HT4437 AirPlay speakers on one source

I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this. How many AirPlay speakers can run simultaneously from one iPad 3? My goal would be to have AirPlay speakers throughout the house all running off one iPad on a wi-fi network.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I realise it is a while since the last post on this thread was placed but as the thread is still being issued in response to questions it needs updating.
Whaale Player which is available from the App Store allows you to connect up to 6 AirPlay Speakers. I have been successfully using it to play music from my ipad2 to 2 speakers for the last three hours. Sadly it does not yet distribute radio.
Regards.
Rob.

Can ATV2 serve as source for Airplay speakers? I'd like to send non-ITunes streaming (e.g. Netflix movies) to Airplay wireless speakers.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not currently possible sorry.

HT4437 Is it possible to stream audio from a non-Itunes program on a computer (say, a website, Youtube, etc...) to Airplay speakers?

When you set up the new Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer both from your iMac and your external drives. You can also use Target Disk Mode to drag over the things you want.

Is ther a way to send music to multiple airplay speakers on my ipad without having to use itunes

Hello all, l have a question that relates to air play and my ipad 4.
ls there a way to send music to multiple airplay speakers with my ipad 4 without having to use itunes as the master controller on my other PC. l know it is possible with itunes, but surely the ipad should be able to play to more than one airplay device at a time, we are living in the year 2013.
Is there an alternative and if there is not, could someone please explain or point me in the wright direction why it is so!
Thank you all in advance for your comments

Yes there is and I'll be happy to email you how. [email protected] is my address.

Airplay Speakers

Hello, hopefully someone on here can advise me re Airplay Speakers.
I have all my music on my iMac in my home office. What I want to do is have a speaker in my lounge at home that works over wi-fi, streaming the music from my iMac and control what is playing from my iPhone using the remote app. Firstly, is this possible in this way as I presume? Secondly, what speakers does anyone recommend? I've had mini iPod dock speakers before that sound rubbish. I want a proper speaker this time.
One other thought, is there such a thing as an AirPlay enabled soundbar, that way I can achive the same as above but also use this to improve the audio from my TV too? Or is this one step too far?
Thanks for your help.

No, you can also get a connector that has a jack input and then two outputs to connect two speakers. And the another one for the third etc. They will all play at same time though.

Airplay speakers keep disconnecting

I have a first generation airport express hooked up to a cable modem (via ethernet) and my stereo (via the 1/8 inch stereo jack). In the same room, about 8 feet away from the airport, I have a latest generation apple tv hooked up to a projector, connected to the airport express via wifi. The apple tv uses airplay to send audio to the stereo via the airport.
This set up will work for a time (anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes), and then without fail, the video I'm watching will stop as if I had paused it and the airplay speakers will disconnect. So if I then restart the video, the audio will play out of the projector's tiny speaker. I can, of course, navigate out of whatever apple tv app I'm in and go into settings to reconnect the airplay speakers, but this is extremely annoying, especially when this happens every single time I use the apple tv, and repeatedly. I can unplug and restart everything in my setup (the airport, the cable modem, the apple tv) and the problem will go away for a little while (maybe 30 minutes) but it always comes back. I'm really hoping to find a solution to this incredibly annoying problem. I've searched these forums, but haven't found anyone with a solution.
I have followed all of Apple's recommendations for wifi router settings. I have also used the wifi troubleshooting app to locate a radio channel that no one in within range is on (channel 10) and am currently using that channel, but it hasn't helped at all.

Have you tried any other channels on the router?
Connect the Apple TV via ethernet.
Reboot ATV and Airport Express.

Airplay mirroring and airplay speakers

I would like to set up airplay mirroring so that audio gets directed to my airplay speakers and the images to the TV.
LIke this:
iPhone-->ATV-->Airplay speakers
I can airplay audio through the phone directly to the speakers, and I can also select speakers on the ATV and airplay audio from ATV apps directly to those speakers.. I can also airplay audio only from the iPhone through the ATV to the speakers, as long as I'm not mirroring.
However when I turn on mirroring, the audio always goes right to the TV and not to the speakers. I was told that what I'm trying do cannot be done with Mirroring. Is this right? Has anyone got this setup to work?
Would be nice if I can stream shows from a browser to the ATV and then audio to the Airplay speakers. So far I have not been able to get that to work.
Help or advice appreciated, thanks!
Sam

For what it's worth, I managed a workaround with VLC and Airfoil to mirror a video to Apple TV and send the audio to AirPlay speakers. However, there's still the 2 second delay issue for most other sources, like Chrome and games.
It seems what's missing is a way on the Apple TV to redirect the audio to an AirPlay source while mirroring (holding down select does nothing in this mode, unlike Netflix or Movies where it brings up a source selection menu). It would be SO COOL if this was implemented in a future ATV update - for all of us with projectors out there.

Airplay Speakers- Philips Fidelio SoundAvia

I am looking to play my itunes library and also music apps such as spotify, iheart radio and pandora off of my ipad to 2 speakers in different rooms. I have a macbook but it is usually off. I am looking into either an Apple TV or Airplay speakers, such as the Phillips Fidelio Avia. Is it possible to do this with either of these? I understand multiple speakers may not be possible. I have also heard about AirFoil and wonder if this makes this setup possible. Also, if I have wireless speakers attached to the TV, then if I use Apple TV will it stream to more than one speaker?

The Fidelio Avia can be used as part of a multiple speaker set up and you can either control it from your computer or use an iPhone or iPad with the Remote App which interfaces with iTunes on your computer. The Apple TV can also be used as part of the same multiple speaker setup, as can an Airport Express, which is cheaper. In fact that is the system I have. I usually run my iMac, Apple TV and the Fidelio at the same time.
From the iPhone you can both choose tracks or playlists and adjust the multiple speaker setup, the relative volumes etc.
The only thing which is slightly problematical with the Fidelio is that it shows up in the Multiple Speakers popup at the bottom right of the iTunes window on your computer but doesn't show up in the control dropdown. The trick is to select it from the popup so it is playing in single mode, then go to the dropdown and click the other speakers on. The iPhone interface for the multiple speakers is by contrast flawless and all Airplay speakers will show up equally. Once settings are made they will stick.
As far as I am aware you will not be able to stream from your computer to the multiple speakers outside of iTunes so that precludes Spotify or Pandora, however there are lots of radio stations within iTunes you will be able to stream.

Airplay speakers through powerline adapter doesn't connect

Since I use iTunes on my Mac Mini on my network & that my airplay speakers are connected on my AX via two Powerline adapters to send ADSL without cable from my switch to my AE (before I used it by Wifi from my AE, but the wifi was not enough to go from one floor to the other), it's impossible to connect to the airplay speakers from my Mac Mini. I can do it directly from my Iphone if my Iphone is connected on the wireless. I think there is a problem with the Powerline Adapters (T-Link AV200 mini TL-PA210KIT).
Can you help me to find a solution with this configuration, or do you think that's impossible with it ?
Thank you

After giving up making the Huawei router work with Airplay I did something that I believe confirms the router is the problem.
I plugged an extra Macbook Pro over ethernet to the router/modem and created a network on it sharing internet, printers etc.
I joined the AX to the MBP's network and it all works beautifully.
But having a MBP as a router seems a bit of a waste. I'm looking at buying a new router. Sure an Airport Extreme would be the perfect choice but a bit too expensive right now.
Does anyone know of any routers that will work well with airplay? Any particular brands besides Apple?
Thanks a lot!

HT5517 changing airplay speakers doesn't work, also photostream

I have a network of airplay speakers that work perfectly all over my house from my iPhone and mac perfectly. I was playing around with my newest generation Apple TV 1080P, and while it finds all of the rooms, when I select another room no sound comes out. I am very confused. Also, I noticed that my photostream has not updated in a while. I restarted the Apple TV and it added another 50 photos or so, but still 100 short of the photos I had updated.

Then this function in Airplay settings is completely useless. It's just a screen. What is the point of being able to select a different room through the AppleTV (with a checkmark), and nothing happens? It was one of the touted features of the latest update for the AppleTV.
Here is the note from Apple TV Support Section. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5517
Changing AirPlay speakers
You can use AirPlay to play music or other audio content on the Apple TV on other AirPlay speakers.

Apple TV 2 is not playing through Airplay speakers.

I just installed two Airport express base stations, one as a router adn the other as a range extender. Both are connected to speakers for the purpose of using as AIrplay speakers. My other iOS and iMac devices recognize and play through the airplay speakers except the ATV 2 (firmware 5.2). ATV2 recognizes the airplay speakers, but always playing through the TV speakers. How can I make it play through the Airplay speakers? Thanks

Very funny I had the beta before and Airplay speakers worked only for music and music videos. Now I updated to the latest and now I can use Airplay Speaker for MOVIES as well.
But it works only with my ATV2 and not with my ATV3 (no beta was installed before)

AirPlay speakers...where's the 802.11n??

So I'm in the market to get some whole home audio going in my house. I've researched all of the various methods to do so (wired + receiver, airport express + speaker + amp, airplay speakers, bluetooth, etc) and I think I'm going to settle on getting AirPlay speakers. I just don't want to mess with wiring everything up and doing the AirPort Express thing....plus AirPlay speakers are actually cheaper than doing anything else. Granted you don't get the flexibility, but it's still a better budget decision.
In looking for some good AirPlay speakers, the only budget options ($150 or so) are Phillips and iHome. I've found both on eBay for around $80 a pop depeding on the version. Anyway....what's the deal with the AirPlay speakers only having 802.11b/g? I was getting ready to pull the trigger, but now I'm thinking I won't because of 802.11n becoming the standard and b/g will be going out the window soon. My wifi router supports the legacy frequencies, but I don't want to buy speakers and then in 2 years they are obsolete. I know I know, go with the airport express route. Well I'm open to suggestions at this point, but I'm just curious as to why the speaker manufacturer's are bundling b/g into their NEW products?

I had a similar concern: an airplay speaker only support 11g, not 11n. I did some study and made my move and hopefully it helps by sharing what I did.
Study:
The major chip inside airplay speakers comes from one single vendor: SMSC (lately got bought by Microchip). It offers 11b/g and not 11n. No firm schedule on 11n, it takes time to make a speaker from a chip
Most 11n routers support 11b/g too. So playing music to 11g airplay speakers shall not be a problem; but it will affect your internet speed as some old routers will downgrade to 11g (which is 54Mbps, not too bad).
The new 11ac routers with multi-bands (2x2 or 3x3) can be a solution to this with ability to have separate channel for 11g airplay and other channel for 11ac internet browsing.
My Purchase:
I did not buy any airplay speaker as it is over $100 my budget. Instead, I bought Yamaha PDX-60 dongle speaker which uses propietery RF technology which happened on sale at Amazon at that time. I did a check at Amazon store as I write and they are gone already. (relief: as I do not want to be sounded like sales :-)
Hope it helps//

Can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes

I suddenly can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes on my new Macbook Pro - they are visible but cannot be selected. I can connect to them from other Macs and iPads. Can anyone help, pls? I have set the whole network up several times, rebooted system ie.

I had this happen to me on the odd occasion but now have it sorted. If I'm going to use my Airport Epress(s) I first make sure that my PC is connecting to the AE before I even turn on iTunes.
A problem I was having was that my PC was connecting to my wireless router by default (specifically when my laptop was turned off) and not to the AE. As a consequence when iTunes started it greyed out the remote speakers and sometimes the button was not even showing up.
Now that I ensure my PC is talking to the AE everytime I do not have a problem.
I do have one annoying thing with the AE setup though, if I'm playing music over the AE and I unplug any USB device (printer, USB Key, External drive etc) the wireless connection is broken and I have to start iTunes. I suspect it is a hardware issue relating to my particular HP PC as I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows XP and it still happens. I can live with it.

Wifi problem with airplay speakers

I have tried everything to fix the wifi connectivity problems of my ihome iw2 speakers. I bought them and connected them to an open network by a starbucks but since then I haven't been able to connect them to a wifi network much less use them. I tried everything including the ethernet direct connect and it still won't connect. Anyone know anything else I can try?

No one got any ideas ?? Please!!
In the absence of any response, I've been playing around with the set up and have i think managed to conclude a few things....
1. I havent managed to resolve why the iTunes app on my phone is randomly shuffling content against album name and album cover....
2. The airplay problem does not appear to iTunes related or WiFi related or Armourhome speakers related, as ive tried isolating both and get the same results - and it times out and wont connect to any of the airport devices.... I've also found I have to reboot the mac before i can use Apple TV, if it hasn't been used for more than a day or so.
3. I changed the power management settings on the Mac to put disks to sleep never, and wake on network access..... tried to access my airplay this morning... and nada - request to connect to airplay speakers timed out. I also have iTune set to open at log in.
Rebooted the Mac, and hey presto works perfectly..... this is starting to drive me nuts...! Can anyone else suggest anything else to try ? Its got to be something in OSX which is putting something to sleep in the Mac or causing it to loose a link somewhere....
Please please please can someone chuck some ideas in to the hat on this....

My Mac has been suffering a slow performance, lagging and often froze. One source recommends using Onyx. Is that a trustable source?

I have a Macbook Pro OS X Version 10.9.4. Processor speed of 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, memory of 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity of 203.51 GB out of 319.21 GB. I have been experiencing very slow performance and sometimes the screen will froze. The spinning wheel is very common and long. I have try to delete as many things as i could from my computer, restarting it but to no avail. One source suggests me to use Onyx. Would that help to solve my problem?
