Trouble with iTune and multiple airport express

Hi,
I have a wifi network at home, a PC with windows XP and iTunes, and two airport express stations in other rooms.
I can't figure out why iTunes sometimes sees the "other speakers" (ie airport express stations), sometimes don't, and sometimes sees only one of the two.
The leds are always green on the remote stations, and they are seen in the airport administrator.
Closing iTunes and running it again usually helps (but not always)
Is that something anyone already experienced ?
Thx for help.
Nico

It has been working fine for two days nows, and this morning : no express stations on iTunes...
And they are neither seen in the Aiport Admin utility .

  • I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. when I open up itunes, it seems to just sit there, never going to itunes store. when I connect my ipad, I check update and it starts, but then I get this message:backup can't be saved on

    I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?

  • Help, itunes doesn't want to work with airtunes and my airport express!

    Strangely specific problem with playing itunes using airtunes. Just connected an Airport express to my time capsule. All the software and firmware is up to date, and I'm streaming from itunes to an airport express connected to a stereo. My itunes is on a laptop. My library is on the time capsule. Almost everytime the song changes, the audio drops out and stays out until I pause and replay the song. It's the weirdest thing. There are no random audio drops, just a failure to keep playing when the song switches (and it doesn't happen every time, just some of the time). This is similar but not the same as the problems other folks are having with airport express and itunes audio drop outs. Does anyone have a solution?

    Problem solved. Upgrading to most recent itunes relased yesterday seems to have fixed the problem.

  • I'm having trouble with internet radio thru Airport Express with itunes 7.

    The new itunes 7 is working okay for me except for one thing. For some reason I have a buffering problem between my computer and my Airport Express when I feed internet radio to it. Playing it through my computer speakers works just fine. Normal itunes music files seem to be okay either way. This started happening when I installed itunes 7. I have reset the base station and it hasn't improved things. Is it just coincidence? Anyone got any clues?

    Same problem here. Some streams are playing correctly and others play in a strange manner, like a mix.
    I also got this problem with iTunes 7. I hope that Apple will fix it in a future update so that I can listen to every station over my Airport Express.

  • Poor network speed with 1st generation time capsule and multiple airport express 5Ghz. My network speed slows to a crawl when not close to the time capsule. I get the range that I need, but the speed is painfully slow.

    Hello,
    I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
    After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
    In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
    As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
    Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • AirTunes and multiple Airport Express modules

    I was curious if there are plans to support connecting to multiple Airport Express modules? I have two modules in my home and would love to be able to send music to two different places at the same time.
    If there is a plan to introduce this option I'd love to know and if I already can I'd love to know how.
    Thanks

    I would love to know this as well.
    I have just purchased an older home and re-wiring the
    house is somewhat out of the question.
    I purchased two AirPort Express modules's, but then
    found out you can only play to one at a time. I
    would love to be able to play one play list in the
    basement and another in the living room upstairs
    without having to run two iTunes.
    Or at least play the same playlist to both at the
    same time?
    I too would like to know this. I have an older home and would like the option of playing the same music throughout the house or in just one location.
    Even being able to hear what is playing from the
    iTunes player would be decent as well.
    Any thoughts?

  • How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

    I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

  • Airplay and Multiple Airport Express setup

    New to the forums here so thanks for any help in advance. Airplay is working great on my iphone and ipad but to only one set of airport express at a time. My living room is a very long room, about 80 feet so I have an airport express at each end with speakers. On itunes on the phone I can play one set or with ipod on ipad I can also play one set of speakers but not both like on my computer. There is no multiple speaker option. I thought airplay could control multiple AE? Is this not an available feature yet? Both my AE have the latest firmware updates. Thanks again.

    i have two airport express stations set up on my network with speaker attatched to both in different rooms ... When I stream from my macbook there is no problem selecting which speaker to stream to but when I stream from my ipad now that I have airplay it shows both sets of speakers and lists them both as airport express but will only play to the first one in the list even when I try to select the second one it is defaulting back to the first set and playing on that one ... I even downloaded Remote which will let me stream music from my home share library to both speakers or either one from my ipad but I want to use it with other services like hulu to stream the sound to the speakers in the bedroom not the living room. Any ideas??

  • Trouble with itunes and time machine

    i am having trouble with my iphone and thought it may have been itunes, so i went into time machine and tried to replace my current version of itunes with the last one.

    I haven't been able to back up to my FreeAgent external hard drive
    The TM disk is your backup destination and I assume it is the Seagate FreeAgent disk. The source is your Mac.
    Wireless. I have a Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive plugged in by USB to the mac.
    You say it is connected via USB, yet your are saying backups are done wirelessly.
    From Terminal, can you post the output of tmutil destinationinfo (remove any personal information as you see fit)?

  • Having trouble with iTunes and your phone - try a new cable.

    I got a brand new V3i a couple of days ago. I couldn't get it to sync properly with iTunes.
    The symptoms included randomly locking up iTunes or not even automatically starting iTunes to begin with.
    Eventually I traced the problem back to the cable (that nice black cable that motorola gives you with the phone). If you are having problems try a new cable before you blame iTunes - any mini USB cable should work.
    I would be VERY surprised if I was alone with this problem. This sort of thing tends to happen in batches.

  • Airtunes iPhone and Multiple Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have 2 airport express's connected to speakers....can my iPhone connect to multiple AE's with AirTunes in the iPod mode?

    I don't think it can be done simultaneously if that's your question. However, you can let the iPhone arbitrate the wifi connection to any one of them at a time.

  • Having trouble with itunes and my podcast

    Hi im trying to upload a podcast onto itunes when put in the feed i get the message:
    There are no playable episodes for "L.I.F.E Crowd"
    The URL might point to text only episodes, or contain file types that
    iTunes cannot play.
    Where am i going wrong?, my feed is:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/LifeCrowd
    And the site is: http://www.lifecrowdpodcast.blogspot.com/
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not all that familiar with Feedburner, but as I understand it there are two ways of working with it: a) you create a feed in another program (or hand-write it), submit it to Feedburner and it will rewrite the feed and submit it to iTunes: and b) you create the podcast entirely in Feedburner.
    If a), you need to work with the program you are using, or write the feed, so that includes the enclosure tags with the direct links to the media files: Feedburner can only work with the information you give it.
    If b), you need to submit direct links to the actual media files, which must be mp3, .mov, .m4a or .m4v, not Flash or WMA. I can't advise on exactly how to use Feedburner in this way: please see their documentation.

  • Trouble with iTunes and iPhone

    Okay! First off I'm new to iTunes. Well kind of. I have the current edition of iTunes and software for iPhone. Its been having problems getting to the create ringtone wizard. I right click the song, click create tone. I sign in. It than does nothing. Yes my PC is authorized. Im doing everything correct. Im wondering when we get the iTunes store feature on the iphone? I dont have it, and some people are saying its out. Is that true?
    As for the ringtone problem. should i just throw itunes in the recycle bin and start all over????

    It should do one of two things in my experience. It will either bring up the ringtone editor, or return with a message saying that the song can no longer be made into a ringtone. If it is doing neither of these, I would uninstall itunes, shutdown, and restart then reinstall itunes.
    Just my thoughts...
