7.1 speaker system using wifi signal

given that wifi can send a great video signal to a flatscreen, are home theater ampliphiers thinking of making wireless speaker systems that utilize wifi?

its actually a possibility, the problem is it may not be worth the trouble. For instance: quality would not be nearly as good as a hard wired connection via speaker wire, and just imagine having to search for an SSID everytime one of the speakers won't get signal.

Speaker systems use with creative mp3 player.

i was interested in a creative speaker system and was wonderin if they are any systems available that enable you to play music from them via my creative zen mp3 player? could someone help me out here.
many thanx

p3dlow,
Any speaker system that can receive input from a single 3.5mm stereo minijack should work with a MP3 player. Are you looking for a 2.1, 2.0, portable or docking station? Btw, exactly which player do you have?

Sending music from the iPhone to my hifi system using wifi - possible?

So, I sit on my couch and want to send the music on my iPhone wirelessly to my music system. Is this possible?
Thanks

It's called Signal. I found it on the Web Apps page here and bought it right away. It does exactly what I've always wanted to be able to do (I've been using Airport Express and iTunes for our wireless music around the house now for a couple of years but always wanted a "remote control" and this is the perfect solution. I never thought my solution would come from my phone, though :>)

FireWire problem with speaker system

I have a gen4 Nano that will not charge on my speaker system. I used the white docking adapter, but still nothing. It will play the music, but won't charge. We have three gen3 Nanos that are recognized, but not the gen4. Please help.

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately, your 4th generation nano won't charge when it's connected to some components. Those components use the FireWire pins to charge, where newer components use the USB pins. And the newer iPods have stopped using the FireWire pins and only use the USB pins.
Like yours, my speaker system uses the FireWire pins, but I have a 4G iPod, so I had to use a universal dock to charge my iPod, and then connect it to my speakers via a cable. On the one hand, it's not the best solution, but it also allows me to use a remote to control the iPod, which is a nice bonus I actually use more than I thought.

I have an IPad2 and the operating system is 8.2 . I use wifi and when I attempt to go on line I receive a full strength signal which indicates I am on line but when I try to GO On Line I receive a message( you appear to be off line) . I am writing e

MY I pad indicates that Inhave a full strong Wifi signal
but when I attempt to go on line via Safari or any of my apps I receive a response ( it appears you are off line)
my my wife has also identical IPad using the same user name and ID and she is not experiencing any similar problems
could you please help

Try rebooting your modem.
Unplug both your modem and your wireless router.
Plug modem back in and wait a good 3 minutes for modem to completely boot up.
Then plug your wireless router back in and wait another 2 minute for that to boot up.
Then turn iPad off and back on.
Make sure you and you wife are on the same network
Hope it works.

I'd like to alter my Airport Extreme/Airport Express wireless network so that the 3 Expresses connect to the Extreme via Ethernet. I've been told this will create a more stable wifi signal. How do I configure this using Airport Utility? Thanks.

I currently have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to my DSL router by Ethernet. Because I have a long, sprawling home, I have 3 Airport Expresses configured to "Extend the Wireless Network" I've established. Because of my home environment--thick walls encompassaing wire mesh, sprawling rooms, etc., it is hard to maintain a continuously-strong, stable WiFi signal. I've been told that I can create a much more stable network by connecting the Express units to the AEBS via Ethernet cable. Since my home is already wired for Ethernet, I'm considering making this change. If I proceed to establish the Ethernet connections, how do I then set up Airport Utility to accomodate this switch from a Wireless-based WiFi network to an Ethernet-based WiFi network?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phyllis

I don't see anyplace in the Utility to designate HOW the Express units are connected, only how they relate on the network to the Extreme,
As I mentioned in the previous post, when you click the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
Connect Using = Ethernet (This tells each Express to connect to the Extreme using the ethernet connection)
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) (This setting allows your AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on the network, as it must for the setup to work correctly.
You do not need to configure anything differently on the AirPort Extreme (as long as it is working correctly now) to connect the AirPort Express devices.
The only other question I have is the following: I'm currently already using one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme-- for my husband's iMac. I really don't think he gains much in performance over how the iMac would run through wifi, so I could disconnect the iMac. If you think the iMac would do better to stay on the Ethernet connection, should I use a switch/splitter to add an extra connection?
Since each AirPort Express must connect using ethernet, you will need to use the 3 LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme for the AirPort Express devices.
I would suggest that you try connecting the iMac using wireless to see if that will work. If the wireless connection is not satisfactory, then you can add a 5 port ethernet switch to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and then plug all the devices connecting using ethernet....the iMac and the 3 AirPort Express devices...into the remaining 4 ports on the switch. That will leave you with 2 open ports on the AirPort Extreme for any future devices that may need to connect.
When you test out the system, here is a trick to find out which device your computer is actually connecting to at any given time as it "roams" around the house.
When you have AirPort Utility open to configure each AirPort Express, jot down the AirPort ID for each Express. You can do the same for the AirPort Extreme.
As you move around with your laptop, hold down the option key on your Mac keyboard while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device that the laptop is connected to at that time. it should also be the ID of the closest AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme if the laptop is close to the Extreme at the time).
Let us know how things are working when everything is up and running.

HT4259 We decided to set the Air Port Express in a room using only the power outlet and relying on the existing wifi signal...we have a verizon modem and didn't want to mess with connecting the Air port express directly to the verizon device. It didn't w

I bought a Air Port Express device from Apple yesterday. We decided to set the Air port device in a room near the router to use as a wifi extender to areas of the house where the signal is weak. In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep. he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house. We have verizon DSL. Our town is very small...no cable provided so we are lucky to have what we have...some areas of our town can't even get what we have. We, didn't want to connect it directly to the Verizon device (router)....we followed the directions from Josh as well as the explicit directions provided by Apple support...it didn't work. We keep getting an error message. Does anyone have any advice ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please speak in "Laymen's terms" I am not technically savy....but..am determined to get this set up. Thanks to anyone, in advance!

In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep. he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house.
Unfortunately, it appears that Josh was not aware that the AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless signal from another Apple router.
From Apple's literature:
Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range.
If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.
The AirPort Express is not compatible with a Verizon product for this purpose.
Your might want to have another conversation with Josh to ask his advice on how best to proceed at this point.
If you do decide to keep the AirPort Express, it will be necessary to connect it to your Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage.

How to broadcast Wifi Signal from MBP when using AT&T mobile card.

I have a Macbook Pro and access the internet via an AT&T wireless modem card (USB Quicksilver). Is there a way to broadcast a Wifi signal so that I can get internet on my new iTouch ?
Thanks for any help !!
Cindy

Yah, Seattle: I see what you are talking about: when you try to enable share, the message is "you haven't enabled a port to share", and the only offer is ethernet? I do share my wireless AT&T AirCard. Are you sharing with a PC, or more Macs, on Airport? It took me a while, when I first enabled the share on Airport. From System preferences > Internet and Network > Sharing, there is no joy. First go to Network Preferences: enable Airport; whatever it takes; Network name you self-assign. Now when you go to SysPref > Sharing > and check Internet Sharing, you get another scolding: "You cannot share 'cause no ports; or share from Airport to computes using ..." Go to Network Preferences > Airport > Network Name > Create Network, or if the other computer is up and around, > Join Network. Mine werke,s but it was ugly getting it up to a PC wireless ... I got it almost there and then had to go 128 bit encryption password etc to make the (corporate) PC happy. This is not plug and play ... Keep trying and take notes and post back.

Sending email using phone signal not wifi

Dear all,
I would appreciate any help. I have two pop email accounts set up on my iphone. When connected to wifi both send and receive emails. However when connected via O2 signal (Uk) then the accounts will only receive and not send. In stead i get an rror message about the outgoing smtp server
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Josh

Okay, got some progress. If I configure the outgoing server to smtp.o2.co.uk then when I am using edge or standard phone signal the the emails are sent. If I then switch to wifi then the emails will not send.
However if I change the outgoing server to smtp.ntlworld.com then the emails will send when using wifi and but not if using edge or standard phone signal.
Not great but I guess that since this is a mobile device I will keep it set to o2.
Unless anyone who is way smarter than me (not Hard) can provide a solution. I suppose I could set up duplicate accounts with all settings identical apart from the smtp server.
would that work?
Josh
Here's a solution that will work with both wifi and GPRS/EDGE connection. Use the smtp.o2.co.uk hostname for the Ougoing Server but also add your o2 username (full email address) and o2 password into the Outgoing Server fields.

Can I use a new ipod touch in an old dock/speaker system

I will be in the states soon and thinking of getting and I pod touch the 5th edition. However I have an older dock/speaker system and wonder will it work in it. I have heard that you have to buy an adaptor. Is this true and are they easy to get and how expensive are they. Also is there any issue with buying one in the states and using it in Europe

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=72
is the lightning to 30 pin adapter. There are some third party ones out there, but not a ton. If you go for a third party one go for a name brand not a no name generic.
If you want to buy one, look for a retailer with a good return policy so if it doesn't work you can take it back.
As to world wide use, shouldn't be a problem. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure you have a plug adapter if your charger is rated for world wide voltage, or making sure you have a charger that can handle the world wide variances in power. (Usually rated 100-240V in the specs)

Can i use my time capsule to extend my wifi signal without physically connecting it to my router?

I currently have a BT Homehub connected to a modem, which is connected to the ethernet port in my wall (which is downstairs). I bought a timecapsule to wirelessly back up my computer. It is connected via ethernet cable to my router. I have recently been having trouble getting a wifi signal in one room in my house (upstairs). To fix this i was wondering whether it is possible to move my time machine somewhere upstairs, to a location closer to this room, and have it transmit a wifi signal without it being connected to my router via ethernet. And if so how would i go about doing this?
cheers

Can i use my time capsule to extend my wifi signal without physically connecting it to my router?
Yes, if you have an Apple router.
No, if you have a BT router.
IF....your Time Capsule is currently set up to provide a wireless network signal, you could add another Apple device...like an AirPort Express....to extend the Time Capsule wireless signal.

can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

My iPod Nano 6th generation iLive speaker system quit on me and now I cannot find a compatible speaker system. I don't want tiny personal speakers, I use this for music in the family room.

I have 2 iPod Nano 6th generation. I had them setup with different music from iTunes and I had an iLive Bluetooth docking and speaker system that charged and played them with speakers spaced in the family room. Not a little personal setup but for reasonably loud music for the whole room. My iLive system died on me. It had the 20 pin place to plug in the iPod nano and a clock and the two speakers that were bluetooth. It was the perfect setup for me. Now that model has been discontinued and I cannot find anything like it. Does anyone know what a good option is? These iPods are only a couple of years old and now obsolete because they don't make anything to play them on. I don't use earbuds, it's not what I bought them for. One has our jazz music collection, the other has Christmas music. I want to hear it throughout the house.

Sorry typo it had a 30 pin place to plug in the iPod Nano
