How can i play music on my ipad via my macbook air?

Hi all,
A few months ago my wife convinced me to ditch my *cough* Windows PC *cough* and I converted to Apple.
I am a very happy disciple these days, but still have a lot to learn
I have an iPhone 4, my wife has an iPad 2 and I also have a MacBook Air. I would like to store all my music from my iPhone on my MacBook Air and my wife wants to do the same with the music stored on her iPad 2. Both the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are running out of storage.
Is there any way we can store our music on the MacBook Air and play the tunes via my MacBook Air on my iPhone and my wife's iPad when we are in range of our wireless signal? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

How can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air?

hi, how can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air? thanks.

Try this.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

How do i play music on my ipad via ATV?

just set up the apple tv, found the remote app. but it all seems to require the computer that the ipad is sync'd to to be turned on. can't i just play from ipad via atv to my home theater sound systems?

The Remote app is for controlling iTunes on your computer. You can also control the Apple TV.
If the songs are in iTunes, you can simply use the Apple TV.
If you want to play songs on the iPad that are not in iTunes (they should be. Sync the iPad to iTunes), play the song in the iPod app on the iPad then tap the AirPlay icon at the lower right of the iPod app.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums. I am still on iOS 7.

You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

How can i back up my NOOK Books to my MacBook Air, and then transfer to a second iPad??

how can i back up my NOOK books to my macbook air? when i sync, all that comes over is purchases from Apple.

File > Transfer Purchases will only copy purchases from Apple (though it does appear to copy PDFs from iBooks as well). Depending on whether the second iPad is new or not, you could try backing up the first iPad and restoring that backup to the second iPad and see if that copies the books onto it. Otherwise I think that you should be able to re-download the books on the second iPad

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing?
I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production. It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini. Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air.
My two problems:
1. I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing. What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
2. The less lag the better for screen sharing. Which apps are fastest?
Thanks in advance.

Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops
