C3 Pre Purchase Question _ Stream Music via Blueto...

I'm interested in getting a C3 and have a question I haven't been able to find the answer to ?
Will it stream music via Bluetooth to my car deck or is the bluetooth connection phone only ?
Thanks

Hi
I would not waste your money on an Airport Express, i bought one recently and had nothing but problems with it dropping out for a few seconds when streaming airtunes. This is a known issue and there are lots of people having problems with this drop out issue and appears to be no fix for it,save your money and dont buy one

Using iPad to Stream Music via ax.?

Hello,
IS IT possible to use an iPad to stream Music via my AX To speakers or my Home Stereo?

IS IT possible to use an iPad to stream Music via my AX To speakers or my Home Stereo?
No, at this point in time, it is not possible to stream from your iPad to an AX.
However, it is possible to stream from an iTunes host to the iPad. (ref: Airfoil Speakers Touch)

TA24778 iPad - dropouts when streaming music via blue tooth to sound devices (Boom Box etc.).

Hello,
I use my iPad as a central music store.
But -when trying to stream music via Blue Tooth I get dropouts all the time.
It doesn't matter how far away I am, or where I'm using it. It gets a bit better when deactivating the BT Keyboard (yes, shame on me, I'm using the old style way to hack text into the Pad...), but I still get dropouts.
I checked everything, batteries are fully loaded, dis- and reconnect several times, reboot, etc.
On my devices (Logitech adapter for my home-hi-fi, Soundbric) I get the same result.
Any Ideas?
(Sorry - I can only choose "Using iPhone" as category, although I chose iPad first... Do I need to understand this?)

I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

Stream music via Airport Express vs. Apple TV

I purchased some Vanatoo Powered Speakers (amazing speakers) with Digital Audio in and was planning on streaming music from my iphones, iPad, mac, etc... via Airplay. I purchased an Airport Express and plugged it to the Speakers with an optical cable.
I have a network with an Airport Extreme and good signal, however, whatever the channel I selected, the music keeps dropping out every now and then during playback. I wanted to see if the problem would also occur with my Apple TV. I plugged it to the speakers and the problem was GONE! The Apple TV works much better and no dropped signal! Now I need to replace my Airport Express with an Apple TV! I don't understand why Apple cannot fix the problem of Airplay playback on Airport Express!

I have a same problem using the Airport Express to my DAC, but Apple TV is doing without any drop out.
I don't know the reason, but there is a suggestion in audiophile to install a 3rd party software, e.g. Audiravana plus, which allows the music to go to memory (RAM) and a slightly delay to play.

Apple TV - Pre-purchase questions

Hi,
I am planning to buy the Apple TV. But before I make the purchase I would like to clarify a few of questions...
1. Can it stream music from my iphone, ipod touch and itunes - like Airport Express? or Do I need to purchase Airport Express separately. I know I can use my ipod as a remote.
2. Can I attach an external HDD to it?
3. Can I add personal videos to it? of they have to be purchased from iTunes?
4. Can it read and play non-iTunes stuff?
5. Does it needs a constant connection with PC/Mac or can it store content and play without a computer?
6.
I know these questions might sound stupid, but staff in Apple's Indian stores are not very savvy to answer everything... and I don't want to make a wrong purchase.

no, you can only stream from itunes
2. Can I attach an external HDD to it?
no
3. Can I add personal videos to it? of they have to be purchased from iTunes?
you can use your own content as well as purchased content
4. Can it read and play non-iTunes stuff?
yes, providing it's in the correct format for appletv
5. Does it needs a constant connection with PC/Mac or can it store content and play without a computer?
you can sync content to the appletv so that you don't need the pc to be on.

HT4628 Intermittent reception when streaming music via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. Is this a problem with the Extreme?

i get intermittent reception when I stream music from I Tunes via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. I Tunes continues to play uninterupted on the Mac. The problem does not lie with the Express as it occurs on both of my 2 Express at the same time. is this a problem with the Extreme?

Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
One explanation I see:
my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
Anyone's got anything to add?

How can I stream music via AirPlay but still have an internet connection?

Hi guys,
Ive just bought an Airplay speaker but I seem to be missing something here as I can't figure out how to stream my audio on my iPhone to the AirPlay speaker but still use the internet by either WiFi or 3G at the same time. I stream all my music using iTunes Match or Spotify.
There are volume buttons, a power button and wifi button on the AirPlay speaker. The instructions state to press the wifi button for a few seconds then it will appear as a wifi connection on other devices. And so it does. It comes up in my wifi list on my iPhone and on my Mac too. So as it suggests, I connect to the speaker's wifi connection, and if I go to the Control Centre, AirPlay gives me the option to choose the speaker and it connects to it fine. It streams music that's locally on my iPhone, but when I try to connect to Spotify, stream something using iTunes Match or just use the internet on my phone, there's absolutely no connection. Of course it seems to be using the speaker as the primary and only connection to the internet.
If I try to connect back to my home wifi network, I get my internet connection back, but lose connection to the AirPlay speaker! It just disappears altogether. So what am I doing wrong here?
I've tried the same on my Mac but having the exact same problem. Can anyone please advise me where I'm going wrong?
Other notes: I am using a Virgin Media Superhub 2 with dual band 2 and 5 GHz connection options, Technika AirPlay Speaker, iPhone 5S and a MacBook Pro.
Thank you in advance!

You're not setting things up properly. You need to first connect this speaker to YOUR network, not create a network using the speaker. I suspect there is a setup menu for this speaker to do so. Check the documentation or the maker's web site for instructions.

Itunes 8.2.23 upgrade, now won't stream music via airport express

i (mistakenly) installed yesterday's upgrade to itunes and now when i stream music to my airport express it will play a couple of songs and then i won't get any sound. the song is still "playing" in itunes but it isn't being streamed to my digital receiver. if i pause the song and start it again i'll hear it but after a bit a new song will do the same thing.
i seem to remember having this problem after the last update but can't remember what i did to remedy it. i think i reverted back to the previous version but i'm hearing that i can't do that from this version.

Hey I'm on the phone with the Apple Rep now ( who will remain nameless ) here are the steps:
1. System Prefs
2. Go into SECURITY
3. Click on FIREWALL
4. Select SET ACCESS FOR SPECIFIC SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS
5. Click the "+" Button to "Add" iTunes
6. Restart iTunes
You may need to "Add" Other Stuff that you normally use like Skype, Or Logmein.com, etc...
I believe that in the the future Apple may have a better fix for this... the rep is saying he will escalate it...
Seems to be working fine... we'll see who it goes long term and after some restarts... I'm not sure if it's because of the work we did re-installing and changing setting but I'm getting the soccer ball of death right now... be curious to see what others find out.

What's the best format for streaming music via bluetooth?

I've got a really nice car stereo that I had installed a number of years ago. I just replaced the head unit with a Pioneer unit that allows me to stream music from my iPhone 6+. It supports A2DP.
Right now I've got my music encoded as MP3 files at 320 kbps. Should that be sufficient or is there something about the A2DP profile that perhaps would make another format (like AAC) a better choice?
I just want this to sound as good as possible. Thanks for any advice.

Then adjust the equalizer settings on the head unit. The difference in sound quality between the formats would be negligible.

Is it possible to stream music via bluetooth from an iphone 4S to a Windows 8 pc?

I have a Windows 8 laptop (HP Envy 6-1113TX) with bluetooth capabilities, I thought it would be straightforward to pair the phone with the PC and stream music to my laptop speakers...not so, both devices report being connected but I can't seem to establish any audio services - has anybody been able to do this?

Question about streaming music using AE with Time capsule

I have a time capsule with over 120gb of music stored on it. I'd like to be able to stream this music directly from the time capsule to an airport express connected to a stereo in another room. I do have an iPhone 3G with the remote app. (I have not got the airport express, yet.)
I am really hoping that I can use the iPhone remote app to control the music playing through the airport express, without having to have a computer turned on and runing iTunes.
I believe this is possible with Apple TV, but since I don't own a TV or monitor other than my laptop screen, that isn't the most practical solution.
So, can I use airport express to stream music from a time capsule, without having to run iTunes on my MacBook?
Thanks.
SevenDog

No.
You would have to have itunes running in order to stream music, or, as you point out, have an appleTV

IMac 27" pre-purchase questions

Good Afternoon,
I am really close to ordering myself one of the new 27" iMacs but am struggling with the customisation options (who doesn't!)
This will be my first ever Apple Mac computer and I have tried to find answers to my questions elsewhere without much success.
For background info, I am not (and never will be) a professional photographer, videographer or music producer - I just want an iMac that will allow me to do all three tasks amazingly smoothly and maybe the odd bit of gaming - either using MAC software or PC software via Bootcamp or Parrallels 8.
So onto my first question - I already own an ICYDock MB559U3S-1SB Slim USB 3.0 & eSATA External HDD Enclosure and using a MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" to 3.5" SATA SSD / Hard Drive Converter - I've fitted it with a Crucial 256Gb M4 SSD - leaving me feeling the cost of the 1TB Fusion Drive @ £200 may be unnecessary.
Will I be able to boot the new iMac from my external SSD?
If yes, what's the best way to connect it to the iMac - via USB3.0 cable or eSATA using something like the Lacie eSATA Hub http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10574)
Assuming the iMac was booted from the ICYDock + SSD - would it be possible to (hot) unplug the 'boot' enclosure and insert a 'data' HDD enclosure without causing any problems whilst the iMac is on?
Would Bootcamp work from the ICYDock + SSD?
I have recently sold my Core i5 Windows PC to help fund the purchase of the iMac and to be fair, this Intel CPU handled everything I wanted to do on my PC with ease. It was fitted with 12Gb Corsair 1600MHz ram and an nVidia 660Ti 1596Mb PCI-e x16 graphics card. I'm therefore debating whether the i7 upgrade is actually going to provide me with a noticeable (+£160) performance boost. I will definitely be upgrading the memory to 32Gb myself and opting for the 680MX with 2GB DDR5 upgrade option.
2. Would you recommend I go for the i7 upgrade or will the i5 turbo boosted to 3.6Ghz suffice?
I'm still not sure if Bootcamp/Parrallels gets to use 100% or 50% of system resources or whether it's a user configurable option within Mountain Lion?
Does Hyper-Threading help when using plugins in Logic Pro?
Lastly, when it comes to upgrading the memory in the new iMac 27" - can anyone confirm if this Corsair memory fits comfortably / works well?

Many thanks for your time and insight

I'll be mostly using it as my main computer for everyday tasks along with learning Logic Pro.
My son is currently studying Film and Photography at College so he will use it infrequently for catching up on his course work - he mostly uses Final Cut and Adobe Suite.
One other thing I forgot to mention is connectivity to an existing 5.1 speaker system - If I buy a Mini Jack (Toslink) to Optical Cable and plug it into the headphone jack on the rear - will it automatically output to 5 channels or will I just get 2 x Stereo output?
Apologies if these are simple questions its just I don't have access to or know anyone who owns a Mac.
I'll be looking to join a MUG nearby once I have my new machine - but not before as it would frustrate me more if I could not come home and try out some of the tips I hope to pick up

Pre-Purchase Question, please...

Dear Forum:
I have all or most of the technical considerations answered, regarding my decision to purchase a new MacPro 2.8, 10 gig ram, three 750 HD running Logic8.
The one final and perhaps just as important question is this:
After viewing the MacPro and Logic forums here for awhile, the one thing that I don't see is official support.
I can spend a lot of money for the new system and appart from the actual Mac as a machine with 3 year support for the machine/OS issues, I can't call or write here for official support, like I could with another software company or can I?
I thing it would be necessary to have such access because we are customers and waiting around for another customer to perhaps unofficially give me thier inpression is better than nothing, but I could site the many issues reported here with various problems or hard-to-find answers regarding the use of just MacOS and its file structure, etc.
What do we have as customer support officially regarding Logic and MacPro working in tandem?
Phil

dear poster:
for every issue you can site that is found in a forum supporting issues with a program, hardware or the OS, i can only imagine there are 10 or more people not posting how well everything seems to be working. I use logic and fcs on my mac pro and have not yet had any problems.
as far as support for software, do you really want support from the company. personally, and in my experience, i would rather get community support from real users of the software that bank on experience, not scripts.
This goes for any software package. I'd rather have a professional that uses the program brainstorming on how to do something rather then listen to someone in a call center venturing a guess.
if it is an issue or defect, then you talk to apple through feedback to get it resolved.
from my experience, working with a mac pro and logic, i haven't had any problems. if i did, i would report them to apple.
but i go back, reading the few problems here in the forums compared to the number of users NOT posting here, seems to me like everything is in pretty good order.
Plus, if you purchase Logic Studio, i believe you get 90 days of support from apple. so if you are setting up a system, i think they have you covered from top to bottom with hardware and software support if you need it.
