TS1398 Airport Express - Airplay issue

While trying to connect to my airport expess from my computer I got an unknown error (-15000) does anyone know how to solve?

Try temporarily connecting a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Do you still just get static? If so, then it may be possible that the AX's internal audio circuitry or audio port itself has malfunctioned. If not, then it could be the cable or your audio receiver/speakers that may be the issue.

  • ITunes 11.0.5 Update and Airport Express AirPlay Issue

    After updating my iTunes to 11.0.5 I receive the following error whenever I try to connect to either of my two 1st Gen AirPort Express units: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device [Airport Express 1 or 2]. The network connection timed out."
    Everything was working fine before updating two days ago.
    Connection is as follows:
    1x AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen) "BaseStation" - v7.6.4
    1x AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Gen) "Basement" - v7.6.4 - Connected to BaseStation via Ethernet - AirPlay Enabled
    1x AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Gen) "Living Room" - v7.6.4 - Connected to BaseStation via WiFi - AirPlay Enabled
    1x MacMini OSX10.6.8 - iTunes 11.0.5 (5) - Connected to BaseStation via Ethernet
    1x MacBook Pro OSX10.7.5 - iTunes 11.0.5 (5) - Connected to BaseStation via WiFi
    iTunes on both the MacMini and MacBook Pro can see the AirPort Express units in the speakers drop down, however when trying to send music to one or both of the units I receive the time out error.
    I've tried all the usuall fixes like restarting/reseting the AirPort devices, restarting the Macs, etc. But I'm still recieving this error.
    Please help. Thank you.

    try to go to this link to download http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    However, many people say they only got 11.0.5 but everytime i click the link it's 11.1
    give it a try

  • Why doesn't my airport express router issue proper DNS server address to DHCP clients?

    I have an Airport express router (version 7.6.4).  It was configured to connect to internet via a cable modem, acting as a router with NAT. This means it obtians WAN address from cable modem, and in LAN it assumes IP address 10.0.1.1 as a gateway, and issue IP address to my 4-5 wireless clients (MBA, iPads, PCs) vi DHCP.
    However I recently encounter an issue, that the router no longer issues DNS server address obtained from Cable Modem(206.x.x.x) but instead tell every DHCP client to use router ip address (10.0.1.1) as DNS server. I was pretty sure before Dec 2013 it is issueing (206.x.x.x) to all DHCP clients.
    Apparently now the Airport express is acting as a DNS server or as a DNS cache. This works sporadically and very often result in long DNS look up or DNS look up failure.
    Is this a bug or is it supposed to do so?  Any configuration can turn it off so Airport express will issue Cable modem obtained DNS server to DHCP clients?
    My network otherwise works fine. for some of the Clients (e.g. one MBA) I configured DNS for it mannually and it's internet is working very smoothly.

    But this will be a problem for my ipad and iphone that uses wifi.
    These devices either allow full DHCP. If you need to mannually enter DNS server, you will need to turn entire IP configuration to mannual and that will be a problem for me.

  • Airport express, airplay, speakers, kill core audio

    hi,
    i have regular computer speakers plugged into my airport express router, and play music via airplay from my iphone and macbook pro.
    i usually select airplay on my macbook pro by holding alt and clicking the volume icon in the status bar, and selecting my airport express.
    sometimes this doesn't work, and my selection won't stick. and instead of restarting and interrupting my wifi each time, i found from a number of google search results and forum discussions to use these codes in terminal:
    sudo killall coreaudiod
    and
    sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`
    to restart the audio driver. they seemed to work, but now a day later, i can connect to the airport, but no audio is coming out of the speakers... neither from my laptop nor iphone.
    i have tried rebooting the computer, and unplugging the router for 30s... and tested the speakers to be working when hard wired. still no luck on the airport express airplay, which did work before i tried the codes.
    any thoughts?
    thanks,

    Same here?
    We have two of the new Mac Minis, one Airport Express and 4 iPhones in the house - and we can use Airplay from both Mac´s to the Airport Express hooked up to the stereo - works fine!
    And we can se the Airplaybutton on the iPhones and the name of the Airport Express - but we don´t get any sound when we push the button and it turns blue?
    We have rebooted alle the devices, made restores, reconnected - but no sound?

  • Airport Express Airplay no longer compatible with iTunes 11.3

    Hi,
    Everything was working perfectly until this morning when I updated to itunes 11.3 (54) 64 -bit, now I open my itunes and try to select my airplay speakers connected to an Airport Express and the message appears "The Airplay device is not longer compatible with this version of iTunes" I have a Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.9.4 installed.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    My iPhone, iPod, iPad and any other device sends the music perfectly through, just my Mac with iTunes is the one having the issue.

  • HT4628 Airport express airplay function

    Just hooked up brand new today Airport Express to function as airplay device to second room stereo.  Have AppleTV for main stero/TV room and Airport Extreme as main wifi both are new (less than a month old).  iTunes will play from fairly new (6mos) and completely up to date OS Lion Airbook to AppleTV fine & it "sees Express" on airplay button in iTunes, but does not show up in Multiple Speakers or do airplay.

  • USB Airport Express Printing Issues - HP Photosmart

    Hi. When I connect my HP Photosmart directly to the iMac thru the USB cable, the Mac printer utility finds it, it can be added and all the utility software from the HP (like measuring ink levels, etc.) work fine.
    When I connect it to the USB airport express port (so that I can print wirelessly from any computer in the house, and the Mac), I have issues. Funny, I have issues with the Mac only, not with the other windows computers (I installed bonjour for windows on the XP machines). But on the Mac, I just can't get the HP utility software to work fine.
    Thoughts?

    The HP Photosmart 7550 I know for a fact is not compatible with Mac clients via Airport Express. I wrestled with it for days.
    Works fine connected via USB to the Mac.
    Works fine via USB or Airport with Windows XP.
    Does not work via Airport with Mac.

  • Can someone recommend a powerline adapter that works w/ Airport Express/AirPlay?

    I recently purchased the Netgear Powerline 500 Nano PassThru Dual Port (XAVB5602-100NAS) and it works fine when I connect it to another computer in my house, but when I connect it to my 1st Gen airport express to use AirPlay through my stereo receiver the connection fails and it disconnects my internet connection over my entire network. Any suggestions? I'm trying to "hardwire" my network to my stereo because i'm getting frequent disruptions running it purely via wifi.

    Let's start over, please, working from the cable modem outward.
    It sounds like Express A is working fine right now with the cable modem Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port on the Express A. Test to confirm that the wireless is working on this Express.
    Plug one powerline adapter into an AC socket near the location of Express A. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on Express A to the Ethernet port on the powerline adapter.
    Plug the other powerline adapter into an AC socket near the location where B will be located.
    Test to make sure that the Ethernet powerline adapters are working correctly.
    To do this, temporarily turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the powerline adapter near the location of Express B using an Ethernet cable.
    See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop this way. If you can, then that confirms that both powerline adapters are functioning correctly. If you cannot get an Internet connection this way, more troubleshooting will be needed before we can proceed with the installation of Express B.
    Post back on your progress. We'll need to know what operating system you arre using on your Mac or PC to be able to provide instructions to configure Express B.
    If you have a Mac, but do not know what operating system it is running, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Click About This Mac, then look for the OS X Version number and post back with that info.

  • Multiple airport-units - Airplay issue.

    My network consists of one airport extreme and one airport express unit.
    I am located quite far from the main unit (extreme), so I'm using the express as an network extender, or a "repeater" as you might call it. The express also doubles as my airplay receiver. So far, so good.
    My brother, who is located closer to the extreme automatically gets connected to the express, (since it is even closer). The problem is that whenever I use airplay, his connection to our network gets really unstable and laggy (Since the airplay function occupies at least 150 kbit/s of upload to the express). And he's giving me **** about it.
    My question is: is it possible for my brother to bypass the airport express connection, and directly connect to the airport extreme, while still charing the same network?
    Hope that wasn't to confusing!
    Cheers!

    Hi,
    Yes its possible.
    Solutions is: As per my experience you have to create a Business Role. (EX: If you have 3 Units under your organization) Every Unit u have to create a Business Role and you have to maintain Role Cofig., key After done Role Cofigar you have to assign to Business Role.
    Role Cofig., - IMG->CRM->UI Frame work->UI framework Definition ->Define Role Configuration Key
    You assign role configuration keys to business roles in the IMG:
    Customer relationship management > Business roles > Define business roles
    Thanks

  • Apple TV Airport Express Connection Issues. Help!

    So I've been having trouble with my Apple TV a lot lately. I finally figured out what the issue seems to be I think but I'm not sure how to fix it. I live in an apartment complex and I have an Airport Express in my place and it's set currently to "Off (Bridge mode)" because the complex has a router that is assigning the Ip addresses for my items. Now for some reason my Apple TV will say it has connected to the internet but it just brings up the Computers and Home Sharing screen so obviously it is not connected. I've played with the settings before and for some reason it'll work when the Router mode is set to "DCHP and NAT" but then the internet turns to crap because of the conflict it creates between the router and the Airport Express. My question is if anybody knows any settings i need to change to make Apple TV function normally like all my other electronics do on Wi-fi when Airport Express is on bridge mode. I've hard reset the Airport Express and updated it as well as reset and restored the Apple TV.

    You might want to try changing the channel you use for wi-fi to see if that helps.
    You may be able to work around the issue as well by playing the audio from your tv rather than from your computer through the tv. By playing the audio from the tv it will build a buffer on the tv which will likely overcome any breaks in streaming, playing from the computer is live streaming if you see what I mean.

  • Problems with Airport Express & Airplay

    Hi Guys, I'm having a lot of problems using my Airport Express as a bridge, and Airplay.
    I have a wireless network set up with various repeaters through our (large) house, and wanted to set the Airport Express to extend the wireless range into the kitchen, and to work as an Airplay port for the stereo which is next door.
    The main network is a cable modem into a wireless router, which is then repeated with 85M PLC Adapters throughout the house. 
    Had alot of trouble setting up the express unit - have re-set it to default settings numerous times. Managed to get it set up to repeat the signal and act as an airplay once, but the performance was very poor - i.e. sound dropping out, losing connection. It also wouldn't connect using iphone or ipod, again even when it had 4 bars wi fi reception.
    I then tried setting it up purely to join the existing network, not to repeat it. and act as an airplay port; and it connected, said it worked, but then I couldn't play any music through it, and it went back to flashing orange.
    The Airport Express is in the same room where I'm typing this and has 5 bars of wi-fi signal strength.
    I've tried the few things I know - anyone got any bright ideas?

    Network
    Plug the AE next to the PLC and connect it to the Ethernet port of the PLC.  Configure the AE to operate in bridge mode.  If your PLC doesn't offer an Ethernet port, use one like the Netgear XAVN2001.  If it's already taken, you will need a 4 port switch.  You will also need a long 3.5mm audio cable if the amp is not in the proximity of the PLC, available from Amazon for under $5.  Finally, create a separate wireless network on the AE.
    Client
    Connect the client to the AE's wireless network, not your existing network.  The client in this case is an iPxd or other computer with iTunes or Airplay/similar PC.
    The above basic configuration works flawlessly in my experience.  If the Client is to distant from the AE's wireless, you can, as a second step, connect it to your existing network, but be forewarned that in this scenario dropouts abound and the AE frequently disappears from view.

  • Internet sharing + airport express printer issues

    I have a MacMini connected to my DSL-modem and share the internet connection with my MacBook. My Airport Express is connected only to my printer and set to be a part of the network that my MacMini shares. Everything works fine except that my MacMini doesn't seem to find my printer. Printing wirelessly via the MacBook works fine.
    I've got the printer to work on the mini if I share the printer on my MacBook. But this setting isn't ideal becouse the macbook isn't always around when the printer is needed.
    Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

  • Airport Express Airplay

    I've connected my Airport Express directly to a speaker but would prefer it to be connected to a pair of speakers as a stereo is. How can I do this?

    The speakers are on seperate sides of the room, so presumably a Y cable wouldn't reach both. I'd prefer to plug it straight into the stereo to be honest (it does have aux option but the cable doesn't seem to work when plugged into it). The stereo is a Bang & Olufsen Beosound Ouverture.

  • Airport Express N issues with Cat5e

    I have a netgear router and the new Airport Express N. Everything works fine when the AirPort is connected directly to the router with a patch cable CAT6. Then I take the airport upstairs and plug it into my CAT5e jack and the Airport says its not plugged in.
    I can unplug the airport and plug in my macbook pro or even my dell laptop and everything works just fine from that very same CAT5e jack.
    What gives?
    I really want to have the Airport upstairs so I can get a better wireless signal from it, but it refuses to work in any of my CAT5e jacks when everything else does just fine.

    Your information is not new nor unexpected.
    Headphones are not "speakers" in the general sense and require very little input to drive them.
    In a similar vein, you can connect headphones to your iPod with no problems. But if you want to use speakers and get any reasonable output you must use powered speakers.

  • AirPort Express AirPlay over network with extender

    I'm running a wireless network which includes a Netgear signal extender.  With the extender, I have two wireless networks visable:
    network name (primary wireless router) & network name_EXT (extended wireless signal)
    I purchased the AE for AirPlay and have it hard-wired (RJ-45) into my router.  When our devices are connected to the primary wireless network the AirPlay function works perfectly, but when the devices (iPad and iPhones) connect to the extended network (network name_EXT), the AirPlay doesn't work. 
    The AE is connected by an RJ-45 cable and is on the same network... it seems to me the wireless network shouldn't matter. 
    Any suggestions to get this to work on the _EXT network?
    Thanks.

    It seems as though, from my experimentation, that Airplay connects to another device through the MAC address and *not* the IP address. There are benefits of using both types of connections (which I won't get into), but the biggest problem with using the MAC address in this case is the that, on most networks (practically everything except for those using WDS), the MAC address of the device in question gets masked as the same MAC address of the router it is connected to. This is bad because when the computer looks for a specific device, (again assuming that Airplay checks for MAC addresses) it will only see the router's MAC address instead of real device's MAC address.
    To clarify, say you have two networks, A and B, where A is where the IP addresses are assigned from, usually the router that is either connected to the modem or is the modem itself. Each has its own SSID, A and B respectively. Wireless device WA, which has Airplay, is connected to network A. Wireless device WB is connected to network B and is trying to wirelessly connect to WA. As I mentioned previously, most networks won't be set up with WDS (which preserves the MAC addresses). As WB looks for WA to send the music over Airplay, it won't be able to fully connect because it is trying to send it to the wrong MAC address (of router A) despite it seeing the device. I suspect WB sees WA because it can see WA's IP address.
    Now, I haven't been able to confirm this theory with any Apple representative because, after all, they are mostly not knowledgeable in the intricacies of the devices networking. I'm sure if they forwarded the question to an Apple engineer, we would be able to get a concise answer as to why we are having this issue...
    I can only hope they will fix this issue before we are forced to buy more hardware to support WDS
    But again, this is just my theory, I have no evidence except for knowing that my network is all on the same subnet but the MAC addresses are transformed... it may have something to do with the DD-WRT set-up I have.
