Streaming iTunes to Airport Express - Audio Hiccups

I have a Netgear wireless router connected to my PC, and, at the other end of the house, a Hawking Range Extender.  My Airport Express syncs with the range extender so that I can access my iTunes library on the PC and play through my sound system (where the Express is located).  I am using the Airport Utility on my iPad to access and play from iTunes.  All signals are strong, but when iTunes is streaming there is a "hiccup" every 10-15 seconds in the audio.  This is a very momentary pause.  Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, were yoiu able to resolve it?

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.

  • Error message when I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express

    When I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express, I get an error message: An unknown error (-15006) occurring while connecting to the remote speaker. This just started happening since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Is there a fix?

  • 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??

  • Lost ability to stream iTunes with airport express

    I have a mid 2007 iMac using a Time Capsule for backup and Wifi and an airport express hooked up to my house audio system for airplay.
    Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and lost the ability to stream iTunes to my audio system. External speaker icon and controls are still there in itunes however when I select it, it wont connect. Airport utility shows the iMac, Time Capsule, and Airport Express with green lights. Checked for software updates and rebooted all three devices to no avail.
    Any ideas experts?

    You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

  • Stream music trough AirPort Express connected only to my stereo

    I want to wirelessy stream the music I store in my Synology NAS to my old stereo. Doubt if AirPort Express can fulfill my needs considering that:
    AirPort will be not directly connected to my wifi router, but only to my stereo. Referring to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4587?viewlocale=en_US
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express need a AirPort wireless LAN already in place to work? The only wireless LAN in my home its the standard WIFI network and the wifi router its not Apple. My NAS is connected to this wifi router.
    This thread describe my concern
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2715375
    I just don't understand if this is a working solution, but my situation its the same: I can't connect AirPort Express station to my wifi router since they will be in two different rooms, and I haven't any other AirPort station.
    - Also the same page state "Do not connect AirPort Express to the phono jack on your stereo". Can use the AUX port of my stereo?

    Yes, it cannot stream from the library directly. iTunes must be running.

  • Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello ricsch,
    It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from your iPhone 5.  I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
    Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
    How to Set It Up
    Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
    From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
    Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
    I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:

  • 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!

    I've had some success with setting up iTunes over Airport express. How are you connected to the internet?

  • Audio stream to an Airport Express fails.

    Audio stream (sent by Itunes, Ipad, Iphones, Ipod....) to an Airport Express satellite works some seconds, then cuts then stops. It worked well for a couple of months than problems rised. Any solution?

    I'd like to put an AE upstairs so I can use AirPlay from my Mac to both the downstairs AppleTV and the upstairs Airport Express at the same time.
    The AirPort Express will work for this if it can receive a good quality wireless signal where it will be located.
    Also, I'd like the Airport Express to act as a Wi-Fi Network extender for the O2 router that's downstairs.
    The "extend" feature appears to be a proprietary function with Apple products. It is extremely unlikely that it will work with the O2 router. As far as we know, this feature only works among Apple products.

  • Itunes 8.2.23 upgrade, now won't stream music via airport express

    i (mistakenly) installed yesterday's upgrade to itunes and now when i stream music to my airport express it will play a couple of songs and then i won't get any sound. the song is still "playing" in itunes but it isn't being streamed to my digital receiver. if i pause the song and start it again i'll hear it but after a bit a new song will do the same thing.
    i seem to remember having this problem after the last update but can't remember what i did to remedy it. i think i reverted back to the previous version but i'm hearing that i can't do that from this version.

    Hey I'm on the phone with the Apple Rep now ( who will remain nameless ) here are the steps:
    1. System Prefs
    2. Go into SECURITY
    3. Click on FIREWALL
    4. Select SET ACCESS FOR SPECIFIC SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS
    5. Click the "+" Button to "Add" iTunes
    6. Restart iTunes
    You may need to "Add" Other Stuff that you normally use like Skype, Or Logmein.com, etc...
    I believe that in the the future Apple may have a better fix for this... the rep is saying he will escalate it...
    Seems to be working fine... we'll see who it goes long term and after some restarts... I'm not sure if it's because of the work we did re-installing and changing setting but I'm getting the soccer ball of death right now... be curious to see what others find out.

  • Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

    Hi,
    (first post )
    I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
    The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
    Both are connected to my network via wifi.
    I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
    When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
    =>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
    Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
    Any idea on where this is coming from?
    Any idea on how to prevent this?
    Thx in advance
    Rodolphe
    A few precisions on the configuration:
    the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
    The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
    Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • No speaker menu in iTunes for streaming music through Airport Express

    I have the following setup:
    I connect through the Internet using a Zyxel 660-R61 router acting as DHCP server. Next in line is an Airport Extreme running in bridge mode taking care of wireless Internet access. I have then added an Airport Express in client mode to the wireless network in order to stream music to my stereo. Although both Airports look "happy" (green lights) no speaker menu shows up in iTunes. I have done all types of resets etc. I suspect the problem lies in the ADSL router somehow. Anybody out there with ideas?

    I'm sure that you have done this already, but if not...
    Open the AirPort Admin Utility, located in /Applications/Utilities.
    Click Music in the toolbar, and select the Enable AirTunes checkbox.
    Enter an iTunes speaker name and password. This is the name displayed in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.

  • HT4437 is it possible to stream music other the iTunes to airport express? i.e. internet radio ?

    is it possible to stream music from i mac to  airport express other than listening to itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you can only stream content from iTunes from your iMac to the Apple TV. However, saying that both iTunes on your computer and your Apple TV itself have a large selection of Internet radio stations.
