branchandrootHonestly, can't they test anything any more?
For the benefit of others whose iTunes suddenly no longer connects to their older AirPorts for in-house streaming: You just need to turn off IPv6 on your network settings (because older AirPorts can't handle that protocol and Lion plus newer iTunes makes it the default).
Open Terminal.
Paste in: networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi
Return. Paste in: networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
Return. Restart iTunes, connect to your bloody AirPorts and enjoy once again. Possibly pause to shower curses on the new management of Apple who apparently don't allow for little things like backwards compatibility any more.
Incidentally, to reverse this, just go into Settings > Network > Ethernet/Wi-Fi > Advanced and re-set the IPv6 drop-down menu to Automatic. Why the "off" setting couldn't stay included there without screwing around in the command line is beyond me. You'd think they were getting interface engineers from Microsoft or something.
