ITunes can not connect to remote speakers after upgrades

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes and I am no longer able to connect to my remote speakers. I get a random error message when trying to connect. I've rebooted the airport station and modem. Didn't solve the problem.
Can anyone help? I'm stumped...

I have a MacBook, airport express and appletv. All three were working with airtunes on itunes 7 without issue. Since itunes 8, airport express works great, but the itunes keeps reporting that my appletv speakers are no longer available.
Problem will occur on sleep/wakeup and whenever itunes decides it is angry, even though my appletv is listed on the bar and is syncing. Sometimes it will play for about 10 seconds and then the music stops, but itunes indicates it is still playing. Pause/play will sometimes resolve the issue, but other times will report the appletv speakers have disappeared, but itunes is still listing the apple tv. Rebooting appletv makes no difference.
Workaround has been to restart itunes. For the music stopping after 10 seconds, if restarting itunes results in the same problem, reboot computer. My firewall is disabled, so my opinion .
Also - I love the remote app on my touch, but when play fails due to a speaker error there is no feedback. Instead I get no music and after a delay the icon changes from pause to play again. Of course itunes was complaining about unavailable speakers. Someone should add some intelligence to report such errors to the remote.

  • TS1398 can not connect to wi-fi after upgrading to os6

    Upgraded to OS6 on both Iphone 4s and Ipad2 and immediately can not connect to wi-fi. did all recommended fixes, ie. settings reset, power off and on etc... still no luck. My ipad is wi-fi only and doesn't do me any good if i can't connect.

    If your wifi is greyed out do the following:
    1) Put your phone on a plastic bag and then in the fridge (not the freezer!).
    Wait around 20 minutes to take it out.
    2) The moment you take it out reset your network settings.
    When the phone turns on, your wifi wont be greyed out.
    But...
    The problem you might have is that it wont pick up any networks at all. Which is my case.

  • ITunes can't connect to remote speakers PLUS Airport Express p/word problem

    I am running iTunes 7.4.1 and have previously been able to play iTunes through remote speakers via an Airport Express . After upgrading iTunes some time ago, I am unable to connect to the AE any more. The AE shows as an option in my iTunes window, but when I select it from the drop down option box bottom right, it just doesn't choose it.
    I have read other discussions pertaining to this, and have followed all of those solutions, but to no avail.
    I have done a hard reset on the AE restoring it's factory settings thinking I should just start again, and it has been renamed "Base Station Oa369f" so I know this has worked, but when I try to reconfigure it through Airport Utility, it asks for a password. I tried it's old password, and also tried the generic one "public" as stated in the AE setup guide, but it rejects both.
    I am keen to figure this out as I'm about to buy a new printer and another AE so I can print wirelessly, but don't want to have the same issues if it's an AE bug that can't be fixed, I would be left with no printer!
    I know this is two quite separate problems, but if anyone has any ideas for either I would be really grateful.
    Thanks very much

    I have exactly the same problem which has been driving me nuts for the last couple of days. However I am able to access the dropdown list of speakers. I have mine set to multiple speakers, and now it WILL play through my Airport Express again, but only when playing through the internal speakers at the same time. When I try to play solely through the Airport Express it just hangs.
    Come on Apple, you need to be regression testing your upgrades far better than this, for something so basic to go wrong.

  • Itunes will not connect to remote speakers attached to Airport Express

    I have just bought an AX for the specific purpose of streaming music to a new mini hi fi.
    I have added AX to my existing wireless network without problem. Firmware updated. Latest itunes and OS.
    Itunes sees the speakers attached to AX but will not connect. I keep getting "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker......An unknown error occurred (-15000).
    I have updated all software, reset AX and started all over again. I have given the speakers a password.
    I also try and connect using my iphone 3GS - latest software. It also sees the speakers. I get no error message but nothing plays.
    Help please. I have set this up as a gift for friends and I am leaving tomorrow.

    try the following:
    1) Open System Preferences
    2) Open Network pane
    3) Select Airport in the left list
    4) Click the Advanced button
    5) Go to the TCP/IP tab
    6) Set the "Configure IPv6" field to Off.
    7) Click "OK"
    8) Click "Apply"
    9) Let iTunes connect to your AirTunes speakers

  • When I launch iTunes on the PC, iTunes will not connect to Airplay speakers. Only after a new start of iTunes a connection is established.

    When I launch iTunes on the PC, iTunes will not connect to Airplay speakers. Only after a new start of iTunes a connection is established.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but the 'clean' install of iTunes (which I did twice) didn't do the trick.
    Anybody else have a clue?
    I spoke with Apple Care, who was also stumped. They think it might be a hardware issue (but were probably just giving up on working with me because it was free service/I haven't paid the $50). Still seems awfully coincidental that my Airport (1st Gen - about 4 years old) would stop being able to stream music through iTunes simultaneously with the iTunes update...

  • Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store

    Every time I try to connect to the ITunes Store an error pops up :  Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store.  I have downloaded the updated software and have access to the internet.  Anyone ever run into this problem?

    If it still has problems after trying the steps above, try resetting Winsock. It looks like it worked for a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.
    MTG68 wrote - In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".  Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

    hi ALL
    OUtlook 2013 can not connect to exchange 2013 after exchange maibox member of DAG failed.
    Exchange environment contains 2 Exchange Mailboxesserver ,( one Failed , virtual Machine)
    2 cas Servers

    Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG -MailboxServer MBX1
    please support
    thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that Outlook client cannot connect to Exchange server 2013 while one member of DAG failed.
    If I have misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    I want to double confirm whether all account store in MBX1 experience this issue, users in MBX2 works fine.
    Please run following command to double check the database status:
    Get-MailboxDatabase –Status | select Name,Mounted,MountedOnServer
    If it works in OWA, the issue may be related to Outlook side. Please run “Test E-mail AutoConfiguration” and “Outlook Connection Status” to get more details, expecial the setting of proxy server, it’s more helpful
    for further troubleshooting.
    Additional, please try to recreate a profile for testing. Besides, please move active DB back to MBX1.
    Best Regards,

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

  • Can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

    Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
    That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
    Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps).  Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior.  The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere.  Specific syncs are not relevant.

  • 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 can not connect to the store in Windows 8.1

    Since i have upgraded to windows 8.1 itnues on acer keeps giving the message that it can not connect to itune store...it is not reading my ipod touch 4th gen or my ipad 3

    Hey zoyashahab,
    Ok, so it sounds like there are two issues here we want to address, the first being the iTunes Store connection issue and the second being iTunes not recognizing your iOS devices.
    First, I'd start with troubleshooting the recognition by following the steps in here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If after getting that running again, you still can't connect to the iTunes Store, then I'd go through the troubleshooting steps in here:
