Wireless Music System Issue in Windows 7

I've been using the wireless music system for a few years and love it. However, I have an issue with it in Windows 7. all the software installs fine and appears to be functioning correctly. I did notice that the updated software driver does give me a network not ready error.
The main issue I have been unable to solve is when starting the media server it shows it's running at the address of 27.0.0. not the address of the machine. With it running at this address the receiver never can find the server.
I haven't been able to configure the receiver as I get a error message saying there is a problem with the wirelss network. when i do plug in the receiver, it lists the name I named it under XP. I am able to ping the device from Windows 7 as well as two other XP machines so it has retained it's address. When I boot back into XP it connects fine. I don't think the issue is with the receiver since when I go back to XP everything works fine.
Does anyone have an idea how to make the media server run on the IP address of the computer itself rather than the local host address? I noticed also that in the properties for windows media player in the network section in Windows 7 it also shows that it is running on the same 27.0.0. address.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hate to think I might have to come up with something new.

hi, to get past this stage of the instalation you need to use a usb wired mouse, this means a mouse that has a wire and usb to plug into your mac.
the onscreen keyboard can be found if you click on the icon on the bottom left of the setup screen (looks similar to a wheelchair sgn)
a usb wireless mouse or keyboard will not work because the wireless drivers are not yet installed in windows. they will install along with all other drivers when you open the bootcamp drive (can be found in win7; "my computer"
in win 8; "this pc") and click on setup exe. this installs bootcamp on the windows side and installs all the drivers that you downloaded while originally running bootcamp assistant.

Music Sync Issues with Windows 7 PC

I am having issues where iTunes freezes when syncing music to my iPad. iTunes completely freezes, the sync doesn't complete, and the music is not seen as visible to the PC until a reboot. There are other posts in the forum for Mac users that talk about old plug-ins being the culprit; the instructions for how to find the plug-ins are written for Mac users, so does anyone know how to look at these with Windows 7? Also, there is a fix listed on the forum but my PC doesn't know what to do with these (doesn't recognize the program type). Any ideas on how to fix?
The other posting also states that this can happen when an iPhone is on the same account...I have an iPhone on this account as well.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Nope. No hangs in vista not XP. But, I won't have a phone that can't tether so I don't have an iphone too.
Is it backing up? I hear it's slow for lots of data. For no good reason other than a bad host tool (itunes).

Sonos Wireless Music System not compatible with iTunes music!

Just purchased this $1,700 Sonos system so I can listen to my iTunes library throughout the house w/o spending $10,000 on a audio/visual professional!!! Anyone have any idea how to make these two systems compatible? I feel like someone just caved my chest in with a sledgehammer.
Powerbook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

iTunes works fine with it.
Songs purchased from the iTunes Music store will not work as they are DRM protected and the SONOS does not decode the Fairplay DRM used.
You can burn the songs to CD and reimport them and they will work fine.
I feel like someone just caved my chest in with a sledgehammer.
I’m wondering why you would spend $1700 without doing a little research...

Can Sonos music systems interfere with Apple tv?

I have an apple tv located next to a Sonos wireless music system. I'm experiencing major buffering issues when watching movies and tv shows purchased or rented. On iTunes via apple tv. Have reset and restored apple tv. Have checked Internet speed and it's 12 Mbps. Sonos is next On list. Could it be interfering and causing the buffering ? Might they be using the same channels? It's s bad I can't watch. Movies or tv. Shows.

have you tried to pull the plug on the sonos to see if it helps ?

Connecting the Wireless Music Sys

I recently purchased the Wireless Music System and hooked it up according to the instructions. The issue I have is that I cannot get any music out of my stereo receiver. From the remote I am able to access all of the tracks on my computer, but when I select play I get nothing out of the stereo system. Should the remote show the track is playing by showing it is counting the secons of the track? Mine only highlights the track after I hit the play button, and shows the name of the track when I go through the now playing portion. The track will play on my computer, so it appears they are ok. I verified the stereo input works by hooking a CD player to the input w/ the same cables and it played fine. Any help anyone might have on this would be greatly aprreciated.

It doesn't appear to be having difficulty connecting, but this is a new install for me so I have no reference point. The stereo receiver I am using is about 0 years old, but it has a hook-up for a CD and I verified they work, so I assumed it should be ok. Is there any reason to believe it would not be capable of handling the MP3 data through these same inputs? I will check into the firmware when I get home. Thanks for the suggestions.

Wireless Music: Product Stat

Hi there,
does anyone know if Creative still consider the Wireless Music system as a "li've" product?
I've just been trawling the forum looking for info about drop outs and freezes, and found a thread where the moderator was kind enough to email a test version of a new firmware to those that requested it. This thread started months ago and as far as I can see this firmware has still not been posted to the official download site. This seems to imply that Wireless Music isn't receiving much love & attention from Creative. Are we likely to see any further development of the system in the future?
I love the LCD remote supplied with the system but with a large song library finding a particular track can take far too long. Are there any plans to update the software in the remote to either improve the scrolling speed or improve the search facilities?
Cheers,
Q.

Cat,
Please pass along the bug with accented characters in the Artist name like M?tley Crue. Using the remote if you go in by artist to the albums under the artist and then select the album, nothing displays. If you go in directley from albums it works fine. This is a software bug that's been identified for about a year now and nothing has been done to correct it. As can be seen by this example and others there appears to be a black hole somewhere between the moderators and the developers (if there are any).

Wireless music setup. Does Remote App require a special version of iTunes?

I am about to create a wireless music system in my house. It is supposed to be able to play different songs at the same time in different rooms.
Setup as follows:
NAS server to host music cabled to Airport Extreme Base Station, MAC Mini (leopard) with one version of iTunes version 4.1 installed on different users (which will be labeled living room, kitchen etc.) and Fast Switching User enabled, MAC Mini also cabled to Airport Extreme Base Station which sends to a number of Airport Express' in all the rooms I want music in, Airport Express connects to powered speakers. Everything is to be controlled by Remote on a couple of iPhones.
I’m told that to make this work I have to use an old edition of iTunes, namely 4.1. This worries me that I cannot verify that iTunes 4.1 works with the Remote app.
Can anyone comment on Remote – iTunes 4.1 relation, please?
Comments on the setup in general are also happily received.
BR, S. Klauber

Considering the complexity of what you have in mind, and also that you still have to invest in the equipment, you might want to consider a Sonos system. Now they also have an iPhone app, so you don't even need to buy the dedicated remote (which alone is pricy enough). Before AirTunes was able to stream to multiple APXs at the same time, I seriously considered it – but in the end I'm glad I didn't go for the Sonos, since AirTunes currently covers my needs.
I don't have an Airport Extreme, but I have to say that the iMac is connected directly to one of the APX. (The other APX is connected only wirelessly to the system, and a couple of rooms away.) If you don't need to connect USB drives to the base station, you don't really need to buy an Extreme, as the APX is a perfectly autonomous base station.
Nonetheless, as you might have read in the forums, the AirTunes system does not always work flawlessly, and can be quite moody, especially when interference is present. But interference (like with microwave ovens) should be less of a problem with new equipment, if you make it work at 5 GHz.
Lastly, having two iTunes libraries doesn't mean that you have to duplicate data on disk. If you set up iTunes so it just references files on your NAS, you can have two (or more) libraries that use the same files. But the two libraries are necessary so that the various instances of iTunes running simultaneously do not create data conflict. Having multiple libraries on the same data can be a bit of a pain if you add music often, as you'd have to keep them in sync, but there might be tools to help you with that.

Soundblaster Wireless Music - Apple Mac Compatab

Quick question - I am thinking of buying the wireless music system and wondered if it is Apple Mac compatable?
Thanks in advance
Peter

I checked the lierature for system requirements and it only lists Win98 or newer, no mention of Mac. Maybe a CL person would comment on possible future plans. Typically they won't comment on unannounced products though.

SB Wireless Music - Queue Funct

I love my Wireless Music system. The only problem is I can't seem to get it to queue a list of songs.
Everytime I go through the list on the reciever, if I hit play, it stops the song that is playing instead of queuing it up for play AFTER the current song. Is there something I can do to get this to happen?

You have to press AND HOLD the play button to add tracks to the end of the now playing queue. See the user's guide pages 29 - 3.

Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes . Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
Please let me know what happens
Thanks

Itunes issues with windows 8... laggy?

anyone one else having abit a of laggy issue with playing music on windows 8?
i just upgraded to windows 8 con. preview, and its great and fast.
i use to have windows 7 and itunes never skipped a beat.
i have a sony viao with an upgraded ram and ssd hdd.
and its pretty fast.
so i dont think its my computer and windows 8 seems to be fine.
anyone else having this issue? but it only happens now and then.......
NOTE:
i have my music all copied to my sdd hdd aswell
and thats all thats really on there as i have ext. hdd's.
i have a average size library in itunes with around about 50gb of music.

I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped!
