Why is airplay losing contact with my express units

This is a intermittent problem the music comes and goes and drive me nuts!

The Airport Express requirements for AirPlay are firmware 7.4.2 or later.

  • Why an I losing contact with Firewire drives and camera back?

    One of my computers suddenly won't connect to a Phase One digital back via firewire.
    Tried to plug in a external drive to check the port. No contact. (Tried various cables, etc.)
    Tried camera on another computer. No contact. Tried firewire drives that had been running before on this same computer, and now it won't read these drives.
    My PhaseOne dealer assures me that a digital back can't possible fry or disable a port. Still. there they are.
    Took one of these drives to yet another computer that connects fine with yet another drive, tried the problem drive, and there was no connection. When I checked About This Mac there was a spinning wheel, as though it were looking for something.
    Any thoughts, anyone? I don't want to test more drives if they are being damaged. And if they are, can they be recovered?
    Many thanks

    Hi, John.
    1. I presume in Finder Preferences, in the General tab, you've selected "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" under "Show on desktop." Otherwise, FireWire drives won't display on the desktop, but they should still appear in the Finder's Sidebar.
    2. If you did not Eject the drive before you disconnected it or powered it off, its partition map may be corrupted. That could explain the symptoms you are seeing. Your FireWire-based digital camera back may be seen as a FireWire drive.
    Disconnecting a removable storage device — FireWire drive, USB drive, etc. — without first ejecting it can result in the drive's partition map being corrupted. Before disconnecting such a device, one must first Eject it by either:
    - Dragging its icon to the Trash.
    - Control-clicking the drive's icon and selecting Eject from its contextual menu.
    - In Disk Utility, selecting the device, then selecting Eject in the Disk Utility toolbar.
    If there's data on the drive you wish to recover, see my "Data Recovery" FAQ. Once you recover the data you want to save, if any, you will need to repartition and reformat the drive.
    3. Before you panic w.r.t. item 2 above, Here is some general troubleshooting advice w.r.t. FireWire devices that may help:(1) Review the AppleCare Knowledge Base document "What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device".
    (2) If this problem occurred after installing a recent Mac OS X Update, and you are also unable to mount CDs, DVDs, or disk images perform the steps in this Mac OS X Hints article.
    (3) The following additional steps will often help resolve problems with FireWire devices, particularly hard drives:(a) Power-on the FireWire drive before starting up (booting) your Mac.
    (b) Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
    (c) Reset the PMU or SMU: Select the appropriate knowledge base item for your model of Mac from this KB search. Follow the instructions on resetting the PMU or SMU carefully!
    (d) Try a different FireWire port. James Wiebe, CEO of WiebeTech, has published FireWire Port Failures in Host Computers and Peripheral Devices, a white paper providing backgroud information and technical analysis concerning the causes of failure for FireWire ports. This may provide additional diagnostic information.
    (e) Check with the manufacturer of your FireWire drive or enclosure to see if any firware updates are available for such.(4) Hopefully, the partition map on the FireWire drive is not damaged. If it still refuses to mount, you may need to employ data recovery tools or services: see my "Data Recovery" FAQ.Note that some of the information above is from the "FireWire Problems" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X.
    PS: You've not provided any info about the computer in question, i.e. Mac model, installed RAM, installed version of Mac OS X, etc. That's always important to include in a post, and I suggest you add it to your profile: click "My Settings" in the upper-right section of the sidebar on the right side of this page.

  • Time machine has losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port.

    Recently my Time Machine program has begun losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port. When I attempt to open Time Machine, it indicates there is no external hard drive.  When I click on "setting up time machine" it opens airport utility.   I've tried rebooting, run disk utility repairs for both hard discs, pulled and reconnected the USB cable, even completely shut down the system.    Eventually the two re-establish contact, but I'm not certain what I've done that causes this.  The lost contact appears to happen during the weekends.  The external hard drive is a MJaxtor OneTouch 4. What should I be doing to solve this problem once and for all?

    I use a little app named EasyFind - free at the App Store. It will allow you to search individual volumes or all volumes.
    Download it and see if it will help.

  • Why is internett so slow with Airport express???

    Hi!
    I have a mac mini and a pc.
    I sometimes think that my mac mini is so slow when I use Internett.
    There is a norwegian page that I have tested it on... and the answere was alarmin:
    My pc had a connection of: about 4000 kbit/s connected to wireless and airport express... and about 6000 with out wireless.... hmmmm I tested it many times...
    My mac mini (which is in my livingroom) had a connection at only 919 kbit/s????
    why is it sooooooo slow???? can I do anything to speed it up????

    Great Henry,
    That was great advice, I have been unofficially been working in WiFi for my school and this is one of the most clear responces I've seen from discussions. Anyways some things that I do believe that you forgot was cordless phones 2.4Ghz range, microwave ovens, DSS (Direct Satellite Service), Electrical things like power lines, Other airport/WiFi stations, and moving objects made of metal between the computer and base station. Those are all broad things. Usually things like that won't effect it but it really depends. For the cordless phone you just need to change the channel on the airport. I hope that helps, Good Luck!

    PS I have found that sometimes its just plain wackey, usually cause of wires and such things in the walls

  • Cannot Get Airplay to Work with Airpot Express on PC Laptop

    Until recently, I had Airplay available on both my PC Laptop (Windows 7) and MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.4). I have had to reboot Airport Express because of a power failure. The MacBook immediately picked up the Airport Express and iTines Airplay works fine. However, the laptop cannot find Airport Express, When I run Airport Utiliity, it scans and rescans but cannot locate it. iTunes on the PC does not let me configure for Airplay. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sure ...
    To disable the Windows 7 software firewall:
    Right-click on the Network icon in the System Tray (lower-right corner of the Windows desktop.)
    Click on "Open Network and Sharing Center."
    In the lower left of the Network and Sharing Center window, click on Windows Firewall.
    In the next window, click on "Turn Windows Firewall on or off."
    In the Customize Settings window click on the "Turn off Windows Firewall (not recommended)" option to disable it. (Note: You will return here to re-enable the Windows Firewall.)

    Close the Network and Sharing Center window to return to the Windows Desktop.

  • Clients losing contact with server

    General network:
    We have a 10.6.2 server which provides DNS, AFP, IChat, Open Directory and Print to our internal network 10.6.2 clients which are bound to the OD by the server's IP address. FQDN of the server resolves both forwards and reverse on the server and the clients.
    Clients were migrated recently to 10.6.2 by upgrading them in place from 10.5.8. The server was upgraded in place. The OD was then Archived and Restored to a fresh install of 10.6.2.
    None of the following happened when the clients and server were 10.5.x.
    Strange problem:
    Since moving to 10.6.2, users which are logged in for a long time (3 hours or more) have most of the services periodically fail due to an apparent inability to resolve the FQDN of the server.
    When this happens, I have been able to get Network Utility on the confused client to resolve the server both ways. But then immediately thereafter the client will tell me that it cannot find the location of "FQDN of server" when trying to connect via AFP. Printer service disappears with the same type of problem. Our clients get printers by browsepolling the server by its IP address in CUPS. The print jobs fail when requesting for example : officeprinter@FQDNofServer. User Sync fails due to inability to resolve the server.
    All of this usually goes away by logging out the user and logging back in again. Sometimes Shutting down and rebooting is required.
    I'm assuming that the problem is in DNS but cannot find anything about the inability of the services to resolve either on the client or the server. I may be looking in the wrong place.
    Thanks - Erich

    I was also just having this same problem; even though my local DNS was listed first, the ISP DNS servers were being queried. This was never a problem when I was running Microsoft's DNS server.
    I was always under the impression that the first DNS server in any computer's list was queried first, and then the other ones if there was no record. Why is that not the case after switching to Apple's DNS server? All the computers now seem to be querying whatever the heck DNS server they feel like, instead of going in order they are listed... Is this a known bug that I'm not aware of?
    I fixed it by following the advice in this forum, but at the cost of a crucial piece of functionality: If I ever restart the local DNS server for any reason, or if it goes down, my whole organization will not be able able to browse the internet. Having the ISP DNS numbers in there let me allow for that possibility, but not anymore.

  • Logic losing contact with MOTU 828 (Mk I)

    Ever since installing Logic 7.1, Once or twice a session, Logic stops talking to my Motu 828 (Mk I). I'll be playing something back, or getting ready to record, and the Motu just goes quiet - no signal indicators. If I restart the Motu, the sound comes back, so not the biggest problem in the world, but sure is annoying. I've gotten rid of, then re-installed the Motu drivers, and that doesn't seem to help.
    There have been a few posts about new 828s dropping out, but nothing as intermittent as this. Any ideas?
    Dual 1.25 G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Logic 7.1 MOTU 828 Mk I

    I had this problem with my Motu 828 (mk I) and my previous Imac G4 (700 mhz). Sometimes it could dropout 3-4 times during a session, sometimes it did not happen for several weeks. Buying a new firewirecable instead of the one Motu supplied made the problem be less frequent.
    I came to the conclusion that it was probably a defect firewireconnection on my Imac G4.
    Since I bought my new Imac G5 in november the dropouts has disappered.
    Suggestion: test your 828 with another mac to see if the problems go away.

  • Why is music is skipping with airport express?

    It worked fine for more than a year.  Now my music is skipping.  I have an airport extreme router and airport express on my stereo to stream itunes from my macbook wireless.  It's apples to apples to apples and not working.  Help me apple!

    After trying lots of things to stop the music skipping, such as channel changes and rebooting and restarting and reinstalling what seemed to do the trick was changing the radio mode on my airport extreme from
    802.11n (802.11b compatible)
    to
    802.11n (802.11a compatible)

  • Notebooks losing contact with printers

    I babysit a small group of Macs in my office's otherwise Windows work network.
    Two are Mac Pro (each Intel, quad 2.66). These are occasionally moved around and are connected to our network wirelessly with no problems.
    The two printers these Mac Pros use are a network based HP 8150 and a Canon i9900 attached to & shared by one of the Mac Pros. Again, no problems.
    Here is my issue:
    I have 3 new MacBook Pros that I am setting up. All are set up just as the desktop machines and work fine on the network with exception of the printing. I go through the normal Printer Setup Utility stuff to add the appropriate printers and set defaults. When I shut down and restart, I need to wait a very long time for the printers to appear in my Printer Setup Utility list, sometimes they don't show at all, and sometimes they come & go. It seems that sometimes they see the printers on the network and sometimes they don't. The Mac Pros do not have this problem - printers are chosen and are always visible and available - and are accessing the same network the same way (wirelessly).
    I suspect something amiss in my settings on the notebooks but I can't find it. Any ideas??
    Thanks!
    --Jim

    When you shut down and restart multiple computers, they may get different IP addresses, which usually means re-Adding the printer. Does this sound familiar?

  • Win 7 sp1 workstations losing contact with ZEN-servers

    Lately we have seen more and more of this phenomenon that seems to have been described earlier but I cannot find any clear solution anywhere.
    ZAA is 11.2.3.24691 MU1 or 11.2.4.3271. Happens to ws that are known to have been working ok. ZAA properties goes almost blank, except Agent status show correct IP-address, Device state Managed. Configuration location says Default location, should be something else. Server properties Unavailable, Closest servers no available, no policies, no bundles.
    zac ref "completes" in half a second but nothing happens. If device still has the IP-address that was known to ZEN it shows up green, otherwise "Unable to connect...".
    Wireshark shows little communication with ZEN-servers and only when ws uses same IP-address as is known to ZEN. A refresh produces no communication.

    I sort of have the impression that ZAA actually is working (the services are running) but something else blocks the connection. However, Windows fw is closed and no av software is present.
    Uninstall - reinstall of ZAA normally solves the problem, but this is not very practical and the situation can appear anytime on basically any ws, after which the ws remains in this state. The situation is particularly annoying on desktops with DLU, where the ws is practically useless in this state.

    Uninstall - reinstall of ZAA normally solves the problem, but this is not very practical and the situation can appear anytime on basically any ws, after which the ws remains in this state. The situation is particularly annoying on desktops with DLU, where the ws is practically useless in this state.
    We seen this also on some workstation, zac cc, zac ref and then a restart usually solved it. Have not seen this error anymore after we updated to 11.2.4MU1.

  • Keep losing contact with iTunes

    I have a 160 gb Apple TV synced with a mini with a 500 gb external drive. I have two issues.
    1) Every-time that Watch a video on the mini, the ATV loses its sync with the mini and no longer shows up in the mini's iTunes. I have to close iTunes, reopen and then resync with the mini on the ATV. Very annoying....
    2) How can I tell what files are held on the ATV and which one should just be available to stream? iTunes 7.6 does not allow access to anything but the photos. And this does not even put them onto the ATV.

    I have installed the wifi update but the capsule is connected thru ethernet and not thru wifi.
    So that should'nt make any diffrent.
    When I was using snowleopard the the capsule and my server connected automatic to the Imac after I started the Mac,since lion they don't.
    When I find them on the list in the finder I can open them and then they are connected,but mostly they are not even in the finder list and then I have to restart them and configure them again I am a litlle sick of it.

  • TS1741 Does anyone have trouble with the Remote app losing contact with the iTunes library after it has been connected and working fine for a while. If I go to the computer and turn off sharing, then turn it back on, it will relocate the library again.

    My iTunes remote app on my ipad mini will work fine for a while and then it will lose the library. I then have to turn off sharing on the computer and then turn it back on. This will work for a while and then I will have to repeat the process. Help!

    I have just found the problem to be windows firewall on my library PC
    I can only presume there has been an update to windows firewall or iTunes
    all the relevant programs were on the allowed list
    I'm now currently running with firewall turned off on my library PC.
    I'll update when i have found the rogue setting.
