Airtunes cutting in and out when using the internet.

Hi all,
I know this topic has been covered before and there is a support page for this problem on the apple website but I haven't been able to fix the problem using either hence the post so sorry for repetition.
As the title says my airtunes keeps cutting in and out, but it only seems to happen when I am actively using the internet. What I mean to say is that if the internet is connected and sitting there dormant it works fine, but as soon as a start to surf or download it cuts out, the higher the download/upload rate the longer the cut outs are until it stops all together.
My network contains the following,
2 Computers (1 iMac and 1 MacBook Pro)
1 Airport Express
The iMac is the host of the network, it also is the provider of the internet via a USB mobile broadband stick shared out via Airport (which cannot be connected directly into the Airport Express). Airport Express is used purely for Airtunes.
I could not change the channel setting to test for interference in Airport Utility as the iMac was the host. I tried changing the whole network channel on the iMac but the cut outs still occurred.
I use the MacBook Pro to send the audio from iTunes to Airport Express, distance would only be about 4 meters with no physical barriers such as stereo/cables/walls etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jarrod.

Any idea's please?

    If you have your iPad connected to the charger it could be the new "Hey Siri" feature that allows you to use Siri without pressing the home button. Do you have a radio on or are people talking ? Go to settings> general> Siri> Allow"Hey Siri"> off.

  • When using the internet, my web browser window goes blank

    It does this quite often:
    When using the internet, the web browser screen will go completly blank after 2 secs of loading.
    I will see the page, then after two seconds it is gone, and the web browser is completely white.
    Once, one page or tab does it, all the others start doing it.
    It is very frustrating, and happens quite often.
    Does this happen to anyone else, and does anyone know why or how to fix it??

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Our ipad 1 goes to a black screen periodically when using the internet.

    Our iPad 1 goes to a black screen periodically when using the internet. We have to hit the home button and hope we end up back at the site we were previously at. We have updated the iPad, but it still happens. Any suggestions on a solution?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • How do I know if my I pad is secure when using the Internet.

    How do I know if my I pad is secure when using the Internet?

    Pretty much the same way you'd know with any other device. Are you using cellular data? It's pretty secure. Are you using WiFi? If so, is it public, unsecured wifi? Or private WiFi with a password? If you're doing any type of sensitive transactions, are you checking to make sure that the website is secure by checking to see that the address begins with https not just http? Are you making sure you're typing in address for banks and financial institutions rather than clicking on links in email?

  • IF i'm on a call and try to use the internet function, I get an error message.  Is this normal?

    Depending on your carrier, with AT&T there shouldn't be a problem.
    If you with Verizon, you will need to be on Wifi, to do that.

  • Xfinity X1 - TV Sound Cuts In And Out When Connected to Surround Sound Receiver

    I'm a fairly new Comcast Xfinint X1 TV and Internet subscriber.  I am experiencing issues with TV sound cutting in and out.  The sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds, all the time.  The Onkyo surround sound receiver has been used without issue on a different cable TV platform so I know there is nothing wrong with the receiver. System set-up. Voice/data modem - Arris Interactive, LLC - tg862gCable Box - Make/Model - PA px001ancSurround Sound Receiver - Onkyo TX-NR609 HDMI cable run from cable box to Onkyo receiver.  HDMI cable run from Onkyo receiver to TV.  I have reset all equipment multiple times with no resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is very difficult when trying to watch TV. 

    I highly doubt your modem has anything to do with this because it doesn't have MoCA.However it sounds like you an original green power light Pace DVRs and they are well known to have audio dropout issues. I would replace that DVR with a different version.
    Is this problem happening on a specific channel? CBS seems to be having issues lately. I am watching the CMA awards right now and I have heard the volume change a couple times but this is the only channel it is happening on which would suggest it is not Comcast's fault.

  • My blutooth headset cuts in and out based on the position of the gen 4 ipod touch, any ideas as to why this is and how to fix it?

    When using a blutooth headset with my ipod touch the signal seems to cut in and out. The controls seem to work fine but the audio cuts out when the unit is moved or placed in my pocket.

    Could be interference
    AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
    Try:
    - Reseting the BT headset
    - 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.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all wifi networs and re-pair all BT devices

    Hi There,
    Can you please confirm your operating system ? Do you have the full administrative rights ? Are you getting any error when trying to insert Web Object interaction ?
    Would like to inform you Captivate 6 onwards interactions have been uploaded on server. Captivate pings this server on a regular basis, If there is any firewall or strict network policy then it might take some time to check the URL or might be result in crash or freeze.

  • Does anyone else have to renew their DHCP Lease every 30 seconds when using the internet?

    Everytime I want to use the internet for surfing the web or browsing iTunes etc I have to go into System Preferences and navigate through to a button that says "Renew DHCP Lease". If watching catch-up TV online I have to click this button every 30 seconds or so because the programme freezes, and if I'm surfing the web or browsing iTunes I have to click it every time I want to update the content of the page. Does anybody know what my problem might be?

    This Fix has got things working for me.
    I have reprinted this response from another thread I have made (Repost) A number of people were asking me about my fix, so I have expanded my response to hopefully offer a little more clarity.
    I was having this problem the other night after I finished doing a massive upgrade to our Home Network (New Router, Modem, Cabling, Etc)
    I had to reset my DHCP lease every few minutes, in the end I found Mac Mini's IP Address kept setting itself to other items on the Network, I have some items connected on wired (ethernet) and some were connected on WiFi (Airport Extreme) after clicking the DHCP Lease Renew the Mac Mini would grab an IP address that it thought was available but then another item on my network would "check in" then we would have a clash, The Mac Mini was grabbing what it thought was an available IP address, the DHCP Renew button was not setting the Mac Mini's IP number far enough away to stop the clash.
    I was watching the items on my Routers Attached devices screen, The Mac Mini would show up on the page with its new address (after hitting the DHCP Renewal button) then something else would check in with that exisiting IP Address, clash and the Mac Mini would need it's DHCP lease renewed again.
    My Network consists of:
    - Mac Mini (Wired)
    - Acer Laptop (Wired)
    - PS3 (1) (wired)
    - Apple TV (wired)
    - Airport Extreme (wired and looking ater WiFi duties throughout the house)
    - PS3 (2) (WiFi)
    - TV (WiFi)
    - iPad (WiFi)
    - Nexus 7 (WiFi)
    - Printer (WiFi)
    I'll be the first to admit my Networking knowledge is limited (and I'm learning more all the Time) but I simply went into the preferences panel and set the IP address manually.
    1. I went into Preferences and selected Network
    2. Set Configure IPV4 to: using DHCP with manual address
    Now it helped I had my NetGear Routers "Attached devices" Page open here so I could see the address of everything else on my network (I went and switched everything on that was web connected so it would be logged in and running on the network) I looked at the last digit or 2 of every item on my network and then set my new IP address.
    3. To ensure I wouldn't have any more clashes I set my new IP address far away from the the others* your only changing the last digit or 2 of the IP address, so in the case of my Mac Mini it went from
    xxx.xxx.02 to xxx.xxx.0.52 (note the x's are normally your IP address numbers)
    *I originally set it to xxx.xxx.09 but I since found the TV had that IP address (The one thing I forgot to check the previous night) so I this is when I decided to set it far away from the rest of the bunch by setting it to .52 (No specific reason for 52, that was just the 1st number to pop into my head)
    Now that was over a week ago and since then I have had no more issues on my Network, so far everything is running smooth and fast. (It has now been over 3 weeks since I posted this, and everything is still working perfectly, I suggested this solution to 2 friends having the same issue and it also fixed there problems as well)
    I'm not saying this is the be all and end all to the problem, there must be a more permanent solution out there, but this is working for me so far.

  • Laptop crashes when using the internet - Satellite Pro L100

    Hi i got my laptop (satellite pro L100) 5 days ago and i connect through a router to the internet, but over the last few days when im using the internet a help window opens automatically and about 90 internet explorer windows open, it became really frustrating, im using norton which came with it, anyone got any ideas ive ran a virus scan and adaware scan but came up with nothing
    thanks
    Mark

    Hi
    I can understand you very well. For me its a shock if 90 IE windows would appear on my little notebook screen. SCREAM !!! :O
    However, did you install any 3rd party applications which could open the windows?
    I think this is not a normal system state and if it appears since view days so you should try to roll back the OS to the early point.
    Furthermore you could try to check in the MSCONFIG what background processes runs on the OS. If there are some very strange processes you should disable it and you should remove it from the autorun.

  • TS1398 Why is it that my iPod 'connects' to a wifi network but doesn't log an IP address and can't use the internet?

    My iPod has no trouble connecting to my wifi connection, but never stops loading. The wifi bars appear at the top of the iPod, but when you get further details on the wifi network, no IP address is logged; neither is the router number or the DNS number. My iPod registers that a wifi connection exists, but it can't hook up to it to use the internet. Does anyone know what is wrong?

  • Why is my 8gb ram macbook is slow when using the internet compared to my old laptop?

    i just purchased my macbook last week and i've noticed that using the internet has been quite bad at home. It seems to run pretty fast when using my schools wifi however it just doesn't make sense that my old laptop would still run faster than my new 8gb ram macbook. My internet plan is with telstra -50gb ADSL modem and it promises speeds up to 20 mbps and i'm only getting 4.11 mbps...

    Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
