Sharing Music in iTunes w/ Airport Express

Hello,
After installing my Airport Express, all the shared libraries from other university students in my building are now gone within iTunes. Everyone else with Airport works great: printing, speakers, internet.... Anyone have any clue how I can fix this?
Thanks
Nick

This problem is unique to users of the Airport Express on a university network. Connecting to a university network doesn't have the same requirements as connecting to a cable or DSL modem, because on a univesity network you don't necessarily want the Airport Express to act as a router between your computer and the network the Airport Express is connected to.
You can fix this by disabling the router built into the Airport Express. To do this, run the Airport Admin Utility, select your Express, click the Configure button, click the Network tab, and then uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Then restart your computer.
There is a possible downside to doing this - which is that while you will be able to access everyone else's shared iTunes library and the internet, there is a possibility (depending on how IP addresses are distributed on your university's network) that you may no longer be able to print or stream iTunes to your Airport Express. If these functions of your Airport Express do contineu to work (this is good!) they will also be accessible to everyone else on the university's network (this is not so good!).

  • Sharing Music with Computer and Airport Express at the same time?

    I just purchased and set up airtunes with some powered speakers.
    I cannot figure out how I can play the same music at the same time to shared computers and the Express Powered Speakers at the same time.
    Can you help me with configuring instructions please?
    iMac G5 with Airport Extreme and DSL w/ iTunes pointing to external hard drive music library.
    PowerBook G4 in the kitchen wireless can share music when computer is selected.
    Powered Speakers on the screen porch with Airport Express connected can only play music when Express is selected.
    How do I fix this so that when we have a dinner party we have the same music in the office, the kitchen and the screen porch all playing together at the same time?
    Thanks.
    I hope my question is clear as I really would love to sort this out before our party.

    Although your problem is slightly different, it seems that you are having the exact same issues that I had just two days ago - solved for me by Felix. If you check the link below, it goes through what I had to do, which was basically to update the software on my airport express base station, which he explains well:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=476631&tstart=30
    When I did it, it then gave me the option on iTunes (check the picture at http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/airtunes.html to see the magnified bit on iTunes) and then I could just choose multiple speakers concurrently.
    Hope this helps.

  • Playing music through iTunes on AirPort Express

    I have the following configuration:
    Airport Express (AX) ver 6.3 firmware
    iTunes 7.1.1
    Airport Admin Utility ver 4.1
    Linksys WRV200 wireless router - all wired and wireless computers connect to Internet and LAN here.
    My AX is configured to join my existing wireless network.
    I want to play music from any computer on my network-wired or wireless via iTunes and AX.
    Up until 2 months ago, I was able to play music to my AX from any wired or wireless computer on my network. I'm not sure that anything has changed with my configuration but now I can only see the AX in iTunes on wireless computers. When use the AirPort admin utility on a wired computer, I cannot see the AX in the base station chooser window but I can choose "other" and manually enter in the AX IP address and password and connect to the AX and configure the AX from the wired computer.
    I have the AX configured to enable airtunes over ethernet and have all iTunes clients configured to look for remote speakers. Can any one help here?

    Swipe from the bottom and a window will come up with the airplay option

  • HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

    In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
    My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
    thanks,

    Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
    iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

  • Intermittent issue streaming music from iTunes to airport express

    I'm experiencing an issue when streaming music from my iMac to two airport expresses (1st generation). Music will be playing fine but once in a great while, when a new song starts it's like a digital bomb has gone off. It's similar to an amber alert coming through the speakers instead of music. When I stop the song and start it again, back comes the music. This has happened to many different song files so I've discounted the possibility that it's a corrupted file. I've not been able to determine any other pattern that would give me some insight into the root of the problem. The problem has existed across two different routers so doubtful that’s a factor either. All my software (iTunes and OS) are up to date and generally the system works well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or advice? I’m at a loss on how to resolve.

    Update: this problem exists when just listening to music on iMac with iTues; no airport express or network involved. Something, somewhere in the software is causing this.

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Streaming Itunes to Airport Express

    I am able to stream itunes on Airport Express while also using my computer to access the internet via an Airport Extreme Network. I am also able to do the same at a vacation home which uses a Linksys network. However, when using the office network (small private office) with secured wireless access, which I have he access to, the itunes will only work on the wireless network if selected network is chosen on the banner bar at top of the desktop. The system sees both wireless networks (the Airport Express & the office wireless network). I was actually surprised that I could stream music to the express and still maintain a separate connection for internet simulteanously. I would like to be able to have the sam capability for the office as I do at home and the vacation home, any advice??

    you can only stream music to an airport express if you have selected that network from your list under the airport icon at the top of your screen... so if you have selected your itunes network then you obviously can't also be part of another wireless network to use the internet. The only way to do this is to make your itunes network a part of the network which is used to access the web. Airport express has profiles which enable you to setup multiple settings so when you take your airport into the office, reconfigure the airport using airport admin and have it 'join' your office network and make sure you give it the same network name as your office one. Then from your airport network list select the name and you will be able to both listen to music and surf.

  • Setting up Itunes on Airport Express -

    Hi, I am setting up itunes to play from my laptop wirelessly to my home stereo. I have airport extreme running fine for intenet, etc...
    I think I have wired everything correctly as far as airport express and my stereo.
    I installed airport express/itunes from the disk.
    when I open itunes, there are no "home speakers" as the manual would suggest.
    Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?
