Multiple speaker locations - Airport Express

Got a 12" Powerbook hard-cabled to the internet, two
Express base stations, both controlling separate
powered speakers, in separate rooms.
Please tell me how to connect to both at the same.
I've got iTunes 7.0.1, and the firmware for my AP
card is 405.1.
Ensure that your Airport Express units have firmware 6.3.
You need to be running Airport Express Firmware 6.3 and iTunes 6.0.2 or later.
From the Airport Express FAQ

Question: Can iTunes send a single AirTunes stream to multiple AirPort Express stations?
Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware 6.3. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

Multiple Speakers on Airport Express

Hi everyone
I have recently purchased a second Airport Express so I can now stream my music to 2 different locations in my apartment. In iTunes I now have the option of streaming to Multiple Speakers. When I try to select this option only one of my Airport Express Stations will allow multple speakers to be played. I get the errors message
"....The current remote speaker Paul's Lounge does not support playback as part of a group..."
Is this due to the fact that the Airport Express is slightly olders - I didn't know there was an update to the cababilities of this model. Or can this be remedied with a firmware update of some kind.
I hope someone can help as I'd love to have music playing in my Lounge and Bedroom simultaneously.
Many thanks
Paul

Hello Paullyk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is this due to the fact that the Airport Express is slightly olders - I didn't know there was an update to the cababilities of this model. Or can this be remedied with a firmware update of some kind.
To support multiple speakers, the AX must be running v6.3+ firmware & iTunes v6.0.2+.
(ref: AirPort: Which version of firmware is on the base station?)

Apple TV and multiple speakers on Airport express

Hi,
I'm using Apple TV3 and 10.8.3 Mac with Itunes 11 and would like the flim audio to play on multiple (3) airport express' with speakers attached around the room all on same Wifi.
Is this possible?
Thanks

As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

Can't locate AirPort express

I have a brand new MacBook, and a 'new' refurbished AirPort Express both of which I just got at the beginning of July. After initially receiving the Express, it took a half day but I set it up and it had been working with no problem. Then last week, a window popped up and asked if I wanted to change my security settings to WAP2 Personal, I said yes not really knowing the difference. After that, I lost my connection. I've been trying to re-set up my Express, but whenever I go to AirPort Utility, it says that there it can't locate a device (I'm 2 feet from the Express). I have tried resetting the device multiple times, I've also reset my modem multiple times, still it can't locate the Express. HELP!!!

mandapanda08, Welcome to the discussion area!
Then last week, a window popped up and asked if I wanted to change my security settings to WAP2 Personal...
That is an extremely strange dialog to get. Are you certain that is the dialog you saw?
I think the only way that you would see that dialog is if your Mac couldn't detect your network and was trying to connect to a different wireless network.

Mac mini unable to locate airport express

Since getting new modem from Comcast Xfinity, Mac mini (Airport Utility) has been unable to locate Airport Extreme and Airport Express. Can anyone help?

OK, you have a choice you cannot use the Extreme as an extender, you can use it as your primary router or use the Comcast device as your primary router. If you choose to use the Extreme as your primary router then you need to call Comcast and ask them how to turn off the router abillities on their device. If you want to use the Comcast's router then you need to remove the Extreme from the equation and use the Express as an extender.

Itunes remote speaker using Airport Express and Extreme

I have purchased an Airport Extreme and Airport Express, so I can listen Itunes music on my stereo system. For some reason, there is simply no remote speaker selection button on the bottom right of the Itunes windows. Does it has to do with the fact that I am using an old Mac OS X?
My Macmini has no airport card, so I connected the ethernet to the Airport extreme, and plugged the Airport express few feet from the base. Nothing but an orange tilting light comes out of the little box. I can surf the net perfectly but the Itunes is ignoring all my investment on the couple of Airport boxes i purchase...What I am doing wrong?

Yes, I thought that purchasing the Airport extreme as
the ethernet interfase directly connected to the
MacMini, was almost the same as having the airport
card inside the Mini. Where did I get lost?? I have
the extreme directly to the mini, and an express
plugged somewhere close and nothing happens...
The problem is that the mini can only stream iTunes to an Airport Express via Airport. While you have connected it to an Airport basestation, as far as the mini is concerned, it is working via ethernet because that's how the data is leaving the system. It doesn't have an Airport card, thus it can't stream iTunes content to an Airport Express.

Multiple speakers for airport express

I'm trying to connect multiple speakers from my Itunes but I can't get it to work. I can get one or the other to work but I can't get both to work at the same time. I updated the software for A-express, still doesn't seem to work. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
thanks

Hi
I have been having the same problem since I purchased an Airport Express. You can select one or the other speakers, but an error message comes up if you try and select both.
It is rather more annoying given that I have 'remote' on my iPod Touch which completely locks up if you try and change the speakers.
I have had no luck getting Apple to understand the issue - despite several emails and phone conversations with support. Ultimately I consider it to be a software development issue.
Hopefully they are reading these posts!!

Multiple Broadcasts using Airport Express

Can I use more than one Airport Express to play a single Itune source in several rooms each equipped with a its own Airport Express. If so up to how many rooms and how do I set up network.

Is these any chance? Possibly, but also possibly not with the current Airport Express design. The problem with streaming to multiple Airport Express devices would be in keeping the sound output from all of them in sync - a bigger technical challenge than you might first imagine.
Only Apple and is product developers know the real answer to this question - but since Apple never pre-announces upcoming hardware or software products, we won't know until the day an official announcement from Apple is made.

Multiple Printers with Airport Express

Is it at all possible to hook up two printers to my airport express with a USB hub? If so, how. Thanks.

Hello Chad Jones3. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is it at all possible to hook up two printers to my airport express with a USB hub? If so, how.
Sorry, but no. The AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) USB port will only support a single USB printer. USB hubs, let alone multiple printers are not supported.

TS1398 ipad2 can't locate airport express

I am using an Ipad2 and attempting to connect via wi-fi to the internnet. Wi-fi router is an airport express, but the ipad2 cant "find" or locate the wireless
network.

Are you using a reasonably recent AirPort Express? Is its firmware up to date? Have you gone through the "Firmware Updates" article linked to the article you attached above? Here's the link:

Make sure your AirPort Express is up to date.

Multiple Printers on AirPort Express 802.11n

I know the literature on the OLD airport express said that you could not connect multiple printers via a USB hub. Is this possible on the new version, released 3/17/08?
It would really be outstanding...
Also, any Apple techs out there know why we don't see airtunes on the Extreme Base Stations or Time Capsule?
Thanks.

I just bought an AXP at a local Apple Store. While there, I was told multiple printers would work, wouldn't work, not to try it and that it might work by several different employees. I bought it since I could try it and exchange it for an AXT if it didn't do this properly.
I now have an Epson 2200 and a Brother MFC 9700 connected and printing perfectly. They both show up as Bonjour printers. The only problem I had was adding the 2200 to one of our computers. For some reason I kept getting errors at first. Then I hit the Auto Select button for the drivers and it added properly. I don't know why this happened, since I used the default all along, there you go.

HT4587 I can't locate airport express icon in itunes to connect my remote speakers wirelessly, can anyone help please?

Can anyone help please? I am trying to connect my remote speakers to my i-tunes library using Airport Express. Everything is connected and working using mt OS device (Ipod Touch 5th Generation) that works fine. I have tuned on home sharing and it says in itunes preferences that I am paired but according to the light on the airport express base station I am not connected to my existing wi-fi network. I cannot find the itune airplay icon anywhere in itunes nor can I find the network link by hovering my pointer of the network connections as suggested in the instructions that came with airport express. Would apprecaite some help please you can give. - thank you.

hmmmmm.
i'm not trying to get rid of you here, but it might be worth also checking-in/reposting over at the Airport for Windows forum. when Airtunes things get sticky, i generally defer to iFelix or RJ in WI, and they spend a lot more time over there than they do here.
(traffic is so heavy in here at the moment that this thread might be buried out of sight before an AirTunes guru gets to see you.)

How to connect to multiple speakers using Airport Express

Hi -- I have two AP Express modules setup and working in my household. I have no problems using either from my iBook G4.
How do I use them both at the same time? I cannot find an appropriate way to set this up?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Since you are at 10.4.7, I'm assuming iTunes is at least 6.0.2. If not, upgrade the app via Software Update or Apple's iTunes site to the latest v 6.0.5.
Since both units work individually, I'd say the problem lies in how the 2 units are configured. Are you using the latest 6.3 firmware for Airport express? To determine your version, download the firmware, select install. The ensuing panel will tell you the latest version for your units. Upgrade if you are using an earlier version of the firmware.
Post back with results.

IMac cannot locate airport express

I've read other threads with similar problems but can't find this specific issue.
Overnight my iMac (2.8ghz intel core i7, os 10.6.8) stopped finding my wifi network. Last night fine, this morning nothing. Rescanning with Airport Utility results in "unable to detect any airport wireless devices..." My iPad and iPod and Roku all connect fine, and the Airport has green light.
I connected the Airport to the iMac with Ethernet, and it still did not recognize the Airport.
I'm at a loss. I don't see a need to reset the Airport since it is working with my other devices. Did my iMac's wifi ability just die overnight

At this point, I would suggest that you perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). This would get the AX back to its out-of-the-box configuration.
You may need to perform this a couple of time to make sure it "sticks." After the resets, you should be able to access from the AirPort Utility to configure it as required.

Multiple Speakers with Airport Express

Since the release of iTunes sometime back in feb/mar, I'm so happy to be able to stream music through multiple speakers in different rooms in my house. However, since I installed the latest iTunesSetup dated 2006-06-28 release v6.05, I am unable to play to more than 1 set of speakers, sometimes even only limited to "My Computer". The error message was something like 'could not access the speaker'.
I've also doublechecked latest firmware and there was none released after http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63forwindows. html
I don't see anyone here with similar problems since there seems to be none posted after Jun 28 on this issue.
Can any expert help?

# Click the Firewall tab.
# Click the Advanced button.
# Make sure that the option to "Block UDP Traffic" is not selected.
Thks so much for the reply! My PCs are behind the router and the firewall is not on in this case. I do use the zonealarm normally for other PCs.
As far as I know, on XPProSP2 we can unblock UDP traffic and normally need to specify which ports though, not universal unblock.
Any other clues?
