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!!!

  • How can i play music from my ipod on another mac?

    i have my music library in itunes (on my ibook). i transfered the songs to my ipod. how can i play the music on my g5? i see the ipod in itunes and also the songs, but i cannot cklick "play".
    g5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    It is set to Auto update.
    If it is set to Auto update, when you plugged it in, it updated the iPod to match you iTunes library. Just play them in iTunes.
    If you want to play songs on the Mac without loading the songs from the iPod, iTunes prefs -> iPod. Set to Manually update all songs and playlists. They will no longer be grey.
    You will have to sync the iPod from home first.

  • How can i play music from my iphone 5 in my home theater which has an old dock?

    I have my home theater and it has the old dock the iphone 5 is smaller so how can i listen music now from my iphone?

    Hi - you can try the 30 pin adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    or the lightning to 30 pin cable
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD824ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter-02-m?fno de=45
    but since there is no guarantee it will work with your system I would recommend that you know the return policy before you buy.

  • Having a party - How can we play music from other people iPhones using apple tv?

    We are having a party and want people to be able to play music from their own iphones/ipods using our apple tv. is this possible?

    either mirror the iphone on to your apple tv or when they are logged into your internet via wifi. If they open their Itunes, the airplay button should appear for them. Just make sure they are connected to your network.

  • I need to clear space on my mac and have 2 other devices I need space on- IpHone and Ipad.  I have Itunes match.  If I delete the library from my computer, how can I play music from the cloud on all devices.  S

    I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad.  Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive.  I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud.  Thoroughly confused and frustrated.  Hope someone can help.
    Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up.  Any thoughts?

    If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account.  Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
    The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

  • How can i play music from my external hard drive not purchased in itunes on my iphone

    I have all of my music backed up to an external hard drive and have copied it to my new laptop and linked it to my itunes. I can play all the music on itunes but cannot play it on my iphone. The music was mostly uploaded from cd's that are now lost. Help!!!

    thank you, I had done all that and I know seem to have sorted the problem by dragging the folder containing the music into the itunes music folder through the side bar.
    cheers

  • Can't play music from shared slideshow using Front Row (or iPhoto)

    Can anyone play a shared slideshow and have the music from that shared slideshow play in Front Row?
    I can't get the sound to come through either in iPhoto or Front Row.
    It seems to me that you should be able to do this.
    1. We can play shared music.
    2. We can play shared photos and slideshows
    3. But I can't play shared slideshows with the selected music from that shared slideshow..........
    Anyone.... ?
    I don't think this is possible at this time but would like to know for sure if anyone else can do this?

    Heya Joseph,
    Yes you can play shared music in front row.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1655.html
    Now as far as a slideshow I would think so as well as the authorization for that music comes from iTunes to iPhoto.
    Heya Justin,
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    - Open iPhoto - then quit
    - Open iTunes - then quit
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I play music from my ipod Touch (5th gen.) on my car radio?

    Hi--I used to use a cassette adapter to play my iPod nano. Obviously it's an older car, a 2004 Toyota. Is there an adapter I can use to connect my new iPod to the car radio? Thanks.

    If the car has an AUX IN you can use a cable between the iPOd's headphone jack and the AUX IN.
    If the car has an FM radio yo can purchase a FM transmitter for the iPod. Some connect to headphone jack and some to the dock connector
    Google for: fm transmitter for iphone 5

    How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

    These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:
    Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

    How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices? thanks

    If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
    I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.
