AirPlay Express not staying connected since intalling Yosemite

"An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”. An unknown error occurred (-65568)."
Ever since I installed Yosemite, I am no longer able to stream music from my itunes account on my iMac to the Airport Express connected
to my sound system. Any ideas?

Hello mtvessell,
So is the AirPort Express only used for AirPlay and not the Internet?
That points me to

But I would also see if there are any AirPort base station updates

  • Can not stay connected to Airport express

    I have an airport exress that is less then 9 months old.  I have my internet provide wirlessely so my macbook pro picks up the signal and i share it with the airport exress.  With the AE set to bridge mode.  This was all working fine for the last 3 months, but now for some reason I can not stay connected with any of my devices wirelessly with the AE.  I try to connect with my Iphone 4s and when i click on the network to connect i never recieve a check mark on the left all it does is give me the moving circle.  I try to search the web on the phone and it will work for a second then not work for who know how long then work for a second ect.... i have hard rebooted the AE, reset network settings in my phone, reset smc and pram.  when i access the ae through airport utility on my mac the internet shows green and the AE show amber becuase it says it does not have a valid ip address.  I access the AE from my phone and the AE shows the same and the internet will go from green to amber and back.  Also it will not stay connected to the AE i try to change setting on the AE through my phone and as long as i do it quickly it works fine, but if i wait anylonger then 10-30 seconds the phone drops the AE and i have to start over even though it will pick it up again with in  a second or two.  this is the same for ipad, three iphones, dell computer, and a android phone. 

    Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
    If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

  • Airport express will not stay connected

    I have a new Airport Express (802.11n) and it will not stay connected to my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

    I have returned the Express and reinstalled my Extreme. I found a "tip" page that suggested to put a sheet of aluminum foil behind the Express to concetrate the signal inside the house. This crude idea has not solved the problem. My MacPro is a 2 GHz Intel Core i7. Any further suggestions?

  • Under Yosemite iMac will not stay connected to ethernet network

    Mac OS X 10.10.1
    When attached to Netgear Prosafe gigabit unmanaged switch (circa 2007) iMac Retina, Mac Pro, Macbook Pro will not stay connected to Apple Airport managed ethernet LAN. With Sys Prefs Network panel open I can watch the ethernet connect and disconnect on a periodic basis (about every 15 secs!). When same machines are connected to ethernet ports on the Airport itself, connections are steady and permanent. I suspect incompatibility with networking protocol used by Netgear but assuming their protocol is standard the incompatibility must be in Yosemite. Did NOT have this problem under Mavericks with any of my machines.
    Is my only alternative to order a new gigabit switch? If so, have protocols changed in the intervening 6 years such that Yosemite is not compatible with older switches?

    Well, my 6 year old netgear gigabit switch must have been partially failing because when I replaced it with the current model (same specs, same model name, but sold as an updated model??) things are now going fine. Getting gigabit network speeds on all computers and 100% reliable connection. Guess it was just a coincidence that my Yosemite update and the switch failure occurred at the same time.

  • Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

    Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network.  I have to input my password each time I leave my house.  My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade.  Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network?  Thanks.

    I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

  • Wifi will not stay connected after Lion upgrade - help?

    I upgraded to Lion last week on my iMac and now my computer will not stay connected to wifi...  it is fine if I restart my computer, but then it looses its connection, settings when it goes in to screen saver mode - very frustrating, please help!

    This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
    (There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
    Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
    I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
    My Airport card specs are:
      Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme  (0x168C, 0x86)
      Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
    Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
              PHY Mode:          802.11a
    The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
    After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
    These are the changes I made:
    Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
    Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
    Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
    Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
    My Mini now connects on:
    PHY Mode:          802.11g
    Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          54
    instead of previously
    PHY Mode:          802.11a
    Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate: 36
    This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
    The iMac is still connecting on
    PHY Mode:          802.11n
    Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          216
    and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

  • Ipod will not stay connected for more then a few seconds

    I was going to update my nano this morning after downloading the newest version of software, and first off it said the firmware was corrupt. so then I restored it, and it would not restore to the new version so i used the older version. the ipod seems to work in my hand but when i connect it to my computer it will not stay connected for more then a few seconds, then it ejects its self, but itunes still shows it as being there even though the rest of the computer does not
    I have not had any issues with it since i bought it which was last june.
    any ideas?
    John

    Hi John,
    I would suggest, with your iPod disconnected, that you force your iPod into disk mode (following the instructions in this article)
    Connect your iPod to your computer.
    Then, try restoring it in iTunes while it is connected in disk mode.
    Can you successfully restore your iPod?
    If so, when the restoring and resyncing process is all complete, now update your iPod to the latest firmware.
    Any success with trying that?

  • Will not stay connected to my home wi-fi

    My iPhone will not stay connected to my Airport Express. My iMac and PB have no problem. Where I live I do not get any other wi-fi signals.
    In the morning my phone connects...I check my mail and check a few web sites. No problem for about 5 minutes or so then I loose the connection and it switches to AT&T's Edge service. The phone will re-connect when I go to setting>wi-fi But it only stays connected for 30 seconds or so. It will say "unable to connect" and I do renew the lease.
    This has been happening for about 3 weeks now.

    Have you tried deleting the saved wireless network settings for this network from your iPhone followed by reconnecting to the network?
    If not, on your iPhone go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Select the right facing arrow in a blue circle icon to the right of the name of the network.
    At the top, select Forget this Network.
    This will delete the network and network settings from your iPhone.
    Follow this by selecting and reconnecting to the network.

  • IPad not staying connected

    Hi all, I'm new here and not as technologically literate as most people on here! I went to the Apple store yesterday because my iPad is not staying connected at home. I have no problem, however, with my iPhone, iMac, and iTouch. It was suggested that my router is getting "bogged down" and that I can set up a MAC IP Address. How do I know what IP address to use? I've searched on here, and I'm not having any luck. I'm very close to buying Apple's router, but wanting to see if I can fix my problem first. Thanks in advance for your help!
    (p.s. I have a D-Link WBR-2310)

    We had this problem on an all-Apple WiFi network with the iPad 10 feet from an AirPort Express. The folks at the Apple Store offered to replace the iPad or wait for a software update - surprisingly, the latter course fixed the problem a few weeks later. Sooo... update the iPad software if you haven't already done so and see if that doesn't help.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • IPhone 4 does not stay connected to internet over 3G+

    I have an iPhone 4 on the telus network running the latest version of the os 4.3.3. My phone will not stay connected to the Internet most of the time. It looses connection and won't reconnect until I turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. It also looses connection if I have wifi on and it detects a network but choose not to connect to it. I have restored my phone and it fixed the problem for half a day before it started again. I only have a couple months warranty left, is this covered do you think?

    I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

  • Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

    When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

    By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus not staying connected to wireless network

    Just picked up a HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n the other week and set it all up and it was working wonderfully. But I noticed after it goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless network and doesn't reconnect.
    I will get a overview of how I have it all set up.
    I have a DSL modem with a TRENDnet TEW-639GR router connected to it. I have set my router to reserve IP addresses for the computer and printer. That way I can leave the computer and printer wireless IP settings as automatic and they will always get the same IP address. I do this for the wireless network at my parents place as well and it works perfectly with their HP Photosmart C7280.
    I also set up the HP ePrintCenter feature on the printer so that I can print by sending the printer an email. When I first set it all up this was working great. I tested it all and it was awesome. When I would log onto the ePrint website it would show as connected and it was all good.
    So then what happened was it was all fine then the next day when we want to print something the computer says the printer is offline. I go on the HP ePrintCenter website and it says not connected. I print out a wireless network report page and it says not connected. After I printed that test page, I guess it woke up the printer enough or something as it then connected to the router and printed fine as well as showed up as connected on the ePrintCenter website. So all was good. Then the next day the printer goes to sleep and again it shows as disconnected.
    Should it not be staying connected in sleep mode? How will the printer know something is being sent to it and that it should wake up if it is not staying connected?
    Any suggestions of what I should change with the settings? I suppose I could try setting the IP settings as static on the printer itself but I shouldn't need to as I set it to static on the router. When it finally does reconnect it does always keep the same IP. If that is what is required I guess I could do that but then what is the point in having an automatic setting if it doesn't work? I would rather have this issue fixed that have to do a work around for it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    The printer should stay connected to your wireless network after the printer enters the sleep mode.
    This is not an expected behavior.
    I believe such an issue may be caused due to a signal quality or any conflict as too many broadcust on the same channel.
    Please try the following steps in order to better understand the issue:
    Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard if your printer currently disconnected
    Enter the Setup menu.
    Enter the Network menu.
    Click Wireless.
    Click Wireless Test Report.
    What is the signal quality provided by the report and what channel used to broadcast by your router?
    If you may scan and attach the report, it may help to better understand any possible cause.
