ITunes & Dell Wireless Network?

Hi!
I have a PC connected to a Dell router - with a Motorola Bridge connected to the Mac Mini - I recently learned the JOYS of iTunes and would love to get the commercial free stations on my home stereo... Being a graphic designer by trade, I can help you design a brochure layout - but I surely could use help with networking.... Can this be done with the wireless router we have? And if so, what additional purchases would I need?
You all are great - thank you in advance for your time...

Check out the AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes, which can be found in the apple store online. I know this works real well with broadcasting music to remote stereos and such through wireless networks. Im not 100% sure it works with the radio stations, but if it does then this would be perfect. So definitly take a look into that product.

  • Problem playing itunes over wireless network

    I have a problem with folders syncing between my computer and my audio system.  I have a PC and my operating system is MS Vista.  The computer has the latest version of itunes on it.
    I can play music from my PC thru my wireless network on my audio system, but not itunes.  When I look at the file hiarchy on my TV through my Bluray (an LG), the files below music do not match the hiarchy on my computer.  The server is recognized and other music and picture files are there and they work fine through what the software calls Homelink.  But beneath the Music folder the itunes folder does not show as it does on my computer screen.  I have actuated file sharing for itunes on the computer.
    I chatted with LG help and they said that I can't make itunes work because itunes does not have something called DINA.  I have never heard of this and question this answer.
    I would think there is a way to make this work down to the itunes playlist level.  If I can't I will have to burn my playlist to a CD and play it in the Bluray and I had rather not have to do that.
    Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciate.  The path that I have itunes set on on the computer is: Server/Music/itunes. 

    Can you marked this thread as Finished then please ?

  • Problems with Installing iTunes and wireless network connection

    Every time I attempt to install iTunes it completely kicks the internet off and an error comes up that the wireless network adapter to not connect or is not detected. My internet service is connected to a router which I receive wirelessly to my laptop. I do not understand why it is happening and to get the internet to work again I needed to do a system restore. Any ideas why this is happening. Also when iTunes was installed it came up correctly, it would just not connect to the net. I have had a previous version on my old laptop but since purchasing this new laptop I am having such difficulty. On another note, if this problem can be resolved, once iTunes is working is there a way to get the songs from my old computer onto the new? Thanks for the help in advance!

    I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
    Issue:
    During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
    Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
    Resolution:
    After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
    The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
    1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
    2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
    3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
    4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
    5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Reboot.
    Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

  • ITunes crashes wireless network

    Here's the problem...
    Using a Netgear router with a Netgear wireless USB adapter.
    Launch iTunes and the error message comes up that it can not connect to iStore (even though I though I disabled it in parental controls) and from that point on my network connection is lost.
    If I restart the comp I can not even launch the Netgear software and I have to do an uninstall and re-install everytime.
    Any ideas?

    I use a Sitecom music streamer to my HiFi installation (via the usb-connector of the camera connection kit).
    After a few seconds of good audio the WiFi-connection is cut off, meaning that ther is no input fromSpotify anymore and hence no music.
    Seems that the music streamer uses all the band width?
    Ipad 2 with iOS 6
    Extra info:
    my WiFi network keeps running, it is the  iPad which can't connect anymore. So Spotify goes into off line mode.
    Streaming my off line playlists works fine

  • Remote can't find iTunes on mix wired/wireless network

    I am trying to control music from a iMac running iTunes using the iPhone Remote app. I've previously done this successfully with a wireless only network (using the Airport Express wifi to join my existing wifi network etc).
    However, since introducing D-Link Homeplugs into my network, I am unable to 'see' the iTunes library from the Remote app when I connect wirelessly to the airport express.
    My hardware is configured as follows:-
    *Netgear Router (wireless disabled) -> Homeplug power network -> iMac running iTunes*
    And elsewhere on the Homeplug network, I have:
    H*omeplug power network -> Airport Express [set up as wireless access point]*.
    If I connect the Express to the iTunes machine directly - leaving the wireless access details the same - it all works fine. If I move the Airport Express and reconnect over the Homeplug network, the Remote fails to 'see' the library, although I can still send music over the network (using the iTunes interface on the iMac) to the remote speakers.
    My network uses the router as a DHCP (range 192.168.0.x mask 255.255.255.0), Airport Express is connected to Homeplug ethernet with a static IP (in the same range) and provides wireless access (unsecured for now while i get this working). The iMac has a static IP (in the same range). If I swap the iMac for a PC (XP - using DHCP from the router for IP), I get the same result. If I use an iPhone network application to view the network (connected by the wifi access point on the AX) then I can see all the machines on my network as I would expect.
    To reiterate, if I cable this network directly (either AX->iMac or AX->hub->iMac) then it works. As soon as I go AX->Homeplug power network->iMac then the Remote app loses sight of the library.
    I wouldn't expect any firewall on the wired->wireless networks on my router (a Sky branded Netgear 934g). I also didn't think that the Homeplugs would block.
    So does anyone have any ideas why the Remote application loses sight of my iTunes library when connecting via Airport Express cabled into a Homeplug ethernet network ?
    Thanks for any help because I miss my music
    cheers,
    Tim

    Hello,

  • My ipod was connecting to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my Itunes on my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've tried resetting the network settings etc... Nothing seems to work. Help!

    My ipod (version 6.1.3) was connectiong to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my itunes via my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've uplugged my wireless network and reset my network settings etc... nothing seems to work. Please help!

    Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS devices see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

  • Wireless network sharing in iTunes 6.0.4 (3) nonfunctional after upgrades

    I have been using iTunes on my university's wireless network to connect to other users' libraries for almost a year, and it hasn't had a problem until the upgrade to version 6.0.3, when any attempt resulted in the error "The shared music library is not accessible for an unknown reason. (-3259). Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689". I can see everyone on the network in my side panel, just can't connect.
    The first fix I tried was to downgrade to 6.0.2. However, after I installed the package that was supposed to be said version, it turned out to actually be 6.0.4.
    Then I tried upgrading to the most recent version, along with any OS upgrades that had come out, which I did a few minutes ago. This also didn't solve the problem.
    Does anyone know whether this could be simply software-related, or possibly a quirk of the way the newer OS and program are interacting with the wireless network? Obviously I have no control over its settings. Also, if it is just a software issue, does anyone know where I can find a functional version of 6.0.2?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • I was on a trip and downloaded some tunes on my notebook.  i then wanted to sync them to my Imac at home, but can nnot find a cable hook up ..nor can i seem to do it through the wireless network...how can I sync from the notebook itunes with the imac at h

    I was on a trip and I downloaded some tunes on my notebook. 
    At home now, and I am trying to sync the notebook itunes new songs to my Imac, so I do not have to open both computers in the 'shared library' section every time I want to hear a song that I bought last week on the notebook.  I simply want to dump my new tunes on my imac and play them from there.  Is there a cable I am missing, how do I connect both computers?
    I can not imagine a world where I can buy the music on the notebook, but I can not transfer it on my Imac???!!!
    Suggestions please!
    Thanks everyone,
    Adie Elliott

    There are several ways. iCloud is partially live, at least in the US, so if you are in the US and have the latest version of iTunes on your home computer, start up iTunes, click on the Store button in the list on the left side of the screen, and on the right side of the iTunes store screen look for Purchased (there will be an orange New! tag next to it). You can (re)download any songs you've bought from your account on any authorized device you own. IOW, buy with your iPad, download later with your iMac if you don't feel like syncing with your iPad.
    If you have a wireless network at home you can using filesharing to connect the two computers and copy the songs from the notebook to the desktop. My wife has a corporate DropBox account and she just copies her new songs into the DropBox and grabs them when she's at home. I have a history of forgetting that I've downloaded songs on my notebook or at work so I always immediately copy them to my flash drive. So there you go - lots of ways to do what you want.

  • Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

    I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

    Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
    With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
    Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

    I set up a wireless network about a week ago, and have made it with the following security features: WEP, enable only certain MAC addresses to connect, and disabled broadcasting the SSID.  I have been able to use it just fine with my Mac computer using airport, but when I have tried to connect my roommates computer, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista, it can't connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for an Windows cannot connect to the network and that the Wireless association failed due to unknown reasons.  It then says to connect with your administrator, but that is me.  I have a minimal knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and am basically figuring this out as I go along.  If anyone has some advice for me, both my roommate and I will be very grateful.
    Thanks,

  • Itunes 7.4.1.2 interfering with wireless network

    This is a weird one, i hope someone can help!!
    I upgraded my ipod the other day to an 80Gb ipod classic (6th gen) and so i had to upgrade to the lastest version of iTunes. Having done this, 8 times out of 10 when i eject my iPod from within iTunes my wireless connection disconnects and if i try to view available wireless connections it cannot find any!! If i disable and re enable my network connection then it reconnects automatically. I have a USB Belkin wireless adapter and i am running the latest driver ..I also have all the latest Windows updates installed, and advice would be appreciated!
    Cheers
    James

    anyone else have any thoughts on this? I am an IT consultant so i have checked the basics but i dont know a huge amount about how the hardware side of things works.... is there any way it could be something to do with me removing the ipod without ejecting it? I have tried to do some tests to check but it happens so infrequently that its difficult ... its just annoying!!! I am going to try and test it with a PCI wireless card instead of USB at some point as well....

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize my external, wireless-networked hard drive (Western Digital) during installation and set-up of iTunes?

    Hello,
    I'm re-installing iTunes for Windows 7 (64-bit) due to a bug that occured with the iOS7 update.  The Genius Bar recommended that I uninstall and re-install iTunes from scratch.  All of my music is located on a WD external hard drive that's connected wirelessly to my PC.  I didn't have this problem until the iOS update for iphone 5, v.7.0.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I didn't relate this; now iTunes will not install on my PC when pointed to my external, wireless-networked hard drive.  It appears that it doesn't recognize it.

  • Copying itunes files via wireless network?

    I'm trying to consolidate my PC's itunes library with the one on my recently purchased macbook. I am able to access and listen to the music through a wireless network (if itunes is open on both computers), but I'm confused as to how to add the shared files to my mac's library permanently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    well this is what i did on my macbook to get it from my itunes.
    In the findre menu select go and connect to server and enter your pc's ip address. It should come up and just enter the name on the other computer and password and u should be in.
    Also remember to enable sharing in the system prefrences and select personal file sharing. And do what ever on ur pc to allow sharing.
    Hope this helps!
