Airplay music random interrupts.

Airplay drops out every so often, why? Playing from a iPhone using the iPod app and thru a wireless network.

Lunieri,
Thanks for the good questions and I will try to answer them.
I was sitting in the dinning room at the table with my iPhone 4. The wireless signal was maxed out. I went to iPod app on my iPhone and selected some music and started to play. Next, I used the AirPlay tool and selected the Airport express that is connected to my livingrom speaker. Music started playing. All good. Then about 5 or 6 songs into it, the music stopped. I looked at the iPod app on the iPhone and it said that the music was still palying but no music. The pause lasted for about 30 seconds then the music resumed not where itleft off but 30 seconds later. Wireless signal strength was strong throughout the incident. This ghappened thre more times int he next hour or so; very anoying to say the least. My wireless is an Airport Extreme with "n" speed and the Airport Express is brand new "n" speed and with the latest firmware.
Any ideas?

Using a radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV. Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?

I want to use a FM radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV (by using the synchronizing function). Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?
Why don't use iTunes? Because this just needs to many handling in order to get it where i want it (in general, this whole idea of doing everything online just works likes... ). An app is easier (that's why it is invented).

Hey AKfishgirl,
Thanks for the question. The common variable here is your Wi-Fi router. Let’s check to see if the commonly used ports are being blocked by a firewall on your router:

AirPlay Music

AirPlay music from iP4 not workiong on new apple tv, video works fine.

I am having the exact same issue with Iphone 4 and iPad 1st gen. I can view video, photos, and use the remote app just fine. Also I'm not having an issue with the icon, it is there and detects the Apple TV but music just doesn't stream. Or more accurately audio isn't streaming. Not even non-music apps or games are working.

Do you really mean the latest, as in 11.0.1? That was supposed to include a fix for Airplay.

Can I use an Airport Express to airplay music without using it as a Router?

We have recently switched ISPs and our Airport Express is no longer being used as the router. Is it possible to use the device itself to airplay music from a computer without having to set it back up as our router?

Yes. Please checkout the following Apple support article for details. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4587

If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i airplay music in every room at the same time?

If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i airplay music in every room at the same time?
Or just one device(room) at a time?
It seems there is a lot of home theater systems where they all hook up to one "control" and then disperse to the different locations per instructions..
Is this possible with all apple products?

From iTunes using Multiple Speakers (you can control with the Remote app on iPhone/iPad too), but not from AppleTV itself.

HT204291 Apple TV has huge lag when airplay music from iPhone 5, but video streaming is just fine.

My new iPhone 5 has trouble with airplay music, however, it did perfectly with video sharing.
Symptoms: In "Music" app, turn on airplay, tv screen shows the current playing song. But, it has a huge lag, time jumps every 2 second instead of continously roll over. Switch to "Pandora", same issue. But with youtube video, both video and sound appear very normal.
I tried with my old iPhone 4, no problems at all. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the 5. Any idea how to fix this?

Same here. Streaming from my MBA 2012 to apple tv3 works flawlessly, but any type of streaming with iphone 5 has huge lag. I have 10 mbps of internet dl speed and a cisco N broadband router.

Music randomly disappears during sync with iPhone

When I sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, music randomly disappears from my iTunes library. The first time, 100 items "could not be found," then the last time 10 items "could not be found." Songs are still listed in the library, but they will not play and they have an exclamation point next to them. I have everything backed up on an external drive, but it's a pain to have to keep dragging songs back over. This problem began after my most recent OS X update. The items are very random and incude songs purchased from iTunes, songs from CDs I own and "digital book" downloads included with albums I purchased through iTunes. I would very much appreciate any help. I'm afraid to sync music anymore!

Unfortunately, this does not fix my issue. The battery indicator still disappears sometimes (not always) when syncing and I always have the sidebar showing. BTW, this only happens with my 5S not with my wife's 5 or my iPad 3. It used to happen with the 5 that used to be mine until I got the 5S and gave the 5 to my wife. Because of this I think it has something to do with some app I have loaded (but since I have many apps it would be very hard to track down).

I am using my iPhone as an mp3 player. if a call comes in will the music be interrupted ?

while using my iphone as an mp3 player, if a call comes in will the music be interrupted?

Yes, it is a phone first. The only way that would not happen is if you have the device in Airplane mode, which turns the phone portion off.

I just put my earphones and then started watching something but suddenly my music randomly plays then stops then plays again. HELP!

I have a yellow (some call it neon green) iTouch 5th Gen 32GB. I was watching something when my music randomly played. Afterwards, it stopped. Suddenly, it kept playing again! Then it kept repeating on off on off. How do I stop this?!?!? It's really annoying.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone 3GS : Random Interruptions while using iPod & NikePlus App

IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT APPLE BY PHONE or EMAIL
I JUST SPOKE TO APPLE CARE AND THEY CLAIM NOONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS.
They told me that if more people complain, then and only then, will they have their engineers look into it.
I've been having the same problem also. It first happened with the NikePlus App....it would pause workout and resume workout randomly.
Yesterday I went for a bike ride and while using the iPod on my iPhone 3GS the Voice Control would interrupt the music at random.
I think it started after the recent (June2010) iPhone software update.
Totally Annoying!!!
Applecare recommended that I open iTunes with my phone attached and proceed to 'Restore phone to New'. They asked me not to add any apps to the phone until after testing the iPod again during another workout to see if the problem is resolved. Then, I'm to add the NikePlus app and try it again. This way, they can try to pinpoint if it's an App Calibration problem. I'm to contact them to with the results. (I'll post it here also)
*If you too have this problem...please report the problem to apple so that they can address the issue.*

its not your phone bud im having the same problem to keeps crashing and i know its not that the phone is old unless you call 2days old as got it from apple store buch st glasgow on the 14th dec 2011 its an ios issue im sure as my last 1 updated to ios 5 and it wouldnt read sims no longer after speaking to apple they agreed to replace my handset as they are aware that the ios is frying some 3gs model mines was left a brick ie paper weight so if mines is crashing ect i cant even use the camera as it sticks then switches off apple need to sort this ios 5 out

After recent updates I am unable to airplay music from my iPhone 4s to Apple TV

I have iPhone 4s updated to os6 and new apple TV the black one. it was working fine but recently I noticed I can no longer do airplay. I can not even mirror stuff anymore. everything is updated, whats the deal? I tried regular player and that has no icon for airplay either. Wisky tango foxtrot?
P.s. everything is synched up with the same good wifi network theres internet on both the apple tv and iphone 4s everything is updated but airplay does not work...

In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it look and behave more like previous versions. Then connect your phone, click on it's name on the left side, go to the Music tab and make sure you haven't selected Sync your entire library. You may want to check the songs in your library that you want on your phone, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and select Sync only checked songs and videos, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. This should transfer only the checked songs and remove the rest.

IPad cuts out and stutters on AirPlay music but iPhone does not?!

Hi folks, hope you can help with this problem, it's a little weird.
I bought an Apple TV a few days ago and have been enjoying streaming music from my apple devices onto the hifi system connected to the TV. It works great except for one particular use-case, which is really frustrating. Basically, I can do everything from the Apple TV, stream HD content, Netflix etc. all good. From my iPhone I can do everything over AirPlay, stream music from iTunes, from Spotify, stream high quality video from YouTube or off the device itself, all works perfectly.
On my iPad 2 however everything works EXCEPT streaming music, it's bizarre. I can stream a high def video from YouTube onto the iPad and AirPlay it over to the ATV and it never misses a beat. I can mirror my screen onto the TV and stream games like Real Racing HD with no issues or lag whatsoever. However when I try to stream music either from iTunes or Spotify from the iPad it stutters (cuts out) every 30 seconds or so, making the music intolerable.
The weirdest thing is that I can queue up the same track on my iPhone 4s and on the iPad 2, play it from the iPhone and it works perfectly, pause that, play from the iPad and it's a complete mess. Similarly, when music is stuttering and cutting out on the iPad, I can switch directly to the YouTube, or BBC iPlayer app and stream high def video over AirPlay with no sound or video problems, then switch back to the music - back come the cut outs. It's driving me mad, I want the iPad to be the device everyone uses to play music from, especially for parties, but at the moment I have to get my phone out every time.
So it's not a bandwidth problem or a wifi signal problem (because video over airplay is fine) and it only affects music and it only affects the iPad.
Any ideas?!?!
I should state that all the iOS devices have the latest apple software and I have already tried resetting the iPad, the ATV, my wifi router etc. etc.

"Sonos" your Airplay
Hi,
This observation elicited a Eureka moment. After months of problems with our airplay I had worked through almost every suggestion on the net to little or no avail.
As a result of this post I reconfigured one of our access points as a dedicated airplay network. Brilliant. We have now had 2 weeks of perfect airplay.
If you are reading this, you are probably fairly tech savvy. You therefore probably have an old router in the garage, shed or attic.
Get it out, dust it off and connect it to your network as an access point (Ethernet cable and a good internet search on your router). Set it up on an empty wireless channel as "*****airplay" or whatever suits you and connect the airplay clients (airport express, Apple TV, airplay speakers etc.) to that. Keep everything else on the original wireless network.
Interestingly, this is how Sonos have approached the wireless music solution.
This has worked brilliantly for us, I hope this helps others in a similar predicament.

Ps - This is a good work around, but , come on apple - it shouldn't need a degree in engineering
