iTunes 10.5 AirPlay Issues: won't connect to speakers

Thanks Mike!

Super Solution!

My problem was almost the same as that of thomasfromfreiburgalthough I could sometimes get connected and use airplay e.g. after I restarted the mac with iTunes on it from which I streamed the music. Or may be after a wake up of that system. When I did switch off the airport express and turned it on again I also lost the connection and could not reconnect again.

I run your solution for more than a week now and it just works!

I am glad, my girlfriend is glad and our 2 daughters ar glad! 🙂

Woks Perfect,,,,

Mike - You are awesome. I've been fighting with this this all morning thinking there was a firmware conflict. Thanks.

Hi Again,

Well I got so sick of VISTA that I am now the PROUD owner of a 27" iMac. THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE.

I've been having the same problem with the new imac but found that if you make the changes with itunes open it doesn't fix the problem.

So make sure that itunes is closed when you use this solution and it works fantastically!!! SO HAPPY 🙂

Thanks Mike!

Mike, Thanks. Your advice has helped me, too 🙂

Thanks Mike! works just perfect now.

Disabling ipv6 (on WiFi) seems to work for me, but then my iMac will no longer connect to 5GHz band of my Time Capsule, anyone have similar issue?

Probably CaptaiNemo you have a different Issue review your Channel setup in system info apps:

My MBP is:

Supported Channels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165

If this in no the one the %GHz network is taking you probably are not seeing, if you are using time capsule go to airport utility in wireless option look for 5GHz Channel and change

thanks ezedodo, however I was able to use 5GHz channel when not disabling ipv6 on Wi-Fi.

btw, I have both Apple TV2 and Apple TV3, I verified that AirPlay issue only happens with ATV3 but not ATV2.

Cannot believe it THANKS!! terminal script to turn setv6off for wifi worked like a charm - thought my AEX was faulty as everything else worked. Thanks again.

Dude! This is fantastic! This has been plaguing me for months, and this seems to have fixed my problem. One internet for you! I've posted this to 3 other threads with the same problem. By the end of this you will be showered with Internet accolades, I'm certain.

Woww. Thanks a lot!!

Since maybe 2 month, i was not able to connect to my Appel tv 2 via my iMac, ...

Wifi did not solve it..

but Ethernet did " networksetup -setv6off Ethernet"

🙂

Wow..... this worked instantly for me too! Thanks Mike.....

So angry that I've been putting up with this by power cycling my Mac and/or my airport express to get around it until now..... almost criminal that such a simple fix is available, yet I have to do half an hour of internet searching to find it!!! 😠😟 why is the angry emoticon not available? I'd post 10 of them right now.....

So, for me these problems all started when I turned ipv6 on for my network. Everything worked except airplay from itunes.

I turned it back off and am back to it working. For people who want to run ipv6, what is actually causing this -15000 problem and how do you fix it?

Thanks a lot. I tried this trick some weeks ago and it didn't work. In the menatime I also ran repair write permissions and the HDD through the disk utility. Now setting the network back to v4 cured the problem.

I did see the Airplay icon all the time but was not able to connect to the Airport Express. Finally it worked. Thanks a lot
