It was working and now it's not

I was listening to music throughout the house all day so iTunes was sending to the Apple TV for the theater speakers. I turned everything off, did some stuff and then decided to listen to some more music while I worked. I turned on everything including the TV this time so I could select music from there. iTunes is on but it no longer can connect to the Apple TV. I get this error message.
An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).
I double checked the TV input and it is correct. The screen glows slightly and if I press the remote buttons I hear the familirar beeps but nothing else is happening. There have been no power outages or anything else weird happening since I turned it off and back on beyond the passage of an hour or so. What's happening?
I will go disconnect the power and do all the usual stuff but there is no good reason why this happened and all the messages I could find concerning similar unknown error messages have gone unanswered. Does no one know what is happening?

Hello ladybastet,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching the issue you are describing named Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2278.
I would recommend the 10.5.1 or later section.
All the best,
Sterling

  • I am having a problem with Time Machine, the error msg is "Time Machine.app can't be modified or deleted because it is required by MacOsX". It was working and now it is not.

    Should have added that I am trying to retrieve back-up images.

    More information about how it isn't working and what it is doing would help.

    You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

  • Wifi was working, and now does not discover any networks

    I had wifi working, and now it does recognize any of the 6 networks that everything else discovers, any sugestions?
    I read all related posts, did the software update to latest version, restarted several times, and did wifi reset. Actually my statmenet above is not entirely true. It does discover the network and connects when I place the device on top of a router, but moving to 50cm away from it and the connection disconnects and there are no networks discovered. I have tried it with 2 different routers, both of them are working well with my blackberry and laptop - and this was also working with the ipad before.

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If this does not work, then restore the iPad to its factory settings and start again.

  • My iPad 2 will not connect to my wifi. It was working and now will not connect.

    My iPad 2 will no longer connect to my wifi. It was working and just stopped. My wifi still works on my laptop. I have tried resetting my network connections, rebooting, turning wifi off and then back on. Not sure what else to do.....

    So whats the exact issue?  Can you see the network?  What happens when you try and connect to the network
    If you can see the network and can connect to it do you see a little blue circle with an arrow pointing to the right?  If you do could you please click that & confirm what IP address you are receiving.

  • Why is the program asking for a password to color a PDF. I changed the end to png and it was working and now quit

    I was using PDF from a nonprofit i work for to color with PS Elements. It worked and then no longer allows me to drop files into PS Elements.
    First I download the PDF's ....then I change the end from PDF TO .png and then drag and drop into PS Elements ....color .....
    Then I put the files into DropBox  and send them to iphoto to use in Doceri
    FIrst the error message was about Parse
    Now the message is that I need a password to use the program.
    Friends all over the country can get this to work but it is NOT WORKING. I emptied and redownloaded dropbox.....not the problem.
    We set up a dummy account and still could nto use.

    PSE asks for a password when the file was password protected by whoever created it. You can't really expect decent results if you just change the extension of a file. A PDF is a very different animal than a png file and contains very different information, so it's not surprising your results are poor. That's the sort of thing you may get away with once in a while, but you can't expect to use it as a regular workflow.
    Your whole procedure sounds extremely complicated for no particular good reason, at least as you describe it. It would be simpler to open the pdf in Preview and save a copy as a png if that's the format you need, but saving a pdf as anything other than a pdf will generally create a lousy looking file. I would just leave PSE out of the equation here, since you don't seem to be doing any editing with it.

  • IDVD was working and now it doesn't

    Last spring I created a movie in iMovie, shared it with iDVD and created a DVD using iDVD. It worked wonderfully. The movie turned out perfect, plays perfectly in my DVD player. I was thrilled. Now I want to create another DVD using iDVD and I can't get it to work. It opens the program and then freezes and I can't even get the initial screen to open, the beach ball just keeps spinning and spinning. I've tried reloading the software and I've tried repairing disk permissions. Nothing works. How do I get iDVD to work again???

    Welcome to discussions!
    Trash the iMovie and iDVD preference files.
    *Quit iMovie and iDVD.*
    Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and one named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of them. Both apps will create new preference files the next time they run.
    Then, empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
    The files are located here:
    Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist and
    Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
    Also, check to be certain that all of your apps are updated to the latest software updates. (QuickTime, iDVD, OS X, ext)
    Then run another permissions repair.

    I bought CS6 from school for MAC.  Was working initially and now doesn't and it wants me to reinstall.  I don't want to lose my 2 installations. How do I proceed?

  • Was hot and now it's not. ?

    Just got myself the white Macbook a couple weeks ago. I've been using it constantly. (my 1st Mac, and I'm never getting a PC again!)
    Initially, it was always pretty hot. Uncomfortably so. (I had to put it on top of a couple hardcover books when using it on my lap).
    It's plugged in nearly all the time except when I go to bed - then I turn it off and unplug the power adapter. I close it when I'm not using it.
    Last night the fan just suddenly quieted down, so much so that I can't hear it - and now it's nowhere near as hot. I've got it on my lap right now (without the books) and it's only a little bit warm.
    Does this mean anything? Should I be concerned?
    Possibly relevant: The weather has dropped at least a couple degrees in the past day and it's noticeably cooler - another summer is on it's way out.
    By the way, the specs are:
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    250 Gig hard drive
    OS X 10.5.4
    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    call apple support and tell them.. its a safty issue because the device get really hot..

  • I keep getting a download error message. I hit retry but tells me I can not download right now. I have been able to download other items. I think the download was interrupted and now it will not continue downloading. Help!

    What do I do when a download is interrupted and then will not continue to download?

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.
