Upgraded to version 5.0 (4099) but have lost internet radio

I have recently upgraded my Apple TV software as homesharing was not working. Now that I have done the update, I seem to have lost Internet Radio . Home sharing now works though!

I actually solved this problem by looking at another post. I changed the location to the US in the settings menu and the ATV updated itself showing the new menu layout as well as Internet Radio which is now working. I have no idea why changing the location works but it did the trick.

What is the process for connecting ethernet. Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left. Note Airport wireless is working.

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!

The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

How can I play my ipod classic 30G thru my older home stereo? Radio Shack guy sold me a head phone adapter to use in the head phone socket on the stereo with the other end attaching to the ipod. It doesn't do anything. Are there settings I need to make on

How can I play my ipod classic 30 G thru my home stereo system? The guy at Radio Shack sold me an adapter for the older, larger headphone adapter on my stereo receiver with an ipod attachment on the other end. It doesn't work. Do I need to make special settings on the ipod? Should it work? I read elsewhere that I need a Y connector. Thanks for any help.

The headphone jak on your stereo is an output, not an input. You cannot route music into your stereo throughthe headphone jack.
You can get a cable that connect from the headphone output of the ipod to the stereo inputs on your stereo:

Playing internet radio through airport to my stereo?

I play itunes through airport to my stereo. Can I play my internet radio station through airport?
Thanks,
Ernie

I'm curious about this as I am sure I was able to play a radio station streaming through iTunes to my AX the other day. I tried this evening and it didn't work. I was able to play a song ripped by iTunes, and switched back to the streaming radio which did play through my computer speakers, but not to the AX.
I know AX won't play video clips (sound) from iTunes....
So, I think I figured it out- AirTunes will play MPEG based streaming audio through the AX, but will not play streams with "Kind" being QuickTime. Unfortunate that my two favorite stations are both QT streamed audio, and these were the two I kept trying to get to work when I thought the problem was the AX or the stereo it was plugged into.
This also explains why I was getting audio through my computer even when it was not selected in iTunes, it only happens when the QT audio can't play through the AirTunes.
Any further thoughts or work arounds for this?
Funny, I found nothing about this in my searches regarding this problem (other than video clip's audio won't play and require Airfoil).

Connections to Home radio and Car Stereo

Do they have an accesory that would let me listen to my ipod through my car stereo when im driving and my home stereo when i'm at home?...An all in one deal?

Not sure if I understand what you meant, but my iPhone does detect my home wifi. I re-input the password, but it still doesn't connect. I verified the account and password with Comcast, my internet provider, and they confirmed the info is correct.

Can i play internet radio through my airport to my stereo?

Can i play internet radio through my airport to my stereo? ps I am not very technical so easy answers would be appreciated.
Thanks

For the block party we just had I was doing just that. I already had a wireless network in my house so what I did was connected an Airport Express to my wireless network in my garage. The Airport Express has an audio jack on it. To this jack, I connected my amp and speakers down in the garage. I was then able to connect iTunes to the speakers over the wireless network.
One additional benefit was that using the Remote app on my iPhone I was able to control my iTunes remotely from the garage to change music from downstairs.
It all worked like a charm.

N78 Bugs (Ringer volume, Internet radio)

=== Ringer volume ===
1. activate profile with high (100%) ringer volume
2. run music player and listen on 30-50% volume using headphones
3. Incoming sms/call ring will make you deaf :manmad:
=== Internet radio ===
sometimes wi-fi icon on main standby screen doesn't appear when Internet radio plays the music via wi-fi
=== Music Player ===
I am really tired of often freezes of Music Player
Does nokia has quality assurance guys???
Firmware: 20.149.051.1
Nokia n78, n79

Hi there, thankyou for your report on the bugs, here is my response (I too have updated to the latest v20.149 firmware):
1. this streaming internet radio feature has been removed since firmware 12.046 and has not appeared since. i believe, along with many other users here, that this is due to copyright issues, so by deactivating streaming of internet radio they are complying with appropriate copyright controls. it would be nice to stream internet radio through the FM transmitter but this probably will not come back
2. I found the same thing, i really do wish that it would stream all sounds from the phone, especially from the Maps application because the speaker is tinny. so maybe they can do something about this in subsequent firmware updates.
3. I find that the FM transmission power is variable, and not has increased/decreased with firmware updates. this is due to many factors, for example, it is summer here in Australia, and i have found that on really hot & hot and humid days that the FM transmitter struggles to send an adequate signal. hgowever, on cooler days the signal is strong and works well. I have tried this on both my car and standalone stereo in my home.
I hope these help you shed a bit more light on the issues, but I am as always holding out for the v30 firmware very soon

How do I synch my iPhone 4S to a Samsung WEP475 bluetooth headset in order to lister to internet radio i/o phone?

how do I synch my iPhone 4S to a Samsung WEP475 bluetooth headset in order to lister to internet radio instead of the phone? This would allow me to listen to internet radio via my headset rather than using an ear bud.
Thanks

After reading this thread http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1311311
it seems that for some reason Apple does not allow the iphone to output phone calls through the dock connector. It can output through the headphone jack, internal speaker, or bluetooth but not through the dock connector. This is very inconvenient since it means you need to use a second cable or buy a bluetooth system unnecessarily. I can see why some people would not want phone calls to go out through the dock connector (on a home theater system or something) but it should at least be an option!
I love that my car stereo can control the music playback on the iphone (something it couldn't do if I used the AUX input) but I can't understand why the iphone would be purposely gimped so as not to be able to output calls as well. And since this missing functionality is not widely known, most people won't discover the problem until it is too late and they already purchased their iphone and stereo.

I Get an Error "To Access Your iTunes Library ..." And Other Things Are Wonky Too ... Can't Reset ... Internet Radio Drops ... But Things Look To Be Set Up Okay

When I use my Apple TV and try to play music from my computer I get an error: "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using 'myname'"
On my computer n iTunes Preferences / Sharing I have the "Share my library on my local network" checked with "Share entire library" -- no password, no update play counts. I've turned it off and on again.
The Apple TV settings show we are "talking to" my WIFI -- it has my network, shows a good signal strenght, all sorts of internet addresses and IP stuff I don't understand ...
The "Internet" tab works with some of those things I'd never use -- like I see the current NHL standings.
My TV works and I get an ATV signal and those little chimes / bongs when I hit things in the menu. And when it works I get audio so the cables and TV are okay.
In the past I had trouble with the settings for my favourite Internet Radio stations (the provider changed their URL but Apple didn't update the presets for a while) but those are now resolved.
I had a crappy old G class router and week signal strenght but I have a new N class Cisco router with a strong signal.
But other things are wonky:
* I play interent radio and my station will go fine for about five minutes then stop -- the little wheel spins trying to reconnect. Sometimes it resets but more often than not it won't. I just tried again four hours later and the same thing.
* I've unplugged the ATV and plugged it back in but no noticable improvement
* I tried to do the factory reset from the ATV menu. It says it will download the latest bla bla bla and after a few minutes tells me "Apple TV can't download latest update right now, try again later" -- I've tried three times today always with the same results.
* I unhooked it from the power and HDMI and plugged it into a Micro USB cable and plugged that into my Mac -- it doesn't show up in the devices in iTunes.
* I have a bunch of photos in a folder that I use for my ATV Screen Saver. A few weeks ago I added two photos to that folder -- they don't show up in the ATV screen show but the others still do.
* When I started today I checked my iTunes and the airplay icon didn't show in the bottom right (beside the genious icon and the little thing to show or hide the sidebar). Now I noticed the Airplay icon is there. When I try to switch from playing through my computer speaakers to my Apple TV I get an error "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the Airplay device "Apple TV"" -- the ATV shows that Airplay is on.
* I see from the ATV settings that I'm running ATV Software 4.4.3 (3323) and when I do a "Update Software" on the ATV it tells me that my software is current.
* My iTunes is 10.5.2 (11) and my OS is 10.6.8 -- both are up to date.
Yikes and double yikes!
Any ideas?

Hey Chunk,
I love the idea of the ATV more than I have loved the little black box but ... famous last words ... my ATV seems to be working better these days.
A big challenge for me was too many variables at play -- new router, new ATV OS / firmware / whatever, changing internet radio presets, a less than perfect physical set up ... and a short attention span from yours truly.
Here's what I did. Somwhere in these changes things got "fixed."
* I unhooked the ATV and did a factory restore by hard wiring the ATV to my computer with a micro USB cable (no external power needed) working through iTunes (I run iTunes 10.5.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8).
* after the reset I now have ATV (is that an operating system or a firmware?) 4.4.4
* then I plugged it back into my home theatre and it didn't work :-) but in slightly different ways. The settings showed that I was connected to my home network but I couln't get connected using my Apple ID and no internet radio. (it is often counterintuitive -- like why when I want my ATV to talk to my iMac over my local network am I logging in to the iTnes Store with my Apple ID? but there you go.)
* I booked with the genius bar at the Apple Store and put my ATV in my pocket. They pulled out a TV, HDMI cable, ATV power source and even the remote -- all I provided was my little black ATV. We hooked the ATV to their TV and from the Apple Store (using thier WIFI) I logged in using my Apple ID and the thing worked fine.
* so now I knew that my ATV was up to date and it worked in the Apple Store using their network so it looked like the issue was my network.
* rebooted my router and noticed that when I had upgraded to the new super dooper Cisco n router we had plugged my iMac direct to the router via ethernet cable. I unhooked the ethernet and now just run my computer WIFI using AirPort.
And ...
It works. I use my ATV exclusivly for music -- my iTunes and internet radio and AirPlay -- and now both work fine. The ATV does pick up photos from my iPhoto for the screen saver and all that other stuff -- netflix, youtube, the hockey scores, ... all seem to be there. And my son played a video off his iPod Touch using AirPlay.
I know my approach is more scattered than a proper scientific try but ...
From my experience ... reset the ATV and get it up to date; see if it will work on someone else's network; check your network set up.
Good luck!

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

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.
