Apple tv3 and airport express

I don't know...... a way to send the music from Apple TV3 to an airport express?!
Thanks for help!

Both Apple TV and Airport Express are pulling the music from iTunes.
Your question is a bit unclear.....are you trying to stream an online station from AppleTV over to Airport express so you can use the analog audio output on airport express?

Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

Hi there!
I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
Thanks for any help!

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?

I just purchased Apple TV AND AIRPORT EXPRESS. I am questioning if I need it when I already have a Netgear Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2001. Does the Airport Express do the same thing?

Thank you so much. Any specifics I should know about prior to connecting? The goal is to watch Netflix from my iPad or iPhone 5 on my tv (located in different room from where Comcast internet modem is hard wired to main computer in house). Movies would depend on wireless transmission to a smart tv not connected to modem.

Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?

Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
Anybody have any ideas?

I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

I have set up apple tv and airport express but cannot get apple tv to recognize the airport express wireless. Any solutions?

Airport Express set up a wireless network in my classroom. Apple TV is working but only recognizes the school network. I would like a solution other than connecting the two with a cable. That would require hanging cables since I am using apple TV to run a video projector.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting articles below and verifying that you have the Apple TV and Airport Express configured properly.

Can I stream music to apple tv and airport express at the same time?

Does anyone know if I can stream music to both AppleTV and Airport Express (speakers) at the same time?
I have a TV in my living room and external speakers on my deck and want to stream music to both at the same time so I have the same music playing in both rooms - but I can't get an answer on IF I can do both at the same time or it I'd have to select one over the other?
Anyone know?

yes - the built-in music app allows to select one speaker only at the same time.
now i've found the WHAALE Multiroom Player App (http://www.whaale.com) - and it sends directly from the iOS Device to my 6 AirPlay speakers. One of them is an Apple TV...
all "in sync" and without any special hardware and additional software.
And i am able to stream different songs to different rooms...
Just AirPlay speakers - wifi router - WHAALE -> that's easy :-)

How to connect apple tv and airport express on same Hi-Fi?

Hello everybody,
My question first : Is it possible to output the sounds directly from the Apple TV to my Airport Express (via Airplay, wifi, or whatever connection) and connect with the jack my Airport Express to the stereo? This way I could hear the sound from my tv or listen to my music via airplay the way I want.
Now, the long explanation : I have a Tivoli sound system which only has a Jack as input plug. I also have an Apple TV (2) to watch movies. For my movies, as my stereo doesn't have any optical audio input, I've connected the television directly to the stereo. As I used to listen music from my Iphone on the dock aswell, I installed a double jack adaptor to permit two connections to my stereo (1 for the iPhone dock and 1 for the television).
Now things have changed a bit. I bought an airport express to replace the dock station.
The problem is that I can't use the double jack adaptor anymore. If I want to watch tv I have no sounds from stereo until I unplug the airport express Jack. The reverse works, I can listen to my music when both airport Express and television are connected.
If you have an idea? Let me know.
Thks.
Christophe

....... Is it possible to output the sounds directly from the Apple TV to my Airport Express
Unfortunately not.

How can I connect my Apple TV and Airport Express to the rest of the network for the least lag?

Hey guys,
I have an Airport network here in the office. All new Airport Extremes. The internet comes into one, which then connects to our switches, which then connects to other Airport Extremes over ethernet. Everything is setup to create its own network with the same SSID, and only the leader is the DHCP server.
I recently added an Apple TV to the network, only it was too laggy for video chat. I bought an Airport Express (for the audio), and ran ethernet to connect it to the network and the Apple TV, but things were still slow.
Now, I set the Airport Express up as a DHCP server (with NAT) itself, with a separate SSID, and it's working great. The only problem is that people would rather not have to switch wifi networks. Is there any way around this? BTW, the AirEx is complaining about Double NAT, which I understand is happening, but it's still working fine... it's really just the having to switch networks that's a problem for us.
Thanks!

Hi - as you probably know, double NAT is not recommended - you might have problems with some websites and updating - but if it is working that is great - as far as the Wi-Fi issue is concerned, you should still be able to create a wireless network with the same name an password as the rest of your network so no one has to switch.

HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
No internet connection is available at the location.
Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
Thanks for any help!

Ok so we now have a solution to the problem. A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped. Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express. In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned. We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name. We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router. I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name. I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare.
Hope this helps.

ATV2 is a streaming only device, smaller, and use less power. It is also now discontinued
The current model, ATV 3, has a better chip allowing for 1080P playback.

ADVICE NEEDED Apple TV and Airport Express vs Cable company modem

In process of buying Apple TV and need some advice. I have a cable moodem and am wondering if I should use that for Apple TV or should I also purchase airport express to use with Cable modem. I currently do not have any airplay devices but might in future. Recomendations about setup would be great.

I suppose you could connect the Apple TV to your home network with a LAN cable...then have your PC wired to the same network...this would allow you to download movies, Netflix and YouTube from the internet to the Apple TV and also to play music from iTunes on your PC....but one of the things I really like about my new Apple TV is the interaction with iOS devices...it is great to mirror the desktop from an iPad 2, it is great to show pictures etc. from the same iPad...I think you'd miss a lot if you didn't enable wi-fi...it seems like you could setup a wi-fi access point in your home for a very modest cost, and just connect the downlink from the wi-fi network to the hub of your cable modem...or your ISP might have an integrated wi-fi system you can purchase...when you setup wi-fi on Apple TV, you just need to know the name(SSID) of the wi-fi network and any password you might have..it works great. The instruction book, though tiny, does a pretty good job of explaining stuff

Apple tv and airport express, apple tv and airport express

Simple questions from novice: If I have Apple TV, would there be a need to also have Airport Express? What is the main difference?

An Apple TV will work on any WiFi network so an AirPort Express is not required.
For the most part an ATV and an AirPort are 2 completely different devices. An Apple TV is intended to be connected to a TV and a home theater receiver for streaming audio and video. Even for audio the artwork will be displayed on the TV screen as well as all the menus.
An AirPort Express is a wireless network adapter for setting up a or extending a WiFi network. As a bonus it has an audio out jack which is used with AirPlay which is built into iTunes and iOS devices for an external speaker. It can also be used to create a wireless printer using it's USB port.

Why can't I stream my audio to my apple tv and airport express' from my iphone 5?

I want to walk in my door and have music throughout the house from my phone seamlessly, wake up to my phone alarm and have it continue with a play list that fills the house. If I could get my Hue lighting to sync with my audio alarm or an itunes alarm that would be great too. I feel like these are easy things to include. So what? Does apple leave them out on purpose and sell the functions later in the app store under different company names to increase profit or just leave the market open to collect revenue from third party companies that do? That's the only reason I can see for Air parrot being able to provide a basic function that Apple seams to have just skimmed over like extending your TV as a second screen. I'd also love to be able to use a password protected Flicker account for my screen saver in Apple TV instead of having to make all my family photos public to use this wickedly awesome system. I want to stay a Mac person but the last few years have me looking Galaxy class. I don't mind replacing all my tech, as long as it works and it's easy and it's life functional. But I'm a guy, so if I end up doin the shift, I won't be shifting back no matter what's done later to fix it sooooooo can anyone help me fix these incredibly obvious short falls in programing service? I'd also love to be able to search my songs by lyrics, not just name and artist soI can create quick age apropriate play lists for my nephew aaaaand how great woul it be to have a Genius list that compiled music based on activity, like say exersise or chilling out. I'd also love an app that periodically turns off all my other apps not in use, just saying. How is there not an all off app? Do you know how anoying it is to shut down 30 apps or forget they're running and loos battery power on mass. They should have an app for that with options, timers, blah blah blah. Seriously, multiple airports from my iphone, anyone?
Thanks

scotty, you have to have your iTunes open and running to air play unless you subscribe to Match.

HT4437 Dowloaded Itunes 11. While airplay icon shows up with my three available devices (computer, Apple tv and airport express), I get an unknown error -15006 occurred while connecting to AirPlay device Apple TV (or airport express device I named Stere

I have third party Airfoil. When I select Itunes as source, all three sources are available and connected and working. I tried the basics (reseting/restarting everything) but I still get this error message. It all work fine with earlier versions of Itunes 10. Any thoughts?

No more need for an answer... the problem has been solved!

How to setup ADSL moden router and Airport Express 802.11n (1st Generation) to provide internet and airplay connections to multiple devices?

I have a Netgear wireless ADSL modem router (wireless + four ethernet out ports) that i'd like to connect to a 1st gen Airport Express to create a small home network to provide internet access for a MacBook, iPhone and Apple TV, and to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and Airport Express audio output jack.
I'd like to turn off the wireless function of the ADSL modem router, and to have from one of its ethernet out ports an ethernet cable providing internet directly connected to my MacBooks ethernet port.
Then from one of the other ethernet outs on the ADSL modem router an ethernet cable connected to the Airport Express's ethernet port. This would be to provide wireless internet connection for the Apple TV and iPhone via WiFi from the AE.
At the same time as the MacBook is receviing internet soley via the ethernet in port, i'd like it to have WiFi connection to the AE to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and the AE's audio out jack.
Is this all possible? How should I go about to configure this? How should the AE's ethernet port be configured?
Any special modes the ADSL modem router or Airport Express should be in? ie bridge or client?
Thanks

On the ADSL modem router web-based interface, should I set any security setting? I think not as there'll be no wireless signal coming from it, only wired ethernet connections to both MacBook and AE. Security should only be set on the AE to prevent someone from accessing its WiFi signal. Is this assumption correct?
These are all correct!
How should I go about setting up security for this network?
First I would recommend that you configure the AirPort Express for WPA2 Personal. This will provide you with the greastest level of security while still providing excellent bandwidth performance.
You would configure wireless security for the Express by using the AirPort Utility on a Mac, PC, or iOS device. Using your MacBook Pro as an example, you would do so as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select the Express, and then, click on Edit.
Select the Wireless tab to enable it.
Set the Wireless Security option to: WPA2 Personal
Enter the desired password in both the Wireless Password & Verify Password fields. Note: Use of a "strong" password is encourage here. By strong, I mean use a mix of upper/lowercase letters, numbers, & punctuation marks. Try not to use common dictionary words. If you operate your wireless in an area where security is of an utmost concern, I would further suggest that you change the wireless security password every 60-90 days. Also don't forget to change the default AirPort Base Station Administrator password as well.
Click on Update and allow the Express to restart.
