Zeppelin airplay from windows iTunes 12.1 cuts out

ok, this problem is driving me nuts. I have a stream URL setup in iTunes 12 on Windows 7. I also have a B&W Zeppelin AirPlay speaker (up to date firmware). I can airplay from iTunes to the speakers. Sometimes (not all the time) the stream play just stops with no error. The indicator goes from the Pause button to the Play button. So, I run some tests....
Change iTunes speakers to local. Cut out does not happen.
Reboot router - cut out continues
Run the same stream from my iPad to B&W - no cut outs!
This leads me to believe it is not the stream itself. It is not iTunes or Windows alone and it is not the network or AirPlay.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Any help appreciated...

Try Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support.
And if that doesn't work go for a full tear down and rebuild as follows...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Airplay from phone to ATV keeps cutting out.

When using my ATV and airplay from iPhone 4s the audio keeps cutting out then will play agian. This will happen every 5-20 seconds. I am able to use airplay from my MBP without any issues. I have restarted the iPhone and ATV. I have closed all aps on the phone and tried both streaming and music apps with the same result. All items have the most recent updates. I have an airport express in my shop which there is no issue using airplay form the phone with any aiplay app. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try changing your energy saver settings. Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never. When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off. I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music. I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone. I've seen them as low as $30. Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free). These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs.
If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features. Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house. You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere!

I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc, thankyou

I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc so that I can play it in the house and put it on a cd for the car. I went into the itunes store to play the tune and it cuts out there too. thankyou

Hello there, La Clairiere Feerique.
I understand you are having issues with playback of a purchased song. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song from your computer, then re-download from your purchase history.
To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
Music
Open the section below for the device you are using.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Mac or PC
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Launch iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:

You can verify if you have CoreStorage by executing diskutil cs list in OS X Terminal.

Itunes samples are cutting out after a few seconds

When I sample a song recently, it cuts out after 10-15 seconds instead of the usual 1:30.
Did I adjust my settings somehow or is this a systems issue?
I have tried re-loading Itunes into the latest version, but the problem continues.
Thanks in advance for the help.

thanks Rob but can you provide more info? Do you know where I can find this folder on Windows 7? I checked with the local Helpdesk in my company but they would like more info
Also, is there any help page that gives details such as this?
thanks again

Itunes purchased music cuts out half way through a song.

Hello. I recently purchased two albums off the Itunes store and found that in some tracks the music completely "cuts-out". About 30 seconds of the song plays, then the rest of the track is silent. It happens on both Itunes and on my Ipod. I haven't a clue what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It worked, Thanks!

Airplay from windows-computer?

hello
is it possible to watch films from my windows-computer with airplay and appletv on the tv-screen?
regards and thanks

Windows computers don't support AirPlay Mirroring, although there are third party alternatives.
You can however play any film in iTunes on the computer to the Apple TV either via home sharing or by selecting the Apple TV as a monitor/speaker in iTunes.

Can no longer upload songs to ipod from windows itunes

It was working fine on saturday. Sunday I noticed that while the Ipod was connected, the new albums on loaded on it show up under the ipod contents.
But after disconnecting, they items are no longer there.
In additiona, I was getting the following error message
"The file or directory \ipod_control\itunes\Temp Fill\ is corrupt or unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. "
I ran checkdisk on my desktop, but I think there is something wrong with the Ipod harddrive. What can I do ? Does this mean that I'm screwed ?

Yes I had the same issue about 3 weeks ago after downloading the new version of iTunes on my computer. I have tried every single thing possible and finally I ended up formatting completely my iPod Video and retauring all my music from the computer. I thought for a while that my harddisk was corrupted but everything went fine there after ... good luck. Hope this works.

Help! Transfering iTunes library from Windows iTunes to iTunes on a new Mac

I am sure others have asked this -- I was not able to find it though:
I have a Windows machine on which my whole iTunes library sits (both ripped CD's and downloaded music and TV from iTunes).
I need to move that to my new Mac.
I read the article about using my iPod to do this, but it doesn't seem to work across Mac/Windows. The computers are on the same home LAN. My old machine doesn't have a DVD writer or CD writer, so I can't use that option.
So, is there an easy way to just transfer it over to my new machine?
Also, what do I need to do (and in what order) about de-authorizing my old computer?
The Apple help and online resources are shockingly unhelpful on this topic. Thanks for any instructions you can provide.
Thank you!

After you mount the drive, I'd recommend copying the folder over to your Mac desktop. From there, set iTunes to Copy Files on Import (under preferences). Select File -> Add to Library then choose the whole music folder you copied to your desktop. iTunes will load all the songs into your iTunes library and copy them to the appropriate folder in your hard drive.
When that process is complete, you should be able to delete the folder from your desktop and all your songs will be in your iTunes library.
Hope this helps!

Airplay from MBP iTunes to aTV not working

Greetings
For quite some time now I have not been able to stream from my MBP to my aTV using Airplay. The aTV syncs perfectly with the iTunes library on my MBP.
In iTunes I can see the aTV option in the Airplay/remote speakers drop-down, but I select it the icon flashes blue for just a moment before returning to grey, and nothing is transmitted to the aTV. I have checked and turned off any Airplay passwords I had on the aTV.
I'm not sure whether I'm actually supposed to see the option to stream Youtube videos to the aTV, but I don't.
I have an iPhone that has no problem streaming to the aTV on the same network.
Any thoughts?

Re: Airplay won't work from iTunes
Jul 10, 2012 9:58 PM (in response to Diana1138)
This just started happening to me on one of my macbook pros running OSX Lion. However in Lion, Apple has decided to remove the "off" option from the IPv6 dropdown. You can get around this by issuing a couple commands via Terminal.app
networksetup -setv6off ethernet
networksetup -setv6off wi-fi
Turning off IPv6 via those commands fixed everything. Also, once you do this, the "off" option will start showing up in Network Preferences (should you ever need to change it back and forget the command).

Airplay from 4s no video and cuts off internet connection

Having similar issue after updating firmware and utility. Utility now is not finding ap or ape yet they seem to be functioning. Very odd.

How to re-create playlists from Windows iTune library file?

After importing my itunes library from a Windows 7 sledded HDD, I have all my music etc but no playlists.
The kb article that explains the importing of the library files (itl and .xml) give some warnings about doing this import.
I can see both the xml file and a number of recent itl files on the sledded drive.
Am I going to mess anything up by importing these? It's possible that some of the songs the playlists pointed to are no longer in iTunes (I deleted some beore the import). Is this going to cause a problem.
Will this even work?

Assuming your relocated library is now at *Z:\iTunes Media*, for example, copy the library files that you restored onto drive C: (iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel & Album Artwork folder - ignore the .xml) into the parent of this folder, i.e. Z:\, then click the icon to launch iTunes and *immediately press and hold the SHIFT key* until presented with an option to choose or create a library. Choose the library at Z:\ - all should be well. If I guessed wrong just use your actual media folder & parent of that media folder as approptiate.

Moving subset of music from Windows iTunes to Apple iTunes

Ok, I have to admit, I am a little irritated at iTunes…. I’m hoping there’s an easier way to accomplish such a simple task.
I have a Windows system and link up my video iPod up to it for my tunes.
My wife has a MacBook and a Nano.
I have imported our CD library into my iTunes as I have the space to handle our library on my iPod. My wife went through my library, created a playlist on my pc, and placed her favorite songs into this playlist. I would like to copy her favorite songs over to her mac/itunes/nano. There are about 60 songs she wants that seem to be spread around between 25 artists. Hunting down each file on my hard drive sounds idiotic so I thought I’d just burn the playlist to CD’s….
MUCH to my disappointment, when I ripped them to CD’s I had 2 issues:
1. It looks like the files are just Track01, 02…. Ect… Where did all the relevant information go? I haven’t tried to import it into her Mac yet, maybe an overreaction.
2. 2 of the CD’s burned before my library tanked.
Better way?
Ok, now to my question… It seems kind of silly to take 60 songs that are in a small format, bloat them up, span them across 4 CD’s to be moved over to Mac Tunes, compressed down again to go on the Wife’s mac?
Isn’t there a way I can export a playlist to a DVD in the MP3 or iTunes file format and move over to the wife’s system?
Despite my frustration, I love my iPod and really love my wife’s MacBook!

I have imported our CD library into my iTunes as I have the space to handle our library on my iPod.
You mean you have the space on yoru computer.
RIP from a CD/DVD.
Burn to a CD/DVD.
You need to burn these to a data CD/DVD, not an audio CD.
iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning.

Hey jcaqualung,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes on your Windows Vista machine. The following resource may provide a solution. I would also recommend installing iTunes on the internal hard drive of your computer, as opposed to the external drive.

Error message from Windows "Itunes has encountered a problem...."

...and needs to close. We're sorry for the inconvience."
I have reset, restored my ipod mini, and uninstalled, reinstalled my Itunes.
What is the problem? I can't download any music onto my ipod because this error message shows up and closes Itunes.
HELP!
Dell Windows XP

hi sbeazell!
What is the problem? I can't download any music onto my ipod because this error message shows up and closes Itunes.
if you're getting that particular message when you're trying to sync the ipod, let's get a crash log to Apple so the engineers can look at it.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. Send it to the Discussions Hosts as well as information about what version of iTunes you're using, and when precisely itunes is crashing for you. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context.
let a host know
love, b
