Imovie through my home stereo?

I enjoy front row and it seems to work really well. I love listening to itunes through my home stereo with the use of an Airport Express. BUT... When I play a movie on imovie, or watch a slide show through iphoto the sound comes from the dinkie little computer speakers. Does anyone know how to pipe the sound through my airport express? Thanks in advance!

There isn't a way to do this from within Front Row. However there are 3rd party applications that allow you to configure your computer to do this (I can't recall their names off hand). Basically they intercept the audio and then pipe it out to whatever output you wish (in this case the Airport Express).

    I'd suggest checking with the Mfg. of your receiver, many sell an iPod/iPhone dock connector for this purpose.

  • Playing music from my iPad through my home stereo?

    Can I play music from my iPad through my home stereo using AirPlay and an Airport? Is this the way to go?

    Do you actually have to have either an TV or an AirPort Express on your network in order to get the AirPlay icon to appear? Because I cannot find it, but I do not have either device.
    How/Where do you find it in the Video app?

  • How to improve iTunes sound quaility through analog home stereo?

    The core of my home stereo system is an old NAD 7140 stereo receiver and I really like the sound. I have set up a dedicated laptop (a bottom-end Lenovo Ideapad) that I just keep next to the stereo and use it as a storage device/glorified mp3 player. I keep all my "second tier" music there -- the music where I can live without a physical CD jewel case. I use a simple RCA/headphone y-cable to run from the Aux input in the back of the receiver to the headphone jack on the laptop.
    The trouble is, the sound just isn't very good. It often sounds muddy and boomy with certain genres  -- old school rock n roll particularly. Hooking up my wife's MacBook Pro and using that as a player is an improvement, but it is still not 100%. My guess is that the soundcard on the Lenovo is just poor quality, while the soundcard on the MacBook is better, but that neither was really designed to interface that well with an analog stereo receiver.
    So, I'm trying to figure out a way I can keep the NAD 7140 but get better sound out of my mp3 collection. And I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I have heard that USB-based Digital Audio Converters may be the ticket -- something like the HRT Music Streamer II or the NuForce ICON. Is that a solution you folks  could recommend? Or is there another path I should take? BTW, I'm not a fanatic when it comes to sound quality. AAC is fine by me -- no need for FLAC or other lossless formats. I just want the sound routed through my laptop to come closer to the sound routed through the CD player. IF DACs only offer infinitesimal improvements, then I think I'll pass
    I'd appreciate any insight you could give

    No one listens to iTunes through an analog stereo????

  • IPod through my home stereo.

    I now have my entire CD collection on my iPod classic, some 700 CD`s, about. I have connected to it my 70`s system ( a JVC 80 watts per channel amplifier (RMS) and excellent Bowers and Wilkins speakers. The sound is not as good as from CD`s, but ok. How could I improve it? I just bought the Bowers and Wilkins headphones too which I highly recommend......sounds like an ad for B&W!!!
    Thank you, Michael

    You could improve it by upping the sampling rate but on a good stereo it's not ever going to sound as good as a CD. The convenience is great, though, and if you're listening to it as background music you're all set. If you're going to sit and enjoy the true listening experience it's better to stick with the CD (or DVD audio).

  • Is it ok to run audio through a home stereo

    I am currently using a stereo system for my audio output for one of my macs (a new mac-mini, running Lion).
    I've plugged a cable with a 3.5 mm plug (stereo) into the headphone jack on the mini. The cable splits into to two RCA style plugs, which I've then plugged into the back of an old stereo amplifier (using the aux. inputs). The amplifier is pushing a pair of large floor speakers.
    The setup seems to work fine, though one channel seems to be louder than the other (I believe this is a problem with the amplifier itself).
    It blows away any set of computer speakers I've ever used.
    My question: is there any problem with doing this?
    Is there any potential of causing damage to the computer?
    Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm doing?

    The aux input of your stereo is the right place to plug in your computer. You are fine in doing this. As to a better way of accomplishing what you are doing? Probably not. You have the stereo there, are happy with its sound, crank up the volume and be happy :-)

  • I am trying to play my digital music off a hard drive onto my home stereo.  I would like to know if the mac mini can just hook to my processor and play music through the processor(preamp) on my home stereo speakers?

    I currently have a nice home stereo component system.  I also have a 500 GB external hard drive loaded with music.  I am looking for a way to play the music off this Hard Drive onto my home stereo system.  I currently have a WD home entertainment box that I can play movies that I download off the Internet on my TV, of course piped through my home stereo for the sound.  I would like to know if the mac-mini could be used in this form also.  Just have the HD hooked to it, the TV would become my monitor and the mac mini would play the music ... RANDOMLY ... with the use of iTunes.  This of course would be hooked up to the home system with an hdmi cable and the HD hooked up through a USB connection.
    Just would like to know if this could work?

    Yes. Is the short answer.
    You can directly connect the speaker out port of the Mac mini to an input on the AV Receiver which then feeds your speakers. This would be an audio only solution. If you use a TOS-Link connection this will be a pure digital connection ensuring the best quality (important for audiophiles).
    You can if you wish connect the video from the Mac mini to the AV Receiver, and if you have a Mac mini with HDMI or a Mini Displayport you can run the audio and video via a single cable. (Older models would use two cables, the aforementioned TOS-Link pus a DVI to HDMI cable.)
    If you do connect the video output from the Mac to the AV Receiver you can then display this on your TV, and have as one possibility iTunes displayed with perhaps one of the iTunes visualisers playing along with the music. Another possibility would be to use FrontRow on the Mac.
    A different approach would be to have the Mac mini stream over a network to a device e.g. the Sonos Zoneplayer which is then connected to the AV Receiver. An AirPort Express is also able to do this.

  • Using iPod Touch remotely while playing back through home stereo.

    Hey, I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm interested in knowing if there is a set of accessories I can buy that will allow me to do this:
    I want to play music through my home stereo. I want to use the iPod Touch to select which music is played, and I don't want to have to have the Touch plugged into anything.
    The music doesn't necessarily need to be played from the Touch, it can be played from my computer instead, the Touch would just need to be able to control and browse my iTunes in this case. Or alternatively the Touch could stream music to some sort of station connected to the stereo.
    Is this possible right now or do I need to wait for a new product to allow me to do this.
    Lets say price is no concern right now, is there anything out there that would allow me to do this?
    Thanks

    there is a web application currently that would allow the touch to remotly control ur itunes on ur computer i have not tried it....but it seems like it would be what u are interest in.....

  • IPOD TOUCH AND HOME STEREO

    All,
    New to the board. I have an Ipod Touch, and wanted to play it through my home stereo which is a Denon, and has the Aux outputs in the front. There is a Video - aux, and 2 slots for audio. I went and bought the cable that indicated for IPOD (Touch) to Home stereo. But when I plugged it into the stereo, no sound came out.
    i made sure the selection was on Aux, but still not sound? Am I missing something? Is there any outputs on the back of the receiver I could use?
    HELP???

    You need to plug it into an input, not an output.

  • ITunes desktop to home stereo

  • Listen to music through home stereo on iPad?

    How do you stream your music to your home stereo thru your iPad similar to iTunes on your Mac desktop? They allude to this being possible at the very end of the guided tour to iPod on the iPad

    I am trying to do the very same thing, glad to hear others are struggling!
    I stream Pandora through my home AV system through my PS3 browser. The problem is, to change the station, I need to turn on the TV, boot up a controller, etc. Instead, I want to connect via iPad Bluetooth to my home AV system and change tunes at will.
    I was able to pair the iPad to PS3 as shown on numerous YouTube videos to pair iPhone to PS3. The problem is that the audio doesn't pass through, even though it is linked. On the iPad Bluetooth settings, it shows paired, but the Device part shows the searching wagon wheel......... and doesn't allow me to pick headphones versus keyboard.
    So, how do I force the iPad to output to the Bluetooth connection? I update PS3 software with no success... Help Techies!
    An alternative would be to purchase a Bluetooth receiver / transceiver and try again, but since it didn't work with PS3, would their be any hope in it working on a dedicated receiver?

  • Music on external drive. Use I Tunes to organize. Stream to TV and home stereo through Mac Book and Apple TV. Updated to Mavericks operating system. Now Many times art does not match song or music stops playing altogether. Any ideas ?

    I have music on external G drive. Use I Tunes to organize and play music. Stream it to my TV and home stereo using MacBook and Apple TV. Just updated operating system to Mavericks. Now have two issues when playing music.  1) Many times album art displayed on TV will not match song playing, and 2) Music will just stop altogether sometimes. Any ideas ?

    Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

  • Ipod through home stereo

    I have connected my iPod to my home stereo as noted, with 3.5 mini jack to RCA to the input, but the sound is very low and poor. I have the volume also listed as noted.
    Is anyone using any special type of cable or am I missing something. I've tried it on two different receivers and still coming up with the same results.

    I used a non iPod cable Mini 3.5 jack on one side and two RCA plugs on the other...
    Jack has three posts, so you should be using a connector with three lines/RCA plugs. However, you only plug in the two audio lines to your amplifier/receiver.
    Do you mean that if I will buy the iPod video cable it does not work to listen music in home stereo ?
    No. I'm saying that if you use a non-Apple cable the line designated as video is actually the right channel audio and the line designated as right channel audio is actually the video output. Apple pulled a little "sneaky" here.

  • Mass storage issues (does not play in car on home stereo) after upgrading to V4.5

    I am having issues with Mass Storage after upgrading my 8130 to V4.5.  I can no longe hook the device to my home stereo or car stereo to play music. My computer does read the device.  It is not my media card.  I still have my old blackberry: the card shows up on both phones and computers.  It is not my cables as they work with my old phone.  I have also done all the obvious things like pull the battery and play with the media card setting
    This guy had the same issue though i never saw resolution:
    Any idea is appreciated! After upgrading the device software to version 4.5 earlier this week (BlackBerry 8800 with v4.5.0.69 (platform 2.7.0.72)) as proposed by T-Mobile and RIM Germany something has changed with the behaviour when connecting via USB as a mass storage device:
    Using a micro-SD card with 2 GB for some months now as a storage for MP3-Files which can be played with my Blue&Me system in my car. This is some kind of Microsoft Windows mobile platform (Automotive) providing playback of MP3-files etc connected via USB. This was never a problem with the previous software. It behaved as it should. Here is an example of what it previously did (taken from http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&thread.id=3...):
    "On your Blackberry device, you may or may not first see a message about insufficient current. It just means you can't charge your Blackberry with that PC USB port. Hit the escape key once (on your Blackberry device). You will be prompted a question : do you want to activate USB Mass Storage Mode. You can answer YES or NO. Answer YES."
    The message about insufficient current is important here because the Blue&Me system does not provide the current as proposed by USB-standards. Anyway after clicking this message/warning away the Blue&Me would recognize the mass storage and start playback.
    After upgrading to v4.5 there is no warning about current any more and the mass storage can't be recognized. I've checked both components: The B&M works fine with any other USB-devices connected, and the BB works fine with Windows after connecting via USB (presumably because there is enough current!). All standard settings in Options/Media card for enabling mass storage have been tested but without success.
    Hopefully someone whose genius far exceeds mine will help me with this.  Thank You.

    I have exactly the same issue with my car stereo equiped with USB and my 8130 device. OS 4.3 works fine (and displays the "insuficcient current" message) and after upgrading to 4.5 mass storage mode not works anymore. And of course it works with regular desktop/notebook computers. I've made many experiments with different storage cards (now I use SDHC 8G from SanDisk). The card works fine if I attach it through card reader in my car, it even see multiple drives which cardreader creates.
    Even more I wrote the small blackberry application in java (i'am professional programmer) and ordered BB keys for $20 to deploy it to device. The program uses the RIM api call Device.requestStorageMode() which in my opinion should turn on storage mode of device. But the result was the same - car audio don't see the mass storage with OS 4.5.
    Interesting fact that in OS 4.3 the message about "insufficient current" appears BUT the device CHARGES via this USB without a problem. The same case with OS 4.5 - charging device is possible.
    Also, I can't switch to OS 4.3 because it have the serious problem with bluethooth connections - it suddenly lost my handsfree link and its very bad if I get incomming call during driving and my handsfree not work.
    Forgot to mention - now I have the OS 4.5.0.127

  • 20G iPOD freezes when connecting to home stereo and other components

    When i connect my iPOD to my home stereo through a docking station the iPOD buttons become disfunctional. it only plays one song and then it "shuts down". Not really shuts down because the iPOD is still on and as soon as i remove it from the docking station, it works fine again. Any ideas?

    "However, most of the cables I find use the headphone output. "
    Yep, thats fine, just get one of those!
