IMac + Airport Express + eMac all at the same time?

I may be trying to do something that isn't possible (but it seems it should be!)
Upstairs I have a 24" white iMac running Leopard, with an ADSL connection.
One floor down I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo, which works, albeit at quite low volume.
Another floor down I have an eMac running Tiger, which connects to the internet via my iMac upstairs. This also works fine.
My question is this: I would like to have the iMac, the stereo and the eMac all running at the same time, but I don't know how to do it. It's a case of the airport express or the eMac, but not both. Maybe it isn't possible?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

You need to configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the network created by the iMac. Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Connecting to multiple Airport Express base stations at the same time?

    I want to be able to use wireless internet and stream music to my stereo at the same time, but I only have a single internet connection behind my stereo and it's connected to the Pay TV. My options seem to be getting a new line installed behind the stereo so I can insert this into the same Airport Express base station I use for my music, or buying a second Airport Express base station and connecting it to one of the other internet connections in the room, then connecting to both Airport Express base stations at the same time.
    Is this possible? Are there other alternatives?
    Many thanks

    Nate, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Once you have a network, you can connect multiple AirPort Express (AX) to that network (wirelessly or via Ethernet). When your computer joins that network it can access all the AX.
    You could take your current internet connection and run it into an inexpensive router with multiple Ethernet ports (not the AX). If this is a wireless router then your AXs could be located elsewhere and connect as wireless clients to that network. Once you computer joined that network it could stream music to the AXs.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

  • Should airport express be configured with the same network as my existing router

    Should airport express be configured with the same network name as my Verizon router.

    A router signal can not be boosted as all routers put out the maximum allowed by law.  However, proper placement of a secondary router will enable it to "repeat" or extend the signal.
    An Airport can "extend" the WiFi created by another Airport.  It can not extend a non-Apple WiFi.  You need TWO Airport units, one to function as the main radio and the other to function as an extender.  I used two Express units.
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Connect the main Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Then connect the extender to AC power.  As before, open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  No need to add password info.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Thats not possible I'm afraid, only the Apple TV can receive an AirPlay stream, and even then only one at a time, unless you stream from a computer.

    You can stream from multiple libraries but they must all be using the same home-sharing ID

  • Using Aiport Express and internet at the same time?

    I was just wondering if anyone could offer any advice on this subject please?
    I've got a Macbook running through a wireless BT ADSL modem. I have also managed to connect the Macbook to my Aiport Express to allow me to wirelessly pipe iTunes through my stereo. I am aware that you cannot run both at once (i.e pipe music and browse the web) due to the Macbook being able to be only connected to one wireless network at a time.
    My questions is whether there is anyway round this? If I bought an Aiport Extreme base station, connected that to my wireless router and used the Airport Extreme base station for the wireless connection would I be able to add the Aiport Express to that wireless network and subsequently have the internet and the Aiport Express running on the same wireless network - hence being able to pipe the music wirelessly and also browse the web at the same time?
    Or is there another way round it?
    Any info anyone could offer would be a great help
    Thanks in advance
    James

    Ahh am I right in thinking this is the way to do it?

  • Can I connect to the airport and another internet at the same time

    I want to use my airport device to hook my printer up wirelessly.  I already have a wirless internet in my house.  Is it possible to connect to both at the same time?

    Yes. The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured to join the existing wireless network as a wireless client. In this configuration, you will only need to connect to the existing network for both Internet and printing.

  • I have a pdf. document with 100 pages. These are white postcards with addresses. I need to move all the address farther to the left. How can I move them all at the same time?

    1) I need to drag the same text on 100 pages at the same time to the same place. Is there a simultaneous way I can do this? the pdf file has 100 pages of a 4x 6 posta cards that contain addresses: one address per page, I need to select all addresses and at the same time move them to the same place within the postcard. I can select the text on one card (page) at a time and drag it to the desired place. The PROBLEM is that I need to do it at the same time on every page. otherwise it takes too long. PRODUCT IS ABOBE ACROBAT

    This it not the kind of editing task that one should do in a PDF file. It is not meant to be edited in such a way.
    You should try to get the original file used to create the PDF, edit it and then create a new PDF from it.

  • How can I remove the flags on emails on my Ipad all at the same time. I marked them all by mistake 4800 :(

    i marked by mistake all my emails with a flag how can I remove them all at the same time

    Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
    If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
    Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

  • HT4623 My husband just did the update for his iPhone 4, his phone is frozen with the iTunes page and a usb cable across the homescreen. He's tried holding down all the buttons all at the same time. can't shut it off. popped out the sim card, won't charge

    We just did the iPhone update ios 6. The screen is frozen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a USB cale across the screen. none of the buttons respond.The phone does not recognize the apple USB when connected. We tried holding all the buttons down at the same time and also removed the SIM card and reinserted.

    If it's not being recognized while it's in recovery mode in your itunes, try this
    plug the phone into the usb attached to the computer
    hold down the home and sleep/wake button on top simultaneously until the phone's screen goes black
    When the screen goes black, release your finger from the sleep/week button on top but continue holding the home button until you see a dialog on the itunes screen on your computer that says 'itunes has detected a device in recovery mode'
    then say 'ok,' select 'restore,' and say 'restore and update'

  • Logging, capturing and shooting all at the same time

    Hello,
    I have FCP 5 loaded on my MacBook Pro and trying to log, capture, and shoot at the same time.
    Here is my set up. I have my canon XL-1s recording to tape, also i have firewire running from the camera to the computer. FCP has the log and capture window open i receive timecode, picture and sound. I can log the clips as they happen and it gets placed in the bin.
    How can i have FCP capture "now" with an offline Photo JPEG compression, as i shoot?
    Thanks
    Eric
    MacBook Pro 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The firewire out from your camera must be captured using Capture Now. Unfortunately the file you capture will not have the same timecode associated with it as the tape - a massive pain if the need to recapture arises.
    In order to edit while recording, you need a hardware/software solution such as Picture Ready
    Not inexpensive, but if your project will support it ...
    good luck.

  • Time Capsule - Can it run as DHCP router, create a wireless network and plug into switch for wired network all at the same time?

    I have a closet with Wired connections from all over the house terminating in it. I also have the internet modem and a switch in this closet. My old setup was a netgear in the closet creating a wireless network and also feeding the Ethernet ports all over the house. In my room, I had an Airport express (a month old) bridging the wifi to make the wifi network larger. The Express was hard wired from the wall and my mac mini was using it's wifi (printer was plugged into other ethernet port). Everything was working great.
    Fast forward to last week. My Netgear died. So, I bought a time capsule. My plan was to move the Express to the closet and have it create the wifi network and also then run cat 5 cord from express to the switch to feed all the wired wall plugs. Reset it and set it up to create the wifi network as well as DCHP NAT. Wireless was running great on it. Then I plugged in the Cat 5 in the second Ethernet Port to the switch. Wifi stopped working and none of the computers would connect using wired connections either. They would see a 'network' but nothing would work. I would unplug the Cat 5 feeding the swtich and the wireless would start working again. Plug the Cat 5 back in and wireless would stop.
    So I thought I would try the Time Capsule in the closet and see if I could get it to work. Pretty much the same thing, except at this point I figured out if I went in and told it NOT to create a wifi network the wired portion worked fine and all the wired computers in the house worked fine. Of course, then I didn't have Wifi.
    I'm not clueless when it comes to networking, but I can NOT figure this out! Can either the Time Capsule or Express Create the wifi network AND also feed the data to the switch for all the wired computers?
    To simplify this is what I want my end result to be. I prefer the Time Capsule to be the wireless connection extender, but if I have to have the Express do it, I'm fine with that.
    1. Express in the closet creating the wifi network as well as feeding the data to the wired connections via my switch.
    2. have the Time capsule in my room at the opposite end of the house plugged into the hard wired connection to extend the wrieless network as well as have wired connections such as my printer and my Mac Mini.
    If I can get #1 to work, I don't think I'll have any problems with #2. Help!

    I have an equally complex setup with a managed switch actually but I have never seen the TC have this kind of issue.
    What I do notice is you have changed the TC from defaults.. you are using a non-default IP range.
    I have run across issues like this where people move things from default.
    I would like you to start over.. factory reset the TC. That will set it back to default router mode.
    Do the min setup on the TC..
    1. Change all names from what you were using. That includes the TC name and wireless name/s
    Make them short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric because that is the correct way to network. Apple default names with spaces and apostrophes are fundamentally bad.
    2. With just the TC plugged into the switch.. and a single computer connected by ethernet. Power cycle the whole network.. this allows the switch to clear all the old MAC address.
    3. Test on the computer just ethernet. Turn the wireless off.
    The computer must use dhcp and must get an ip from the TC.
    It has to get the correct Router.. ie Gateway.. I wish apple could stick with proper network terminology.
    And it must get same address or valid DNS server address/es.
    If it fails.. please plug ethernet directly to the TC.. bypassing the switch.
    You should get the standard IP addressing and internet connection.
    If not please post the screenshot from the Mac of the network preferences showing the ethernet setup.
    I need to see what address it does get. I need you to make sure the ethernet is the TOP of the list. So rearrange the order of network connection. With the airport off it should just go to the top of the list.
    If it appears to be working .. but a browser cannot connect, open a terminal and ping an internet address.
    Ping the actual gateway address the ISP gives you and ping the ISP dns address.
