Airtunes over Ethernet?

I have an Extreme wireless network and a new Express with 802.11n. They're connected to each other via Ethernet to create a roaming network, which means the Express is operating in bridge mode. Everything works. I can stream Airtunes beautifully over the wireless network.
I also have an older iMac without an Airport card. It's connected to network's wired LAN and it works fine on the network. Is it possible to use it as a music server over the wired LAN? iTunes Preferences > Devices is set to look for Airtunes connected speaker.
Everything is on the same subnet.
I have read of a setting in my Express to allow Airtunes over Ethernet but the selection isn't there in Airport Utility.
So, is AoE possible?

Apparently AoE is enabled by default. Airtunes works fine over the wired LAN.
Airtunes without the Air. Hmm...

  • "Enable AirTunes over Ethernet"

    Checking the "Enable AirTunes over Ethernet" box in the Music tab in the AirPort Utility has been suggested as a solution to my problem below:
    have iTunes on a PC (no wireless card) connected to an AirPort Extreme base station via an ethernet cable. I have an AirPort Express connected as a client to the AirPort Extreme's wireless network. The AirPort Express is also connected via mini to RCA cord to my stereo. I would like to use AirTunes to stream music from iTunes on the PC to the stereo, but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any thoughts?
    But, I can't seem to locate it in the Music tab. Any thoughts? Is it not an option in the newer software (firmware?)?

    This suggestion from MacFixit and an upgrade to iTunes 7.7.1 solved the inability to stream music to an Airport Express from iTunes on an ethernet-connected computer.
    Music will not stream through AirPort Express Some users have reported that streaming music through AirPort Express units fails after the update. The most common fix for this issue involves changing your IPv6 settings. In order to change this setting, open System Preferences then the Network pane and click on your currently used interface (Ethernet, AirPort, etc.). Click on the TCP/IP settings for the interface -- at the bottom if you see a button which says 'Configure IPv6...' click it make the setting "Off." Press the Apply Now button.

  • AirTunes over Ethernet: Not running!

    Hello everybody.
    I have my Airport Express station attached to my stereo and to my network via ethernet. on my cube i can allways find it in iTunes as remote speaker - but not so on my macbook pro. there i even can't find the option to activate airtunes over ethernet in the airport admin utility (while on my cube with os x 10.4.9 i can!). airtunes over wireless works but i often have my macbook in my office where the airport-signal is quite poor and it would be great to have the sound streamed over ethernet (since there i hade no porblems with audio drops due to poor signal strenght...).
    someone can help?
    thanks alot..
    sepoe

    Right, I have an ADSL Router wich is my DHCP Server. It has a built in 4Port hub, where I connect my AirPortExpress and a PowerLine adapter. In my office is a switch to which a secound PowerLine adapter is connected. Also, my Apple Cube and my MacBook is connectet to this switch. While it is possible to stream music from my Cube (OS 10.4.9) it isn't from my MacBook Pro. Furthermore, the checkbox in Airport Admin Tool to activate AirTunes is not available on my MacBook Pro while it is on my Cube with the older OS.

  • Airtune Over Ethernet  with Time Capsule or Airport Extreme

    Can the previous generation Time Capsule or Airport Extreme bridge an ethernet client to an Airtunes network?
    Current Setup: I have an aluminum iMac wired to my Time Capsule; currently, I use the aluminum as a music server by connecting to several Airport Express clients over the the iMac's built-in Airport for Airtunes support.
    Problem: I have 3-802.11g clients dragging my wifi network. I would like to dedicate the iMac's internal network to the g-clients so I don't have to use compatibility mode for my n-network. However, I will lose Airtunes speaker support when I use internet sharing over the built-in Airport. Airtunes does not appear to support the Time Capsule ethernet client.
    Nodes:
    -AE 802.11g (Airtunes only)
    -AE 802.11n (Airtunes and USB printer)
    -1st gen Time Capsule (Internet gateway, "creating network" 802.11 g/n,
    -iMac 8,1 (Music server via internal wifi, wired TC client)
    -Macbook 4,1 (wifi client)
    -iPhone
    -Canon MP620 (USB to iMac, wifi to Macbook)

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • ITunes 7.1 doesn't recognize Airport Express over ethernet

    Running iTunes 7.1 on Windows XP desktop. Immediately after update, iTunes no longer can see my Airport Express as a remote speaker (Airtunes over Ethernet).
    Airport Express has the latest updates. Airport Utility has no trouble recognizing it by name. It doesn't have a password on it. The Airport is happily providing wireless for my laptop. It is my only WiFi base station, because I have a small place. It's been dependable for over a year.
    I'm truly bummed, because earlier today I got a Griffin AirClick USB, and it works like a charm. I was looking forward to using it with full-screen coverflow in 7.1.
    iBook G4 and assorted Win & Linux boxes   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes is on an XP PC

    The problem turns out to be an incompatibility with Bonjour for Windows. A post by "f00fighter" over in the "iTunes for Windows Upgrade Issues" forum solved it. I quote him below:
    ******Quote***********
    Looks like this issue is due to an incompatibility between Bonjour for Windows and iTunes 7.1.0.59 for Windows (thanks toonz!)
    To workaround the issue you can stop the Bonjour Service by going to Start \ Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Services, then highlight the Bonjour Service and stop it. You might also want to set the Startup status of the Bonjour Service to Manual (or Disabled) to prevent the service from starting automatically the next time you restart you PC.
    Note - this is only a temporary fix, and turns off the Bonjour service...so don't do this if you have other applications that rely on the Bonjour Service. A fix from Apple is needed to truly "fix" this issue.

  • How do I set up multiple Airport Expresses to connect over ethernet for Airtunes only?

    I am trying to set up an Airtunes network using an Airport Extreme and three Airport Expresses connected together via ethernet (CAT5 cable). At each Airport Express there will be a speaker setup. I don't need/want internet connectivity on the network, but not sure if it is required for setup or not. I have made this work over wifi, using the Expresses to extend the network, but struggling to get this to work over ethernet.
    I would be verry grateful of a step-by-step method to setting this up! I am also looking to set up 6 airport expresses to do the same thing in another location.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the info.
    I assume that the AirPort Extreme is setup and working at this point.
    Work with one AirPort Express at a time to get them all configured, and then you can locate them where they will be needed.
    AirPort Setup will configure the Express devices to "extend a wireless network" using Ethernet, so they will be broadcasting the same wireless signal as the AirPort Extreme and provide more wireless signal coverage as well.
    I have yet to meet the first person who thought that they had too much wireless coverage, but you would have the option to turn off the wireless on the Express if you wanted. Most users like having extended wireless for their devices.
    Temporarily, move an Express close to the AirPort Extreme
    Connect a spare Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Express
    Power up the Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Express for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Click the Airport icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for AirPort Express to appear just under the listing of New AirPort Base Station
    Click directly on the AirPort Express
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Express will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use....example.....Express1.....and click Next
    AirPort Setup will configure everything for you. Notice that the message will say that the Express is being set up to extend using Ethernet. When you see the message of setup complete, click Done.
    Now you can move the Express to the remote location where it is needed, hook it up to the Ethernet connection there, power up the Express and set up AirTunes on the device.
    AirTunes is enabled by default, to other than make the speaker connection, you won't have much to do on that.
    Set up other Express devices the same way, except assign a different name to each device....example....Express2, Express3, etc.....to keep things organized.

  • Internet over ethernet AND airtunes over wifi?

    okay, so I have my airport express plugged into the sterio, but it's not permitted to be connected to the office network. So, I plug my macbook pro into the ethernet in the wall, and connect to airtunes over the airport. It plays fine for a few minutes then loses the remote speakers.
    Is there any way to configure it to know that the only thing it does over airport is airtunes?

    for anyone who might be interested, it just started working on its own.

  • How to print on HP LaserJet 2200 over Ethernet?

    Hi,
    I did an upgrade to Snow Leopard and would like to print on a HP LaserJet 2200 over Ethernet. OS X and the HP printer drivers are up to date now.
    The printer has been cold reset and on the configuration print out there's the IP address 0.0.0.0
    Now my question is how to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard over Ethernet? I did not find a tutorial how to assign an IP address to the printer first so I got stuck.
    Could you give me a hint where I should start with the configuration first?

    OK, now the printer works
    I reset the router and checked if DHPC is running.
    I reset the printer (hold down the GO button, turn the printer on and continue to hold the GO button for five to ten seconds).
    Checked at router that the printer is visible as network device.
    At the router I assigned a fixed IP address to the printer.
    At OS X System Preferences > Printer I added a new printer with "HP Jetdirect - Socket", the fixed IP address and the correct printer driver "HP LaserJet 2200".
    Now the printer has been recognized well by the system (Tray 3, Duplex and printer RAM) and printing works.
    THANKS.

  • Mapping to disk on Airport Extreme's USB port from G5 over Ethernet

    I just set up my Airport Extreme network, with multiple machines (Windows XP, Vista, Mac G5, iPad and iPod Touch) sharing the internet connection via both Ethernet and WiFi without any problem.
    My XP and Vista machines are connected via WiFi, and I was asked to supply the shared disk's password, and once I provided it, I was able to see the drive attached to the USB port on the Extreme.
    My Mac G5 is connected to the Airport via Ethernet. It never asked me for the shared disk's password, adn I could not see the drive in Finder.
    Any suggestion on how to map to the shared drive over Ethernet will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! /Kenny

    Any suggestion on how to map to the shared drive over Ethernet will be greatly appreciated.
    It really shouldn't make any difference whether the G5 is connected by Ethernet or wireless, the AirPort Disk should be "visible" in the Finder sidebar.
    If not already, be sure that you have either or both "Connected servers" & "Bonjour computers" enabled in Finder Preferences > Sidebar.

  • BUG: Mail (GMAIL IMAP) no longer connects over ethernet, only wireless

    I too was puzzled last night when I couldn't get my gmail account to go online. I did a lot of reading, and tried various things (to no avail), but ultimately decided it was just a configuration error, or combination of other programs running...or maybe even (as read in other posts) Google's servers. I found the server problem unlikely though, since I could also log in via the web interface.
    Mysteriously, opening Mail on a separate MBP over either ethernet or wireless was 100% normal...as was the imap connection on my iPad via 3G or wireless...so what was causing my brand new MBAir to choke? Sleep on it, I said to myself.
    Well here I am on day 2 of Mail refusing to connect. Connection doctor always shows 'green' next to connection status (Mail was able to connect to the internet), but red for both imap and smtp servers, with messages reading "Mail could not connect to this IMAP/SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in Account preferences. Also verify the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL' checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences."
    I've eliminated the server issue, because my MBP still opened Mail just fine while connected to my network here at home.
    Then, just for fun, I decided to unplug my ethernet (which is attached via Apple's own USB Ethernet adapter), and turn on my wireless. Almost instantly, Mail popped to life on my MBAir, and started syncing with gmail/IMAP.
    In the two months I have owned this MBAir, getting Mail to work over ethernet had never been a problem. My issues seemed to parallel the recent influx of problems reported with gmail & IMAP.
    I still cannot get Mail to access gmail over the USB Ethernet Adapter. What gives, Apple? Anyone else experiencing these symptoms on these new MBAirs?
    Model Name: MacBook Air
    Boot ROM Version: MBA31.0061.B01
    SMC Version (system): 1.66f54

    Turns out I was a victim of my own [tight] security. I had a SOCKS proxy enabled on my Ethernet for when I take this laptop on the road...I used it to connect securely to my server back home. Obviously at home my SOCKS proxy was not connecting from within my private network. As soon as I removed the SOCKS proxy, voilá! GMAIL IMAP works perfectly over the USB Ethernet adapter once again.
    I hope this serves as a reminder to thoroughly check your network settings before driving yourself mad!
    Cheers!

  • Choosing the Right Network Protocol for CRIO 9024 to PXI over Ethernet

    We are in the design phase of setting up a CRIO 9024 Embedded Controller to send data captured to a PXIe-8105 Controller over ethernet. The data will be be 2D arrays of double precision. This data will need to be sent to the pxi at the end of each test step. Each step will have different number of channels and sample rates.
    For example,  Test Step 1 will have 5 channels of Analog inputs that will be sampled at 100,000 KHz for 1 second. This data will be coming from the CRIO FPGA. The data will get post processed by the CRIO 9024 and analyzed for pass or fail metrics. Then, the CRIO controller will send the 2D Array of Data (500,000 data points 5 X 100,000) and the results of all the metrics (a 1D array) to the PXI.
    The connection to the PXI will be using Ethernet.
    Keep in mind that the PXI will also have to send the CRIO some values to tell the CRIO when to start the test and when the test sequence is complete.
    I was thinking TCP/IP would work best because of the 2 way communication needed. But then I was looking at Network Streaming or even using Shared Variables.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please please post them.

    Hi,
    You could use either.  Whichever you are more comfortable with really.  The STM method will have slightly less overhead over my XML style of tagging the data but it will be very little given the data size.  Probably go with STM as it just has most of the work done for you.
    In terms of data size the way you should normally transfer data like this is to flatten to string.  If you convert to a string of human readable numbers you will either lose precision, increase size or both.  Given that, the string after being flattened will be the same size as the original array anyway so quick calculation based on your previous post 500,000 doubles (8 bytes) is 4 miB (3.8MB)

  • HT3231 Is it better to migrate to a new MacBook Pro using FireWire, from Time Machine, or over ethernet?

    Hello,
    Is it better to migrate to a new MacBook Pro (non Retina display) using FireWire, from Time Machine, or over ethernet? The older Mac is a MacBook (Intel, 2007 vintage). The Time Machine backup is to a Western Digital external drive with FireWire & USB ports.
    Thanks!
    Chips

    Thanks for the helpful reply.
    After posting, I read & researched further. We're going to be limited by the hardware – the MacBook & external drive both have FireWire 400, & we don't have a 400 to 800 cable or adapter. So we'll connect by ethernet, & be patient that it make take some time.
    I have to assume that Migration Assistant will be just as comprehensive regardless of the connection method / protocol.
    Best!

  • Dynamic bandwidth selection for PPPoE over Ethernet/VLAN

    Hello all, hope you are doing great.
    I'm planning to deploy PPPoE Server (Cisco Router 7609) for a ISP. This ISP will provide Internet connection for customer over Ethernet.

  • Streaming Problem - incomplete over ethernet

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with the streaming over ethernet from my Intel iMac, connected by ethernet to my Netgear WGR614v6 router, to my AppleTV (also connected to the router by ethernet).
    My iTunes library is around 120 GBs so I have chosen to stream the majority of my content and only sync the content that I cannot stream (photos). Most of my streaming seems to be OK but bizarrely there are a couple of items that I have updated in my iTunes Library that are not reflected on the AppleTV. These appear to be quite random and are not related (as far as I am aware) to problems with encoding.
    Basically I have a podcast subscription which I cancelled in my iTunes library which still appears on my AppleTV, I have a home movie (originally on VCD) in my iTunes Library which is not appearing on the AppleTV and I also have a couple of albums (encoded as VBR 250kbps .mp3 files) that are not appearing on the AppleTV.
    I have re-booted the iMac various times and done 2 factory restores of my AppleTV. Is there anything else I can do? Somehow I think the AppleTV just needs to be forced to re-examine the contents of my iTunes library?
    Any help or tips much appreciated.
    regards
    Raf

    Dear Winston and capaho - thanks for your quick responses.
    ROUTER - I did see some posts about issues with Netgear routers but they were all related to wireless connectivity issues. I am having no problems at all with streaming at sufficient rates and I imagine that issues with Linksys and Netgear routers pop up frequently because they seem to be ubiquitous devices for home users.
    FILE DELETION - I did check that the podcast from which I had unsubscribed really was deleted (and it was indeed gone) and I did check that the albums and home movie (.mp4 file as are all of my other movie files) was indeed present in my library.
    ITUNES LIBRARY.XML - I have identified this as the root of my problems because this .xml file still contains references to the old deleted podcast files and it does not contain references to the media I am missing.
    It appears that iTunes Library.xml corruption is a very common problem (seeing the number of posts on the "using iTunes for Mac" forum) and that is the source of my problem.
    Now to do some testing!
    thanks again
    Raf
    UPDATE: I quit iTunes, backed up and then deleted the .xml file from my "Music" folder in Mac OS X. When I next started iTunes it created a new .xml and this seemed to do the trick!
