I updated to iTunes 8 and can no longer use airtunes. The support documentation is inaccurate, in addition. Some have managed to fix it by unblocking UDP, but I don't have that option in 10.4.11.

I also had this error on one machine that I upgraded to iTunes 8, so I've held off upgrading the other machine until things get worked out.You don't want to allow all UDP traffic either, just go to (in 10.4.11, not Leopard) Sys Pref, Sharing, click on Firewall. Click New. Port name pull down: Other. TCP Port #s: Leave blank. UDP Port #s: 6001, 6002. Name it what you will (I named mine Airtunes). Click OK. Can't take credit for it as I saw it in another forum fr
HowTo: Resolve error -3256 iniTunes Published September 14, 2008 Apple , Technology 13Comments Tags: 3256, 8.0, AEX, AirPort Express, Apple, Apple TV, error, howto, ipv6, iTunes, Mac, Music, solution, stream, streaming, TCP/IP I have good news for all the annoyed iTunes users out there with error -3256 popping up all the time. Do you also belong to the people being prevented from streaming music over the network to your AirPort Express while maybe syncing with other devices like Apple TV? For all the ones who are fed up with it I have a solution that might work (specifically https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1730748?tstart=0 for Mac OS X Leopard): 1. Go to System Preferences. Choose Network, then Advanced… 2. Click on the menu tab TCP/IP. 3. In the drop down list Configure ipv6 choose Off. Also, make sure that your firewall does not block any incoming connections. If the error persists, turn it off, i.e. activate Allow all incoming connections.

An unknown error occurred (-3256)." The problem has asserted itself following the latest set of software updates. Reading all the threads I can find on the internet, I have determined to the best of my ability that the firewall UDP and network IPv6 settings are not the problem (these are the common fixes for most people.) Very aggravating to have this happen for no apparent reason. Does anyone else have the same issue and possibly a solution?
