Q: iTunes 12.3.3.17 not playing through Airport Express
Hi,
I am currently having difficulty playing music through my Airport Express; Current set-up: MacBook Pro (2012) with OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 using iTunes 12.3.3.17 and using an Airport Express (7.6.5 - connected to my stereo) and Airport Utility (6.3.6).
I initially had problems connecting the MacBook to the Airport Express and after searching on the discussion topics found that I had to change the network settings (System Preferences>Network>Advanced>TCP/IP Changing the IPv6 settings from off to Automatically or Link-local only) solved this. Unfortunately the only solution near to what I was trying to do involved turning the IPv6 setting to off, which then stopped the MBP talking to the AE.
iTunes has the choice of connecting to the Airport Express but when I try I get the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the Airplay Device. The network connection timed out."
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
