Music Streaming Dropouts

I have started getting extended dropouts during music streaming from iMac to Apple TV. It starts off as a glitchy sound until it finally goes quiet. It will then start back up about 20 seconds where if left off. Appears to be happening in about one minute intervals. I have rebooted wireless router, Apple TV and iMac.

as sir winston suggested, have you checked for _*wireless interference*_ ?
download iStumbler (may not work on 10.6) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those.
FWIW, i have hardwired most of my equipment to my TC. where physical ethernet cables are no option (due to location), i use *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.

  • How to setup my airport for music streaming

    Hi all
    I would like to use my iPhone and or iPad to stream music from Pandora and Spotify to my 5.1 (Wired) Speakers.
    This question is similiar to this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4153687 however i wanted some clarity and thought best to start a new discussion before pulling my hair out doing this the wrong way.
    I have an unused Airport Express basestation (A1408) My current home setup is as follows:
    Modem Router: (Netgear DGND3700) N600 Wireless ADSL2+ Dual band Gigabit
    Home Theatre Computer: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection) NO LAN port
    AV Reciever: (Onkyo TX-SR309)
    5.1 Speakers: Wired connection to AV Receiver (NOT Airplay capable)
    Laptop: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection)
    My question is how to setup the airport, i understand it can be used to enable airplay streaming of music over the existing WiFi network, as these music streaming apps download and play music concurrently i would not want to have to switch between to two seperate WiFi networks. Should i plug the airport into the HTPC? I would need to purchase a LAN Splitter as the only LAN socket is already taken up with my cat6 connection. OR would i plug it directly into the modem/router? This second option is prefereable.
    I have attached an image of my setup below. Any advice would be great, Regards Steve

    Still slightly confused, with the link you provided i chose scenario 2. All the other secanrios instructed i connect the airport express to my home stereo or powered speakers. As i dont have an aiport express only an airport extreme there is no audio jack and cannot connect it to the stereo/speakers.
    option 2: Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network as part of a roaming network
    Ensure that the AirPort base station Ethernet cables are connected as above
    I have done this and conected it via ethernet cat6 to the modem/router
    Launch AirPort Utility 6.1. The Assistant will automatically configure the Roaming network
    Im using windows 7 and cannot find this version of aiport utility, only 5.6.1 - The message comes up: Aiport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. I am running this utility on my win7 HTPC (which is connected to my modem/router via cat6 LAN) The airport light is blinkng amber.
    would you reccommend a hard reset of the airport? or can you provide a link for AirPort Utility 6.1.?
    Regards

  • Does iTunes use wireless music stream if using an Ethernet cable for AE?

    Hello,
    I have been having trouble with airtunes for some time now. I've tried lots of different things without much success. I think there might be too many wireless networks in my building and I am getting a lot of interference. So i'm thinking of trying a wired method.
    If I plugged an ethernet cable from the computer into the Airport Express (which is then plugged into the stereo), does airtunes still send the music stream wirelessly or would it use the ethernet cable instead?
    Thanks

    1. Will this work (i.e., add wireless to the office and maintain my existing wireless in my home)? If so, what do I need to do? Specifically, do I need to configure WDS and (if so) does 2Wire support this?
    What you are attempting to do is actually called a "roaming" network in Apple terms and not WDS. In a roaming network, AirPort base stations are connected together on the same subnet of an Ethernet network. Each base station is setup as a bridge, but share the same network name (SSID) and encryption (if used). It sounds like it should be possible to setup the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a roaming network. The following is how it would be done with AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
    - Network configuration: DSL/Cable Modem or Internet Router > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS1 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBS2 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBSn (Note: In your case, you will have a single AX, instead of multiple AEBSs.)
    - Setup the second AEBS, as a bridge. (Disable "Distribute IP addresses")
    - For each AEBS in the roaming network:
    -- Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
    -- Provide a unique Base Station Name
    -- The Network Name should be identical
    -- If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
    -- Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next AEBS.
    2. Assuming I can, can I have that same AX (i.e., the one connected vis-à-vis Ethernet cable) be used for wireless printing in the office while providing wireless internet? Any special configuration to allow that?
    Yes.
    3. If this network desire does not work, is there another set of hardware that I should purchase (i.e., a different wireless DSL modem, Airport Extreme, other???).
    The configuration as you planned it should work...but, in case it doesn't, I'd recommend that you replace your current wireless router with an AEBS. You can then get either another AEBS or an AX to create the roaming network.

  • A2DP Bluetooth Music Streaming

    I've been able to stream music from my iPhone through my car stereo via a Parrot MK6000 hands free Bluetooth device and an iCombi A2DP Bluetooth adapter (Buy at Oakley.com). The iCombi is an adapter for iPods that have the same dock connections as the iPhone so the device works perfectly.
    The Parrot device handles the communication between the stereo and the phone, muting the music and allowing the call to be received, while the iCombi adapter provided the music streaming, again that is interrupted when a call comes in.
    The biggest draw back is the that you can't charge the iPhone while you have the iCombi adapter attached.
    The iCombi adapter also allows you to use Bluetooth headphones to listen to music.
    This is a not a perfect configuration, I have experienced some glitches such as the music continuing to play while I receive a call, it still works well enough until Apple provides and update that embraces A2DP Bluetooth.
    Regards,
    Bob Petersen

    A nice suggestion that I may go with but I'm still interested in finding a wireless solution. I'd like to get in my car with music already playing on the phone and have the car stereo pick it up and play through the speakers, then receive a phone call hearing the caller through the car speakers and use a mic in car that would work for my part of the call. All wirelessly. Thats how it works in my wife's car but she has bluetooth so I'm trying to duplicate the capability.

    No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

  • Music Streaming possibility to be free?!

    So, as much as I love Verizon, I wish it would be great if we can get unlimited streaming of music form Pandora or Spotify so our data wont be used as much, It'll be a great feature to have. It can build customer relationships and possible market share!
    Yeah costs will go up and profits might slightly go down (maybe, depending on how much it is with the contracts and other fees and cost but if you get a increase in potential customer and increase the retention rate of the customers can be a different story).
    Just a suggestion but should definitely do some market research which we can do in this discussion!

    With the mantra that nothing is free, Verizon would build the cost into your plan costs.  This would mean people that don't stream would subsidize people who do stream.   You are also giving unfair competitive advantage to Pandora or Spotify.  What about a great music streaming start up with better monthly rates and family plan, but can't stay in business due to these special priority lanes of companies with loads of cash to suppress competition? 
    That is the concept of net neutrality.
    By the way I stream lots of music, and I am still against the idea fior the reasons above. 

  • I am having a problem connecting my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8) to a bluetooth music streaming devise (Arcam r-blink)

    Good evening all,
    When i am trying to connent my MBP to an Arcam R-blink (a rather expensive music streaming receiver) i am getting a 'Bluetooth audio failed'.
    The device is turned on and they are paired.  I just appears they don't like talking to each other.
    Eventually after several fustrating attempts they will finally connect - mainly after i have unpaired then repaired.
    Anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed?
    Thanks,

  • Music streaming not possible over encrypted wireless connection

    Hi,
    I have two AE bases,
    the first is used for wireless connection to the wired network and the internet
    the second is connected to the hifi system and has been configured as a client in the network defined by the first one.
    The problem is that the moment I use encryption no music streaming will be possible any more. Is this a feature? or a bug? or did I miss anything?
    Thanks,
    Andre

    If you are going to implement encrytion (like WPA) on a wireless network that has previously been unsecured - make sure you enable it on the client first, and on the base station second. If you do it the other way around you will lose access to the client and you will no longer be able to make the required configuration changes so that its settings match that of the base station.

  • Trying to listen to a live music stream on Firefox....Help?

    I'm new to this aspect of the internet, so here goes. I was given a port 8000 address for a live music stream by a trusted staff member of a chat site, along with everyone else, via global/general chat. According to chat, everyone else was hearing music via their web browser (Firefox for some, Chrome for others) but when I entered the given address into the address bar, it took me to a blank page (but with the port 8000 address still in the bar), and asked me if I wanted to open the "file" with windows media player or save it. I tried opening it first, eventually backed out and tried saving it, but both methods resulted in Firefox downloading an ever-expanding file, because it wasn't a preset file, but a live music stream being uploaded and played at the same time. I feel left out, because a few days later (and again after another few days) this person did some more live streams, and each time I got the same problem, only the first time it was on the old family desktop, and the second and third times it was on a new laptop. The desktop has Windows Vista, with a Celeron processor, and Firefox version 21.; the laptop had Windows 8 with a Dual Core processor, and also Firefox version 21.
    Is there some setting I have to fix, or do I need a special add-on?

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Delay in music streaming?

    So I have a wireless music streaming set-up in my dorm room. However, I get a delay in terms of when I start playing a song to when its playing. Its not a major delay but enough to be a noticable difference.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming

    Can I have different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming functions on my 4s? If I can is there a way that the will automatically select (remember) the proper bluetooth receiver?

    TDMA interference, and is a type of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) unique to GSM mobile phones. It affects all GSM mobile phones, but is not harmful to you or your electronics. It is just an audible indicator of network activity.
    GSM mobile phones generate this interference when they communicate with the cellular network. You don't need to be actively using the phone, as it constantly accessing the network to check signal strength, synchronize the clock, or perform other network-related tasks. The only way to stop this interference is to turn off the phone or its network capabilities. For example, by using Airplane Mode.

  • AirPort Express as both an Access Point and iTunes music streamer?

    Question:
    Currently my cable modem stands next to my music-stereo and I have no wireless setup.
    I would like to buy an AirPort Express to both stream music to the stereo and let me connect to the web wireless, at the same time. Is this possible?
    So I will connect the Ethernet connector to my cable modem, connect the stereo jack to my stereo system and connect to my iMac wireless.
    I would like to know if the AirPort Express is capable of doing this before I buy it. I cannot find a clear explanation about this online or in reviews.
    Thank you very much in advance...
    Regards,
    Yves

    decleene@..., Welcome to the discussion area!
    Yes that is certainly possible. The AirPort Express (AX) is a full fledged wireless router which supports wireless printing (via USB printer) and wireless music streaming.
    The only limitation to the AX is that it has a single Ethernet port and therefore doesn't support Ethernet clients.

  • While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

    While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

    The music must be in your iTunes library.
    Or, you can try to add a special application like Airfoil that may allow you to stream any audio signal on your computer to the AirPort Express. It might work.
