Can I link Apple TV to stereo wirelessly?

Hi. I want to get Apple TV for my parents. Their TV and stereo are on opposite sides of the room and they do not want to run wires across. I'm hoping to find a way to link the Apple TV to the stereo wirelessly.
Apple Express has been suggested, but I bought one some time ago and after a week of trying to install it myself (and finding many, many people in forums who have been equally stymied) called in a local Mac expert who also was unable to breach it's mysteries. It ended up in the trash. I'm not willing to put my folks through that frustration. Does anyone know of another option?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Routing through the stereo is paramount. They want to be able to wirelessly play the music on their iPad through their stereo which routes to multiple speakers throughout the house.
I guess there's nothing else I can do. Unfortunately, Airport Express seems to be very much hit or miss; not even my Mac guy could install it for me, and he has one at his house. I'll give the option to my folks and make sure they can return both easily if AE doesn't work.
Thanks again. Sorry it took so long to respond.

Can I link apple tv and watch sky as a sky subscriber?

Hi All
I am thinking of purchasing an Apple TV as a colleague seems to think I can link this to the TV in the bedroom and watch Sky. I am a Sky subscriber but I am of the opinion that this would stop multiroom subscriptions if we could all do this. Can someone please advise.
Many thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
Short answer, no.
Sky subscribers though are entitled to the sky app for iPad and iPhone for free, when iOS5 is released you should then be able to mirror the iOS display via your Apple TV and watch on your TV.

How can I link Apple TV (Gen1) to Time Capsule (Gen 4)?

Everyone
I am using a the above mentioned Time Capsule as privat WiFi Network for our devices at home (MacBook Pro, iPhones & iPads). The Time Capsule itself is connected to a DSL Modem by means of an ethernet cable. So far so good.
Newly I have got an Apple TV (Gen1) from a friend of mine and have also connected this device to same DSL Modem again by means of an ethernet cable.
Everything works with ecception of the syncronisation between the Apple TV and iTunes.
Unfortunately, Due to my limited understandig with technical matters I need some support in enabling this function. I guess that the Apple TV should communicate with iTunes within the same network and I suppose that the Apple TV should be linked to the Time Capsule instead of he DSL modem.
Before I do a mess, and have to deal with a reconfiguration some advice would be more then welcome.
Thank you for your time and advice
Best wishes, Andrea

Can't connect Apple Tv 3 To Wireless - "There was a problem.... (-369033213)

Having a problem connecting and Apple Tv 3 (IOS 7.0.1) to our wifi at work.
Create a profile using Apple Configurator, with Wifi settings;
Service Set Identifier
<NAME OF WIRELESS NETWORK>
WPA2 Enterprise,
Protocols set to PEAP
and the username and password set for a valid account.
We get the error;
"There was a problem connecting to the network.
Check your settings and try again. (-369033213)"
Any ideas?

don't think they make a profit selling appletv's think they rely on making the money on itunes store purchases, in which case spending resources on getting them to play nicely on corp networks maybe somewhat low priority as there they would not be used in a way which made any money for them

HT4145 Can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station

Hi All,
need advise on whether can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station and if can how do I set it up.
with regards and thank you
Chris

If your goal is to either extend the D-Link's Wi-Fi network with the AirPort or the other way around, then the answer is no. That is because, most non-Apple routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.

Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers?

Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers without turning the tv on, or do I also need to purchase airport express device?

Well, this is a C&P from your link:
With Apple AirPlay and Audio Pro Wireless you can stream iTunes playlists and songs from your Mac, iPad and iPhone wirelessly to Living speakers or RX100 receivers anywhere in your home. Just connect our transmitter to an Airport Express and select your Airport Express unit as sound device on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Now let the music flow.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

Can I link 2 apple ids

My son was on a linked apple id now I have created my own how can he retain his downloads from his old account

When iOS 8 is released, users will have the ability to Family Share content even if using different Apple ID's If you keep the old account, assuming it's in the family somewhere, he may be OK.

How can I link all Apple accounts to my Apple Id

Over the years, I have aquired user and pass words fo iCloud, Apple.com, Apple id, Apple iPod, Apple iTouch and Apple iTunes. Can I link all of these to my new Apple ID?

All Apple services use your Apple ID, so just sign into the service using the new ID you wish to use.
You will not, however, be able to transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store from an old Apple ID to a new one, nor will there be any way to change an existing iCloud account to a new one so that any documents or backups stored there will transfer over. Nor any way to change an existing iTunes Match account to a new Apple ID that I am aware of.

Can some one translate these instructions D-Link DI-524: installation as wireless HUB/Bridge General ON ALL TYPES OF ROUTERS DHCP SERVER HAS TO BE DISABLED ON ALL TYPES OF ROUTERS UPnP ALSO HAS TO BE DISABLED OTHERWISE YOU CAN SEVERELY HINDER OTHER USE

D-Link DI-524: installation as wireless HUB/Bridge
General
ON ALL TYPES OF ROUTERS DHCP SERVER HAS TO BE DISABLED
ON ALL TYPES OF ROUTERS UPnP ALSO HAS TO BE DISABLED
OTHERWISE YOU CAN SEVERELY HINDER OTHER USERS IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD!
Practical example: D-Link DI-524
The DI-524 is a wireless router.Although the manufacturer doesn't mention this, you can also install this device as a wireless hub.Of course this is not supported by the manufacturer. Therefor you have nowhere to go in case of any problems Plug in the power cord of the DI-524. Do not yet connect the network cable!Search for existing wireless networks with your computer. Connect with the router.This can for example be done like this:
Click the start-button (at the bottom in the left corner of your screen).
Go to control panel
Go to internet connections (you may have to choose classic representation first)
You can now see your wireless network card, among other things. Right-click and 'View available Wireless networks'.
Connect to the router. In most cases the router will be called 'default'.Check your IP-address: you get an IP address from the DI-524
Go to the start-button
Go to 'Run'
Type 'cmd' and press enter
type 'ipconfig' and press enter
your IP address starts with 192.
Surf to your router with your regular browser. For this you need the address and a password, which you can find in the documentation.
In this case the address is 192.168.0.1
Now you must secure the router. For this it is best to use WPA-PSK
Your key is a randomly chosen sentence. Don't make this sentence too short.
Warning: Case sensitive!
You cannot reach the router anymore now.
Go back to your network card via "make connection". Search for your wireless network again and make a new connection
You are asked for a key. Supply this key the way you configured it in your router.
Surf back to the router.
Disable the DHCP server.
!! YOU HAVE TO DISABLE UPnP ON ALL TYPES OF ROUTERS
OTHERWISE YOU CAN SEVERELY HINDER OTHER USERS IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD!
for this, go to Tools, Misc and switch off UPnP
Save these settings.
If you do not have a D-link router, look up in the manual or somewhere else where you can disable UPnP
Now you cannot reach the router anymore again.
It is only from this moment that you can connect the router to the modem.
Important: Use one of the 4 LAN ports. Never use the WAN port!
Go to your network card via the control panel. Right-click and "Repair"
Now you should get an IP-address in the range of 10.nnn.nnn.nnn
If you still don't have 192... you've made an error. The DI-524 still functions as a router and this is not allowed!

There are no Mac based instructions. The router is accessed and adjusted the same way whether you are using a Mac OS X, Windows or Linux. As noted in the other post it is done through your web browser which works the same from any computer. Even a Chrome Book.

Mac Pros don't support Airplay. Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.

Can I turn my soon to be old Apple TV into a wireless hard drive???

Can I turn my soon to be old Apple TV into a wireless hard drive???

Exactly. That's my question? There's a 40gb hard drive about to be tossed if I were to purchase the new Apple TV. I assume there are features the new one will have that old does not...?
Either way still a good question because there is a 40gb hard drive that has just been sitting there unused. It would nice if it could be used as a data storage device.
Currently I just stream content thru the Apple TV or rent movies directly from the ATV (not at the computer and then wait for them to transfer to the hard drive)
