Still can't find remote speakers!

I know I have written before, but am peeved that I still can't get my PC to find my remote speakers (they are not listed). My Mac has no problems with this so I know my network is fine. I don't have bonjour, I checked the firewall, and installed the new iTunes. Please let me know if you have any other ideas. Thanks!

I set it all up on my Mac and my PC this morning.
Shut everything down because of a pending storm.
Fired it all up tonight and tried it again.
At first the remote speakers showed up on the PC, but they were in italics. So I rebooted. Now they don't show up at all. The box is just gone.
Works fine from the Mac.
I tried reinstalling iTunes and everything.
What a piece of crap. Can I say that on here?! First, nothing but fits getting the iPod to work on a friend's PC, and now this. Sheesh!

  • Can't find remote speakers. Other computers can.

    1. The find remote speakers IS checked in my iTunes.
    2. I am accessing the Internet through the Air Port Express, so I know I am connecting to the AP.
    3. I can connect to it wired or wirelessly, but I do not have a choose speakers option on iTunes either way.
    4. All of the other computers (Mac and XP) in the office are connecting (as I type).
    5. I could connect to the speakers yesterday.
    Any Ideas??
    I set up the Airport Express as an AP, there is a wired router in the network. Users can connect wired or wirelessly to the Airport's shared speakers. There are currently 3-5 users trying to connect to the speakers. I am the only one who cannot.

    It would help if you told us what system and OS you are running.

  • ITunes can't find remote speakers

    I know others have had this problem. I am running a PC with XP media center. My airport is wired to the network & green light is on. iTunes does not show the drop down box for remote speakers so nothing streams to my stereo. I have checked the box "look for remote speakers" in iTunes preferences. I have McAfee firewall which I have set to "open". I have loaded and reloaded iTunes, Airport and Bonjour trying all versions and upgrades via the web. The only notation I can find in Apple support is the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108071 which is about as useless as ... well, you know.
    Any good ideas?

    Have you ever been able to see the remote speakers or is this a new problem?
    I'm having problems with this as well, but I've been streaming audio to multiple speakers for several days. This morning I noticed that my remote speakers didn't showup in iTunes.
    The work around for this appears to be to reset the airport (at least that's worked for me).
    If you've seen your remote speakers before, then you might try resetting your airport by unplugging it and then plugging it back in or use the airport admin to update something that won't affect it's operation like the "location" notation.

  • Can't find remote speakers with itunes

    This just happened randomly. I have Airport Express connected wirelessly to itunes, and then connected to my stereo. I have turned everything off (including AE, iBook, router - everything) and back on. itunes is still set to look for remote speakers, but it just does not see them. Yesterday it was working, today it is not.
    PS I tried to download a new copy of itunes, but it will not install
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and still can't find my pictures?

    My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and  followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
    Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

  • My iPad 2 doesn't have the app store I have looked in everything, reset the home screen and the restrictions is off but I still can't find it.

    If you got the iPad from your school, and the Installing Apps restriction is 'off' but greyed out (as you 've said here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16137325#16137325) so that the App Store app is hidden, then it's likely that your school has set the restriction - you will need to ask them to remove the restriction for you.

  • "can't find remote speaker"

    AirPort works fine for an hour or two, but then the audio dies and iTunes says (something like) "can't find remote speaker".
    I have to disconnect from the network and connect again. "repairing wireless connection" also works.
    Do you know of any way around this problem?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Try changing the channel used by your wireless network (or by the Airport Express itself if it is being used as a standalone device). Some experimentation may be required - start with either channel 1 or 11.

  • Still can't find out where the wrong is.....

    Here is the code I use to convert a String of infix expression
    into a postfix array.
    But I still can't find out where the problem is,can someone help me out, thanks...
    public void i2p(String i,char p[])
           int position ,outpos = 0;
           char topsymb = '+', symb, del;
           Stack opstk = new Stack(20);
           System.out.println("the original infix expression is: " + i);
           for(position=0 ; position< i.length() ; position++)
                symb = i.charAt(position);
                if(isoperand(symb))
                   p[outpos++] = symb;
                else
                     if(!opstk.empty()){
                          topsymb = opstk.pop();
                     prcdNum(topsymb, symb);
                     while(opstk.empty() == false && prcd(topsymb, symb) == true )
                     del = opstk.pop();
                     p[outpos++] = topsymb;
                     if(opstk.empty() == false && prcd(topsymb, symb) == false){
                        opstk.push(topsymb);
                        p[outpos++] = symb;
                     if(opstk.empty() == true && symb != ')'){
                        opstk.push(symb);
               while(!opstk.empty())
                 p[outpos++] = opstk.pop();
      }

    For example when I input a+b*c , it output abc* ,,,,,,,

  • I have checked around the internet, but still can't find any answers. How can I prevent incoming mail from interrupting the music I am listening to on my iPhone? That 1-second muting function drives me insane, especially when a lot of mail is coming in.

    If you want to hear your music on iPhone without interruption, switch Settings > Airplane Mode: ON.

  • New iMac can't access remote speakers in iTunes

    i use an airport express to play music from eMac to my stereo. This works fine. I just purchased a new iMac. I'm able to turn the Airport On in iTunes, and I can see my remote speakers, but the selection is grayed out. I've tried updating the firmware on the airport express, performing a soft reset, unplugging it, and nothing works. Thanks for your help!!!

    Did you ever fix this? I am having the same issue!

  • My phone is always off line and i still can not find my iPhone, what else can i do and on my part?

    My phone is always off line. I still can not find my iPhone, what else can i do and on my part?  Will the  local authorities help me find it if i show them the last location the phone was at cause I can always take matters into my own hands and probably end up in trouble with the law.  What options do I have available?

    In addition to using Find My iPhone to lock or erase your phone, the advice in the following link from Apple support is to change your iCloud password, report it to local law enforcement and to your cellular carrier: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668

  • ITunes on  iMac cannot find remote speakers, but iTunes on MacBook can!!!

    I have a home wireless network provided by a third party ADSL modem, and an Airport Express connected to a stereo system. My MacBook has no problem playing iTunes music remotely through the AE/stereo system. The WEIRD thing is that my iMac Intel Core Duo is not able to establish a connection to the same AE/stereo system - even though the MacBook and iMac are located at almost the same spot, they are running the same version of OSX and iTunes (all my software is up to date on both computers), and both have no problems connecting to the internet through the wireless network.
    What could be wrong with my iMac, or with iTunes on the iMac?
    iMac Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I have the same problem. I have two Airport Express units. The base is connected to the Cable/Modem for internet use. I have a Bose surround sound system also plugged into that Express unit. The other Express was used for extending the range for my old Titanium Laptop that recently bit the dust. (Waiting for Leopard before I leap;)
    I was able to use iTunes music from my iMac by selecting the "speakers" I wanted. Either Express, I tried them both. I was quite successful in this remote streaming of my music library for a couple weeks. However, in the past 5 days I can not select the "speakers", they are no longer recognized by iTunes. I made sure the iTune preference to scan for wireless systems was checked. It was.
    The next option was to try to reconfigure using the program Airport Admin Utility. The AAU does not even find either Express unit. I did a factory reset on "extra" Express unit and connected it by my Ethernet LAN. Then the Express is detected.
    One would think that my iMac or Express did not function as a wireless system. However, I am sending this message from my iMac, through the base Express that is connected to the internet. That function thankfully does work.
    Can it be a corrupted Airport Admin Utility? I tried to find a download on the Apple site to no avail. I tried to find it on my Tiger install CD's.
    Any ideas?

  • TS2972 I have signed in with same Apple ID & same network but still can't use Remote app to control my iTunes via iPhone 4s or iPad2.

    I have gone through FAQ and tried all methods and checked settings in my iMac and my iOS devices (iPhone 4s and iPad2) and still can't useRemore app to control iTunes. I have used this app without a problem before with my old iPhone 3 and it worked fine.
    What is wrong with it?

    Other than you have used it before and it worked - can you provide some more details? You don't see your iTunes library in the remote app?
