Can I use my computer speakers with iPhone?

A friend gave me his old iPhone, and I wanted to play music through my computer speakers. The speakers aren't plugged in to the computer, just directly in to the iPhone. My old iPod will do it, but the iPhone won't. The sound just comes through the iPhone speaker. Is the iPhone able to play music through speakers?

Is the iPhone able to play music through speakers?
Yes it is. However the 1st gen iPhone (if that's what you have) had a recessed headphone socket and you will probably need a skinny little adaptor to get the jack plug from your speakers into the port. Hence the reason the sound is still coming out of the phone as you haven't got your jack plug far enough in. I recently found an adaptor at an airport for my phone but you'll have to look around to find one I suspect.

    Unless you can find out the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, there is nothing you can do to remove the previous user's information. Return it for a refund.

    Can you use Sony NS400 wifi speakers with Apple TV
    Thanks

    The iPad/iPhone need to be on the same section of the network as the Apple TV. connect the Apple TV to the wireless router instead of the AT&T router. If you can, connect the other devices as well...

  • Can you use 5.1 speakers with a macbook

    I want to buy some 5.1 speakers and use them for my macbook. Can this be done or will only 2 speakers work?

    Hi brad
    You can use 5.1 speakers, but you have to choose your purchases very carefully.
    Here are your options:
    A. If you ONLY ever want to watch 5.1 DVDs then you can buy a home cinema sound system with an optical (toslink) connector. BE AWARE THAT THIS OPTION IS LIMITED.  You can only watch media which has pre-recorded embedded 5.1 audio.  This excludes many games.
    B. If you want to watch 5.1 DVDs and play games that have surround sound then you need to purchase a 5.1 usb "sound card", and a 5.1 speaker system. For the USB sound card, I have a Hercules Game Surround Muse Pocket LT3.  This would appear to be the latest version on Hercules' web site: http://www.hercules.com/us/Sound-Cards/bdd/p/56/muse-pocket-lt/
    You will also need a speaker system that uses 3 stereo input jacks (Front L+R, Rear L+R, Centre+Subwoofer). Not all systems will have these inputs. I have an Altec Lansing system that works nicely with the Hercules.
    Whatever you buy, make sure that the shop will take it back if it should prove unsuitable.

  • Can I use AT'T ipad1 with iphone 4s personal hotspot?

    It seems too good to be true.  Can we use my husband's original AT&T ipad, wifi and 3g, with his iphone 4s personal hotspot?  thanks,

    Thanks deggie.  I know this is redundant but. . . If there is not wifi available then he will not be able to use his ipad to be oninternet-only when wifi available, right? All of our other devices are Verizon so his ipad 1 from AT&T is costing us an extra $25month.  May be time to get a new one.  Thanks.

  • How Can I Use Bluetooth For Sharing With iPhones?

    Hello, i have an iPod touch 3rd Gen. 32GB, And I'm Wondering How Could I Share Music or Photos With My Cousin's iPhone (Jailbroken iPhone), When I Turn The Bluetooth On, Nothing Shows Up On My iPod Or On Here iPhone,
    So How Could I Share Things With Her I Have ''File Share'' And ''Bump'' Apps
    So what should I Do???

    You can't share music over air or by Bluetooth because of several reasons of which is understandable by apple. Apple doesn’t provide any way for you to copy files from your iPod back to your Mac/ between iPods or iPhones. While there are legitimate reasons for blocking bi-directional copying— which again the word music piracy comes to the mind
    The only thing that I heard that you could share with iPhone to iPhone/ iPod touch is photos&contacts an app called "bump" and "Bluetooth photo share". With those applications you and your friend can share photos/phone contacts and other kind of files.
    "Bump" application link below:

  • How can i use different computer to manage iPhone?

    I have been using iTunes on a Win7 machine since i had my iPhone4.
    Now, since i have some problems in Win7, i'd like to switch to my Mac mini (mac os x Lion) to manage (sync, backup, update) from now on.
    If i connect, i am not allowed to backup since this is not the computer "attached" to this iPhone. I do have most of the stuff on both machines (music, apps, and so on...)
    How can i change this? Indeed i want to avoid replacing my iPhone content by different things...
    Thanks,
    Robert

    you need to move your iTunes Library from your Windows machine to your Mac.  Apple has iTunes set up so that you can't simply use multiple computers to back up and download files to your phone.  It keeps us honest and doesn't allow you to share music, movies, books etc.
    You should be able to copy your library to a flash drive or DVD on your PC, unless it is really huge.
    Or you can turn on home sharing on both machines and copy your files from the PC to the Mac.

  • Can you use Apple Mac speakers with Macmini?

    My old Apple mac speakers - the ones in transparent plastic hemispheres - come with a 1.5mm jack, but the Macmini has a standard 2.5mm socket. Is that because the voltage or something is different? If you fit the right jack, will they work OK?

    Those are the speakers that were shipped with the Cube G4. They are analog, but unpowered. They require an external amplifier. The Cube had an amp built-in. For a while, Griffin made an external amp adapter. They no longer do.
    These speakers will not work properly with a typical computer sound output, even if you come up with an adapter that makes the physical connection. The resulting sound output would be a whisper.
    My suggestion: Buy new speakers and consider the plastic spheres as nice paperweights, or decorative antiques for your shelf.

  • Using BOTH car speakers with Iphone's one speaker

    I know 4s only has 1 speaker but is there anyway to get it to play on BOTH speakers in my car using a AUX jack? My right speaker is getting all the play and I'm scared I'm going to blow it out :\

    it should play stereo both with a headset or device connected to the 3.5mm minijack and the button pin30 connector
    if yours does not then there is something wrong

  • Can I use the airport express with a desktop computer that is not wire less- I want to have wifi in the house for an iphone

    Can i use the airport express with a desktop computer not wifi- I want wifi for my iphone

    I can't seem to find any information anywhere.  It seems like it should work since the AX is showing up on his wifi settings on both his iPhone and iPod.  Not to mention the Apple "Genius" told him that it should work.  However, they also told him that it came with an ethernet, USB and the stereo patch cables...

    You won't get as good performance thought, it's recommended that you use one device for ins and outs. Get an adapter for your speakers so that the jack will fit into the headphone output of your guitarpod. But in the meantime aggregate will work.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ?

    Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.

    If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
    If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost. 
    Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone.

  • Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

    If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
    Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click:  File>Transfer Purchases
    This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
    Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.
