Sharing Music with Computer and Airport Express at the same time?

I just purchased and set up airtunes with some powered speakers.
I cannot figure out how I can play the same music at the same time to shared computers and the Express Powered Speakers at the same time.
Can you help me with configuring instructions please?
iMac G5 with Airport Extreme and DSL w/ iTunes pointing to external hard drive music library.
PowerBook G4 in the kitchen wireless can share music when computer is selected.
Powered Speakers on the screen porch with Airport Express connected can only play music when Express is selected.
How do I fix this so that when we have a dinner party we have the same music in the office, the kitchen and the screen porch all playing together at the same time?
Thanks.
I hope my question is clear as I really would love to sort this out before our party.

Although your problem is slightly different, it seems that you are having the exact same issues that I had just two days ago - solved for me by Felix. If you check the link below, it goes through what I had to do, which was basically to update the software on my airport express base station, which he explains well:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=476631&tstart=30
When I did it, it then gave me the option on iTunes (check the picture at http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/airtunes.html to see the magnified bit on iTunes) and then I could just choose multiple speakers concurrently.
Hope this helps.

  • 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 :-)

  • Using original airport and airport express at the same time

    I am currently using a G4 iBook (14 in, 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 10.3.9) with Airport Express, which works great. However, I'd also like to make my iMac (slot-loading, 500 MHz, 384 MB RAM, 10.2.8) wireless. The iMac will accept an original airport card with an adapter. Should I anticipate any problems combining old and new technology like this?
    Thanks!

    Hi - and thank you for answering my original question. However, I have run into a bit of a problem. The installation of the airport card in the G3 iMac went fine, and I can see the network under the airport icon. But, when I go to join the network, the password I use for the iBook doesn't work and I cannot join. I get either "There was an error joining the selected Airport network" or "The password is not correct for the selected network". Should I be able to join the existing network using the same password? Does this sound like a configuration problem?
    Some additional info which may not be relevant - my current setup with the iMac (prior to trying to go wireless) has the iMac connected to a Linksys cable/DSL router via an Ethernet cable. The DSL router is plugged into the original DSL modem I got from Earthlink. The router was added so that I can also use a laptop PC to work at home - but the PC laptop has not been plugged into the router during the time I've been trying to connect to the wireless network with the iMac. I'm told by the IT guys at work that the way things are connected and configured, the router does the actual dialing and not the DSL modem.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

  • Can you use 2 airport expresses at the same time?

    I want to play my iTunes through my computer speakers and up to 2 airport expresses at the same time, to fill my house with music without having to blast it in any one room, but iTunes will only play on the computer's speakers or through the airport express, but not both.
    Is there a hack to get it to play on multiple airports, like giving both airports the same identity or something?
    I could acheive this with extra speakers and lots of wires running all over the house, but I'd like to avoid that.

    From the Airport Express FAQ
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108038#9
    Question: Can iTunes send a single AirTunes stream to multiple AirPort Express stations?
    Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware 6.3. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

  • Can you play music to wireless and wired speakers at the same time?

    If you have Airport express, can you play music on speakers plugged into the airport express at the same time as you play from speakers attached to your computer?
    Thanks

    Yes you can. In the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes main window there is a drop down menu. Select the AirPort Express base station(s) you'd like to send your music to and also select 'Computer'. Not only will it play through all, it will play IN SYNC!
    I can't remember with which version of iTunes this was introduced, best to grab the latest version to be sure.

  • HT3291 Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

    Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, this doesn't work directly from the Apple TV. However if you play the radio station from your computer you can send it via airplay to both devices, thereby achieving what you require.

  • My new Apple TV 2nd generation and computer cannot to my Airport Express at the same time, whats up?

    My Airport Express wont allow both my computer and new Apple TV to be conected at the same time. In Network Preferences I have to manually connect my Apple TV and when I do then it disconnects my computer. When I go to Network Preferences to manually connect my computer it disconnects my Apple TV. Both cannot be connected at the same time. Whats the fix?

    I've tried to set up the IP's manually, still doesn't work. In fact I get a message saying that there is another device trying to use my computers IP address of 00.0.0.0. Thats not my computers IP its my Airport IP. Then neither my computer nor my Apple TV can connect. I change things back to auto configuation its either the Apple TV or the computer which I have to change in Network Preferences. It even tells me that my computer is connected to my network in the status bar and in Network Preferences when it is not. I never had this problem with my old Apple TV (1st).

  • How can I open the iTunes libraries for my computer and my iPod at the same time?

    Before a recent upgrade I was able to have my iPod music library and computer music library open at the same time in order to check and see what songs I wanted to manually sync. Now I can't figure out how to do it - either one is open or the other, but nt both at the same time.

    In iTunes 11, Apple removed opening of multiple/separate windows.

  • Can iTunes play 2 different songs on 2 different airport express at the same time?

    Hi
    I am trying to setup a multi zone home audio system where iTunes will be the main source of music.   I would like to be able to listen to different music in multiple zones at the same time and I am trying to find out if iTunes can support this or not.  I know there are "multi zone audio systems" that can be purchases from different companies (elan, Russound, Control4, etc) but I want to see if this functionality exists within Apple hardware before purchasing a different system.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    using two TV's you could do what you want. you'd have to select the content to stream on the units themselves or use Apple's remote app on an iDevice.

  • Can I use our PC with existing SCXI setup (conencted to a PC by PCI-MIO-16E4) and use one labview application to communicate with FP and SCXI systems at the same time?

    We have an existing PC with SCXI setup. can i plug in a PCI-485/2 card connected to a FP-1001 network, and get both systems to be utilized in a single labview VI?

    Yes, you can utilize both sets of resources (SCXI and FieldPoint) at the same time from the same VI.
    If you were using the SCXI RS-485 interface, the SCXI and FieldPoint system would have to be on separate serial ports. Beyond that, there should be no real restrictions on accessing both of them.

  • Can external HD connect to PS3 and Airport Extreme at the same time?

    I currently have a external HD connected to my PS3 to play vids. Can I connect a AirPort Extreme to that HD at the same time to wirelessly drop files on the HD to play on the PS3?
    Thanks

    Most likely, no. How do you propose that you would connect this drive to both devices simultaneously? Via a USB hub?

  • Connecting my XP laptop to Airport Express at the same time as my iBook

    My XP laptop recognizes my apple network. Everything works up until the point where i'm asked to provide the WEP password. When i type in my password, it doesn't work and lets me know that it must be in either "5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits" format.
    I think I simply need to reconfigure my Airport Express, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to reconfigure it so that it will accept the connection from my windows laptop.
    Please please help before I got out and buy something I don't need. Thank you very much in advance.

    I had this same problem with my 2wire gateway when I switched to Mac. My roommate has XP, and two PC's with Linux. When the Mac was added to the network, it all went to ****. It has something to do with Apple's WEP configuration. I think. My roommate is the guru, not me. We set it up with WPA, and my MBP worked flawlessly,. Although XP and Linux could connect, they were both plagued by random drops and poor performance.
    We tried the Linksys (IIRC) and it did the same thing.
    To make a very long story short, we bought the Extreme draft-N and put it in WPA. Mandriva, Sabayon, XP and OS X are all able to connect to the internet and playing nice with each other (with a few exceptions)....

  • Can I sync Outlook and Outlook Express at the same time? Please help!

    Hi, I'm new to BlackBerry so please be gentle.
    I was able to install the BB desktop and sync my BB to Yahoo contacts and Outlook Express.  I would like to also sync it to regular Outlook.  (If you're interested, here's why: I run a small business and I wasn't able to get my website's email to come into regular Outlook so I have to use stinky Outlook Express to get my emails.  However, I want to be able to use Outlook for all the other good stuff - contact, notes, calendar - and have everything on my awesome new BlackBerry.) 
    Is there a way to have both?  When I try to configure it, it just doesn't have an Outlook option.
    If there isn't a way to do this, does someone have another idea for a functional address book? 

    1. Perform the steps in this article here KB02206
    2. Reboot PC
    3. Download the latest version of Desktop Manager, should be 4.7
    Desktop Manager 4.7.0 B50 Multilanguage - With Media Manager
    Desktop Manager 4.7.0 B50 Multilanguage - Without Media Manager
    4. Install Desktop Manager choosing personal email... not work email during installation
    This should solve the communication with outlook
    As for setting up POP on outlook, you need to know the pop and smtp servers, whether its ssl, and the port numbers, plus your username and password
    check all these settings in your outlook express and they need to be the same in your outlook.
    What version of Outlook is it? You may benefit from reinstalling outlook or all of office
    I live in canada so I wont be any hands on help for you unless you want to send me all the email settings and I can test it here and figure it out. Just PM me the info if you want to do that

  • 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).
