Airplay from iPhone to Airport Express - no sound?

We have two of the new Mac Minis, one new Airport Express and 4 iPhones in the house - and we can use Airplay from both PC´s to the Airport Express hooked up to the stereo - works fine!
And we can se the Airplaybutton on the iPhones and the name of the Airport Express - but we don´t get any sound when we push the button and it turns blue?
We have rebooted alle the devices, made restores, reconnected - but no sound? I just don´t get it?

Same here:
- iPhone 4 with iOS4.2;
- Airport Express with latest firmware;
- Airplay on iTunes 10.1 with Macbook Pro works fine on my home stereo equipment;
- installation of iOS4.2 went fine;
- rebooted already both iPhone and Airport Express;
- Apple support told me to restore original settings on my iPhone, which I didn´t do but very much doubt would help anyway (the lady working for Apple Support didn't even know what "Airplay" was).
I think we are facing a bug and must wait for an Airport Express (or even iOS4.2) software update.

  • Can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet?

    can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet? just from phone to express via local network or whatever it's called.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • AirPlay from iTunes to AirPort Express not working

    AirPort is connected with my network and fully working. I also set up AppleTV, which also is fully working and can mirror both my computer and iPhone. In order to play music from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (which is also connected to the network), I clicked the AirPlay button and received the following message: "An unknown error (-15006)occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device 'AirPort Express'". How do I get my iTunes on my MacBook Pro to connect?

    I finally resolved this myself. It was somehow "stuck" on a playlist. I could not stream from the main library, but once I tried to stream from that particular playlist - the whole thing started working again. Now I can stream from the main library and other playlists. A very strange quirk. I did rent a movie in iTunes last night for the first time and I had been streaming from that playlist prior to starting the rental movie - and I think somehow it must have gotten "stuck." Hopefully it is a bug no one else experiences because it wasted an hour of my time today.

  • How do I print from iPhone using Airport Express to a regular printer over enet

    I am trying to figure out how to print from my iPhone or iPad to a regular printer that is on my wired ethernet network. I purchased Airport Express and my iPhone recognizes the Airport Express. I connected the USB port to the USB port on printer. The printer recognizes the Airport Express. But my iPhone does not recognize the printer. Any ideas?

    See this article about AirPrint: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Note the next-to-last bullet in "Notes" near the bottom:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    I do not believe you can use AirPrint to print to a wired printer, period.  Very likely, you cannot use even a printer manufacturer's app to print to such a printer.  You would need a wireless printer.

  • Streaming directly from iPhone to Airport Express would'nt be great ?

    streaming music directly from my iPhone 3GS to any Airport Express, without iTunes and without a Mac ... presuming the iPhone can access the WiFi network !
    it would be a dream go true !
    do you know an iPhone app doing that ?
    or an Apple project in that way ?
    Eric, FRANCE

    thank you "neuroanatomist", thank you "roaminggnome"
    but...
    I would like this feature for some reasons :
    1- coming home, I would like to listen to my music or audiobooks without turning on my Mac for this elementary task ;
    2- I would like to listen to an audiobook when I'm not at home, on my iPhone, and, of course go on listening from the last point when coming home ; so the AB file must be on the iPhone, for these 2 reasons ;
    3- when I'm not at home, I would be please to play my friends some music or AB, using their Airport network ;
    4- streaming from the iPhone drains its battery but really not a problem : autonomy is good and we can recharge nearly everywhere using USB ;
    5- last but not least : currently iTunes has a bug preventing normal playing of long m4b files that play correctly on the iPhone ; but this is another story !
    But my request is perhaps unrealizable for 2 reasons :
    A- a technical question : is the Airtunes technology able to run without a Mac and iTunes ? in anorther word : to witch level is Airtunes implemented in the Express device ? Or : is it possible to setup an iPhone app able to use the Airtunes technology ?
    B- I've never tried to run 2 or more instances of iTunes on the same network, but what happens if I try to stream from each one to the same Airtport Express ? How are managed multiple sources ? Consider an iPhone barging in an Airtunes network and trying to stream to an Express already in use : managable ?
    still some uncertainty ...
    any help ?
    thanks
    Eric
    I'm a little frenchy, excuse me for my english mistakes !

  • Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

    Hi
    I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
    the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
    ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5  and lion on my Mac
    just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
    I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
    any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
    Thanks in advance

    thanks for your replies.
    It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
    But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
    I'll write to Apple

  • Can't connect from iphone to airport express

    Plugged airport express into wall outlet. Blinking yellow light. Tried to connect to airport express through iphone. Iphone says "cannot be set up by this"

    If it's an older 802.11b/g router you can't use the AirPort Utility on iPhone to configure it. Use the AirPort utility for Mac or Windows. You have many more configuration options using the desktop software as well. The utility on the iPhone is very basic.

  • Streaming music FROM iPhone TO Airport Express?

    hi everyone
    anybody knows an app who can do this? Stream my iPhone music to an Airport Express?

  • Stream music from iPhone to AirPort Express without network possible?

    For an event I want to send music directly to my Aiport Express with AirTunes which of course is plugged into an amplifier/mixer connected to the speakers.
    This way I can roam and control the music.  Is this possible without a network created by a router?  Can one effectively make a direct connection from an iOS device to the Aiport Express; and ad-hoc connection perhaps?

    Thanks for the update - I am only familiar with networks and this is actually an iPhone/iTunes question so I would suggest that you re-word your question and re-submit it on the appropriate forum - that being said, if you can do what you want to do with an Express attached to the internet then you can do it this way - however keep in mind that the only audio output on Express is for a regular audio cable or an optical cable - I hope this helps.

  • How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

    How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

    YES you can! - Gotta love those "you can't" answers from people who haven't even tried. ;o)
    Just have your Airport Express "Join" your iPhone. It will share your Internet connection through its Ethernet port. I currently have an AppleTV connected via Ethernet to the Airport Express. With this setup I have wireless Ethernet AND wired LAN connection. I can even AirPlay to the AppleTV and have Internet at the same time. Haven't tried a switch/hub but see no reason why it wouldn't work. This proves to be very useful to create a wired network with Internet from a cellular device without Ethernet.

    Exactly my point: it's not a problem of not having the right printer, it's a matter of iOS not allowing it because Air Print is blocking it, probably because of a deal with HP.
    But, I've solved the problem so now I can print from my iMac, my Mac Air, my iPhone and my iPad. No thanks to the folks at Apple who purposely blocked that functionality.
    Can you print from your iPad directly to the printer without involving an intervening computer, yes or no.

  • HT204291 No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    Sorry, your profile says iPhone 4. Best to be specific or have things up to date in order to avoid misunderstandings and prompt assistance.
    In any case you are still using basic airplay. You need to enable mirroring and this cannot be done within an app.
