Win XP : problems for itune to connect the airport remote speakers

Hi there,
My config is iTunes installed on my PC, a Tecom wifi router and two airport express base stations connected to speakers in different rooms of my flat.
At first, iTunes has no problem for seeing the airport stations and the music goes well through the wifi.
After two or three days, the PC doesn't see the stations anymore in iTunes (they actually still show, but in gray) .
If I want them to be seen again, I need to close iTunes, go to "connexions", disconnect my PC from the network, connect again, run iTunes again, and then... it works !
That's a bit boring. As strange as it could be, the act of shuting down my PC every night and running it "fresh" every morning doesn't help.
Has any one any suggestion on how it could work better ?

Hello Deb Parks. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure if, by product key, you mean the encryption password for your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) wireless network. Is your AEBSn's wireless network currently running encryption (WEP or WPA)? If so, temporarily disable it, and then, see if the PC can connect.

  • I installed 10, iTunes no longer connects to airport Remote Speakers

    Boy, this is real irritating. I just use iTunes to stream internet radio to my stereo. It was all working fine, then I updated to v10 and nothing works anymore.
    BIG PROBLEM...the option to choose computer speakers or remote speakers DISAPPEARED. Well, it was there for a second after I ran iTunes 10 for the first time, then the option DISAPPEARED.
    Heck, I even unistalled everything and went back to v9.2.1....But the same problem...ITS GONE!
    Now even I can't get iTunes to even connect to my Airport Express at all to even play music on the computer speakers.
    Grrrrrr. I was all bloody working till v10 came along!!!
    BTW, I'm using Comodo firewall. It was all working before, like I said.

    Well I uninstalled Comodo and turned on Windows firewall. I re-installed iTunes.
    I went into firewall settings and iTunes was checked off (allowed) for both home & public networks. Didn't work. I saw Bonjour on there and just 'home' was checked off, so I checked off 'public' to see if it mattered.
    It did work. iTunes connected to the remote speakers....but for some reason, only for a very short period, then I get a network error.
    This is freaking unbelievable. It was all working fine till I stupidly updtated to 10. Grrrrrrrrr

  • ITunes not connecting to AirTunes remote speakers after upgrade to 7.6.1

    Hi
    I've just noticed that iTunes is refusing to connect to my AirPort Express. Or rather, it's ignoring me when I ask it to connect; it's as if I didn't select the remote speakers at all. It is displaying them in the remote speakers menu, and allowing me even to bring up the "multiple speakers" option, but won't respond to me selecting them). It's only started doing this since the update to 7.6.1.
    The problem is not with the AirPort unit; my partner's MacBook running 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6 will connect to it happily (thankfully she hasn't updated to 7.6.1 yet).
    Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this simply a bug I need to report to the good people at Apple?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not working here either on v7.6.1.
    Doesn't always find Airtunes speakers, works for a bit, then playback hangs at 0:00.
    Quitting and restarting iTunes seems to get it (temporarily) working again.
    Also, the iTunes volume control is broken - it plays at 100% volume regardless of volume setting and regardless of whether the "Disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers" option is checked.
    All in all, a very poor release.

  • I just did an itunes update on my windows vista 64 and have been getting a runtime error eversense.  Unstalled everything apple per microsoft forum discussions and solved the problem.  When is apple going to update this problem for itunes?

    I just recently did an itunes update on my Windows Vista 64 and have been getting a runtime C++ R0634 error ever since. Per microsoft forum discussions, I have removed everything apple on my computer to get this runtime error to stop.  When I tried to remove and reinstall itunes, I get an error message during installation and to try again. Has just become a cycle.  Apple, are you working on this? 

    I have exactly the same problem.  Got update notice from Apple for iTunes and getting the C++ runtime error R0634 ever since.  I have no clue how to fix it....meantime, I can't even pull up Outlook to check email.  HELP!!

  • Does it create a problem if I only connect the backup external drive every few days for use with Time Machine?  Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

    After a near miss with my 4-year old MacBook, I finally wised up and purchased a WD My Passport for Mac to back up my hard drive. I connected the Passport today and have performed the first full backup.  However, I do not wish to keep it permanently connected to the laptop.  Does this create a problem if I only connect the drive every few days?  Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

    Hello,
    I don't think it'll cause a problem, but I'd disable/turn off Time Machine before disconnecting, then turn it back on after you connect it again.

  • I am seeing Item Not Available in the U.S. store for iTunes music on the iPhone. Is anyone else seeing this?

    I am seeing Item Not Available in the U.S. store for iTunes music on the iPhone 6Plus. Is anyone else seeing this?
    The other sections of the iTunes store seem to have errors as well.

    I've seen a couple of other threads in the last 10 minutes posting about problem with the store, both have now replied saying that it's working again for them - you could give it another go and see if it's now ok for you

  • I tried to update my iPod and now it's saying that iTunes cannot connect the iPod. What should I do?

    I updated my iTunes and then went to update my iPod to the newer 4.2 version that it kept asking me to and now it says that iTunes cannot connect the iPod. My iPod is now unusbale because the screen on the iPod itself shows that i need to connect it to iTunes, but when I do, there's an error message that pops up telling me that iTunes cannot connect it. Help!! How do I fix this?!

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • I have a problem when iTunes card insert the card number comes message the code you entered has not been properly activated

    I have a problem when iTunes card insert the card number comes message the code you entered has not been properly activated

    Is the store that you bought it from close so that you could try going back to them and ask them to activate the card properly ? If not then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • ITunes 10.6.3.25 on ethernet connection loses airport express speakers but iPhone 4 airplay works

    Hi,
    I have started experiencing a problem this past week (Aug 2012) that I see sometimes reported here.  When I run iTunes 10.6.3.25 on a Win7 machine that is connected by ethernet to my router, the airport express speakers would regularly disappear.  I can always connect to these airport express via airplay from my iPhone 4.  In fact when the airplay speakers disappear from iTunes on the ethernet-connected machine, I can reliably make them reappear by turning on the Music app on the iPhone.  But after a while the airplay speakers would disappear again.  On a Win7 laptop connected via wifi to the network the same version of iTunes seems so far not to exhibit the same problem.
    Has anyone discovered what the underlying problem is or found a solution?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

  • HT4259 I am trying to connect airport express to extend the range of my airport tower. What type of cords do I need to connect the airport express to a hardwired outlet in the wall of a bedroom?

    I am trying to connect my airport express to extend the range of my network to a bedroom that is hard wired for internet. What type of cord/cords do I need to do that?

    You can connect the AirPort Express to the wall port in the bedroom for the setup.....but first....if you have not already done so.....it would be a great idea to make sure that the connection in the bedroom is working correctly.
    To do that, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the wall port in the bedroom using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way.  If it can, this tells you that the cabling is working correctly, so the Express will work well when you connect it up.
    If you don't have a laptop with an Ethernet port, then we'll have to assume that the folks that pulled the cables and installed the jacks tested things as part of the installation.
    When you are ready to install the Express, you can use an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy for the setup.

  • HT1126 Can I connect the Airport Express directly to my wireless router?

    The old owner of my house set the Air port for my use, gave me a password ... when I tried it, the password never worked.
    DO not want to lose my old wireless system as it allows me to do more than just the Air Port.
    should I reset the system?

    can i connect the airport express into an ethernet port in the wall
    I assume you are asking about obtaining an Internet connection here.
    First, temporarily turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet wall jack with an Ethernet cable. Can you log on to the Internet this way?
    If yes, then you can connect an AirPort Express to this Ethernet port and configure it to provide a wireless signal for multiple devices.
    If no, then you can connect the Express, but you will not have an Internet connection.

  • Can I connect the Airport Express to a TV and watch the screen of my Mac on the TV?

    Could I know if I can connect the Airport Express to the TV and watch the screen of my Mac or iPad or iPhone... On the TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's not possible with an AirPort Express. However, what you can do is to use an Apple TV if you want to mirror your iPhone, iPad and Mac onto the TV, being all of them connected to the AirPort Express. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
