I went to play some music on my stereo for the first time in a few
weeks (my Airport Express is plugged into it). Nothing came out, so
I checked my iTune, and cannot find the speaker button. I have
iTunes 10.7, how do I get this button back?

If iTunes spots an AirPlay/AirTunes device on the network, it has the
AirPlay icon in the lower right corner of the window (rectangle
representing a TV screen, with a triangle pointing into it from
beneath).

If you can't see that icon, then for some reason iTunes doesn't know
about your Airport Express. Could be confusion on the part of one or the
other (try powering the AE off and on again, or quitting and relaunching
iTunes), or a settings change in your AE which disabled AirTunes, or a
network connectivity problem.

I unplugged and plugged in my Airport Express. It has an amber light
lit. Then I came downstairs & turned off and turned on iTunes. The
icon is back.

Thanks!
