Getting ALL iTunes files to play through stereo
No one can seem to work this one out, not even the folks at our local Genius bar.
I'm running itunes 8.02 on my iMac (OsX) and for some reason the only iTunes files that will play through our stereo are songs. Can't figure out why I can't get everything playing (including files streamed from, say, the browser), or even non-song files from iTunes, like rented movies, for instance, to play. Only songs, period. I'm hooked up to our stereo through Airport Express.
THANKS
Airport Express will only stream Audio files from iTunes.
It does not play the Audio from Video Content like Movies, TV Shows, etc, this is because of sync issues that would occur between the video being shown the the computer screen and the sound from Airport Express. It is only designed to stream audio content.
Also the only software that can stream to Airport Express is iTunes, it cannot be used from the Finder or any other Application.
There is an application you can buy called AirFoil that will provide the features you want though.
This is not an Apple product but will allow other content to be streamed to the airport express.

Getting The Itunes Radio to Play through my computer
I installed the Itunes software, but I am unable to get the radio to play after acccessing the rado stations.I click on the radio button. The status bar looks as though it is loading a station. When it is through loading, I assume I am connected to a radio station but I hear nothing. I am using a Dell desktop XPS 400 computer. I am running Windows XP Pro, 2gb ram, 940 DCHT technology. I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS Soundcard. I have DSL internet access. I have tried connecting through all types of Genre, different kbps ratings, but still no sound. It acts as if it has contacted and picked up the URL, The radio acts as if it is trying to get the playlist and says it is downloading playlist, but no list ever appears, and no music ever plays. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to this Itunes thing, and this type of program access. Forgive my ignorance, but I am willing to listen, follow directions, just need a little advice from someone who has had success in getting their radio to play in the windows environment. I have all the power, and am surrounded by a plethera of top of the line guts, and peripherals. Please feel free to E-mail me directly at [email protected], or here. I would deeply appreciate any assistance and advice anyone could give me. Many thanks to and for your understanding. PLEASE HELP ME, DISGUSTED AND FRUSTRATED PUTTER!!!
Sincerely & Respectfully,
BruceYou can play a regular song in iTunes and hear it, correct?
Click Radio and the Genres show up.
Click on of the Genre and it should drop down say "Refreshing list" and show all radio station in that Genre.
Double clicking (or click once and select Play) in iTunes and a box should pop up which states "pre buffering" (or something like that).
Once it is playing, you will see the station, play time and maybe song info in the box at the top of iTunes.
If it's not working, it could be your firewall blocking it.

How to dowload purchased music -
Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.
Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
-Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
-On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
(And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
Thanks:)
ChrisBacking up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location. -
I just bought the new ipod touch, but when I try to sync it I get told to use the cloud and download from there. How do I sync it to my itunes so that I get all my songs without going through cloud? Otherwise if this isn't possible I am taking this back!
Thanks for no help... but for anyone else, turn off itunes match on the ipod

Got a new external hard drive. Transferred all files from old hard drive to new hard drive. Connected hard drive to macbook. How do I get all my files to be recognized by iTunes and my already made playlists??
Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above. -
Just got a new computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the old hard drive. Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help please?
The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple) -
I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help
Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on. -
Any way of getting Real Media files to play in Front Row?
I was just wondering if there is any way to get Real Media files to play in Front Row? I realise this is probably not possible, but I thought I'd ask people who know more about this than me!!
I do have Real Player installed if that helps......Probably not right now. Since Front Row uses iPhoto to play slideshows, the DVD Player to play DVDs, iTunes to play MP3s and the QuickTime Player to play videos, there's no way now to change the default video player application. All of those connections are hard-wired into the software. Apple has not released any kind of SDK (software development kit) for third parties to add on to Front Row, so it would have to be an unauthorized hack to get another video player to run. I might suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback and let them know you'd like to see third party add-ons to Front Row.

5 plus years ago my wife had the only Apple ID and as a family we all used her Itunes account to buy and listen to music. A couple years later, I (husband) bought my first iPhone - the only iDevice in the household. When I set that iphone up, I used the wife's apple ID as I wanted access to all of the itunes music we had as a family. So now years later, all of my Apps etc have been purchased via the Wife's Apple ID. To make matters worse for my situation, my 10 yr old daughter got an iTouch for Christmas and i decided to use my actual (husband) Apple ID as daughter is a minor and I felt I could manage her iTouch Apps content that way. We have just recently bought our first iMac and I had yet to understand or get to work the iCloud or the Home Sharing of iTunes. To make matters worse, I have never synched my 3G iphone because of the whole Apple ID issue. I should also mention that the primary 'authorized' computer for my wife's itunes account is an old PC that we almost never use anymore as it runs soooo slow. So I am left to wonder how to go about making the transition to get the old PC 'deauthorized' after I somehow transfer all itunes files from the old PC to the new iMac. I now have the new iPhone5 and i REALLY want to get to the point where i have my iphone on my apple id and my wife has her apple id (no iphone for her yet - probably coming soon though). On the new iMac i have created a login for me and one for my wife. I was able to login to itunes on her imac login and i was able to set up iCloud. it works! - but now my calendar, contacts, photos, etc are on her profile login of the iMac! HELP me PLEASE!!
Your Apple ID should not be causing problems with your browser. If you describe the problems you are having we might be able to help with those.

How do I get my itunes songs to play from computer onto a playstation
How do I get my itunes songs to play from my windows computer through the internet to my playstation PS3
I'm not a windows person anymore but I've heard it said that you can point Windows Media Player at you iTunes library and you can set it up to serve up to the PS3. Remember the the PS3 doesn't work with DRM encoded music.

How can I get an .flv file to play on my Mac?
If all you wan't to do is view the .flv video file and do nothing else to it, video players like VLC and Niceplayer will do the trick. Installing the PERIAN extension to Quicktime will also do the trick.
