Adjust volume via iTunes for multiple speakers

I upgraded my iTunes to 6.02 and finally it is possible to select multiple AE and my PC at the same time to stream music to them.
It works almost perfect for me! Just one thing bugs me:
I can't adjust the volume on my AE via Airtunes if I selected my computer and my AE. When I try to adjust my volume in iTunes, the volume on my computer changes but the volume on my AE doesn't.
If I select just one of them, either works perfectly but not togeter.
My settings are right (preferences > advanced > disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers = OFF).
The funny thing is that on a Mac it works perfectly but on my Win XP Pro not!
Is this a common problem for Win XP and is there a solution for this?
Windows XP Pro

I have the same issue, but don't blame Apple. Just getting multiple AE's to work is so cool I'm still in heaven.
I don't see how Apple could engineer the ability to stream different volume levels to different AE's.

Updating to iOS 8 via iTunes for multiple iPads

Can I update multiple iPads to iOS 8 with one software download?
All iPads are currently using the latest iteration of iOS 7.
Thank you.

Are all the iPads you mention the same model, including cellular vs. Wi-Fi only? If so, then yes you can update all of them with the same download.
However, if they are different models, then you'll have to download the update file for each different model number.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.

Airport play iTunes through multiple speakers at once?

Ok, this seems like a simple need to me but:
For parties I would like to have iTunes streaming music via Airtunes to multiple Airport Express / speaker combos at the same time so that guest moving about the house are hearing continuous music. But iTunes pull-down only lets me select one speaker set at a time. Am I missing something? Or is Apple?

You are on the same track as I am. I want to "beam" my music to several sets of speakers in different rooms. I know they have to be powered speakers- either independently powered or hooked up to a receiver unit, but why can't we use Airport to "beam" music wherever we want it? Technology has a ways to go, I guess.

Update firmware to use iTunes with multiple speakers

I updated iTunes today to the new version 6.02.23 mainly because I was anxious to use the new "multiple speakers" feature. When I went to try it, though, I found no option...just My Computer and AirTunes.
All I had to do was update the firmware on my AirPort Express. Once I had done that the multiple speaker option appeared, and it works great. Now I am listening on my computer and my wife has it on the speakers upstairs.

Hi Friday56,
that's exactly what I would like to do. I have itunes 6.0.4.2. installed on my pc notebook and just updated the Airport Express firmware. The result is the same as before: i can see only the remote speakers and "my computer", but no option "multiple spaekers".
Are you sure this option is available in itunes for windows?
greetings

Itunes for multiple family members

My situation is I've been using iTunes since its inception and built quite a library. I've been through multiple ipods and now on to iphones for multiple family members. All the while using one itunes account on separate devices for multiple family members. Now that we have iphones its become necessary to create separate icloud accounts for each family member. This creates a problem for those with new icloud accounts. The iTunes music library can no longer be shared on separate devices (that I know of). The music library and playlists I have built over years cannot be shared with those devices that now have separate icloud accounts. I am aware of "family sharing" and have set that up going forward but how do I resolve the issue of all the music and playlists that were shared when we all used one itunes account, prior to creating separate icloud accounts? I hope this makes sense. For example my wife and son no longer have access to any of the music/playlists on their iphones that they used to have prior to creating their own accounts. Even though all purchases made before and after creating separate icloud accounts were made using the same credit card.
I believe I could just go back to having the other devices sign back into my itunes account and I think that may resolve the issue but what happens to purchases that were made on the other devices while they were signed into their own accounts? Another point that comes up is that we all have gift card balances on each itunes account. This is so confusing

This is great news as I've been struggling with this issue for some time. Mainly because my wife is a little old school and likes to put music on CD's and this solves that problem. Thanks again!!
Mr Mars,
You are welcome! I hope you have achieved the expected degree of "harmony."

ITunes for multiple accounts for Windows XP

I am the admin on my PC with Windows XP. I have iTunes installed under my account. I just got my wife an Nano. Can I install another iTunes under her account, move the music to a shared folder, and have both iTunes use that shared library? If not, can you please share the best approach. Thank you.

Can I install another iTunes under her account, move the music to a shared folder, and have both iTunes use that shared library? If not, can you please share the best approach.
you shouldn't have to install itunes in her account. she should have it already in her account if it has been installed on yours.

Adjusting volume to account for recordings of unequal quality

I'm creating an iMovie with photo clips and music. I know how to view and adjust volume levels on the audio. Each of the song bits that I'm using are entered at the same volume level.
However, during playback, some songs are quite loud and others seem too soft.
How do I make them more the same...is it even possible?
sgc

sgcable,
"How do I make them more the same...is it even possible?"
Two songs set to the same volume level in iMovie will not necessarily sound that way. The level for any particular piece of audio is relative to the level at which it was originally recorded at.
So, in your case, you might try lowering the level of the audio that's too loud and raising it for those clips that seem too soft.
Let your ears be your guide, not volume settings themselves.

Cannot use keyboard shortcut to adjust volume in iTunes

Before version 10.2, I could use the Command Up/Down combo to adjust the volume in iTunes. As of 10.2.1, I can use Command Up, but when I use Command Down, it does not control the slider, it moves my library selection from Music to Movies, Podcasts, etc. as if I was just pressing the Down arrow. How can this be fixed?

I noticed that my volume was really low in itunes even though the keyboard volume was up all the way and the volume slider in itunes was up all the way too.
So, I went into System Preferences and reset the volume from the slider in there.
I shudder to think how that got as low as it was set, because I didn't do it.
Thats when I realized I can no longer control the volume of itunes from my keyboard or the menu icon.
I can however adjust it in itunes.
But were's the fun in that?
None of the remedies I have read about so far have worked.
What next?

Express, iTunes and Multiple Speakers

I posted this on the iTunes forum, but thought maybe it goes here. I cannot get itunes to play music to both my AX units. Airtunes works just fine in normal play. I can switch between each AX network. And the "multiple speakers" option shows up when I switch between the AX units. And I have them both updated to the latest firmware (6.3), and the latest version of iTunes. Still, no matter which AX network I pick, it will not let me play music to the other one. I pick AX1 and it lets me play AX 1 and the computer, but not AX2. If I switch over to AX2, I can play AX 2 and the Computer. But I can't get music to all three -- Computer, AX1, AX2. Interestingly, the multiple speakers window shows all three -- just won't send the music to all three at one. NOTE: My Airport Management Utility indicates that both of the AX units post the same IP address. Is that right? Is that the problem? -- david c

I think I solved it. Not sure, but think so. Checked again with Apple. Dunno whythe first one didn't point this out. Says you can broadcast a single iTunes transmission across two AX units ONLY configuring the second one as "bridge" to the first. What I was trying to do was transmit to two AX units each set up as separate networks. I guess it makes sense. The new tech says I keep the first AX network as is, but go into and re-set the second one using the SetupAssistant. Haven't done it yet, but he says I'll be asked if I want the new to "join" the first one. Think I'll try it. Only issue will be if the resulting sound loses any quality that way. If it works, it's what I wanted....sending iTunes to two different stereo systems (great room and patio deck) at the same time.

Using iTunes For Multiple iPod's

Hey,
Anyone know how to use iTunes for two iPod's without the songs being erased and all that ...kind of like having two seperate library folders.
Thanks In Advance,

Well there are two way to go about this.
Number 1. Having seperate windows accounts, with iTunes on both, will give you seperate libraries.
Number 2. Set both iPods to update Automatically but to only the playlists you select. This will keep your playlists on it and whatever you don't want on there off. Same goes for the other iPod.
I myself use the number 2 option for my iPod Video and my Moms Nano. The only thind you got to remember, if you plan on updating or if you added new music and want it on your iPod, is to select the new playlist you made. This options works great

Volumeicon volume keys stop working after adjusting volume via icon

When Volumeicon is first started, the volume keys work fine, (although it doesn't show the volume bar like it does when you scroll on the icon for some reason). When I adjust the volume by scrolling the mousewheel on the icon, the volume keys stop working and volume can only be adjusted via scrollwheel. Volumeicon must be restarted to restore volume key functionality.
Why is this happening? What's going on?

Is this something that worked previously but then stopped working correctly?
What window manager / desktop environment are you using?
If you start volumeicon from the command line then use it are there any error messages?
Alternatively, does the volumeicon-gtk2 packagen in the AUR work better?

Creating a Volume Control Bar for multiple audio files

I'm fairly new to Flash and am developing a project with a
series of frames that contain unique movie clips. Each of these
frames are accessible through a chapter based menu as well as being
viewable straight through as a regular movie. I've just added the
audio for each "chapter" / frame that are all unique from one
another. I'm having a problem with creating a volume control bar
that will affect all audio throughout all frames from the single
control bar on the general skin/interface that these chapters work
out of. (Using Flash 8)
I developed a sliding control bar, which works but does not
affect the volume in any way. Is there something wrong with the
following coding that I'm using? (The control bar is made up of a
button nested in a movie clip and the action is being applied to
the mc. The bar/line to follow is 60px long and the control is to
move horizontally while the increase corresponds to increase in
volume. The original code was for a 100px line from a macromedia
tutorial that I adjusted to be 60px) Any advice on best practice
for creating a volume control bar would be greatly appreciated! (I
currently have all of my corresponding audio files on separate
layers, should I be placing these within a mc rather than just
having them on the main timeline?) Thank You!!!!

Answering my own question.....
Each individual swf has the code...
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("someSound.mp3", true);
my_sound.setVolume(50);
Code on Shell/main slide....
//SOUND OBJECT
var soundtrack:Sound = new Sound;
soundtrack.setVolume(50);
//END OF SOUND OBJECT
//GLOBAL VOLUME CONTROL
var nVolCheck:Number;
volSlider.volBall.onPress = function():Void {
this.startDrag (false, 0, 0, 75, 0);
nVolCheck = setInterval(updateVolume, 150);
volSlider.volBall.onRelease = function():Void {
this.stopDrag ();
clearInterval(nVolCheck);
function updateVolume():Void {
var vol:Number = (volSlider.volBall._x)*2;
soundtrack.setVolume(vol);
//END OF GLOBAL VOLUME CONTROL
my bar is 75 pixels in width and the volume is being
increased by 1.5 at its maximum.

How do I set up iTunes for multiple Windows identities?

We are a family of 5, all with separate Windows XP identities on the same PC. Each has an iPod, and several of us have additional devices (iPhone, iPad, iTouch, iMac). Everyone has their own email addresses. But right now, every device is using a single instance of iTunes, and they are all using my email address. With stuff being shared with iCloud, I am thinking that now is the time to segregate everyone into their own iTunes accounts.
How do I accomplish this, in such a way that all our tunes and apps can still be shared? It is as easy as setting up iTunes on each person's Windows identity and then linking that new instance of iTunes to the folders where the music and apps are?
Asking before I do this because I really don't want to screw this up. Thanks to all - in advance - for you help and suggestions.

Hi Diesel,
Many thanks for your reply. I have been doing that, but running it as an administrator means that my calendar info is not synced. I get a blank calendar on my iPad. I need to be able to set it up so that users can run it in their own accounts. There must be a way to do this?
Kind regards,
Euan
