How to play any/all apple devices on outdoor speaker

What is the best way for us to play songs through our apple devices on the outdoor speakers through the setup we have which is recieve/amplifier connected with a wire to our outdoor speakers. 
Right now we play the radio and plug in our ipods and such to the reciever.
would be nice to:
1. control the songs from our devices in another room if there is an ipod attached to the system.
2. play songs from any device to the speakers.
3. let guest people with their own device tap into the system and play a song.
I assume some wireless sytem is needed, or via airplay?  or somehow to be able to control the songs on one device from another?
Thanks in advance
PS>  we have macs with shared music library
latest apple TV
wireless router

Hello, doobias123!
This can be achieved by connecting either another Apple TV or an AirPort Express to the reciever/amplifier that is connected to your speakers.
Using AirPlay

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
    tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.

  • Works but not x2 iPad2.  WiFi network is the same for printer and all Apple devices.  Help.

    We are unable to print from ipad2 using Epson Artisan 730 printer.  Software download to Macbook was successful but unable to download software to x2 iPad2.  All Apple devices are on the same WiFi.  I followed the Epson instructions but message box pops up stating Safari unable to download file.  Any suggestions.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iPad and iPad 2 using iOS do not use the same software as your Mac using OS X.
    They are entirely different operating systems.
    Look in the iPad Apps Store for Epson iPrint app for iPad. It is free.
    The Artisan 730 is one of the printers the app supports, so this app should allow you to print from your iPad.
    If you're looking from the Mac side, open iTunes, and the iTunes Store, then the App Store, and search for Epson iPrint for iPad

  • Are all Apple devices chargers the same, or do iPads use different chargers

    Are all Apple devices use the same chargers iPhone4, iPhone5s and iPad3 and 4 with retina the same?

    Hi Ralph Landry1
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    The iPad use a 12W USB Power Adaptor.
    Where as the iPhones use a 5W USB Power Adaptor.
    The iPod Touches use either a 5W USB Power Adaptor or they can run off a iPod USB Power Adaptor.
    The difference in the Watts can be found in the bottom of the adaptor (it will say 5W, 12W or iPod)
    All iPhones and iPods can run off the 5W or iPod Adaptor.
    However for the iPad to be sufficiently charged in needs the 12W charger (hence sometime when plugged into a computer it will say 'iPad is not charging') The iPad needs the 12W to charge - this takes 5hrs otherwise.
    The iPad charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=3c
    The iPhone charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=48
    Apple no longer sells the iPod USB Power adaptor and as such the iPods now just run off the 5W charger here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=74
    The chargers have changed shape over the years yet the old ones will still do the same job.
    Many Thanks and Enjoy charging!

  • How can i remove all my devices added to my Apple ID?

    How can i reset the added devices to my Apple ID, dearthursize all of my devices connected to my Apple ID? without having access to the devices, i think its my old computers that i dont have anymore. Just got a new computer, and i authersize it, because it says maximum (5) have been reached.
    Thanks, Kasper.

    The devices linked to your Apple ID have absolutely nothing to do with the 5 computer limit that is causing the issue.
    Devices like iPhones, iPads, iPods do not count towards the 5 computer limit.
    Simply deauthorize the computers that you no longer use or if you no longer have access to them, deauthorize all and authorize only the computers you have that actually need access to the content.

  • TS1398 Since upgrading to ios6, all apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device. It's an ios

    Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
    Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
    I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
    I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
    Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
    Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

  • TS4083 Is there a way to have my Icloud delete my emails on all apple devices that use I cloud? If I delete them on my Iphone, they do not delete on my Ipad and vice versa

    I cant figure out how to set up Icloud to delete my emails on all my apple devices that use icloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I frequently have emails that I delete on my mac but are not deleted from the iPhone/iPad (this is for an iCloud account,  @mac.com).  In time they eventually delete, but it can take time.  I usuall delete them from the devices as well.

    Hi nesonmcbride,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The following resources will help you associate your iPad and iPhone with your Apple ID.  
    Apple - Support - My Support Profile
    https://supportprofile.apple.com
    If you don't see your iPad or iPhone listed, click on the "Add Products" link at the bottom left corner of this page.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4627
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices. 
    Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
    Note: If no devices have been associated with the Apple ID, then the Manage Devices section will not be visible.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • How do i get all my devices to recognize a changed password?

    How do i get all of my Apple devices to recognize a changed iCloud password? My PC is fine but iPhone and iPad are confused.

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Be sure to sign in to iCloud again using this step:
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    From:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    You will be prompted to enter your new password at this point.

    HOw do u play games on Apple TV using a iPad mini

    Which iPad do you have? Mirroring requires iPad 2 (or later)
    If your iPad is compatible then ensure airplay is enabled on ATV and that both devices are on the same network
    Then double tap home button, swipe (left to right motion) to bring up volume/brightness controls and airplay. Tap airplay, select ATV and toggle ON mirroring

  • How can i query an apple device's information?

    hi，
    i am a newcomer developer，i am now on a App project about the apple device，we think the corrct information of a device is vital， so our new App will ask user to enter the device id like ＂DLXFH......"，then comes the problem， how can our new App get the information of the device ，like produced time， memory size， ，，，，？any one replied？

    You can't get that information.
    You can discover what type of capabilities the device has (camera, microphone, etc.).

  • Amazon prime video airplay blocked on all Apple devices, why?

    Why is it that Apple cannot figure out how to come to an agreement with the largest online book and video supplier in regards to making apple airplay available for Amazon prime video account holders.  Amazon Prime is a pretty cool technology but politics and money are blocking Apple users from being able to use this technology.  You can hear the movie but there is no picture.  Nothing is wrong, Amazon has just blocked all Apple users from what I can tell.  It does seem a bit hush,hush for some reason.  I love Apple, but they need to learn to play with others better or they will find themselves in decline with all the Microsoft tablet products out there.  Anyone wish to weigh in on this dilemma? 

    While I agree Apple cannot control Amazon, but on the other hand Apple could try to negotiate on behalf of all their customers.  Apple is pretty powerful company, no excuses for not trying to do something.  There is now an app, and we know that Amazon does market themselves as not being exclusive. This is an incredible technology and should be enjoyed by Apple customers.
