AirPlay is only compatible with iTunes, correct?

The AirPlay feature is only compatible with iTunes and a few third party music streaming programs, correct? It doesn't work in the same way that Bluetooth works where any sound that comes through your computer then comes through the Bluetooth device while its activated, right?

Airport Express Airplay no longer compatible with iTunes 11.3

Hi,
Everything was working perfectly until this morning when I updated to itunes 11.3 (54) 64 -bit, now I open my itunes and try to select my airplay speakers connected to an Airport Express and the message appears "The Airplay device is not longer compatible with this version of iTunes" I have a Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.9.4 installed.
Any help will be much appreciated.

My iPhone, iPod, iPad and any other device sends the music perfectly through, just my Mac with iTunes is the one having the issue.

I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

Hello Hornet12,
Indeed, iTunes 10.2 or later will be required to utilize AirPlay.

Airplay no longer works with iTunes

Airplay no longer works with iTunes 10.6; try to stream to speakers connected to Airplay device--use to work fine. Now, in iTunes, the icon in the bottom corner actually says 2 speakers, as it should, but when I open it it only shows speakers connected to computer directly. I have tried re-installing the AirPort utility and configuring it in every which way. I have tried turning off IPV6 in the network. Nothing seems to work.

I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

Photo software compatible with iTunes

I have been trying to add an soundtrack using my iTunes library to a slideshow I created in Picassa. However, Picassa only plays audio from Windows Media Player and I have not been able to transfer songs from iTunes to WMP. Is there photo software that is compatible with iTunes or is there a way to copy iTunes songs over to the WMP library?

CAN I SYNC GAMES FROM IPAD THAT IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH IPAD TO MAC PRO?

hi there! can i sync games to my mac pro that i bought from my ipad, and its only compatible with ipad,iphone or ipod?

You can sync apps through iTunes, as a backup. You can't run those apps on your Mac, though.

I accidentally deleted Garageband on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of Garageband is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD for my computer

I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?

The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
Is it possible to still get the older version?
Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

Is ios 6.1.3 compatible with iTunes 10.7?

Is ios 6.1.3 compatible with iTunes 10.7? I'm being prompted to update my iPhone to the latest ios (6.1.3) which would be fine, but I don't want to upgrade to iTunes 11 because I don't want to lose cover flow, so I want to make sure that the new ios is compatible with iTunes 10.7 (the version I have kept since it has coverflow). Has anyone seen it stated from Apple what iTunes versions will sync with the latest ios update (6.1.3)?

6.1.3 works with 10.7 or 11.
iTunes will not tell you to update your IOS unless it will work with the version being updated to.

Old JVC Video camera, driver only compatible with windows.

I have an old JVC camera, i would like to transfer the video which is on mini DV cassette via usb to my macbook pro however the device is not recognised and the driver is only compatible with windows.

I have an old JVC camera, i would like to transfer the video which is on mini DV cassette
It would help if you give us the exact model JVC camcorder you have.
That said, nearly all miniDV camcorders (including JVC miniDV cams) transfer video via Firewire (aka iLink or IEEE 1394), not USB. And no drivers are required, at least not on a Mac. If you have a more recent Mac that has a Thunderbolt port (no Firewire port), you can use an Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter to connect your camcorder to your Mac (although you may also need a 4-pin to 9-pin FW cable).
Also, on miniDV camcorders that have both Firewire and USB connections, the USB connection is almost exclusively reserved for transferring still photos from the memory card in the camcorder, not video from the miniDV cassettes.

My ipod will only register with itunes after restarting my laptop, after that it just charges.

I just got a new Lenovo laptop. When I plug my ipod in, it only registers with iTunes right after the computer has been turned on or restarted. After that the ipod just charges. I can find the ipod listed when I go to my control panel and click on my devices and printers section. There is an exclamation point next to it and it says status: Driver error. I've tried installing a new driver but it says mine is up to date. When I click on the device and go into hardware I can find another spot that says device status and a message box. In the box it says:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)
The driver could not be loaded because a previous version of the driver is still in memory.
After I restart laptop the ipod is reconized by iTunes when I plug it in and I can update it. When I go to the device in the control panel I get none of the messages about driver error. However, as soon I disconnect the ipod it all happens the next time I connect it unless I have restarted the laptop.
What can I do to make my iTunes register my ipod whenever I plug it in, and not just when I restart?

Hi Carcasscar,
It sounds like you are experiencing an issue where your iPod is not being recognized by your computer. I have an article for you that contains some troubleshooting steps that will help you address this issue:

Iphone doesnt sync with Itunes correctly

Need seriously help.
My new Iphone 5S does not sync with Itunes correctly. All movies i bought won´t get on the Iphone,altough i´ve acitvated all the sync options in itunes. Music Sync ist activated, Movie Sync and Pic Sync also is correctly activated. But always i enter the Button "Sync" it ignores the settings i have taken. There are no movies on my Iphone , there is no Musik i have selected transfered to my Iphone. Ive tried it now about 2 hours to find a solution. But no Succes so far. The Sync doesnt work. There is no message that the sync failed. It always jumps from "Preparing Sync" to "Complete Changes" (Its my translation from the German Itunes:> - i dont know how the steps are named in the englisch version)
I´m using A Iphone 5S with Ios 7.0.4 and a Macbook Pro 2012 with Itunes 11.1.3 (8). I´ve heard there are many other people, who have the same issues with syncing to their devices. With every try more i loose more Musik on my Phone. Because the music i havent bought on itunes also disappears from my phone. It all started with my movies. The movies disappeared from my phone and didnt work anymore. Every time i wanted to start the movie , Loading crashed an i was removed on the homescreen. The whole video app crashed. After this wanted to try it again, but the movie disappeared from my phone. And that happened to all movies i had on the Iphone. So i started the Phone again and all movies were back again. But the Crash happened again. My Explanation was a crashed file, so i wanted to sync it with itunes to repair it. But Itunes also didnt work anymore -
What do you think? Hardware issue or Software issue with the new Ios or Itunes ?

Try "resetting" ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
"AirPort Express" isn't an option.
Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?

AirPlay is only compatible with iTunes, correct?
