Apple TV and multiple speakers on Airport express

Hi,
I'm using Apple TV3 and 10.8.3 Mac with Itunes 11 and would like the flim audio to play on multiple (3) airport express' with speakers attached around the room all on same Wifi.
Is this possible?
Thanks

As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

Multiple speakers for airport express

I'm trying to connect multiple speakers from my Itunes but I can't get it to work. I can get one or the other to work but I can't get both to work at the same time. I updated the software for A-express, still doesn't seem to work. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
thanks

Hi
I have been having the same problem since I purchased an Airport Express. You can select one or the other speakers, but an error message comes up if you try and select both.
It is rather more annoying given that I have 'remote' on my iPod Touch which completely locks up if you try and change the speakers.
I have had no luck getting Apple to understand the issue - despite several emails and phone conversations with support. Ultimately I consider it to be a software development issue.
Hopefully they are reading these posts!!

Multiple Speakers on Airport Express

Hi everyone
I have recently purchased a second Airport Express so I can now stream my music to 2 different locations in my apartment. In iTunes I now have the option of streaming to Multiple Speakers. When I try to select this option only one of my Airport Express Stations will allow multple speakers to be played. I get the errors message
"....The current remote speaker Paul's Lounge does not support playback as part of a group..."
Is this due to the fact that the Airport Express is slightly olders - I didn't know there was an update to the cababilities of this model. Or can this be remedied with a firmware update of some kind.
I hope someone can help as I'd love to have music playing in my Lounge and Bedroom simultaneously.
Many thanks
Paul

Hello Paullyk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is this due to the fact that the Airport Express is slightly olders - I didn't know there was an update to the cababilities of this model. Or can this be remedied with a firmware update of some kind.
To support multiple speakers, the AX must be running v6.3+ firmware & iTunes v6.0.2+.
(ref: AirPort: Which version of firmware is on the base station?)

Multiple Speakers with Airport Express

Since the release of iTunes sometime back in feb/mar, I'm so happy to be able to stream music through multiple speakers in different rooms in my house. However, since I installed the latest iTunesSetup dated 2006-06-28 release v6.05, I am unable to play to more than 1 set of speakers, sometimes even only limited to "My Computer". The error message was something like 'could not access the speaker'.
I've also doublechecked latest firmware and there was none released after http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63forwindows. html
I don't see anyone here with similar problems since there seems to be none posted after Jun 28 on this issue.
Can any expert help?

# Click the Firewall tab.
# Click the Advanced button.
# Make sure that the option to "Block UDP Traffic" is not selected.
Thks so much for the reply! My PCs are behind the router and the firewall is not on in this case. I do use the zonealarm normally for other PCs.
As far as I know, on XPProSP2 we can unblock UDP traffic and normally need to specify which ports though, not universal unblock.
Any other clues?

How to connect to multiple speakers using Airport Express

Hi -- I have two AP Express modules setup and working in my household. I have no problems using either from my iBook G4.
How do I use them both at the same time? I cannot find an appropriate way to set this up?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Since you are at 10.4.7, I'm assuming iTunes is at least 6.0.2. If not, upgrade the app via Software Update or Apple's iTunes site to the latest v 6.0.5.
Since both units work individually, I'd say the problem lies in how the 2 units are configured. Are you using the latest 6.3 firmware for Airport express? To determine your version, download the firmware, select install. The ensuing panel will tell you the latest version for your units. Upgrade if you are using an earlier version of the firmware.
Post back with results.

Multiple Speakers w/Airport Express

I upgraded from OS 10.4.7 to OS 10.4.9 and now cannot stream airtunes to remote speakers AND internal speakers at the same time. Before the upgrade it worked fine. I'm using iTunes 6.05 (don't like version 7). Anyone seen this? How to fix?

SCTS, thankyou so much. I had the same problem and figured it was somehing to do with the firewall but not being that technical I could go no further. Its funny how the simple things can be so frustrating! Cheers Ian

Advised to get an "extender" to be able to stream netflix, etc. through new digital tv. Apple store told me to buy Airport Express and set up WDS. Upon reading about WDS it stated cannot set up WDS with Airport Express 802.11n,

I was advised I needed an "extender" to stream Netflix, etc. through my newly purchased digital TV. Apple store advised me to buy Airport Express and choose WDS setting. When reading instructions on how to set up WDS it states cannot set up WDS with an 802.11n airport express, which is what they told me to purchase. How do I set up this Airport Express to extend my internet signal from my modem & airport to be able to stream internet capability to my TV?

Connecting speakers thru airport express

I have airport express and want to play the same music as on my apple tv in another room. I plugged the speakers into airport express and clicked on multiple speakers but it does not work. Any clue?

launch airport utility and enter manual setup for the express, then go to the music tab.
is there a checkmark in the little box next to enable AirTunes ?

Can't connect itunes to my remote speakers thru airport express

After having updated the latest itunes 7.3 my itunes does not recognize anymore my remote speakers and does not connect to them.
Have resetted my airport, to no avail. still, itunes does not recognize it.
please advise what to do as it is very annoying, when you make updates that your old configuration stops working.
many thanks

I had the same problem. It used to work without any problems but then stopped for no apparent reason. I tried resetting and hard-resetting the Airport Express (AX) many times, but no success. Plus the Airport Utility would never show the Airport Express once I configured it to join the exisiting wireless network (in my case a Airport Extreme).
Anyway finally this worked for me:
1) Hard-resetting the AX
2) Start Airport Utility and find the AX. But instead of going throught the guided steps to set it up, double click on the AX symbol and to set it up manually. Yo will see 5 icons in the meny bar - Airport, Internet, Music, Printers, Advanced.
- Airport --> Base Station: In give it any name and password.
- Airport --> Wireless. Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network. Select it below and the appropripate security settings and password.
- Music --> Enable AirTunes. Leave the rest alone.
3) Click Update. Close the window and wait until the AX restarted. (solid green light)
4) Let the AirPort Utility rescan the network.
5) Restart your wireless base station/router (as I said, in my case Airport Extreme. If you have another base station you may have to do it manually)
6) Start iTunes and presto you will see the remote speakers
7) Let AirPort Utility rescan the network. Presto, you see both the AX and the base station.
My setup: MacBook OS 10.4.10, Airport Extreme and Express, HP with WinXP Pro. Can also stream music form iTunes on the HP.

How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

You can connect the Bose to the AirPort Express with either a digital optical or analog audio cable. For best sound I would recommend the digital connection.
Your Bose speakers should already come with a digital optical audio cable with TOSlink connectors on either end. Either get a 3.5 mm to TOSlink adapter for the end that you will connect to the Express' audio port or get another cable with a 3.5 mm connector on one end and a TOSlink connector on the other. An example could be seen here.

Yes, though it is less ideal than what I suggested earlier. You would need to place your AirPort Express in a location approximately midway between your AirPort Extreme Base Station and the TV. Then, using AirPort Utility, configure it to "extend a wireless network".
It may help. Bear in mind the signal thus "extended" by the Express can only be as good as the signal it can receive from the Extreme. That is the reason for selecting its appoximate midway location.
Read about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
Scroll down to "Wirelessly Extended Network (802.11n)" for a picture.
This solution requires an all-Apple wireless network. No third party stuff.
You mentioned using Ethernet. That would be a better idea. Scroll down to "Roaming Network (Ethernet-connected Wi-Fi base stations)" for a picture. In your case, the longer the Ethernet cable - hence the closer you can move the Express to the TV - the better

If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

If I run a50 metre Ian cable to my workshop and plug in an Airport express will it create a wi fi signal for my ipad to pick up

If I run a 50 metre LAN line to my workshop and plug in an airport express will I get wifi to my ipad

The max length is 100m http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable So it should work.
