Airplay not working (only works through iTunes)

Hi, I am having problems getting my Airplay to work on my Pro.
If I am playing music through iTunes and have Airplay selected music will play through the Airplay speakers. However, when I Option-click the sound icon at the top right of the screen and select my AirPlay as the output device nothing happens. Similarly, when I go through the Sound-System Preferences I see my AirPlay as an option. If I select it it automatically deselects and returns to the Internal Speakers options. This is a problem because I don't exclusively use iTunes for music or want to project video sound through Airplay.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am running OSX 10.9.5 and my AirPort Express has recently been updates as well.
Thanks.

  • Playback only works while playing through iTunes

    My iPod Classic 5th generation (30gb) works and plays fine while playing music through itunes when the iPod has "manage music and videos" is checked. Any other time when the iPod is not connected to the computer, through headphones or on a dock connector iHome, there is no sound. The songs look to play normally with second bar moving along as normal but no sound is produced.
    Any ideas?
    Much appreciated.

    I have this exact same problem.  My 5th Generation 30gb iPod won't play through headphones or my cars auxillary jack anymore; it only plays through iTunes when it's plugged up to my computer.  This literally happend overnight and I have no idea how to correct it.  Any help please?

  • Why does Do Not Disturb only work when the iPhone is locked?

    I've been wanting for awhile now a way to easily turn off all notification alerts and incoming calls while keeping cellular data and wi-fi on so I can use my phone in peace without gimping my wireless connections, and even though iOS 6 as a whole seems awesome to me, I'm disappointed Do Not Disturb only works when the iPhone is locked.

    Was just wondering if other people felt the same way I do and start a discussion about it so maybe that with more people talking about it, Apple would pay attention to it more. People complaining about how calls and alerts were lighting up their screen at night seems to be some inspiration to why Apple added Do Not Disturb in the first place. Didn't know I was doing anything in violation of the Terms of Use so sorry about that.

  • I can not restore my iphone through iTunes

    I can not restore my iphone through iTunes , it gives you can not restore error accured 3194

    This often happens with Jailbroken phones.  If that's the case, we can't support you in these forums as it is against the terms of use.  This is Apple's information on error 3194:
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    If iTunes sees the iPod, try a manual install, as pointed out on link below.

  • I purchased a new vehicle with a USP port but my nano model A199 will not work, only works with the aux plug which will not allow me to view the songs on the vehicle touchscreen. Is there a download I can get to put into this nano?

    I purchased a new vehicle and the older ipod nano I have will not work through the USP  port, only works through the aux plug. Is there a download i can get toput into the nano that will then allow me to use the USP port instead of the aux port?

    Check with your dealer and see if there is a special cable available for connecting your iPod. It should have a dock connector on one end and USB and miniplug on the other.

  • Why is my bonjour working only intermittently with itunes

    I have an existing airport extreme wireless set-up that works well.
    However, iTunes only occasionally shows the library of the laptop on the desktop and conversly the desktop on the laptop. Why is this not happening every time both machines are awake and iTunes open?
    Is there something I have to trigger to get this to work?
    Thanks,

  • Itouch sound not working - only works with earbuds

    I recently purchased an Itouch and the sound only works with earbuds? Please help, what am I doing wrong

    nothing, there aren't any external speakers on the touch so you will only be able to hear music, etc with the earbuds. i assume that is what you are talking about. unless you are having problems when it is connected to a docking station with speakers.

  • Classic iPod not charging; only works when plugged in

    My iPod Classic would work only when plugged in my computer or to the wall. I noticed that when I plug it, the battery automatically turns green and the fully-charged symbol appear. However, when I unplug it, it doesn't work. Any ideas on what I can do? It's no longer under gaurantee so anything that I can do at home would be helpful. Thank you xx

    Seems very unlikely you need a new Macbook since it works when "plugged in"; at worst you will have to spring for a new battery.
    Try running this program - it will give you info about the state of the battery:

  • Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

    Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

    I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
    They are all on the same network.  I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
    I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
    I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.

  • Keyboard shortcut i doesn't work, only works if i press fn key. but listed as i in keyboard shortcuts

    hi
    the shortcut i has never worked with my computer, (MacBook Pro 2013 OSX 10.9). regardless of whether i use premiere pro cs6 or cc, whether i set my keyboard to british or german. it only works if i press the fn key, sometimes doesn't even work then, then i have to use a button/mouse. but if i go to Premiere Pro > Keyboard shortcuts it is listed that it should work.
    (actually i think i used to have the same problem with my former mbp and final cut pro 7. but i'm not 100% sure about that...)
    this is really quite annoying and i would appreciate any advice!
    thanks

    Just for understanding: you press the letter "i" on the keyboard to "set Inpoint" right? What happens if you plug an external keyboard?
    Some Shortcuts use the numpad (eg move selected clips on timeline by 12 frames forward/backward type "+" or "-" and "12" on the numpad) and "fn+i" is something on the numpad i guess.

  • HT4528 my month and a half old iphone 5s had a blue screen and now just has a black screen. will not reboot or restore through itunes. what do i do?

    my  iphone 5s has been showing a blue screen and shuttiing down. yesterday night it did just that and now will not reboot or even restore through itunes.
    what should i do?

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
