Is it possible to only stream music to a iOS device (iPad, iPhone) without it being downloaded?

I Want to only stream my music to my devices as I don't want it downloaded and taking up space.

Not possible. Music played is automatically downloaded to a temporary cache.

    I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 running Windows Vista.  Itunes is up to date.  I have power cycled the router several times   it is a Surfboard sbg6580.  still no luck with seeing the airplay symbol on itunes, but Isee it on my phone and can stream music via the airport with my phone.  I can see both airports on the airport utility on my laptop.  I'm stumped...

  • I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

    A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
    I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

  • HT201343 Is there a way to stream video from one iOS device to another?

    My family and I are going on an extended vacation and we want to make sure the kids have enough videos to keep them busy on very long flights. I'm taking my MacBook Pro and was wondering if there's a way to stream video our different iOS devices without preloading movies on every device.

    If the MBP was connected to inflight WiFi like Gogo it might be possible. Then you use the MBP as a hotspot using internet sharing. The iOS devices connect to the MBP.  I'm not sure if Its allowed in flight but give it a try.

  • I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

    I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally.  I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

    Firstly...  a little Clarity...
    Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. ..   Not Computers.
    Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
    If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...

  • Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

    Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

    There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

  • HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

    Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
    Documents say
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
    But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
    And my  Ipad  (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc)  shows  a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
    Both are in the same network,
      Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
    . iTunes is open on the computer
    what can i Do ???

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • How can I configure AX to only stream music?

    My set-up: G4 tower running OS X 10.4.11 with an early AirPort card installed (probably 801.11b) and a used AirPort Express (AX) 801.11g. For my internet and printer network I have an ethernet D-Link router whose 4 ports are all in use. I intend to keep that network for my DSL and printer. All I got the AX for was to stream music to my stereo from my Mac.
    Problem: I've been unable to get my Mac to "see" AX as a wireless device. I have it plugged into a power-strip across the room near the stereo with an audio cord to my stereo plugged into it.
    Under another topic on this forum it was suggested that I configure the AX by directly connecting to it with an ethernet chord from it to my Mac. I did this, but much of the configuring process seemed to be for setting it up as an Internet router, which I don't want it to be. And anyway, after I configured it and unplugged it from the ethernet and plugged it in across the room again, the Mac still couldn't see it.
    It was also suggested that I set it up as a bridge on the existing D-Link network by connecting the AX to the router via ethernet, but this won't work because 1) all the D-Link ports are already in use, and 2) the D-Link is across the room from the AX near my computer and I don't need one more big honking cable strung across the room.
    All I want to do is make the streaming music set-up shown in the diagram on page 18 of the AirPort Express Setup Guide 5.1 work as shown. That's all. I'm on my second day of pounding away on this (it has used up probably a good 6 hours of my time already).
    Any help would be appreciated, especially from anyone who has run into precisely this same problem and successfully solved it. If you need more details from me, I'll provide them as I can.

    I think that it is beginning to dawn on me that I've been thinking of the whole Airport Express model in the wrong way. I had it in my mind that you plugged in Airport Express, ran an audio cable between it and your stereo, and via the Airport card in your Mac you could transmit music from iTunes to your stereo as if Airport Express were some kind of in-between receiver/transmitter.
    But, I'm now thinking that that is not the right paradigm. What one really has with Airport Express is a wireless network router which has the incidental capacity to receive music from iTunes and pass it along to your stereo.
    In other words, in configuring Airport Express, what I am really doing is creating a wireless network. If you already have a wireless network in place, then the Airport Express just acts as an extension of that, and the music can be transmitted via the network from one of the computers on it to the stereo wired into the Airport Express.
    Or, if you don't have a wireless network in place, you can create one in configuring the Airport Express.
    BUT, if you have an ethernet network in place (as do I) then you run into the knotty issue that in configuring Airport Express you are creating an additional network. So, even if I get my Mac to "see" the Airport Express network (which remains hypothetical after 2 days), it seems probable that I'll have to 'turn off' my ethernet network when I want to pipe music through the AE network, because it seems unlikely that I can run an ethernet AND a wireless network both at the same time.
    This could be solved, from what I am beginning to comprehend, by hard wiring the AE via an ethernet cable into my D-Link router, except that 1) my D-Link's ports are all already full, and 2) my D-Link is near my Mac and the stereo is across the room and the cable between the stereo and the AE is only 6 feet long. And if I were to string an ethernet cable all the way to the AE, I might as well just run a stereo cable all the way across the room between the Mac and stereo and skip the Airport Express altogether.
    I could possibly solve all this by ditching the D-Link ethernet network altogether and going all wireless, but I have little faith that the single Airport Express would have sufficient range to reach my wife's PC laptop in the living room. I suppose, if I were really brave, I might test this out by trying to swap our working ethernet DSL and printer network over to wireless on the AE and see if her laptop could pick up the Airport Express from my study, but I suspect it might not AND we would still have the 'across the room' issue, as I would have to run an ethernet DSL cable from the DSL modem near my computer to the AE near the stereo.
    So I think this is one of those "can't get there from here" situations. I did notice that the latest (early 2008) version of the Airport Express Setup Guide has eliminated the diagram showing a Mac transmitting to AE with audio cable to stereo. Perhaps Apple realized that touting AE as a connection for a printer or for music alone was misleading as it would conflict with another network already in place, unless one made the AE a bridge from that network.
    If someone can debunk these hard-won conclusions and show me a way to keep my ethernet network intact while simultaneously running an AE network to just my stereo, you are welcome to.

  • How do you setup an Airport Express to only stream music???

    +I have a Time Capsule setup as my base for the internet access, followed by an airport express for wireless usb devices and for my stereo. I have a second airport express to which I want to setup for streaming music only. When I leave my home and go to friends etc i which to stream music via this second airport express.+
    When I setup this device I get "problem connecting to the internet" I have marked that I do not which to connect to the Internet and the following message comes "make sure your ethernet cable is connected" blah blah blah. All I need is a portable music streaming "Airport Express" device, no connecting to another network, no internet access ect. Please can someone help?????? Am I just chancing my tail???
    Thanks in advance.

    So you want to set the AirPort Express (AX) up at a location with no wireless network and no Ethernet network?
    Just configure the AX to create a wireless network and ignore the messages about not being connected to the internet... because you aren't. Have your computer join the wireless network created by the AX. Start iTunes and stream music.

  • Streaming Music from iTunes to my iPad

    I have approximately 40,000 songs on my Windows machine in iTunes.  I can control those songs via my iPad by using the Remote app.  However, I would like to be able to stream the songs to my iPad for sound output (both locally and remotely, if possible).  iTunes Match is not an option for me because of the size of my library.  Is there some way I can have the functionality the Remote App offers with the ability to put the sound through the iPad instead of my desktop computer?  That would allow me to take it to other parts of my home and, ideally, away from my home via an internet connections.
    If this cannot be achieved, will any other apps help me?  Essentially, I have iTunes with 40,000 songs sitting on a desktop computer in my office.  I'm hoping to free this music so I can access my library in other places.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Chris

    HomeSharing will allow for streaming of media from the iTunes library to an iOS device or other computer running iTunes on the same network.
    There is no Apple solution to streaming when not on the same Wi-Fi network.

  • I have an old 4GB Ipod nano and an I-Phone 4S. I only want music to sync to my I-Pod without all the apps from the phone. Can someone tell me how to do this please?

    I'm updating the music in my I-Tunes. I have an old 4GB Nano but I also have an I-Phone 4S. I only want music and nothin else on my I-Pod, how can I get it to sync without all the apps as, obviously the I-pod doesn't have enough memory?

    "Other" is data that the iPod doesn't know how to deal with (but on your nano, it isn't Apps). All iPods have some quantity of "Other" on them. Sometimes Other is corrupt files that cannot be read.
    The usual remedy when the quantity of Other becomes too big, is to Restore the iPod. However, 0.26GB of Other doesn't appear to be very much and I suspect you won't see much change, if any, if you Restore.

  • Is it possible to transfer my music and photos from my Ipad to my Mac?

    My Mac has recently been stolen and all my music and my photos are in my Ipad but as you know I cannot sinc my Ipad with my new Mac. Is there any way I can save all those files and transfer them to my new computer? Do iCloud or iTunes Match can help my?
    tnks
    Jorge

    You'll be able to save your photos, because there is no DRM issues with it.  As for your music, you're history. You cannot authorize iTunes Match from an iOS device, only from a Mac through iTunes.  However, whatever music you purchased from iTunes (going back many years, I found out) can be re-downloaded.  Anything you ripped is gone.
    If I might stick my nose into your business, I would strongly suggest you set up Time Machine with your new Mac, and have a back up of everything, including your media.  You don't want to lose those photos.
