AirPlay stoppes working as I change to a different zone.

Using an iphone to play AirPlay, in my different zones- each zone has a apple extreme powering the same wifi network. But as I move from one to another the wifi drops out and is unable to connect, therefore continue to play music.

okay, so its set up as a WPA2 personal nework.
The main controller is a apple extreme hardwired to a router that only supplies a internet input. its own wifi has been disabled.
in this zone it is hardwired to a apple TV. works perfectly and I have reports of over 450 Mbs data speeds between each apple extreme as of there are 3 repeaters running wirelessly elswhere.
Each one also hardwired to a AppleTV for their zone.
iPads connect in split seconds as they run on a different frequency to the iPhones & laptops.
when I move from upstairs to downstairs they loose the "network" and have difficulty reconecting.
strange as they are all set up under the "master" running the same IP's.

have an airplay enabled AV Receiver - how do i set up Airplay
I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

Why is airplay not working in mavericks?

Airplay has disappeared from the menu bar. I have installed 10.9.3

Hi Stonebrook,
It sounds like AirPlay was working but you no longer see the AirPlay mirroring options on your Mac. The article below has some great tips that should help you resolve the issue.
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
If you don't see mirroring options
If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the currentsoftware update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
If the menu bar or Dock is cropped
Some HDTVs have bezels that cover a small percentage of the screen. This can result in a slight cropping of a full-resolution HDTV image. Depending on the HDTV model, AirPlay Mirroring may automatically adjust the picture size to prevent cropping. If you are using OS X Mountain Lion or later, and you see cropping of the menu bar or Dock when using AirPlay Mirroring, toggle the Overscan correction option in Displays preferences.
Minimize video post-processing
HDTVs often apply picture quality enhancements intended to improve the look of film and video sources. In some cases, these enhancements can lead to over-sharpening artifacts when displaying your Mac desktop. Some HDTV models have built-in settings to change or disable the enhancements for use with a computer (computer, presentation, or game modes). Otherwise, the controls for sharpness, detail enhancement and noise reduction can be used to optimize the appearance of the Mac desktop. Consult your HDTV’s manual for guidance on the appropriate settings for use with a computer.
Firewall security settings
If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
Click Firewall Options.
Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.

Contact your carrier. If the carrier name is changing from IDEA to Idea, and it only fails consistently on one of them, then the problem is with the network.

I turned of iMessage and now I want it back on and it's not working, I have changed my password and now I don't know what to do. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

Any ideas on getting airplay to work with u-verse router?

Ok, so my airplay is just horrible on my apple tv/iphone/macbook pro combo.
Airplay is a total joke, it will play to the apple tv for maybe 20 seconds and then it just gets all choked. The "remote" app does the same thing. I upgraded my internet connection thinking that at&t would come out and give me a new router too, but i guess they just bump the download speeds to the router. I'm pretty sure that the router is the problem. It's a "2wire" 802.11g supplied by att.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm going to call the support number for the apple tv, but it's been my experience that support people are just looking at the same simple trouble shooting info that is posted on the internet. So i'm not expecting much.

well i did get airplay to work better by trying all the channels in the router and settling on channel 4 as being the most reliable.
Now if I could only get netflix to stream without stopping every minute or so. We have a 12mbps internet connection. Which is about 4 times faster than the standard At-t connection speed
I still think that this stuff requires a much better router than most people have. My router is a G router, and it seems maxxed out. I wish i knew that things would work well with a faster N router.

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC. On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC. Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes. I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever. My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems. I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions. So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme? I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did. Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems? I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

Airplay not working (only works through iTunes)

Hi, I am having problems getting my Airplay to work on my Pro.
If I am playing music through iTunes and have Airplay selected music will play through the Airplay speakers. However, when I Option-click the sound icon at the top right of the screen and select my AirPlay as the output device nothing happens. Similarly, when I go through the Sound-System Preferences I see my AirPlay as an option. If I select it it automatically deselects and returns to the Internal Speakers options. This is a problem because I don't exclusively use iTunes for music or want to project video sound through Airplay.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am running OSX 10.9.5 and my AirPort Express has recently been updates as well.
Thanks.

Have you tried contacting your ISP for support? Can you confirm that the email is suppose to be over Port 110 and not 143, or 995/993?

Still can't get airplay to work!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr. Still can't get airplay to work with either my iPad or my iPhone to my atv2. Everything has the latest firmware, including my airport extreme. Airplay is turned on in options on the atv2.
Everything is on the same network. I even switched networks but still nothing.
I do not see the blue icon that let's me stream to the tv.
What the heck am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that's the case, you need to update your system software to v10.5.8 which is the minimum requirement for the iPad.
Click the Apple () menu then click: Software Update...
And make sure Bluetooth is not enabled on either the iPad or the iPhone. Tapping Settings / General / Bluetooth.

Itunes 10.5.1 Airplay not working

I have updated to 10.5.1, after the update Airplay stopped working. OS 10.7.2! Tried reseting the Airport Express, then re choosing the Airport Express from Multiple Speakers, accepts the check mark, never shows connecting to remote device. Double checked that I could use Airplay from my Ipad to the same Airport Express that works. Seems to be related to the new iTunes 10.5.1 update!

Have a look at the following discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16539612#16539612
Running Disk Utility and let it repair permissions helped to solve my problem, identical to yours.
