An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker. The network connection failed.

I can't get my itunes to connect to the remote speakers via airport express anymore  - I did not change any settings - but did update iTunes to 10.2.2 and now things are not working and I get his message - "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker “Living Room”. The network connection failed."
Does anybody have a fix for this problem?
thanks

Same problem for me. Ever since I upgraded to 10.6.3 and iTunes 9.1, about once per week I'll get the error message when trying to get iTunes/Airtunes to connect to my older Airport Express (running firmware 6.3) "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker <insert speaker name here>. The network connection failed." (No error codes are given.)
Airport Utility sees the offending Airport Express just fine (and there's a green light on said AE).
Curiously, a newer AE-n, elsewhere in the house (running firmware 7.4.2) does NOT exhibit this problem.
Simply restarting the offending AE does NOT clear the problem. Restarting the main router - a Time Capsule DOES clear the problem. Alternatively, toggling off the Airtunes functionality on the offending AE, restarting it, then toggling Airtunes back on, and finally restarting it DOES clear the problem (as an alternate to restarting the router). No matter how the problem is cleared, it returns within a week. It's frustrating that the problem cannot be recreated immediately.
Probably not relevant, but the computer on which I'm running iTunes (a Mac Mini) is connected to my TC via ethernet, not wirelessly.
I've tried the suggestion of disabling ipv6. No effect.
I fear the only solution will be to scrap my older Airport Express and replace it with a newer n-model. But before I resign myself to the $100 fix, any more ideas?

  • ITunes - An Error occured while connecting to the remote speaker. (-15000)

    I have been using airportexpress for the last 9 months with no problem. I used to use Windows Vista (32bit) to play itunes music and stream the music to the airportexpress which connects to my living room AV system.
    Couple of days ago, I rebuilt my machine now running Win7 (64bit). Since then, I am not able to stream the audio to the airport express. Whenever I select the remote speakers, wait for about 30 secs and I get this error : An error occurred while connecting to the remote speakers "livingroom". An unknown error occured (-150000).
    Does anyone experience this ? From the same machine, I am able to connect to the airport express using the airport utility. Wireless is working fine. I just not able to stream my music to it.
    Regards

    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".

  • Airplay Connection issues - An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "x". The network connection failed.

    I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and got my Airport Express (802.11g) out of the closet and set up an AirPlay network for my speakers. 
    All worked well for the first while, but recently I've been having an inconsistent problem with this: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “my network name”. The network connection failed."
    Since it came up, more often than not, I can't connect. 
    I can play without issue from my iPhone, and from my iPad. 
    I looked around these forums, and found a couple threads dealing with this from 2011, with no clear resolution to them.  No one with Mountain Lion seems to complain about it, though a few people mused about whether Mountain Lion might fix the problem. 
    I'm running iTunes 10.7(21), and don't recall doing any upgrades to it that might have brought this about, though I can't say for sure. 
    My Airport Express is updated to firmware version 6.3, which I believe is the last one issued for the 'g' Airport Express.
    My wireless network runs off an Airport Extreme 802.11n (Second Generation) with verion 7.6.1 firmware. 
    My Mac has 10.8.2 on it right now. 
    Hopefully some of that info might help sort this out - any replies greatly appreciated!

    One quick update.  A workaround that was mentioned in one post did seem to work - if music is started via the Remote app it seems to connect fine. 
    And I'm not sure if I dare upgrade to iTunes 11 given the firestorm of bad impressions I see, including some that relate to Airplay functions...

  • "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)

    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.

  • Image Ultra Builder 4.0: "An error occurred while connecting to server: Check the server"

    Ladies & gentlemen 
    I am using evaluation version of ImageUltra Builder 4.0 for Windows
    XP. Both server and console have been installed on the same machine.
    When I try to add a new repository, then after pressing the final
    "Finish" button I get the message "An error occurred while
    connecting to server: Check the server". 
    This message appears when the service IUServer runs. 
    I have not found any mention of this error neither in the Internet nor
    in the documentation. Can any one suggest what could have been done wrong?
    Thanks, Ilya Druker

    I've had the same problem when trying to generate a database on an external storage unit. When I create a new repository there are two option:
    1) Location: - This is the location where you want to store the files itself. This server does not have to have a database running on it
    2) Server: - This is the name of the server that actually runs the DB2 database that keeps track of the repositories. This server does not have to be the same as the location where you store the files. This could also be the IP address of the server, not necessarily the name.
    The documentation for this is somewhat confusing, but the above stuff works atleast. I have tried in never versions than 4.0 as well.

  • An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '127.0.0.1:14147'

    HI Experts,
    I have been tried Content Conversion by using the FTP. Under Adapter Monitoring --> Communication Channel monitoring i found this error:
    An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '127.0.0.1:14147'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx:  4     '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.

    Hi
    Pl mention the error correctly, whats the FTP error code? (something like this: 426, 521)
    Could be due to 2 reasons:
    1) insufficient privileges
    2) wrong port

  • Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server: java.lang.NullPointerExc

    Hello Experts,
    I have a scenario wherein i have to send file from FTP to application server of ECC.
    I don't want to do any mapping and transformation; Just need to transfer the file as it is.
    I have achieved this using Integrated scenario.
    But in the sender communication channel i get an error saying "Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "*.*.*.*:*": java.lang.NullPointerException"
    I have checked all my FTP parameters many times and everything is correct.
    Thanks,
    Lalit Mohan Gupta.

    Hi,
    You can check the connect test of FTP in either of the below ways.
    1. Use FTP Dos command (i.e go the run and type ftp..) and from there try to login to the source FTP server by using FTP Commands. If you are able to connect to the same then ask your basis to check the connectivity test from PI server.
    If you are not able to connect check the error you are getting and post the same if you are not able to resolve the same.
    2. There is Program from SAP which need to be deployed into Server and after that you can test the ftp connection by yourselves from PI server. Search in sap support for Connection Test SAP Note..
