Airport 'unknown error occurred (-15000)'

Hi,
I have been happily using Airport connected to external speakers to listen to iTunes played on my computer in a different room. Today when I tried to connect from iTunes I was given an error:
An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker 'xxx'. An unknown error occurred (-15000)
I have rebooted the Airport device but that doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions most appreciated?
Thanks

I did use the following...
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278
Although the settings were correct I turned them on and off anyway.
Then I rebooted the Express unit.
Lastly, it seems to have issues with "what order" you add the multiple speakers. I got the 15000 error and turned off the airport speakers. Then turned on the computer speakers then added the airport speakers. Worked...go figure.
**ADDED*** Forget I said much....when I changed tracked in iTunes it got the error again on the airport speakers. I really wish someone knew how to fix this

  • 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

    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.

  • 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".

  • Unknown error occured (-15000) when trying to connect to AppleTV.

    Hi all
    I used Apple TV 2 to Airplay music files into a hifi system from iTunes (WIndows 7 through a wifi connection). After AppleTV did a software upgrade couple of months ago Airplay stopped working and I get "an uknown error occured (-15000)" after a few seconds of "connecting to "Apple TV" in iTunes. Interestingly, movie files in iTunes still wok fine and stream. It also works the other way around - if i try to play music through Homesharing on the AppleTV. Then I tried my iPad and same issue - music files won't stream but movie files do.
    Desperately looking for a solution. Please help.
    Thanks!

    Did you ever get a response to this as I have the same problem?  Thanks Derek

  • An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "AirTunes AirPort Express". An unknown error occurred (-15000)

    ??? After upgrading to Lion.

    I'm getting the same exact error trying to play music wirelessly to my AppleTV (1st gen) from my desktop.  However, I'm not on Lion yet but still running 10.6.8.
    AppleTV v3.0.2
    Airport Extreme Base Station v7.6
    iTunes 10.5.1
    My firewall in mac system prefs is OFF and I still get the same error.
    Help... anyone?
    thanks

  • "An unknown error occurred (-15000)."

    Impossible to connect my Airport since the last update 10.6 & 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1
    Same problem after reboot computer, restart app. iTunes, disconnect airport express, reinitialize airport express.
    THX

    @emu201 Thanks for your suggestion.
    Have the same problem as most of the others described with similar configurations (timecapsule + airport express) / softwareversions (all latest - itunes 9.0.2).
    For your information - solution worked for about 10 seconds (after stopping and starting the wireless network), then lost the connection again.
    Changed everything back to orginal settings - IPv6 automatic - and now it works again; wonder for how long. Bit dodgy.
    Seems that there's no definite solution yet, so still looking for other solutions (besides downgrading itunes/ Snow Leopard to a previous version).
    More ideas anyone?
    Thanks!

  • An unknown error occurred while using remote from iPhone to iTunes on Mac

    I have STF for this answer, but am probably using the wrong words.  I have an iPhone 3Gs with a remote app on it.  I have several things going on.
    I have a mini-mac running iTunes 10.4.  This computer runs both my music for the house as well as my Apple TV.  When I use the Remote App lately for playing and controling music, and I tap on a song within an album, I get this error.  "An unknown error occurred.  Please check your library and try again".  I am having miserable luck (basically no luck) finding or playing the music in my iTunes.
    Then an error pops up after this.  "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library.  Check your network settings and try again."
    Recently (about 5-6 days ago), my Network Gateway crashed.  This was a Linux box running Gateway software. (ClarkConnect).  Since the disk was hosed, I replaced it with a fairly new (8-10 month old) Apple Airport Extreme (version 7.5.2).  I have set this up to port forward and dispense DHCP within my house and wireless network.  Is it possible that something needs to be set additionally on this to allow remote connections to iTunes from my iPhone.  I should also say that my iPad does this just fine using the same Remote App.

    I am getting this error whilst attempting to move NEF (Nikon RAW files) either between folders on the same hard-drive or between hard-drives (which are incorporated into my Lightroom catalogue).
    Whenever I receive this error, a strange (locked) file appears in the directory/folder to which I intended to move the file and on examining this file in the terminal I can see that it contains the following error message: "cannot execute binary file...logout". The filename of this strange file is usually very random such as 470F00FF-9FBC-4517-84BF-26E52251B2B9-449-0000020C6A4DD5FD
    I do not have any problems with missing sidecars and always select "save metadata to files" before attempting to move the files...can anyone figure this out?

    You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
    If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes and some of the songs downloaded but others didn't there was an error message 8003 Unknown error occurred. While I downloaded the album to my phone, it wouldn't download to my mac, what am I doing wrong???

    I purchased an album on ITunes store, while the items downloaded to my phone, it didn't download to my mac. Some of the songs downloaded but not the majority, when I try to download the songs, it gives me an error 8003 Unknown error occured. What am I doing wrong? If I can't download this album, how do I get a credit??

    Hello mercdw,
    Once the music has been downloaded to your iPhone, you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.
