My itunes 10 doesn't see remote speakers.

Green light is on...network shows express is there... but it doesn't show up in speaker choices... only appletv and computer show up. Is apple TV a conflict?

I'm having the same problem using Vista Home Premium. It started when I tried to update my iphone, but I needed to have the lastest version of itunes installed. I attempted to install itunes10.5 and it didn't install completely. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it would say it didn't install correctly. I uninstalled it again and now I've been dealing with this issue for over a week now. I even followed the troubleshooting directions regarding which programs to uninstall (itunes, quicktime.....) and did it in the proper order. Please help!

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Re: iTunes 7 for Windows Vista: AirTunes won't connect to remote speakers

I had same frustrating problem.
I was able finally to restore AirTunes.
In Local Area Connection Status.Properties
In the "uses the following Items" list,
Item "Check Point SecuRemote" appears.
This is the VPN CLient that was installed to let me log in to my office network from home.
Uncheck SecuRemote, OK; iTunes Speakers button shows.
Check SecuRemote, OK; iTunes Speakers button disappears.
This looks like a bug in Checkpoint Software.
In your case, something else may be interferring.

Itunes can't see remote speakers

I have an airport express joined to an airport extreme base station network. The airport express's sole function is to attach the stereo. One of my computers that was running 10.4 was controlling the remote speakers --- unfortunately that computer crashed - and i have another computer running 10.3.9 that I wanted to control the stereo with. Even though it is joined to the same network for the internet, it does not see the remote speakers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Same thing happened here on a G5 after i had troubles installing the latest quicktime upgrade vover the last weekend. I have however got this powerbook with leopard and itunes and it works exactly as it could. I have two airport expresses on two hifi's the main one which provides wifi is missing i can get the slave one that bridges the network as wel las serving music to show if i restart it .. but it seems to wither and die from the itunes window without warning
It must be a machine specific thing however, as i have created new logins on the faulty machine and none of them can give me sessions with itunes where remote speakers are restored so the problem must lie closer to root than with user settings.
I am hoping its a stinking flaw with quicktime or itunes as i do not fancy having to restore leopard again after all the nonsense of the first one. I wasted enough time then and i'd like a peaceful christmas listening to my music on my hifi.. the current situation is as perverse as drm

Itunes can't see remote speakers on extended network

i have a peculiar issue that hopefully someone else has come up against: my itunes does not see any remote speakers that are attached to the network via a network extender.
my setup has 3 remote speakers: one immediately next to a d-link router and two that connect via a d-link range extender - all of the speakers are wirelessly connected to their respective devices. when my laptop is near the router (and therefore connecting to that device) itunes can only see the one speaker that is near the router but not the other two. when my laptop is next to the range extender (and therefore connecting via the extender) itunes can only see the two speakers that are connecting through the extender, but not the one connecting via the router.
weird, eh? any thoughts as to how to see all three speakers at once on my itunes?
thanks,
Chris

2 macs, one sees Express in Itunes and one won't see remote speakers

I have a mac mini connected to D-Link router via ethernet and it always sees my remote speakers in Itunes. So I know my airport express hase successfully joined my network. But my Ibook rarely sees the remote speakers in itunes. Sometimes it will if I have itunes running on my mini. I always have a green light and the mini always sees the speakers. But the ibook only intermittenly sees it. Any help? my versions of itunes are updated with every new update and are current as of 1 August 2006

Had same problem and went through an hour-long diagnostic with Apple support, reinstalled all software etc. After sitting and thinking about it, I removed the security from my wirelessrouter, made sure all wireless devices had the same WEP key and then restarted WEP security on the router. Instant fix and praobably didn't need all the wasted time on re-installs !!

ITunes not seeing remote speakers on Airport Express

... but the Airport seems to be set up correctly. "Enable AirTunes" is checked in Airport Utility, and "Look for remote speakers..." is checked in iTunes. The wireless network (WPA2 encryption) is set up through a different Airport Express (we'll call it #1); the new one (#2) is only for streaming to the stereo (cable connection, modem, and Airport Express #1 are at the other end of the house, in the basement). I have a green light on #2, and it shows up fine in Airport Utility.
in the long term, I'm planning to use Airfoil to stream Grooveshark to the stereo - AX #2 shows up in Airfoil's speaker options, but Airfoil can't connect to it, just times out. I figured I'd resolve the issue in iTunes or with the network, then deal with Airfoil if it's still a problem (which I don't think it will be). I've searched the forum, but not found anything quite like this - most people seem to be having problems with iTunes losing a connection, or they at least have the drop-down menu to select remote speakers - I don't even have that. I've seen references to opening a port on the router; I have no idea what that means or how to do it. Any help is appreciated!
thanks,
Andrew

Cannot See Remote Speakers

Downloaded version 6 and can no longer see my remote speakers. Wife has an iBook and it sees the remote speakers so I know our wireless LAN is OK. I've disabled my Firewall and restarted my router and airport express and still cannot see the speaker selection box.
Any thoughts?

Yep, all that checks out. I can stream music to the speakers from my iBook just fine, but the PC Desktop (with the big, fat hard drive filled with all our music) doesn't work as well. The PC won't see the external speakers. Running iTunes from the iBook, I can "see" the PC's music collection, but it only works for, say, ten to fifteen minutes and then the iBook "loses" the PC's music collection.
The PC is connected to an Airport Express for it's internet connection. The internet keeps working fine, so I know it's not a range issue. If I hard-connect the PC with an ethernet cable to the main Airport, I suspect it will work fine (haven't tried that since moving this summer, but it worked that way in the old place). Also, if I reset all the Airport Express components, essentially rebuilding the wireless network, then I suspect the PC will "see" the speakers for a short while and then lose them again. Haven't tried that in a few months, when I last got disgusted with the issue.
From what I read on here I suspect it's a bug with iTunes for Windows. Is there any way to send a bug report to Apple?

ITunes can't connect to remote speakers PLUS Airport Express p/word problem

I am running iTunes 7.4.1 and have previously been able to play iTunes through remote speakers via an Airport Express . After upgrading iTunes some time ago, I am unable to connect to the AE any more. The AE shows as an option in my iTunes window, but when I select it from the drop down option box bottom right, it just doesn't choose it.
I have read other discussions pertaining to this, and have followed all of those solutions, but to no avail.
I have done a hard reset on the AE restoring it's factory settings thinking I should just start again, and it has been renamed "Base Station Oa369f" so I know this has worked, but when I try to reconfigure it through Airport Utility, it asks for a password. I tried it's old password, and also tried the generic one "public" as stated in the AE setup guide, but it rejects both.
I am keen to figure this out as I'm about to buy a new printer and another AE so I can print wirelessly, but don't want to have the same issues if it's an AE bug that can't be fixed, I would be left with no printer!
I know this is two quite separate problems, but if anyone has any ideas for either I would be really grateful.
Thanks very much

I have exactly the same problem which has been driving me nuts for the last couple of days. However I am able to access the dropdown list of speakers. I have mine set to multiple speakers, and now it WILL play through my Airport Express again, but only when playing through the internal speakers at the same time. When I try to play solely through the Airport Express it just hangs.
Come on Apple, you need to be regression testing your upgrades far better than this, for something so basic to go wrong.

Itunes (MAc & Windows) shows no remote speakers using AIrport Express

I have both a Win XP PC and a Powerbook G4 connected to a wireless network using a D-Link DI-624 router. Both computer can connect to the internet, the Powerbook is connected wirelessly.
I've set-up my airport express on the wireless network using a static IP adress, and it gives me a solid green light. Airport Express firmware is 6.3 and it is configured as a client on the network.
I can not access the remote speakers on iTunes on either the Mac or the PC. Both computers have the "Search for remote speakers" checked in iTunes. I've tried everything, including re-booting etc. but with no luck.
Does any one have any ideas? Could a port in the D-Link router be blocking access, since both computers are unable to see the remote speakers?

Problem solved.. The unit wasn't getting the correct IP adress. I re-configured using DHCP and it worked.

Win XP : problems for itune to connect the airport remote speakers

Hi there,
My config is iTunes installed on my PC, a Tecom wifi router and two airport express base stations connected to speakers in different rooms of my flat.
At first, iTunes has no problem for seeing the airport stations and the music goes well through the wifi.
After two or three days, the PC doesn't see the stations anymore in iTunes (they actually still show, but in gray) .
If I want them to be seen again, I need to close iTunes, go to "connexions", disconnect my PC from the network, connect again, run iTunes again, and then... it works !
That's a bit boring. As strange as it could be, the act of shuting down my PC every night and running it "fresh" every morning doesn't help.
Has any one any suggestion on how it could work better ?

Hello Deb Parks. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure if, by product key, you mean the encryption password for your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) wireless network. Is your AEBSn's wireless network currently running encryption (WEP or WPA)? If so, temporarily disable it, and then, see if the PC can connect.

Using apple remote with iTunes 9 and airport express/remote speakers

Hi,
Does anyone know why the apple remote will control the hardware volume for the speakers on my mac, but when playing via the airport express connected to remote speakers why doesn't it control the volume slider in iTunes?
This would be really useful as at present I need the apple remote to control track selection and play/pause, but another remote to control volume.
If it isn't possible now, can Apple please add it to the pile of suggestions for the next version build of iTunes?
Many thanks

ITunes not connecting to AirTunes remote speakers after upgrade to 7.6.1

Hi
I've just noticed that iTunes is refusing to connect to my AirPort Express. Or rather, it's ignoring me when I ask it to connect; it's as if I didn't select the remote speakers at all. It is displaying them in the remote speakers menu, and allowing me even to bring up the "multiple speakers" option, but won't respond to me selecting them). It's only started doing this since the update to 7.6.1.
The problem is not with the AirPort unit; my partner's MacBook running 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6 will connect to it happily (thankfully she hasn't updated to 7.6.1 yet).
Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this simply a bug I need to report to the good people at Apple?
Thanks in advance.

Not working here either on v7.6.1.
Doesn't always find Airtunes speakers, works for a bit, then playback hangs at 0:00.
Quitting and restarting iTunes seems to get it (temporarily) working again.
Also, the iTunes volume control is broken - it plays at 100% volume regardless of volume setting and regardless of whether the "Disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers" option is checked.
All in all, a very poor release.

Itunes no longer shows my remote speakers

Since loading leapard my remote speaker option in itunes has gone. Airport utility now longer shows my two airport express base stations which I use for streaming my music. Only my AEBS shows in the utility. Can anyone offer advice please.

Hi,
I have the same problem but managed to solve a small part of it, namely the AEX not showing in Airport Utility. If you join your Mac via ethernet cable to the AEX it will be seen in the Airport Utility and can be configured.
Unfortunately - at least in my case - iTunes still does not recognise the remote speakers after the procedure.
Cheers,
Ruth

ITunes error when connecting to remote speakers

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes, 8.0.1. I am now unable to connect to my remote speakers via the Airport Express base station and get an error message each attempt.
The error reads, "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speakers. An unknown error occurred (-3256)."
I've power cycled the base station, checked all the wires, and secretly hoped Apple would release an update that fixes the issue. So far nothing.
Anyone know how to fix this? I'm stumped.
thanks...

I have the same problem since downloading the update. I'm running 3 Airport Express base stations around the house, all connected to different speaker systems. What's really weird is that one works no problem and the other two give me this -3256 error message when I try to connect. I've done all the usual resets but to no avail. I'd hoped that the latest update may have solved this problem.
Sorry that I can't offer a fix, but if you have any luck I'd be grateful to hear.
