How to connect AppleAirport to stereo?

Hello,
I currently have an old stereo system that works very well, it is however not wifi enabled. I can't hence hear my music from my iPhone/iPad and Mac on my stereo.
I understand that the Airport Express is the solution. How can I connect it and will will it also play other media such as Deezer on the stereo?
Many thanks

If your stereo has either analog RCA type or digital audio inputs, you can connect the appropriate cable between it and the AirPort Express' audio port. You would then stream from a Mac, PC, or iOS device to the Express via a Wi-Fi connection between them.

How to connect a wireless drive and stream to my stereo through MacBook. I currently have a non apple WiFi network

I currently have a PC based WiFi network and am about to buy a MacBook Pro. I have 250 gb iTunes library and 100+ gb of photos. What I was going to get is the 120gb MacBook and run an external drive to store the iTunes library and photos. For intensive photographic work I'd directly connect the drive but day to day I'd connect it to the wireless network. What I want to do is to stream my music, from the wireless drive to my stereo
Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device. Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?
I also want to have the option of streaming from my iPhone.

Hard to say when you don't give us a clue what you current router is??
USB2 is slow.. it is double slow from a network device.. and even slower if that network device doesn't actually have too much CPU power or RAM..
Even worse is the idea to move the disk from the network to the local external port.. because then format comes into play.. Apple devices can use FAT32.. yuk.. but really want HFS+.. most routers cannot talk HFS+ except apple ones.. they want NTFS or FAT32.. You can see where this is going.. buy two disks.. one for library.. one for a scratch disk .. usb3 will be great.. or thunderbolt even better. And when finished copy your project to the network drive..
Think carefully about backups.. they are important too.. might be time to invest in a real NAS. Not toy systems with USB.. dangling off them.

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

Hi
Thanks for Swift reply.
Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
Are the A1088 now useless?
The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
Please advise
Regards

How to connect my Macbook to my TV

How do I connect my Macbook2, 1 Intel Core 2 Duo to my TV (which has VGA and HDMI) so I can watch films on my TV from my Laptop? Its really confusing and I thought I understood what i was trying to find but now im not so sure! Any help is really appreciated!

Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI.You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
(Composite is the red,white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs for VGA, DVI or Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of yourMacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if yourTV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it'sexpecting audio with the HDMI.
When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The MenuBar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

How to connect the Satellite Pro P100 to Hifi

I've got Satellite Pro P100. How to connect this notebook to HiFI
This is probably easy, but what can i say... just call me stupid.
I've got the lead that goes out of the headphone jack, it links up to my hifi nice.
Trouble being, there's a nasty hiss in the background. Tried plugging my boys mp3 player into the lead, and that works fine.
Any chance of some help... thanks

Hi
In my knowledge you can connect the Sat Pro P100 to HiFi only via a 2-RCA Audio Y cable adapter. In my knowledge the notebook does not support the S/PDIF audio out so you will be able only to use an analog sound port.
You could also buy a stereo adapter with 2x cinch jacks to connect the notebook to the Hifi. Such adapter can be plugged into the headphone jack
Check this:
stereo adapter
I think you should visit the nearest notebook dealer. He can show you the right and supported cables and adapters.

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

Hi m,
It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

How to connect my MacBook to my iPod Hi-Fi

Hello,
I'd like to know how to connect my MacBook to a iPod Hi-Fi.
Thank you!

You have two choices. You can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable or for best results use a digital audio cable between them.

How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
So here's the situation:
Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
(Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
Some pointers:
- When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
- I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.
<Edited by Moderator>

Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
Thanks

SB Live! 5.1 how to connect with my HiFi-Syst

Hey,
I want to connect my Soundblaster Li've! 5. with my amplifier.
The amplifier is connected to two stereo loudspeaker.
It?s kind of an old amplifier with DIN connections, so I have to use a Cinch to DIN adapter. But the adapter has two cinch cables, one for the left signal and one for the right. (http://www.starcom-edv.de/shop/pics/AudioAdapter_DIN_St-Cinch_St_s.jpg)
I really don?t know how to connect it to my Soundcard. (http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/4602/picture0032vf.jpg)
Aditional I want to connect my PC with my TV, so I need one Line-Out for my TV.
Please hep me!

Is tha 2 x RCA to DIN intend for playback or recording input (or are those DIN connector wires equal for Input and output purposes)?
You need another cable: 2 x RCA to 3.5mm (/8") stereo mini jack plug to get the SB and Hi-Fi connected. Connect the PC just the way, you would connect a casette deck into a stereo system (if you know how to do this) so, you get both playback and recording capability or just connect the output from PC into Hi-Fi system).
For that TV connection, do you mean you would use the TV as output device (PC --> TV)?
If that's what you're after, then just use the another line-out from your Li've card for that connection, otherwise (TV -> PC) connect the TV output into Li've Line-In or into some of those, possible available, internal analog inputs (AUX_IN, CD-AUDIO, etc.).

You would need to make sure the dongle supports the same Bluetooth profiles that are supported by your car's stereo system which is commonly the A2DP profile. So first figure out what profiles are supported by the car's stereo system.

How to connect S750 to a Pioneer receiver

My HDTV only has 2 component input. That's why I want to get a Pioneer VSX-050TX receiver to add several more inputs. Since I already have s750 in my computer, I don't want to get another set of speakers.
I'm new to receiver and have no idea how to connect it. What I want to do is that the home theatre and the computer can share the s750. And I can also take advantage of the receiver's decode functions. Thanks!

Most receivers will have 6 analog inputs for 5.1 audio (or 8 for 7.1). You will need two "camcorder connectors" ( http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cg...tem=SP-AVCABLE ) and one "male minijack to male stereo RCA cable ( http://shop.store.yahoo.com/chicagod...autostre2.html ). You can find the second cable much cheaper at RadioShack. Because I don't have 7.1 speakers, I can't tell you what to connect to where, so you'll have to experiment or wait for another poster. You'll plug the minijacks into the soundcard and the RCA ends into the receiver.
You can connect the satellites of the S750 directly to the receiver's amped outputs, using the receiver's amp instead of the GigaWorks's. Plug the subwoofer into the LFE output in your receiver to the subwoofer in on the S750 amp (you may need another minijack to RCA cable), using the GigaWorks's amp for the subwoofer only. Note that many HT subwoofers have their own amp built in and do not use the receiver to amplify them. The LFE out on the receiver is unamplified.
