Remote speakers appear in iTunes but do not connect

I have had AirTunes running for over a year, requiring only the occasional reboot. We rely on it for music throughout the house. The setup:
wired LAN of multiple Windows XP Pro computers, Windows Firewall configured for iTunes and Bonjour and File Sharing ->
Linksys WRV54G router wirelessly connected to ->
AirPort Express (latest firmware update 6.3.0.1 didn't fix the problem) configured as a relay on the same wireless network.
The AE appropriately lights up steady green (or flashing amber when I reboot the router) and the remote speakers appear appropriately in the iTunes speaker menu (iTunes v 6.0.4.2). Obviously, the box to look for airtunes speakers is checked. Music plays out of my computer's speakers just fine.
THE PROBLEM IS that when I select the remote speakers I get the "Connecting to [remote speakers]" dialog, which ultimately times out in a failure, repeatedly. Ditto for checking the box next to the remote speakers when I select "multiple speakers."
I believe I checked internet access through a powerbook wired to the AE and that worked fine (powerbook ->wired to AE ->wireless to router ->to internet).
Anybody else with this problem recently? So many iTunes updates came out so quickly that I can't tell if this is the problem. Any ideas of what else to fiddle with?

Maybe there's a connection here ? ? Did you find out anything yet ?
I use a ZyXEL 600 series with wireless card @11Mbit as my ISP connection. Wired to my pc, and wireless to my wifes laptop. Seems to work fine to stream music on the PC to my Airport Express - didn't try the laptop yet.
BUT I have a very annoying problem. After exactly 80 minutes of streming, (timed it several times) the stream is cut off.
The connection to the AirPort Express is still intact at the IP-layer, as I can ping it and use the AirPort Admin Utility to reset it, and then bring the streem up again from iTunes.
Q: What is that all about ? is there a limitation built into iTunes ? (as I didn't exatly pay for it, but just downloaded a legal copy from Apple)

IPod disappears from desktop; appears in iTunes, but is not functional

Is it possible to fix this without restoring my iPod?
Order of events:
1. I connect iPod to MacBook Pro
2. iPod appears on desktop (and finder)
3. iTunes freezes for a minute or two
4. Error message appears: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod" "click Restore"
5. When I click ok: *iPod disappears from desktop/finder*
6. Only then does the iPod show up in iTunes, and *the only option iTunes gives is to Restore*
When the iPod appears +on the desktop, it has the name I gave it+.
But when it appears +in iTunes, it's just called "iPod."+ (Despite showing the correct serial number.)
Why does this happen? Can I fix it without restoring?

Update:
When I try to use the iPod now, it says "*no music*"—despite the fact that it also shows *90GB in use*.
(It's been a long time since I sync'd it, so I'm trying not to lose the data about tracks played, etc.)

TS1424 downloaded itunes but can not connect to store message reads error 11222

Trying to connect to itunes store using windows 7 professional. I have downloaded and re-installed so many times and still I can not connect. The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection. Unfortunately I am not very computer savvy so no idea what operating system is.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

IPod 20gb appears in iTunes but will not load anything

I've tried deleting iTunes, it's library, reformatting the iPod's partition, restoring it from iTunes and even changing it's drive mounting letter. I've even tried logging into the computer as a different user; with it's own new iTunes library. Nothing works.
I can see the iPod in iTunes and I can drag tracks to it. But nothing gets copied to the iPod. I can hear it accessing it's drive and iTunes briefly flashes a message about syncing. But nothing ever gets copied. Well, no tracks get copied. It does appear to copy playlists and podcast subscriptions. But that's just their placeholders, it doesn't copy any tracks.
So what gives here? What's it take to get this thing syncing again?

I'm having the same problem.
Take a look at this information:

Though most steps haven't yet worked for me.

Thanks for the help guys... iTunes is up and running (on my PC) however when I plug in the iphone it just doesn't connect to it, so I guess it must be itunes fault, however I have restarted my computer and this hasn't helped either
The iPhone is still stuck in recovery mode?
If the iPhone is not detected you will need to try other USB ports on the PC or try other USB cables. You could also try another PC/ Mac is you have one available to see if the PC is at fault.

I have been running into similiar issues with a few AirPort Express units I have put in for other folks lately in both MAC and PC networks.
AirPort Express units are all running version 6.2 firmware.
AirTunes works fine, then you can not longer connect to the remote speakers after some period of time. The AE has has a Green LED lit. Unplug the AE for 30 seconds and life is good, for a while.
I am planning on changing the AE from DCHP to a static IP address to see how things work.

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

Can I remotely remove Apps from my iphone when not connected to iTunes. I have my apple ID and password. but my iphone is not in same wifi range

Sorry, not sure what you mean by remotely?
You can remove apps from your phone without being connected to anything if you have the phone in hand. Were you speaking about something else?
If not, then you just press on an app on the Home screen and hold it down until they all begin to wiggle. Apps that you can remove (non-Apple apps) have a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Tap on that, and the app will be removed.

My ipod is appearing in itunes but not finder

I took some photos on my new ipod touch 4th gen black and can't figure out how to get them off! I don't have a connection to wi-fi at the moment so am using the usb cable. I've tried both ports, turning off and on again itunes, turning on and off again the ipod. It appears in itunes so it's connected and recognisable in there but it doesn't appear on my mac desktop or under devises in the finder window.
Any ideas?

It does not appear in Finder unless you are using a third-party program. Try:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera

TS1410 By mistake I disconnected my iPod Classic when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes (have tried resetting and rebooting).

By mistake I disconnected my iPod (5th generation) when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes? I have tried resetting and rebooting. And my iTunes is up to date on my macbook pro, mountain lion, OS X 10.8.
Thank you!

The iPod's filesystem may be corrupted. This may seem like overkill, but it has been known to help many others in the same boat. Try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk using the instructions in this article.
