AirPlay, AirPort & AppleTV2 not working

I've seen several of this issued spread in several forums - bu I found them all:
After upgrading to Yosemtine (clean install from USB), I've found:
AiPort Utlility doesn't see my Airport Extreme & Airport Express; although it connects through them to the Internet.
iTunes doesn't see my Apple TV & Airport Express for Airplay. Both working fine when using my other Mac with Mavericks...
Also the iOS devices see (Airport Utlity App) and work with both
Also the Apple TV doesn't see the "homeshared" iTunes Lib. from the Mac.
I've tried a few of the "normal" thing - restarting, resetting, no help.
Any ideas?
It's a pain in the ****

Now after 10.10.1 Update - no change.
I'm desperate....

Airplay, Airport Express not working, 10.7.1 (Lion)

Hi,
Trying to connect to external speakers connected to airport express. I've done this successfully before but I've recently upgraded to Lion and now cannot connect:
I see the airport express listed in itunes, but when I click it, it just sets back to "computer" without any error message.
If I click "multiple speakers," the airport express has a lock icon next to it. When I try to check it, it simply won't allow me to check it.
Any advice?
Thanks

Microtek is famous for not providing drivers so that their old scanners can work with newer operating systems. The last time I upgraded the teachers' computers in my schools 300 Mircotek scanners insgtantly became trash I don't buy them any more. won't waste taxpayers' money.

Since the last update to iTunes 11.0.3 (42) the airplay connection is not working properly , keeping breaking up

since the last update to iTunes 11.0.3 (42) the airplay connection is not working properly , keeping breaking up, while the airplay works fine with my iPad and iPhone. Anyone has experienced the same? any fix available?

Hi Erdelestre,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities!
See this article for some tips about troubleshooting AirPlay:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring

Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express. Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > General > Bluetooth.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your Apple TV and iPhone/iPad.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Best,
Jeremy

DTS (5.1) Audio Through Airport Express: Not Working

I imported some DTS-encoded WAV files into iTunes, to stream to my audio system via an Airport Express. The AE is connected to the preamp via optical, the WAV files were not converted or modified in any way, and the volume is @ 100% in iTunes.
The preamp receives the files and the DTS icon lights up, so all seems to be good... except the audio output is 2.0 only. As a test I converted the files to Apple Lossless (since I know the AE has to make that conversion), same result.
As another test I turned down the volume in iTunes and the audio became white noise, another indication that the files are DTS.
If I burn an audio CD using iTunes and the same WAV files, and play them on my OPPO player I get 5.1, the final and conclusive proof that the files are properly encoded.
I know I've read that streaming DTS-encoded audio via the Airport Express is possible, so I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I experienced some DTS files in iTunes, with my AirPort Express some months ago, it was working fine on my Marantz receiver. A few days ago I wanted to listen to them again, only white noise... I wanted to rip by myself a DTS-CD, therefore I found this out. Apparently since AirTunes has been turned to AirPlay, it's not working anymore (?) / the same way.

Airport Express not working with Comcast

I used to have AT&T and had my airport working well. Yesterday i changed to Comcast and my airport is not working the light stays yellow.. I tried resetting it but it didn't work.. I use it with my old Cisco router and its working. Whats wrong with my Airport Express? My computers are Windows 7

A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express has locked up....or it is defective.
Suggest you that try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Pull the Express from power
Let it rest for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it for another 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds to restart
The Express should display a slow, blinking amber light at this time
If you continue to see a solid amber light after a few tries with a Factory Default Reset, the Express has failed and it will need to be replaced.

After an update my airport is not working. It won't turn on. Do I need to redownload a driver, and how?

After an update my airport is not working. It won't turn on no matter how many times I press the turn on Wi Fi button. Do I need to redownload a driver, and how?

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
Try deleting the printer and scanner and add them back.
Also try Applications/Image Capture to see if it can find the printer and scanner.

HT201335 The airplay mirroring is not working on Mountain Loin.

The airplay mirroring is not working. The AirPlay mirroring box states "No devices Detected" and will not let you select anything else. The Apple tv is updated and I have a MacBook Pro (Oct 2011)

I don't disagree with much of what you are thinking/feeling, and many others too I dare say.
I do mention Airparrot but usually (not above) with some reservation saying some users report good things some others don't. There is after all a demo and people should try that.
There is a big technical difference between Airplay from iTunes and Airplay mirroring. The former simply has to send a preformatted h264 video stream (i.e. a file in the iTunes media library) to AppleTV across the LAN - there is no processing of this stream required, and AppleTV does the decoding. The latter involves generating that stream live from individual video frames and also then streaming to AppleTV.
Apple seem to have gone for a hardware encoding solution for the stream using post 2011 Intel chip features detailed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
They also seem to have decided not to offer a software solution for older processors - this is what grates - Airparrot clearly shows that many people can get acceptable performance on many earlier machines.
There are many many examples of instances where Apple has abandoned support for or left out features on older hardware - either playing safe avoiding underperformance or maybe something else.....
When there are genuine reasons not to support things that's fine. When it's ambiguous customers get upset and might take their money elsewhere for future purchases. Apple need to be careful as in the current climate things are pretty tight financially for most people, and they are not in the habit of replacing computers as often as mobile phones - I think the phone business model is clearly partly at fault.

Airport express not working since today's itunes update

Since updating iTunes today, Airport Express not working. More specifically, the Airport software will recognise the device exists, but iTunes cannot connect to it, just getting error message.

Airplay Apple TV not working/mirroring after IOS 8

After upgrading to IOS 8 on my IPad 2, updating my Apple TV, resetting my router, the mirroring does not work.
I had no problem till the new release was installed.
Does anyone have a solution?

Check with Winston Churchill down below is what he has told folks to do..... I will tell you that I took my BR Apple tv out of town with me and set it up at the away home wifi.....everything worked fine. Mirroring, airplay just fine. I took it home and set it back up in the BR. Later I attempted to airplay some music from iTunes to my LR Apple tv. When prompted in the drop down.... the LR was not there, only the BR. I called apple. To make this all as short as possible..... the final and only solution was to reset the Apple airport extreme tower. Once that was done, the two Apple tvs and everything showed up, worked and mirrored and airplayed just as it should have when I plugged it back it...... WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW...... Was that the power had gone out for a few seconds while I was gone, so all it needed was to be reset.... and that is with it unplugged for at least 30 seconds. We did a lot before the simple fix of unplugging did the trick..... I wish you all the best...... I love my apple stuff. j
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Airport Just Not Working

I was able to download the Airport Utility and set up my Airport on my Windows Laptop. The utility says everything is fine but the airport itself is flashing amber. The wireless internet is not working and I have tried resetting the Airport but no luck. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

Have you tried to reset the base?
Just get a paper clip and find the area in the back to reset the base
just insert the paper clip until the amber light flashes twice as fast as before and hold it there for about 5 seconds. Also try reseting your modem as well.
This cleared up my problems yesterday .

AirPort card not working ... mostly

This is one that has me a bit stumped. I have a G3 iBook with the original airport card installed. Yesterday, it stopped recognizing any wireless networks in the local area (I have one graphite ABS and one AirPort Express, plus there are one or two other wireless network around here I can normally at least see). My other portable (PowerBook G4 12") sees all these networks fine. I re-seated the card in the iBook, to no avail. I assumed it had conked out and started researching replacement cards (quite spendy, as you probably know).
Just today, my iBook started recognizing wireless nets again ... briefly. For about five or ten minutes, I saw a few networks and actually was able to access the WAN. After then, though, it's back to not working at all. Has this happened to anyone? Was it the last, final gasp of my venerable airport card? Or if this has happened to you, did you find that it was another problem entirely?
Thanks for any help.

Appelfan,
I had gotten frustrated with the random behavior and posted a question about the possibility of an USB dongle wireless solution for the Mac. Duane answered me and gave me a very helpful suggestion - that I consider Ethernet Wireless Adapters, and even mentioned a couple of brands - just in case you may consider that route. I have copied his responses to me, below:
Thank you,

Re: Is there a USB Wireless Dongle or card for a Mac?

An alternative to USB wireless adapters is Ethernet wireless adapters. Those require no drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device regardless of OS.

Examples of Ethernet wireless adapters are the Linksys WET11 and Linksys WET54G. There are many more.

Airport card not working?

I have a PowerBook G4, came with Airport card. We travel in an RV and over the past year have stayed at numerous campgrounds with WIFI, and my laptop has connected fine, as long as the signal strength is good enough. So I know it works, or at least has in the past. Yesterday, checked into a campground we have stayed at before, got out my laptop, checked the signal strength, which was pretty weak to non-existant. We are at the far edge of the park, so I wasn't surprised. Our site also has a phone line, so I got out my phone cord and connected per dial-up, got on the internet fine.
A few minutes after I had been online by dial-up, I noticed that my Airport icon was showing good signal strength. So I disconnected the dial-up, and tried to get online per Airport and have been trying ever since. It shows good signal strength, tells me I am connected to the network, but Safari won't open and it tells me I am not connected to the internet. The network status on Airport says that "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect".
Did I mess something up by using dial-up without turning Airport off? I usually don't turn it off; usually I don't have access to a dial-up, so I either have internet or I don't, at campground. Anybody have any ideas about this?
Thanks.

Another piece of the puzzle: yesterday afternoon I took the laptop to a place where I knew I had gotten on the internet, and it still worked. Then this morning, back here at this campground, I tried again, and no go. Then I noticed in the list of networks one called "default". I clicked on it, not really expecting anything, and Safari immediately fired up and boom, I was on the 'net.
I don't know if this "default" is someone's private network or not; all I do know, is that the Airport card is working. But for some reason, not on that one particular network. I've done some reading back here, and found that a few others have experienced this same thing. So, for now, I have internet access, but don't understand why. Nor do I understand why I don't have it on the other network.
I appreciate the reply and will make a note of that for future times, if this sould happen again somewhere else.

Airport express not working with apple products

We have been trying to get airport express to work with a macbook pro, ipad2, iphone, laptop, htc wildfire - havent even tried the air music or printer yet!
We have a green light on the airport express which is connected to an ntl cable modem(virgin media network).
Currently the only thing that will connecy is the laptop and my htc phone. All the apple products will not connect?
We went to the apple store today and it worked grand when it was plugged in - the apple products all worked.
The network comes up on ipad2 but when you press connect it says 'unable to connect'
can anyone help us please?
thank you

I have the same issue. Mine fixed itself for a bit and now it's broken again. I'm thinking it's going to be intermittently broken. I've tried turning both devices off and on again but that did not help.

HT2508 airport Express not working in Mountain Lion

My old airport express stopped working properly since I loaded Mountain Lion. I purchased a new Airport Express and it will work, but the audio fades in and out. I am connected from the airport express unit to my audio receiver via a 3.5 out into RCA (red/white) connector into the receiver. Can someone suggest a cure?

I have three printers up and running connected to an Air Port Express,
and since I upgraded to Lion I can't connect to any of them, so I continued using SL on this MBP17.
System Preferences does not show any of my printers.
I opened Air Port and it says I need to update.
When I click on the update button, it takes me to the App Store, but no Air Port Software — What gives?
Now having the same problems with Mountain Lion.
Hoped ML would fix the problem, but NO.
I find I have to save documents to a flash drive and go to my old PowerMac G4 to print.
Steve we miss you. Apple is going to crap without you.
