Airplay and iTunes, works for 1 minute then stops

I have
iTunes 11.0.5.5
Airport Express 802.11g version number 6.3
Airport Express 802.11n version number 7.6.4
I have used Windows 8 to install a previous version of Utility in order to set up the older airport express as it wont work on mountain lion (thanks Apple)
it's now recognised and I can play music via the iPad, but when i try to do multi room via the PC, it initially didn't work at all, but i read about changing to just WPA2 which i did and that actually gave me multi room, until i tested it and turned it off and on a few times, it then stopped finding it through iTunes and telling me it was in use.
I actually thought I'd fixed it and could answer loads of the other support questions on here, but it looks like i'm in the same position.
that split second i had multi room - pure bliss
Can any one get me past this hurdle, I thought i was doing so well

Hi benkeenan2005,
you could have a look at the "AirPlay Multiroom Player by WHAALE" iPad app which brings support for Multiroom audio on the iPad directly (without the need for a Mac or PC running).
Currently it supports playing iTunes music on up to 6 speakers simultaneously.
Please try the free App "AirPlay Speaker Tester" first to see if it is working with your current setup.
regards

  • Airport express works for 1 minute then stops

    I came back from vacation. restarted my mac mini + airport express + ...
    Internet worked for 1 minute then stopped. I unplugged cable modem + airport. Restarted them. Internet worked for 1 minute the stopped. After it stopped working the light on the airport express stayed green. Computer was still connected with a strong signal.
    I plugged the ethernet cable into mac and internet worked fine without issue.
    I did a hard reset of airport express and had same issue as above.
    Is my airport express shot? Why does it only work for 1 minute or so and then stop?

    After waiting a few days, plugged in airport to try one more time and it now works fine. Not sure what the problem was, but it has had no issues since letting it stay unplugged for a few days.

  • HT4199 Hi I have a iPad which works fine on my wireless router and a iPad mini which won't work all the time on my wireless router it's work for a minutes then stops, it won't work on my apps the loading icon just goes round, but the iPad works fine all t

    I've even tried only having the iPad  mini on the router but that's not even worked. Safari works but the apps are the worst and its what I use most.

    Hi Friends,
    I found the solution for this problem (because I faced it too): go to Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset Internet Settings (the third option in IOS 6).
    Five minutes later my iPhone 4S works fine again.
    If the issue persists, forget the wifi connection, then sign in again.
    Hope it helps

    I have no idea what my pocket has apparently downloaded today while I was at work but I now can't here any tones on my iPhone 4...has this happened to anyone ive tried restarting it and it worked for a second then a thing popped up on my screen and nothing again

    Ok mate no need to talk to me like im a complete idiot, and no it is not on silent im not that stupid. There is a message pop up on my screen saying 'this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone' and underneith 'you may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength' and under that only one option to press which says dismiss. I cant find anything in my settings or applications and have tried resetting my phone 3 times and still nothing only plays ringtones ever now and then wont play music from ipod, youtube or other applications.

  • Why is my ipad and itunes working for everything on the stores, but the search doesnt work on them? Any ideas what i can do to help it?

    My ipad and iphone wont search for anything on the app store or itunes store, after a minute of loading it says 'server has timed out' in the blue box. But the weird thing is all the other features on the stores work, and do not crash. How could i fix this?

    try this
    I seperated each step and changed it abit for ya that i found that maybe useful for you bc it sounds like the same "Wireless Weirdness" that this person had the same problem.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18798125#18798125
    1. Restart the computer and wait to see if the network is discovered before entering it manually.
    2. Power off on the modem and router and restarted computer
    3. If no network selected, do the diagnostics
    4. Enter the SSID & PSWD
    5. If asked for DHCP or PPo, chose DHCP
    6. If asked for cable, say no bc u use wireless
    after that, it should work for ya

  • Wireless: Works for a minute then full signal with no data.

    My wireless connection works for a few minutes but then suddenly I can't transmit any data, though the signal shows full strength.
    Turning Airport off and back on fixes this...
    The problem is that I'm having to do it literally dozens of times every session at the laptop, once every couple minutes.  There is no way to tell it is "jammed up" without having a post fail or a page not load.  Most videos on YouTube wont buffer all the way.  It's really a pain in the neck.  None of the other computers in the house are having this issue.
    This just started happening a week ago.  Running the new MacBook Air 13", fully updated, on an AT&T Uverse-based home network.  Ideas?

    It could be the DNS settings your ISP is using. Mac's tend to be more selective about DNS settings than other computers. If you are not familiar with DNS here is a MacWorld article called DNS Troubleshooting that will help explain. To change your DNS setting please do the following:
    1. System preferences
    2. Network
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Click DNS tab
    5. Click + sign
    6. Add 208.67.222.222
    7. Click + sign
    8. Add 208.67.220.220
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit System Preferences
    11. Try out your Mac and report what happened.

  • AE works for a bit, then stops. I unplug it, and the cycle starts again...

    I have an Airport Express connected to my main Apple Base Station via WDS. An older iMac is connected to the Airport Express via ethernet. I have an iBook which I connect wirelessly with. Everything (network, internet, etc.) has worked flawlessly forever until recent probelm with the Airport Express. It will work for a while and then it stops. The green light is still on but no internet connectiion and no network. If I check using the Airport Admin tool, the Base Station is still there but the Airport Express is no longer listed. If I unplug the Airport Express and replug it in, it powers up and everything is fine for a while, but then it drops off again. I have tried both a hard and soft reset.
    Recently upgraded OS X 10.4.4. Could that be related?
    Airport Express and Airport Base Station   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    It sounds like interference or a weak signal. Try going into Airport Admin Utility and enabling Interference Robustness (under "Wireless Options...") on both the AEBS and AX.

  • Photostream works for a while, then stops and won't upload to iCloud anymore.  Rebooting the phone resolves the issue.  Anyone know why?

    I have an iPhone 4S.  Photo stream works for a while but then it will just stop and not upload any photos to iCloud.  Rebooting the phone resolves the problem.  This happens very often and is frustrating for something that should just work.  Once they get uploaded, they are downloaded to other devices without a problem.
    Any idea what could be going wrong with it?  I hate taking pictures of stuff that I need on my other devices not knowing if they're going to make it there or not.
    Thanks!

    Hey Allistah,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Photobooth works for one second, then stops.

    It used to work. Like all the time.
    I'm using a Logitech camera, which works fine in Skype and iChat. But when I open Photobooth, the camera turns on, works for a period of one second, then it stops. If Photobooth is open but behind another program, when I switch back to Photobooth I get a quick one second refresh of the image before it freezes up again.
    When I Apple-T, I get the 3-2-1 countdown, then it takes a picture of the frozen image and adds it to the previous photos.
    The camera is plugged into a USB 2.0 card I installed last year. Everything else on the card is working. I've even switched ports around, and everything is working (which makes sense, because the camera works in Skype and iChat.)
    I was hoping to use the video function to record some voiceover stuff and then transfer the audio into iMovie.

    I would try Repair Permissions.
    This is done with Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities using the First AID tab.
    If that does not work I would Reset the PRAM
    Hold down AppleALT+PR keys on restart until you have three start up bongs.
    If that does not work I would download and install the Combo Installer of the OS level you are up to.

  • My new WRE54G works for a bit then stops

    Firstly I cannot begin to complain enough about what a faff this thing was to set up.
    The supplied disk just "failed" to do a site survey every time i ran the setup.
    In the end, i managed to get in through ethernet straight into my laptop. and configure it to my wireless router settings . . .
    it was running WPA which i set it all up for, and success!  
    Two blue lights signal was boosted, everything was working great . . . for about 15 mins. then the link LED started flashing RED and i could no longer connect to the device on my wireless network!
    Annoying, i decided (after many restarts - where it would work for a few mins then drop off again)
     Maybe it's because i'm using WPA network? so changed the settings in all my wireless devices to WEP then changed the settings on the expander, then on my router, it connected fine, then again after around 15 mins, red light flashing again!
    No booster working !!!
    Can anyone suggest what the problem might be before i send this thing back to the shop,

    What is the Model no of the router..?
    Check the Wireless Channel on the router and the WRE...they should be identical.If they are same then,try changing the Channel to 11 on router and WRE..Also Change the Security Mode to WEP on both.

  • Strange issues with W7 shared Laserjet 1020 to XP machine - works for a while then stops

    I have a principal with a Windows 7 machine and a Laserjet 1020 printer.  The assistant Principal (XP machine) wants to print to his printer.
    When the printer is shared - it will work for a day or two then it will stop responding.  The print jobs from the W7 machine will just dissapear.  They won't even go in the print que.  Stopping and re-starting the print spooler doesn't help, power down of the printer doesn't help.  The ONLY fix seems to be to delete the printer and re-install.  HUGE pain!!!
    I have made sure bi-directional is UNCHECKED and it still has these issues.
    I re-installed the printer and didn't share it and it has now worked flawlessly for over a week.
    But I really need this share to work!  HELP!!!  I've never seen a problem like this before!

  • Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

    New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

    For iMessage problems, try this:
    - Sign out of iMessage
    - Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Sign back in to iMessage
    Best of luck.
