Can i stream music directly from ipad 2 to an airport express

Hi i currently am looking for a solution, is it possible to send music directly from my iphone4 and ipad2 directly to an airport express which inturn will be connected to my home hifi via the optical out.
I am getting confilicting info from the web with some suggestions that i will have to have my pc switched on and use the iphone/ipad as a remote and the music coming from my pc.
I'm not keen on this as i dont want to have my pc switched on to play music.
Thanks
Karl

If you notice in the instructions for the recent software update instructions, apple asked everyone to reset all settings first before updating the apple tv software.  If you missed this step, this is the reason why you are getting this error.
The solution is annoying but it works. You need to go into general settings and choose to reset all your current settings.  Doing this will reset your apple tv and allow the recent software update to fully take effect.  You just need to enter your original setup information for apple tv the same way you did when you first installed your apple tv unit.
Hope this helps....

  • Can I stream music direct from my itouch to the airport express?

    Hello everyone
    Can you help a noobie, I've got an ipod touch and would like to stream music, you tube video etc wirelessly to a set of powered speakers directly from the itouch and am wondering if the airport express would allow me to do this?
    Thanks
    Gary

    The ultimate answer, no you cannot. This might be something that is worth looking into, (the website below), though. Then you could stream it to a computer, then to Airport.

    If Airplay is avaialble on your iPod Touch and it should be, and your AE is connected to a stereo system or to some speakers, yes.

  • Apple TV, how to stream music directly from iPad or iPhone

    I have an iPad 1 and an iPhone4. I have just bought an Apple TV and successfully connected it to the network. I can play from my iTunes library on my computer, but can you play directly from an iPad or iPhone without running iTunes thru a laptop? I turned on Home Sharing on all my devices, but when I'm in iTunes on my laptop I can't see the iPad or iPhone anywhere.

    You need to use AirPlay to play contents on your iPad or iPhone, go into your setup on Apple TV and make sure Airplay is on, then go to your iOS device and play a move or song and then click on the triangle in the box in the right corner and select AirPlay is should start playing on your TV via Apple TV. 

  • HT1515 My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?

    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • Can I stream things directly from the time capsule to my AppleTv without using my computer?

    I have an older MacBook and I'm worried about the storage so I want to get things moved to a Time Capsule.  I was just wondering if I can stream things directly from the Time Capsule to the AppleTV without having to store them in iTunes on my computer and play them off of there.

    You cannot stream from a TC .. it is not a media device.. you can store movie files on the TC but you still need to run the computer to play them.
    Depending on how you connect this can cause dramatic slowdowns.
    A WD Live TV can play raw movie files from a TC.. because it is not a media streamer which is all the ATV is, it is a full media player.

  • Can I transfer music directly from an iPod touch 4th generation to an i-Phone 4?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I can transfer music directly from an iPod touch 4th generation to an i-Phone 4. All the music I have is in this iPod, since I had my music stored in a portable hard drive that broke.
    Thank you

    All the music I have is in this iPod
    Sorry no, but if you have synced your iTunes purchases from the iPod to your computer, connect the iPhone. From the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From iPod...
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    Or, if you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, and iOS 4.3.3, you can re download the music directly to the iPhone.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Can i play music directly from time capsule?

    can I play music accessed from time capsule so that I don't have to use up room on my computer?

    If you want to move your itunes library to the TC we recommend you don't.. the TC is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.. it might appear vaguely like a NAS but it has zero ability to backup files.. and fails with surprising frequency. and is slow.. and what happens when you corrupt your itunes library.
    If you just want to put individual files and play from there.. well neither is it a media player. Basically TC fails at anything and everything except being a TM backup target.

  • Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

    I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
    When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
    Any ideas gratefully received?

    Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
    The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
    Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.

  • Can I stream e mails from iPad to TV using Apple TV

    Can I stream e mails to a TV using iPad and Apple TV. I do not want to use TV as keep board only for visual purpose.

    Anything that is shown on your iPad display can be mirrored onto a TV using an AppleTV and the AirPlay feature.

  • Can I play music direct from my iPhone to my stereo via AirPort Express?

    Rather than using my iPhone as a remote control for my MacBook Pro music, can't I just play the music on the iPhone wirelessly through my new AirPort Express to my stereo? If so, how?

    Assumng your on the same wireless network youu should be able to.(I've done it with mine, and a even a friends iphone)
    While playing a song select the little upward facing triangle in a box then select your Airport Express...
    For further/better info on the topic you want to search for is AirPlay... from Apple's general support (or maybe even the older version AirTunes)

  • Using my iPad to stream music.... Bluetooth or airport express

    Hi
    I have a nice hifi system and use it for listening to cd's when I want to listen and also stream from my iPad when I want background music and to run play lists etc.
    Can't do away with my cd's as I want audiofile quality for serious listening and as my iPad is near full... I can't load all my CDs etc in apple lossless format, I haven't got the space left.
    So, to my question on streaming to my hifi system.
    I do it through an airport express and connect to my amp with the airport express jack output via a mini jack to RCA cable.
    Now, I'm looking at getting a dacmagic digital to analogue converter.
    So, I can take the digital signal from my cd and improve quality... So far so good.
    I then realised I could use the mini jack on airport express with a mini optical toslink cable (the output is both a mini jack and mini optical digital output),
    to take the digital signal directly to the Dac.
    Then I hear the dac also comes with its own bluetooth adapter so I could stream directly to the Dac From my iPad with Bluetooth.
    My question is.... Which will give me the best quality from my iPad...
    With Bluetooth or airport express digital optical signal.
    If anyone can give me the pros and cons of each I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

    I finally figured it out!  I needed to extend my my network using my Verizon Wireless network but then under the Music icon on the Airport Utility, I selected Enable Airplay and selected an iTunes speaker name that is the same as the name chosen for my Airport Express name.  This way, I can connect to my wireless network which the Airport Express is extending, but select my Airport Express as the speaker.  Woohoo!

    That's about the rate most streams on apps put out, There are 3 settings on most of these min, med and high and theze other setting needs more than 400kbps for better quality. Sky Go min rate is 250kbps but I can't remember the other 2 sorry. Lets hope with 400kbps is more stable than sky rates as on times I can't use sky go as it stops with poor quality playback, which is a joke as I've done speed test on my tabs and I get 35Mb which shows that there is a bug in their app but they don't belive it lol.
    What is the quality like when output to a HD TV.
    I do have vision and have noted that although Drama's etc are find from on demand if you watch a fast moving sport like football from the on demand section the quality of the picture is poor.
    I have tried looking it up but everywhere I look seems to state that you can't put Sky Go to a TV from another device, it is blocked.
    All the best

  • Can't Remove Music Video from iPad

    I have been searching the various forums and discussions and have not found a solution to this problem that worked. My daughter has an iPad which is registered under my name and is using my iTunes account. There are couple of music videos that I wish to remove from the iPad. I am running the latest iOS on the fourth generation iPad.
    I manually deleted the videos from my iTunes and the iMac. In iTunes on my iMac,  I don't have the option for syncing music and videos selected. I already ran a iPad sync via iTunes hoping to would update and remove them.
    The music videos still show up on the iPad. How do I delete them from there?

    Try this:
    On your iPad go to Settings>General>Usage>Videos
    If the video you want to remove is listed, swipe to the left on the video name to reveal the red Delete button. Press Delete.
    Hope this helps!!!!

  • My MacBook Pro can't stream my iTunes library over AirPlay to my AirPort Express.

    The option shows up in iTunes but I can't click on it. I've tried turning AirPlay on and off and turning the router on and off and nothing has worked yet.

    I did set the printer to have a fixed IP address, no luck.
    I had done a disk verification as well, no luck.
    But then I did a disk permission verification and repair, finally it's fixed! - but it took me 2 afternoon just trying to fix this printing problem.
    So I recommend anyone who has the similar problem should do a disk permission verification and repair.
    Thanks for your help anyway Sig.
