Music streaming issues

I am, suddenly, having problems streaming music. I am using an airport base (dual ethernet) and an airport express. My base is upstairs and my express is on the ground floor. It has been working without issue but I am suddenly having transmission problems. The music will play for about 2 to 3 seconds, then stop, then play again for about 2 or seconds, etc. I have tried restarting the express and slightly adjusting the location of the express but nothing corrects the problem. The problem remains constant at various times of the day. Any suggestions?

I just got a 2012 Mazda CX-9 and the track information does not show up. I called Mazda and they mentioned that the apple software needs a fix and have been told for over a year an upgrade should be coming out soon and fix the problem. Many other types of phones show up just fine. The Bluetooth audio in my Mazda is AVRCP 1.3 which is supposed to be compatible with the iphone 4S (upgraded to ios 6.1). I think apple needs to fix it because why would Mazda show other cell phones/Bluetooth devices just fine but who knows. I just think that they need to get together and FIX the known problem. Makes me frustrated with both Mazda and Apple.

New AirPort Express Mac iTunes Music Streaming Issues

Hello All,
I purchased the "new" AirPort Express today from the Apple store and set it up as a client to my existing wireless network to stream music to some speakers via the phono cable. I am running a Linksys E3200 Dual-Band Wireless N Router connected to Comcast via a Motorola SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I can stream music just fine from two iPhones and a Windows 7 64 bit PC (with iTunes), but can't via my Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion and iTunes 10.6.3. I also tried another Late 2008 Uni-Body MacBook running Lion and iTunes 10.6.1, which also doesn't work correctly. The MacBooks will connect successfully via iTunes to AirPlay, but the music skips about every 1-2 seconds.
I've rebooted all pieces of the network (including the MacBooks) and still no sucess. Called into Apple Support and the tech requested I split off my WiFi networks to a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz networks via different SSIDs. We connected both the MacBooks and factory reset then reconnected the AirPort to the "new" 5 GHz network. Same issues as we saw before. Moved the AirPort into the same room as the wireless router (maybe 5-10 feet away) and still same issues. Apple tier two wasn't real sure, but I don't blame her since she said she didn't get to order her new AirPort until last night. They're bumping the ticket to engineering to see what they say... but wanted to see if anyone has found a fix for it.
Thanks!
Jeff

It went all the way up the chain with Apple to engineering and they had to setup the AirPort as a standalone router. The music played without issue from my PC, iPhone and Mac. Upon resetting it backup as an AirPlay client it does the same skipping problem on just the Mac (however AirFoil works just fine on the same Mac). The response I got from engineering this afternoon was-
"Jeff,
I heard back from Engineering today. Their advice is: Since this issue only occurs when the Airport Express is connected to your Linksys router, our best advice is to update the Linksys router firmware (contact Linksys) or use a different wireless router.
I apologize for all this inconvenience.
Thank you for calling AppleCare and have a great day!"

Uconnect music stream issue - bluetooth Dodge Caravan 2011

I have a Dodge Caravan 2011 with uConnect 130s RES. My iphones pair and operate correctly but the music will not stream over bluetooth. The music is intermittent, jerky and operates at about 2X normal speed when I can hear it. Dodge (of course) blames apple. Dodge has no software updates for this uConnect.
Has anyone had this problem?
Any ideas?

Just got my 2011 VW Routan (Same Van just VW) but I am having the exact same issue. It seems from my research that there are a lot of these uconnect systems that are haveing issues with iphones. I can't imagine how it is apples fault when ALL my other BT devices work flawlessly with my iphone. I currently have a 4, getting my 5 in a week or so. maybe it will work better, but i plan to take it in and have it checked. I may try and pair it with one of the vehicls on the lot to see if the issue is consistant. I also read there is supposed to be a software update for the uconnect systems, and if that doesn't work, that they should replace the BT module, if it is even seperate from the radio. either way, they need to make it work they way it is supposed to, like ALL other BT devices seam to work.

IS07 Car Music Bluetooth Streaming Issue - Help Needed

I drive an Audi A1 which I have owned from new 11 months ago. I updated my iPhone 5 to the IS 7.0.4 around 1 month ago and since doing that I now have streaming issues in my car. The connection is via bluetooth, and the music is streamed from my iPhone, however since the update the music cuts out, skips and pauses............
I took the car to a service centre today where it was confirmed a known issue within the Audi network.
So how do we go around this? What do I need in order to stream music without the interference? I am pretty sure Apple wouldn't want to pay my car invoice for the added extras that I purchased in order for me to enjoy my music so surely there must be a way around this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This is not about law, it's about software/hardware. But since you're bringing it up, when Siri was introduced for the iPhone 4s, there was a man in a car using siri with his apple earplugs. I searched for law about this in my country (Netherlands) and it's not forbidden.
Now back to my issue: I want to use a headphone to listen to music and I want to make a call through bluetooth. Iphone doesn't remember I was listening to the music through the headphone. Issue, right?

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

Delay in music streaming?

So I have a wireless music streaming set-up in my dorm room. However, I get a delay in terms of when I start playing a song to when its playing. Its not a major delay but enough to be a noticable difference.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

S705 Bluetooth music streaming auto-answers incomi...

I've got a Motorola Soundpilot S705 Bluetooth music streaming device which I use with my N95 8Gb to stream music (obviously). It generally works fine, but for some reason, calls are automatically answered when the device is active and I do not want it to do this.
I have checked my settings and the device is not set to auto-answer.
My Nokia Bluetooth earpiece works fine without auto-answering calls, which made me presume that the problem lies with a feature on the S705, however Motorola insist that the device does not have a feature/ option for auto-answering calls and that the problem is with the N95 8Gb itself.
Any ideas how I can resolve this issue?

I have the same issue, but I am using a Blueant Z9i wireless headset, on a N95-8g
No matter what I set the option to it still auto answers...drives me crazy.
Tried deleting the device in bluetooth and reseting the bluetooth headset itself.
I called Bueant support, and they stated that was not a problem they have seen.

IP5 music stream to soundbar is choppy

Music streamed from iP5 to LG NB3730A soundbar is choppy, cuts in and out very frequently. At first, the bluetooth connection is solid, but eventually BT disconnects. Distance between phone and soundbar is irrelevant; placing the phone directly in front of the soundbar it still cuts out. I updated soundbar firmware and updated iP5 ios from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, to no avail. My wife's iP4, ios 5.x, also does this but much less frequently. My phone streams music flawlessly to BT head phones and car's bluetooth. LG tech says my wifi extender in the same room is interfering, but disconnecting that didn't help. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any insight into possible solutions? Sounds like a defective soundbar to me. Thanks.

Do you mean the problem persists whichever computer is streaming or do you have two tv's.
Have you tried restarting the tv or indeed the router. Have you considered you may be suffering from interference, have you tried a different wifi channel.

I got an error message recently when I opened my music streaming website (Whisperings PureStream). I've had this service for several years with no problem. The error message said to check proxy settings. Where do I find these settings, to modify or change as necessary?

How to setup my airport for music streaming

Hi all
I would like to use my iPhone and or iPad to stream music from Pandora and Spotify to my 5.1 (Wired) Speakers.
This question is similiar to this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4153687 however i wanted some clarity and thought best to start a new discussion before pulling my hair out doing this the wrong way.
I have an unused Airport Express basestation (A1408) My current home setup is as follows:
Modem Router: (Netgear DGND3700) N600 Wireless ADSL2+ Dual band Gigabit
Home Theatre Computer: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection) NO LAN port
AV Reciever: (Onkyo TX-SR309)
5.1 Speakers: Wired connection to AV Receiver (NOT Airplay capable)
Laptop: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection)
My question is how to setup the airport, i understand it can be used to enable airplay streaming of music over the existing WiFi network, as these music streaming apps download and play music concurrently i would not want to have to switch between to two seperate WiFi networks. Should i plug the airport into the HTPC? I would need to purchase a LAN Splitter as the only LAN socket is already taken up with my cat6 connection. OR would i plug it directly into the modem/router? This second option is prefereable.
I have attached an image of my setup below. Any advice would be great, Regards Steve

Still slightly confused, with the link you provided i chose scenario 2. All the other secanrios instructed i connect the airport express to my home stereo or powered speakers. As i dont have an aiport express only an airport extreme there is no audio jack and cannot connect it to the stereo/speakers.
option 2: Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network as part of a roaming network
Ensure that the AirPort base station Ethernet cables are connected as above
I have done this and conected it via ethernet cat6 to the modem/router
Launch AirPort Utility 6.1. The Assistant will automatically configure the Roaming network
Im using windows 7 and cannot find this version of aiport utility, only 5.6.1 - The message comes up: Aiport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. I am running this utility on my win7 HTPC (which is connected to my modem/router via cat6 LAN) The airport light is blinkng amber.
would you reccommend a hard reset of the airport? or can you provide a link for AirPort Utility 6.1.?
Regards

Does iTunes use wireless music stream if using an Ethernet cable for AE?

Hello,
I have been having trouble with airtunes for some time now. I've tried lots of different things without much success. I think there might be too many wireless networks in my building and I am getting a lot of interference. So i'm thinking of trying a wired method.
If I plugged an ethernet cable from the computer into the Airport Express (which is then plugged into the stereo), does airtunes still send the music stream wirelessly or would it use the ethernet cable instead?
Thanks
WP

1. Will this work (i.e., add wireless to the office and maintain my existing wireless in my home)? If so, what do I need to do? Specifically, do I need to configure WDS and (if so) does 2Wire support this?
What you are attempting to do is actually called a "roaming" network in Apple terms and not WDS. In a roaming network, AirPort base stations are connected together on the same subnet of an Ethernet network. Each base station is setup as a bridge, but share the same network name (SSID) and encryption (if used). It sounds like it should be possible to setup the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a roaming network. The following is how it would be done with AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
- Network configuration: DSL/Cable Modem or Internet Router > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS1 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBS2 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBSn (Note: In your case, you will have a single AX, instead of multiple AEBSs.)
- Setup the second AEBS, as a bridge. (Disable "Distribute IP addresses")
- For each AEBS in the roaming network:
-- Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
-- Provide a unique Base Station Name
-- The Network Name should be identical
-- If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
-- Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next AEBS.
2. Assuming I can, can I have that same AX (i.e., the one connected vis-à-vis Ethernet cable) be used for wireless printing in the office while providing wireless internet? Any special configuration to allow that?
Yes.
3. If this network desire does not work, is there another set of hardware that I should purchase (i.e., a different wireless DSL modem, Airport Extreme, other???).
The configuration as you planned it should work...but, in case it doesn't, I'd recommend that you replace your current wireless router with an AEBS. You can then get either another AEBS or an AX to create the roaming network.

Music Streaming Dropouts

I have started getting extended dropouts during music streaming from iMac to Apple TV. It starts off as a glitchy sound until it finally goes quiet. It will then start back up about 20 seconds where if left off. Appears to be happening in about one minute intervals. I have rebooted wireless router, Apple TV and iMac.

as sir winston suggested, have you checked for _*wireless interference*_ ?
download iStumbler (may not work on 10.6) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those.
FWIW, i have hardwired most of my equipment to my TC. where physical ethernet cables are no option (due to location), i use *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.

A2DP Bluetooth Music Streaming

I've been able to stream music from my iPhone through my car stereo via a Parrot MK6000 hands free Bluetooth device and an iCombi A2DP Bluetooth adapter (Buy at Oakley.com). The iCombi is an adapter for iPods that have the same dock connections as the iPhone so the device works perfectly.
The Parrot device handles the communication between the stereo and the phone, muting the music and allowing the call to be received, while the iCombi adapter provided the music streaming, again that is interrupted when a call comes in.
The biggest draw back is the that you can't charge the iPhone while you have the iCombi adapter attached.
The iCombi adapter also allows you to use Bluetooth headphones to listen to music.
This is a not a perfect configuration, I have experienced some glitches such as the music continuing to play while I receive a call, it still works well enough until Apple provides and update that embraces A2DP Bluetooth.
Regards,
Bob Petersen

A nice suggestion that I may go with but I'm still interested in finding a wireless solution. I'd like to get in my car with music already playing on the phone and have the car stereo pick it up and play through the speakers, then receive a phone call hearing the caller through the car speakers and use a mic in car that would work for my part of the call. All wirelessly. Thats how it works in my wife's car but she has bluetooth so I'm trying to duplicate the capability.
