IPod Touch stream to AirPort Express

It seems like a natural that the iPod touch could stream music wirelessly to Airport Express where it could be played by stereo system. It could also stream to iTV. Are these features going to be present in future software upgrade?

Although not exactly what you are looking for, [Remote Buddy|http://www.iospirit.com/index.php?mode=view&objtype=infogroup&obj_id=24&sid=5970550G740d82cde5ea8f43&o_infogroupobjcode=infogroup-23] offers a pretty cool interface for controlling itunes streaming to an airport express, from your ipod or iphone. I would think battery life would have to at least be a concern, streaming directly from the ipod. Would be fine for a few songs maybe, how long is the average youtube video, and how does it affect runtime?

  • Will ipod touch work with airport express?

    will ipod touch work with airport express?

    Is your Touch running iOS 5.n? If so, you can administer the AX with the AirPort Utility which you can download directly from the Apple App Store.

  • Ipod Touch cant find airport express

    ive got my airport express plugged into my college dorm's ethernet port and it set up for bridge mode, as a closed network with wpa2 security. my ipod touch can never find the network to connect to and my laptop can find it and connect to it, but alwas forgets it when the cmputer sleeps and i then have to reconect to the network

    I know you have an iPod touch, but all this does is let you access it via Safari, so it should work fine.
    I hope so!

  • May I have my ipod touch in the universal doc and stream to an airport in the same moment? Can I stream from my Ipod touch to two airports simultanouesly?

    may I have my ipod touch in the universal doc and stream to an airport in the same moment? Can I stream from my Ipod touch to two airports simultanouesly?

    Thank you edex76 for your answers!
    Maybe I haven't been precise enough in the first question: When the ipod touch is in the universal doc and plays music, is it htan possible possible to stream music to an APE and hear music that comes from universal doc by chinch cable?
    And on the scond: Do you think one could name the two APE in the very same way? Maybe that would help to stream to two APE in the very same moment ..?
    Cheers!

  • IPod Touch Connecting Through Airport with Access Control

    Assistance requested.
    I want to connect my iPod Touch to my Airport wireless network. I have access controlled to my wireless network so that only devices with an Airport ID specified in the Airport configuration may connect to my wireless network.
    Does the iPod Touch have an Airport ID that I can enter into my Airport configuration? I realy do not want to make my wireless network open to anyone.
    Thank you,
    Doug

    Sorry,
    Thank you for the contribution. I found my own answer with some searching on the iPod. This was my solution in case somebody else is having a similar problem.
    Required address (Airport ID) of the iPod was found as follows:
    Settings
    General
    About
    Wi-Fi Address
    Added the Wi-Fi Address to my Airport Access Control List.
    On the iPod performed the following:
    Settings
    Wi-Fi
    Choose Another Network
    Typed in the wireless network name (case-sensitive)
    Selected the proper security protocall
    Typed in the password to access my Airport Network
    Click Join
    Problems connecting were resolved and my network remained closed to people not pre-approved to access it.

  • Battery life on iPod touch 4G with Airplay streaming to Airport Express?

    Any word on the battery life of the newest iPod touch 4G when using Airplay to stream music to an Airport express/ hi-fi speaker set up?
    I think i have the above configuration correct? I already have an Airport express linked to a MBP/ iTunes, but it'd be easier to use an iPod Touch/Airplay to stream my iTunes lib in the same way.
    But maybe not such a good idea if battery life on the touch will be zapped!!!

    I haven't done exhaustive tests, but I've been streaming to an Airport Express and it seems like I ought to get 10 hours or so. I think the most I've done at once is 3 or 4 hours and the battery doesn't seem to drain more than a third to a half. For what it's worth, I've been streaming for an hour so far tonight and the battery icon hasn't moved off full.
    Far more important I've found is to make sure the screen is locked. Tha backlight on the screen really chews thru the battery.

  • Can an iPod Touch Stream Live Audio via Wifi through airplay?

    I would like to stream the audio from a PA system running in one building to another building on the same site. The distance is too far for a wireless speaker system, as well as for a strictly Airport based network. What I am wondering is if it would be possible to use an Ipod Touch to input audio from the PA and use airplay to output the audio via an Airport Express in the other building?

    What I am wondering is if it would be possible to use an Ipod Touch to input audio from the PA and use airplay to output the audio via an Airport Express in the other building?
    Sorry, but no. The basic issue would be how to get the PA audio "into" the iPod Touch.

  • Streaming to Airport Express

    Hello,
    If this is the wrong place, please accept my apologies. I have this question:
    Is it possible at all to stream the sound of movies to my Airport Express connected to my hifi system ?
    I can stream my music but can't figure out how to do this with movies.
    Thanks

  • IMac (on Ethernet) Can No Longer Stream to Airport Express (on WiFi)

    After years of reliable service, all of a sudden I cannot stream music from iTunes on my iMac, via my Airport Express, to my stereo system.
    First, a bit about my configuration:
       * iMac connected via Ethernet to a wireless router (D-Link DIR-655).
       * iMac Airport (WiFi) is turned off.
       * D-Link sets up a wireless network, and Airport Express joins the network.
       * Airport Express does not set up its own network, it's simply a client of the existing D-Link wireless network.
       * iTunes "sees" the Airport Express, and can stream audio via AirPlay.
       * iPad also joins the wireless network, and also can stream to the Airport Express via AirPlay.
       * iMac running 10.6.8, with all software updates applied.
       * Airport Express running latest firmware (7.6.1).
    Well, that was a few days ago, when "it just worked". But for some unknown reason iTunes could no longer "see" the Airport Express.
    So I took my Airport Express to the Apple Store and they did a Factory Reset, but it did not solve the problem. I figured my rather old Airport Express was failing, so today I bought a new one. The symptoms have changed a bit, but even after spending an hour on the phone with AppleCare, it doesn't work properly.
    Now, the only way the iMac can stream to the Airport Express is if the iMac also joins the wireless network. In fact, now with Airport turned OFF on the iMac, the Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Express. But here's another weird thing: when I use the IP address of the Airport Express, the Airport Utility CAN connect with and manage the Airport Express, even with Airport turned OFF on the iMac!
    I should also mention, the iPad has no issues whatsoever connecting to the D-Link's wireless network and streaming music to the Airport Express.
    This all seems like something might have changed on the D-Link wireless router. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what setting(s) on the router might allow the iMac - over Ethernet - to stream audio to the Airport Express.
    Another thing. When I have Airport turned on on the iMac, it can "see" and stream to the Airport Express, but the music has very frequent drop-outs. Could this be related to the fact that the iMac has two IP addresses (one on Ethernet, one on WiFi)?
    My goal is to get things "back to normal", where I can turn off Airport on the iMac, and all LAN and WAN traffic from the iMac goes over Ethernet. I have a few questions (for now :-)
       * Since my iMac has two connections to my LAN using two IP addresses (Ethernet & WiFi), is that likely to cause any issues?
       * When two computers join the same wireless LAN, can they effectively talk directly to one another, or does the wireless router need to be involved every time one computer sends a TCP or UDP packet to the other?
       * Do routers (or the DIR-655 in particular) tend to have any firewalls or policies that control connections on the LAN between Ethernet and WiFi clients?
       * Since AirPlay uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353, would the DIR-655 need any special configuration to "open these ports" so an Ethernet client can connect with a WiFi client?
    So, any help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Jim

    I am having a very similar issue.  I use my Airport Express (AX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay.  I have AX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem.  I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my AX, including two laptops and an iPhone.  However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my AX.  Similar to your case, I can see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address.  Note that the  AX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked.  I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting AX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards.  They will resume detecting AX when I turn their wireless connections back on.  I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router to no avail. 

  • Apple TV and Streaming to Airport Express

    Hi I am new to all this and had a question about apple tv before I go ahead and purchase.
    I would like to sync all my music from my itunes account on my PC to the apple TV.
    What I would then like to do is be able to turn off my PC and still be able to stream music from the apple tv to other stereos around the house via airport express units whilst being able to control these units by the app on my iphone... is this possible or does my PC still need to be switched on? I have asked in the apple shop and no one seems to fully know!
    Also can more than one iphone (mine and myt wife's for example) be able to remotely control music around the house from 2 different iphones? or will only one work at a time?
    Sorry if this sounds stupid but really need the answers before I spend money on the kit.
    Thanks

    Would you recommend this set up
    i would. i've got one of the original 40 GB units and it is probably the most-used gadget in my arsenal.
    other users here will probably try to sell the new mini to you (due to it has an HDMI interface and whatnot) but IMHO nothing beats the ATV for ease-of-use.
    Is there a new Apple TV coming out soon or should I just go ahead and get involved!?
    there's rumor out there that a new model is in the pipe. however, nobody here would know when it is due and what features a new model will pack.
    if you have the budget, go for it

  • Connecting the iPod Hi-Fi to Airport Express

    OK, a little help would be great here. I purchased the iPod Hi-Fi about 6 months ago and incorrectly assumed that the cabling would be included in order to connect to an Airport Express. For me, that's the whole reason to buy a Hi-Fi vs. another speaker set-up.
    After reviewing the discussion boards, it was widely reviewed that the Toslink XtremeHD works great although it's really intended more for the AppleTV. Well, I live in Costa Rica where tech products aren't widely available. After 6 months of waiting, finally my wife went to the states and brought me back the above cable. It doesn't seem to work. Included is one adapter that makes the Toslink jack a 3.5mm optical digital audio jack. I guess though that I need (2) of these instead of one? The Toslink cable doesn't seem to fit either the Airport Express OR the iPod Hi-Fi without this type of adapter.
    Any advice would be great, I'm floored that now I'll likely have to wait a long time to be able to finally connect this thing. Even advice for a different cable that actually WORKS would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance.

    You either need to buy another Toslink adapter online or just buy a normal male/male miniplug cable. What is the bit rate on your music? If it isn't really high then the optical cable is just going to be overkill.
    Don't know why you would expect a cable for the AEX, why would someone who doesn't have one want to pay for what would be a superfluous cable?

  • Outputing Raw Stream via airport express

    What is the output of the airport express optical port? Is a raw stream of the original audio file?  thx

    For the AirPort Express (AX), audio input is primarily provided by iTunes. Of course, it can also get input from other sources like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
    iTunes does most of the work. When iTunes plays back standard audio content (AAC, MP3, audiobooks, Internet music streams, etc., it decompresses those file formats and creates what's essentially a raw, uncompressed audio stream. That stream is compressed using Apple's Lossless Compression (via a QuickTime codec), encrypted, and then, streamed (via AirTunes/AirPlay) to the AX. The AX decrypts the stream, decodes it, and outputs it in either analog format or as a digital PCM stream.
    If iTunes is playing back a digital multichannel file format like AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS, those bitstreams (like the lossy formats) are wrapped in Apple's Lossless compression, encrypted, and then, streamed to the AX. In these cases, the AX would first decode the stream, and then, output the raw AC3 or DTS stream via its optical digital audio port.

  • Coding audio streams to Airport Express?

    Not even sure where to post this question, so my apologies if this is too far off topic.
    I'm very curious about the audio coding that happens when streaming music from iTunes to an Airport Express, or, a 2nd gen AppleTV? Is there any additional code-decode going on when streaming? Playing a 44.1 kHz .wav file, uncompressed, and capture that waveform at the electrical out of Airport Express... will it be identical to the original .wav file (ignoring some minor D/A artifacts)??
    Many thanks in advance.

    Can you reference a link or 2 where I can read a bit further?
    I'll see what I can find as Apple has provided very few details on this. The links I had to some material I had reviewed earlier, unfortunately, are no longer valid.
    For example, what happens with an uncompressed .wav file that is an 11kHz sample rate? Does the AX have a D/A that supports all of the supported sample rates? Or, is that part of the compression "on the fly" into Apple Lossless that everything is coded / converted into a single sample rate (44.1 kHz??).
    Great question!
    The AX works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIFF or WAV files at the high end. To more directly answer your questions, the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play, for example: 11kHz, 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX. As you figured this is a limitation of the QuickTime Codec that is the heart of iTunes.
    One operational glitch, that primarily affects the analog side, is the fact that the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit. When the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Provided you can live with its limitations the combination of iTunes and an AX provides an easy way to pipe CD-quality music around your home.
    FYI. For the 802.11b/g version of the AX, the analog audio is handled by a Texas Instruments PCM2705 digital-to-analog converter. I don't know if they used the same DAC for the newer 802.11n model. Some audiophiles use an external DAC in an attempt to overcome any of the AX's shortcomings.

  • Ipod touch streaming issue

    the streaming on my ipod touch is really slow. every time i try to watch something on youtube or any other streaming sites, it keeps buffering. i leave it for about 5 minutes but it plays for about 30 seconds and then stops again. can anyone help me?

    Reset it (hold 10 seconds the home and off button, untill apple logo apears)
    You could also restore it.
    In last case, restore it to default settings.
    If the problem persists, take it to an Apple Store, or to the place where you bought it (how long do you have that iPod?)

  • Apple TV sync disrupts AirTunes streaming to airport express

    Whenever my Apple TV is syncing with iTunes it disrupts my AirTunes stream to my airport express - the audio just stops playing.
    Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps slow down the Apple TV sync so it doesn't suck up all the bandwidth so my airtunes stream keeps playing? Not sure if that's really the problem though.
    Thanks for the help.

    Yes, they ditched this useful feature with AppleTV2.
