HT4437 Dowloaded Itunes 11.   While airplay icon shows up with my three available devices (computer, Apple tv and airport express), I get an unknown error -15006 occurred while connecting to AirPlay device Apple TV (or airport express device I named Stere

I have third party Airfoil.  When I select Itunes as source, all three sources are available and connected and working.  I tried the basics (reseting/restarting everything) but I still get this error message.  It all work fine with earlier versions of Itunes 10.  Any thoughts?

  • Airport Express and iTunes give error: 'An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device'

    Hi guys & girls,
    Yesterday I bought an Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation); solely for the purpose of listening to my music without connecting any cables to my speakers.
    I've done the set-up (i.e. linked the AE to my existing network without any Ethernet) and connected the AE to my speakers, and the light turns green. However, when I try to make a connection in iTunes to the base station, I get the following error: 'An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Base Station 5bf269”.'
    I'm quite a noob with computers and the technical aspects, however, I normally get around by googling and trying out some things. I've tried the following things already:
    - Downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to change the IPv6 to Host (Configuration is set on automatic)
    - Firmware update for the Airport Express to 7.6.1
    My iTunes version is 10.6.3, am using MacBook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4. I really have no clue what could be wrong and how to fix this. I'm only sitting 2 meters away from the AE so it cannot be about the range. Can someone help me please?
    Thanks!!

  • I keep getting this message An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device " AirPort Express".

    Please help. I have been having major difficulties with my Airport Express. It used to work fine but for the last year or so it continually disconnects, skips and ultimately drops out and itunes gives me this message "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”. I keep resetting, unplugging, restarting Itunes, or my computer. It works for a couple of hours and then I get the message again. It's making me nuts and was a bummer at last week's party when we had no music, yet again. I have looked up the support discussions, but there is no answer as to how I can fix it. I am currently using Mt Lion OS. Does this have anything to do with it? Checked for software updates, but nada.
    Any suggestions.

    It may be possible the where you have the AX located may just be in a spot where it does not get a good signal even it is only 8 feet away.
    I suggest that you download and install iStumbler. You will use it to determine the signal quality by making Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements. This will be easiest if your Mac is a laptop ... or you can borrow one. When taking the measurements, you only want your "main" AirPort running as this is what we want to measure at the location of the AX.
    SNR (in dB) = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm)
    You can easily find the Signal and Noise value using System Profiler on your Mac laptop.
    ref: Click on the Apple icon on the menu bar > About This Mac > More Info... > Contents > Network > AirPort > Interfaces > en1 > Current Network Information > Find your wireless network > Signal / Noise
    While your still in the System Profiler, note the value for Transmit Rate.
    These values should be negative numbers. For example, mine currently read: -67 dBm / -95 dBm, with a transmit rate of 27 (Mbps). Plugging in these numbers yield: SNR = -67 - (-95) = 28. My Mac Mini is about four rooms away from my AEBS with about five walls between them. As you can see, the signal is still quite useable ... but the bandwidth is minimal, especially for streaming.
    SNR Guideline
    40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    Please post back your results.

  • An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV".

    LOADS OF PROBLEMS WITH AIPORT EXPRESS
    An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”.

    I had the same issue, started getting the error after my Airport Express had been working perfectly for over two years.
    On another post in this site, someone advised disabling IPv6.
    System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> Configure IPv6 to OFF
    This instantly fixed the streaming for me. Not sure why or if it will work for AppleTV.
    Hope this helps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your computer.

  • An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Frontera Speakers".

    I have seen several threads that address problems connecting an Airport Express to an existing network. However, I have had no luck with any of the suggestions. I have configured at Airport Express base station as an AirPlay device. The unit shows up as connected in Airport Utility 5.6 and can be selected through iTunes. After several moments of displaying a dialog box indicating a connection to remote speakers the following error is displayed in the finder: An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Speakers" Airport Utility lauches automatically and displays the following error: Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again.

    I have rebuilt permissions and reset the airport multiple times. At a loss.

    I have third party Airfoil.  All devices and connections are working when I choose Itunes as the source in this program- but not in Itunes itself.  I have tried basics - resetting everything - but this was not successful

  • "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Brian's AirPort Express"

    This keeps popping up when I tyr and use my airport express. Anyone know how to fix it?

    Yup, seems these kinds of problems are always related to airplaying.
    iTunes is fully up to date? I wonder if it's an interference issue.  Can you connect the express over ethernet by any chance for testing purposes?

  • An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "

    I've done a soft reset, hard reset, rebooted, software update - the only thing I haven't done recommended by Apple is set specific Firewalls - which was not an available option. 
    It worked fine for about a year, but just stopped working.  Is it a defective unit?  What other options are there?

    I too have had these issues connecting to my WiFi driven speakers and 2nd gen ATV.
    I disabled NAT on my Airport Base Station to no avail.  Then I remembered that I had my iMac connected via ethernet.  I unplugged the ethernet, connecting my iMac via WiFi to base station.
    Poof...everything works like a charm with no hitches.
    I'm not a computer genius but I did find the solution.  Go figure.

    I am getting "An unknown error has occurred (3014)" on my iPad2 while trying to upgrade to iOS6. What do I need to do to fix this?

    Hi apiccolo5,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    See these articles for steps that can help you resolve the issue you're seeing:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Best,

  • MS Project 2010 - An unknown error has occurred while syncing to a SharePoint site.

    Dear all,
    I encountered a generic error when using MS Project 2010 to sync with our SharePoint 2013 on-premise. I want to clarify is it default behaviour or a bug.
    When I start MS Project 2010 professional from new -> sync to Sharepoint by type in URL and the list name. I can create a new project list successfully.  I have verified the tasks are sync to the Sharepoint and I am able to see them listed on site.
    After sync, I save the Ms Project document to local computer. Named test1.mpp. Then I close MS Project. Then open test1.mpp again and then sync immediately. This time an error show up:
    An unknown error has occurred while syncing to a SharePoint site. Ensure the SharePoint site is running and try again
    Since I didn't add anything to the mpp file, I believe it doesn't contain any invalid data blocking the sync. What would be the problem? Thanks.
    Mark

    No, I didn't. I just fill the site path like:
    http://sharepoint.com/sites/Project/
    and then the List field:
    ProjectA
    I want to clarify the sequence should be:
    After sync, I save the Ms Project document to local computer. Named test1.mpp. Then I close MS Project. Then open test1.mpp again and then sync immediately. Then error occur.
