How to I turn on airplay on itunes on my pc

I want to use my pc as a source (itunes) to play music to my ATV2. I have home sharing on but do I need to enable airplay on the pc? airplay is enabled on ATV2.
I have a set of speakers working off my pc but want to listen on my surround sound set up which the ATV2 is connected to as well.

To send content to the Apple TV or stream from iTunes on your PC you need to enable homesharing from the iTunes advanced menu and then enter the same details in settings/computers on the Apple TV. Once enabled iTunes will show the Apple TV as an Airplay device from the bottom right hand corner of its window.

  • How can I turn my Mac using iTunes into an alarm clock?

    Here's my question: How can I turn my Mac, using iTunes, into an alarm clock?
    I want to be able to put my Mac to sleep but have it set up so that when it wakes up at the predetermined time iTunes will open and start playing the music I've selected....
    A "musical alarm clock"...
    A friend suggested using the Energy Saver option in Sys. Preferences to wake the computer at the right time. He said that then I could use iCal to start iTunes. I would then have to use an Apple Script to get iTunes to play the song I want.
    But is there a SIMPLER way to do this? Are there any programs out there that do this already??
    Thanks for any help....

    I recently got a copy of AlarmClock Pro from MacWorld UK. It is shareware, I think it is (USD?)19. I haven't had a chance to try it out much, but it does look quite good. I have an older version. The latest version looks even better.
    I'm sure there's plenty of freeware apps out there. You might also want to try looking here for an applescript here Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

  • How can I turn off genius in iTunes 10.5.3 (3)

    How can I turn off Genius in iTunes 10.5.3  under Lion 10.7.3 (other than disconnecting from the internet). It is no longer an option in the Store menu and although I can hide that playlist on the left through parental controls, the atom symbol is still present in the lower right of the window available to generate a list from a selected song. Thank you.

    I have the option to turn it off. What version of iTunes are you using? I have the latest iTunes. Have you tried signing out of the store?

  • How do I turn off artwork in iTunes Mini player 11.0.4?

    I have been very vocal in mourning the loss of Cover Flow but now I've given iTunes 11 a second chance on my MacBook Pro.
    The most irritating thing is the Mini Player is no longer 'mini'. How can I turn off artwork display when in mini mode? The whole point of this is to enable iTunes control whilst working, but having a big square displaying album artwork is just counter-productive.
    I just want the option of a minimalist player when working.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Ah right, thank you!
    I had the box with the artwork as small as possible and couldn't see the other artwork bottom left!

  • How do i turn off sounds within itunes, such as the download complete sound and other sounds added with 11.11.1

    some of the sounds added with the latest addition of itunes are really annoying and suprising, especially when listening to music. how do i turn them off?

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • How do i turn off password in itunes?

    I can't find in settings, and it always asks for password when downloading and updating apps, and it gets mundane doing it over and over.  How do i turn this off?

    Hey, Jpwhre
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Unfortunately there is no way of doing so, do you have Automatic download activated?
    I hope this helps you. Let me know if it does. If not feel free to give me a shout. Best of luck.

  • How do i turn off auto populate itunes?

    Please tell me there is a way to switch OFF the function of having iTunes automatically populating itself with every mp3 file on my hard drive.
    I was horrified to find very sensitive work related phone calls and interviews in my iTunes library because they are mp3 files. I certainly do not wish to have them there. I only want my music in iTunes.
    So I now cannot have iTunes open when people or clients are round, because the files are people's names. It would take hours to rename them, and why should I have to? That's how I know what's in them.
    It also means that I have 8GB of stuff I do not need in iTunes and when I watch important podcast videos, the sheer volume of stuff in there slows them down and keeps stopping and starting the videos, which is hugely annoying.
    Is there a way to switch this auto populate off please?

    I definitely did not agree to it populating iTunes with all these files. It just did it on its own as soon as I opened iTunes after the new update. I assumed it was part of the update, then I saw all these millions of files. I also had my external drive connected (that has a backup of my C drive), and it copied all those files too - so I have two of everything in iTunes!
    Does this mean that every time iTunes updates, this will happen? And of course an update is an install, and they happen a LOT! - way too often for my liking.
    It's not normal, no, and has never happened to me on any of my systems. Something, perhaps a file permissions problem with a preference file or a corruption in the iTunes library files, caused the flag that tells iTunes that the first run has already occurred to be mis-set such that iTunes thought it was a new install.
    (*) About the other headache the new update caused; when I connect my iPod I now get a box saying:
    *"The iPod "(my ipod)" is synced with another iTunes library.*
    *Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?*
    *+An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library."+*
    *"Erase and Sync"* or "Cancel"
    Ditto the above. That's a symptom of the same sort of problem. You'll probably need to clean up iTunes so that only the content you want there is present, and then allow your iPod to sync as if it was connecting to a new library (which in reality it will be).
    I clicked Cancel as I went white thinking it would try to add all those millions of files to my iPod too. So now I can't even update my iPod.
    Why on earth do I have a 2nd library? I have only ever had one PC with iTunes on. It is not on a network or anything. Is this due to the update to iTunes 10?
    How can I stop future upgrades?
    Turn off the automatic check in Apple Software Update, a separate application on your system.
    But again, this is not normal behavior. Something was corrupt in the iTunes files on your system. So once you get a clean set, this problem should not happen again unless the same conditions (whatever those might have been: software conflict, power surge, etc.) occur again. You'll want to do some of the normal steps to check for disk problems/corruptions in Windows to make sure this isn't a systemic problem with your drive or WIndows.
    Regards.

  • How do I turn off Sync without iTunes deleting all the songs on my iPod!

    Well that's basically my question. I want to keep all the songs that are already there, but from this point on just add new ones manually. When I unchecked the Sync box it wiped out my iPod. Thanks in advance for any help.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You need to turn off automatic sync before you delete all your tracks from iTunes. If you don't, then you need to prevent the iPod from synching when you connect:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys on a Mac. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer. Then you can set iTunes to manual synchronization.
    Of course, this won't help if your iPod has already had the tracks removed. But you'll know what to do next time.
    Regards.

  • How do I turn a purchased song (itune 10) into ringtone for my iphone

    I am trying to turn a previously purchased song into ringtone.  How do I that?  I know the song is available as ring tone since when I select "purchase more tunes" for ringtone in my phone, I can find the song.

    Thank you.  I tried Google and followed the steps.  After creating AAC format, I can not change the extention of the file.  There is no extention.  Just the file name.  That is where I am stuck.

  • HT3577 How do I turn off VoiceOver in iTunes 10 for Windows 7?

    I recently downloaded iTunes to my new Toshiba Ultrabook.  Now when I select a song, I get a female voice telling me about it...it is extremely annoying.  I have not been able to find out how to disable this feature, which I believe is called VoiceOver.  Note, this happens WITHOUT any device connected to iTunes.  SO, can someone please tell me how to disable this?
    Thank you.

    Do you mean so you won't see items in the cloud, that aren't currently downloaded, but are showing in your library?
    If so, itunes menu >> preferences >> store >> show itunes in the cloud purchases.

  • How do I turn off airplay iMac ATV3.

    2011 iMac (Mavericks) + ATV3
    It is not connected to anything but the icon is still blue and it says it is connected to my ATV.
    I know its not connected as I am looking at the ATV now and can see and interact with the GUI.
    I went into display settings and tried to turn it off from there, but it will not turn off.
    I removed the icon from my menu bar.
    I have turned off the ATV for over 5 mins.
    This is not an isolated incident, this has been happing for about 2-3 weeks now.
    Very annoying.
    Any ideas or links to this, if it has been answered already
    P.S.
    As I write this i see it has disconnected (ATV has been off for about 8-10 mins now)

    Turn off mirroring.

  • How do I turn off genius in iTunes 10.6.1.7? There is no "Turn Off Genius" in the Store menu only "Update Genius"

    I cannot get rid of Genius or Genius Mixes and I want it off of my iPad 2 as well. Thank you.

    In reply to Peter2300's problem of not being able to delete Genius Playlists on the ipdad.  I had this same problem on my ipad2 and my son's ipad mini.  In both our cases we had a number of extra Genius Playlists and most of these had no songs in them.  We couldn't delete them the normal way by just holding down on them until the little X appeared.  We both solved it the same way. On my iPad when I "tap" on the Genius playlist I want to delete, it switches to the screen showing the individual songs in the Genius list (even if it's just a blank playlist), and there is a "save" button near the upper right of the screen. I pressed the Save button and then hit the button on the upper left to return to the list of Playlists.  After doing this, the last Genius Playlist displayed could then be deleted the normal way by pressing on it and waiting for the X.  I had to repeat this process for each extra Genius playlist I wanted to get rid of (which was all of them b/c on mine they were all blanks).  I just repeated the process of viewing each playlist, saving it, going back to the list of Playlists and then deleting the one that appeared last on the screen.  So far these Genious Playlists have not returned.  Hope this helps.

  • How can i turn off internet access for itunes

    Every time i turn on itunes it asks for my internet username and password. If I cancel the request it pops up again after a few seconds and will continue to pop up, even if I put my name and password in.
    This becomes very frustrating when I don't want to use the internet or I don't have a connection. How can I turn this off?
