Error -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations

I have the latest iTunes 8.0.2
The firmware updated to the latest in AirPort Express
PC: Windowds XP, SP2
When I try to stream music to AirPort Express from Itunes I get Error -15000
I have tried everything according to the support pages with no success. In some support pages the solution is only for Mac. How do I solve this problem for PC with Windows XP?

Welcome to the discussions forum divonka.
I realize those documents refer to OS X, but I'd suggest your problem is similar. Try disabling your Windows firewall. If that works, find a way to open UDP port 5353 as explained in this document. Hope it helps!

Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using

There's an article found concerning this error; itunes directly links to it when the error occurs: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278
In the article, the last steps are:
10. Choose the radio button "Set access for specific services and applications."
11. Close the Security window.
What's missing there is to add the itunes application and the airport application to the list shown in step 10. I added both mentioned apps and everything worked fine.
Good luck, folks!

My topic is just a hint how to solve the problem.

Error (-15000) when connecting to Airport Express

Hi I have been using my Airport express to stream from my Itunes for about a year now. I haven't used the setup in a few weeks, but I tried today and now I am getting an error (-15000). I went though the forums and I saw a couple older posts about firewalls or IPV6. I've gone though and disabled my firewalls and shut off the IPv6 and still have the problem. I've also tried power cycling the Airport express. One thing that is odd I can get to the Airport from the configuration tool. So I know I can "see" the Airport on my network. The only major change I can think of since last I used the Airport was I upgraded the version of Itunes on my computer to 9.2.
I am running 10.6.4 on my MBP and the Airport is running 7.4.2.
Has anyone else had issues since upgrading to 9.2?

I had the same problem, intermittent to the point of frustration. I followed the instructions in tech issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 ,
as referred in another post. As soon as I restarted, no error message. I need to add, I have another cpu that did not have the connection problem.
Good Luck!

I can no longer access my Airport Express Base Station. When I plug it in, it keeps flashing orange. I cannot see it in the Airport Utility.

How do I fix this

If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

Streaming from Denon receiver to Airport Express Base Station?

Hello,
i know it's possible to strem music, video, etc. from your apple device to a Denon receiver with airplay, but is it also possible, to stream sound from the Denon receiver to an Airport Express Base Station? I'm about to purchase such a Denon receiver and 2 Airport Express Base Station. To the Airport Express Base Station's i want to connect speakers, the Denon receiver will be connected to the TV and Bluray. So i was wondering, if i could stream the sound from the TV / Bluray, via the Denon receiver to the Airport Express Base Stations. Or is the airplay function of the Denon a one-way road?
Thanks for feedback!

yes.

I have two airport express base stations that I want to configure on two separate sets of speakers in two separate rooms. How do I do this? Airport Utility only seems to scan one express at a time.

I am currently running a PowerPC G5 imac and have a wired broadband modem via ethernet with airport wireless network turned on, on the G5. I have the computer in the bedroom and have an airport express wired into a mixer that connects to my stereo. I have recently bought another airport express base station to connect to a pair of active monitors in the kitchen. When I try to scan these on Airport Utility version 5.42 I am only managing to scan one base unit at a time. I have plugged them in separately and reset them, they both have firmware updates, however the utility will only read one at once. I have read that you can link base stations to the same WDS. I would like to know how to go about doing this if it will only scan one airport express at a time. I have looked it up on the net and not found anything that is a simple fix. Can anyone help? In Apple Support it says that multiple Base Stations can be used. I would like to get both Apple Airport Express units to be able play airtunes separately or at the same time depending where I am in my flat. I do not need different music in each room. I would like to stream music from the computer to multiple rooms in the flat without having to continually unplug and configure the Base Stations. Has anyone come across such a challenge? Any help would be welcome.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

Connecting to multiple Airport Express base stations at the same time?

I want to be able to use wireless internet and stream music to my stereo at the same time, but I only have a single internet connection behind my stereo and it's connected to the Pay TV. My options seem to be getting a new line installed behind the stereo so I can insert this into the same Airport Express base station I use for my music, or buying a second Airport Express base station and connecting it to one of the other internet connections in the room, then connecting to both Airport Express base stations at the same time.
Is this possible? Are there other alternatives?
Many thanks

Nate, Welcome to the discussion area!
Once you have a network, you can connect multiple AirPort Express (AX) to that network (wirelessly or via Ethernet). When your computer joins that network it can access all the AX.
You could take your current internet connection and run it into an inexpensive router with multiple Ethernet ports (not the AX). If this is a wireless router then your AXs could be located elsewhere and connect as wireless clients to that network. Once you computer joined that network it could stream music to the AXs.

Connecting to multiple Airport Express base stations for internet and TV?

I want to be able to use wireless internet and stream music to my stereo at the same time, but I only have a single ethernet connection behind my stereo and it's connected to the Pay TV. My options seem to be an ethernet splitter (maybe - any ideas?), getting a new ethernet connection installed behind the stereo so I can insert this into the same Airport Express base station I use for my music, or buying a second Airport Express base station and connecting it to one of the other internet connections in the room, then connecting to both Airport Express base stations at the same time.

Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A. How to set it up to my new iMac

Community:
How do you set up an
Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A how do you set up on Mac running on OS X 10.9.4?
Please advise
Fmsalazar

Apple did say it was important.
If the units do not show up in the airport utility then you must set it correctly to link-local.
Steps for OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
Apple rep says the same.
Re: Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1
I am searching as I saw it in a thread today where a person had issues. (No contribution from me in the thread but found that was the issue).
It is kind of a fail safe.. since auto can end up with any setting.. and it will depend on the setting of ipv6 in the Airport Router if it works properly in the computer.. setting it to the correct value is one step in sorting out problems when people get in a mess.

Anybody use an Apple AirPort Express Base Station (windows)

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB...mco=MTIxODk3Mw
Im thinking about getting one of these and just wanting people opinions on it working with windows.
Just im a little confused, can i use it as a wireless router insted of my net gear, or will i still have to use my net gear router. My internet comes from the telephone wire if that helps?
Many thanks James

Hello jshrubb. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since you didn't include the model of your Netgear router, it will be a little hard to determine if the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) could replace all of its functions.
So, here's what the AirPort Express is, and is not to help you decide:
o The AX is an Internet wireless router.
o The AX does not have a built-in modem: DSL, ADSL, Satellite or cable ... so one of these will still be required.
o The AX does not have a built-in Ethernet switch. It does have an Ethernet port, but that ports primary function is to be connected to the modem. However, it could be used to connect a wired client, but only if the AX is reconfigured as either a remote or relay base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). The bottom-line here is that if you need to support wired clients, the AX would not be the appropriate choice for your network.
o The AX does support iTunes audio streaming so that when connected to either a pair of powered speakers or an audio system, you can stream iTunes to speakers wirelessly.

Apple Airport Express Base Station 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port with AirT

Hello fellow mac users, I am currently interested in getting the Apple Airport Express Base Station 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port with AirTunes. However I already have a Linksys Wireless G with SpeedBooster router. Will the Airport Express with iTunes work with my router? Or will it work with any router? Thanks!
P.S. I want to get the Apple Airport Express Base Station 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port with AirTunes
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, it should be possible. Since your iMac is connected via Ethernet to another router, you would have to reconfigure which Network Service you will be using on the iMac to switch between streaming and connecting to the Internet.
For example, I am assuming that the Built-in Ethernet service is currently at the top of the Port Configurations 0list within System Preferences > Network > Show = Network Port Configurations when your iMac is connected to the other router by Ethernet. You would then need to drag the AirPort item to the top of the list, and then, connect to the AirPort Express to stream.
The other option to avoid this is to configure the AirPort Express to join the wireless network created by the 2Wire router.

Hey, I have a AirPort Express Base Station ( 2nd Generation ), and I wanted to ask that if I join my network at home with the Express Station, will it still run the 2.5 GHz and the 5.0 GHz?

Okay, well I have just bought a AirPort Express Base Station ( 2nd Generation ) and I'm new to it, but I wanted to ask that if it join's a network you have setup at home, will it still run with the 2.4 GHz and the 5.0 GHz.

The AirPort Express will "extend" both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks and provide more wireless signal coverage when it is connected to another Apple AirPort router and configured correctly.
The AirPort Express cannot provide more wireless coverage though, if you are trying to connect it to another 3rd party wireless router using wireless only.
It should be possible to set up the Express to provide more signal coverage if you connect it back to the main router using a wired Ethernet connection or using Ethernet powerline adapters.

Airport Express Base Station no longer detectable by my computer

Ever since I went wireless last year, I have had a love-hate relationship with my Airport Express Base Station. It seems to take forever and a day to configure the sucker, then, somehow I do and it works well for several months - until something happens to muck up the works. That thing seems to have happened this morning when Earthlink's DSL connection got wonky (it was a glitch that apparently covered a large part of the country). That glitch apparently worked itself out, but after I put my MacBook to sleep in order to get lunch, suddenly my PPPoE host went missing when I woke the machine up. Further examination indicated that, although my wireless network was still there, the MacBook could no longer find my Base Station, even though the light was still working. Resetting the Base Station does not help. I am at my wit's end here. I can work via Ethernet DSL line, but I have become used to wireless, and without a viable network, my Mac mini can't connect to the Internet. Help!

Could you post what you did in order to resolve the issue. I'm having a problem with the base station in that I cannot connect to the internet with my laptops (a mac and pc) while I can connect wirelessly to my network with my desktop (G4). The base station is not detected in the base statin admin utility or the aiport setup utility. If anyone else has a solution I would be much obliged to read it.
Thanks!

Can't read airport express base station configuration wirelessly

The setup:
2TB time capsule that takes the ethernet feed from the cable modem for internet access.
Airport express 802.11g plugged into speakers for Airtunes. No ethernet connection, just a wireless network.
The problem:
I can only read the airport express base station configuration when the mac is plugged into the time capsule by ethernet cable. This does not happen with the other mac I have on the network. It can connect to both the time capsule and the airport express without any problems. So unless I'm plugged in, iTunes and airtunes doesn't connect to the base station, and neither can Airfoil 3.5 or Airport Utility. Airport Utility does see the airport express. It just doesn't read the configuration wirelessly.
I think this had something to do with elgato eyetv not liking airfoil, but I can't say for sure.
Any thoughts?

When I switch it on all three lights flash, but then after a while the middle one stays on and nothing happens.
You posted in the AirPort Express area, but it sounds like you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)--correct?
If so, let's start by performing a complete power recycling of your network components to make sure that the BT Voyager router "recognizes" the AEBS.
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Airport Utility can no longer see my Airport Express Base Station.

Hi all the problem I have is as follows;
I've set up my Airport Express Base Station some time ago to print wirelessly from my HP Photosmart C4280 and it was working fine.
However recently when I've gone to print a document, even though the printer is working fine and the Airport Express Base Station is showing a green light nothing happens. I've gone into the Airport Utility and its say's it can't see the Airport Express Base Station (even though it still has a green light showing). If I unplug the Airport Express and plug it in again, the Airport Utility can suddenly see it again.
I've successfully gone through the reset process but after a few minutes the Airport Utility can no longer see the Airport Express Base Station which means I can't print a document wirelessly. I've repeated the reset process several times with the same outcome.
Everything was working fine up until recently, has the Airport Express Base Station developed a fault? or is there something I'm not doing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'
