How do I stream music wirelessly from my NAS to my iPad?
Hi,
I've recently set my Dlink DNS 320 NAS with iTunes server. I've installed the latest iTunes and plugged my iPad into my desktop pc. I can see my NAS in the left hand pane of my iTunes window, and all of my music is listed there.
When I unplug my iPad, and leave my desktop pc on, I open up Music on my iPad, click on the More option and I can see all the music available. When I turn off my pc I can no longer see my music.
Now I'm working on my laptop, latest iTunes installed and again I can see my NAS in the left hand pane with all of my music. Plugged the iPad into my laptop, installed it, and unplugged it again.
Okay, I have one query and one problem.
Problem: when my laptop is turned on, running iTunes, I can't see any music available on my iPad under the More function. I can only Genres and Composers. How do I access my music collection with the laptop turned on?
Query: Do I have to keep my pc / laptop turned on to play the music wirelessly on my iPad. Seems a bit ridiculous that I've got my NAS running across my wireless network, with iTunes server running, but I have to keep my pc to get to the music.
Thanks in advance for any support and help!
Could you explain more? WHat do you mean that you do not have "import" on iTunes? Are you trying to find an import command to add the videos to your iTunes media library? It is called Add to library and is found in the iTunes File menu.
But you can add files to the iTunes media library by just dropping the files onto the iTunes icon.

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

How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...
how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...
most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application). Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad. Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ... Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

Stream music wirelessly from iPhone to MacMini speakers....
I have my MacMini set up as a media server and play most of my music from there - it connects to two Airport Expresses in other rooms. However, sometimes friends have requested to be able to stream from their iphone itunes library or iphone apps to the speakers connected directly to the mac mini audio port in my living room where the mac mini is setup. As the mac mini speakers do not show up in Airplay they cannot do this. Is there a work around? Is there anyway to stream to the speakers of any mac OTHER than using Airport Express? If it has airport built in why cant the speakers appear to anyone on the network?
same question here.

I had my music stored on iTunes on my old laptop which is no longer working. I purchased an iPad 2 but don't understand why there is no way of connecting my iPod to my iPad to transfer my music over. Is there an app or something I can use to operate my iPod through my iPad, instead of a PC? If not, then I guess I should've bought a new lap top instead of an iPad.
Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

How do I stream music from non-iTunes apps to Airport (mac air core-i7 OS 10.7.5 airport firmware 7.6.1 --- option-clicking speaker icon only shows internal speakers - audio streaming works from iTunes just fine.
Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

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. -
How do I stream music to Appletv and airplay speaker at the same time?
Hello- new here. I just set up my new airplay speaker. I currently have appletv connected to my stereo receiver. How do I stream music to both appletv and the airplay speaker? I seem to only get the option to choose one or the other?
That's normal - remember it's a limited portable device.
You could Airplay from iTunes to both using multiple speaker mode (or download Remote app and control itunes and multiple speakers using that in teh palm of your hand).

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop
How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music! -
How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
Thank you!That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings. -
