what can I replace it with?

SONOS has been down for almost a year over this, the installer I used says SONOS no longer works with apple products.

what have other people done to get the system working again, its an extensive installation with amps, speakers throughout out the home.

maybe there is some after market software that can restore the use of older IPADS?

the weird thing is it works off my iPhone, but i want to use the in wall IPADS again.

any suggestions much appreciated, I did search the topic and its seems there are only pissed off customers and no solutions.

I need a solution. Many thanks in advance.

    It would be difficult for a 3rd party (in this case SONOS) to know when Apple will render a particular feature obsolete. Even if someone uses only Apple products, after a few years the older products will become obsolete. By the way, the original SONOS player from 2005 is still supported.

    Isn’t this simply Apple forcing their 'customers' and 'developers' to move to 64bit architecture and some Apps on the now old iPad and iPhones are no longer working.

    My guess is the developers are just heading where they are being told to go and it’s far too costly to keep the old Apps compatible with Sonos hardware, that is constantly trying to move forward with the times and stay ahead of the game.

    Once you’re on the technology track, you have to pay out from time to time to stay on the train. It’s becoming a fact of modern life.
