Hooking up music and pictures to my stereo and flatscreen Help!

Gidday from New Zealand.
I have an older G-4 450 dual processor and I would like to accomplsih two things.
1) Hook my computers I Tunes up to my stereo/receiver so it will play through the system speakers. I have a pair of Sound Sticks which are hooked up to a fire wire or USB ? port in the back of the computer. The problem is that the ports are sold out as it is an older machine. Should I find a splitter and attack it through the Sound Sticks, or there is a stereo plug connection and go in that direction?
2) I would like to play my I Photo pictures that are displayed in a slide show through my plasma television. How do I get there from here?
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Juan

1) What kind of inputs do you have on your stereo system. I doubt if it is usb. You'll probably use a mini-plug that will plug in to the headphone jack of the PM. The other end will be RCA style plugs (usually red and white) to plug into the stereo. Another option would be Apple's Airport Express for wireless iTunes streaming.
2) If your video card has composite or S-video output, use that to connect to your Plasma tv. If not, you will probably need to invest in a new video card.

  • Why there is a third party software to remove duplicated music and your help center have the ctrl and selick one at time

    need to remove duplicate music in itune

    For what it is worth, I am a fan of NuGen, I have both SEQ 1 and 2 and two stereo enhancing tools (stereoizer and stereoplacer I think they're called). Since I have the SEQ 1 it replaces all Channel EQ's. And the stereotools sound great and very lush, in stead of the more usual cheezy combfilterthingies that pass for stereo enhancing tools.
    And I actually like the interfaces. Simple, but stylish, functional and ergonomic (in this case meaning you can see all parameters in a quick glance, no guessing at settings).

  • Missing old music and audiobooks, help?!?!

    After I downloaded my three new audiobooks onto my ipod nano, all of my old books and music disappeared.  How do I get everything back?

    ...and does iTunes have to be running on the host Mac for other computers to see the shared library?

  • How can I retrieve music and pictures from my Apple Tv?

    I had thousands of picture, music and movie files on my Macbook Pro, which was synced to my Apple TV.  I have since lost that Macbook Pro along with all the files on it.  I bought a new Macbook Pro, but want to see if there is a way of getting all the old files from the Apple TV and putting them on my new Mac.  I'd  prefer not to pick apart the Apple TV to get to the hard drive.  Is there any app or simple way to transfer files through Wifi, like a reverse home sharing?  If there isn't there should be.

    I assume this is a 1st gen and not the newer models (black box). In any case it is not meant to be used as a storage device and thus no easy way to retrieve

  • HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer.  'Sync' doesn't do it.  What do I do?

    I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7.  Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer.  I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad).  ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else.  So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa.  It doesn't do that anymore.  So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album).  What is going on?
    Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
    How can I download my iPad to my computer?

    -Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

  • My old laptop crashed, how do I get music and pictures from ipod touch (2nd generation) to new laptop?

    My old laptop crashed.  I bought a new one, but when I loaded itunes and plugged in my ipad 2, it only added the songs that were purchased in the itunes store.  I upgraded my os to 5.0 and it deleted all of my songs, a lot of my apps, and all of my pictures except for the ones on the camera roll.  I have these pictures and songs on my itouch 2nd generation but I can't get it to synch with the new computer.  All of the solutions I have seen online don't work.  I can't upgrade to the newest operating system because it is only 2nd generation. I tried turning on Home sharing and saving to the cloud, but I can't get it to work on the itouch.  Please help! 

    I don't have a backup copy of my old computer.  I bought an external hard drive and it said it backed up, but when I plugged it into my new computer, it was empty.  My old computer is not accessible.  Is there a way to get the music and pictures that are on my iphone and ipod onto my itunes account on the new computer? I have already lost them on my ipad. 

  • How can i save music and pictures so all users can access them?

    how can i save music and pictures so all users can access them?

    Hi, this should be your answer as for sharing music. For photos though, I would assume you can do the same thing. Hope it helps!

  • How to put current music and pictures from my Iphone to a new Ipad?

    Hi this is my first question!
    I am about to recieve a new iPad mini. I currently have an iPhone 4s and I want to transfer all my pictures and music over to the new device. I have just backed up my phone so that all latest files are on my PC. I have tried iCloud but this is out because my internet is too rubish.
    So what should I do?
    1. if i set the iPad up using the iTunes backup, everything will go on to the iPad that I have on the phone including the apps, which im not bothered about because I will be using less apps than before.
    2. If I set it up as a new iPad, can I connect it to my PC and get my music and pictures/videos over to the device without everything else.
    I know this sounds confusing but I don't know what to do, I asked in the Apple store and they didn't seem to know either,
    cheers, David

    You can restore the iPhone's backup onto the iPad, but that won't include the contents of the Music app nor the photos if they were originally synced from a computer (if they were taken with the phone they should be included) - restoring a backup onto a diferrent device also won't copy passwords (router, email, website) so you will need to re-enter them on the iPad. You can copy your iTunes purchases (including apps and music) from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - if you do decide t backup/restore then you will need all of the iPhone's apps on your computer's iTunes as the backup only contains their content and settings, and not the apps themselves.
    If you set it up as a new iPad then as long as the music and apps are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them over to it. iTunes will remember you sync preferences for each device, so you can sync more than one device to it without them affecting each other.
    You can copy the photos and videos that you've take with the phone to your computer : photos to a computer.
    And you can then sync them to the iPad : syncing photos.

  • Can I download music and pictures from 2 different MacBooks onto one external hard drive?

    I have looked around for the community, but have not found an answer here.  Both my wife and I have 2 seperate MacBooks, but we wanted to put all of my pictures and music and all of her music and pictures onto one external hard drive.  I read on another board that we can, but only if we purchase a Mini.  Is it possible to do that without having to purchase a Mini?  Or is purchasing a Mini the only way to be able to do that?  Thanks in advance for any replies!

    There is no reason that you cannot use a common external HDD for your communal data.  Naturally you would have to disconnect it from one MBP and then connect it to the other when you wish to access the data or perform a download.  
    Any compatible external HDD will do, but make certain that you format it in Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Ciao.

  • My daugther' iphone id under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  Wife now has an ipad and looking at using the existing id for set up? Would like to establish new id for daughter and not lose or share music/photos?

    My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up?   Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id.  Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?

    well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!
