Itunes wont work with Airport Express

Hi,
I have been having issues with Itunes and Airport Express for years. I got if fixed a year ago through Apple, but now that the new Itunes came out, back to square one and frustrated.
I have an IMAC G5 going wireless to Airport Express. There is nothing in the way and I am 5 feet from the Airport.
We worked on this issue on the phone for literally hours over a 3 day period. I cannot remember exactly how we fixed it, because we changed so many settings.
I am opening Itunes, I can see the choices of my Airport Express or my computer or both, I can click on Airport Express and music will last for several seconds to a minute at the most, then it shuts off. The music will stop streaming, my Airport express will go off line, and Itunes will lock up completely. I have to force Itunes closed, log off Airport, log back in Airport, if I am to get back on line.
The one thing I seem to recollect is we changed some sort of preference where the Airport through some thing was trying to force its way into the network, so it would shut it off from logging into the network. I think we changed something in the log on preferences in system preferences, but I am not sure.
I have no idea how to fix this issue and have worked on it for hours, if anyone KNOWS how to fix it, and I have read / tried about 10 different obsurd ways to fix, please give me the information. I have tried re setting up network, logging off, re installing, you name it, so if you do know for sure how to fix it please give me the information.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

  • We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

    Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

    Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
    a Shutdown computer
    b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
    c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
    d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
    e Wait one minute
    f Turn on computer
    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3

    Is your Touch running iOS 5.n? If so, you can administer the AX with the AirPort Utility which you can download directly from the Apple App Store.

  • Speakers that work with airport express?

    Hello all
    Can anyone recommend small wall mounted speakers that work with airport express?
    Thanks in advance

    I would recommend just about anything from either Bose or Audioengine that are self-powered and provide either analog or digital audio inputs. One example would be the Audioengine A2+ speakers.

  • Does Apple list available printers that work with AirPort Express?

    Just bought an AirPort Express hoping that I could print wirelessly with my HP 1350 All-in-One, and it won't work. Found out after the fact that my printer doesn't support USB wireless printing.
    I'm looking for a basic color printer to work with AirPort Express for wireless printing by other family members, and I'll continue to use my HP 1350 with USB for scanning and OCR functions.
    Does Apple provide a list of recommended printers that will work with AirPort Express?

    No Apple doesn't any more.
    I have been maintaining a community created list.
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1013.html
    This is an unofficial list of USB printers which are are compatible with the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Airport Express. Printers in bold have been added to the original list that Apple provided.
    Printers in dark red are in fact the only printers I have personally tested.
    Please also note that due to changes in the firmware of both the Airport Extreme base station and the introduction of the Airport Express some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible.

  • Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    "You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
    This is what I am trying to understand.
    So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
    Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
    If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
    Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
    The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
    My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
    Any thoughts?

  • Will any non USB printer work with Airport express?

    WIll any non USB based printer work with airport express?

    If you have an iPad, you might want to concentrate on printers that are AirPrint compatible, so that you can print from the iPad.
    See this Apple support document for more details.

  • Printers that work with Airport Express

    I am experiencing problems getting my lexmark p4350 printer to work wirelessly with Airport Express.
    Can anybody tell me of any printer,multifunction device,laser printer that will work with AEX?

    MACMV, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Be aware that ONLY the printing feature of a multifunction device will be usable when connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express (AX).

  • Can't get the Toslink (Optical) out to work with Airport Express

    I have the monster cable hooked up but get no optical out. I hooked up the mini plug to RCA and that works but the optical doesn't. Is there a setting I'm missing. I know the cable is working because I hooked it up to my mini computer and get the red light coming out the end. I don't get any light from the airport expess mini plug to Toslink.

    Same problem here. Just bought an optical cable with the mini toslink connector (to work with the express and computers). I can get audio if I connect the cable to my computer, but no audio from the express. Regular analog audio comes out fine, but I cannot get the optical to work.
    I can't find any preference or setting to change and have tried resetting the base station. Anyone have an idea?

  • Mac OS X not working with Airport Express but Win XP is ok on the same iMac

    Hello everyone,
    as the message says I am having troubles with Airport Express.
    To say it quickly, I live in a house share in London, and everyone in the house enjoys the wifi without troubles. I do as well with my macbook from every point of the house.
    The troubles are with the big iMac: with mac os the internet signal won't just work at all, pages take minutes to load with both safari and firefox, and most of the times the loading times out.
    I thought it was a signal power problem, but the weirdest thing of them all is that... when I switch to Windows XP on the same iMac (and right now I am writing from that!) the internet works perfectly!
    Then I switch to mac os again... and slow internet again!
    Anyone has an idea of what could this be?
    Many thanks for the support

    Yes, I just discovered this problem on my own machine.
    I just wanted to check some settings and discovered that the behaviour of the GUI of Server Admin was somewhat "erratic": First this "no services are configured" message. Some of the configured servers were marked with the usual green "up and running" bullet, others dark grey - those were normally configured and running and clicking the appropriate line seemed to force Server Admin to check the actual state and then turned also green. But sometimes configuration pages were "greyed out", or while switching through the tabs Server Admin claimed that where were "unsaved changes" which should be saved (or discarded).
    And then SMB: this was light grey, as usual when a service is not running and clicking on it I browsed through the configuration tabs - everything seemed ok (all my settings were correctly shown, configured as PDC with right domain name etc.) - and I started the service. Then suddenly the configuration settings changed to the default settings - no more PDC, but a "standalone server" with workgroup name "WORKGROUP"...
    Looks for me, as if Server Admin lost it's "source" file for the configuration (the file in /var/db/smb.conf says, that it is automatically generated -- does somebody were the source file is stored?)...

  • HP DeskJet F380 won't work with Airport Express

    Hello,
    I just purchased a HP DeskJet F380 AIO printer to use with my PBook G4 12". It works fine when connected directly to the PBook through USB, but when I try to use it with Airport Express it won't work. The printer setup utility recognizes the printer as a Bonjour printer but then the specific model won't show up in the pull-down menu. I've tried picking other HP printer models, but when I try to print the printer won't do anything at all. I asked HP support and they basically threw up their hands and gave no assistance.
    How can I make this printer work with Airport?
    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to the Discussions
    Try the process outlined here:

    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html
    If the supplied HP driver won't work (and as there are no third party alternatives available) then no it won't work with Airport.
