Itunes Kills my wireless network??

Any one have any idea why when I am using Itunes it disconnects me from my wireless network? When I have it connected via a cat5 cable it works fine. I have a server with all my tunes on it and my entire library is on there. This system has been working fine for years until I went to a wireless card in my own pc. Windows media player streams my tunes fine across the network. I am using a TP-LINK TL-WN651G adapter running at 54mbs. The network drops out after about 15-20secs of playing a song or adding one etc etc.
Please help

I have also tried updating from version 7 to 8 Itunes. This did not fix the issue.

  • 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!

  • ITunes killing my wireless

    Installing iTunes 9.1.1.12 64-bit on my HP 5380sc (Win7 64-bit) kills my wireless connection. Using Win restore point prior to installing iTunes, makes my wireless work again. I have tried this several times with the same result.
    /Johnny

    This might be a conflict due to Bonjour for Windows. I think iTunes installs Bonjour by default now, but I could be wrong about that.
    Check your Add/Remove Programs for "Bonjour". If it is there, uninstall it, reboot, and see if that helps.

  • Using airport express for itunes and another wireless network for internet

    Is there any way i can use my airport express just for playin music through airtunes, and log onto the internet using a different wireless network?

    Hello bleno567. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is there any way i can use my airport express just for playin music through airtunes, and log onto the internet using a different wireless network?
    Yes, you just need to configure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), that will be used to stream iTunes, as a wireless client.

  • Apple TV is killing my wireless network

    I think my Apple TV is shutting down my wireless network. I've owned the Apple TV since April but the problems just began 3 days ago. When the Apple TV is connected to the network, the entire wireless network and internet connection is lost for all clients until I reset the router by unplugging the power supply. This happens every 30 minutes or so. When I unplug the Apple TV, the problems stop and the network is fine.
    I own the Linksys WRT54G version 6 router. Firmware v1.02.2 is installed. I have 2 computers and one AppleTV. Computer one is a Dell laptop that is almost never turned on, the other is a Mac G4 Desktop that is connected to the router with a Cat5 cable, not wireless, and it runs 24/7. I have the G4 set to use DHCP to autoconfigure and the router is set up to allow 3 connections. There is no MAC filtering. DHCP server is enabled. SSID is broadcast. I'm using WPA security. The DHCP lease time is one day.
    Has anyone else experienced these problems with an Apple TV??? -thanks

    If setting your DHCP server to 50 users did not help, then I would suggest you try setting your Apple TV to a fixed LAN IP address, and see if that helps.  The reason for this suggestion is that some Apple products have had problems using DHCP assigned addresses from Linksys routers.
    Linksys has some special rules for assigning fixed LAN IP addresses:
    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the Apple TV, not in the router.
    When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
    Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
    192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
    Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1  and the "DNS Server" to 192.168.1.1 
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
    If the problem does not resolve with a fixed LAN IP address as described above, then in place of the "DNS server" address of 192.168.1.1  substitute the actual Internet DNS server addresses, as listed in the router on the "Status" tab, "Router" subtab.
    Hope this helps.
    Since this is a relatively new problem, please let us know if this works or not.

  • Upgrade to 0S X 10.4 killed my wireless networking on Titanium G4

    Hello, I have a Titanium G4 and upgraded the OS from 10.2 to 10.4 and for some reason the wireless has not worked since (it worked perfectly just before). What gives? The OS shows that it sees the hardware and it works fine but I am unable to connect to any network.
    Thank you

    Well, I just reinstalled Tiger on my old Titanium. Wireless worked fine in 10.4, but after Software Update to 10.4.6 the PB refuses to see my Airport Express base station even though it has no problems with my neighbours' networks.
    A friend's iBook cannot see the network either.
    My AlBook, my wife's G4 PPC and another friend's iBook all see the network perfectly. Hmmm.

  • MacBook killing wireless network

    I have the MacBook 1.1 . Router is Linksys WRT54G. Up until approximately 2 weeks ago the network has worked without issue. For some reason the MacBook is killing the wireless network. I thought it was my ISP at first but then narrowed it down to the issue only happening when the MacBook is on the wireless network and then in the past couple of days noticed the network gets killed as soon as the Macbook connects. Im not referring to the just the MacBook loosing connection.... the entire wireless goes down and no wireless devices have access. It eventually comes back up but as long as the MacBook remains in the wireless network it will go back down again.
    Snow Leopard... Latest driver... latest firmware. It seems that this started right after a recent update downloaded on the MacBook but I cannot recall what was updated. I need this fixed since my Macbook is my main computer. The others are for family members and Im forced to stay off so they dont get booted.

    I have a similar problem with the Linksys WRT54G2 router. The problem seems to come and go but like you rz22g the only time the network is affected is when my MacBook is connected. All other devices on my network work fine PS3, MacMini etc.
    Just a speculation but the frequency of this problem started when I upgraded the firmware of the router. I don't know why this would have such a negative reaction. I have also checked that all the router settings are identical to the way they were before the router firmware update.
    Oddly enough while I type this my network has been the most stable I've seen it in a while.

  • 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

    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.

  • Can I access my itunes lib from another comp on my wireless network at home

  • 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.

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 disables ATT wireless network on XP laptop

    The network fails as soon as iTunes launches. The network is restored when iTunes is shut down.

    After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

  • 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.

  • 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.
