I have an Apple TV connected to the tv and sorroundsystem and I have an iMac

I also have a wi-fi system that the computer and the Apple-tv are connected to. Can I listen to my Spotify-lists in the computer and make them sound in the soroundsystem?

If you extend your IMAC desktop to your Apple TV, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
The only thing I can see as an issue is if the wi-fi system recieves audio via TV HDMI you might have to leave the TV on during operation.
If you feed the wi-fi system via optical out of the AppleTV you might be able to avoid this limitation.

  • I have HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but no audio from my new Apple TV.  I have checked all connections and the video is xlnt.  Have also toggled thru every possible Dolby/Audio combination in settings.  Help!  Any suggestions?

    I have an HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but there is non audio from my Apple TV.  Not for movies, music, YouTube etc.   I have checked all of the connections and the video is xlnt.  Have also toggled thru all possible Dolby/Audio combinations in settings.  Help!  Any suggestions?

    Hello again Parker -
    The basic setup is Digital Cable Box, DVD Player, Denon Receiver/Amp and TV Monitor.  To that I added the Apple TV.  The Receiver only has two HDMI IN slots (one for cable and one for the DVD) and one out to the Monitor. 
    [I bought a switcher to toggle the DVD and the AppleTV back and forth but just disconnected the DVD to simplify when I ran in to trouble.]
    So now I have:
         HDMI from the Cable Box to the Receiver
         HDMI from the Apple TV to the Receiver (in the old DVD slot which always worked well)
         HDMI from the Receiver to the Monitor
         RCA's from the Receiver to the Subwoofer and the other speakers
    In addition I have some backup connections:
         S-Video, Optical Audio and L/R RCA's from the Cable Box to the Receiver
         S-Video from the Receiver to the Monitor
    Wait - JUST FOUND IT! 
    By going thru the excercise to track all of the connections per your suggestion, I found an anomaly when I switched Receiver sockets for the HDMI links.  The video moved but the audio didn't.  Turns out the monitor was using the optical audio feed from the receiver.  So I disconnected the optical audio and the monitor automatically switched to the HDMI audio feed!   Looked promising...
    So I first connected an optical audio feed from the ATV to the receiver - Audio!  Then I pulled it, but the audio didn't switch to the HDMI feed.  It stopped.  Would be OK if all I was going to use is the ATV, but I need the DVD player too and I can't use a switcher to toggle between them if I have to unplug the optical audio each time.
    This is becoming a career!  Any suggestions?

  • I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    Try this:
    Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
    If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
    If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

  • How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

    I got my sister's ipod touch. I have gone to settings and logged off her apple id account, and logged onto mine. Now, when I went to update my apps in the app store, they asked for the password to my sister's apple id. How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • I created a book on iPhoto. I click on the buy button, and I get a connecting message with a blue striped rectangle. I am connected to the internet and I have made books before without any problems. I have tried for the past two weeks at various times.

    I created a book on iPhoto. I click on the buy button, and I get a  message that says Connecting with a moving blue striped rectangle. I am connected to the internet and I have made books before without any problems. I have tried for the past two weeks at various times and I get this same message each time. Any ideas about what is going on? 

    First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

  • My Apple TV connects to the computer but streams blips of sound.

    I have re-booted everything, Mac, Router, Apple TV.  I can connect to the Mac and see the library and such from the Apple TV.  Apple TV apps work fine.
    The issue is when I try to use the computer to play music through the Apple TV, it just gives me blips of sound every couple of seconds.  The album art is there on the Apple TV, and the song time moves along as normal, but you only hear blips of the song roughly every 2 seconds.  Movies I try to stream to the Apple TV from the Mac buffer forever.  The Apple TV is only a couple of months old, and it has worked perfectly the whole time.  I'm not sure what changed.
    It has been a few days since the problem started, and I have even restored the Apple TV.  The Airport Express plays perfectly from the Mac, so I don't think it's WiFi or iTunes on the computer.
    I am completely stumped as to what this weirdness is...  Any ideas or similar issues?

  • Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

    Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective???  Thank you!

    This might help:
    Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
    Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
    Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
    Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
    Enable Wireless MAC filter
    Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
    Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
    Click "Save Setting"
    When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
    Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

    How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
    I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
    With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc  if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
    Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
    Thanks in advance

    You are likely forgetting a step.
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Click Edit in the small window that appears
    Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
    Click Restart
