Unknown Error -15006 on airplay from iTunes
An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Base Station *****"
I recently connected AirPort Express to my i5 and get this error when trying to use AirPlay from iTunes.
Please Help?!
Thanks for the suggestion. The default position of the IPv6 was "link-local only", and I changed it to HOST. I gave it a try and all features worked great for a few hours. Then, suddenly, the AppleTV no longer supported airplay. It could still see my home shared iTunes library, and I had full internet access (NetFlix worked fine). Later in the day, the AppleTV could not find my home share volume. Other internet access still worked fine. Internet speed tests from my iPad showed over 6MB/sec download speed and 2MB upload speed, so the internet connection seemed fine.
If I plugged in an Airport Express cube, the music option of AirPlay showed up on my iPhone 4, but still no AppleTV. The AirPlay option on the AppleTV was still turned ON.
The next morning, the AppleTV could see my iTunes database, but still AirPlay did not work.
In fact, I've had only had AirPlay trouble (though iPhone, iPad, or iTunes) with the AppleTV, and only since installing the Gen4 TimeCapsule and Lion.

Unknown error whilst loading songs from iTunes...
Hi,
I have some issues with downloading songs to my nano from iTunes. I have recently done all updates on both iTunes and iPod... Done a iPod reset... The iPod begins to download from iTunes but only gets about 90 songs into the download and the following error message appears...
Error Message: attempting to copy to disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-81)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated
lg LS50a Windows XPEr... it seems to have fixed itself. ^_^
Restarting iTunes a couple times did the trick.
If a mod sees this, please delete this topic. Thank you -
What is "an unknown error occurred (4002)" received from iTunes store?
When I turn on iTunes, I get the following message, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (4002)." I have no downloads pending or anything else that I know of. Can't figure this out.
Can try turning iTunes Match off and then if you have Genuis on turn it off - then turn itunes match back on
Hope it helps -
Hi guys & girls,
Yesterday I bought an Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation); solely for the purpose of listening to my music without connecting any cables to my speakers.
I've done the set-up (i.e. linked the AE to my existing network without any Ethernet) and connected the AE to my speakers, and the light turns green. However, when I try to make a connection in iTunes to the base station, I get the following error: 'An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Base Station 5bf269”.'
I'm quite a noob with computers and the technical aspects, however, I normally get around by googling and trying out some things. I've tried the following things already:
- Downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to change the IPv6 to Host (Configuration is set on automatic)
- Firmware update for the Airport Express to 7.6.1
My iTunes version is 10.6.3, am using MacBook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4. I really have no clue what could be wrong and how to fix this. I'm only sitting 2 meters away from the AE so it cannot be about the range. Can someone help me please?
Thanks!!No more need for an answer... the problem has been solved!

I reset my airport express to factory settings, reconfigured it and then try to play it and this message popped up. Where do I go from here? "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “John Knox's AirPort Express”.
No more need for an answer... the problem has been solved!

Please help. I have been having major difficulties with my Airport Express. It used to work fine but for the last year or so it continually disconnects, skips and ultimately drops out and itunes gives me this message "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”. I keep resetting, unplugging, restarting Itunes, or my computer. It works for a couple of hours and then I get the message again. It's making me nuts and was a bummer at last week's party when we had no music, yet again. I have looked up the support discussions, but there is no answer as to how I can fix it. I am currently using Mt Lion OS. Does this have anything to do with it? Checked for software updates, but nada.
Any suggestions.It may be possible the where you have the AX located may just be in a spot where it does not get a good signal even it is only 8 feet away.
I suggest that you download and install iStumbler. You will use it to determine the signal quality by making Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements. This will be easiest if your Mac is a laptop ... or you can borrow one. When taking the measurements, you only want your "main" AirPort running as this is what we want to measure at the location of the AX.
SNR (in dB) = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm)
You can easily find the Signal and Noise value using System Profiler on your Mac laptop.
ref: Click on the Apple icon on the menu bar > About This Mac > More Info... > Contents > Network > AirPort > Interfaces > en1 > Current Network Information > Find your wireless network > Signal / Noise
While your still in the System Profiler, note the value for Transmit Rate.
These values should be negative numbers. For example, mine currently read: -67 dBm / -95 dBm, with a transmit rate of 27 (Mbps). Plugging in these numbers yield: SNR = -67 - (-95) = 28. My Mac Mini is about four rooms away from my AEBS with about five walls between them. As you can see, the signal is still quite useable ... but the bandwidth is minimal, especially for streaming.
SNR Guideline
40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal

An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Frontera Speakers".
I have seen several threads that address problems connecting an Airport Express to an existing network. However, I have had no luck with any of the suggestions. I have configured at Airport Express base station as an AirPlay device. The unit shows up as connected in Airport Utility 5.6 and can be selected through iTunes. After several moments of displaying a dialog box indicating a connection to remote speakers the following error is displayed in the finder: An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Speakers" Airport Utility lauches automatically and displays the following error: Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again.

I have rebuilt permissions and reset the airport multiple times. At a loss.

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your computer. -

LOADS OF PROBLEMS WITH AIPORT EXPRESS
An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”.I had the same issue, started getting the error after my Airport Express had been working perfectly for over two years.
On another post in this site, someone advised disabling IPv6.
System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> Configure IPv6 to OFF
This instantly fixed the streaming for me. Not sure why or if it will work for AppleTV.
Hope this helps. -
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.
