How to fix the -15006 error when playing to remote speakers.

A quick fix that worked for me was to click the wifi symbol in the system bar (top right of computer). I turned the airport off – waited a second, then turned it back on. Having iTunes off during this process seems to help as well.

MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks bitwise.

AirTunes works by first "finding," and then, establishing a secured communications link between the iTunes host and the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or Apple TV. Once this link has been established, it can then start the streaming process. Also periodically through the streaming, AirTunes checks to see if the link is still valid.

Most likely, something occurred to break this link, and thus the error message. By using the AirPort icon, you basically "forced" a break between the iTunes host and the AX. This provided AirTunes with an opportunity to re-establish the link, and then, to continue on with the streaming.

Hi all,
Have the same issue since i've updated iTunes to 10.1. Impossible to stream the music through airtunes on an airport express 802/11g. I spent my week-end to try everything I could : update firmware of the AE to 6.3, checked network prefs, security prefs, IPV6 to auto, then to none, restart all, ...
Same issues with Windows XP, and another PC on W7. HOW CAN MAKE AIRTUNES WORK AGAIN ???
