Itunes will not stream to airport express from iMac. It will work from and HP laptop any reason why?

Problem with Itunes on the iMac. I bought airport express to setream music to my stereo. When I set it up  on the iMac (using an ethernet connection) it dropped my internet connection on the router. When I use the Wifi  it just times out. I tried using the airport express from my laptop, it worked just fine. I called apple for support and they  have not beeen able to help, and I am now 79 dollars in the hole because they suggested I call cisco. I have also spent 6 hours on the phone. any Help would be appreciated.

I got it to work. Turns out there are a few steps that should be taken during the install of ariport express. We have 4 users on our iMac, one being the Administrator, one a guest, and 2 users. After I closed all the applications for each users and logged them off, I was able to connect sucessfully to Airport Express and stream music to my Stereo. Seams simple, but someting we did not look at in my 6 hour marathon yesterday trying to find the reason it did not work.

  • Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

    Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
    iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

    I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

  • OSX 10.8.2 will not airplay to airport express

    I am running 10.8.2 on my Late 2011 Macbook and a MacMini (2013).  I have no problems viewing or accessing all of my airiplay devices within itunes.  However, I am unable to airplay (pandora) to the airport express devices only. I can stream to the apple tv's just fine?  I also am able to airplay from ios to all devices with no problems.
    Thanks,

    Is the AirPort Express a first generation?  I don't believe Mountain Lion can AirPlay to a first generation AirPort Express.
    If it's not first generation, inspect it (the AirPort Express) using the current AirPort Utility from the MacBook Air.  Make sure it has the latest firmware.

  • Iphone will not recognize an Airport Express extending a wireless network

    Hi. I asked elsewhere in the support community and someone suggested I also ask here. I have two Airport Expresses, one in my living room that is creating a wireless network, and another in the back of my house, extending a wireless network so it will reach in to the back yard. The one in the living room is the new 2012 model, and the one in back is the pre-2012 model. They both have the latest firmware, and I configured them both using the Airport Utility, and can confirm they are working as configured, to create and extend a wireless network.
    My mid-2010 Macbook with Lion shifts between devices effortlessly, switching to the stronger signal when I move between the house and the back yard. I can verify this by selecting Option+Click on the wireless widget in the menu bar and checking the BSSID against the Airport Utility. But the signal from the living room unit still reaches in to the back yard, and as far as I can tell, and the iPhone 4S cannot recognize the existence of the extending unit (outside of the Airport Utility). I know the former is a well-known problem, the iPhone is unique in that it will annoyingly hold on to the existing connection for dear life, even when a stronger one is available. I thought I could work around that by power cycling or disabling/reenabling Wi-Fi when out of range of the living room unit to get around that problem but even that doesn't work.
    When I go some place out of range of the living room unit but still within line of sight of the back yard unit, say the neighboring field, the laptop can connect to the back yard unit with about -75 RSSI, but the iPhone does not even see the wireless network. Even after a power cycle at that location. If I approach my back yard from the field while constantly scanning Wi-Fi (switching between the front pane in the Settings app and the Wi-Fi pane), the iPhone does not see my network until it sees the living room unit, at which point it tries to connect, and the Airport Utility shows the iPhone is connected to the living room unit, not the back yard unit. This is in contrast to the Macbook which both sees the extending Airport and happily connects to it when it has better signal than the living room unit.
    Any idea why the iPhone cannot see the extending Airport Express but the Macbook can?

    Anyone? Has anyone had experience with this problem? I've reset the extending Airport and reapplied the settings and still have the same problem.

  • ITunes can not find my airport express

    Hi I'm having a lot of issues trying to setup my airport express.
    It's wired to my 3com router, on my computer, using airport utility 5.6.1 for windows, I can manually access to the airport express configuration, but the automatic scan can't find it. I put it on bridge mode.
    With the computer I can connect wiressly to the airport express or the router (on both cases I can use the ip of the airport expess to access it).
    Itunes refuses to find it. On the airport express I enabled the airplay check and on itunes the " allow itunes audio control from remote speakers".
    What else do I need to do to listen to my itunes music from the speakers connected to my airtunes express?
    Thanks.

    I was able to fix it, the problem was that I used a VM and the virtual ethernet connected to the airport was not the same as the one mapped to the wireless connection.

  • ITunes doesn't stream to airport express remote speakers

    Hi,
    Since I updated iTunes (v8.0) I can't stream audio to my remote speakers via airport express.
    The remote speakers are visible in iTunes, I can select them but airtunes can't connect. I don't get an error message, after a few seconds iTunes plays the music with my PC speakers. I did a firmware update for AX and had the latest version of the airport utility. I did a hardware reset and reconfigured the AX. I disabled the firewall. Nothing helps... Any suggestions?

    The next time you are in iTunes, click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen. You should be able to see your remote speakers and your computer speaker. Click so that both are on. Can you connect?

  • Old Airport card (b protocol) will not connect to Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have an one year old Intel IMac running OS/X 10.5.7 and recently bought the Airport express. Setup went smooth and fast and within 10 minutes it was working. I did all the software and firmware updates.
    Then I connected my wife's Windows laptop, network was detected and the password was accepted immediately so I got that connected as well.
    Last, but apparently not least, I tried to connect my G3 iBook running OSX 10.2.8 with an Airport card (not the extreme but the predecessor) so I could use that one in the garden but it will not connect.
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    When I use the Airport Setup assistant to establish the connection if tells me that "the password you entered was incorrect".
    I was told that the Airport Express station is able to use a 801.11b protocol since that is what the old card uses.
    I checked the password, I used textedit to type it first and the 'cut and paste' but nothing seems to work.
    Long story but I hope I gave enough information for someone to resolve this problem for me. I cannot reply immediately to all replies but I will read them all.
    Thank you,
    Henk

    Hello CarreraHenk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    Which wireless encryption standard are you using on your new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network ... WEP, WPA or WPA2?
    For WPA, the minimum requirements are the AirPort Card & OS X 10.3.n. The AirPort Card will not support WPA2.

  • IPad2 will not connect to Airport Express.

    Hi,
    I'm now experiencing problem when trying to connect my iPad2 running on iOS 5.1.1 to my Airport Express. It has been connecting automatically for the past one year. This morning instead of connecting automatically the setting/WiFi menu prompt me to set up an airport base station. When I tapped the AirPort Express tab it then shows a pop-up with the message, "This AirPort Express named .... cannot be set up by this software. Go to apple.com/support/airport".
    I've tried several times to reconnect as well as set up the airport base station. I even tried a reset/forced shut down on my iPad. Each time I got the same pop-up message.
    Curiously, I have no problem connecting to the same airport base station using my MacBook. It works and connects to the internet just fine.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem and found the solution?
    Thanks for your attention and assistance.
    Yudhi

    Hi,
    I don't have answer for you but I tried all the same things as you but still have difficulty. It's funny that we have the same laptop and not being able to get Ipads recognised. If you get a reply I will be most interested
    Good luck

  • TC will not communicate with Airport Utility error -6753.  Wireless, internet (unsecure), and backup work fine., ,

    TC is not communicating with Airport Utility (error -6753).  I do have a flashing amber light.   The wireless (printer, TiVo), internet (unsecure), and backups to Time Capsule work fine.  I have done many hard and soft Resets, but that has not helped.  Airport utility show the TC as amber and but won't let me findout the status of what is causing the problem.  

    What mode is the TC running in, router or bridged? You can sometimes have issues if the TC is bridged and the network is getting IP in a different subnet.
    I would recommend disconnecting the TC from the network and plugging it directly into the Mac via ethernet. You may also need to do a reset if the dhcp is off, as in bridge.
    Also note are you pressing the reset for long enough that the led on front starts blinking rapidly.. hold it in for 15sec to be sure.

    Wow. You are confusing me. Your profile says that you are running Lion OS X 10.7.2 which is the latest Mac OS. Had I known that you were trying to use an OS that didn't meet the requirements .....
    You may be able to still buy Leopard - but you can't download it for free. You may still be able to purchase Snow Leopard which would be the better choice - 10.6. You need to ugrade the mini in order to activate the iPad.
    I am still mystified as to why the iPad will not work out of the box - unless you did not buy it from Apple. All of the iPads that Apple sells now run iOS 5 and you don't need a computer to activate them.

  • Wireless iBook not connecting to Airport Express

    As in previous discussions i've seen, all of a sudden my iBook which i have used for quite some time now without any major problems will not find my airport express wirelessly, i am using a router and the same connection for my desktop (hardwired) and the desktop works 100%, i've even replaced the cable from the router to my Airport Express and when I take the very same cable that goes from the router to the AE but plug it straight into my iBook it works 100%, but when plugged into the "AE" the iBook is not finding it, or actually it does come up in the list of available wireless ports (I live in new York city so there's a bunch on there at any given time) but it does find mine automatically as it used to, but when I try to connect to it when i find it in the list, it says "There was an error joning the AirPort network"... if i hit 'try again' several times it it will evntually (somrtimes after 3 tries othertimes after 30 tries)... but even after it says in the menue bar that I am connected with 100% strength, nither iTunes Air tunes finds the AE connection nor Safari (which says "You are not connected to the internet.")
    At the browsers suggestion i then go to the network diagnostics and run through the prompts, until it gets to the 'Select AirPort network" window and nothing shows up.
    Then i tried the AirPort Admin utility and it does not find my base station either.
    My connection to the internet is 100% without the AE, so obviously something is wrong with my iBook airport card or the AE itself.
    Yesterday I uplaoded the newest software 6.2 then reset the AE and actually it worked 2 sessions, then I got back on later in the evening and was having all the same problems...
    so I read on these discussions that going back to 6.1.1 was what was helping others, well so far it has made no difference here.
    that said the signal that it did find after trying again and again and that does show up in the pulldown signal menue drops off eventually... and all this while still not being able to connect to the internet or airtunes wirelessly. and again all the while my connection on my desktop (hardwired through the same router) works 100% (I have verizon DSL and it's pretty great.
    THE AIRPORT EXPRESS GREEN LIGHT IS ON as well.
    I have not done a 'hard 5 second re-set" of the AE becuae i thought it might be difficult to imput all the settings all over again, since i did not set it up myself originally... is this my only choice? can some one give me any other ideas? thank you.

    Glen,
    I feel your pain buddy - same issue here. I have a PG G4 running AE as well. I have internet through Comcast which is coming from the wall, into the modem, and then to the AE. I have faced similar problems as you at least twice in the past three days. Tonight I went to check my e-mail after reading for a couple hours and my drop-down showed a check next to my network, the AE status light was green, and it looked fine. However, when I went to check e-mail I was not connected and same thing with internet. I finally launched Airport Admin Utility and my base station did not show up in the source list - hmmmm?
    I am a little concerned about this myself because it is frustration. If you push the reset button on your base station while it's still plugged into power and hold it down for five seconds it will go through a "hard" reset (keep in mind this is not the same as a "factory default" reset). Have you done this before? It takes about 45 seconds. When done and the status light is back to green, you can join the Apple network _______ (some strange numbers) from your airport drop down and then launch Apt. Admin Utility. When you double click on your base station from the admin utility it will come up with a list of profiles. It will allow you to select your previous saved profile from a list. Click on your previous profile, click OK, and the AE will reset with your previous settings. This has gotten mine back up and running, but it's a littl disconcerting that it's happened so much
    Any other thoughts out there? Anyone else having these problems and have suggestions for troubleshooting?
