Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

How many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time.

how many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time?
I mean remote software can control at one time

Well Apple makes an iOS application called 'Remote' it's used to control iTunes on a Mac, Or to control an Apple TV Multimedia features.
Apple also makes "AirPort Utility" for iOS. Airport Utility can be used to configure Aiport Extrem, Airport Express And Time Capsul using an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. You can use it to connect to one device at a time. While connected to the device you can configure it to work as part of a larger Airport network. If you want to configure muliple device, you would connect to one device, configure it, And then connect to the next device, and configure it, and so on and so fourth.
I haven't found a limit.
How big of a network are you trying to make?

How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

How Many AirPort Expresses can you use with BaseStatio to Exended Coverage?

I have the airport Extreme N Base station and have one airport N Express hooked up to get better coverage...
can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
Thanks

can I hook up more than 1 express to make a bigger coverage area on my property?
Yes, but you cannot connect the additional 802.11n base stations in series to extend the range as the 802.11n "extend" feature does not support relays like in a 802.11g WDS.

HI, do you know how many airport express I can use per Mac????

I need to know how many airport express can I use simultanously in my Mac ... any idea???

Thanks for your question, I live in a 3 floor house, the cable router is in the 2nd floor, I already have one connected airport exrpess in the 1st one, but I need to increase the wifi signal in the 3rd one... so for that reason I would like to conecct one additoonal one to my wifi network...

How many Airport Expresses possible?

Been looking far and wide for this answer.... how many Airport Expresses can iTunes stream to at once? I know with iTunes v6 and the firmware update it's possible to stream to more than one... but what's the maximum? Is there a max?
I know only one stream is possible I'd just like to figure out how many I could get. Thanks in advance.

Quoting from Apple's Airport Express FAQ:
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 (available here). 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.
The practical limit on the number of Airport Express devices you can stream to at one time (as indicated in that paragraph) is determined by the available bandwidth of the wireless network.
The next question, of course, is how many could be supported if all Airport Expresses were cabled to an ethernet network.

How many AirPort Express stations can be supported by an AirPort Extreme wirelessly?

I got one AirPort Extreme in my home and would like to extend the wireless network by purchasing additional AirPort Express. Wanna know how many AirPort Express stations can be supported by an AirPort Extreme wirelessly?
Thanks.
Tony

Bob -- question for you which I can't answer as I don't have an airport extreme. The newer Extremes can create both G and N networks and can create the N network in the 5 mhz band. Can you increase the number of Express units you can connect wirelessly if you split the load between the 2.4 mhz G and 5 mhz N networks created by the Extreme. (recognizing that the 5 mhz band has less range than the 2.4 mhz band)
Not an issue for me as I only have three connected wirelessly, but I've always wondered about this. Of my three AX units one connects to a G network created by a Linksys WRT54GS and two connect to the N network created by the AX.
So instead of 3-4 AX units could it become 6-8?

How many Airport Express...

How many Airport Express units can be used simultaneously? I have an audio application that is wireless and could potentially have 12-20 separate areas. The most I have actually ever tried is 4 and it worked fine. Any limitations that anyone has read about, or has anyone tried this?

Well, a standard "main" router that will supply DHCP and NAT services for the entire network will be able to allow up to a total of about 250 devices to connect. That would include the AirPorts, and any devices that are connected to the AirPorts and any other devices that you have on the network.
Each AirPort Express (new version) will handle up to 50 wireless clients. It would be much better to limit that to 20-25 to keep the speed up. So, you'll have to do some math to try to figure out how many total devices will connect to the network when everything is working.
You could connect 20 AirPort Express devices to the main router....but you would only be able to connect about 10-15 devices to each Express.
Or, connect 10 Express devices to the main router and you can connect about 20-25 devices to each Express.
If you plan to connect to the Internet, keep in mind that all devices will share the bandwidth. If you have a 100 Mbps Internet connection, and 100 clients connected to the network, then each client will get about 1 Mbps. Pretty slow.
I'm not sure what your audio application is here....the network examples I am providing assume that you will be connecting wireless and wired Ethernet clients to the network.
If you could detail your proposed system, other users could offer their comments. We're still pretty much guessing at hypotheticals at this point.

In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?

In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?
The one that came when I bought my Macbook Pro.

Kappy, I believe that he's asking about Snow Leopard, not Lion. Your answer would be correct in reference to Lion purchased from the Mac App Store, but not Lion shipped as original OS on a new Mac.
derojas, assuming you have a standard OEM, it-came-with-the-computer Snow Leopard installer, you are licensed to use it only on that one computer. You are not licensed to install it on any others. Many OEM discs can install only on the specific hardware model with which they shipped, anyway.
If you have a standard retail installer, it's technically possible to install it on any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard. However, again, the license grants you the freedom to install it on only one Mac at a time (i.e. you'd have to delete it from one Mac before you could install it on another).
There are family packs and other multi-licensing arrangements that permit the owner to install Snow Leopard on more than one Mac. You need to check the license to find out how many and what other restrictions might apply.

How many OC clusters can in installed / implemented on a node & RAC DBS

In a cluster,
How many OC clusters can be installed and How many RAC Database can a single OC cluster can support.
Can i share single VG & LV to manager two OC clusters each with one RAC Database.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Satish

What are referring to here as "OC clusters"? By any chance, are you referring to Oracle Clusterware? If yes, you can install only one Oracle Clusterware in a cluster, and I don't think there is a hard limit on number of databases it can support as far it is not constrained by the OS resources and the entries it can make in the OCR.
Can i share single VG & LV to manager two OC clusters each with one RAC Database.Since you can not install more than one Clusterware on a cluster, this question doesn't arise.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi, i want to buy a licence of Creative Cloud, but i have one question... Whats the best choose for a little enterprise?? And if i buy a Single Person Licence, on how many pc's can i install the suite??

Hi, i want to buy a licence of Creative Cloud, but i have one question... Whats the best choose for a little enterprise?? And if i buy a Single Person Licence, on how many pc's can i install the suite??
Thanks for helping

no, that's incorrect.
you can activate on 1 mac and 1 pc, or 2 pc's, or 2 mac's, concurrently.
i have cc installed on 2 pcs and 1 mac. i can only activate 2 at any one time which works well for me because my pcs are at home and my office and i use them most of the time.
but when i travel i take my macbook so i just deactivate one or both of my pcs (uninstalling is not needed) and sign in to my macs cc app.

How many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from?

how many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from? i am trying to sync my ipod to another laptop and add my music to that computer but i was wondering if there was a limit on how many computers you can do that with. thanks all.

You can authorize up to five computers for your iTunes purchases.
If manually managing your device you can add content from any library.
If automactially syncing content is managed from one library.
Purchased content can be transfered from a device into an authorised library, otherwise iTunes only transfers content to the device.

How many hdd's can I install in Quicksilver

Have the SIIG Serial ATA 4 Channel PCI-M card running one 250GB HDD at the present with 1 running off the original system bus. How many can I add total to this system? Owners manual states I can run only 2 total in this machine. Is it true that now I can add a large HDD to the original bay without using the SIIG card and whole capacity will be recognized?
G4 Quicksilver 733 896mb ram Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi
You should be able to install four hard drives fairly easily.
You can physically fit four into the case, one in the front bay, one in the middle bay and two in the rear bay (one on top of the other in the U shaped bracket).
Assuming you don't have a Zip drive installed, you have the Molex power connectors for four drives, although you may need an extension cable so the power connector that's intended for the Zip drive will reach one of the hard drives. If you do have a Zip drive installed, you'd need a splitter cable to power two drives off one cable.
You have the data connectors for at least four drives. Two ATA drives can be connected to the onboard ATA controller and four SATA drives can be connected to the SATA PCI card (assuming it's a four port version).
The capacity limitation still applies to drives connected to the onboard ATA controller via the ribbon cable. Large drives can be added to any bays, but they must be connected to the PCI card for the full capacity to be recognised.
The manual probably says two ATA drives can be installed (using the onboard ATA controller) or three SCSI drives can be installed (using the supplied SCSI PCI card if relevant). There's no reason why you can't add additional drives using a SATA PCI card.

G4 quicksilver dual 1ghz: how many video cards can i install?

i've kept this great old machine on the shelf, now i've found a use for it! i've been programming video installations for theatre using isadora (on more modern machines) and would love to utilize my old G4. currently installed is the stock card with a VGA and an ADC output, and i've run 2 monitors off it in the past. i'd like to run my ADC powered 17" studio display (control screen) plus at least 2,3 or more video projectors, so i'd like to install an additional video card(s). ideally VGA or DVI, but s-video or even component could work- it doesn't need to be high definition. can this machine handle it, and if so, recommendations for a good card, or multiple cards? i have several open slots, how many is feasable to stack in there?
thanks y'all!

Remember that video cards use the most power of any PCI cards. There is usually a finite limit to how much power the computer's PCI bus can provide.
I don't know the limimts on the QS, but the old Beige G3s has a limit of 45W total across three slots--I doubt it's a lot more on yours. The assumption back then was that most PCI vidcards then drew 25W. Unlike newer cards that have power "taps" top allow direct connection to the power supply, older PCI vidcards seldom had this convenience. I have a radeon 9200 and it does not.
The 9200 had a lot of VRAM but did not support Apple's Quartz Extreme video technology. Although great for 3D stuff, its 2D performance in OSX was dismal, with scrolling and dragging being choppy. You do not want that card as you primary video source on a computer with AGP graphics. There was a hack to get around the QE issue but it seldom worked without issue if you had more that one PCI card of any kind.
