ITunes show Airport Express Speakers but will not allow me to choose them

Hi, I just installed and updated my 802.11g airport express. When I open iTunes (version 9- just updated today), I am able to see the speaker selector option on the bottom right of the screen. When I open it, the choice for my laptop speakers and airport speakers both appear; however, only the laptop speakers can be chosen. I am unable to choose the airport speakers at all. I have downloaded all of the latest firmware/software I can think of for both iTunes and the airport express. Please help!!!

After months of having this problem (and a few unsuccessful hours at the Genius Bar), I finally found a fix.
In AirPort Utility, I updated the firmware.
I redid a bunch of other settings, too. Updated to latest iTunes (9), reset my preferences in Security (via Control Panel) and reset the remote speaker option through iTunes (preferences, advanced). But, it was the firmware update that finally got it to work. Sorry I can't be more specific - I'm not a computer buff. Good luck!
Dang, I hate updates.

  • Airport Express working - but will not connect to the internet

    I cannot get my airport express to connect to the internet although I have a green light on my base station and the cable company has confirmed that we are definitely connected to the internet. My kids can play xbox live - so I know for sure it is not an issue with our internet provider. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this issue?
    Thanks.

    Are you asking the make/model of the computer or the AX base station?
    Neither, I was interested in the make/model of the cable modem.
    Our ethernet connection was fried in an electrical storm so we had to go wireless.
    Electrical storms are never a good thing when it comes to electronics. What was/is your current network configuration? Is it something like the following?
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > AX > (wireless) > wireless devices
    Is there another router, other than the AX, in the configuration? ... or an Ethernet switch? I'm just trying to understand your network to best advise you on how to configure the AX.

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
    You can manage your Apple ID here:

  • My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!

    My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
    I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any.

    Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any. If I use the bookmarks all of the websites open perfectly. I've closed Firefox down and opened again and a message says "how embarassing" and tells me to restore or start a new session. Have tried both but still will not let me open any websites on the google search page.

    . I did however, delete the majority of my photos off of iPhoto after I backed them up because I needed room in my library.
    exactly how did you delete these photos?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

  • My windows is stuck during bootcamp and says i need to eject disk but will not allow me to. How can I eject disk?

    Deauthorizing the computer will only cause you to have to enter a password to play iTunes Store purchases on that computer. It doesn't have anything to do with media thats synced to the iPod, other than the account user name is synced too.
    Check this Apple document out -> Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers
    If you want to delete the music library on your device and make the new computer its "home" computer, choose Erase and Sync. iTunes will delete all songs and playlists on your device, and then will copy the music library and playlists from the new home computer to your device.
    If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.
    Notes:
    Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your device. However, if you are legally allowed to transfer song files, you can use your iPod as a hard disk3. An exception is the transfer purchases feature, which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to an authorized computer from your device.

  • Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Thanks!

    Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
    But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
    Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
    And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.
