HT1551 Streaming music from iPhone 4 to apple tv

I can stream videos and photos no problem from my iPhone but can't seem to play music. I can select the button which gives you a choice of iPhone or apple tv but just seems to play silently on my phone and not through the tv. The button seems to turn blue for some reason(not sure if relevant). I've done the usual reboots, software updates etc but doesn't work. Any ideas ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you restart your Apple TV, iPhone and the router. What format is the music in.

    How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv while doing a phone call at the same time?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.

  • Streaming music from iPhone to Mac?

    Hey guys, I'm currently using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display, the late 2013 version and also the iPhone 6, 64GB. I recently found out that I could play music from my computer but controlling it with my phone. It's called streaming music, I guess? I'm not too sure. I've been trying to figure out how to do that for the past few weeks and I've been unable to do that and I'd like to know how to do it cause I'd love to stream music from my phone but playing from my Mac.
    I could really use some help with this.

    simple really. You get a box (that's the Apple tv), You plug it into the wall, and then into the tv set. You run setup, it finds your network, then you get out either your Macbook pro, mac pro, iPhone or whatever else has Airplay built in (it's under iTunes--I don't know if you can share all of your music or control it, but I know it's there). You find something you want to stream to the Apple tv,  make sure airplay is on  , you click play on it, and it shows up on the tv.  It's  $70.  Reflector or something like that, which lets you stream from your iphone to your Mac, is around $15.  XBMC should be free (I just found out that you have to jailbreak your iphone first), so there's that.  Along with Reflector, there's AirServer and X-Mirage. You also have to turn mirroring on. I've also found out it works with Airport express. I think Apple designed Airplay to work with Apple tv and airport expres only, so I'd recommend going with Reflector, AirServer or X-Mirage, all of which should do the job okay

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

    Hi
    I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
    the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
    ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5  and lion on my Mac
    just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
    I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
    any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
    Thanks in advance

    thanks for your replies.
    It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
    But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.

  • Can't stream Music from iTunes to my Apple TV

    I bought an ATV for the sole purpose of being able to stream music from my PC iTunes account to my Samsung smart TV.  As it turns out, that is the one thing my ATV will not do.  I have had my ATV for about three months and have never been able to stream music to it from my PC.  I do not see my ATV as a device in iTunes and I do not have the airplay icon visible in iTunes
    Gear
    3rd generation ATV
    PC running Windows 7
    Here are some things which work fine on the ATV:
    Netflix works perfectly e.g., it sees my wifi network
    Youtube works perfectly
    Under Music I can see the 2 songs my wife purchased from the iTunes store – I purchase all my music from Amazon.
    Things I have done
    Turned Home Sharing on and am using the same account in iTunes and on my ATV
    Reinstalled iTunes – 11.0.2.26
    Updated ATV to latest software
    Rebooted my computer – several times
    Rebooted my router – several times
    How do I resolve this issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried a new approach and unplugged my ATV brought it over to my computer and connected it to my router via ethernet.  This caused the airplay icon to show up on the transport bar in iTunes.  I could select the ATV as an output.  I disconnected the ethernet cable and reconnected the ATV to my TV.  The airplay icon remains in iTunes but the ATV is no longer there as an option - only my computer speakers.  Any ideas?

  • Streaming music from iphone 3GS ipod to powered speakers

    Can I stream music to my powered speakers(attached to an Airport Express) from the IPhone 3GS iPod?
    Is there an app made to do this?

    At the moment, no. I would suggest submitting feedback to Apple if you want this feature.

  • Problem streaming music from Iphone through Apple TV2 to receiver

    I have an apple TV connected via Audio Optical cable to my receiver. When I play movies from my Iphone, the sound is fine. But when I want to play music, no sound is coming out. I start the music then select Apple TV as output but still nothing.

    Too whom it may interest, I found the cure. I unpluged the Apple TV2 from power and repluged it after 5 minutes and rebooted my Iphone 4. Problem solved.

  • Stream music from iPhone to stereo with air express

    Can you stream iPhone 4 music to airport express for stereo

    Yes. ref: Apple Support: Wi-Fi base stations: How to set up and configure AirPort Express for AirPlay and iTunes

  • Stream music from iPhone to AirPort Express without network possible?

    For an event I want to send music directly to my Aiport Express with AirTunes which of course is plugged into an amplifier/mixer connected to the speakers.
    This way I can roam and control the music.  Is this possible without a network created by a router?  Can one effectively make a direct connection from an iOS device to the Aiport Express; and ad-hoc connection perhaps?

    Thanks for the update - I am only familiar with networks and this is actually an iPhone/iTunes question so I would suggest that you re-word your question and re-submit it on the appropriate forum - that being said, if you can do what you want to do with an Express attached to the internet then you can do it this way - however keep in mind that the only audio output on Express is for a regular audio cable or an optical cable - I hope this helps.

  • Cannot stream music from MacBook Pro to Airport Express

    Hi, I have an Airport Express. But with both my computer (imac and MacBook Pro) if I try playing music from itunes, it cannot connect. An Airplay pop up window opens and trying connection to airport for ever...
    On the other hand, it works when streaming music from iphones or ipads.
    I have tried changing settings...but it never works....
    Can anyone help please
    thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I am afraid it still does not work.
    Now, when I select the Airport, it tries connecting for a long time "connecting to "Airport Name"...but never connects.

  • Stream Music over iPhone from iTunes Server direct to Airport Express?

    Hi all
    I have a wireless network supported from timecapsule which will be expanded via airport extress. I use airport express to stream music from my iTunes library to defined speakers via remote app on my iPhone.
    Due to lack of diskspace on my MacBook Pro, I bought a Synology NAS to store all my music on it and use the iTunes server.
    Unfortunately, there is obviously no app from Apple available to connect to iTunes server (via iPhone or iPad) select music to play and also the speakers to stream to!
    Thanks for your help!
    Regards, Jean-Claude

    I think this is really disappointing especially since it seems to be able to stream from the Apple TV G1 to Airport Express devices. Also it's weird that you will be able to stream from the iPad to Airport Express devices including Apple TV G2 but the same thing is not possible from the Apple TV G2... Let's hope they'll change that but maybe they did it on purpose because the Apple TV G2 is streaming itself... This is really disappointing.
    Also I recognized that music that is played via the home sharing on your Apple TV G2 doesn't include the ratings. Ratings are not transferred via home sharing. I don't think your playcount etc. will be updated as well. This is very disappointing as well. What do you guys think about that?
