Cannot stream to iTunes and join wireless internet at the same time

I have a home network with an Airport Extreme base station, and Airport Express connected to my home stereo and to my existing wireless network in client mode. I receive internet via a wireless signal throughout my apartment building. My laptop receives the signal via the built-in airport express card. Neither the Airport Extreme or Air Express are connected directly to the internet, since I only have a wireless signal in the building (no ethernet).
With Airport turned on the wireless internet signal appears as a list of networks alongside my own network.
I can't seem to get the settings right such that I can join my Home network and be connected to the internet at the same time, since I have to join either one or the other from the drop down list. Therefore, I can't sream music wirelessly from my laptop to my airport express and be connected to the internet at the same time.
Is there any way around this?

Leosia, Welcome to the discussion area!
Your Mac only has a single radio receiver therefore it can only join one wireless network at a time.

  • How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4?

    How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4? This means I need to run 2 apps at the same time itunes and my game.  The game has its own sound control so I can turn off its sound while i listen to itunes tracks.  But I don't know how to set it up so the ipad does both.

    Anytime you open an app that has a persistant sound stream - a movie, a podcast, some games - it will overide the music app's stream. nothiong you can do to change it.

  • Can I stream music from my itunes and play a movie at the same time?

  • Airport express and wireless internet at the same time???

    hello,
    i recently replaced an airport express that broke. before i replaced it, my house was set-up with my macbook in one room, airport express in the living room and home-internet router in the office.
    i dont remember how i did it, but i set it up so that i could be connected to the internet and airport express at the same time. right now, its one or the other. either connect to the airport and listen to music, or connect to the router and get internet...
    now, i understand you can do this if u plug an ethernet into the airport express, but its in a different room than the router.
    so somehow i need the router and airport to connect to each other wirelessly????????

  • Can I set up wireless internet and a wireless printer at the same time?

    I have an AirPort Express configured already which allows wireless access to the internet (as it is connected to my broadband router) but can I also configure it to allow wireless printer sharing at the same time?
    I would appreciate an answer on this as I have been unable to determine it so far.
    Many thanks

    The Express has a single Ethernet port, whereas, the Extreme has four would be one of most distinguishing feature differences. Obviously size differences would be #1. (ref: Identifying AirPort Hardware)
    When connected directly another router, you have (effectively) two routers in series. In this configuration, the AirPort Express would need to be reconfigured as a bridge. This will allow the broadband router to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all the wired/wireless clients connected to either router.

  • Remote access VPN to server from outside and server reach internet on the same time

    Dear,
    I have problem in my ASA 5515-X , when i make Remote access VPN to servers in inside zone the internet connection disconnected in the servers, or when i have internet in servers, the remote access cant reach servers.
    the configuration for server as static NAT for each server, and the connection of VPN is to another public IP but in the same subnet of NAT ip.
    server1 : 10.10.10.2 nat to 5.6.7.8
    server2: 10.10.10.3 nat to 5.6.7.9
    server3: 10.10.10.4 nat to 5.6.7.10
    VPN connection to 5.6.7.12
    is there any solution for this senario, remote vpn to servers and the same time the servers have internet readability for download updates .. etc

    Hi,
    So it seems that the problem is with lacking a NAT0 configuration
    You could modify the below configuration to match your networks/IP addresses used. In the below configuration I presume that you have interfaces "inside" and "outside".
    object network SERVER-NETWORK
     subnet <server network address> <network mask>
    object network VPN-POOL
     subnet <vpn pool network address> <network mask>
    nat (inside,outside) 1 source static SERVER-NETWORK SERVER-NETWORK destination static VPN-POOL VPN-POOL
    Just insert the correct address related information and change the "object" and interface names if required.
    This configuration will tell the ASA that no NAT will be performed for traffic between the VPN-POOL and SERVER-NETWORK. The NAT configuration is bidirectional. With this configuration the Static NAT configurations will continue to work for the servers Internet traffic and this NAT0 configuration will be applied only to the VPN Client traffic.
    Hope this helps :)

  • I have a Macbook pro and a iMac and I can't seem to connect to the wireless internet at the same time. Please help.

    Invariable on eof them will connect and the other one doesn;t. I have to constantly disconnect eth router and re-connect it for the computers to pick it up. I also sometimes get an error message that I am sharing the same IP address and i don't know how to change it. Please help!

    Open the Network preference pane in System Preferences on each Mac. If necessary, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the preference pane. Select the wireless connection from the list on the left. Click the "Advanced" button, and in the sheet that opens, select the "TCP/IP" tab. From the popup menu labeled "Configure IPv4," select "Using DHCP." Click OK to close the sheet, then click "Apply." Try again.

  • ITunes and other programs active at the same time

    Is there any way to have iTunes accessible and running while another program is active. When using iTunes to hear a song for reference and using another music program (such as a music publishing program) , it is very cumbersome to continually go back and forth to each program.

    Yes, and this free program will give you complete control of iTunes from the OS X menu bar: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/youcontroltunes.html

  • How can I use a wireless printer and the internet at the same time?

    Hi there, I just installed a wireless printer but to use it I have to click on the Airport icon and select the printer in the 'devices' list. This deselects my connection to my wireless modem. Is there any way I can print and look at the internet at the same time? This does not seem right to me, I print a lot of info from the net and don't want to spend time selecting and waiting for connection back and forth all the time.

    I have a Linksys WAG54G2 wireless G router. This router has a Wireless Protected Setup button which I understood would initiate a search for wireless devices and aid setup but it seems to do nothing. I made the mistake of tryig to use the linksys installation disk to access a setup wizard and that just reset my entire network back to factory settings and it took me 4 hours to reconfig my system. Won't be touching that again. It all seems odd, the printer is compatible with the router as far as I can see but I don't know how to get the router to recognise the printer.

  • No Airtunes and Internet at the same time

    Hello,
    I'm using an iPod Hi-Fi in combination with an Airport Express basestation.
    My internet connextion goes through PPPoE. So I use the Airport Express in "Bridge mode" But...
    iTunes won't find the (wireless) iPod Hi-Fi when PPPoE is winked "on" in the airport settings. When I wink PPPoE "off", iTunes do find the iPod Hi-Fi.
    But without PPPoE I don't have an internet connexion.
    So I can't use the internet and listen to Airtunes at the same time.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks!
    Greetings,
    Jarchall

    I'd suspect that the Bonjour would not work properly if the wireless thinks the next hop down the wireless trail is the open internet instead of the Airport Express. PPPoE basically makes a tunnel from your computer to the ISP server. The PPPoE packets are wrapped in a special transport package the express probably can't get into unless there is some future specialized firmware update.
    Unless you have some burning need for bridge mode I would configure the Airport Express to connect via PPPoE with the setup assistant.

  • HT5569 How do I print using a wireless printer when I'm using wifi for Internet at the same time

    I can't figure out how to print via wifi when I'm using wifi for Internet at the same time please help

    You need to have your printer & ipad connected to the same wifi router.  ( This would be my best guess. )

  • Problem with connecting two computers with windows7 to the internet at the same time with wrt110

    Me and my friend have both installed windows7 on our computers.
    If one of us connects to the internet via wireless router WRT110 it goes without any problems.
    But if we both try to connect to the internet at the same time, it doesnt want to connect.
    Can anyone help?
    Solved!

    You can try upgrading/reflashing the router's firmware....Download the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads and save it on the desktop....Login into the Linksys GUI and click on Administration tab...click on subtab "firmware upgrade" and choose the correct .bin file...click on upgrade....Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now,press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • WRT160 doesn't seem to be able to support both PC and Apple devices on at the same time

    we have 2 PCs, a macbook and an iphone. we use a cable modem with the WRT160 router. since thursday the 2 PCs can connect to the internet at the same time, but the mac then loses its connection as does the iphone. if the mac and iphone are connected, the minute we start up a PC, the mac and iphone lose their connection and can't reconnect. Apple couldn't help and said it was the router. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it?

    Open the router setup page and reduce the MTU to1400 and click save settings..Under the Wireless tab,Click on the subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Now,check..

  • WRT54G & Comcast - Operating more than one wireless PC at the same time

    First, I want to thank the many advisors and experts that contribute so freely to this knowledge base.  I have read the many insights into Comcast/cable modems.  Because to that I am able to connect one (1) laptop via wireless to my WRT54G which is attached to the cable modem from Comcast.  I had to use "MAC Cloning" to make this wireless connection work.  Happy days!  
    Problem:  When I try to bring a second laptop online via the WRT54G using wireless, the laptop seems to receive all the right information (ipcondig /all) but will not connect.  Internet Explorer presents the "standard error page" rather than my home page.  For example, I want to read my email via laptop #1 and have my wife read her email on laptop #2 - at the same using wireless.  Is this possible? 
    Question: Using the WRT54G and Comcast can I have two or more seperate wireless laptops connect to the Internet at the same time?  Note: I am NOT trying to connect the two (2) wireless laptops to each other.  Just a good old fashion connection to the Web via the Internet.  
    Are there other WRT54G owners with Comcast service that have this functionality? 
    (BTW - I am not trying to bash Comcast.  I am just unaware of a solution.)
    Thank you in advance.

    Adjust the browser settings on the laptop where you don't have Internet...
    Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    Yes, it is possible to read mails on both the laptops at the same time...Also it is possible to connect to Internet Wirelessly on multiple computers/laptops at the same time simultaneously...
