Airplay unknown error -15007

cannot connect using airplay to russound speakers.  worked last week but now seeing unknown error (-15007).

Thanks for the suggestion. The default position of the IPv6 was "link-local only", and I changed it to HOST.  I gave it a try and all features worked great for a few hours. Then, suddenly, the AppleTV no longer supported airplay.  It could still see my home shared iTunes library, and I had full internet access (NetFlix worked fine). Later in the day, the AppleTV could not find my home share volume.  Other internet access still worked fine.  Internet speed tests from my iPad showed over 6MB/sec download speed and 2MB upload speed, so the internet connection seemed fine.
If I plugged in an Airport Express cube, the music option of AirPlay showed up on my iPhone 4, but still no AppleTV. The AirPlay option on the AppleTV was still turned ON.
The next morning, the AppleTV could see my iTunes database, but still AirPlay did not work.
In fact, I've had only had AirPlay trouble (though iPhone, iPad, or iTunes) with the AppleTV, and only since installing the Gen4 TimeCapsule and Lion.

  • Itunes Airplay unknown error - 15000

    Hi
    i'm having trouble with ITunes 10.4.1.10 and my airport express.
    It fails to connect saying an unknown error occurred (-15000)
    i can "see" and configure the airport express from the pc, so there is no netwrok issue blocking the pc.
    this is on a desktop pc running windows 7, it worked fine before i upgraded from itunes 10.1.1.4
    and it does still work from a laptop running windows 7 starter using itunes 10.1.1.4
    any ideas??
    thanks in advance

    I found this by "robinsf" on another thread and it's worked for me.
    "Hi folks. This one has been bugging me since I upgraded to Itunes 10. But I started playing around in my firewall settings. I finally was able to allow UDP Port 6002 in my firewall and then scared myself to death when all my Airport Expresses in the house started blasting music. I'm using Windows Vista. In the Control Panel, I selected Security - Allow a program through Windows Firewall. In the Firewall Settings, I selected the Exceptions tab. I clicked "Add Port..." and added the following: Name: Itunes-AirportExpress (just so I could easily find the entry again if I needed to) Port Number: 6002 Protocol: UDP."

    Hi all,
    Thanks for your comments.
    In my knowledge, there isn't any security software active on my computer.
    After re-setting my routeur several times, I finally swapped it against an Airport Time Capsule.
    It solved the problem, however, I would be interested to know if a (less expensive) solution exists.

  • "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Living Room Apple TV". An unknown error occurred (406)."

    This error message keeps popping up overtime I try to play an iTunes bought tv show from my mac book pro to my apple tv "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Living Room Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (406)."
    Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it. Both devices are registered on the same apple id and password. This problem just started happening within the last week or so but prior to that everything was working as it should have. In fact since the launch of icloud things have been glitchy for me with purchasing and playing off the apple tv as well.
    Can someone please help?'
    Thanks

    Unfortunately Apple's error codes are very much a mystery (at least to me), try restarting the Apple TV, iPad and router. If that doesn't help look into whether you might be encountering interference on your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV". An unknown error occurred (-15000).

    Hi ,
    I acquired an Apple TV (Gen3) a couple of days ago.
    The Apple TV seems to be connected properly to WIFI (Good signal)
    I watched streaming videos on Youtube and film trailers – the speed is ok.
    I followed the protocol but, still, I cannot connect Itunes to the Apple tv.
    These are the error messages:
    On the TV : apple tv could not connect to library
    In Itunes: An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).
                    Please note that Apple TV doesn’t appear in the list of devices in Itune’s preferences menu.
    The Home Share is enabled on both devices and I connected with the Same Apple ID on each device.
    Airplay is on.
    Ref Apple TV :
    Apple tv: Model MD199HC/A
    Serial number DY******RHN
    apple tv software : 5.3(6105)
    Imac: OS X version 10.8.4
    I already tried to :
    Unplug/plug modem and router
    Test connectivity
    Disable the Firewall
    Re-enable the firewall with Itunes in the list of ‘allowed’ devices
    Re-set Apple TV (3 times) + Up to date
    Re-start Apple TV and computer several time
    Itunes is up to date
    Could you please help?
    Many Thanks

  • I keep getting this message An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device " AirPort Express".

    Please help. I have been having major difficulties with my Airport Express. It used to work fine but for the last year or so it continually disconnects, skips and ultimately drops out and itunes gives me this message "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”. I keep resetting, unplugging, restarting Itunes, or my computer. It works for a couple of hours and then I get the message again. It's making me nuts and was a bummer at last week's party when we had no music, yet again. I have looked up the support discussions, but there is no answer as to how I can fix it. I am currently using Mt Lion OS. Does this have anything to do with it? Checked for software updates, but nada.
    Any suggestions.

    It may be possible the where you have the AX located may just be in a spot where it does not get a good signal even it is only 8 feet away.
    I suggest that you download and install iStumbler. You will use it to determine the signal quality by making Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements. This will be easiest if your Mac is a laptop ... or you can borrow one. When taking the measurements, you only want your "main" AirPort running as this is what we want to measure at the location of the AX.
    SNR (in dB) = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm)
    You can easily find the Signal and Noise value using System Profiler on your Mac laptop.
    ref: Click on the Apple icon on the menu bar > About This Mac > More Info... > Contents > Network > AirPort > Interfaces > en1 > Current Network Information > Find your wireless network > Signal / Noise
    While your still in the System Profiler, note the value for Transmit Rate.
    These values should be negative numbers. For example, mine currently read: -67 dBm / -95 dBm, with a transmit rate of 27 (Mbps). Plugging in these numbers yield: SNR = -67 - (-95) = 28. My Mac Mini is about four rooms away from my AEBS with about five walls between them. As you can see, the signal is still quite useable ... but the bandwidth is minimal, especially for streaming.
    SNR Guideline
    40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    Please post back your results.

  • I had itunes played from my PC to my music system that is connected through a nework.  It use to work fine, but now I get an error message that say "An error occured while connecting to the Airplay Device "Stereo".  An unknown error occured (-15000)".

    When trying to play itunes from my PC to my stereo connected to an Airport Express, I gen an error that says "An error occured while connecting to the Airplay device "Stereo" an unknown error occured (-15000)".  This has happened before and for reasons unknown to me, the problem corrects itself, then it starts again/  Makes me wish I did not have my music on itunes.

    moehadi, Welcome to the discussion area!
    This is typically caused by a firewall or Internet security software running on your PC. Please read the comments in "Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes".
    Also there is "iTunes 8: Unknown error -15000 when attempting to stream music to devices connected to AirPort Express with AirTunes".

    An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”.

    I had the same issue, started getting the error after my Airport Express had been working perfectly for over two years.
    On another post in this site, someone advised disabling IPv6.
    System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> Configure IPv6 to OFF
    This instantly fixed the streaming for me. Not sure why or if it will work for AppleTV.
    Hope this helps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your computer.

  • An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Frontera Speakers".

    I have seen several threads that address problems connecting an Airport Express to an existing network. However, I have had no luck with any of the suggestions. I have configured at Airport Express base station as an AirPlay device. The unit shows up as connected in Airport Utility 5.6 and can be selected through iTunes. After several moments of displaying a dialog box indicating a connection to remote speakers the following error is displayed in the finder: An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Speakers" Airport Utility lauches automatically and displays the following error: Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again.

    I have rebuilt permissions and reset the airport multiple times. At a loss.
