Tips and Troubleshooting

You Can’t Play Music on Your Stereo from iTunes

Check the following:
 Make sure your AirPort Express is plugged into a power outlet, is in range of your

computer, and that you have connected the appropriate cables. You may need to join

the AirPort Express network.

 Make sure to choose your AirPort Express from the speakers pop-up menu in iTunes.

 Make sure you are using iTunes 4.6 or later.

You Can't Hear Music Playing

If music is playing (the progress bar at the top of the iTunes window is moving) but

you can't hear anything, check the following:
 If you are trying to play music through speakers connected to an AirPort Express, and

you've selected the “Disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers” checkbox in

the Audio pane of iTunes preferences, make sure your remote speakers are selected

in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and the volume control on

the remote speakers isn't turned down.

You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password

You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort

Express. Follow these steps:

1

Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one

second.

2

Select your AirPort network.

 On a Macintosh, use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network

created by AirPort Express (the network name does not change).
