After iOS 8 update in my ipad mini connects to speaker system wireless but when i start to play a song it immediately shows not connected(disconnects)


I ensure the my wireless speaker system is working fine it plays wireless(Bluetooth) with other devices (Nexus 5)


I have reset network settings as well but not worked.


Please provide solution to address these issues.

If you don't see the AirPlay icon in Control Center:


1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad


2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process


3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process


4. Turn on iPad and test AirPlay

Adding my $0.02 in as well...I've also been having AirPlay issues since the iOS 8 update. I have problems with both my Denon receiver and my Buick Bluetooth. I'll have songs play for a while with no problem but, usually when I go to choose a different song manually, I'll lose the AirPlay connection, and nothing will restore it without having to force quit my Music app as well as turning off and restarting my receiver. I was having no problems before iOS 8.

I'm having the same problem on both my ipod touch 5th gen & my iphone 5c.


I just want to say that they aren't talking about airplay or apple tv, they're talking about a sound system that connects to devices using bluetooth connectivity so restarting apple tv & routers is irrelevant to this post. Mine was working fine before ios 8 but now it connects then immediately disconnects when trying to play music.


The system that I'm working with is from boston acoustics (manufacturer) & it's bluetooth name is xs digital cinema (same device mentioned in the original post)


So if anyone has relevant information or solution, please let me know

Hi

I also have Airplay problem since I updated to iOS 8.

I have an iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2), iPad 4 (iOS 8.1.2), iPad Mini (1st generation) (iOS 8.1.2), and iPhone 4S (iOS 8.1.2).They all have problem seeing my Airplay receivers since I updated to iOS 8. The Airplay receivers show randomly in the control center on my devices. Sometimes they are all here. But most of the time they don't show.

I have 3 Airplay devices : Airport Express 802.11n (2nd generation), Sony CMT-BT80W Radio and Philips AD7000W speaker.

To try a connection : I go to Airplane mode or shut off Wi-Fi. Shut of my airplay device. Reconnect to Wi-Fi. And then if I am lucky my airplay devices are showing again. Most of the time I only see one of the three. And it is not always the same one that shows.


I never had any problem with airplay on my personal network with iOS 7.

Nothing changed on my network or wi-fi configuration. Only updated to iOS 8.


I followed Apple suggestions on support page about Airplay problems :

http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS4215

It did not help at all.


Any help Apple ?
