If Airtunes accesses my iTunes, will it still play on iMac simultaneously?

I was just wondering if I had Airtunes and was using the iPhone remote app to play through my living room speakers, will music still play on my iMac at the same time?
As my iMac is connected to some pretty decent speakers, it would be nice to have the music both playing on my living room speakers but also simultaneously playing out through the iMac.
Whenever using the Remote app normally, it of course plays the music through my iMac. So despite Airtunes accessing my library to play it through my living room speakers, will/can iTunes still play the music through my iMac at the same time? Without having to stupidly buy another Airport Express?

You need a standard stereo mini (AirPort Express end) to RCA left/right audio cable (amplifier end). The Apple online store and most local Apple stores will have just what you need as well as any Radio Shack / Best Buy store. Check the link below for more information. You won't need the optical cable and should be able to find the audio cable only for around $10-15.

  • My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output.  Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram

    My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output.  Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram.  Can be any song, any time, same song will play if I select it again.  Bit of a bummer itunes is the main thing I use (macbook pro jukebox).

    Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
    Best of luck

  • Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

    ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
    1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
    2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
    3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
    Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

    Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
    That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
    There are two things to try before you upgrade:

  • ITunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

    No.  It has to be turned and connected to wifi.

  • ITunes will suddenly stop playing,

    ITunes will suddenly stop playing, like it has been muted. I have the latest version 10.6.1 (7) and am using a 17in macbook pro with Lion. Right now it is playing with no sound. Any ideas?

    Same problem both on my pc and iPad.  This issue has been going on for years.  Does iTunes every fix these things (just downloaded lastest update, no change), or respond to these strings?  What a worthless xxxxx.

  • On start up, my PC gives me an error APSDaemon.exe and my iTunes will not launch...is there a fix and if I remove and reinstall my iTunes, will I still have my content?

    May I get some insight, My PC (i know thats part of the problem but help if you can anyway) gives the APSDaemon.exe error wessage and will not allow my iTunes to open...if I delete and reinstall, will I still have my content as it may be an iCloud issue as well??? I'm not sure and appreciate the assistance.

    Try the following user tip:
    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

  • ITunes will no longer play any music.

    iTunes will open just fine, but when I click play on a song it won't play. The tracking icon won't move at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and the problem still stands. It started when I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Also, it does the same thing with CDs. iTunes won't play ANYTHING... HELP!

    Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
    There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
    Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

  • Itunes will no longer play some of my songs

    Any info will be appreciated. I no longer can play my converted songs in itunes after last update. Everything was working fine until the update. itunes will ask where there located but after i show where there at. it still won't play them. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!! I about to throw itunes and my ipod out the window.

    Sorry, it won't work. Won't even open the file.
    It shows me where it is, but when I click on the file, it only gives me the "open"/"cancel" options. If I click on "open" it takes me back to my iTunes library but without the selection. Shows me the song but gives me that exclamation point and says it can't be played.

  • Itunes will no longer play most songs...How do I fix?

    For the past two months or so itunes has increasingly been able to play less of my songs in any of my playlists. Essentially, I will click on the song, and nothing will happen. There does not seem to be any reason for it either. Some are downloaded songs, and some are from my CD's. It simply does nothing when I click on them to play. I cannot play the songs with any other media player either. It tells me that the songs are unrecognizable. The songs no longer play on the ipod touch either. How can this be fixed?

    Now this is really weird. I believe all of the .mp3 files play without issue. Most of the .m4p files do not play, but some will play on itunes, but some are playing on my ipod touch. None of the .m4a files play on anything. itunes will do nothing but not play the song. If I use a different media player on one of the songs not working, it will deliver an error message saying the file is unrecognizable. One thing is for sure, all of my songs worked fine a few months ago. Now, the probelm is progressively getting worse by the day.

  • ITunes will no longer play nor add to the library any mp3 files which I have created by conversion from a wav file.

    I am running iTunes 10 on XP Pro and it will no longer play those mp3 files which I have created by conversion from wav files.  I tried to delete some from the library and then re-add them but iTunes will not add them back to the library.
    Can anyone help solve this, please?
