Error -3256 attempting to use multiple Speakers

I have the option for multiple speakers and I have updated my airport express firmware on both AX's. However when attempting multiple speakers I get an error -3256 for each AX. Both AX's work fine individually. I am on 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.1 Anybody with ideas?

I followed these instructions and now it works.

Get -3256 error when trying to use "multiple speakers" in iTunes

I have had a LOT of Airport problems since switching to Leopard. For the moment, the Airport does seem to now work. I use an Airport Extreme 802.11n, and an Airport Express using WDS. I had a TON of problems with my MBP connecting, running great, then slowly losing bandwidth. For the moment, all is working. The next hassle was that my formerly working WDS stopped working. Now, the base station says WDS is happy. iTunes show the Airport Express is available to broadcast to.
It lets me select multiple speakers, but then gives and error -3256.

I think that I just solved your multiple speaker issue in another post; check out: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5765343&#5765343. Hope this solution works for you too.

Sound Drop Out When Attempting to Use Multiple Speakers

Disclaimer: I've spent 3-4 hours searching for the answer, so - I'm posting another "Sound Drop Out" thread.. sorry!
I have 1 new AirPort Extreme, and 3 Expresses. I can stream music to one at a time without much problem. As soon as I try to go to more than 1 the sound gets very, very choppy (this includes 1 airport express and the computer speakers).
My iTunes library is on a USB airport disk shared from the Extreme.
I see many posts about not being able to connect to multiple speakers with Leopard 10.5.1 (which I am using) - but I am not getting the error messages those people are seeing. Also, my firewall is configured correctly.
My network is well within 150ft. The extreme is creating a network, and all the expresses are configured to join the network. I thought of setting up a WDS network, but would this be worth the trouble (I am having problems getting it configured correctly)?
I doubt signal strength is a problem. If I can stream to the express alone, why cant I play to the express and the computer speakers simultaneously? That wouldn't have anything to do with the wireless network signal strength?
Looking forward to your suggestions. I'm spending way too much time getting this to work. Apple is supposed to "just work" -right? LOL.

I think this has to do with the airport scanning for different networks. I have 2 airport express stations hooked up in different rooms, and the speakers drop out all the time. It *****.
But when I watch the airport on my laptop (streaming the music), the time counter next to the airport icon goes away momentarily. I think it's somehow disconnected from the network, or is scanning networks.
There are a number of posts regarding the airport constantly scanning networks, but I haven't found anything yet that helps keep the airport connected. It definitely seems to be worse in the evenings when a lot of people are using their computers.
When your speakers drop out, do the numbers next to the airport icon (on the serving computer) freeze or disappear?

New Version Of iTunes Wont let me use "multiple speakers" thru airtunes...

The New Version Of iTunes Wont let me use "multiple speakers" thru airtunes with airport express.
I have used airport express to play music while simultaneously playing it thru my computer speakers, but the new version of iTunes wont let me select "Multiple Speakers" from the menu at the bottom of the window

There doesn't seem to be a link to this firmware update, can you repost it? I'm having the same problem.
Thanks

About iPad iOS 4.2 beta Airplay can't use multiple speakers?

About iPad airplay can't use multiple speakers?
My iPad use the latest ios4.2 beta1 ,there is 3 airport express in my house.
In iOS 3.2 I can use the App "Remote" to control 3 speakers perfectly,but "Remote" even can install in ios4.2 ,not use smoothly.
After I upgrade iOS to 4.2, I can use Airplay to control each speaker without "Remote",but can't use multiple speakers at the same time. Is anyone like me?
Is there have any other solution can fix this problem?
Thanks!

I completely agree with Tamara, if you are running iOS 4.2, then you should also realize that there are two aveanues for you to get questions answered
1) the developer forums (there is a specific forum area for 4.2 questions, marked in a big red banner across the top saying something about confidentiality.)
2) The bug reporting tool available to developers, noted at the top of the iOS 4.2 forum page. When you go there read the format intructions linked to at the top of the form to ensure you put it in the format that is required for formal developer bug reports.

Using multiple speakers with AirPlay on iPad

On my Mac I can play music from iTunes on my computer, Apple TV and on my Airport Express. But on the iPad I can only pick one, is there anyway i can choose multiple speakers on the iPad?

HOUSE PARTY SUCCESS!!!
I have an ATV3 in the living room, one in the bedroom, and one in the garage (for streaming music out there too...). To get the whole compound in sync and have the same music everywhere AND control it from my iPhone, it was / is this easy:
In iTunes, select multiple airplay devices so everywhere you want the music playing is selected. Use the Apple Remote app on your iPhone / iPad and control your iTunes, NOT your ATV. Bada-bing! Full house party music to all the devices and controlled by the phone in your pocket!!!
They should still let you do this from any iOS device directly though...
Enjoy!

Error message: "Attempt to use a non-final variable..."

I get the following error message
"....java:771: Attempt to use a non-final variable rightColumn from a different method. From enclosing blocks, only final local variables are available.
          switchToOrderform4( backArrow_J, fwdArrow_J, rightColumn, c, jobticketEnclosure ); // ------- the problem line"
          ^
The variable is "rightColumn."
I instantiate it in one class, "Class1."
Pass it as a parameter to second class, "Class2."
Pass it as a parameter to a third class, "Class3."
Pass it as a parameter to a method, "method1( ... )."
-- Declared & instantiated here, passed as a parameter to
class Class1 extends JPanel {

--Passed as a method paramter, causing the compiler error (line 771):

Line 771:           method1( backArrow_J, fwdArrow_J, rightColumn, c, jobticketEnclosure ); // ------- the problem line
Declaring the variables final does not help. How do I fix this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hmm that's a puzzler. I would love to see a complete (but minimal) example of this.
You might get more insight by using a different compiler, since you'd get a different version of the error message. Some compilers are more lucid than others.

Avoid error in WebI by using multiple connections

Hello experts,
is there a way to avoid or ignore a error by executing a WebI-Report based on Universes?
What I am doing is the following:
I have a report that uses multiple Universes (more than 10) based on different connections to different systems (working fine, believe me). From time to time it can be, that one of the connections (relational) ejects an error due to reaching problems (for example network or server). As result, the entire report doen't work with a single faulty connection. Is there a way to exclude single universes by causing a failure on running? So that is possible to run all universes in respective, without the faulty one in the end?
Greets
Sven

Hi ,
If you are trying to refresh it manually then you can possibly run one universe after the other instead of running all at once.
Just press on the drop down as shown below in the refresh symbol and refresh one by one leaving out the faulty universe. You have to make sure you disable the refresh on open.
Thanks,
Tanveer.

My ipod classic 5th generation is not playing any kind of audio. i tried resetting it and i used multiple speakers/ear buds. nothing worked. do you have any other suggestions?

My ipod classic (5th generation) is not playing any audio. when i play a song the little picture of the album cover comes up and the seconds clock and the blue line come up and change/move, but there is no sound. i have tried multiple speakers/ear buds and i have tried to reset it but notheing worked.
What should i do?

Assuming that you actually have the volume turned up (you don't say that you have, after all), make sure that the Volume Limit is not turned all the way down.
Look in the Settings/Volume Limit menu. The small arrow controls the volume as well.

Run Time Error when attempting to use pse 10 editor

While using the editor in PSE 10, it suddenly stopped working, giving me a "run time error" message. I have created a new user account, created restore points on my PC, attempted to change the preference files, all to no avail. The software came installed on my PC, so I'm unable to do an uninstall and reinstall as I don't have the installation CD. The PC manufacturer and Adobe support have been unable to help (neither providing me with a product key). Can someone help me fix the "run time error"? Until it's fixed, the product is unusable.

Can you share the exact error message or probably a screenshot which might help us reviewing it and suggest you any solution.
Thanks,
Garry

Error while attempting to use WebLogic with EDS

Hello,Previously, I have installed EDS and used the default TomCat (which I would prefer was not automatically installed).Now I want to stop using TomCat and start using WebLogic 8.x . I've gone through the docuemented steps to create the application in WebLogic, but when I attempt to access the URL for WebLogic, I recieve the following Java error:javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot initialize essbase deployment server framework. at com.essbase.server.plugins.http.EssbaseEnterprise.init(Unknown Source)I realize this is a generic error, but is there any documentation on this?

I encountered the similar error before.I replaced Tomcat with WebSphere and DB2 with MySql.After I installed the EDS according to the EDS install guide file and started it,there were a lot of error happened.I don't know whether the cause of your error is same as mine.But I can tell you that there are some errors and missings in the EDS install guide pdf file.You should get help from the WebLogic expert if you really don't familiar with WebLogic

Airport Express choppy when using multiple speakers

Had a big New Year's party. I setup my recent Mac mini in one room wired directly to a stereo, and my Airport Express (latest model that looks like a white Apple TV) in another room connected to another stereo. I use the Airport Express a lot and it works flawlessly when streaming from iPhone / iPad / iTunes on the Mac.
Everything is running the latest versions (iTunes 11.1.3 (8), Mavericks 10.9, newest firmware on Airport). My network uses an Airport Extreme 802.11n (flat model, not later tower model).
So... I wanted music to play in both rooms, something that I've done at previous parties with no issue - but the music would cut in and out from the Airport Express! Disappointing to say the least.
I troubleshooted all I could:
- Setup the Airport Express from Extend Wireless Network to Connect to Wireless Network
- Tried 2.4 GHz and 5.4 GHz networks
- Ensure CPU usage on Mac was low, and no other programs running
- Restart it all (Airport Extreme, Airport Express, Mac)
- Etc.
All signal strenghts were fine. Whenever I streamed from iPhone directly to Airport Express it was perfect. Only from iTunes to both speakers did I have issues.
Anyone seen this? This has worked perfectly for me before!

This is known to happen:

Try a different broadcast channel on the wireless router.

Hello,
I too am an Ashford University student, and I have received the same error. However, I have found a couple workarounds that allow me to do pretty much everything except view my degree progress (for that I use Chrome on my iMac).
****CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF DATA****
First, back up your iPad in iTunes (if you do not know how to do this, then do not proceed until you do). Second, quit Safari (double-tap the home button so that the multi-task bar appears at the bottom of the screen, then swipe until you see Safari, then press and hold the Safari icon until the 'X' appears, finally press the 'X' to quit the App) Third, make sure Safari is configured as follows:
Settings > Safari >
Java Script "ENABLED"
Block Popups "OFF"
Accept Cookies "ALWAYS"
Reset Safari:
Settings > Safari >
Clear History
Clear Cookies
Clear Cache
Restart your iPad by holding the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears (immediately let go of both buttons or else you will put your iPad into recovery mode). Accessing the Ashford Student portal should now work.

I received the following error when attempting to use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to manage my passwords; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program. How can I correct this?

I use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to control my passwords. Everything was fine until I updated to Firefox 4. Can I remove version 4 or is there a solution to my problem. I received the following error message; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program.

You'll have to downgrade to the previous secure version I regret to say. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.
