Remote speakers/computer doesen't show up in itunes

I tried everything from calling tech support to re-installing the airport software. And I found out how to fix it! I unplugged the airport from my stereo and plugged it into the wall and connected it as a wireless modem, ( I have a Linksys wireless router), after I did that my iTunes now has the computer/remote speaker drop down button back. Yah!

    "i have followed all of apples advice!!"
    No idea what this means, unless you say what you have tried. When you say that you have tried "all", it really does not encourage anyone to make suggestions.  If you have tried it all, then, by definition, there is nothing left to try.

  • Old computer crashed, have new computer, how to tranfer.  Already have files on new computer, but wont show up in iTunes

    I guess my title is too long, sorry.  Old computer crashed, have new computer, already tranfered songs to new computer, but can't get them to show up in ITunes.  I have 2007 version of IPod, only a few songs on, and won't even transfer those.

    Finally figured it out.  Just had to store all my songs/ folders in the iTunes folder.  My old computer folder set up threw me off, had duplicate folders of songs that messed everything up when copied over.
    Thanks for your help though, appreciate it.

  • Can't always connect to remote speakers since upgrading to lion

    In one fell swoop I did a lot of upgrading, and ever since I haven't been able to reliably connect to any remote speakers using iTunes on my iMac.  From iTunes (or the Remote app on the phone or iPad) I can see remote speakers, but I cannot connect.  From iTunes, I just get the stripy progress bar, and it won't ever go away unless I cancel out.  From the remote app, it just becomes unrepsonsive.
    Context:
    I have a iMac with OSX Lion, that I upgraded from Snow Leopard a few weeks ago. At about the same time, I updated iTunes to 10.5 from the last 10.4 release to be able to get the IOS 5 update on my and my wife's phones.
    I have an Airport Extreme connected to our broadband, with 3 airport expresses in various places in our house connected on a wireless network to stereos for remote speakers.  The iMac is connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet.  After upgrading the OS and iTunes, I got a notice that there was a firmware update for my two most recent airports (the Extreme and one of the expresses).  They are running version 7.6 of the firmware, the other two airports are running 6.3.
    There has been no change to the physical environment -- no sources of interference or anything like that.  I can play music from the Music app on my phone to any of the remote speakers, there is no problem there. 
    About half the time, if I restart everything (wireless base stations, and then the computer) I can get the remote speakers to work.  However, the next time the computer wakes up from sleep mode, I have the same connection problem described above.
    Has anyone else experiences these sorts of troubles?  I have seen some similar problems with older versions of all these applications and OS's -- and the solution there was to turn off ipV6 -- however, it doesn't look like that's an option now.  Is this an identified bug, and is there a fix on the way?  Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

    Well, after some experimentation and internet-lookin', I deduced that is possibly a wi-fi problem.  It seems that many people are having wi-fi problems since upgrading to Lion, and although I'm not connecting directly to my wireless network, it does form a pretty big chunk of my setup describe above.
    So I tried the fix outlined on OSX Daily here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/06/lion-wi-fi-problems-solution-mac/
    Essentially what it has you do is to create a new network location, name it, and then renew your DHCP lease.  This seems to have worked for the time being.

  • Airtunes remote speakers not visible in iTunes

    I had this actually working flawlessly for about a year now. Two Airtunes speakers in Living and Dining room, controlled wirelessly through iTunes on my WinXP laptop.
    And two more laptops, one Win2000, one OSX working fine too with it.
    So suddenly, and I'm not sure if this was due to a Windows Update or an iTunes update or something else, that WinXP laptop doesn't show the remote speaker in iTunes anymore. I can still ping the Airport base stations but don't see them in iTunes anymore.
    The other two computers are still connecting fine to them.
    Turned of the Windows firewall, just to check, still same issue.
    Uninstalled iTunes completely, restarted, reinstalled, same thing.
    I just don't have any ideas what to try.
    Anyone has an idea please?
    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

    I may be having a similar problem. My remote speakers work great on one PC, but not another. On the other, when I connect to the remote speakers and click play on an mp3, iTunes crashes with a "Sorry, but iTunes has to close". The error signature doesn't make sense to me:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.5.0.20 ModName: itunes.exe
    ModVer: 7.5.0.20 Offset: 002d0671
    This is my work laptop and I have no ability to change the firewall settings. Could that be it, or is firewall unrelated to a complete iTunes crash? Thanks for any input.

  • 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

  • ITunes Error -3256 can't connect to remote speakers

    iTunes is behaving erratically. I get a -3256 error when the app tries to connect to remote speakers via an AirPort Express.
    Restarting iTunes allows me to connect. iTunes then works until my computer goes to sleep. When I wake the computer it hangs with the -3256 error again. Restart iTunes and it negotiates the network connection perfectly.
    I ran AirTunes with no problem for years until version 8 of iTunes was released.
    I'm running iTunes 8.0.2

    I'm having the same problem with my macbook pro (OS 10.5.6, iTunes 8.0.2) but NOT with my imac flatpanel 15". I get "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "Stereo". An unknown error occurred (-3256)." Restarting iTunes does NOT work for me.
    My airport is administered by the older imac flatpanel. My girlfriend's computer - an older macbook pro - does NOT have this problem. Has anyone gotten an answer yet on this?
    Is this a known bug since so many of us seem to be seeing it?

  • ITunes and Remote Speakers

    So, all of a sudden, my remote speakers aren't even showing up as an option at the bottom of the iTunes window. I'm clearly connected to the internet as I'm posting the forum post right now. Any idea why iTunes is suddenly not recognizing my internet connection? Is there some way to force iTunes to look for the connection?
    I'm using PowerBook G4 and an Airport Express connected to my home stereo.

  • IPod touch is not turning on, showing up in itunes, and it's not showing up in My Computer

    My touch is 2nd generation. I have tried to do all the restarts and tried to put it into DFU mode, but nothing happens. I din't drop it or anything and that is why I'm confused. What would cause it not to turn on at all, or show up in My Computer and not show up in itunes?

  • My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

    My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
    Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
    The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.
