"No speakers connected to AirTunes device"

is the message I keep getting when trying to connect to my Express w/ iTunes 7. Never had a problem connecting until iTunes 7, now it won't work. I know there are bugs, but is there any solution to this?

go to your network preferences, for your Airport settings go to the TCP/IP tab - you have to enable the IP V6 settings - you probably have this 'disabled' - set it to 'automatic'.

  • AirPort Express connected, but AirTunes doesn't connect to speakers

    Hi all,
    I purchased AirPort Express to get my iTunes sounds onto my stereo.
    My WIN7 PC is wired to a Netgear DG834 wireless router. I setup wireless connection between Router and APExpress - light on device is green. So far so good.
    iTunes shows my living room speakers and my PC speakers. When I select the living room speaker, it starts to search but after a while stops it without getting connection.
    Am I too stupid? Any idea getting this running are highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Ok, let's double-check your AX's settings for iTunes streaming:
    AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Netgear's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>

    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

  • Since installing Airport Express wireless connection to other devices keeps being dropped

    Our home network consists of my MacBook Pro 15", my wife's quite old Compaq notebook, an Apple TV, and recently, an Airport Express.
    The router is one that was provided by our ISP, Alice/O2 in Germany. I think it is made by Siemens but its model name is Alice IAD 4421 WLAN (in case anyone in Germany is reading this.)
    My MacBook connects to the WiFi broadcast perfectly every time, as did my wife's Windows laptop until recently. Between our two machines there was a total of one single occasion where the signal dropped, and a restart of the router got it back up and runnning.
    The Apple TV was set up without any problems at all, the wireless connection dropped out once over the space of 6 weeks.
    About 5 days ago, I bought and installed an Airport Express which has so far served the sole function of providing Airplay to 2.0 speakers in the kitchen, so I just selected 'join network' when setting it up in Airport Utility.
    Since it was installed, video playing over Airplay to the Apple TV keeps stopping, with the message 'Apple TV is not connected to the internet', the AE itself suffers from dropouts in audio, (the LED has always stayed solid green) and my wifes notebook can only join the network after she has restarted it.
    A restart of the router helps for about an hour, but the problems keep recurring.
    Does anyone have any idea of any changes I can make to the AE settings, as it seems to be the cause of the dodgy connections to the other devices?

    Hello mathias1711. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings for streaming iTunes ...
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    To set up AirTunes on the AX, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:

  • Internet radio thru   iTunes to speakers connected to Express

    I want to listen to Internet radio on a remote amplified speaker.
    So how do I create the following topology?
    Online radio(MP3)--internet--ethernet--MAC(itunes)--Express--speaker
    I can play the radio(MP3) on the MAC local speakers.
    When I tell iTunes to select the Express I loose the ethernet connection to the radio.

    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)

  • Getting "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device " device-name "

    For the past several years, I have had a stereo receiver hooked up to and airport express to stream music wirelessly from my iMac to stereo speakers.  All of a sudden, I started getting the message "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device "<device-name>".  So, what changed, we recently changed ISP from Verizon DSL to RCN cable, I changed my Apple ID (due to the ISP change), I upgraded all computers to OS X Lion, and I have a new iPhone5.  I can't tell you exactly when during the process things went bad, but I can tell you what I have done to solve the problem:
    I checked that my devices are configured correctly. The network layout is as follows: I have an Airport Express on the 3rd floor of my house, along with the iMac containing the iTunes library, I have an Airport Express on the 2nd floor acting as a repeater, I have an Airport Express on the 1st floor acting as a repeater and connected to my stereo receiver and 4 speakers.  I control which set of speakers is "on" via the receiver.
    I checked that I can get sound out of the speakers via the receiver by selecting FM and got radio to play, so I believe the receiver is ok.
    I swapped this receiver with another receiver and got no sound and still the message "there are no speakers connected..."
    I moved the Airport Express from the AUX port to the TAPE2 port to check the port.  Still no sound.
    I checked the cable with a Bose box and got sound, so I believe the cable is ok.
    I plugged a headset directly into the Airport Express and got no sound.
    I swapped the 2nd floor and 1st floor Airport Express units, reconfigured the new 1st floor unit to turn on Air Play and still get no sound and the error message.
    I am controlling the music using the Remote app on my iPhone.  I have configured the new device to use this library.
    I am tired, confused and at a loss.  What can be going on here?

    All that I can suggest is that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express to wipe the current settings and set it up again.
    If you are still having problems after that, you need to take the Express to an Apple Store or Apple Servicer near you to let them have a look at what I suspect is a defective AirPort Express.

  • Can bluetooth connect to 2 devices simultaneously? speakers & mouse

    I am planning to buy a bluetooth laptop mouse and also good room speakers that offer bluetooth connectivity (so that i can use my macbook as well as my iphone with them). Now, will my mouse and speakers connect to my macbook at the same time?
    Neerav Kothari

    Bluetooth networks are composed of up to 8 devices (counting the computer). Yet, the bandwidth is limited. Anyway I would not advise you to use bluetooth/usb speakers at all. Use a wired speaker to the speaker port. Good speakers and bluetooth just do not go hand in hand. If you require quality use the digital optical connection

  • How to use airplay speakers in multi-output device without crackling audio?

    Hi,
    I would like to mirror the audio output from my mac mini to the built-in output and an airplay speaker.
    Therefore I added a Multi-Output Device containing  the Built-in- and Airplay output, as soon as I activate the airplay speaker the sound is mirrored but unfortunately always with a crackling sound coming of the speakers set as "slave Device"... only the Device set as "Master Device" has clear sound, doesn't matter if it's the airplay speaker or the speaker (or headphone) directly connected to the built-in output.
    I've tested this with a mac mini and an mac book air as audio source, same problem. Both were running Mac OS V. 10.9.2.
    Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
    Greets
    Chris

    I'm using a 2011 Macbook Pro running Mavericks and current Apple TV (MD199HK/A 3rd generation) when trying to output audio to both Apple TV and built-in output simultaneously I suffer crackling and popping. I have this issue once I use Audio MIDI Setup (under utilities) to create a Multi-Output Devise. Once I use this multi-output devise made up of Apple TV and Built-In Output to get my music to both output devises at once BUT I get crackling sound on either Spotify or iTunes.
    I've worked around this issue by using AirParrot. I select Apple TV in AirParrot with Audio enabled. The Apple TV then takes all audio output, then I select the 'Multi-Output Devise created in 'Audio MIDI Setup' and I have playback through Apple TV and Built-In Output without any crackling or popping.
    Only minor outstanding issue is that whatever scenario I then run Audio Midi Setup in terms of setting various devises as Master Clock and resampling of sub devise I can't perfect the sync between Apple TV audio output and my local Macbook Pro, but close enough with the slightest hint of echo. Plenty of forums discussing Word Clock sync which is out of my league. Un-ticking drift correction on the 'AirParrot' audio output has them close enough, depends on how easily you can hear your apple TV output from the room where your Macbook Pro is and vice versa.

  • Can you have sound coming out from both internal speaker and speakers connected to the iMac?

    I have a pair of KRK Rokit 5 speakers connected to the headphones jack at the back of the iMac.
    I use these for playing good quality sound when I need to record on Garageband.
    However they are mains powered and have a switch at the back which is difficult to always turn due to the position of the speakers. At the same time I don't want to have the speakers turned on all the time.
    Is there a way to enable the Mac to play sound through its onboard speaker without disconnecting the speakers' cable?
    Thsi should be possible, becasue whenever I restart the Mac I can hear it s start up jingle clearly coming out from its onboard speaker, even when the external speakers are plugged in.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately the iMac is not designed to offer that setup capability.  If you go into your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">here you will find that you can select the device that the iMac's sound output is sent thru (see below)>you will find that you can only select "one" device at a time to receive the audio signal, not multiple devices at once.  The "startup chimes" are separate from the normal audio output and Always come from the internal speakers.

  • ITunes No longer connects to WiFi Devices

    So I have an iPhone and an iPad 2.  Since the release of OS5, I've been using WiFi sync and it's worked great.
    All of a sudden in the past few days, my iTunes will NOT connect to either device.  Nothing changed that I know of, it just doesn't work anymore.
    I used to start iTunes and it would automatically find the devices and show them in the list on the left hand side.  Now that doesn't happen, and when I try to sync from the devices, it says iTunes is unavailable.
    Suggestions?  thanks!

    Yeah they're both on the same network and have no WiFi issues other than sync.  IP scheme is good &amp; stuff.  Think I might have just fixed it.  I've rebooted the machine (desktop that's hard wired to the router) several times to no avail.  Just now I booted the machine down, the restarted the router, then booted the machine back up.  As soon as I started iTunes, both devices came up like before.  Must have been the router not cooperating I guess.

  • E5: Ovi Suite has lost connection with your device...

    I am trying to update the software on my E5 using OVI suite but I keep getting an error during the install phase (after backup). The following error and instructions are displayed in the OVI suite window but makes no difference when I follow these instructions (just end up back with the same error).
    "Nokia Ovi Suite has lost connection with your device. Follow these steps to help reconnect your device:
    1. Remove USB cable from your device.
    2. Restart the device (turn off and on again).
    3. Re-insert the USB cable.
    4. Click 'Ok' below to continue updating."
    Current E5 software version is 042.007.
    I am trying to update to E5 software v. 043.115
    Any ideas?

    Yep having the same issue. Just got a replacement handset due to the random restarting issue, soon after setting up the new handset I get a message on phone saying software update is available. Both OVI suite and Nokia software updater say version 43.115 is available (about 200mb in size), I currently have the same version as you 42.007. It claims to do a lot of improvements to the handset. The update downloads fine but when it comes to installing I keep getting the same issue. Phone simply will not restart automatically and the update restarts then fails at the same point over and over. Had the same problem with my previous handset.
    I spoke with my network provider to see if it was an issue with the handset needing firmware specific to them but they said no it is an issue with the firmware itself and has been happening to everyone since its release!!! They said I should not download it until Nokia has resolved the issues with it. But how do I know when that will happen as I cannot find anything put out by Nokia stating there is an issue or anywhere on web forums saying there is actually a problem.

    I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
    As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

  • New iPad Air can't connect to iTunes; device "times out"; no error code given

    my iMac (8 months old) is running 10.8.5 with latest version of iTunes.  When I try to connect my new iPaid Air with a cable, iTunes open, after a few seconds, a windows appears saying "iTunes cannot connect to the device named Peggy's iPad because device timed out".  no error code is given.  I have restarted my computer and the iPad various times and tried different USB ports on the iMac.  I am using the original lightning cable that came with the iPad to connect.  I didn't have this problem with my old iPad 2 or with my iPod touch.  I do not have any security software installed and no firewalls, etc.  Any suggestions on what is causing this problem?  Thanks.

  • Solved. Travel router WTR54GS sharing one wireless hotspot connection with multiple devices

    Hi, Passing on info I've learned.
    The manual for the WTR54GS mentions being able to "...use multiple devices on a single hotspot account in a coffee shop or airport lounge...". See my original posting, "How to set up a wireless private bubble at paid hotspot? WTR54GS?", which ended in a dead end. I subsequently had a Linksys live chat session and the representative provided the solution. Perhaps worthy to be included in the Wireless FAQ?
    Situation: you have access to a paid hotspot (hotel room, meeting room, etc.) and you want to share the connection with several devices, also wirelessly.
    Solution: the WTR54GS can accept an incoming Internet connection wirelessely and re-broadcast that connection to form your own private bubble or network. (Note the WTR54GS can also accept an incoming Internet connection via Ethernet cable).
    Linksys Live Chat pointed me to these web pages.
    Go to the Linksys Easy Answers page: For a schematic of the concept of "associating the travel router to a hotspot (wirelessly)" search for Easy Answer ID# 4831
    URL for above is http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4831&p_created=1167963305&p_sid=GmLnq3Zi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NjImcF9wcm9kcz0wJnBfY2F0cz0xNzIxLDE3MjMmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0yLjE3MjMmcF9zY2ZfbGFuZz0xJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9V1RSNTRHUw**&p_li=&p_topview=1
    There is a "configuration simulator" that shows the options for selecting a wired or wireless incoming Internet Type.
    http://linksys.com/ui/files/WTR54GS/1.0_15/Setup-Wireless.htm
    The hotspot has to be "open", that is transmitting an SSID and with no WEP or WPA key. It may have a log-in page accessible via a web browser, this is okay as this will be passed onto the connected device.
    My personal application is to be able to connect a PDA that has a 801.2b wifi to a 801.2g wireless network. I haven't tried it but if this works, it will extend the useful life of my PDA in a "g" environment. Will report back once I find a "g" only environment. Comments?

    There are two conditions which must be met in order to use your WTR54GS to "extend" an incoming, wireless internet connection:
    The incoming connection must be unsecured.  You have already covered this point;
    The security settings on your WTR54GS can only be set to "WEP," or to "Disabled."  If you choose "WEP," then you can use either a 40/64-bit, or a 128-bit key.
    If those two conditions have been met, then it works fine -- says the guy who is sharing one paid internet conneciton in his hotel amongst three devices, and with co-workers in nearby rooms.
