Ipad 3 has intermittent issues with airplay to airport express

Hi
I have difficulty streaming from ipad 3 to my airport express, its very intermittent.
Neither my iphone or my mac have trouble

Hope this helps others who are struggling to get the most out of their airplay devices.
After I spent a couple of hours talking to Crutchfield, Yamaha and Century Link I think I figured it out, at least in my case. Thanks to Google I was able to find some posts that pertained to my particular Century Link modem router. Evidently the modem that I was provided has a bug that has yet to be corrected with a firmware update that when set up for Auto Channel it doesn't necessary find the "best" channel. So after reading this I hooked into my modem and saw that it automatically connected to channel 8. I read some stuff that said typically channels 1, 6 and 11 are the best for what that is worth. I changed this feature to override the automatic channel selection and chose channel 6 (which was a suggestion I read online) and I have been streaming various music sources (spotify and Pandora from my ipone 6 and ITunes from my iphone 5 and 6 and from my PC) for several days and countless hours and not ONE skip. I couldn't be happier.
How Crutchfield, Yamaha or even Century Link couldn't figure this out is beyond me but at this point I don't care because my setup is finally working has I hoped it would. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that this performance issue doesn't come back.
Hope this helps someone.

Apple TV causing problems with Airplay from Airport Express?

I am having a problem with Airplay on my home network. I have two Airplay devices - Apple TV and an Airprot Express. I soon as both of these devices are on my wireless network Airplay starts to create all kinds of errors, delays, inability to connect and ultimately both AP devices crash.
The AE is connected to the existing network and is only being used as an airplay device to send music to a set of speakers.
I have looked at the knowledge base & I tried all of the following (plus every conceivable combination):
Restored both the Apple TV & AE to factory settings.
Checked both are on independent IPs.
Checked all the settings on my router.
Restarted my router.
Changed the channel on my router (it's worth mentioning here that both devices are on a 5GHz connection).
It's also worth noting that when I did a factory reset of everything and set the ATV up on an ethernet connection everything worked swimmingly until I unplugged the ethernet cable and connected the device to the wireless network.
Both work independently (i.e. when the other is not connected to the wireless network), but need restarting if the two have been run at the same time.
So - in a nut shell - it appears to me that the two devices are interfering with each other - but how?!
Are any geniuses out there able to help?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Winston. I put the APE onto the 2.4 connection. This didnt solve this issue, but then with the two devices on the different connections I changed the channels a few times and eventually I found a coblination that works! I now have a problem where the ATV doesn't wake up to AirPlay, but I feel this is most likely a separate issue.

Another issue with Mac+PC & Airport Express network

Okey here's my problem. Yesterday i got my very first Mac (iBook 12") and i'm very happy about the computer in general. I also have Airport Express wireless base station. My other computer is table-PC and it has Planet WL-8314 PCI wireless card in it. I have ADSL-modem that i used with ethernet connection.
Now i want to connect Airport Express to ADSL so that both computers could get wireless internet connection and PC could be able to connect to speakers with Airtunes.
iBook connects to Airport Express very easily. No question there. But my Windows XP (service pack 2) PC is driving me crazy. I have configured the network using the admin utility from iBook. I've tried fully open network, use mac-address, WEP and WPA, but nothing works. I've installed Airport Express applications to windows as well but it doesn't connect.
Here is my current settings (Hope i can translate them correctly to english, i'm using finnish).
Encryption: WPA2 Personal
Encryption type: WPA OR WPA2
Connection: Ethernet
DHCP is in use
Share IP-addresses "checked"
by sharing one IP-address (DHCP and NAT) (use 192.168.1.1. addressing)
As i said i've disabled encryption, used mac-addresses and even made it fully public but nothing helps.
When i configure Airport Express from iBook my PC shows the network and does recognize the name of the network correctly and even if there is an encryption in use or not. If i'm using WPA and trying to connect, my PC asks for password but when i give the correct password it just stays stuck - nothing happens. The same thing when i try to connect without any encryption and passwords. It just tries and tries and tries... and fails.
This feels pretty hopeless. And the weird part is that yesterday i got it work for maybe an hour or so. Then Windows crashed and when it loaded again the same settings did not work anymore. So there are really weird things happening. And that period when it was working the admin utility worked in PC as well.
So any ideas what i could do. I'd really apreciate any help that can guide me to make my network fully work. So far it works perfect only with iBook - well better than nothing .
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The connection i managed to establish last night didn't last very long. When i restarted Win XP, the connection was lost again. Anyway now i think i have solved the problem. All i had to do was to not set Windows XP take control over wireless network configure. This was done through unchecking one option. Then i could open wireless network adapter's own configuration tool and establish a connection to Airport Express wireless network.
So basically i had to punch Windows XP's native tools down in order to get the connection work at all. It just amazes me why such feature exists if it doesn't work.. Anyway i'm happy now and hope this discussion with myself in this thread might help some other as well .

Sapido GR-1142 with Airplay replace Airport Express

Hi, is anyone used before thit device with a HIFI system like DENON without Airplay itself? Just I want to replace my Airport Express to Sapido GR-1142 and play music from my Macbook pro 13 by this device via WIFI and from this device via USB-Audio cable to my DENON, is this config will be working?
Here is a link to site http://www.sapidotech.com/products.php?act=view&no=115
Thank to all who will try to help me

It sounds like you may have configured your Time Capsule to use a separate name for the 5 GHz network and then setup the Express to extend that specific band.
In order to extend both bands, the Time Capsule setup will need to be changed so that both bands are using the same name. In other words, you would uncheck the option for the 5 Ghz name.
Then, setup the new Express to extend the Time Capsule network.
This is the only way that they Express can extend both bands. It cannot extend both bands if you have assigned a separate name to the 5 GHz network since you will be forced to choose either the 5 GHz band or the 2.4 GHz band for the Express to extend.
How the microwave oven will affect this is not known. This will one of those things that you have to try in your home to know if it will work well, so it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy....in case things do not work out as hoped.

Printing issues with D1455 and Airport express

Hi, I'm having problems printing with an HP Deskjet D1455 and the airport express. The printing always halts after printing half the page.
Attached is another post related with this problem:
"HI,
i just purchased the Deskjet 1455 and connected to the airport express for wireless printing. I followed the instructions of installing printer on windows with bonjour on the Apple website. After I get everything set, then I started to print, but it stopped while printing(It prints half of the document then stop). In the computer status says ''error'', and it is the same thing when I trying to delete it.
The printer works when I directly connect to the computer.
I want to use wireless printing, how to solve this problem? THANK YOU!"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492845&tstart=0
Does anybody knows how can I can solve this?
Thank you.

I came across your question and wondered if you could help me. I just bought a macpro with leopard and am having a heck of a time getting it to work with my design jet 800ps which is connected by usb cable. I installed the driver for the printer from the leopard cd but to no avail. The printer shows up in the printer list but when I send a file nothing happens. I have been on the phone with HP but nothing seems to make a difference.
Thanks much

Speed issue with TC and Airport Express 802.11n in WDS mode...

Here is my problem.
I replaced my older base station / Express duo with
a new Time Capsule (1TB) and a new Airport Express (802.11n).
I set up the network with the TC as base station running a WDS network (WDS main) and the Express is the WDS remote.
When I check the wireless clients from the TC, I find my iMac running at 130Mbits and the Extreme at 54Mbits.
No other wireless clients are connected to the network (I kept my slower network as a parallel one for my "older" Macs).
The only other connected device is my Dish network DVR that is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to the Express.
So my question is why does the Express not communicate at >54 speed rate with the TC?
And, why does my iMac connect with 130 and not with 300Mbits?
Any thoughts?

Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
Here's the basic setup:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Audio sync issues with Optical Toslink Airport Express

Hello
I have 2 airport expresses. One connected via mini to RCA to some Logitech speakers.... And the other via mini to Optical into my Bose T20 receiver. The Bose is def a few milliseconds behind the Logitech and my computer..... Probably due to the optical cable in the Bose receiver.
Am I to to understand switching to the RCA in the Bose should correct this delay?.... The price being losing on digital audio quality in place of analogue?!!
Can someone please advise if I can somehow get the Logitech connected airport express to have a delay so it syncs that way?
Appreciate any help.
Cheers

At this point I would recommend that you look for signs of Wi-Fi interference that may be preventing your Express from providing the best signal possible ... even in the same room.
An excellent tool to measure signal quality, built into OS X Mountain Lion, is the OS X Wireless Diagnostics:
Option-click on the AirPort icon on the OS X menu bar.
Select "Open Wireless Diagnostics..."
Enter your Mac's Administrator credentials in the next window.
On the Wireless Diagnostics window DO NOT click on "Continue." Instead, go to the diagnostic's menu bar, and then, select Window > Utilities
Start the test with the laptop near the wireless router. Note the values for RSSI and Noise. They should both be negative and measured in dBm.
Now take the laptop to the other locations that you want to access the Internet in your home. Different rooms, different floors, etc. Again, note these same two values at each of these locations.
When you have finished collecting the data, you will want to enter them into the following formula for Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). SNR = RSSI - Noise. For example, if your get the following readings: RSSI = -61 dBm and Noise = -84 dBm, SNR = (-61) - (-84) = 23 db
To get decent wireless bandwidth performance at a location you will want the SNR value to be 25+ dB.

Hi. New iPad Air for Xmas. Intermittent issues with Safari closing suddenly or just suddenly opening App Store on a second tab. HELP!

Hi
There is an intermittent issue with either Safari just closing suddenly (looking at other discussions, believe this is to do with the RAM - wish this had been mentioned in at least one review of iPad Air I investigated before purchasing) however the most irritating issue is this constant 'jumping' from whatever I'm reading to the App Store which has been just automatically opened on another tab.. App Store is either showing William Hill app (never looked at or downloaded this) or on some occasions, some random game app which again, I've never looked at or downloaded... (I've checked the pages I've been reading & none of these are pop-ups or ads on these pages either...)
Any ideas?

I have this issue too. I don't think it's a problem with anyone's iPad or iPhone, it's internet advertisers who have worked out how to automatically trigger sending a person to the App Store just by loading a web page. I've seen William Hill and various games come through on the App Store with this technique.
This could mean Apple have no protection in Safari for preventing redirects to the App Store without a user specifically triggering it (like the way pop-ups used to happen before pop-up blockers were invented). Although I suspect that Apple wouldn't be that blasé about that sort of thing. More likely I think is the advertisers are binding a page event like onscroll which shouldn't allow this but was perhaps overlooked by Safari's developers. Apple need to make an update to Safari to prevent anything but ontap/onclick events from opening the App Store.
You should perhaps consider banning apps on the App Store using this advertising technique. They'd soon start behaving if they thought their app could be de-listed!!!

HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing

Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify. It is as if airplay is not runing. A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Facing intermittent issue with findByAltKey api

We are facing an intermittent issue with findByAltKey while invoking from service in out code and so we want to understand the expected behavior of this api
the issue is we have an unposted row in the cache which we need to retrieve.So we are doing a findByAltKey and based on the alternate keys it should return the row,but it fails sometimes.
We noticed while debugging that one of the alternate key attributes that we have defined on our EO is "Name" and the value of name in the EntityCache is sometimes becoming null.As a result of this the alternatekey attributes we pass doesnt match the EO.getAltKey(index) and it in turn doesnt fetch the row.
This attribute "Name" is present both in the base table and the translation table and there is a view link from parent VO to the TL(translation) VO.
What we want to understand here is when we do a findByAltKey based on name ,from where does it gets the name from the base vo or translation vo? And is it because of this sometimes this value in the cache is null?
Can anyone please explain the above issue.

Intermittent issues with video output initialization

Hi Guys,
I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
3)Startup problems (fail to start)
4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
Some of the evidence (I have much more):

You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
"Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.
