• You can access time capsule iTunes library using the Airport express

  Hello

  I I have an Apple Airport express and listen to music from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. I have just bought a Time Capsule from Apple and saved my MacBook to this. I would like to listen to the music of my Time Capsule, as is always on.

  Anyone know if this is possible?

  Thank you

  Unfortunately, your new Time Capsule is not an iTunes server. This is, in itself, it can not stream audio files stored on the internal hard drive to an AirPort Express or Apple TV point. You will still need to use iTunes on your MBP to do. You would just point to the media library on your Time Capsule in the case of iTunes. (Note: However, if your iTunes library is stored on the Time Capsule as a Time Machine backup, this no longer works.) "It will take a stand-alone copy of the one that was on your MacBook.)

• Connection error (streaming) at Airport Express to iTunes & Airfoil on Windows XP

  I use Windows XP 2002 SP3 on a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop, connect to a router Linksys WRT54G, providing a network home WPA2-Personal (TKIP + AES).

  I see my Airport Express 802.11n in iTunes 10.4.1 and can select it via the Airplay button. But when iTunes tries to connect, it comes up saying ' an error occurred during the connection to the antenna device xxx. ". An unknown error has occurred (error-15000).
  A similar problem happens with wing of Rogue Amoeba that I use to listen to the music of other applications such as VideoLAN to Airport Express. I see that my Airport Express is available but when Airfoil tries to connect, it comes up saying that "it seems that a firewall on this computer prevented Airfoil to connect to Airport Express xxx. Please check your firewall settings and try again. ».
  I put Airplay and iTunes as exception in my Windows Firewall configuration and even added 5000 to 5005 TCP and UDP ports 6000-6005 such exceptions recommended by the wing. I also disabled Symantec Endpoint Protection I installed. The only thing I can not disable is McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since I also use the laptop at work and I don't have permission to disable McAfee.
  How do I followed what happens is to prevent iTunes and wing of streaming to Airport Express Terminal?
  Also, I have a Windows Vista running on another laptop Dell Inspiron computer on the same network and have no problem streaming music from iTunes or the wing at the Airport Express on the same network.
  Thank you

  Hello

  You receive the error message relates to the firewall blocking the connection on Windows XP you can connect using Windows vista computer.

  You will need to disable Mcafee on the computer for which you can contact sysadmin at work in order to allow access to Mcafee and check if it helps.

• Can iTunes be listened to using non-Apple (Airport Express/Extreme example) devices?

  Hi guys, my first question to the forum and hope you can offer some advice.

  One of my friends would like to extend his network wi - fi wireless and listen to their iTunes library throughout the House. It has a large router broadband modem/hub and BT Infinity2. I was going to suggest linking an Airport Express and Airport Extreme solution to install broadband from BT, but in the case where it is costly to use non-Apple devices to stream music from iTunes?

  Any help greatly received.

  All my best

  Wuidar

  can I use non-Apple devices to stream music from iTunes?

  Much would depend on what device you want to listen to music to. Is - this AirPlay device is capable?

• 12.3.3.17 iTunes could not connect to devices AirPlay (Airport Express)

  After the update to iTunes 12.3.3.17 I can connect is more to Apple Airport Express.

  I updated iTunes to 12.3.3.17 on both computers:

  1. Windows 7 64-bit SP1 / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

  2 Windows 10 64 - bit / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

  On the Windows 10 computer, iTunes can connect and play all three Airport Express.  An iPod Touch can also flow to each of them.

  After the upgrade to 12.3.3.17 on the Windows 7 SP1 computer, iTunes can see all three Airport Express and they are not greyed out.  But when an any of them are selected in the dialog of speaker, iTunes tries to connect and after 30 seconds results in the error "an error occurred when connecting to the device AirPlay"xxx". The network connection timed out' and the selection is then grayed out.

  The network card on this PC, the router, and all three Airport Express everything seems to work properly as I can deliver on all of them using software third 'wing' with other applications as the source.  I can also control iTunes on the PC wirelessly from iPod with the Remote app.

  I just can no longer spread to one of the Express from the airport directly from iTunes after the 12.3.3.17 update.

  Any thoughts?

  Well, problem solved (mostly) by a lot of trial and error and it turns out be a problem of WF on the UDP ports must be open for Hello.  It was a bit of a surprise, because the Airfoil program (third party utility AirPlay) uses also Hello (that works).

  The Windows Firewall has a rule entry of inbound traffic for Hello to port 5353 UDP.  Changing the rule to allow all Ports (UDP) does the job.  So I studied what UDP ports were actually necessary for the Hello and Airplay and amended the rule again, this time replacing all Ports with these specific UDP port numbers: 554 (1900), 5289 5298, 5350, 5351, 5353, 49159, 49163

  However, that did not yet work so I ended up coming back to the all Ports configuration.

  If someone uses the firewall native Windows (preferably Windows 7, but probably the same for 8 and 10), I would be interested to know what UDP ports allows your Windows Hello firewall.

  Control Panel > Windows Firewall > advanced settings > inbound rules > Hello

  I had certainly not changed firewall settings before this update to iTunes (and AirPlay worked just hours before) and know not why the update seems to have changed the Windows Firewall settings, but that helps to explain why the Windows 10 computer worked fine after the update, because she was using the McAfee Security Suite firewall.

  Thank you!

• iTunes 12.3.3.17 plays do not through Airport Express

  Hello

  I currently have a playing difficult music through my Airport Express. Current configuration: MacBook Pro (2012) with OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 using iTunes 12.3.3.17 and an Airport Express (7.6.5 - connected to my stereo) Terminal and Airport (6.3.6) utility.

  I had initially the MacBook to the Airport Express connection problems and after a search on the topics of discussion found that I had to change the network settings (System Preferences > network > advanced > TCP/IP by changing parameters IPv6 off automatically or link-local only) solved this problem. Unfortunately, the only solution similar to what I was trying to do involved by turning the setting off IPv6, who then arrested the MBP talk to EI.

  iTunes has the choice to connect to Airport Express Terminal, but when I try I get the error message "an error occurred when connecting to the device. Airplay." The network connection timed out. »

  Is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration or is there another wireless router to which it is connected? If Yes, what is the make and model of this another router? If there is another router, the Express is configured to join its wireless network or to extend it?

• Using AirPort Express to stream audio to multiple AirPlay speakers?

  I'm looking to create a room without the need of a receiver wireless.  We have several AirPlay speakers allowed in our room, and I'm looking for a way to audio stream of my Apple TV of new generation for stakeholders.  Article I found online alluded to the idea that this can be accomplished by using an AirPort Express station.  I have a burning question, relating to the installation in the article I found:

  Several allowed AirPlay speakers are connected to the same network (or dedicated) set up on an AirPort Express in client mode (or the appropriate for AirPlay)

  I select this AirPort Express Terminal as a source alternative speaker on Apple TV

  What is going on?  Do all connected then AirPlay speakers receive the audio signal?  I sincerely do not find this anywhere online.  Apple's technical support was not able to answer this question.

  I have an Airport express.  I forward my iPhone airplay and the express has a plug audio mini that connects to my receiver, which in turn divides and distributes the audio channels to the appropriate speakers.

  He cannot receive and transmit audio to multiple airplay speakers.

  You can via a Mac however simultaneously transmit audio to multiple airplay speakers.

  This isn't something that Apple TV is capable.

  Finally do not know what you are trying to accomplish, but transmitting the same audio for all stakeholders would accomplish not something like Dolby 5.1 sound surround.  In the case of different sounds are directed towards the various stakeholders and that separation and management are performed by the receiver.

• AirPort Express works fine with OSx but not Windows

  Bought my AirPort Express 802.11n just a few months.

  It worked very well for all computers and mobile devices in my house.

  A few days ago, all of a sudden, PCs of my roommates started to get 'internet slow, yet shows the power of the full signal. Note that my Macbook Pro has no problems. A PC in my room has also no problem using Ethernet.

  My MBP is about 5 meters from the router with a door between the two. PCs of my roommates are about 8 to 10 meters from the router. I brought my MBP in their room and always get the same usual speed, I got in my room.

  Please notify. Really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

  The AirPort Express sends the same WiFi signal to all devices.  If computers have connection problems, it's a number PC... not an AirPort Express station.  I don't think there's a lot of guys here on an Apple forum PC... but it is possible that we could see your message and comment.

  In the meantime, you might want to try to restart the AirPort Express, restart the PC and overlooking this support document

• There is Airfoil and Airport Express, latency/delay time?

  I want to be able to direct the output of my iMac "end 2014' 5K (10.11.6) on my stereo system (ParaSound P3/A23) using AirFoil 5 with Airport Extreme > Airport Express."

  But the audio output should be "real time." in other words, no delay or latency at all. Both are in the same room!

  I use notation software (Sibelius) and need to hear what I write immediately. Unlike streaming where I think there is an acceptable delay (2 seconds?) for the buffering?

  Is this possible please?

  If it isn't with AirFoil, any advice on how welcome :-)

  I want to be able to direct the output of my iMac "end 2014' 5K (10.11.6) on my stereo system (ParaSound P3/A23) using AirFoil 5 with Airport Extreme > Airport Express."

  With AirPlay (or Bluetooth), there will always be a form of delay or latency with streaming audio.

  In this scenario, an audio stream (on AirPlay) will go first to your iMac to AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Terminal.

  To help understand why there will be delays, let's look at high-level "behind the scenes" about how works AirPlay:

  For the AirPort Express (AX), audio input is provided mainly by iTunes. Of course, it can also get feedback from other sources as you know, as of Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.

  For streaming, iTunes or wing does most of the work. What is app reads audio content standard (AAC, MP3, audio books, Internet music streams, etc., it decompresses these file formats and creates what is essentially a raw, uncompressed audio stream.) This stream is compressed using Lossless Compression of Apple (via a QuickTime codec), encrypted with AES 128 bits and then listened (airplay) with an AXE. The stream is buffered for about 2 seconds until the stream is sent. The AX deciphers the flow, decodes and exports in a digital or analog PCM (using a built-in DAC) flows to its audio analog-to-digital versatile optical port.

  So, with the above, you can see that the tone does not simply move source to the destination without much more things. You will not be able to entirely eliminate the delay. Sorry!

• AirPort Express added to "AirTunes" music to the network

  Hi guys, just a quick bit of advice of you would be good - I want to add an AirPort express to my set up as a dedicated "iTunes Speaker." So far, I have used a 1st generation Apple TV as my extension of iTunes, but this has made me now, and I don't need a model later that I don't need the video capabilities of it - I just need something to the music of airtime either my iPhone or, for most of the time, iTunes on my MacBook Pro.

  My network is as follows:

  Internet comes to DSL modem cable, which is connected to the Wan 2nd generation (500 GB) airport Time Capsule for LAN and WiFi. ATV has been directly linked by ethernet (via a Netgear switch) and my MacBook and iPhone use WiFi (802.11n 5 GHz)

  While I was looking for the original to the current model Express Airport (A1392) and using that passthrough network local ethernet of the TC to the switch (which continues to provide my TV, games console box, etc.) and possibly use it as a WiFi extender too (further strong WiFi to the garden for example - the TC is on the floor and it's down) , but then I thought - the oldest AirPort Express (A1264) allowed? And rather than go through the ethernet LAN of the floor (because it doesn't have two WAN/LAN ports, as the current model), but rather just hanging the switch via ethernet and to connect it to my amp to pump music iTunes/iPhone?

  If I had to, I would still be able to use it as a way to extend the range of my 802.11n network (that I don't know if 1 model made gen only 2.4 or 5 GHz)

  A1264 models are fairly cheap on eBay these days and would be an inexpensive way to add music streaming capabilities in my set up.

  Thank you!

  the old AirPort Express (A1264) usable?

  Yes

  And rather than go through the ethernet LAN of the floor (because it doesn't have two WAN/LAN ports, as the current model), but rather just hanging the switch via ethernet and to connect it to my amp to pump music iTunes/iPhone?

  It works

  If I had to, I would still be able to use it as a way to extend the range of my 802.11n network?

  Yes

  (as I don't know if 1 model made gen only 2.4 or 5 GHz)

  The A1264 can do is 2.4 GHz... or. .... 5 GHz, but not both at the same time.

• Why is it not my Airport Express recognized by Airport utility

  I recently bought a second hand Airport Express (2nd generation).  I gave him a second 10 reset, turned and opened the last Airport utility.  The airport reported no signs of an Airport Express, light orange just kept flashing slowly.

  In the end, I tried an Ethernet between my PC and the Airport Express and the device was picked up by the utility, I set to wireless, WPA, password, country, and anything else relevant.  After a power cycle with cable Ethernet has deleted the device worked perfectly, wireless streaming audio for my Hi Fi.

  If I had not had access to a PC with Ethernet I would not not have been able to establish the airport.  My old Airport Express (2nd generation) who bought new is recognized by Airport utility after a complete reset.

  Anyone know what may be missing in the implementation of the recent addition or what might happen here?

  When you say you have tried the 'later' AirPort Utility, it was for a Mac or an iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.?

  If it's a Mac, after resetting the AirPort Express Terminal, you can get the running "Wizard" configuration by clicking the WiFi menu at the top of the screen of the Mac and then by clicking on the AirPort Express to the title of the announcement of the new AirPort base station.

  

  If you were using an iOS device, iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc... then you would press to go to the home screen, tap Settings (gear icon), tap on WiFi and tap AirPort Express under the title of the new Station of configuration database

  

  Did you use one of the methods above to get the configuration "Wizard" running?

  If you simply open AirPort Utility, after that the Express has been reset, it does not appear in the main AirPort Utility... unless you clicked the button other peripheral WiFi and then clicked on the AirPort Express to get the "Wizard" configuration running.  In other words, if the Terminal AirPort Express had already been settled until... it seems utilitarian AirPort. But, you would not have seen it in the main window of AirPort Utility since will appear here only devices that have been implemented.

• Connect AirPort Express to lemon (Rogers Rocket) Wireless Modem/Router

  I just got Rogers Wireless internet new modem/router Hitron.  I use modem/router mode.  It's great. Very fast and a lot of range. Covers all 3 floors of my house.

  I want to connect an Apple Terminal to my Hitron router with an ethernet cable and put the Hitron in Bridge mode. I want to continue to use the Hitron router as my main and only router.

  However on another floor, I would use an Apple Airport Express connected to my stereo with a jack 1/8 '' to play my music wirelessly from my iTunes from Apple.

  To do this, I need this Apple Airport Express Terminal to 'find' the Hitron router.  How can I get to find the router Hitron?

  I guess that you have a current version or recent of the AirPort Express with the default settings.

  As long as the AirPort Express is located where it can receive a strong signal of the modem/router...and wireless Hitron the Hitron aircraft provides a wireless signal that uses industry standard wireless settings, the AirPort Express can 'join' the wireless network. Wired Ethernet is not necessary.

  Note that the AirPort Express will not "spread" or "repeat" the signal from the router/modem lemon to provide additional coverage of wireless signal wireless, but it can be used to join the wireless network and provide a signal of airtime for your stereo.

  Simply use a Mac running a current or recent operating system, or an iPhone/iPad and configuration "Wizard" Apple to set up things upward. The wizard will automatically offer the correct configuration to 'join' the wireless network. All you really need to do is to enter a device name that you want to use for the AirPort Express and the password of the wireless network and confirm.

  Start the wizard by clicking on AirPort Express under the title of the new AirPort base station.

  

  On an iPhone or iPad, the screen looks like this:

  

  In the example below, the wizard has detected a network named "2WIRE902" for the AirPort Express join. You will see the name of the wireless network that provides the Hitron modem/router on your screen. Just enter a name of device for the Express, then type the wireless network password, then type it again to verify.

  Click next at the bottom right of the window and the AirPort Express displays a green light for a minute or two and you're done.

  

• How to put in place the new Airport Express to extend the current wireless WiFi U-Verse home network?

  Hello

  What are the steps for the creation of a new AIRPORT EXPRESS MC414LL/A Terminal so that it make that expand my network existing wireless, using my current AT & T UVerse equipment home.  Here are the details...

  Internet service provider: AT & T U-Verse

  Existing facilities: primary AT & T provided router/Modem: ARRIS NVG589 (reference 587234-004-00) that manages my house wired and wireless Wi - Fi.

  PROBLEM: Does not offer full Wi - Fi coverage

  SOLUTION: Attempt to add a new Terminal Airport Express so that it will extend coverage of the existing Wi - Fi network wireless.  I plan on the use of certain features such as streaming my content from iTunes to my sound, surround sound, etc Airport Express Library.

  NEW FEATURE: APPLE AIRPORT EXPRESS 802.11n Wi - Fi PART # MC414LL/A

  I wish I had AT & T equipment to continue to manage the Wi - Fi and network functionality (DNS, firewall, etc.), as it currently does.  However, I want to use the Airport Express to extend Wi - Fi coverage.  I already have a cable ethernet from the floor and the AT & T ARRIS NVG589.  I just need to know how to set up my new Apple Airport Express.

  Thank you!

  With the Express connected to Arris gateway with Ethernet, you have the basis for a roaming network.

  I would recommend that you run the AirPort Utility and allow it to run automatic installation of the Express. The utility should detect that the Express is connected by Ethernet and go through the steps to properly set up. Note: If you have made any changes to the Express since out of the box, I strongly suggest that you first perform a 'factory' reset on it to make sure that the installation went well.

• Airport Express works with iPod Hifi?

  I have iPod Hifi and I would like to buy Airport Express to make them wireless and play the songs of Mac and iPhone. Would this work? What else do I need? Also the wifi extending functionality would work fine too?

  Thank you for your time.

  The iPod Hi-Fi is not a loan AirPlay device. However, it has a 3.5 mm analog/digital audio input port that can be connected to an AirPort Express Terminal for reading iTunes stream from either the Mac or iPhone.

  Note: Both the Express and the iPod Hi-Fi built in DAC to convert to digital-to-analog audio sources.

  With respect to the extension of Wifi, the wireless router to be extended with the Express should be another Apple product: Express Extreme and Time Capsule.

• Is it possible to use the AirPort Express to AirPlay only? (Wireless)

  Hello

  I have a speaker and I would empower AirPlay for it. I have an old airport express here in my house and I wanted to plug my express from the airport to my wireless network and allow the airplay.

  The only thing I don't want to not remove is the possibility to extend the wireless network, because I'm pretty sure it will do more bad then good, since I was a big of AC very close to the speaker wireless router. (http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RT-AC5300)

  Is it possible to use the Airport express only airplay? Without trying to extend my network?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  Tiago

  Yes, if you have the main router near the speakers... then simply plug the Express into the enclosure of the ethernet... Run it in Bridge mode and turn off wireless... Then check if you can find it in iTunes etc to send the stream of airtime.

  Or you can configure it to join a wireless network... it will not extend... Apple call it client mode.
