ITunes not connecting to AirTunes remote speakers after upgrade to 7.6.1

Hi
I've just noticed that iTunes is refusing to connect to my AirPort Express. Or rather, it's ignoring me when I ask it to connect; it's as if I didn't select the remote speakers at all. It is displaying them in the remote speakers menu, and allowing me even to bring up the "multiple speakers" option, but won't respond to me selecting them). It's only started doing this since the update to 7.6.1.
The problem is not with the AirPort unit; my partner's MacBook running 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6 will connect to it happily (thankfully she hasn't updated to 7.6.1 yet).
Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this simply a bug I need to report to the good people at Apple?
Thanks in advance.

Not working here either on v7.6.1.
Doesn't always find Airtunes speakers, works for a bit, then playback hangs at 0:00.
Quitting and restarting iTunes seems to get it (temporarily) working again.
Also, the iTunes volume control is broken - it plays at 100% volume regardless of volume setting and regardless of whether the "Disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers" option is checked.
All in all, a very poor release.

ITunes can not connect to remote speakers after upgrades

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes and I am no longer able to connect to my remote speakers. I get a random error message when trying to connect. I've rebooted the airport station and modem. Didn't solve the problem.
Can anyone help? I'm stumped...

I have a MacBook, airport express and appletv. All three were working with airtunes on itunes 7 without issue. Since itunes 8, airport express works great, but the itunes keeps reporting that my appletv speakers are no longer available.
Problem will occur on sleep/wakeup and whenever itunes decides it is angry, even though my appletv is listed on the bar and is syncing. Sometimes it will play for about 10 seconds and then the music stops, but itunes indicates it is still playing. Pause/play will sometimes resolve the issue, but other times will report the appletv speakers have disappeared, but itunes is still listing the apple tv. Rebooting appletv makes no difference.
Workaround has been to restart itunes. For the music stopping after 10 seconds, if restarting itunes results in the same problem, reboot computer. My firewall is disabled, so my opinion .
Also - I love the remote app on my touch, but when play fails due to a speaker error there is no feedback. Instead I get no music and after a delay the icon changes from pause to play again. Of course itunes was complaining about unavailable speakers. Someone should add some intelligence to report such errors to the remote.

X10 not connecting to mobile data networks after upgrade to Android 2.3

My X10 does not connect to GPRS / EDGE / 3G / HSDPA after the upgrade to 2.3. Wifi is no problem, though.
I used the SIM card in another X10 with Android 2.1, no problem, got an HSDPA connection. And yes, all the boxes are checked: "Data Enabled" and "Data Roaming";
I had problems before the upgrade to connect to data networks when roaming, but never in my home network. Now, it doesn't seem to work at all.
Any advice?

go to settings -> sony ericsson -> data download
or
settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names -> MENU -> add New -> enter the APN info -> MENU -> Save

Win XP : problems for itune to connect the airport remote speakers

Hi there,
My config is iTunes installed on my PC, a Tecom wifi router and two airport express base stations connected to speakers in different rooms of my flat.
At first, iTunes has no problem for seeing the airport stations and the music goes well through the wifi.
After two or three days, the PC doesn't see the stations anymore in iTunes (they actually still show, but in gray) .
If I want them to be seen again, I need to close iTunes, go to "connexions", disconnect my PC from the network, connect again, run iTunes again, and then... it works !
That's a bit boring. As strange as it could be, the act of shuting down my PC every night and running it "fresh" every morning doesn't help.
Has any one any suggestion on how it could work better ?

Hello Deb Parks. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure if, by product key, you mean the encryption password for your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) wireless network. Is your AEBSn's wireless network currently running encryption (WEP or WPA)? If so, temporarily disable it, and then, see if the PC can connect.

Airtunes remote speakers not visible in iTunes

I had this actually working flawlessly for about a year now. Two Airtunes speakers in Living and Dining room, controlled wirelessly through iTunes on my WinXP laptop.
And two more laptops, one Win2000, one OSX working fine too with it.
So suddenly, and I'm not sure if this was due to a Windows Update or an iTunes update or something else, that WinXP laptop doesn't show the remote speaker in iTunes anymore. I can still ping the Airport base stations but don't see them in iTunes anymore.
The other two computers are still connecting fine to them.
Turned of the Windows firewall, just to check, still same issue.
Uninstalled iTunes completely, restarted, reinstalled, same thing.
I just don't have any ideas what to try.
Anyone has an idea please?
Thanks,
Wolfgang

I may be having a similar problem. My remote speakers work great on one PC, but not another. On the other, when I connect to the remote speakers and click play on an mp3, iTunes crashes with a "Sorry, but iTunes has to close". The error signature doesn't make sense to me:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.5.0.20 ModName: itunes.exe
ModVer: 7.5.0.20 Offset: 002d0671
This is my work laptop and I have no ability to change the firewall settings. Could that be it, or is firewall unrelated to a complete iTunes crash? Thanks for any input.

Suddenly Airtunes Remote Speakers Not Available

I've been using Airtunes for quite a long time with a single problem. Now suddenly I was playing music using iTunes v7.1.1 and the playback stopped. Even so I was able to get to web pages and send and receive email. I noticed that my remote speakers showed at the bottom right of the iTunes window but they were italicized- which means they are unavailable. I then tried connecting to my base station with a wireless connection and it came back. Went back to my wired connection and no remote speakers! OK, so I thought it was the router that the base station and my Mac is connected to so I power-cycled the router and I got the remote speakers back. Started playing music again then a while later (a couple of hours) same thing happened. Power-Cycling the router always brought it back but I thought my router might be failing so I installed a brand new one. I was surprised when later iTunes stopped playing to my remote speakers again. Although I had no need before, I mapped UDP port 5353 to my Airport Express and started playing music. After a while the same thing happened- AirTunes just stopped playing. Power-cycling the router always brings it back, temporarily. So it wasn't the port, and it can't be the router. Anyone have an idea what may be going on? I've see that PC users are having this issue and turning off Bonjour fixes it for them, but I'm using a Mac (PPC) running OS 10.4.9. I did try turning off IPv6 but that didn't help- turned it back on. I'm now thinking it's iTunes 7.1.1. I'll try downgrading to an earlier version to see if that resolves the issue. Anyone have any other ideas?

Until today I had exactly the same problem.
Have you changed or upgraded your anti-virus recently? I have a PowerBookPro and a Dell XP PC on the same wireless network, Netgear main modem/router with 3 Airport Expresses each connected to amps/speakers. Suddenly recently the Mac could still see remote speakers via itunes, but the PC could not.
Turned out it was my upgraded antivirus, upgraded from eset nod32 to eset smart security on default settings. The default eset personal firewall settings are "automatic mode" where the sofware monitors all network traffic and imposes its own rules. I changed this to "interactive mode" where any traffic came up with a dialogue box to ask my permission.
Lo and behold, itunes had been asking permission to acces the airports, but been auto-denied. New setting allowed me to give permission and sure enough the speakers now appear in itunes.
Lesson: try fiddling around with settings of anti-virus monitoring software: it worked for me.
Hope this helps.

I installed 10, iTunes no longer connects to airport Remote Speakers

Boy, this is real irritating. I just use iTunes to stream internet radio to my stereo. It was all working fine, then I updated to v10 and nothing works anymore.
BIG PROBLEM...the option to choose computer speakers or remote speakers DISAPPEARED. Well, it was there for a second after I ran iTunes 10 for the first time, then the option DISAPPEARED.
Heck, I even unistalled everything and went back to v9.2.1....But the same problem...ITS GONE!
Now even I can't get iTunes to even connect to my Airport Express at all to even play music on the computer speakers.
Grrrrrr. I was all bloody working till v10 came along!!!
BTW, I'm using Comodo firewall. It was all working before, like I said.

Well I uninstalled Comodo and turned on Windows firewall. I re-installed iTunes.
I went into firewall settings and iTunes was checked off (allowed) for both home & public networks. Didn't work. I saw Bonjour on there and just 'home' was checked off, so I checked off 'public' to see if it mattered.
It did work. iTunes connected to the remote speakers....but for some reason, only for a very short period, then I get a network error.
This is freaking unbelievable. It was all working fine till I stupidly updtated to 10. Grrrrrrrrr

Can not get menu for remote speakers in itunes to come back.

I've been using airport express for many years.
A few months ago my modem went out.
While waiting for a new one to arrive, I still wanted to listen to my music. So I just selected computer speakers from the drop down in lower right corner of itunes.
The menu immediately disappeared when I selected computer speakers.
When I set up the new modem, the drop down did not reappear.
Tried a bunch of things. Read a bunch of older forums. Nothing.
It's been months. I need my music and I'm back at it again!
Today (in this order) I:
Reset my macbookpro (option apple p r)
reset airport express (held in reset while plugged in, waited for flashes)
set up airport express from scratch. Named it. All seems well.
light is green
Made sure find remote speakers from itunes pref was checked. (unchecked and checked it again)
Made sure itunes music sharing was checked from my firewall settings. (unchecked and checked it again)
Restarted itunes (a few times)
Nothing. Nothing . Nothing.
Airfoil says that if itunes can't find remote speakers, then neither will airfoil.
So I won't try downloading that as a fix...
PLEASE!? ANYONE!?
Yes my wires are checked.

I have pretty much the same problem.
I just set up a new Belkin Wireless N router, to replace my G and hopefully speed up my network, but now I've lost my Airport Express. It's still hooked up to my stereo, but the light is amber now and won't turn green.
Also, my iTunes can't find my remote speakers, and I can't even get the menu which used to have Computer and Living Room on it.
How can I get my iTunes to find that little Airport Express dude?

Can't always connect to remote speakers since upgrading to lion

In one fell swoop I did a lot of upgrading, and ever since I haven't been able to reliably connect to any remote speakers using iTunes on my iMac. From iTunes (or the Remote app on the phone or iPad) I can see remote speakers, but I cannot connect. From iTunes, I just get the stripy progress bar, and it won't ever go away unless I cancel out. From the remote app, it just becomes unrepsonsive.
Context:
I have a iMac with OSX Lion, that I upgraded from Snow Leopard a few weeks ago. At about the same time, I updated iTunes to 10.5 from the last 10.4 release to be able to get the IOS 5 update on my and my wife's phones.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to our broadband, with 3 airport expresses in various places in our house connected on a wireless network to stereos for remote speakers. The iMac is connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet. After upgrading the OS and iTunes, I got a notice that there was a firmware update for my two most recent airports (the Extreme and one of the expresses). They are running version 7.6 of the firmware, the other two airports are running 6.3.
There has been no change to the physical environment -- no sources of interference or anything like that. I can play music from the Music app on my phone to any of the remote speakers, there is no problem there.
About half the time, if I restart everything (wireless base stations, and then the computer) I can get the remote speakers to work. However, the next time the computer wakes up from sleep mode, I have the same connection problem described above.
Has anyone else experiences these sorts of troubles? I have seen some similar problems with older versions of all these applications and OS's -- and the solution there was to turn off ipV6 -- however, it doesn't look like that's an option now. Is this an identified bug, and is there a fix on the way? Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Well, after some experimentation and internet-lookin', I deduced that is possibly a wi-fi problem. It seems that many people are having wi-fi problems since upgrading to Lion, and although I'm not connecting directly to my wireless network, it does form a pretty big chunk of my setup describe above.
So I tried the fix outlined on OSX Daily here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/06/lion-wi-fi-problems-solution-mac/
Essentially what it has you do is to create a new network location, name it, and then renew your DHCP lease. This seems to have worked for the time being.

Itunes no longer shows my remote speakers

Since loading leapard my remote speaker option in itunes has gone. Airport utility now longer shows my two airport express base stations which I use for streaming my music. Only my AEBS shows in the utility. Can anyone offer advice please.

Hi,
I have the same problem but managed to solve a small part of it, namely the AEX not showing in Airport Utility. If you join your Mac via ethernet cable to the AEX it will be seen in the Airport Utility and can be configured.
Unfortunately - at least in my case - iTunes still does not recognise the remote speakers after the procedure.
Cheers,
Ruth

Expert advice needed: Why could I not connect to my own server after deletion of SSL certificate?

Issue: Could not connect to my own server after deletion of SSL certificate despite having SSL disabled
Hello,
I admit I am lay user with rudimentary SSL knowledge and I therefore messed up my certificates and I could no longer access my own server (Wikis, WebDav, Device Manager) with Safari. (error: Safari can't connect to server)
Eventually, I could resolve the problem but I do not understand why there was problem in the first place.
Maybe someone can explain that to me ?
OK, here is what I did:
I created a Certificate Authority because I wanted to use a free SSL Server certificate for our private server.
(I followed http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mac/create-your-own-ssl-ca-with-the-os-x-keycha in/388 )
Despite several attempts I never got the server to accept the certificate for web services, the certificate was accepted for iCal, Mail and iChat but not for Web services. I tested an older certificate that was created when I set up the server and that that worked for all services incl. Web. So the problem was with my certificate only.
Out of desperation and lack of concentration I deleted the "original" certificate.
Now, I soon noticed that I could no longer log in to my server. I solved the problem by restoring the original certificate.
My question:
I had SSL disabled in the Server app settings. Why does Safari still look for a proper certicate ? (the server logfile had an entry that a .pem file could not be found which makes sense if the cert has been deleted)
I would be very grateful for an expert advice.
Regards,
Twistan

Because....
the server does not have a 'trusted' certificate assigned to it.
Only the RDP Gateway has the trusted certificate for the external name.
If you want to remove that error, you have to do one of the following:
Make sure your domain uses a public top level domaim, and get a public trusted certificate for your server.
So, something like,
server.domain.publicdomain.com
Or,
Install that certificate on your remote computer so it is trusted.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

Welcome to the support community group.
First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop. Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power. Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop. Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility. Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
Check back if you're still having problems.
