Airport and Airplay on PC

The airplay Icon on my PC goes on and off... I have an airport express. Is there something to do ?
When I try to make an update on my PC, it says that the windows version is to old... but it uses to work... and it works great with my Ipod.
I have an error message that says -42110 ?

Hi gilbertpa,
If the AirPlay icon is only appearing intermittantly, you may find the following article useful:
Apple Support: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
With regards to the error message you are seeing (-42110), there is a refererence to it in this article, under "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows):" > "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103":
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

This alert is related to iTunes Store movie rentals and authorization issues.
Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

ITunes 11 + ML + Airport Ex. Airplay problem

ITunes 11 with ML does not work with Airport Ex. The previous version (iTunes 10.x) was OK on ML. After the upgrade iTunes detects the Airplay device but does not play. The error is the good old verbose message 'Unknow error occured (-15000)'. Console log: AVSystemController stopping Airplay and no any firewall or other system log. Tried to switch off the firewall, restart the machine and reset the express. No luck. Snow Leopard with older iTunes works with the same express on the same network. How can I downgrade iTunes11 to the 10.x version?

Okay, I have all four units (2 Airport Express Base Stations & 2 Apple TVs) working now and for what it's worth the iPhone Remote app is working better two. This last Airport Express took 3 hard resets and then some futzing with the Aiport Utility (at one point, the Airport Utility mixed up the names and statuses of the two units). I rebooted the Mac several times, had iTunes hang twice, etc. Whatever reports back to Apple is enabled on all my devices, so hopefully they get a dump of something useful. The Apple TVs are on ethernet via PowerLink adapters and the 2 Airport Express units are using wi-fi. I'll try them on their ethernet adapters tomorrow. I've burned up enough time on this crap today. And to repeat, everything was working fine until I updated to iTunes 11. Wow! Guess I'll do a better job of looking at possible problems before I update anything again. It's kind of a fragile system anyway, and then this just brought it to its knees. If I had one single standalone Mac, it wouldn't have been too big a deal (except for the dramatic UI change). But something tells me that homework didn't get done on testing for Apple TV and Airport Express units.

Airport and network problems after recent update

I want to know if someone is aware of what went wrong with the latest OS updates, all my computers forget my local wireless connection and sometimes I'm connected to my co-workers unprotected red. Airport just won't do its job.
This issue is really frustrating since several applications like Flash for example give you and error when saving a file after reconnecting to your network after a network loss.
If someone knows how to work this around to stop this annoying behavior please advise, I'm sure I am not the only one experiencing this.
Regards

Dear Eyewake,
I have had the same problem recently, after QuickTime 7.1.1 upgrade. The only way I can now get wireless access is to leave the network unprotected at factory settings. At least one other person posting to this discussion list has this problem in the last week, but no replies.
Do you know where else we can try to get help?

Airport and Airplay Cutting Out

I have an Airport Extreme as the main router for my network and an Airport Express in another room used to play iTunes from my MacBook or iPhone5 through my home stereo using AirPlay
Playback from both the MacBook and iPhone5 cut out all the time. This happens even when they are only a few inches from the Express. I've tried shutting down all apps, turning off blue-tooth, turning off the MacBook and anthing else that I thought might be competing with the signal.
Any help would be appreciated.

Should I plug in another Airport Express next to the ATV2, and will that strengthen the wireless signal from the first Express
If you add an AirPort in the family room, it will not "extend" or strengthen the wireless signal from the Express in the middle of the house, so no real reason to consider this if you are trying to use wireless only.
Rather than locate the current Express mid way between the Time Capsule and family room (which would normally be a good location), you might experiment a bit at 2/3 or 3/4 the distance to see if that helps.
Apple's "extend" setup works like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your Time Capsule is the "hub" and each Express resides at the end of a "spoke". You can have multiple Express devices on the network, but each one communicates directly to the "hub", not to another Express at the end of another "spoke".
The best solution....in terms of performance....would be to run an Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to the family room and configure another AirPort at that location to "Create a wireless network".
If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet power line adapters might be able to send an encoded Ethernet signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. But power line products are a bit unpredictable, so you would want to make sure that you understand the store's return policy if you want to try the adapters.

Help me! Airport and Applescript problem

Hi all!
I'm here for a very silly question. I need to activate a "computer-to-computer" airport connection
automatically.
I thought Applescript could help me.
The thing to do is to click OK in the dialog box that appears when you click "create network"
Here what I've done:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item 1
click
tell menu 1
click menu item 7
tell window "Computer-to-Computer"
click button 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
The Dialog Window appears but Applescript return an error:
NSreceiverEvaluationScriptError:4
What I can do?
Please helpme to solve this small script!
Many thankks in advance and all the best
Paul

The "Computer-to-Computer" window isn't a part of the menu, so you need to take that statement out of the "tell menu bar" statement:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "System Events" to tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
repeat with the_menu from 1 to the count of menu_extras
if item the_menu of menu_extras is "Airport Menu Extra" then exit repeat
end repeat
tell menu bar item the_menu
click
delay 0.5
click menu item "Create Network…" of front menu
delay 0.5
end tell
end tell
click button "OK" of window "Computer-to-Computer"
end tell
</pre>
Note that the menu extra can change location and the number of items in it can vary.

Apple TV and AirPlay Problems After Upgrade

hello
after upgrading my Apple TV 2 to version 5.0 the AirPlay icon disappeared from my iPad which is running iOS 5.1
I spent about 2 hours with Apple support but nothing they could think of helped and they gave up
I love my Apple TV but am wishing I never upgraded now!
many thanks for any help

The upgrade took that feature on my iphone4 but is still there on my ipad2

AOL causing problems with Airport and Mail

It's another reason to get rid of AOL, but my wife is still hooked... when her AOL is running on the iMac G5 connected to the DSL modem, other computers can't access the Internet over the Airport from this G5 (and for some reason, Mac Mail won't send e-mail). When AOL isn't running, the Airport and Mail problems are gone. (It took a while to figure out this was the problem!)
Does this problem have its root in the arcane world of sockets and ports? Or is there some AOL preference I can change to make it play nice with others?

I think it is simply how AOL works. If you log into AOL it only wants that one connection working.
The only router I know of that works with AOL is the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). I suggest that you get an AEBS and use that to share the connection instead of your iMac G5.

Problems with Airport Express & Airplay

Hi Guys, I'm having a lot of problems using my Airport Express as a bridge, and Airplay.
I have a wireless network set up with various repeaters through our (large) house, and wanted to set the Airport Express to extend the wireless range into the kitchen, and to work as an Airplay port for the stereo which is next door.
The main network is a cable modem into a wireless router, which is then repeated with 85M PLC Adapters throughout the house.
Had alot of trouble setting up the express unit - have re-set it to default settings numerous times. Managed to get it set up to repeat the signal and act as an airplay once, but the performance was very poor - i.e. sound dropping out, losing connection. It also wouldn't connect using iphone or ipod, again even when it had 4 bars wi fi reception.
I then tried setting it up purely to join the existing network, not to repeat it. and act as an airplay port; and it connected, said it worked, but then I couldn't play any music through it, and it went back to flashing orange.
The Airport Express is in the same room where I'm typing this and has 5 bars of wi-fi signal strength.
I've tried the few things I know - anyone got any bright ideas?
Makro

Network
Plug the AE next to the PLC and connect it to the Ethernet port of the PLC. Configure the AE to operate in bridge mode. If your PLC doesn't offer an Ethernet port, use one like the Netgear XAVN2001. If it's already taken, you will need a 4 port switch. You will also need a long 3.5mm audio cable if the amp is not in the proximity of the PLC, available from Amazon for under $5. Finally, create a separate wireless network on the AE.
Client
Connect the client to the AE's wireless network, not your existing network. The client in this case is an iPxd or other computer with iTunes or Airplay/similar PC.
The above basic configuration works flawlessly in my experience. If the Client is to distant from the AE's wireless, you can, as a second step, connect it to your existing network, but be forewarned that in this scenario dropouts abound and the AE frequently disappears from view.

Airport problems after 8/12 airport and security update

My MacBook Pro which had been working flawlessly since I got it last year received the airport and security updates distributed today. After the reboot my airport turns itself off after a few minutes and will not come back on and the computer seems to be running hotter than usual. Booting from a recent clone of the drive without the updates did not fix the problem and the card turned itself off a few minutes after the reboot and will not come back on.
Anyone having similar problems after the update?

Does your problem occur only when unplugged. If so, then maybe this update is for you: http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro. Check it out, but use your own judgment in installing; not much info is provided.

When I try to open Safari, I get NCSW21 and that server can't be found. This happens everytime. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Only with the Safari page. Can anybody help.

Can't open Safari. I get "Can't find server". I get NCSW21 in my address bar. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Need help. Thanks

Hi Professor66,
I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
     - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
     - Set location to Automatic
     - Click Apply
     - Click Advanced
     - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
     - Click Apply
     - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
     - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
     - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
Turn off your computer
     - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
     - turn on computer
     - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
     - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
     - this resets your PRAM
Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
     - click Choose a Network
     - Select your network and enter password
Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

     No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
     I called Apple Support and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
Cheers.

Extreme problems with airport and harddrive no pun intended. please help.

okay experts, please help. i have a lacie brick 500gb external drive that i got yesterday. i attatched it to the airport and the drive showed up on the desktop fine and dandy. the problem was that no backup software would recognize that a hard drive was attatched. i was given some advice to format the hard disk for apple using disk utility. i did that and it finished formatting this morning. (i had to do all this by plugging the hard drive in directly to the computer's usb port, it wouldn't let me do it attatched to the airport) now the dilemma is that when i attatch it to the airport, the disk no longer even shows up on the desktop, or anywhere else. wen i go to airport utility, manual setup and disks, it shows the hard drive there, but nowhere else. i know it isn't a problem with the hard drive because when plugged in directly to the computer, everything works fine. can someone please give me a run through of the settings i need to have set? i'm quite sure it is correct. i am just frustrated beyond belief getting this hard drive to work via the airport. thank you very much guys and gals.
wait....update
okay. finally, it is on the desktop, but not how it should be. superduper or the lacie backup system still doesn't recognize it as a disk. when i plug in the h.d. to the computer usb port it shows up as an orange icon on the desktop and is recognized by the software. but when i plug it in via the airport it shows up on the desktop as a different icon, like a box and isn't recognized by the software. what on earth is going on?
this is driving me mad.

You need to make sure that your backup software supports Bonjour(network attached) devices. I use the mac backup program and it recognizes AEBSn disk devices.
Can you copy a file manually from finder to the drive?

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

AirPort Express and AirPlay mayhem

Ok so I have a 500GB Time Capsule (about three years old) broadcasting a wireless network and connected by ethernet to a DLINK DSL2740B router in my study and an AirPort Express in my room extending the wireless network wirelessly and for AirPlay. I have been using a 1st-generation AirPort Express for years without an issue until the new AE came out and there was a firmware update to mine. Shortly after, it began cutting out intermittently and AirPlay stutters every 20 seconds or so.
Even though I thought it extremely suspicious that after a firmware update and new generation AirPort Express release my old AE starts cutting out, I went and bought a 2nd-generation AirPort Express (hey, they look prettier). It worked like a charm for the first two days, but now it is cutting out and stuttering while trying to use AirPlay from both my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S. Not only that, but when I look in AirPort Utility on my Mac, it says that the connection to the new AE is either "poor" or "fair". Seeing as I am sitting about three steps away from the thing, I don't think that's right. Internet speed seems to be largely unaffected.
This is driving me crazy, any help would be appreciated.

A couple of more questions for clarification. Does your Actiontec router also provide Wi-Fi? Is your AirPort Express, which is connected by Ethernet to the Actiontec, configured as a roaming network or to join the Actiontec's wireless network?
