Check your firewall?
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
Also, under Advanced, make sure something didn't check "block UDP"

  • Itunes cant connect to my speakers

    For months my Itunes has worked perfect to play via 2 Airport Express and 1 Airport Extreme.
    All the green lamps are green - but Itunes comes up with a error code ( 1501 I think) that Itunes cant connect to my speakers. Itunes preferences are sat up to find my extern speakers.
    Strange because it has worked so great and I have not changed any settings
    Any help
    Sincerely - Frank

    Hi, stig2013. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Upgrade to iTunes 7.2 broke connection with remote speakers

    There have been a few discussions about the inability of iTunes to connect to remote speakers in the past, and I found one that was answered regarding an upgrade to 7.0 back in September 2006 - b noir recommended the help article posted on his page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304371
    My issue is the same as the one posted in Sept. 2006, but it only started when I downloaded the upgrade to iTunes 7.2. I see the remote speakers greyed out in my iTunes speaker list but can't select them. The fix in the help article above of configuring IPv6 doesn't help. Has anyone else run into this/have any suggestions for me? My wireless network consists of 2 Airport Expresses; the extension is the one hooked up to my speakers.
    Many, many thanks!

    I'm experiencing something similar where my remote speakers are working well from my Macs (wired) and Windows Vista laptop (wireless) but do not show up at all from my Windows XP desktop (wired).
    I do have Symantec Personal Firewall running, but I have (1) trusted my local internal network, (2) explicitly opened ports 3689 and 5353 and (3) tried it with the firewall disabled with no luck. I do not have Windows Firewall running, and I don't believe I have anything else that would be limiting network traffic. I do not have Bonjour or Rendevous services running. I can ping the AEs just fine (I have 3 AEs), and I am on the same subnet. I have selected LOOK FOR REMOTE SPEAKERS in the iTunes settings, and I am running the latest version of iTunes (7.2). I have also not tried downgraded to an earlier version of iTunes, but for now I'd rather get this fixed in another fashion as 7.2 works well from my other machines.
    I hope the above description (with fixes recommended by other users in other threads) is helpful. I appreciate any input or feedback people may have.

  • Problems with wired connection to external speakers - 8330 Curve

    I have a boombox and travel speakers I use with my 8330 curve. When I connect these to my 8330 with a 3.5mm cable (3 contacts, not 4) I get static between each song. I am guessing this has something to do with using a 3 contact male connector into the 4 contact female connector on my device. I understand the 4th contact is used for microphone on a headset, but I only want to connect to my speakers for music.
    Any thoughts on how I can connect to external speakers and eliminate the static? Is there a 3.5mm adapter that goes from a 4 contact male to a 3 contact female? Blackberry offers a 3.5 male to 2.5 female adapter which is not what I am looking for, plus I believe it is still 4 contacts so it would not resolve my static problem.
    I am hoping for a resolution without resorting to the Bluetooth gateway.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunatly, I can't help with the cabled connection static issue.  However, I'll plug the Gateway.  I have one and it's absolutely awesome.  It works flawlessly and I wouldn't trade it for a cable for anything.

  • Caused error -3256 when attempting to connect to external speakers.

    I'm trying to connect to my Airport express using a PC running Windows XP home Edition SP 3 with iTunes 8.0.2 and getting the following error
    caused error -3256 when attempting to connect to external speakers.
    I've searched on teh internet and everything seems to relate to the Mac OS.
    Anyone running XP had similar issues?
    My AirportExpress is running FM 6.3
    Thanks
    Marcus

    After reading this discussion thread, I've seemed to have solved the problem for myself. I'm using the Trend Micro PC-Cillin Firewall. I disabled it and the airtunes worked. So, I went into the firewall settings. There's the ability to edit the profile and add to an exceptions list. You select the executable program, select incoming or outgoing, I accepted the other default settings and it worked.

  • Connecting two external speakers

    hi
    i have one small question: is there any real harm into connecting two external speakers directly to the mac without the help of an amplifier?
    will there be any problems?
    thanx for replying

    I did actually hook 'em up, without the amplifier and it does work with an acceptable level of sound(sounds quite nice) but i need to know whether this will har my mac in the long run.
    I have two JBL column speakers.

    I am also providing you with a screenshot of what appears! I need photos on my iPad2
    Message was edited by: angana

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

  • Cant connect with new modem

    Im currently using the Versalink 327W modem and it works fine but it disconnects randomly lately.  I tried replacing the ethernet cable but it only recognizes the one I was using for some reason.  I decided to purchase the Westell 6100 on Ebay but I cant connect.  When I try opening internet explorer I get a log in page asking me to enter my isp email adress and phone number.
    I also tried using the GT704WG modem but I cant connect to it either.  All lights are fine except for the Internet light which turns Red.  Is there a reason I cant connect with a new modem, when my old modem works fine?

    Try this.
