Q: AirPlay error (-15000)
I have an AirPort Extreme that is connected via Ethernet and Wi-Fi to my iMac. Am am trying to AirPlay my stereo connected to the headphone jack on my AirPort Express that is extending the 5GHz network on the Extreme. I have been doing this without any major problems for the past few weeks (apart from hiccups and pauses), up until today. Everytime I try to AirPlay the AirPort Express, iTunes returns the following message while attempting to connect. "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”. An unknown error occurred (-15000)."
I can confirm that the AirPort Express is well within range and is functioning correctly extending the 5GHz network. I have checked to see if my radio channels are conflicting with any nearby networks, and it is not. Any help?
Thanks,
Drew

I have found a solution for my problem. For this to work, you will have to note that you are disabling IPv6 on your system.
- Use Finder to open the Applications folder
- Select the "Utilities" folder
- Select "Terminal"
- A screen will open. At the prompt, enter the following command to determine all of your Mac's network interfaces: networksetup -listallnetworkservices
- To disable IPv6 for wireless, enter the following command: networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi
- To disable IPv6 for Ethernet, enter the following command: networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
- To exit the terminal window, open the "Terminal" menu next to the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and select "Quit Terminal"
