Can I stream music to apple tv and airport express at the same time?

Does anyone know if I can stream music to both AppleTV and Airport Express (speakers) at the same time?
I have a TV in my living room and external speakers on my deck and want to stream music to both at the same time so I have the same music playing in both rooms - but I can't get an answer on IF I can do both at the same time or it I'd have to select one over the other?
Anyone know?

yes - the built-in music app allows to select one speaker only at the same time.
now i've found the WHAALE Multiroom Player App (http://www.whaale.com) - and it sends directly from the iOS Device to my 6 AirPlay speakers. One of them is an Apple TV...
all "in sync" and without any special hardware and additional software.
And i am able to stream different songs to different rooms...
Just AirPlay speakers - wifi router - WHAALE -> that's easy :-)

  • Can I stream music from Apple TV to airport express?

    Using Apple TV can I stream music for say apple radio to my apple airport express which is in another room and connected to a set of speakers?

    Yes.  It is in Settings, but I cannot tell you where at this moment.  Just click around in Settings, and you will see an Airplay drop down like on your Mac.
    Have a nice day.

  • Sharing Music with Computer and Airport Express at the same time?

    I just purchased and set up airtunes with some powered speakers.
    I cannot figure out how I can play the same music at the same time to shared computers and the Express Powered Speakers at the same time.
    Can you help me with configuring instructions please?
    iMac G5 with Airport Extreme and DSL w/ iTunes pointing to external hard drive music library.
    PowerBook G4 in the kitchen wireless can share music when computer is selected.
    Powered Speakers on the screen porch with Airport Express connected can only play music when Express is selected.
    How do I fix this so that when we have a dinner party we have the same music in the office, the kitchen and the screen porch all playing together at the same time?
    Thanks.
    I hope my question is clear as I really would love to sort this out before our party.

    Although your problem is slightly different, it seems that you are having the exact same issues that I had just two days ago - solved for me by Felix. If you check the link below, it goes through what I had to do, which was basically to update the software on my airport express base station, which he explains well:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=476631&tstart=30
    When I did it, it then gave me the option on iTunes (check the picture at http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/airtunes.html to see the magnified bit on iTunes) and then I could just choose multiple speakers concurrently.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using original airport and airport express at the same time

    I am currently using a G4 iBook (14 in, 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 10.3.9) with Airport Express, which works great. However, I'd also like to make my iMac (slot-loading, 500 MHz, 384 MB RAM, 10.2.8) wireless. The iMac will accept an original airport card with an adapter. Should I anticipate any problems combining old and new technology like this?
    Thanks!

    Hi - and thank you for answering my original question. However, I have run into a bit of a problem. The installation of the airport card in the G3 iMac went fine, and I can see the network under the airport icon. But, when I go to join the network, the password I use for the iBook doesn't work and I cannot join. I get either "There was an error joining the selected Airport network" or "The password is not correct for the selected network". Should I be able to join the existing network using the same password? Does this sound like a configuration problem?
    Some additional info which may not be relevant - my current setup with the iMac (prior to trying to go wireless) has the iMac connected to a Linksys cable/DSL router via an Ethernet cable. The DSL router is plugged into the original DSL modem I got from Earthlink. The router was added so that I can also use a laptop PC to work at home - but the PC laptop has not been plugged into the router during the time I've been trying to connect to the wireless network with the iMac. I'm told by the IT guys at work that the way things are connected and configured, the router does the actual dialing and not the DSL modem.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

  • Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?

    Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
    I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

  • Can you use 2 airport expresses at the same time?

    I want to play my iTunes through my computer speakers and up to 2 airport expresses at the same time, to fill my house with music without having to blast it in any one room, but iTunes will only play on the computer's speakers or through the airport express, but not both.
    Is there a hack to get it to play on multiple airports, like giving both airports the same identity or something?
    I could acheive this with extra speakers and lots of wires running all over the house, but I'd like to avoid that.

    Question: Can iTunes send a single AirTunes stream to multiple AirPort Express stations?
    Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware 6.3. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

  • HT3291 Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

    Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, this doesn't work directly from the Apple TV. However if you play the radio station from your computer you can send it via airplay to both devices, thereby achieving what you require.

  • My new Apple TV 2nd generation and computer cannot to my Airport Express at the same time, whats up?

    My Airport Express wont allow both my computer and new Apple TV to be conected at the same time. In Network Preferences I have to manually connect my Apple TV and when I do then it disconnects my computer. When I go to Network Preferences to manually connect my computer it disconnects my Apple TV. Both cannot be connected at the same time. Whats the fix?

    I've tried to set up the IP's manually, still doesn't work. In fact I get a message saying that there is another device trying to use my computers IP address of 00.0.0.0. Thats not my computers IP its my Airport IP. Then neither my computer nor my Apple TV can connect. I change things back to auto configuation its either the Apple TV or the computer which I have to change in Network Preferences. It even tells me that my computer is connected to my network in the status bar and in Network Preferences when it is not. I never had this problem with my old Apple TV (1st).

  • How can I connect my Apple TV and Airport Express to the rest of the network for the least lag?

    Hey guys,
    I have an Airport network here in the office.  All new Airport Extremes.  The internet comes into one, which then connects to our switches, which then connects to other Airport Extremes over ethernet.  Everything is setup to create its own network with the same SSID, and only the leader is the DHCP server.
    I recently added an Apple TV to the network, only it was too laggy for video chat.  I bought an Airport Express (for the audio), and ran ethernet to connect it to the network and the Apple TV, but things were still slow.
    Now, I set the Airport Express up as a DHCP server (with NAT) itself, with a separate SSID, and it's working great.  The only problem is that people would rather not have to switch wifi networks.  Is there any way around this?  BTW, the AirEx is complaining about Double NAT, which I understand is happening, but it's still working fine... it's really just the having to switch networks that's a problem for us.
    Thanks!

    Hi - as you probably know, double NAT is not recommended - you might have problems with some websites and updating - but if it is working that is great - as far as the Wi-Fi issue is concerned, you should still be able to create a wireless network with the same name an password as the rest of your network so no one has to switch.

  • How do I listen to music on my iMac and Bose Soundlink at the same time???

    I just bought a Bose Soundlink Color. However I can only listen to either the iMac or the soundlink. Not both at the same time. Can you do this and if you can how do I fix it. Thanks for any help.

    Use the multiple speakers option from the AirPlay menu.

  • Can I use Lightroom on my mac and my pc at the same time with only one subscription?

    Hello everyone,
    for five months now I have a Creative Cloud subscription for Lightroom and Photoshop. Till now I was just using it on my PC. Now I've bought me a MAC and would like to install Lightroom on the MAC either. Do I need a second subscription for MAC or can I use my subscription on the MAC and PC simultaneously?
    thx for feedback

    If you are asking if you can be running the subscription software on the two machines at the same time, the answer to that is no.  Per your license you can only be using one of the installations at a given time.
    If you are asking if you can have the software installed and capable of being used on both machines then the answer is yes... you just cannot have both machines in use  running the subscription software at the same time.

  • Can I use BOTH Verizon DSL Wireless AND DISHnet Wireless at the same time?

    Waiting for Dishnet contract to die and rot away but about 2 months to go.  Want to get with Verison Standard DSL Wireless as no data cap tho slower.
    I can just wait till Dishnet dies and keep bumping into data caps with the Dish service OR can I get the DSL setup and use one connex for the iMac and one for the iPad without any conflicts?
    I am so ignorant of technology that I see a Swing-a-Way hand crank can opener as a marvel of industrial magic,....so please talk simple words to me, :-) 
    Thanks
    DH

    Sign up for the fastest DSL package that you can. Even if the overall speed is slower, the fact that you won't be going over a satellite connection anymore should make the Internet *that* much faster. The Wireless Gateway should come included.
    You can use both services at once, although note that determining how you plan to use both at the same time is going to be another story. Some people use Dual WAN routers (as in, routers that accept two Internet connections and can balance between the two). Others will use the connections separately, by moving devices between the two connections as needed.

  • Can external HD connect to PS3 and Airport Extreme at the same time?

    I currently have a external HD connected to my PS3 to play vids. Can I connect a AirPort Extreme to that HD at the same time to wirelessly drop files on the HD to play on the PS3?
    Thanks

    Most likely, no. How do you propose that you would connect this drive to both devices simultaneously? Via a USB hub?

  • Can iTunes play 2 different songs on 2 different airport express at the same time?

    Hi
    I am trying to setup a multi zone home audio system where iTunes will be the main source of music.   I would like to be able to listen to different music in multiple zones at the same time and I am trying to find out if iTunes can support this or not.  I know there are "multi zone audio systems" that can be purchases from different companies (elan, Russound, Control4, etc) but I want to see if this functionality exists within Apple hardware before purchasing a different system.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    using two TV's you could do what you want. you'd have to select the content to stream on the units themselves or use Apple's remote app on an iDevice.
