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.

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.

now have iTunes connect to the remote speaker again.

My Itunes account was hacked and my Apple ID was disabled. I followed the instructions from APPLE to backup and restore from Itunes but that did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

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.

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.

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.

Airport Express Not Working

Maybe someone can give me a hand. The airport express is working great for AirTunes but will not hookup to the internet. We've plugged in via ethernet wire and it works fine. We've also tried resetting the airport and unplugging it, resetting our computer. No dice. On the top of the computer screen the aiport indicator reads full internet perfectly but cannot connect. We're stumped.
Thanks for anyone who can give us a hand.

Assuming you have a green light and you wireless mac can see the network but you have no internet; unplug the cablemodem for a minute.

Airport Express not working with Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC

My 2012 Airport Express was working fine with my Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC until about a week ago when the signal started dropping constantly. I hard wired the modem to my computer and everything worked fine. I took the Airport Express to the Genius Bar and it is working fine. I have followed the instructions posted throughout this board to reset the AE to factory settings, then turn everything off for 1/2 hour, turn on just the modem, the the AE 15 minutes later and the computer 15 minutes after that, but to no avail. When I try to set up the AE using Airport Utility, it allows me to assign a name and password, but then the light goes to solid amber and I get "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." Any ideas?

I'm still struggling trying to get the SB6141 to stay connected with my Airport Extreme but it drops altogether every day or 2 but if you're looking for an alternative, I've heard the Netgear CMD31T works well with the airport.

HT201210 My iPod touch does not respond, I tried to restore it from itunes but it did not work, itunes recognize it but the restore process seems to do nothing

my iPod touch does not respond, I'm trying to restore from itunes but it does not work

What exactly happens when yu ty to restore?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.

Airport Express not working with iTunes

After experiencing cutting out and poor sound quality, I reset my Airport Express to factory settings. It is part of of my network with an Airport Extreme. Everything appears to be correctly configured and I get a message indicating it was successful, but then I get an error message after the restarting of the Airport Express and I can no longer see airport Express listed in the Airport Utility window. Playing iTunes through my stereo speakers does not work. In order to attempt the configuration again, I have to reset the Airport Express to see it in the window again. I get the same result each time. Can you suggest anything in the configuration of my Airport Express which would be causing the problem I have an iMac running OS 10.4 Thanks for your help.

I had a similar problem. My solution was NOT to use the Airport Utility application. Make sure you reset your airport express then do the following:
1/ Open Preferences
2/ Choose Network
3/ Highlight Airport and insure it is clicked "ON".
4/ See if it shows up under "Network Name"....if it does click "Apply".
Let me know if u get it working...

Streaming from iTunes to AirPort Express interrupted with good conectivity

I connect from my iMac to a radio in the kitchen via AirPort Express. The stream from iTunes is interrupted ever so often and the second speaker in AirPlay is dimmed. The connection to the AirPort Express remains excellent throughout. Restarting helps, but then it tends to happen again. Sometimes after an interruption it starts working again. I did not notice any specific timing or other activity on my iMac that could cause this.
Any ideas?
Detlef

besides changing the radio channel used, also try this:
open system preferences
open network pane
select airport in the left list
click the advanced button
go to the TCP/IP tab
set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
click OK
click apply
now try again to connect to your remote speakers.

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.
