Airplay stops wifi connection

We had a power outage during the hurricane and I haven't been able to stream music to my Airport base station since - not from my computer, phone or iPad.  I CAN stream from them to my Apple TV.  It appears that my wifi signal goes out after hitting Play in iTunes or using the Apple Remote app.  I can also send things to my printer attached to the same Airport base station so I think the Airport is OK.

I recently started having the same type of issue with my 3GS and our home wireless router. All other devices in my house were not having any issues. They include a MacBook, a MacBookPro and a wireless printer. We have 2 iPhone 3GS both running iOS 4.3. This problem seems to have started over the last few months, but not exactly sure when. I tried to do some research, but have yet to find an answer. Yesterday, I finally login into the router and change the encryption algorithm from TKIP + AES to just AES. I only have two choices on my verizon router. I am still testing this changes, but it seems promising so far.
This thread mentions something about an issue with the TKIP. Has anyone else been able to find information backing that up? From what I read, AES is better than TKIP so if the AES continues to work, then I guess my problem is solved?

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • Use airplay with Apple TV without wifi connection

    Is it possible to use the AirPlay feature on an iPad with Apple TV without being connected to the internet via wifi? 
    I'm thinking about getting my mom an iPad for X-mas later this year so that she can help some of her visually impared students.  She has always wanted a good visual aid for all of her students and I figure that this would be the best solution.  The only problem is that I'm not sure if she would have access to the school's wifi connection. 
    I would normally suggest that she use the HDMI adapter but the projector in her classroom is mounted on the ceiling and it would be a bit of a hassle to have to disconnect the cable every time so that the kids wouldnt play with it.  So I figure if she can stream her content on her future iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly, she would be able to achieve what she has always wanted to do.  I dont think she will be streaming anything to the Apple TV like youtube or anything like that but it would be a nice tool to have in the event that she wants to present something to her kids wirelessly from her iPad.

    Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

  • HT204291 My apple tv is not airplaying to any of my devices - the airplay icon is completely gone!  I've reset apple tv, checked home sharing is on, checked my wifi connection is active but still no luck? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

    - the airplay icon is completely gone!  I've reset apple tv, checked home sharing is on, checked my wifi connection is active, no firewalls, but still no luck? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

    What IOS and OS are you using Elissa.  I think from your post it used to work but has dropped off, is that correct or has it never worked?  If it did wotk has anything changed?  Check your wifi use with sopmething like istumbler to see if it is being used by neighbours etc?

  • When I bootup my Macbook my family's PCs  wifi connections stop working !

    Hi everybody, when my nephew boots up his Macbook (Snow Leopard 10.6.5) he can regularly surf the web through a wireless router. However the wifi connection on other devices (Windows Vista notebook PCs, Linux Pcs, Windows 2000 PC, Playstation 3 wireless, PSP, Xbox ecc.) stops working. When he shuts off his Macbook, wifi connection on Windows/Linux PCs etc. starts to work again.
    I've had similar issues only with a wireless TV signal transmitter (working at 2.54 GHZ). When it is on, wifi connection is impossible, no matter what channel is selected (it has 4 channels).
    What to do with my nephew's Macbook? I can see that every 10 seconds Airport is searching for wireless signals (the wifi led on the router blinks), but no other traffic is sent/received so I don't think it's a bandwidth problem.
    Can Airport be shut off and can I connect to wifi router without airport using other apps or using a terminal (console) application (I use Linux and many commands are the same, i.e " iwconfig - ifconfig ")?
    Maybe it's the transmitting power of MAcbook wifi device (too strong?). Can it be modified? I'm not a Mac guru... In linux there is a command, say "iwconfig wifi0 txpower 20mW " to tell the wifi driver to use 20 mW transmitting power on wifi0 device. In that Macbook the wifi device is called "en1"...
    Many thanks in advance for good ideas..!

    Many thanks for such a fast answer!
    @ a brody
    I have so many wifi devices (at least 17) I don't want to create a MAC address filtering rule for each one of them! I don't ever know if my router can accept filters on so many MAC addresses!! But I will try out your suggestion if I can't solve in other way.. Thank you!
    @ J D McIninch
    Thank you, I will try... However, my router don't need to be restarted to get online again: when my nephew shuts off his Macbook the wifi connection is all ok. How could it be that a routing table gets corrupted when the Macbook is on, and that very same routing table gets repaired as soon as the Macbook is shut down? I'm sure, however, my router is a pre-N one ( Belkin modem/router bought in 2004, 802.11 b/g 54Mb with 125Mb turbo mode feature always turned off for backward wifi compatibility)
    Thanks

  • Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?

    Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay
    With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
    * iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
    * Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
    To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

  • WIFI connections stop working in lion

    Since upgrading to Lion the wifi connection between my computers has stopped working
    or ar best works really sloooooowly.
    I have 3 macs, I use wifi at times to talk to them all, in particular from my Mac Book Pro
    which moves around a lot.
    Since the upgrade connecting to my local network has been slow, Today it stopped working completely.
    I use CMD-K to call up the network browse and clicking BROWSE I see a list of attached computers. Double clicking the one I want the folders on the remote system pop open very quickly under Snow Leopard. Now it is a big problem and the Mac Book Pro procedure causes nothing at all to happen. This is quite serious BS as I use these tools in this configuration for my work. It is no longer fast, or does not work at all.
    The computers I am using
    Mac Book Pro mid-2010. i7 with Lion 10.7 and WIFI enabled and internet working ok, just the connect to my other computers is failing.
    iMac 20 inch aluminum mid 2008, core 2 duo, WIFI enabled, also ethernet to ADSL modem. Internet OK. Lion 10.7
    MacMini late 2010, core 2 duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Ethernet connection to ADSL modem. Internet OK.
    Anyone else having a problem like this? Today is the first day it just failed. Today I upgraded the iMac to 10.7 Lion and it is after trying to connect with MB Pro Lion that it just fails to connect to the iMac at all, returns no errors.

    I am having the same issue.  I've been struggling with figuring out if it's Verizon or Lion because whenever the internet is down on my mac it's also down on my PC, but it began exactly when I upgraded to Lion.  I have yet to find an answer to this problem and have been on the phone with Verizon numerous times to try and fix the issue.  The only thing that helps is to restart my Verizon modem/router and then my internet is re-established for about 6-8 hours.  It's extremely frustrating and the only thing I have been able to find on blogs is that other people are experiencing the same problems without resolution.

  • Why does my wifi connection stop working sometimes?

    Hello.
    Maybe this has already been answered and I'm sorry but I didnt know what word to use in english to find the exact problem in google lol.
    Well, The problem is that my wifi connection seems to stop working sometimes, it takes about 1 to 10 min and then it just comes back. I can notice it because Safari stop to load pages, the appstore doesnt load, and I tried with google chrome : same results
    I experience this about 2 to 5 times a day, it's just pretty annoying. The wifi logo shows that it is always connected, it never shows that he is reconnecting
    May this be a router problem...? Or simply the computer
    My specs : 1,6GHz, intel core i5
    2go of RAM. It's a 2 years old MBA
    Thanls a lot !

    Hi CPUGenuis!
    I have an article for you that addresses this situation and will help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
    If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
    See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • When I don't use my iphone, my wifi connection stops

    since a few days my wifi connection stops when I don't use my Iphone. So when someone send me a messag with whatsapp I don't receive it untill I turn on, use my iphone back. What do I have to do so that my wifi is always on? I did'nt change anything on my Iphone, but it does'nt work since a few days.

    I just don't understand one thing. Before last week I had no problems about it (I had wifi all the time, even when I did'nt use my iphone, and now (when I came back from holiday) it does'nt go anymore. So buying a iphone wasn't a good idea. I have wifi, but if I don't use my iphone it is not possibel to reach me because the wifi falls off.
    I understand that it is for saving the battery. But I still don't understand that it stops working (my wifi).
    when I don't use my iphone, my wifi connection stops

    Ohh thanks guys!
    It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
    So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
    haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
    But again, really thanks!
    /Neuwerld
    that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself.  with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
    also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background.  that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
    all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

    Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
    If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
