Ok, It took me a little bit to figure out why iTunes 8 (8.0.1 and 8.0.2) will no longer stream to my AirPort Express (6.3 Firmware). I searched the Apple forums and the Net, but did not find any solutions. My Apple Airport Express was connnected with the green light and iTunes allowed me to select it, but there would be no audio coming from my home theatre.
Last night I went through with the AirPort Utility and reconfigured the AirPort Express and to double check my firmware was up to date. After sleeping on it I decided to see what I could do in the iTunes prefereces.
I found a solution (workaround)!!!!
- Open up preferences and under the devices uncheck Look for remote speakers with AirTunes.
- Hit OK and Close iTunes.
- Open iTunes and go back to your preferences and check Look for remote speakers with AirTunes.
- Hit OK and you should be set to stream to your AirPort Express
So, it seems the issue has to do with iTunes, not your AirPort Express.
iTunes 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 still an issue.
I am running Microsoft Vista Home Premium.
I’ve noticed this happening everytime my Apple Airport Express gets unplugged while iTunes is running.
I have not had any issues with iTunes 9.x.x.
