Remote speakers no longer show up in iTunes

I have recently had to send my DVD/surround-sound into the shop for repair. It used to play iTunes through Airport Express fine, but now I've tried hooking Airport up to both my TV and another stereo, but in both cases remote speakers no longer show up in iTunes. I've tried reconfiguring Airport Express, and have got 'look for remote speakers' checked in iTunes prefs, bit to no avail...can anyone help me?
Also, on a related note, last time I had probas, I chatted with a support guy online somewhere on Apple.com but I can't seem to find this anymore...anyone know where it's gone?

I had the same problem. I was using iTunes 7.0.2 with two Airport Express devices and it worked fine when the Bonjour service was running at the same time.
After I upgraded to iTunes 7.1 I was unable to connect to my Airport Express devices unless I disabled\stopped the Bonjour service. :-/
While disabling the Bonjour service is a workaround for iTunes, it breaks other 3rd party apps that use the Bonjour service to stream to the Airport Express devices. I have a WinAmp plugin that allows me to stream WinAmp to my Airport devices that doesn't work when the Bonjour service is turned off.
I hope Apple fixes this problem ASAP. I hope Apple didn't do this to intentionally to defeat 3rd party apps that figured out how to stream to an Airport Express.

Help: Airport Remote Speakers No Longer Showing in iTunes

Hello!
After 2 years of streaming music to my remote speakers via iTunes and Airport Express (AX), I've had my first real issue. I have not been able to figure this out, and am at my last strand of sanity.
My AX is connected to a pair of speakers in my living room. The AX is on my home network via ethernet cable. I have a Windows XP desktop running the latest version of iTunes in my bedroom. This desktop is on the home network via ethernet. Last night, for some unknown reason, I no longer had the ability to see my remote speakers in iTunes. I tried everything. I turned off the firewalls, reset the routers, made sure that "share via ethernet" was selected in the AX admin utility, but my efforts were futile.
Ive not messed with any "network" settings. I usually leave things as is, yet I've never previously had this "disappearing remote speaker" issue before.
Things to note:
I do not run any sort of windows firewall.
My Macbook seems to stream music just fine wirelessly to the AX when I turn iTunes (latest version) on.
Any advice / help would be very very very much appreciated.
The only request I have is, I am not as computer savvy as most of you are. If you do have a solution, please break it down so that someone as slow as I am is able to make sense of it and implement it
Thank you so very much.

Hello GeekDoc. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The fact that your MacBook is successfully streaming iTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is telling me that the issue is most likely not iTunes or the AX itself, but with the Ethernet path between your desktop PC and the AX.
As you may already know, iTunes uses AirTunes to stream audio to an AX. Although AirTunes sounds like it can only travel wirelessly, it actually can be transmitted by wire as well. AirTunes is based on Apple's Remote Audio Output Protocol (RAOP). What you may not know is AirTunes takes a minimum of two steps to do the audio streaming: 1) Establish a link with an AX, and 2) Send the audio data.
In order to do both, AirTunes will open ports: 5000 to establish the link, and (typically) 6000 to pass the audio data. I know you said that you are not running any firewalls, but you may want to double-check that none are running between the Ethernet path between the desktop and the AX. I suggest that you (temporarily) disable any firewalls, spyware, or antivirus programs on your desktop ... or any other program that prevents network traffic to see if this eliminates the problem.

When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

Apple TV no longer showing up in Itunes

I went to settings on Apple TV and tested the network, which was o.k. Apple TV is connected through an ethernet connection to a Linksys router. Apple TV no longer shows up in Itunes. An aside question relating to Itunes: In my movie library, to the left of the movie name, a circle sometimes appears. Some movies have no circles. Some of the circles which appear are solid blue, some are half blue/half white. What do these circles and color codes mean? thanks

How exactly did you do that

Have you tried restarting all your equipment, has anything anywhere on your set p changed.

A blue circle indicates you haven't yet watched it, a half blue circle that you have started to watch it but didn't finish it.

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?

If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.

There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.

How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up in iTunes?

All of a sudden my iPhone doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable it does on my MacBook. I have tried plugging it in diretly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first pluged in.
Does anyone know why when plugging in the iPhone 3G or my iPod Classic (old school) it won't load on the side bar of iTunes? It is like it does not exist. I have done all updates. I restarted my computer a couple of times and finally got the iPod Classic to load but still the iPhone 3G shows nothing. It won';t even boot my phone up to charge it but will the iPod.
I use the iPhone on my MackBook with the same cord and it loads to iTunes and starts to sync. Same with the iPod. Both computers are running the same software. Since it works on the MacBook and use to work on then iMac G5 I am thinking it may have something to do with the updates for iTunes. I use the MacBook to charge the iPhone and iPod sometimes but the main computer for syncing is the iMac. Only nothing seems to work. After restarting the iMac several times the iPod seems to work then not work. I am frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hi John, i have my doubt that it has something to do with authorization/deauthorization. I have read somewhere before that the iPhone (not sure about iPod) can only be "paired" with one mac and if you want to synch it with another one, you need to deauthorize the initial one first. Inside iTune up on its menu bar under Store, there are 2 options that said authorize and deauthorize. Now i haven't tried this before as i only got myself one mac, so i have no past experience here with this particular case. May be some other experienced users can shed some light on this and share with us, before you try out?

My ipod no longer shows in my itunes help, my ipod no longer shows in my itunes help

my ipod is no longer showing up in my itunes, it use to i have tired everything, it will only charge can you tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it please

There may be various issues associated with updating to iTunes 10.4.1 but I was able to fix my problem with iTunes not seeing my devices. iTunes would start fine but connecting my iPhone or iPad would result in the beach ball hang. I noticed the same thing would happen if I tried to click on the MobileMe icon on the status bar so it pointed to a sync services problem. Looking in "~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices" I saw some "ErrorInfo.txt" files with "SyncDataDirectoryCorruptedException, reason = The Admin Database does not exist. It should have been created by upgradedb."
I had already reinstalled Lion to get iTunes10.4 back which didn't help so that step may not be necessary but I restored "~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local" from my Time Machine backup from the day before the 10.4.1 update and that fixed my problem.
I've re-updated to 10.4.1 and everything still works.

After updating Apple TV from 1.1 to 2.0, no longer shows up in iTunes 7.6

My Apple TV was working fine with sw ver 1.0 and then 1.1.
After updating it to sw ver 2.0, it no longer shows up in my
iTunes 7.6 on my Powermac, running the latest Tiger updates,
10.4.11
I've been following the trouble shooting guide, and have power
cycled the Apple TV. I've ensured that the Firewall allows
iTunes, iPhoto, and Bonjour (UDP 5353) through. I've tried
disabling the Apple firewall.
I have not yet power cycled my computer, because it is busy
running iPhoto, importing my photos. I have not yet removed
and reinstalled iTunes. Will do both of those after iPhoto
finishes importing.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
Chris Shaker

Got it working!
Besides the Apple specified debugging items for ATV not showing up in iTunes,
I ran disk warrior on my disks, and repaired the permissions on my boot disk.
At some point, ATV running 2.0 showed up on iTunes. Then, it went away, and
would not come back.
I restored ATV to factory defaults, sw 1.1. This time, it did not show up in iTunes.
Found that at some point NetBarrier X5 decided that the ATV was a computer attempting a DOS attack on my Mac, and decided to drop all packets from the ATV. Fixed that, and got ATV 2.0 working with iTunes 7.6

New iTunes update, iPod no longer shows up in iTunes

Got a update request from iTunes today and accepted the upgrade for iTunes and QuickTime. I ignored the warning from Microsoft that this was not approved for XP (stupid, but I doubted that Apple would trash my connection). After the install, I no longer have my iPod show up in my iTunes. I have done a System Restore, deleted iTunes and reinstalled, deleted iTunes and manually removed all left over folders and then reinstalled; followed all of the troubleshooting items at http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/ and lots of other things over the past 6 hours. I am really tired now. Does anyone have any help. Note that the iPod charges through the ISB port, the wi-fi worksm the apps and music and library items show up in iTunes. The only thing that is missing is the iPod showing up in iTunes so that I cannot sync. Also when I open iTunes I get this message:
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
you need to reinstall iTunes.
I need to sync. Help.

Good news now. After two more uninstall/reinstalls I now get my iPod showing up in iTunes. I still get the:
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
you need to reinstall iTunes.
box every time I open iTunes, but this is an annoyance, not a disaster. Still any help in stopping this pop-up would be appreciated. Also I have sucessfully imported a CD to iTunes, so I am not sure what the warning is about. (I do not have a downloaded song to try to burn to a CD however).

IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

Hi there,
For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)
Regards, Malcolm

If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.

Keep in mind, the new iTunes is in a different format. To revert to a more familiar format:
In the top menu bar in iTunes, select
1. View
2. Show sidebar
Is the device now on the more familiar left hand pane or still not recognized?

Albums no longer show up in itunes and screensaver/background control panel

As of a day or so ago I am not longer able to update my pics in itunes as itunes no longer shows my albums in the ipod section of the preferences. Also I no longer see my albums for screensaver in the screensaver pane of the control panel. It seems these two are interconnected. I have tried removing the prefs and am getting nothing. Maybe export the library and reimport fresh?
Newest versions of all software installed.

macona:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Even though you've tried deleting the preference files try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto, iTunes and screensaver preference files. The screensaver files will be in your Library/ByHost folder. There may be at least two files with screensaver in the name.
2 - run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
3 - run Cocktail and delete the various use caches and run the cron scripts (in the Pilot section)
4 - launch the applications in the following order: iTunes and then iPhoto
5 - now try to reset the screen saver.
Do you Twango?
