Trouble connect itunes to airport express

Hi there,
I am have configured my airport express via the Airport Utility to join my current wireless network and become a speaker Option for itunes.
stats:
OSX 10.6.4
itunes 9.2
airport express hardware version 6.3
solid green LED.
I can see the option in itunes and I choose it and either the option is ignored and stay on the internal speakers of my laptop or I get an error that says "An unknown error (-1) occurred while connecting to the remote speaker" and a bunch of strange characters continue on. no option to post a screenshot?
Any ideas on this problem?
I can access the airport via the "Airport Utility" and all the settings are correct and I have a solid Green LED.
Cheers,
Noah

Hi,
I also get the Korean error message form time to time when trying to get AX to stream iTunes. Its just one of many awesome things that occurs when attempting to use iTunes with an AX in client mode.
Others include:
- AX disappearing off Airport utility and not being found with rescan even though green light is on the AX. Unplugging and plugging the AX back in usually makes it reappear.
- Itunes never finding my remote speakers even though green light is on the AX.
- Music cutting off and never coming back even though green light is on the AX.
(All latest updates and firmware applied)
Its great when it does work though...
Cheers

Having trouble connecting a second airport express

I currently have a third party router and have successfully connected one airport express and when I try to add another - I simply can't. The yellow light will continually flash and the computer won't recognize the added airport. I then restart the airport express by pressing the button under the brick and I am able to get through all of the steps until the very end while the airport is restarting when it says that it can't connect to the airport because it doesn't recognize it and then the yellow light starts to flash on and off again. Question. Can I put a second airport express in and what could I be doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

Hello cwedner. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I currently have a third party router and have successfully connected one airport express and when I try to add another - I simply can't.
How do you have your first AirPort Express Base Station (AX) configured to "connect" to the third party router: 1) By Ethernet, or 2) WIreless? If wireless, do you have the AX configured to "Join a wireless network?" ... and is this how you want the 2nd AX to be configured?

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express, so how can I get the wireless bluetooth speakers to play at the same time in my bedroom?

Did you ever get this to work? My guess is that the speakers are out of bluetooth range at that distance.

ITunes 8 / Airport Express Cannot Connect To Speakers

I upgraded to iTunes 8 today for Windows and now when I try to connect to my Airport Express remote speakers I get "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker <name>" An unknown error occurred (-3256). The Airport Express Admin Utility sees the airport express and can retrieve it's configuration, but iTunes can no longer use it as a remote speaker. Any ideas?

answer w/ links:
go to:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63formacosx.h tml
download the firmware updater for your type of airport, then run the application.
after the firmware is updated, you will have to wait for a bit to get your internet connection back. once it is, restart iTunes. worked for me. if it still isn’t working, you probably need to run software updater (use sherlock to find it if you don't use it regularly) and update the software for your airport as well.

Cannot Connect To External Speakers Through iTunes 10 & AirPort Express

I am trying to play music through my stereo from iTunes 10 and my AirPort Express. IMy Mac & AirPort Express are on the same network and the speakers are connected correctly to the Airport Express. I don't see the AirPlay button in the bottom right corner of iTunes though. Any thoughts?

i'm having the same problem, there used to be an icon in the lower right hand corner to connect to my airport express and it doesn't exist anymore, i tried shutting down, unplugging and plugging the airport express back in, but i still have no option to send music to it. any luck with yours?

Trouble extending WiFi using Airport Express over wired connection

We're attempting to improve the wireless connection in an apartment. The original network runs off a current model Airport Extreme. We used a pair of ZyXEL powerline adapters to extend a wired connection to the other end of the apartment, and connected a new Airport Express at the far end. Airport Utility automatically configured the Express to extend the network. Didn't work so well.
A laptop plugged directly into the powerline adapter gets a great connection. When the Express is connected to the powerline adapter (yes, using the WAN port), not only can I no longer connect to the network wirelessly, but even turning WiFi off and plugging a Cat5 cable into the LAN port on the Express results in a connection that's either nonexistent or so slow as to be nonfunctional. The laptop does pull an IP address when hardwired.
Has anyone had any luck with this type of arrangement?
Thanks!

When you say that AirPort Utility automatically configured the Express to extend the network......you did not specify whether the Express was set up to "extend wirelessly" or "extend using Ethernet".
There is a huge difference here, and if for some reason the Express was first configured to extend the network wirelessly......and then the Ethernet connection was made......that will set up a feedback loop that will effectively crash the network....rendering the Express virtually useless. Sound familiar?
Suggest that you start over and follow our step by step instructions. We assume that you are using a 6.x version of AirPort utility.....or....that you will be using an iPhone or iPad for the setup. Would that be correct? We also assume that you have a spare Ethernet cable on hand......any length will do, the longer the better.
Post back when you are ready to get things set up.

Cannot hear my remote speakers in itunes thru Airport Express?

Anyone have this problem, I set up my Airport Express last week and everything worked correctly. I was able to set up a network, print and listen to music wirelessly. However, over the weekend since installing itunes 8, my remote speakers wont work with the airport express. i keep getting (unknown error -15000} and my speakers seem to make a crackle. Im still able to get to the web, and print on my AE. Ive checked all the problems, everything is plugged in, i reset up the network, used the airport utility, the AE is still in the same place , it has not been moved. At bottom of itunes, it says it will play music thru AE and not computer. Please help If I cant play my itunes wirelessly, my new macbook is almost useless.

i'm having the same problem, there used to be an icon in the lower right hand corner to connect to my airport express and it doesn't exist anymore, i tried shutting down, unplugging and plugging the airport express back in, but i still have no option to send music to it. any luck with yours?

Connected to the Airport Express' Network but Can't Find Express

I've recently been having some trouble with my network, which contains a modem connected to an Airport Express, with my iMac connecting wirelessly to that. My internet connection is getting dropped, and when I open up Airport Utility I can't see my Express. However, from the wireless indicator at the top-right of my screen, I am still connected to the Express' network. When I turn my iMac's Airport on and off, it reconnects to the Express' network (which is constantly at full-strength). I also can't ping the Express.
So, I'm connecting to the Express' network but I can't do anything. After a variable amount of time (5 seconds to half-an-hour), the Express will appear in my Airport Utilities once again and I can surf the net. Does anyone have any thoughts? Is there a way to ping any of the protected wireless-networks that are available, just to see if it's a problem on my iMac's end? Could my Express still be broadcasting its SSID but has shut-down it's networking capability because of an overheating issue?
Thanks.
- Matt
PS. My Airport Express is the 802.11n model.

You may need to re set the AE to factory specs and start all over. Read the manual on a factory re set. Start on page 41 and go through page 42.

Connection dropped to Airport Express

Hi,
I'm running MacBook Pro connected to the Airport Express. I do lose the connection to the Airport Express every once in awhile. The Mac shows full connection in the menu bar, but no traffic goes through.
I can restore the connection by rebooting or using "ifconfig en1 down; ifconfig en1 up" commands. I'd like to hear if anyone is experiencing similar behavior and what might be causing it. The only visible clue comes from system.log which is full of error messages from athrxproc (Airpot driver?).
Any help would be appreciated.

I bought I new AE a week ago. I bough it to extend the wireless area of my house. I currently have an AX base station that was working perfectly with my Apple TV, but since I couln't cover the whole area of my house (for internet purposes with my Powerbook), I decided that the AE was the perfect solution for me. Setting the whole thing was tricky but finally got it to work... or so I thought. It is very weird that when there's no internet traffic, the AE just dissapears from the Airport Utility on my main computer (Mac Pro). If I use the Powerbook near the area where the AE is installed, then I can see it on the Power book's Airport Utility, but no internet connection whatsoever. I have to reset the AE from within the application and it restablishes connection. Quiet annoying because I have to do this everytime I want to use my Powerbook to surf the net. the Apple tv was first connected to the base station, flawlesly, when I got the AE to extend the network I also re-configured APple tv to use the extended network, but since the connection was dropped every time, then the APple tv would dissapear from iTunes. I had to go back and configure the Apple TV to the main station (signal is not as strong but at least is connected all the time, so my problem is the Airport Express, no doubt!
I have read many articles here, seems like a lot of people expreiencing the same.
Any hope?

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:

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.

Streaming from iTunes to AirPort Express interrupted with good conectivity

I connect from my iMac to a radio in the kitchen via AirPort Express. The stream from iTunes is interrupted ever so often and the second speaker in AirPlay is dimmed. The connection to the AirPort Express remains excellent throughout. Restarting helps, but then it tends to happen again. Sometimes after an interruption it starts working again. I did not notice any specific timing or other activity on my iMac that could cause this.
Any ideas?
Detlef

besides changing the radio channel used, also try this:
open system preferences
open network pane
select airport in the left list
click the advanced button
go to the TCP/IP tab
set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
click OK
click apply
now try again to connect to your remote speakers.
