Hi.
I have an airport express circa 3 years ago and I've never had problems streaming internet radio into my home stereo. Thing is, I haven't done that since around iTunes 10 came out. I've only listened on my computer speakers. iTunes is up do date.
My problem is is that today I wanted to use remote speakers. However, it no longer connects. I get this "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device".
So, I google around and find something about going into the airport utility and turning on this 'airplay' thing that Apple has instituted and that I have no idea what the heck its for, or what it does, only that as far as I'm concerned is an added layer of baloney to sort out that has broken my system.
Back to the utility. Not only does it have a checkbox, but it wants a bloody password. Which password, I don't know, because instead of simply asking for either my airport base station pass or the network pass (the wpa2 thing), Apple has come up with some new name to confuse the issue..."iTunes Speaker Password".
So which pass is this supposed to refer to? The base pass or the network pass? Well, I checked off the 'airplay' box and tried both passwords, and I still get.."There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device"!
This same nonsense happened ever since v10 and this airport crap came out on my pc laptop as well.
Well, I don't expect anything to work on a pc, but my macs are a different story. How do I get the remote speakers to work again. I'm PO'd and its with Apple ever since this bloody airplay showed up.
Thanks

Oh, I don't believe this. Even after I had enabled Airplay in the airport utility and still getting the "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device", apparently it literally meant "THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS CONNECTED!"
I didn't have my little stereo mini plug form my stereo plugged in the airport express. I had no idea that the airport is going to care whether an audio cable was plugged into it or not! Oh man.
Jeez..
Anyways, that still didn't matter with the pc cuz even when it was connected it still wouldn't work.
