How can I unlock the security so I cane play a song on my Sonos system?

I have a Sonos system that doesn’t play secret iTunes songs.
How can I unlock the security from the iTunes songs, so I cane play a song on my Sonos system?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

How do I play itune songs consecutively?

How do I play itune songs consecutively? They either play in a loop individually or stop at the end. Both on Windows and iphone.

Make sure the Repeat control is off. Tap to cycle between Repeat Off, Repeat and Repeat Track.
There is a similar control on the iPhone.
In the Songs view Ctrl-Click on any empty checkbox to ensure all the tracks are checked. Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track-to-track playback.

Can I connect my iMac's iTunes library via wi-fi to my Blu-Ray player so I can listen to the music on my computer with my home theater system?

My music library is on my iMac, located in a different room of the house than my home theater system with a decent Denon receiver and good Infinity towers. I have an iPod connector to the Denon which I can use, but the iPod has a limited library of songs, so I would like to somehow access my iMac music library and be able to play it through the home theater system. Hard wiring the components is out of the question due to length of run through several rooms of the house, no basement and cathedral ceilings. I already have my iMac and my Panasonic Blu-Ray player both connected to my wi-fi, and it seems there should be a way to connect both of them using the wi-fi. The blu-ray player is DLNA, but the Mac isn't, so that is out of the question. Is there any other way to get these components to talk to each other over wi-fi?

There is a DLNA media server called MediaLink that is designed for use with the Play Station 3. It is not advertised as working with other DLNA clients but it usually will. I use it to stream audio, video and pictures to a WDTV media player in my bedroom. Works great, even supports iTunes playlists. I believe it still has a free trial period so you can see if it works with your player.

Playing iPod Mini through Home Theater system

Hi all,
I have a Sony Home Theater system. It plays CDs, DVDs, AM/FM, and video from the TV. I bought a Monster cable to hook up my iPod Mini to the player (it has 2 jacks, a red and a blue one that goes to the player), hooked it up per the instructions (put the same color plug in the same color jack on the player), but no sound comes out. The menu options on the player are DVD, Video (which comes from the TV), FM and AM. I don't know how to program the player to make it play from the iPod, and as you can probably tell, I'm a girl and extremely technically challenged. I don't even know where to begin. Can someone offer some guidance, please? Thanks in advance!

There should be an auxiliary input on the Sony.
You need to select this input on the Sony.

Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

When my iphone4 is under the locked mode, ipod can only play two songs at most, and then the system collapses

When my iphone4 is under the locked mode, ipod can only play two songs at most, and then the system collapses, the screen is black and responds to no commends, not until I restart the machine. but the ipod function can work well under the normal mode, is it any hardware problem? thank Q!!

Do you mean crashes?
Try doing a full reset. otherwise it sounds like you might want to walk it into the nearest Apple Store and get an opinion there.
Good luck in any case.

Connecting an ipod to a home theater system

I recently purchased a home theater system with a USB port claiming the system can play music files. When I connected my ipod to the system, all I got was the "do not disconnect" message on the ipod screen and no ability to play music. When making the same connection with a scandisk flash memory MP3 player, there was no issue with playing the music. I am curious as to why the ipod will not play through this connection? I know I can connect the ipod through the audio in port on the home theater system, but by using the USB connection, I was hoping not only to play the music, but also charge the ipod as well. In addition to why my ipod will not play in this home theater system (RCA), is there another type of home theater system out there that does have a USB connection for the ipod to play through?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The best way depends upon your stereo system. If you system has an AUX input you can get a cable that goes from the headphone jack to the AUX in

How to connect mid 2012 MacBook Pro to home theater system

Okay so I'm looking at purchasing a home theater system and was wanting to know the best way to connect my mid 2012 MacBook Pro to the home theater system and TV. I am wanting to play both movies (Netflix etc) and music. Will my MacBook play 5.1 surround sound to the home theater system? Whats the best way to connect this all up? MacBook audio to the home theater system via Digital Optical from the headphone port with a 3.5mm to toslink adapter and then video to the TV via HDMI cable from the thunderbolt port with thunderbolt to HDMI adapter? My thinking was to separate the video and audio to get the best picture and sound. Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Will my MacBook play 5.1 surround sound to the home theater system?
Yes.
Whats the best way to connect this all up?
An AppleTV or any AirPlay-enabled AVR. AirPlay is wireless, though you could use wired Ethernet if you want to avoid all the potential problems associated with wireless. Make sure it specifically says AirPlay which is Apple's proprietary technology. There are quite a few of them to choose from today. Denon is one, I believe Pioneer, there may be others. Shop around. The AppleTV's price was recently reduced to $69 US and may actually be the most cost-effective solution, allowing you to research the best AVR for your needs. The AppleTV has both HDMI (audio and video) and optical audio outputs.
MacBook audio to the home theater system via Digital Optical from the headphone port with a 3.5mm to toslink adapter and then video to the TV via HDMI cable from the thunderbolt port with thunderbolt to HDMI adapter?
Way too complicated But if you really don't want to use AirPlay, you can purchase an inexpensive (< $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and an equally inexpensive (<$3) HDMI cable to any HDMI input on your AVR.
My thinking was to separate the video and audio to get the best picture and sound.
It makes absolutely no difference. HDMI and optical audio use completely identical digital audio signals.

How to set up connection for directv receiver, TV, and home theater system?

Can some one please show me the CORRECT way to connect my Directv receiver (it has no HDMI), Panasonic Viera HDTV (has 3 HDMIs) and my Samsung home theater HT-Z510 (has 1 HDMI)? The second question is with the set up that you advise, can I play the TV sound through my home theater speakers? and How do I do that each time I want to listen the TV sound through my home theater speakers? I am new and confused about all this so please provide or explain step by step please. Thanks in advance.

Making sense of your connections on a message board is never easy. Hopefully you can piece this information together.
Direct TV box to Panasonic TV using S-video cable....assuming it's standard definition. Component video if the box is HD. Run standard stereo RCA cables to the appropriate input for sound threw the TV speakers.
Your Panasonic TV will have a set of stereo(left/white,right/red) outputs. Run cable from that output into the same inputs on the Samsung surround unit. Use the sound units effects to acheive simulated surround. This is assuming you have no digital outputs on your box. If you do, you'll be able to get 5.1 when available using a digital connection.
Good luck.

Sony Home Theater System DAV-HDX275

I just bought a home theater system and I am wonder how to connect it to get the best sound out of it while watching blue ray movies or just plain old TV? There is a HDMI outputy on the back and a digital inout on the back. Whic one should I use and get th best results
Thanks!!!

The DAV-BC50 appears to have only stereo analog input ( pair of L/R RCA jacks). You need a cable with a stereo miniplug on one end and 2 RCA jacks on the other. The soundcard should be set to 2-speaker mode. The DAV-BC50 does not have any way accept discrete multichannel from the soundcard nor to accept encoded AC3/DTS from the soundcard. You can use Dolby Prologic II to get all your speakers going, but you should not use processing when playing DirectSound3D games because it will dilute the intended 3D soundfield produced from 2 speakers.

Please help with TV and home theater system for very large basement room....

I'm looking to get my boyfriend either a TV or home theater system for the basement. I know he eventually wants a 3d TV. Right now he has a set up where he has 2 tv's so he can play video games and watch sports.
The basement that the tv and home theater system will be in is large (I'd estimate at least 15 ft x 30 ft...maybe more) so I want to make sure the home theater system will be enough for the room. We live in a ranch so basically the basement is almost the size of the house with some of it being storage.
I've started to look at products online but there are so many and technology isn't really my thing.
If anyone could help with recommendations for the home theater system and/or the tv I'd appreciate it!
Thanks so so sooo much!!!!

What will he be using the HT system for? Just watching sports or skipping the movie theater and watching them at home. If you plan to watch them at home your going to be on a tight budget with the home theater system but it is possible. Spend good money on the sub, that is one speaker you don't want to skimp out on. With such a big space you have a lot of room to fill and the cheap subs aren't going to cut it. You will probably need two subs as it is. The speakers I recommend on a tight budget Polk or Klipsch. My list includes a Denon receiver as I am a Denon fan but Yamaha, Onkyo, or Pioneer will suffice.
Here is a Option 1 will run you about 1700 with just one sub. You could always go up a model on each speaker if you feel the one sub is enough. I like an explosion sounding like it happened in front of me so that is why I mention 2 subs.

Link iPhone to Sony DAV-DX155 Home Theater System

Does anyone know how I can link my iPhone to play music through my Sony home theater system which is model DAV-DX155? I believe it would have to be a particular cable but I dont know which cable that would be. Please help. Thanks!

One thing that might help out.
A cable from the headphone jack to your system might be the way to go.

Desktop/Finder keeps rebooting after upgraded to Maverick (mac mini hooked up to a home theater system)

My desktop keeps rebooting ever since I upgraded to Mavericks.
Current setup, Mac Mini hooked up to home theater (Panasonic SC-HTB20) that is then hooked up to my Panasonic Plasma TV.
I usually leave my Mac Mini on running and at least once a day when I turn on the TV I can see that my desktop was rebooted. Firefox and Chrome will say that it wasn't shut down properly and if I want to restore my previous session. Also some times when I switched the input to watch TV and switch back, all my windows will be scattered out of place. For example Chrome will be in the top left hand corner to the point that it's almost minimized and I wouldn't be able to move it as well. Only thing I can do is close out these applications and relaunch them. It doesn't appear that the OS actually crashed, but more like the desktop/finder itself crashed. Cause once in a while I will switch back or turn on the TV and the screen will stay black for a few minutes then I'll see the cursor in the top right hand corner. After that I will start to see the desktop and my application start loading. It doesn't go through the regular process of rebooting where you see the Apple logo so I don't think the OS actually crashed but I could be wrong.
For some reason it seems like Maverick doesn't like the home theater system. An almost guarantee way to reproduce the issue is to wait for the home theater to turn off after it's been inactive for a while. If I turn it on the home theater to have the audio coming from it I will see the desktop goes black immediately then the whole desktop reboot process I mentioned above will kick in.
Never had any of these issues on 10.7 before I upgraded to Maverick.
Anybody have any suggestion? I really don't want to format and downgrade back to 10.7.
Thanks

Sounds like a kernel panic.
If you post the report we could have a go at deciphering it.

How to connect Apple TV to projector and home theater system?

I have an Optoma HD20 projector that I have a long hdmi cable connected to and plugged that into my Apple TV. I also have an older home theater system that does not have an optical audio input. So I bought an adapter to go from optical audio to RCA cables. When I get it all plugged in and turned on I can't even get the video on my screen. What am I missing?
This is the adapter...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005F20756

Darn. Ok. Then do you have any suggestions for other options to connect the two? My projector is mounted to the middle of the ceiling with a whole for the wires that go along inside the ceiling to the other side of the room.
