Error when connecting to remote speakers on intunes.

Everything is showing up on laptop but when I try to connect to remote speakers it says error. I also on my main computer where all my iTunes are located I cannot find the remote speaker symbol on the bottom of the screen. I am so close to getting this to work it is driving me crazy!! Any help would be appreciated.

Would you please describe in a bit more detail what your current networking configuration is? That is include the make & mode of each of the network devices (routers, modems, etc.) Also, please describe the general location of each, including the laptop (where you typically use it) and the "main" computer in relation to the AirPort Express? For example, are they all in the same room, in different rooms, on different floors?

ITunes error when connecting to remote speakers

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes, 8.0.1. I am now unable to connect to my remote speakers via the Airport Express base station and get an error message each attempt.
The error reads, "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speakers. An unknown error occurred (-3256)."
I've power cycled the base station, checked all the wires, and secretly hoped Apple would release an update that fixes the issue. So far nothing.
Anyone know how to fix this? I'm stumped.
thanks...

I have the same problem since downloading the update. I'm running 3 Airport Express base stations around the house, all connected to different speaker systems. What's really weird is that one works no problem and the other two give me this -3256 error message when I try to connect. I've done all the usual resets but to no avail. I'd hoped that the latest update may have solved this problem.
Sorry that I can't offer a fix, but if you have any luck I'd be grateful to hear.

ITunes timeouts when connecting to remote speakers?

When trying to connect to a remote set of speakers (Airport Express/Airtunes), iTunes times out. The set of speakers shows in the menu, iTunes attempts to connect for some time, and then "gives up" - there is no error message. Any suggestions?
iTunes 7.0.2, Airport Express firmware 6.3.
Thanks.

At times, instead of the time out, I get the following error message:
The remote speaker "Test" is not compatible with this version of iTunes
This happens even though iTunes and the Airport Express are up to the latest versions, respectively.
Thanks.

How to fix the -15006 error when playing to remote speakers.

A quick fix that worked for me was to click the wifi symbol in the system bar (top right of computer). I turned the airport off – waited a second, then turned it back on. Having iTunes off during this process seems to help as well.

Thanks bitwise.
AirTunes works by first "finding," and then, establishing a secured communications link between the iTunes host and the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or Apple TV. Once this link has been established, it can then start the streaming process. Also periodically through the streaming, AirTunes checks to see if the link is still valid.
Most likely, something occurred to break this link, and thus the error message. By using the AirPort icon, you basically "forced" a break between the iTunes host and the AX. This provided AirTunes with an opportunity to re-establish the link, and then, to continue on with the streaming.

ITunes Error -3256 can't connect to remote speakers

iTunes is behaving erratically. I get a -3256 error when the app tries to connect to remote speakers via an AirPort Express.
Restarting iTunes allows me to connect. iTunes then works until my computer goes to sleep. When I wake the computer it hangs with the -3256 error again. Restart iTunes and it negotiates the network connection perfectly.
I ran AirTunes with no problem for years until version 8 of iTunes was released.
I'm running iTunes 8.0.2

I'm having the same problem with my macbook pro (OS 10.5.6, iTunes 8.0.2) but NOT with my imac flatpanel 15". I get "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "Stereo". An unknown error occurred (-3256)." Restarting iTunes does NOT work for me.
My airport is administered by the older imac flatpanel. My girlfriend's computer - an older macbook pro - does NOT have this problem. Has anyone gotten an answer yet on this?
Is this a known bug since so many of us seem to be seeing it?

Itunes 9 won't connect to remote speakers when firewall on?

Hello all
Got an annoying problem streaming to Airport Express. Hopefully somebody has come accross this or has a suggestion on how to resolve it.
When Itunes 9 tries to connect to remote speakers linked to AE it give an error message of something like "error connecting to remove speakers ASDFDSFLDSF. unknown error(-15000)". I have noticed that when I turn my firewall (ZoneLabs) off everything is fine. I have put Itunes on the program list of trusted programs but this doesn't help matters.
Airport express is about 1 month old and has all recent updated.
Anyone got any idea what I should be doing?
Thanks in advance,Andrew

When Itunes 9 tries to connect to remote speakers linked to AE it give an error message of something like "error connecting to remove speakers ASDFDSFLDSF. unknown error(-15000)".
With any luck, the following troubleshooting document may be of some help with that:
[Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278]
EDIT: drat ... sorry, that one's for the Mac ... okay, will look a bit further to try to track down the relevant Windows firewall settings. At any rate, if you're behind on your Firmware versions, it would still be worth checking on that.

Error message (-3256) appears when connecting to remote speaker

ITunes 8: I can no longer connect to remote speakers via Airport Express

Cannot connect to my remote speakers, worked before iTunes 8"
I have restarted the computer, iTunes, QT 7.5.5, run disk utility
I get the following error code (-3256) Apple KB research says:
AirTunes: Error -3256 when streaming to multiple AirPort Express units  You may see this message: An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker speaker_name . An unknown error occurred (- 3256 ).This occurs with iTunes 6.0.2 or later.SolutionIf you use a third-party firewall or router, make sure that it is configured to permit UDP traffic. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303157
I followed the KB link, tried KB solution, then I sent this off to Apple.
"Mac G5 2.0 Ghz, OS 10.5.4 just installed iTunes 8, one (1) Airport Express connected to remote speakers. Firewall under Sharing in System preferences does not offer firewall access. Firewall is under Security but "Advanced" is grayed out.
Cannot connect to my remote speakers, worked before iTunes 8"
I have restarted the computer, iTunes, QT 7.5.5, run disk utility, unplugged the airport express.
My G4 PowerBook running an earlier version of iTunes connects without problem.

I just got off a 30+ minute phone call with an Apple Support rep about this. I'm getting error -3256. The rep was patient and tried hard to solve the problem, but was basically clueless. I have a case number and was encouraged to call back tomorrow to speak with a product support specialist.
This stinks. AirTunes is my primary way of playing music from my computer. With no obvious way of rolling back to iTunes 7, this is a big deal.

ITunes cannot connect to remote speakers / Airport Express

Hi Guys
This is a quick post with a problem & solution.
I've been searching for ages tonight to find a solution to my problem:
'iTunes suddenly cannot connect to my Airport Express Speakers" and could not find one answer on here, only a mixture of replies all over the net.
So, just incase some people are still looking for an answer:
What I did...
1. Go to System Preferences, Network.
2. Click Advanced, on the TCP/IP tab, set "Configure IPv6" to Off.
Open up Airport Utility, go to the Music tab, set a password (I did this just for the sake of seeing whether iTunes noticed that the Airport was now password protected, then atleast you know it's talking!)
3. Open iTunes, go to preferences.
4. Click on the devices tab, untick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
5. Close iTunes
6. Open iTunes, retick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
7. Connect to remote speakers worked!

thanks Simius,
I just tried what you said to do, i had it in Automatic, but when I momenterely switched to manual the fields were all blank so I left them that way and turned on to automatic as you said and left it in auto, then tried to change itunes speaker to remote airplay and it didn t work.
so i don t know what else to do, I read alot about this in the last few days the bug seems to be related to the newest itunes upgrade and with the presence of the IP6V not turned off completely.
in the old system one could turn it off completely, now the off button is gone.
there are work around using terminal, I tried that but it doens t recognize my commands, so it didn t work either.
anybody has any idea?
thansk a lot

Upgrade to iTunes 7.2 broke connection with remote speakers

There have been a few discussions about the inability of iTunes to connect to remote speakers in the past, and I found one that was answered regarding an upgrade to 7.0 back in September 2006 - b noir recommended the help article posted on his page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304371
My issue is the same as the one posted in Sept. 2006, but it only started when I downloaded the upgrade to iTunes 7.2. I see the remote speakers greyed out in my iTunes speaker list but can't select them. The fix in the help article above of configuring IPv6 doesn't help. Has anyone else run into this/have any suggestions for me? My wireless network consists of 2 Airport Expresses; the extension is the one hooked up to my speakers.
Many, many thanks!

I'm experiencing something similar where my remote speakers are working well from my Macs (wired) and Windows Vista laptop (wireless) but do not show up at all from my Windows XP desktop (wired).
I do have Symantec Personal Firewall running, but I have (1) trusted my local internal network, (2) explicitly opened ports 3689 and 5353 and (3) tried it with the firewall disabled with no luck. I do not have Windows Firewall running, and I don't believe I have anything else that would be limiting network traffic. I do not have Bonjour or Rendevous services running. I can ping the AEs just fine (I have 3 AEs), and I am on the same subnet. I have selected LOOK FOR REMOTE SPEAKERS in the iTunes settings, and I am running the latest version of iTunes (7.2). I have also not tried downgraded to an earlier version of iTunes, but for now I'd rather get this fixed in another fashion as 7.2 works well from my other machines.
I hope the above description (with fixes recommended by other users in other threads) is helpful. I appreciate any input or feedback people may have.

HT4587 I can't locate airport express icon in itunes to connect my remote speakers wirelessly, can anyone help please?

Can anyone help please? I am trying to connect my remote speakers to my i-tunes library using Airport Express. Everything is connected and working using mt OS device (Ipod Touch 5th Generation) that works fine. I have tuned on home sharing and it says in itunes preferences that I am paired but according to the light on the airport express base station I am not connected to my existing wi-fi network. I cannot find the itune airplay icon anywhere in itunes nor can I find the network link by hovering my pointer of the network connections as suggested in the instructions that came with airport express. Would apprecaite some help please you can give. - thank you.

hmmmmm.
i'm not trying to get rid of you here, but it might be worth also checking-in/reposting over at the Airport for Windows forum. when Airtunes things get sticky, i generally defer to iFelix or RJ in WI, and they spend a lot more time over there than they do here.
(traffic is so heavy in here at the moment that this thread might be buried out of sight before an AirTunes guru gets to see you.)
here's a link through to the Airport for Windows forum:

Error when connecting to terminal

Hello,
I have a BB 8100, Desktop manager 4.6.
Synchronization was working correctly 3-4 weeks ago.
Today, when I tried to synchronize, I had this error message:
0 x 80040fb3
I tried to debug this with the procedure of modifying Last name, first name, etc.... with no success
I tried several time to synchronize again but without success.
Now, the situation is even worse!
New message when I connect my BB to my computer. When I launch Desktop manager, I have the following error:
"Error when connecting to terminal. Make sure that your terminal is correctly connected, then try again"
I can not anymore try to synchronize!
This is very strange, it never happened before.
Nevertheless, Desktop Manager recognize my BB, as I can read on the buttom left part of the screen: Terminal connected (code Pin) recognized xxxxxx.
HELLLLP!
Thanks

Hello RianaZaire,
Unfortunately, I still have the same error Message.
I have not been able to solve the situation.
I reinstall twice the software.
I tried to connect my Blackberry to my computer with a new cable.
I still have the same error message.
I don't know what to do.
Maybe somebody will read our messages, and help us!
Maybe this information has a link with my blackberry problem:
I also have a problem with an another device. (a TOMTOM GPS system), which happened almost at the same time.
Usually, when I connect this device, it will directly open the GPS sofware ( where I can download the new updating stuff). But since this Blackberry problem, I can not do it anymore. Impossible to connect the TOMTOM onto it. It is not recognize onto my computer.
For information, I also do synchronization of my adress book between my phone and TOMTOM.
