I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!
I think I might have been sold a jelly - I want to listen to my music wirelessly which is why I bought the Airport Express, but I also have a wireless internet connection - can I do both?

Do you mean to say you already have a wireless network setup and thought by buying the Airport Express you just could use it for wireless music alone?
The Airport Express is chiefly a wireless router first, with the wireless music and printing as extra's.
It can be used for streaming music alone, but I think it needs to talk to network time servers and thus it gets screwed up over time not being on the internet. Also by your using your computers wifi for music streaming, no internet with your other router.
So it's a all Airport Express or back to a stereo mini cable.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

    You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

  • Music through the Airport Express and Wireless Headphones

    I have the Airport Express and have an audio cable connected to my stereo so I can play music wirelessly.  But now I have a complicated question.  Is there any wireless headones that will work with this so that the music is not played through the stereo speakers but through this wireless headphones? 
    --Gilbert

    I finally figured it out!  I needed to extend my my network using my Verizon Wireless network but then under the Music icon on the Airport Utility, I selected Enable Airplay and selected an iTunes speaker name that is the same as the name chosen for my Airport Express name.  This way, I can connect to my wireless network which the Airport Express is extending, but select my Airport Express as the speaker.  Woohoo!

  • Stream music/radio via airport express' but not using itunes

    Hi,
    I currently have 2x airport express in different rooms and I stream music etc from my itunes to them (via my airport extreme basestation). Is there any way I can stream net radio or music from other apps to it? E.g. I'd like to listen to the bbc radio player on my stereo, but it is only connected wirelessly to my airport express.
    Being able to do this would make my mac experience near perfect!
    Thanks!

    No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
    You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

  • I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro.  I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through.  It is however coming through my smaller Bose system.

    I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro.  I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through.  It is however coming through my smaller Bose system.  My main system is Alto APM80.1000 with Proel speakers.

    Hi it's a headphone jack and two larger (microphone type jacks?) at the other end.  Please excuse my not not knowing the name of anything - I know where everything goes but not the names!  So if I press Alt and the sound icon at the same time what output should I be choosing?
    I've tried plugging into the red and white tape in tape out and the front of the amp with a headphone/red and white jack lead and a slight sound comes out but of bad quality.
    When I'm going through my bose it's an easy headphone to headphone lead and is working perfectly.
    Thanks

    I called AppleCare this morning and Sean helped me out in a huge way. In all of my attempts, I had not done a factory-default reset on the main base station and apparently some sort of endless loop had occurred between those two stations. Sean was very helpful and patient with me, but now the system is working as promised. Moral of this story is if a factory default rest doesn't help on the "problem" base station, try resetting all of the units.

  • Play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express?

    Can I play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express.
    I believe I can, although it is not totally clear how to do so.
    Can I use an old Apple AirPort Express (1st generation) or do only the newer versions of the Apple AirPort Express do the trick ?

  • I want to access my Icloud account through my office computer but every time I get a message saying ''iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server''

    I want to access my Icloud account through my office computer but every time I get a message saying ''iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server''

    My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
    On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7.

  • How on earth could I be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when it is not connected to anything?

    I'm not entirely displeased with the situation but I cannot see how I could be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when the Airport is not connected to anything.
    Weird huh?
    I have a separate non- Airport wireless network connected to the Internet.  I had previously set-up the Airport to link with this network but disconnected it (by resetting it) as music streaming was unlistenable due to frequent drop out.  I now just have the Airport Express as a standalone wireless network only connecting to the stereo to stream music from devices.
    My devices are only connected to the Airport network with cellular data off. Yet I can still connect to the Internet AND listen to streaming music (without drop-out no less).
    I don't want to fix it but I would like to know how the frag it could happen so i don't screw it up accidentally.

    I would say you still have something of the previous setup.
    To be sure you don't mess up, save the configuration.. go to the top menu area of the airport utility and export configuration.. which will land on your computer.
    Now you can recover at anytime to the current setup.
    How it works.. that is magical ..
    Open the airport utility.. edit.. and take a screenshot and post it of the following pages..
    Internet wireless network
    THen we can tell you how it is working.

  • IPAD/IPOD playing music to a Airport Express - No Sound?

    I have an IPAD and an IPOD.  IPAD is 4th gen, IOS7.  IPOD is 4th gen, IOS6.
    Airport express is the new one second generation.  Airport Express is wired to my home network, and its in bridged mode with wireless off.  Its purpose is only to play music via airplay.
    When I turn on airplay on my IPAD or IPOD I can always see my Airport Express.  It always allows me to select it as my output speaker.  However, only sometimes does music actually play through my Airport Express / Stereo setup.  The IPAD or IPOD always shows the music playing in its music playing app.  It appears as if its working.  I just cant always hear it.
    If Im trying to play music but no sound is coming out of my stereo, I can power off my IPAD or IPOD, then try playing music again and it will work.  This is a work-around to my problem that really bugs me.  I want to properly diagnose this problem so that I do not have to power cycle my iDevice before using airplay.
    Ive read many posts about Airport Express sound problems.  Most problems seem to be either short audio drop-outs, or not detecting the Airport Express.  I think my problem is different.
    I have read some people had success downgrading their Airport Express firmware to 7.6.1 to fix the short audio drop-outs.  I have not tried this as my problem is not worth audio drop-outs.  Its with no sound at all playing.
    I am begginging to think the Airport Express isnt as rock-solid for airplay as I thought.
    QUESTIONS:
    Are there any tools available for troubleshooting this type of problem?  The knowledge base articles Ive read from Apple have been no help.
