Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

Yes, AUX in jack. Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible. For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA. The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in. Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out.
I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network. So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple. The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router? However its not connecting?? I am doing something wrong?
Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?

and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

Can i play music directly from time capsule?

can I play music accessed from time capsule so that I don't have to use up room on my computer?

If you want to move your itunes library to the TC we recommend you don't.. the TC is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.. it might appear vaguely like a NAS but it has zero ability to backup files.. and fails with surprising frequency. and is slow.. and what happens when you corrupt your itunes library.
If you just want to put individual files and play from there.. well neither is it a media player. Basically TC fails at anything and everything except being a TM backup target.

Playing music wireless from iPod to car stereo

Can I play music direct from my iPhone to my stereo via AirPort Express?

Rather than using my iPhone as a remote control for my MacBook Pro music, can't I just play the music on the iPhone wirelessly through my new AirPort Express to my stereo? If so, how?

Assumng your on the same wireless network youu should be able to.(I've done it with mine, and a even a friends iphone)
While playing a song select the little upward facing triangle in a box then select your Airport Express...
For further/better info on the topic you want to search for is AirPlay... from Apple's general support (or maybe even the older version AirTunes)

I can't play music purchased from iTunes on other devices

I purchased some songs via iTunes store today. I then copied them to my daughter's music player (a Mattel product) only, but they won't play. They show up on the device's folder when connected to my computer, but they don't show up or play on the device.
I know they can only be transferred to three devices, but this is the first device for these songs
Does iTunes block their songs from being played on non-Apple products?
The Mattel Product is the Kids MP3 Boombox, Model # 1636110

Not for recent purchases, but the songs may need to be converted to MP3 to work on non-Apple devices.

Playing music wirelessly from itunes using a Digital to Analogue Converter

Hi, i new here so bear with me!! I have an ideal setup I wish to have but wondered if it's at all possible with Apple hardware.
I have an extensive library on Itunes in Apple lossless format stored on an external hard drive and wish to stream it to my hifi using a DAC, the server needs to have either an optical and digital SPDIF coax output or 2 USB outlets which carry a digital audio output. Is this at all possible?
I don't wish to go down the Squeezebox route due to the format my library is in.
Many thanks.

You can use an airport express to stream your music from an iTunes library (or a iOS device)using airplay. Airport express has an optical digital output which is capable of 44.1/16 (CD quality is you have lossless files). I have it hooked to a musical fidelity dac and control playback through the apple remote application in my ipad. You can no distinguish in a/b comparisons with a good CD player, and my rig is quite high-end.
I know iTunes streams 44.1/16. Not sure on what's the quality of streaming from an iOS device. It does sound poorer to my ears, but...

Streaming music wirelessly from iMac to stereo

I'm looking to stream music wirelessly from my iMac to my stereo and was wondering if anyone had any advice on what is the best system to do this through. So far I've seen the Logitech Squeezebox, which looks OK, and the Sonos system, which looks great but pretty expensive.
Thanks

For Express is there any method of controlling the music through the base station...
No
...or is it all done through iTunes on the computer?
Yes

TS2972 Appletv can't download the library from the iMac

Appletv can't download the library from the iMac though it is able to download from the MacPro. I select the library and it spins for a while then directs to check connections and network. Music can be played via Airplay from the iMac so there is some connection however not video. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Tried restarting iTunes, the Airport as well as ATV without and change.

Time machine and playing music wirelessly

I currently have a MacBook Pro and a iPhone and would like to back-up and print wirelessly as well as playing music wirelessly from my Mac and iPhone.
Am I right in thinking that I would be able to do this with both a Time Capsule (for the printing and back-up) and a AirPort Express (fot the music). The Time Capsule liked to the printer via USB and connected to my WiFi and my Mac would just back-up to this no problem. Then the AirPort Express is neeed as an interface between my speakers and mt Mac/iPhone, AirPort linked to speakers then I can just send music fom both my iPhone and Mac wirelessly to the AirPort to play through my speakers?
Also, if this is the case, is there any advantage the Time Capsule has to any other WiFi external hard drive?

Am I right in thinking that ..
Also, if this is the case, is there any advantage the Time Capsule has to any other WiFi external hard drive?
Yes, all your thinking is good, except the printer cannot be connected to the TC by USB.. it has to be a wireless printer that conforms to the airprint standard. That is if you want to natively print from iOS..
If that is not a concern then you can print to a USB printer but you need an app for your ios device.. like printopia.. there are several of them.
The advantage of the TC is it ties in neatly to this network.. nothing else does. Apple routers do not make themselves work wirelessly with other brands. So if you want wireless in particular that works then the TC is the go.. it is also the cheapest (the 2TB that is). You might find cheaper external hard disks. but nothing with router and wireless built in.

Can't play music that I have bought

I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

My old username in OS X----->karasjok
My present username in OS X----->Stian
iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.

Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!! However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv. (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing. I can't search/browse any other music)
If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
My problem involves:
icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier. Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing. This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
What does work is:
iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off. I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

Hi
Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
Thank you for your suggestion.
