ITunes sending at least -20db to airport express after security update

Hi all, did anyone notice anything strange after this week's security update?
My airport express is conected to a receiver and the volume was ok, 65w per channel and a pair of decent JBL speakers.
Now i need to set up my receiver to 0 db (maximum volume) to get an audible sound. I think that if there was something wrong with my receiver i should be getting no sound at all or at least some weird sound. Can anyone help me with this one?
Everytime i turn on iTunes i get a big pop sound through the receiver/speakers, and this was not happening before.
Well, i guess this is either a bug or my receiver is broken...
Thanks in advance, Leo.
Does Apple have anything to say?

I already checked the receiver with a different sound source and it's all working fine.
I guess it is either a bug or a hardware issue on airport express.
Please help me. I can't live with wires anymore...
Thanks.

  • Airport erratic after security update 2008005 on Aug 5th

    System: macbook with os 10.5.4
    Access point: Airport express
    Updated: Aug 5th, 2008, with security update 2008005
    Immediately after update,
    Symptoms:
    -airport strength full.
    -connection to internet drops and comes back several minutes later.
    -turning off and on airport 3 times solves the problem without having to wait to resume functioning alone.
    -curiously airport working fine with linksys access point
    Solution, today, 3 days after:
    -install original leopard DVD.
    -Utilities>restore from last backup on time machine.
    -then restore individually email, safari bookmarks and files changed the past 3 days.
    -airport not hanging anymore.
    Problem to face in the future:
    -completely mistrusting apple updates
    -maybe a complete backup on time machine before updating will help me thinking of updating my machine again.
    Too bad Apple, too bad.

    Hi, I'm a new convert who got sick and tired of Windows. I'm having the same problem and am wondering if there's a better way to "undo" the 2008005 update or correct the problem without "undoing" it. This problem made me crazy while trying to install a wireless printer to be shared by everyone in my home network. I was able to install it when finally the computer stayed connected long enough.
    Gurus, Tech Pros, anyone... any ideas???? Please help!

  • Can no longer send or receive email from any account after Security Update

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my email in Mail. I let software update install the latest security update (007) a few days ago. I have not been able to send or receive my email since the update. I have several accounts and use Mail as my client for all. This includes my mac.com account, 3 att.net accounts and my website email. All give me the same error which is an SSL thing and has something to do with the certificates. I am able to receive email if I turn SSL off on the ATT accounts but not the mac.com (and if I try to collect my email with SSL off I get an angry message from ATT warning me I am not allowed to do so) and I cannot send any at all from any account.
    The error message reads "unable to connect- there may be a problem with the mail server or network.... The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificated issued to "mail.mac.com". The error was: An SSL error occured while trying to read data from the server. Verify this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct". It then states that the certificate could not be verified.
    The certificate date on the mac.com account reads May, 29th , 2010.
    I also have an iMac and a MacBook Pro which are also running Tiger. I have not and will not run the security update on these machines until I find out why it has messed up my email on the G5. I can still send and receive email with the exact same account settings on the MacBook so I know it is not the settings but something to do with the Security Update.
    Has anyone else had trouble with this update? Any advice?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
    If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
    Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • Connection with airport impossible after security update

    Hei
    I'm new on mac computers;
    after downloading the security update, i have a problem with my airport. The airport is working, it detect my Livebox, knows it name. It ask me to give the WEP key to access to this livebox a message. i give it and then it says that an error occured while connecting to this livebox.
    My code is good, my livebox is on association position (to accept new computer,...)
    Someone could help me?
    Thank you very much
    Yannick

    Thank you for answer but it didn't work. The message written is the same message than the one you have when you enter a wrong WEP key: "an error occured while accessing to the airport network "livebox- XXXX"". Is that can be a problem of security? Maybe the network can't access to my computers keys?
    If someone have an ideas. Thank you much

  • Airport Problems after Security Update 2007-004

    Ever since I've installed Security Update 2007-004 my Airport connection has been dropping about every 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes Airport will stay connected but will stop working until I renew my DHCP lease (I get the same IP though). When it drops I click on the Airport icon to reconnect but my network doesn't always show up. Sometimes I have to turn Airport off and back on again to make it show up, and a few times I've had to reset my computer to make it show up.
    I have a MacBook Pro with an 802.11n card. I'm using two different routers; one at work, and one at home. The work router is a Linksys N router while the one at home is a Linksys G router.
    I've tried all the tricks. Repairing Permissions, deleting the extension caches, installing the standalone updater, but nothing is working.

    Deleting AppleAirPort2.kext solved the problem for some...

  • Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?

    Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
    I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

  • I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back and it will also send my music to the airport express?

    I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back yard and it will boost our wo
    Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

  • ITunes cannot connect to remote speakers / Airport Express

    Hi Guys
    This is a quick post with a problem & solution.
    I've been searching for ages tonight to find a solution to my problem:
    'iTunes suddenly cannot connect to my Airport Express Speakers" and could not find one answer on here, only a mixture of replies all over the net.
    So, just incase some people are still looking for an answer:
    What I did...
    1. Go to System Preferences, Network.
    2. Click Advanced, on the TCP/IP tab, set "Configure IPv6" to Off.
    Open up Airport Utility, go to the Music tab, set a password (I did this just for the sake of seeing whether iTunes noticed that the Airport was now password protected, then atleast you know it's talking!)
    3. Open iTunes, go to preferences.
    4. Click on the devices tab, untick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
    5. Close iTunes
    6. Open iTunes, retick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
    7. Connect to remote speakers worked!

    thanks Simius,
    I just tried what you said to do, i had it in Automatic, but when I momenterely switched to manual the fields were all blank so I left them that way and turned on to automatic as you said and left it in auto, then tried to change itunes speaker to remote airplay and it didn t work.
    so i don t know what else to do, I read alot about this in the last few days the bug seems to be related to the newest itunes upgrade and with the presence of the IP6V not turned off completely.
    in the old system one could turn it off completely, now the off button is gone.
    there are work around using terminal, I tried that but it doens t recognize my commands, so it didn t work either.
    anybody has any idea?
    thansk a lot

  • Itunes 7 won't connect to airport express

    i installed itunes 7.02 and now my airport express won't connect. I've read many of the discussions and have done all of the ipv6 recommendations etc. but to no avail. Very frustrated! Apple screwed up big time.

    Help! ever since i downloaded itunes 7 for windows
    (big mistake, as we all know) it won't connect to the
    air port express. it sees it, attempts to connect,
    but times out every time. anyone have any ideas?
    I have the same problem on one AE unit that is more distant from the base but not on another. It also fails now to connect to Olive Musica in my main listening room. With these problems, I wonder whether an update fix can be far off?

  • ITunes 7.1 doesn't recognize Airport Express over ethernet

    Running iTunes 7.1 on Windows XP desktop. Immediately after update, iTunes no longer can see my Airport Express as a remote speaker (Airtunes over Ethernet).
    Airport Express has the latest updates. Airport Utility has no trouble recognizing it by name. It doesn't have a password on it. The Airport is happily providing wireless for my laptop. It is my only WiFi base station, because I have a small place. It's been dependable for over a year.
    I'm truly bummed, because earlier today I got a Griffin AirClick USB, and it works like a charm. I was looking forward to using it with full-screen coverflow in 7.1.
    iBook G4 and assorted Win & Linux boxes   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes is on an XP PC

    The problem turns out to be an incompatibility with Bonjour for Windows. A post by "f00fighter" over in the "iTunes for Windows Upgrade Issues" forum solved it. I quote him below:
    ******Quote***********
    Looks like this issue is due to an incompatibility between Bonjour for Windows and iTunes 7.1.0.59 for Windows (thanks toonz!)
    To workaround the issue you can stop the Bonjour Service by going to Start \ Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Services, then highlight the Bonjour Service and stop it. You might also want to set the Startup status of the Bonjour Service to Manual (or Disabled) to prevent the service from starting automatically the next time you restart you PC.
    Note - this is only a temporary fix, and turns off the Bonjour service...so don't do this if you have other applications that rely on the Bonjour Service. A fix from Apple is needed to truly "fix" this issue.

  • ITunes on Vista can't see Airport Express

    As above, really. I've got an Airport Express configured to join my wireless network which works fine with my MacBook Air. iTunes on the Air sees the Airport Express and streams to the speakers it's connected to; but iTunes on Vista can't see it.
    My Vista PC is connected by ethernet cable to a DLink router, to which the MacBook Air and the Airport Express connect wirelessly. This setup worked fine with my previous Belkin router.
    Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

    On your Vista PC, temporarily disable your Windows Firewall. Did this solve the problem?
    To disable the Windows Firewall:
    o Control Panel > Network and Internet > Windows Firewall
    o Turn Windows Firewall on or off

    i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically.  a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • Can't communicate with Airport Express after WIN upgrade?

    I upgraded to Windows7-64 from XP and my itunes will not communicate with my airport express. I get a green light on the unit and on AP Utility. Back on iTunes, on the multiple speaker drop down list, the name of my APEx device is displayed with a checkmark but there is a lock symbol over an exclamation mark in a triangle.. Please help.

  • Airport express will not update firmware.

    The unit works fine, it's about one month old. Every time I open up the airport utility it says that 'This Airport Express should be updated to the latest firmware. Current version: 7.4.1 Available version 7.4.2" I've run this update at least four times and every time it completes 'successfully.' Upon returning to the airport utility mainpage, it just says the same thing again. It's just stuck at 7.4.1.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I've been able to fix this issue in the past by doing a factory default reset on the AirPort Express and then updating the firmware before reconfiguring the device.
    To do this, power down the Express
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the device back into power
    Release the reset button after approximately 10 seconds
    You can also return the device to factory defaults when it is selected and you have AirPort Utility already open. From the Base Station menu at the very top of your screen up by the Apple icon, select Restore Default Settings
    It might be a good idea to temporarily connect an ethernet cable from you computer to the Express to help AirPort Utility "discover" the device once you have done the reset.

  • I have bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to print from my IPad. I have installed airport utility on my Hp laptop and it is configured correctly but the printer I have is showing neither on laptop nor on IPad. Can u tell how

    I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?

    Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
    AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
    The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express.
