ITunes cutting out via Airplay since firmware update

Today after updating the firmware for my airport express my music now cuts out playing from my macbook pro.
I've tried every comination of 5 ghz network and 2.4 ghz network and it cuts out every ten seconds or so.
This is maddening. My music system is hosed because of an "update" by Apple.

Same problem as yours but I've found a way to downgrade the Airport firmware on OSX Mountain Lion. You need to install the Airport Utility 5.6 on wichever OSX version you are (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482). Mountain Lion will refuse to install the package. To bypass this, you have to use the shareware Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/) wich will enable the installation of the package.
From Airport Utility 5.6, select "manual configuration" / then click on the word "version" / and finally choose the firmware version 7.6.1 or whichever other previous version you wish. And voilà!
Does not resolve the 7.6.3 issue but at least, it permit to listen to audio without  constants cut out. Just have to wait for another upgrade from Apple. But for my part, I'll stay away from them ;-)

  • Im losing will to live! iphone3gs not being recognised anymore in itunes or iphoto via usb since IOS5 update

    Im really really p'd off with this!!!!! 
    Have had my 3GS for 2 years and it has always been recognised in Itunes and iphoto when plugged into my macbook pro (10.6.8) with the usb. Now since IOS5 update it intermittidely recognised it, now it doesnt at all,  I plug it in it beeps then nothing, I have tried everything in all the tech services advice. Last week it did finally recognise it and I had time to switch off the wifi syncing which I now realise was a mistake as now I cant sync it at all. I have uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes. Been here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 tried it nothing, tried everything, swearing at the devices is not working, thinking about throwing through a window to see if that helps!
    Seriously I need to sync and get all the photos off from past 2 months, why is this not working anymore? Is it a problem with IOS5 10.6.8 snowleopard and 3GS combo?
    Can anyone suggest how I get it working again please!!!

    I have experienced everything you have and more pixel ate it.  
    My last sync was around Dec. 14 and have been unable to do so until yesterday. My PC is now freezing, itunes does not want to open and it now sees the iPone as a camera but not recognized in iTunes.
    I have tired addition to re-installing iTunes 4 different times:  tried to install an older version and rebuilt a compatible library file, deleted and re-built current library versions, started entire computer in safe mode, disabled add-ons, ran a registry fix program, ran a Win-Fix program, done a system restore 2x, re-authorized the iPhone more than twice, turned iCloud off to try sync via USB, ensured I had an 'enhanced' usb port needed for OS5, that I can recount!
    My PC was working perfectly until I was able to sync yesterday and it is now back to it sick state.  I have no idea why syncing would create such havoc and I am now back to the same state I was in Dec. 14. 
    What good is a smartphone if Apple isn't smart enough to push out a fix!!??
    I replaced my android because my contacts and calendar are my life and now I can neither.

  • After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

    After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

    You do not want EFI 2.2, it bricked many 2011 MacBook Pro machines.
    EFI 2.3 is the fix. Software Update should install it if you need it, but it goes to the boot drive as that's where the hidden EFI resides.
    Check out this link of machines and their EFI versions
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Also if your SSD should be in the hard drive bay as it makes a better boot/applicaitions drive, not a good storage drive as it wears out with repeated use and is not "scrubbable" like a regular hard drive
    The hard drive should be in the optical bay and used as a storage drive, you have things all messed up inside your machine, Apple doesn't support or expect the optical drive to be used as such to begin with, then as a boot drive is just asking for trouble. So use the optical bay as storage and not as a boot bay.
    Also you can't install OS X or Windows or use a Firmware restore disk because it only works from a internal optical drive, which you have removed.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
    You need to learn all about cloning etc., as you have no other means to boot the machine.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

    My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2. 
    I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
    I can't see it anymore in ITunes.  I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
    I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
    I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
    I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
    The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
    I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
    I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
    Many thanks for your help !

  • Songs on iTunes cutting out on Apple Tv airplay/iPod

    I have a few songs on my iMac purchased on iTunes that play fine on the Mac but cut out part way through on my iPod and Apple TV.  Any ideas?

    Hello Stu,
    You may consider deleting the songs, then redownloading them from the iTunes Store.

  • Streaming Movies and TV Shows from iTunes is very, very slow since recent update

    I have an Apple TV 2nd generation and since I updated it to the latest firmware available, that came out last week with the announcement of a new Apple TV, streaming content from iTunes servers, Movies and TV Shows, has become a nightmare. I don't think it is due to the firmaware update as I think it is due to the lack of capacity of the servers. As recent as last week everything worked fine. I would just press play and the TV Show would start almost immediatly and the streaming was fast enough that all the TV Show, past the point I was watching, was downloaded, without any delay or having to stop to rebuffer. The first time I noticed it was on monday this week and since then I have been testing streaming directly from iTunes every now and then and it never came back to work the way it did. I know the problem isn't my network. I have a 20 Mbits connection and download content at 2 Mbytes/sec on avarage.
    And I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Apple has made available content in 1080p, and that maybe it is stressing its servers even more. What I do know is that the way it is working right now undermine the entire concept of what Apple TV should be like. It has to work just the way it did when Eddy Cue gave a demonstration of the new Apple TV on Wednesday, the content played authenticated immediatly and started playing, without long time buffering. "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV", said Philip Schiller. But I can't even stream 720p content.

    I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.
    I called my ISP and applied for a 50MB package and see it it helps.

  • Iphone/Apple TV airplay since phone update

    Since I updated my Iphone, I can't airplay videos (you tube) from my phone onto the TV.  When I called Apple support they said it never should have worked but it always had. I have 2nd iphone tha I didn't updated yet and I can still pull up a you tube video on my phone and then hit the airplay icon and it plays on my TV (via Apple TV).  Anyone else have this problem?  Solution?

    Ditto. I've noticed that it is snappier with changing menus and holding down the play button to bring up the chapter/audio menu is much quicker and smoother. But with that being said, I've seen at times that the video playback is choppy, especially when playing after a pause or pulling up the time bar at the bottom.
    Oh well. Here's hoping it's fixed in 2.4. I have to wonder if Apple is having a problem adding new features but is hitting a wall with regards to system resources (memory/processing power).

  • Since firmware update 7.5.2, erratic powering down.

    Since I updated my firmware from 7.3.2 to 7.5.2 two weeks ago, I have been experiencing poor performance. The reason I was still on 7.3.2 was because 7.4.2 gave me erratic connections, and thus I rolled my firmware back to 7.3.2. I tried doing the same this time, but the Airport Utility is not offering anything but 7.5.2, and the 7.3.2 firmware was deleted from my system when 7.5.2 was installed. The Airport Utility is refusing to offer 7.4.2 or the 7.3.2 firmware.
    My setup:
    I do not have special settings like a VPN or things like that. I have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem, and the Airport Express on the other side of the house. The Airport Extreme creates a network, and the Airport Express extends that network. The network is using a WPA2 password. Channel 7 is being used because that's best for my area.
    My problems:
    - Random disconnects, which start at the Airport Extreme and spread to the Airport Express.
    - The Airport Express has been shutting down on its own randomly, must unplug and replug several times in order for it to come back on.
    - This morning, my Airport Extreme started showing the same behavior.
    I have owned these devices for going on 3 years. This is a new problem, because I never had problems before. I was ready to buy another Airport Express because I thought it had started dying; but when my Airport Extreme started showing the same behaviors this morning I was alarmed. It has happened twice since this morning.
    Please help! Or provide any information you know about this.

    Have you tried to download via...select Airport Utility in the Finder>click on "Airport Utility"> on the drop down menu click on "Check for updates" as you hold down the Option key. Down load the version you want...then upload and install using Manual Setup>click on "Version", third line from top. Good Luck, RJB
    BTW: I'm running Airport Utility, 5.5.2

  • Apple TV and iTunes -- Cover art via AirPlay is incorrect.

    iTunes and second gen Apply TV software is up to date.  I now find that album cover art is not displaying correctly on Apple TV, when music played from iTunes via AirPlay
    He cover art seems to be off set by one album (from the playlist).  First song displays correctly, second song, still shows cover art from first song, third song shows cover art from second song, and so on.
    Since the cover art used to display correctly, I assume that this is a bug in AirPlay.  Then again, you know what happens when you assume.
    Anyone else have the same problem and been able to correct this issue?
    Thanks.

    I am also experiencing this issue.  If I stop and then re-start the song, the art corrects itself, but that should not be necessary.  I would love a fix for this before the holiday when I play a lot of music.

  • TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

    iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

    Marcello, I am having the same problem.  When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
    I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini. 
    I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

  • Seagate external drive not recognized since firmware update

    I've looked through the posts here and haven't found this issue addressed specifically, so here goes. Any help will be appreciated.
    I ran the firmware update on my MacBook Pro the other day, and everything has been normal since, except when I went to switch on my Seagate external HD - which I use as a backup drive - this morning. The mac doesn't see it at all.
    Brought the drive into the office this morning and the iMac here, which hasn't been updated in at least 6 months, sees the Seagate right away.
    I haven't upgraded to Leopard, though I have it, becuase I'm in the middle of a project and don't want any trouble with ProTools. In fact, I hadn't been making any updates at all, but in a moment of weakness ran the firmware update!
    Thanks in advance.

  • I can't wake up my MacBook without power cord since firmware update

    Even though my battery charges fine and it's on 99% full
    it won't wake up without a power cord.
    when I walk away from the computer and close the lid, when I open it again and hit the space bar nothing happens. I have to hit the power up button and still nothing happens. then I plug in the cord and I get the grayed out screen and see the energy coming back with the white stripes loading across the screen.
    Now I just pulled out the cord with it on and sat there for 1 minute to see what happened. The computer shut down! My MacBook effectively can't get the energy off my battery. What is going on??
    This just started 2 days ago right after it asked me to load new firmware. I don't even know why I needed to update the firm ware but all I know now is my Macbook can't live without the power cord now and I was fine before. HOW DO I UNINSTALL that FIRMWARE UPDATE?? or HOW do I fix this??
    please help me

    My macbook is presenting the same problem after firmware update. Resetting the smc didn't work, as well as resetting the pram and repairing permissions in safe boot mode. Help, please... my mac suddently turned to be a PC.... simply not working!!!!
    I tried to clean the battery plate, as well, but i am able to wake my mac up only with power cord plugged in... after restarting the computer, by pressing the power key for 10 seconds, the battery works pretty good...
