AirPlay connection expiring?
I just started using AirPlay with an Airport Express router. It works fine but it seems that after waiting between 1 and 2 hours after connecting, the connection somehow gets lost. The music player is still playing and it still shows that I am connected to the router for AirPlay but there is no audio. `The only way I can find around this is to close my music player app (iPad) and deselect the router for AirPlay, then reselect the router for AirPlay and open the music player app again.
Is this a common thing for it to lose audio or is there something I can do so this doesn't happen?
Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I have a Netgear wireless ADSL modem router (wireless + four ethernet out ports) that i'd like to connect to a 1st gen Airport Express to create a small home network to provide internet access for a MacBook, iPhone and Apple TV, and to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and Airport Express audio output jack.
I'd like to turn off the wireless function of the ADSL modem router, and to have from one of its ethernet out ports an ethernet cable providing internet directly connected to my MacBooks ethernet port.
Then from one of the other ethernet outs on the ADSL modem router an ethernet cable connected to the Airport Express's ethernet port. This would be to provide wireless internet connection for the Apple TV and iPhone via WiFi from the AE.
At the same time as the MacBook is receviing internet soley via the ethernet in port, i'd like it to have WiFi connection to the AE to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and the AE's audio out jack.
Is this all possible? How should I go about to configure this? How should the AE's ethernet port be configured?
Any special modes the ADSL modem router or Airport Express should be in? ie bridge or client?
ThanksOn the ADSL modem router web-based interface, should I set any security setting? I think not as there'll be no wireless signal coming from it, only wired ethernet connections to both MacBook and AE. Security should only be set on the AE to prevent someone from accessing its WiFi signal. Is this assumption correct?
These are all correct!
How should I go about setting up security for this network?
First I would recommend that you configure the AirPort Express for WPA2 Personal. This will provide you with the greastest level of security while still providing excellent bandwidth performance.
You would configure wireless security for the Express by using the AirPort Utility on a Mac, PC, or iOS device. Using your MacBook Pro as an example, you would do so as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select the Express, and then, click on Edit.
Select the Wireless tab to enable it.
Set the Wireless Security option to: WPA2 Personal
Enter the desired password in both the Wireless Password & Verify Password fields. Note: Use of a "strong" password is encourage here. By strong, I mean use a mix of upper/lowercase letters, numbers, & punctuation marks. Try not to use common dictionary words. If you operate your wireless in an area where security is of an utmost concern, I would further suggest that you change the wireless security password every 60-90 days. Also don't forget to change the default AirPort Base Station Administrator password as well.
Click on Update and allow the Express to restart. -
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
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
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,

Both my iPhone & iPad now on version 7 do not display the airplay connection for my Apple TV ?
Hey Barry02,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with AirPlay. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Because the issue is occurring on both devices, it may be isolated to the Apple TV itself. You may want to troubleshoot the Apple TV connection:

Can't connect. No airplay connection
I have 2 iphones 4 and 2 ipads. Sometimes I'm able to connect one of them to my apple tv. Got to say i'm disappointed by the products conectivity
I think when these mobile devices go out of home wi-fi range they lose the Airplay connection and tend not to look for it again when they reconnect - I've found restarting the phone/ipad or enabling/disabling wi-fi can help get the destination back, but it's not as simple as it should be.

a message showing licence of connect expired is always appearing on screen. Dont know why. If anyone is aware of it plz sort out...
Most likely you're using 3rd party app to connect and now it requires license for you to use it.
Link below is for your reference for license expire case similar to yours

Since updating to Yosemite my airport express (used for airplay) connects for a short period then drops, the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Kitchen”. The host cannot be reached." Has anyone else had this problem
I'm having the same issue. Haven't found a workaround. I use a main TimeCapsule as my main router, also have another TimeCapsule that extends the network, three Airport Express and an AppleTV. For whatever reason, the two AirportExpress that I have in a different rooms cut out. I only have 600 square foot apartment so it's not that big, the signal should be strong enough. Airport Utilitiy reports the signal strength to be strong on all devices.
I'm using all new equipment, a new MacPro for my music, new TimeCapsules, new Airport Express, new everything with the latest Yosemite software. Very frustrating. My Airplay used to work very nice and now I'm constantly having issues and restarting my network. I did a fresh install of all my software on my MacPro when I got it in January so it's not as if it's an old machine with old software, everything is new within the last 6 months.
The only workaround I found so far is to unplug the devices and to plug them back in. Since upgrading to Yosemite, I'm restarting my Airport Express at least twice a week. Very annoying. -
Hi all,
Up until recently I had been using an Airport Express (purely for Airplay). I had a break from it when my Express failed (after a few long uears service) I have since replaced it with a speaker with Airplay built in.
My question is has the way iTunes/Airplay connect to these speakers changed (other then the cosmetic changes in iTunes)?
Previously I could fire up iTunes and it would automatically connect. It no longer does this and I have to open iTunes, then click the icon, then click the checkbox(circle) next to the speaker THEN wait for it to connect. Is this now normal?VPN makes most network connections less stable

Mñwhen I'm trying to set up my gmail and live mail accounts appears the License of 'Connect' Expired message.
Does anyone solved this issue?Hi,
I had the same issue when updating the PSILOC traveller and installing the "Connect" plug-in - to resolve it I uninstalled "Connect" from the Plug-In Manager inside PSILOC traveller - this should also remove the access point - which you can check in Ctrl Panel - Settings - Connection - Destinations.

My 02 gen iPad keeps dropping the AirPlay connection after several minutes of play. This happened after updating to iOS 8.1. This worked perfectly on my 2 gen Apple TV before the update. It is also doing the same thing on my iPhone 5s. I use AirPlay all the time. Please help.
Greetings rdobbins01,

2012 macbook pro bluetooth/airplay connecter
i broke the bluetooth/airplay connecter on my main logic board, just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a new connecter or what the name of the connecter i broke is and its its a hard fix?
Change the audio source to Apple TV before launching airplay, sometimes this solves this problem.

It 's the same problem whether I'm using the speakers or headphones. Anyone know what I can do? I have tried to reset the phone, but that did not help...I
Hi Jody,
It sounds like there may have been an issue during your software update and that your iPad is now in Recovery Mode. You may find the following article useful:

Sync doesn't work at first time for most of the Users but repeated sync requests finally end up having a successful sync at some point of time.
System landscape is
- 2 SUP server
- 1 DB server
- devices are connecting through reverse proxy to SUP server from outside
- Users connect using 3G/4G network or Wifi, I know there is known issue with 3G/4G network connecting to SUP, but Users face same issue while on WIFI also.
Share your thought if someone has faced/fixed similar issue.

SameerHi Michael and all,
I am also facing the same issue as you, I have installed SUP 2.01 and using Sybase Mobile Sales 1.2.
I have deployed Mobile Sales application on my windows Mobile simulator also connect to the device created in Sybase control center.
When i try to connect Mobile Sales application to the server, initially it shows downloading Activity,leads, Opportunity etc in the status bar, but after some time, it kept saying Checking for Initial Data, and runs never ending. And we are not facing any connectivity issues.
In DOE Session Monitoring we can see status of all the data Objects without errors.
When we checked in the DOE logs, we are getting below 2 warning.
Unable to determine dialect of the StAX implementation at jar:file:/C:/Sybase/UnwiredPlatform/Servers/UnwiredServer/lib/ext/sup-ds.jar!/
Anonymous transaction context. Any attempt to acquire a transactional resource in this context might result in a resource
Micheal, did it work for you further, can you suggest anything on this issue.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Airplay peer-to-peer -
I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and got my Airport Express (802.11g) out of the closet and set up an AirPlay network for my speakers.
All worked well for the first while, but recently I've been having an inconsistent problem with this: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “my network name”. The network connection failed."
Since it came up, more often than not, I can't connect.
I can play without issue from my iPhone, and from my iPad.
I looked around these forums, and found a couple threads dealing with this from 2011, with no clear resolution to them. No one with Mountain Lion seems to complain about it, though a few people mused about whether Mountain Lion might fix the problem.
I'm running iTunes 10.7(21), and don't recall doing any upgrades to it that might have brought this about, though I can't say for sure.
My Airport Express is updated to firmware version 6.3, which I believe is the last one issued for the 'g' Airport Express.
My wireless network runs off an Airport Extreme 802.11n (Second Generation) with verion 7.6.1 firmware.
My Mac has 10.8.2 on it right now.
Hopefully some of that info might help sort this out - any replies greatly appreciated!One quick update. A workaround that was mentioned in one post did seem to work - if music is started via the Remote app it seems to connect fine.
And I'm not sure if I dare upgrade to iTunes 11 given the firestorm of bad impressions I see, including some that relate to Airplay functions...
