"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 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".

What does this mean and what can I do to fix it. An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "master bedroom". An unknown error occurred (-15000).

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

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

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.

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. 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. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

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.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
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.

iTunes wont open for me. it keeps saying "the Disc "untitled playlist" cannot be read. An unknown error occurred (-69)." don't know how to get it to work. Please help

It is likely a hardware failure

Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)" The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

"There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

Hello everyone,
When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
"There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
Important notes:
1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Pedro

Try fixing up the validation issues...

Not promising it will help, but it's worth a shot.
