Streaming from iTunes to AirPort Express interrupted with good conectivity

I connect from my iMac to a radio in the kitchen via AirPort Express. The stream from iTunes is interrupted ever so often and the second speaker in AirPlay is dimmed. The connection to the AirPort Express remains excellent throughout. Restarting helps, but then it tends to happen again. Sometimes after an interruption it starts working again. I did not notice any specific timing or other activity on my iMac that could cause this.
Any ideas?

besides changing the radio channel used, also try this:
open system preferences
open network pane
select airport in the left list
click the advanced button
go to the TCP/IP tab
set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
click OK
click apply
now try again to connect to your remote speakers.

  • HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

    In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
    My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
    thanks,

    Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
    iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

  • Intermittent issue streaming music from iTunes to airport express

    I'm experiencing an issue when streaming music from my iMac to two airport expresses (1st generation). Music will be playing fine but once in a great while, when a new song starts it's like a digital bomb has gone off. It's similar to an amber alert coming through the speakers instead of music. When I stop the song and start it again, back comes the music. This has happened to many different song files so I've discounted the possibility that it's a corrupted file. I've not been able to determine any other pattern that would give me some insight into the root of the problem. The problem has existed across two different routers so doubtful that’s a factor either. All my software (iTunes and OS) are up to date and generally the system works well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or advice? I’m at a loss on how to resolve.

    Update: this problem exists when just listening to music on iMac with iTues; no airport express or network involved. Something, somewhere in the software is causing this.

  • AirPlay from iTunes to AirPort Express not working

    AirPort is connected with my network and fully working. I also set up AppleTV, which also is fully working and can mirror both my computer and iPhone. In order to play music from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (which is also connected to the network), I clicked the AirPlay button and received the following message: "An unknown error (-15006)occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device 'AirPort Express'". How do I get my iTunes on my MacBook Pro to connect?

    I finally resolved this myself. It was somehow "stuck" on a playlist. I could not stream from the main library, but once I tried to stream from that particular playlist - the whole thing started working again. Now I can stream from the main library and other playlists. A very strange quirk. I did rent a movie in iTunes last night for the first time and I had been streaming from that playlist prior to starting the rental movie - and I think somehow it must have gotten "stuck." Hopefully it is a bug no one else experiences because it wasted an hour of my time today.

  • Streaming from MacBook to AirPort Express

    Hey, I need your valuable support.
    My old B&W Zeppelin does not have the new AirPlay function therefore I bought an AirPortExpress to stream the music from my devices (IP4, IPAD and MBpro) to the Zeppelin. The configuration went well, streaming from IP4 to Zeppelin via AirPortExpress works great. But from Itunes on my MacBook.... it is not working. I can "see" the device in the AirPort configuration tool and I can choose the Zeppelin in Itunes, but then a window opens with an mowing bar saying "Connection to Zeppelin", but nothing happens. I created no password for the speakers......
    What can I do to solve the problem, doing a reset does not help........ ****...
    Has anybody an idea?
    Many thanks from Germany...

  • Streaming from iMac to airport express

    I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but I just bought an airport express for the purposes of streaming music from my iMac to speakers in another room. What I'm wondering is how to set up the Express to facilitate this without having to buy a wireless router. I get the impression from posts I've read elsewhere that it can be done, but I haven't been able to find out how. My iMac is brand new, so it came with an airport card pre-installed, and it is connected to the internet directly from my cable modem (no wireless network to speak of).
    Any help offered will greatly appreciated!

    Nevermind, it's been solved

  • No sound on wireless connection from itunes to airport express

    Just configured a new AX to Linksys WRT54GSV4 using WDSremote, got a solid green light, airport's setup and admin programs v4.2 both see AX with linksys IP from DHCP. When playing itunes v6.0.1.3 I have a speaker choice of My Computer or Airport Express. to AX keeps saying connecting to "Airport Express" at the top and then the song progress bar shows but doesnt move as well as no audio. Audio does work on My Computer and to AX if I connect using the ethernet jack. Why no wireless audio?

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • How can i play audio from movies from atv2 to airport express?

    Music from atv2 to airport express appears to work okay, but not audio from movies.

    Thanks.  Seems odd that apple allow music to be streamed through itunes to airport express but we cannot play the audio from movies through itunes.

  • Can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet?

    can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet? just from phone to express via local network or whatever it's called.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • I am using an airport express to stream from iTunes to my stereo.  My router is a net gear type G.  Setting up is no problem for the first time.  But, when I close iTunes then restart I have to reset (using the reset button)and reset up.  Wanna do it one?

    Using a. Airport express to stream from iTunes.  My Router is a Netgear type G.  The express sets up fine and works the first time.  When I try to use it at a later date after closing then reopening iTunes I have to physically reset the express and then go through the process of finding it again.  Is this normal? 

    I have a 3rd generation (802.11n capable, 2.4Ghz only) airport express, my problem is that I've tried using it to extend my network and that brick wall, no matter how close I get the express to the room, the signal and throughput in that room becomes abysmal.
    As you might imagine, brick is a lot like cement, and it will not allow much of the wireless signal through.
    Regarding your Express, there is no such thing as a 3rd Generation model....yet. You likely have a 1st Generation AirPort Express. Check and confirm the Model No on the side of the Express. A 1st Gen model is A1264.
    Here's my problem, I don't think the express supports "extending" a network from a wired network jack.
    The Express can "extend" wirelessly, or using an Ethernet connection. The configuration for this is very simple, but post back if you need it.
    The jack just seems to be shut off
    Have you temporarily turned off the wireless on a laptop and tried to connect it using an Ethernet cable to the wall jack as a "test"?
    If you can get a good Internet connection this way, then you know the Ethernet cabling and jack are working correctly.
    On the other hand, if you cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop during this "test", then this indicates that the Ethernet cable or jack is not functioning correctly and the wiring will need troubleshooting before you can proceed any further.
    I need to create a whole new wireless network in this room for this configuration to work?
    AirPort Setup will take care of this for you automatically during the configuration of the AirPort Express.
    If I have an apple TV connecting to the express and an AppleTV connecting to the extreme, will they both be visible when connected wirelessly to either network?
    Yes
    Will I be able to connect to my network seemlessly?
    Yes
    Post back after you have confirmed that the Ethernet cable and Ethernet jack are functioning correctly in the temporary "test" mentioned above.  Then, we will continue.

  • Airport needs to be on to stream from iTunes

    I have a network with a Time Capsule as my DHCP server. I use one LAN connection to connect to a Netgear gig switch. Two of the computers in the house are connected to this switch. From one port on the switch I have an ethernet line that runs to behind my TV so I can have a connection for Apple TV and the satellite dish box. From the switch behind the TV I ran an ethernet line to the iTunes Server in the basement. Before I got the Tim Capsule I had an Airport Snow and I was able to stream from the iTunes Server over ethernet to the airport and then signal went from there to the four Airport Expresses. With the Time Capsule I have only been able to stream if I have the Airport turned on the iTunes Server. Any idea how I can get back to using ethernet to stream to Time Capsule?

    If you use "Preferred Networks," instead of "Automatic" for your "By default, join" setting, try the following:
    - Delete all preferred networks with encryption
    - Add them again after manually connecting
    (Note: It will be faster if you turn on "Automatically add new networks to preferred networks list" under "Options" of the AirPort network connection.)

  • Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello ricsch,
    It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from your iPhone 5.  I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
    Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
    How to Set It Up
    Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
    From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
    Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
    I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:

  • Streaming iTunes to Airport Express - Audio Hiccups

    I have a Netgear wireless router connected to my PC, and, at the other end of the house, a Hawking Range Extender.  My Airport Express syncs with the range extender so that I can access my iTunes library on the PC and play through my sound system (where the Express is located).  I am using the Airport Utility on my iPad to access and play from iTunes.  All signals are strong, but when iTunes is streaming there is a "hiccup" every 10-15 seconds in the audio.  This is a very momentary pause.  Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, were yoiu able to resolve it?

    you can only stream music to an airport express if you have selected that network from your list under the airport icon at the top of your screen... so if you have selected your itunes network then you obviously can't also be part of another wireless network to use the internet. The only way to do this is to make your itunes network a part of the network which is used to access the web. Airport express has profiles which enable you to setup multiple settings so when you take your airport into the office, reconfigure the airport using airport admin and have it 'join' your office network and make sure you give it the same network name as your office one. Then from your airport network list select the name and you will be able to both listen to music and surf.
