Airport Express to extend network and stream music at the same time?

Hi. I have an Airport Extreme base station (primary wireless access point) and an Airport Express. Currently I connect my Hi-Fi to the Airport Express and stream music from iTunes, but I would like to also make use of its Ethernet port to connect other wired devices to my network. Is this possible; can it be used for both simultaneously? I've tried various configurations but not managed to achieve this.

Welcome to the discussions!
If you have an AirPort Extreme(n) and AirPort Express(n), the ethernet port for the Express will be active if you "Enable ethernet client" during setup using AirPort Utility.
It sounds like you have either the "g" version of the Extreme or Express or both. Both devices must be "n" capable to use this option. If you don't see an option on the Wireless setup page of the Express to "Enable ethernet client", you have a "g" Express and this function is not available with your device.

How do i extend airplay to stream music at the same time to AEX and ATV2

I have a new ATV2 and an AEX, my macbook, 2 Ipod touches and an Ipad2.
I figured out how to setup my ATV2 and airplay through my macbook and my touches. My ATV2 is in my living room on a Yamaha 6.1 receiver with 2 channels. I have 6 speakers in my living room on channel A and a speaker in my bathroom on channel B.
So....I decided to grab an extra Bose speaker and bring it to my foyer/kitchen and hook it up to my AEX since i cant hear the music too well when im cooking or in my office from the speakers in the living room.
I setup the AEX to connect direct to the speaker. When Im on Itunes (either mac book or touch) i only get two options to airplay, AEX or ATV2.
My question: How do I extend airplay to stream music on BOTH AEX and ATV2 with the same music at the same time?
Please and thank you!

As you are already aware both the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) and ATV2 are AirPlay "speakers." When both devices are properly connected to your home's wireless or wired network, both should show up in iTunes as in your case. Also the iTunes AirPlay speaker selector should provide you with an option to choose multiple speakers. As a minimum, you should see: Computer, the AXn, the ATV2, and the Multiple Speakers options. Is this not the case?

AEX for both extending network and streaming music?

I have a Time capsule purchased in late 2008 and a recent Airport express. Can I use the AEX to both extend my network and stream music at the same time? I set it up to extend my network and everything works find so far.
Thanks

Yes, just make sure AirTunes is enabled in AirPort Utility for the Express.

Airport Express: Extend a network and do Airtunes at the same time?

Hi, I'm trying to organize the people in my apartment building to share an internet connection wirelessly.
The connection is originating from a friend's apartment; he has a Linksys router, probably "g" flavor.
We're going to put one Airport Express in a neighbor's apartment to extend that.
I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo which I use only for Airtunes.
So I'm wondering: can I connect my Airport Express to this network and extend it and ALSO use it for Airtunes?
Also: Can I prevent my neighbors from seeing my Airport Express for Airtunes purposes? IE, I don't want my stereo to show up in the "multiple speakers" drop down of iTunes for other people connecting to the network...
Hope there's a way to work this out...

can I connect my Airport Express to this network and extend it and ALSO use it for Airtunes?
In order to extend the wireless range of the Linksys router, you would have to configure your AX and the Linksys in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, very few non-AirPort router are WDS-compatible. The few Linksys models that are reported to be compatible are the WRT54G & WRT54GS.
If you can create a WDS, streaming iTunes should not be a problem.
Also: Can I prevent my neighbors from seeing my Airport Express for Airtunes purposes? IE, I don't want my stereo to show up in the "multiple speakers" drop down of iTunes for other people connecting to the network...
No, but you can establish an iTunes Speaker password so they would not be able to stream to it.

Shooting videos and playing music at the same time

Hello,
I would like to buy a phone which could shoot videos and at the same time play music.
Does Nokia have such a model?
Thank you for your answer!

I don't think anyone has such a model.
When shooting video it's the sound being picked up by the mic that you'll hear in your earphones.

I cannot charge my iPhone 6 plus and play music at the same time

I Just upgraded to the iPhone 6 plus from the iPhone 5. Before the iPhone upgrade I did upgrade to i0S 8.1. My iPhone 6 plus will not connect to the Bluetooth in my 2012 Toyato Camry Nor can I charge my new iPhone 6 while playing music thru the auxiliary port.

Yes.

Connecting to wireless network *and* another computer at the same time?

Hi,
I will be getting a new macbook soon and have an old powerbook with airport. I am wondering if it is possible to connect to my old powerbook via airport, while still being connected to a third-party wireless internet connection (from the macbook). The crucial point is that I cannot connect both computers to the wireless network, because subscription is based on the computer's hardware address and I don't want to pay for 2 computers (I don't need to have internet access on the old computer, just a connection between the two computers). Anyone knows?
Thanks!

What you are referring to is known as "Internet Sharing" for Macs, but it's typically restricted to sharing the Internet connection from one port (either AirPort or Ethernet) to the OTHER port...not AirPort-to-AirPort or Ethernet-to-Ethernet.

HT4437 can i play songs from my ipad to my airport express and Ihome speaker at the same time?

can i play songs from the ipad to both the airport express and ihome speaker at the same time?

Let's double-check your AX's settings...
To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select your Belkin wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

How to listen to music and record sound at the same time

I want to figure out a way to record sound and listen to my music at the same time. Most recording apps stop my music when it starts to record and I can't find an app that does both. Any ideas?

Not possible since the iPod only has one audio processor.

Play Music and Watch Pictures at the same time?

Can you play music and view pictures at the same time using AppleTV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes indeed, there are various options for slideshows, including the background music for the slideshow.

Petition to upgrade Zen Micro Photo to view pictures and play music at the same t

As you all are aware the iPod Nano faces off with zen Microphoto. Even though it isn't yet available at Creative.us and after waiting almost a year, I just had to grab one from Best Buy that sold out. I purchased it because of the huge 8GB harddri've, FM stereo receiver (that's how I get to know about new songs) and color photo capabilities. Unfortunately, everytime I try to watch a photo or play a slideshow, the music cuts off without warning and my bright and shiny player isn't a MP3 player anymore.Please, everyone, WRITE CREATIVE via Email and ask them to upgrade the firmware and software to stop turning off the music whenever we play photos. If the iPod Nano can do it... shouldn't the Zen MicroPhoto be able to do it also?Imagine not being able to play your sport team's music while you view your sports picture while you were playing ball. Imagine not hearing your wedding song while you view your wedding photos?Imagine not hearing your graduation song while you look back at your graduation pictures?How very horrible!Please petition Creative to fix this grave injustice please!Thank you ladies and gentlemen!Message Edited by Catherina-CL on 0-7-2005 0:33 PM

So, what you're saying is the iPod uses superior hardware components because they play images and music at the same time, even in the itty bitty Nano. Also, the iPod is able to "shuffle" photos so that you don't get bored seeing the same photos over and over again as in sequential mode.
There are a few players that do support music and photos... some will only limit one song per slideshow.
Furthermore, if you check the Zen Vision manual, creative's newest MP3 multimedia player... it does NOT support photos and music at the same time either.
In my opionion, it's a software issue, like I said, it displays only one image (background) during music play - if it couldn't, it would have shut off the image too. It's not that they CUT OUT creative features, but that they didn't write the software to allow the ZMP to "play" photos and music at the same time.
I mean, you can buy a PC for less than a ZMP and it can run several applications showing music and photo and videos at the same time.
I wouldn't buy the zen micro for nothing... there's just something special about having a color screen. I mean, who buys black & white TV these days?
With X-fi, I'm restoring my MP3 to higher quality, I'm sure the 8GB will come in handy as these filesize will only increase. And I got it because I'm hearing more and more music on the radio that I want to have... so my collection will only increase. I have over ,200MP3 at 320K which stood at 6.5GB.
As for you, consider that you're paying an extra $20 for 2 more GB and a 256K color display. It's well worth it over a 6GB monochrome MP3 player.

Time Capsule and 2 macbook at the same time

Hello,
I have a time capsule and 2 macbooks.
Therefore, when my macbook is doing a backup ( every hour), my collegue cannot acces to internet, and cannot backup at the same time.
But it looks like this problem is only one way ( I mean when my collegues backup, I don't have any trouble to go on internet).
Anyone can help? cause it's really annoying.
Thanks

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

Airtunes - Analog and Digital output at the same time?

Howdy,
This may seem strange to ask, but can the Airport Express output audio in digital and analog formats at the same time? Is there a strange splitter cable that could do this for me?
I recently learned that most AV receivers with digital inputs cannot output digital sources to their analog zone 2 outputs. The usual work-around is to connect their digital sources to the receiver by both analog and digital cables.
Mikael

I just learned the same thing. Does connecting the digital and analog connections to your reciever work ? Did you connect them to the same source or assign different sources for each? Thanks,
