Airplay sound not via iTunes

hello, I am not an expert in all those Airplay devices. I appreciate your help.
I want to buy below Soundlink System with Airplay (just came out so no help so far online) and connect it to iMac and mobile devices. iMac can play music from this speaker via iTunes but actually I want to watch films and videos which are not on iTunes. Just use it for wireless all sound system.

Will it work or do I need Airport Express for the iMac to do so? Thank you in advance.

Just read about Airplay and found that it works with iMac's no older than mid 2011. Shame. Mine is too old it seems, 2008.

  • Airport express connects to internet, will play via airplay, but not through itunes.

    Hello all-
       I just updated to the latest iTunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit and now itunes can no longer send music to my airport express.  It is directly connected via an ethernet cable.  The wifi portion of the airport express works, I can find it in the airport utility, I can send music via airplay from my iphone...just cannot connect to the device in itunes to play music.  I also tried airfoil and it cannot find it either.  Thanks for the help

    Thank you for responding, Duane, I'll give it a try. I suspect the cordless phone is the culprit. I do wonder though, if it is why my Safari and Mail aren't kicking in even if the Wireless Network is working fine.
    If I may repeat that part of the issue: often, when downstairs, I actually can connect to the wireless network, and I see in the network connection window the words "Connected via PPoe", yet Safari will not connect to the internet, claiming "could not find PPoe"; and Mail will not connect to the online server, instead reading "working offline" no matter what I do. At such times it's almost as if Safari and Mail are in a different non-functioning universe than my functioning wireless network. Why won't they go along for the ride?

  • Airplay sound not mirroring after first time until restart

    Anyone else seeing this issue?
    When we connect either the iMac or the MacBook Pro to our 2nd generation apple tv via airplay the first time, the sound goes to the tv as expected.
    If we try to use airplay a second time, the sound stays on the computer, though the picture shows up on the tv. If we try to change the sound in preferences to the apple tv, the airplay connection is broken. Once we restart the computer, the sound works as expected.
    All of the latest system software updates have been applied.

    That is right - upgrade to Mac as in purchase a Mac which now have Intel processors and the ability to also install and use Windows XP or Vista along with OS X on the same computer.
    I wonder if u have gone thru Apple's OS X license agreement recently?
    I have gone through the Apple website recently but I don't need to. Regardless, the answer remains the same and will not change. If you want to run OS X, you need to purchase a Mac.

  • Sound not working & iTunes won't play & Netflix error

    Sometimes my sound stops working, and songs on iTunes won't play when this happens. Also if I try to watch Netflix an error message comes up: "Netflix Playback Error N8157 3140" and it says it could have something to do with my Silverlight plugin.
    This is what it says:
    The error you're seeing is related to the Silverlight plugin, which Netflix uses to play movies and TV shows on your computer.
    This error is usually caused by one of two things:
    A computer setting preventing Silverlight from storing files it needs to play your movie or TV show
    An issue with the Silverlight plugin itself
    To fix this error, follow the steps below for your Windows or Mac computer.
    Reinstall your audio card drivers 
    Your audio card drivers may be out of date or corrupt.
    Uninstall and reinstall your audio card driver. Your owner's manual or audio card manufacturer's website can help.
    However, I have tried deleting and reinstalling silverlight, but it doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It only happens sometimes, other times I have no problems and it works fine.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • We have bought an Apple TV, and have downloaded the sky sports app. We are trying to watch this via airplay, but we are only managing to get the sound, not the picture. Any ideas??

    Sky do not allow the app to work with Airplay.You will only get sound.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried resetting the PMU?
    I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
    Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
    How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
    All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

    Hi Tokha,
    If you are having an issue with using AirPlay from your MacBook Air, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver.  My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front.  When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

    I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver.  My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front.  When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left.  When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine. 

    I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using.  The original one conflicted with my neighbor.  After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished.  Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi).  I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another).  :-)

  • Airplay does not recognise my Pioneer vsx-1122-k on my iPad, I can control my receiver via the pioneer app on my iPad so it is just airplay not a connetivity issue.  My Panasonic Stereo is recognised on Airplay.

    Since upgrading to the latest IOS, Airplay does not recognise my Pioneer vsx-1122-k on my iPad, I can control my receiver via the pioneer app on my iPad so it is just airplay not a connectivity issue.  My Panasonic Stereo is recognised on Airplay.

    Hi
    I don't know if you're still having this issue but there is a way round it as I'm having the same troubles.
    I've just spoken to Apple about it and found out:
    – If you have a Mac made before Mid-2011, it doesn't have a piece of hardware needed to take advantage of the 'Airplay mirroring'
    – So you can update to a later version 10.6.8+ but this won't help at all
    The way round it:
    – Download 'Airfoil' and install this
    – You can then play music from any defined source (Spotify, Quicktime etc) through your Airplay connected speakers
    So sadly, for those have a Mac from before Mid-2011 there's isn't an option that's as easy as Option-click on the sound icon to switch to Airplay speakers.
    Hope that helps, I can now get on with the rest of my day now after sorting this out.

  • I am trying to update my RSS via sound cloud to iTunes but having issues... please help

    I am trying to update my RSS via sound cloud to iTunes but having issues.
    I currently have my podcast working on iTunes but I have decided to change where I have them hosted.  I moved my podcasts over to Soundcloud and currently have the rss feed but I would like to update my iTunes podcast with this so that all my podcasts showing up on sound cloud will sync up and automatically update.
    here is my rss feed:
    feed://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/48458062-the-collective-podcast/tracks
    Podcast via Soundcloud:
    http://soundcloud.com/the-collective-podcast
    my podcast on iTunes:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-collective-podcast/id662393388
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The feed in use by iTunes is http://thecollectivepodcast.podomatic.com/rss2.xml , not the one you list. It has one episode, whose media file URL is
    http://thecollectivepodcast.podomatic.com/enclosure/2013-06-14T16_06_53-07_00.mp 3
    Your feed at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/48458062-the-collective-podcast/tracks has no episodes.
    You will obviously need to get this sorted out before you can proceed. Once you have the soundcloud feed working properly you will need to add a special tag to the original feed in order to transfer the Store to using the new feed. The method is decribed here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    Please make sure you are completely clear about it before proceeding, and check that the new feed works by subscribing manually in iTunes before you try moving the Store to it.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • I cannot get an app that I just purchased via iTunes to download onto my iPad. It is not music. It shows up on my computer but not on my iPad.

    I just purchased an app for my iPad (iOS 7.1)via iTunes. (It is not music.) I cannot find it on my iPad to download; it has not shown up on my display with my other apps. It does, however, show up on my MacBookPro. I have checked the iTunes on my iPad; the app does not show there. Where do I go from here?

    If you purchased directly on the iPad, it should have downloaded automatically.

  • I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

    I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

    Did you figure this out?  I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent.  Same fricken thing is happening to me.  I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it?  This just really stinks.
