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.

Is the iCloud Drive storage space independent of the original iCloud? Do they share space? Can you use them both at the same time?

Does Apple provide 5GB storage with both iCloud and iCloud Drive for a total of 10GB? Or are they shared for a total of 5GB? I am running low on space in my original iCloud (4.7GB used), and would like to move my photos to iCloud drive and stop them from saving in original iCloud, but want to continue to use iCloud for all my other data backups/settings/etc. Thanks!

iCloud Drive is simply a newer version of iCloud (newer set of features) for handling available documents and allowing third party apps access.. Otherwise it is still part of the you overall iCloud service. Unless you choose to pay for additional storage, your total iCloud space is 5 GB.

Can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?

I would like to put music under my audio books and my question is "can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?"

I am not aware of a way to play two songs at once in iTunes. However, at least on a Mac, you can definitely open and play multiple things in QuickTime player. Sooo, you could open a music file in QT Player then start it and start the audio book in iTunes. Or open the audio book in QT player and listen to that there while iTunes plays music.

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.

Can you opening multiple albums at the same time in Photo (not iPhoto)?

When converting the iPhoto library to Photo most of the albums that were in place in iPhoto converted to albums in Photo . . . .but not all. Some were retained as events mainly those that were folders within an album. In order to move them to the right album I would like to have multiple albums open at the same time (side by side) so that I can make sure not to duplicate photos or move them to the wrong spot.
I cant see how to do this, it seems that I can need to open one album and check phots and then close to look within and other and rely on memory. There must be a more efficient and accurate way to do this?

All of the events in iPhoto were converted to albums and are located in the Folder titled iPhoto Event in the sidebar of Photos.
You can't open multiple albums at the same time. You can create a smart album that will do essentially the same thing with the following criteria:
Album is "A"
Album is "B".
The smart album will display all of the photos in those two albums.

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 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.

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).

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.

Can I Use Different Programs at the Same Time

Hi All,
I understand that the Creative Cloud can be installed on two computers but the same programe cant be running on both at the same time. I use my MacBook and iMac in unison so my question is could one computer be running Illusstrator and the other running Photoshop without any issues at the same time?
Thanks

Can you connect 2 iPods at the SAME TIME to iTunes?

I have a HUGE music library and I have 2 60 Gb iPods. I manage them manually. I'd like to connect them BOTH, AT THE SAME TIME , to make it easier to make sure they have totally different songs on each of them, and remembering is out of the question :-}. I would have to connect them both simultaneously, and be able to drag songs to either of them. Can this be done without problems?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
From what I have heard, it is possible to do so. I have never tried to do that, though, so I have no experience on this.

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.
