Can i use Airplay with other applications different to iTunes on my Mac Pro?

Hi,
I bought a Mac Pro 13' Retina Display two weeks ago and today i bought a Bose SoundTouch 20 and i connected both to my home network by ethernet cord. when i try to use applications like iTunes to send the sound of a song from mac to bose it work perfect, but when i try to do the same with spottily (i downloaded the app for my mac) simply doesn't work and don't know why. Another issue is that either can't send the sound of the movies and videos from mac to bose (i already try this using this configuration: send by airplay the movie to apple tv and from apple tv send the sound to bose, all work perfect because all was connected with ethernet cord).
So the question is, Anyone know why the Airplay function only work with iTunes and with other applications simply doesn't?

AirPlay only works with iTunes for Mac OS, iOS devices, and Apple TV.
Not third party (non Apple) apps such as Spotify
If the Bose Sound Touch supports Bluetooth, you may be able to stream music to the Mac or Apple TV. That's for sound, not video.

  • Can i use labview with other applications

    Hi,
    I was wondering if i could use an application written in c++ with labview...
    like the whole application has a lot of feactures... and kind of acts like a
    debugger for our products....
    So, how would i be able to combine this application with labview...
    Ne thoughts of doing it in some other way...would also be appreciated..
    thx
    Abhimanyu...
    (also please refer to my last post...from yesterday)

    Well i don't think there is easier way of bring your VC++ app with graphics into labview unless you create an ActiveX control (which would be laborious) out of it using ATL/MFC. Then calling that ActiveX control in ActiveX container in labview and use the exported properties and method of that control.
    But if you want to get the functionality transported, the best way i would go with is writing DLL that exports functions from your C++ app and call that DLL in labview.

    Can I use Airplay with dvd to watch dvd on my tv via AppleTV 3?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. If your Mac is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can watch your DVD in your TV with the Apple TV. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 You just have to play the DVD on your MacBook and turn on AirPlay Mirroring.
    If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party app like Beamer

  • If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

    If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

    You need to clarify where you are as Virgin Mobile are a Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) brand however the terms and offers differ in each country.
    If you are in the USA the brand is actually franchised and operated by Sprint .
    Operating on Sprint CDMA and LTE frequency bands.
    The CDMA radio will be provioned to work off of the Sprint towers - This IS locked down and can't be used on any other network -for instance Verizon.
    The phones GSM Sim card holder and radios should be unlocked but we won't know for sure until the handsets are available to test.
    The models in question are the A1453 - 5S ad A1456- 5C- these support the most channel frequencies of any iPhone , however NOT the all important European LTE band 7 (2600mhz)
    So it is highly likely that the Virgin USA model will have unlocked SIM and GSM support will work on all European 3G and most earlier 2 and 2.5G networks however may have patchy to no European LTE support.
    Note that comment reqarding 2G (GPRS) and 2.5 G (Often called Edge) - A number of European countries and mobile operators are re-provisionng (reusing) frequencies in the 800mhz spectrum to 800DD (digital) for future LTE and where this takes place normal subscibers without LTE contracts will loose service in some areas.
    This is already taking place in the UK - Beware.
    Virgin Mobile UK are not currently an Apple iPhone dealership.
    And other countries with the band including Canada, France and India I have information about.

  • Using AirTunes with other applications

    What I want to do is to stream the audio output from the 2 laptops in my house (MacBooks with Leopard) wirelessly to a hi-fi. I know an AirPort Express will do this with iTunes, but I don't think it will work with other applications, which is what I want.
    Am I right, and is there any cost-effective way to do what I want to do (Apple solution or not)?
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

    I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
    No internet connection is available at the location.
    Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
    I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
    I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
    Thanks for any help!

    Ok so we now have a solution to the problem.   A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped.  Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable  (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express.  In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned.  We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name.  We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router.  I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name.  I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
    No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't Use Video with other Mac users who use AIM

    I know that ichat is compatible for video chats with other pc users who use aim, but does it work with other mac users who use aim?
    Everytime I try to chat with my friend, I get an error message when trying to start of a video chat.
    BTW, I use a iMac G5 with an isight camera.

    Hi Staci,
    For a Bit of Clarity.
    AOL have their Instant Message App. referred to as AIM.
    Apple decided and did a deal with AOL that iChat could join their service Buddy Lists.
    On these Discussions we tend to refer iChat as Logging into AIM, as they are the servers that the Buddy Lists are held on.
    As iChat can also use Bonjour and Jabber, both of which have their own Buddy list window on your Mac. The Jabber side needs you to have a Jabber screen name - so again people differentiate between this and the AIM side.
    I would guess you friend is trying to make it clear that she is using the AIM side of iChat as opposed to the Jabber side.
    As has been said already, the Application side of things also tend to get referred to generically as "AIM" as well.
    The Mac version has stopped and 4.7 and will only Text chat.
    The PC side needs 5.9 to clearly Video or Audio chat with a Mac using iChat. (AIM 6.0 is not stable enough to A/V chat to iChat).

  • How do I write a cluster of an array to a file that can be looked at with other applications?

    I have a cluster of array that are different data types. How do I write this to a file, so that other applications can read it, i.e. notepad etc?

    Each elements of the array has a cluster of different data. It is unbundled and separated by a comma , then converted to a string. It is indexed out to a CSV array and then written to a spreadsheet file. The spreadsheet file reads it and outputs a CSV array. This is then going into for loop to reassemble the string output to its original clustered data representation. The iterations puts the clusters back into the array at the correct indexed position.hint: the for loop is the key to manipulating the array data...this VI is like an egg to a chicken and chicken to an egg, whatever came first?

  • Can i use airport with other software than itunes?

    I have my living room speakers connected to my Airport Express.
    I can listen to my iTunes music playing it on my MacBook Air and I can use my iPhone to control it with Remote App.
    But I can't use any other software to send sound to my speakers through Airport Express.
    Is there a way to tell my computer to send all sound to Airport Express, e.g. listen to music from Youtube in my livingroom speakers?
    Thanks!

    I believe Airfoil can do that...

  • Can I use a bluetooth keyboard on a non-bluetooth enabled (Old)Mac Pro?

    Sorry, this seems like something I could easily find an answer to, but I haven't found the answer on the forums or in google searches.
    My quad core Mac Pro is not Bluetooth enabled.  I'm assuming I can just use a USB Bluetooth dongle to talk to the keyboard.  I thought I would double check before I start spending money.  I do have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle already, but I've seen some talk about some talk about some other options from the Mac Store.  I'm just hoping to hear what has worked for others.
    Thanks!

  • Can I use my G5 Dual 2.7Ghz drives in a new Mac Pro?

    I currently have 2 drives in G5 and would like to move them over to a new Mac Pro Tower, they being a WD 740GD SATA high speed drive as well as my boot up 700G SATA drive. Are they compatible and has anyone had issues? Cheers.

    Actually, the drives might need to be reformatted because your G5 uses PowerPC processors, which need to be formatted using the Apple Partition Map.
    Your Mac Pro is an Intel machine, so the drives will need to be formatted using the GUID partition; disk utility can take care of this for you.

  • Can I use Lion Server to sync files from my MBP and Mac Pro tower?

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro and a Mac Pro I'd like to sync files between. I also have a Mac Mini that I'm considering for an OS X Lion Server install if it could help sync all my files across computers. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated!

    There is a simple way for unmanaged clients.
    To point an unmanaged client to your update server, enter the following command in terminal:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://<your_server>:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
    (replace <your_server> with the dns name of your update server.  If the unmanaged client runs snowleopard or leopard, adjust the url accordingly. For snowleopard clients, remove the "lion-" part. For leopard clients, remove the "lion-snowleopard-" part
