    Airplay times out when I pause music playback

    Playing ripped music files from my iPhone to an AirPort Express, the connection to the AEX always reverts to the phone if I pause for a few minutes. Auto lock is off on the iPhone. Any way to select an Airplay device and have it stay there, even if I pause?

    I have a Naim Muso 2 and I find Airplay to be quite frustrating from my iPad Pro. In particular the YouTube app really struggles to connect and play (I mostly use it for music). It's marginally better if I route via my AppleTV which is cabled direct to the router. The Muso is also cabled...

    I have the five and sixth generation airport wifi routers and I believe both are called AirPort Extreme. I also believe that although the sixth gen looks different and taller that it does not contain any sort of hard drive inside. With that being said, I hear that both mode also allow for an...

    Suitability of iMac as Extended Display for MacBook Pro
