Thanks!

    Is there a difference between AirPort Management Utility and Airport Admin Utility?
    Yes, the Management Utility gives you the ability to monitor some aspects of your Apple base station.
    The AirPort Admin Utility allows you configure and control the Apple base station.
    Does the latter replace the former?
    No

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
