Itunes, airport express playing through a stereo system
Hi,
I am playing my itunes through airport express to my stereo. Anyone have any ideas as to why it is only playing through one speaker on my stereo?
Thanks
Leads into the stereo from the Airport express not in securely.

How can I
Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

After iTunes update, cannot play through Airport Express
I've had this problem a few times.
You've updated iTunes and you can see your remote speaker(s) within the program, but when you attempt to stream to them, you'll get an error saying that there was a probelm connecting to your remote speakers. No amount of resetting or reconfiguring your Airports will fix it. Don't waste your time doing that.
A good check to show that your network \ airport is healthy, is if you have an iPod Touch you can stream right from there to your Airport Express. That will let you know that the problem lies somewhere on your computer.
You are most likely having this problem because of the Windows Firewall. A quick check is to disable your Windows Firewall, then launch iTunes and try to stream. If that works, you've found your problem. Reenable your firewall.
.....But wait. I checked my allowable programs, and iTunes.exe is allowed to pass? What gives? Well, the firewall is trying to make the console simple, and only lists the program as itunes.exe. Apparently, the firewall is looking at much more than just the process ID of itunes.exe. When the rule was set up, it likely also identified the allowable process by noting the time\date stamp or a hash of the file. During your upgrade, the filename stays the same, but the rest changes, and the windows firewall won't allow it to pass.
To fix this, delete the existing rule allowing itunes.exe to pass. Once that's done, you can recreate the rule using your new itunes.exe file. Now that it's allowing your new .exe to pass through the firewall, you can now play to your remote speakers again. Yeah, you don't HAVE to delete the old one, but it's a lot cleaner. If you don't delete the old, you won't know which is the "good" one if you ever have to troubleshoot at a later date.
I hope this helps. It drove me a touch nuts for a bit until I realized what was going on. Now it's part of my routine whenever I update iTunes.Darryl Rehr wrote:
I have configured and re-configured my Airport Express, but I can't get it to receive music from iTunes.
iTunes does recognize presence of Airport Express (named "Stereo Cabinet").
However, when I select "Stereo Cabinet" in the pulldown menu, all I get is reduced volume output through my computer speakers... not through the stereo system hooked up the to the Airport Express.
I've had this problem for months... posted here some time ago, but got no response.
I am running 10.6.2 on an Intel Core duo Macbook laptop. This function used to work just fine, and I can't figure out why it no longer does. I think I had the same trouble under 10.5... but my attempts to figure it out were only sporadic (busy life, you know?).
Can anyone help?

sorry if i ask the obvious but have you enabled airtunes like so ? -
Getting ALL iTunes files to play through stereo
No one can seem to work this one out, not even the folks at our local Genius bar.
I'm running itunes 8.02 on my iMac (OsX) and for some reason the only iTunes files that will play through our stereo are songs. Can't figure out why I can't get everything playing (including files streamed from, say, the browser), or even non-song files from iTunes, like rented movies, for instance, to play. Only songs, period. I'm hooked up to our stereo through Airport Express.
THANKSAirport Express will only stream Audio files from iTunes.
It does not play the Audio from Video Content like Movies, TV Shows, etc, this is because of sync issues that would occur between the video being shown the the computer screen and the sound from Airport Express. It is only designed to stream audio content.
Also the only software that can stream to Airport Express is iTunes, it cannot be used from the Finder or any other Application.
There is an application you can buy called AirFoil that will provide the features you want though.
This is not an Apple product but will allow other content to be streamed to the airport express.

ITunes ONLY plays through internal speakers, system plays through line out
I have my system setup to play through my stereo. I launched iTunes today and it gave me the "accept terms & conditions" as if I had just downloaded a new upgrade (I didn't - have been running 7.4.2 perfectly since Sep 10 2007). I agreed, iTunes starts up ok with library intact. BUT; When I press play, the sound started playing through my skype phone! I plug out the skype phone and it plays through the internal speakers.
I checked sys prefs and it's ticked for line out, and, surely, when I press the volume button it adjusts through the stereo speakers (as does everything else except iTunes now).
I tried playing with the skype phone settings but they were all fine.
Does anyone know what's happening here?
edit: strange - I quit iTunes and it asks me "keep new settings or old settings". I keep old, restart iTunes and it plays through the speakers again. There are no settings in iTunes to change output as far as I can see. I thought I'd leave this post in case anyone else comes across this. odd, but sorted ?sorted itself on restart

Play IPOD through my stereo system
I bought a cheap Phillips chord to plug my ipod through my stereo system. The sound is different from song to song (as in loudness/brightness)and i have to keep adjusting the stereo volume or settings...is this NORMAL or is there somehting i am doing completely wrong......I have a good stereo systema nd would hate to have to buy an ipod sound system to play my ipod in the house when i have a perfectly good stereo system. Could it be the 6.99 phillips chord? am i supposed to change some settings somewhere?? THX again folks for your help.
If I'm not mistaken, choosing that setting in your iTunes prefs doesn't effect iPod playback when it's not hooked up to a computer. If you need to normalize sound levels on your iPod, go to the settings in your iPod menu and turn on Sound Check.

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.
My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station. -
Airport Express Audio Via Home Stereo
Hi,
Ive got my Airport Express to play iTunes through my hifi system (after lots of swearing and stuff), but im really disappointed to see it doesnt seem I can play any other audio - for example if im watching tv online etc/any audio not coming for iTunes.
Does anyone know if and how I can get other audio from my laptop to play through my stereo via airport express?Hello andygunner. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Does anyone know if and how I can get other audio from my laptop to play through my stereo via airport express?
Yes. You will need to use a third-party application, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil, to play audio sources other than iTunes through your AirPort Express. -
Volume issue with new 30G IPOD and Dock while playing through a stereo.
Sorry if this has been discussed before, I recently purchased a 30G Video IPOD and Dock. While playing through my Stereo I notice that 1) I have to turn up the volume on the IPOD to more than 50% and volume on the receiver to over 50% also and 2) the varience in volume of some of the songs varies consideably. I played by IPOD at a friends home through his Dock and stereo and he controlled through the volume control only on his stereo (same Onkyo as mine), it overode the IPOD volume control. His Dock is about a year old, seems strange that when I use my Dock on his stereo it requires the volume use on BOTH the IPOD and the Stereo. So it would appear that his older Dock is more convenient to use than my new Dock? The fluctations in volume of the odd song is still evident on his stereo as it is on mine.Any comments anyone? Thanks in advance. Larry
Make sure Soundcheck on the iPod is enabled.
I recall a few other people have mentioned the volume control on the iPod affected the volume out the back of the Universal dock.
I have the older dock and it is not affected by the Volume control of the iPod. -
I am having problems playing through car stereo using the cassette deck. Only getting audio out of right side. Have tried two Dyantec with same result. Ipod has sound on both sides through ear buds. Cassette deck is playing regular cassettes just fine. Trying to stay away from fm transmitters.
Do you have the option of an 'aux' in your car stereo? If so, you should only have to purchase an auxiliary cable and plug it into your IPod and 'aux' in the car. It will then play through the speakers. You can also do this with your home stereo if it has the 'aux' option.

HV20 - sound won't play through firewire to system speakers during import
help please - When playing back captured HD footage on my HV20 via a firewire connected to my Dual 2.5 G5, the sound plays through the mini speaker in the camera, and not the large system monitor speakers connected to my computer. Once the footage is transfered to the computer, the clips then play back fine and the sound seems ok. But Is there anyway to get the sound to play through the computer system speakers druring import - it's difficult to properly monitor the import as the sound from the mini speaker on the camera is way out of sync with the visual displayed on the computer during the playback/import process - thanks for your help.
WilliamDear SDillini:
Thanks for your reply. I've been editing video on my Mac for some years now with serveral dfifferent cameras attached via firewire and always up until now, on the HV20, been able to monitor the sound from the video tape in the camera through the computers sound system as I was deciding which clips to import and which to leave alone while playing the video in the camera through the firewire to the computer. I'm able to see the video on the computer in real time, but there is no sound except from the small speaker in the camera and it plays out of sync with the image on my computer monitor, making in and out points of capture less precise. -
I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working without any problem.
Recently I bought an Airport Extreme to use it as my Base Unit connecting it to my DSL.
I followed the instructions of the Airport Utility, and it started working.
Suddenly, problems started happen the Airport express that was connected to the stereo , stopped working and it disappeared from the Airport Utility area , as it did not exist in the network. I tried to reset it but it did not appear in the Airport Utility page.
Apparently I have other problems with the private network that it created because I cannot use it because of problems with the password that was created. I can only use the network that I created for my guest...
I dont know if my problem is a configuration problem or there is problem with the equipment.
I read that other users where having the same problem with the Airport express , using non apple equipment as their base unit , but I thought that using the Airport Extreme was going to be compatible and no problems would happen.
What should I do?Common Problem. Common solution.
Connect your Express via ethernet cable to the Mac while other network connections on the Mac are switched OFF.
After the Express shows up, change the settings of the Express to join the existing network. Take the appr. settings.
Unplug and reconnect your Mac to the network.
Check if the Express shows up in Airport Utility
Alternative solution:
Hardreset the Express to factory settings
(while on power push the Pin next to the audio plug with a paperclip. Plug out the Express still holding down the little button then replug the Express to power and release button)
After that, the Express will show up in the Airport Utility.
Make all needed settings.
I would prefer the first solution, its easier just to plug a cat5 cable. -
can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV. -
ITunes won't play through Airport Express
I have my stereo connected to the Airport Express via optical cable. I can Airplay from my iPhone to the AE, but for some reason iTunes running on my MBP won't Airplay to the AE. The AE is listed as a remote speaker option, but when i select it, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks!. Short answer: No.
. Long answer: I've been going back and forth with Dan Hill ([email protected]) and his best suggestion so far (port fowarding the known itunes ports to the server's static IP Port Forwarding iTunes on the Ubee U10C022-Ambit - PortForward.com) of course didn't work because the streaming and handshaking for connecting to the remotes doesn't go out or in through the router. I'm not playing this over the WAN just a subset of my LAN.
. Since this all worked behind the AT&T Uverse Router 3800HGV-B but stopped behind the Ubee DDW3611, that's the presumed culprit.
. When time permits, my next two tests are to rearrange the network so the AP Extreme is DHCP host and firewall and the DDW3611 is only a bridge, and then to crash the mini back to 10.6 if all else fails, since the other two computers work fine.
. I also talked with Emilio at the LaCantera Apple Genius Bar. Couldn't set up a similar problem there (they have a trunk line to AT&T) and no new hints.
. Problem is beyond the control I have in the Time Warner Cable (TWC) bridge and Lion has also removed many controls.

Hello, I have Airport Express installed on my PC which runs XP. When I play my library through iTunes after about 2 hours Airport quits and I have to log out and restart my computer - very frustrating. Don't know if it is overheating but if anyone can make any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
MurrayMaybe Mail's message index is corrupt. The following procedure is safe to try. Its only deleterious effect is that windows you left open in Mail at step 1 won't reopen automatically in step 4.
1. Quit Mail.
2. Browse to ~/Library/Mail.
3. Move "Envelope Index" to your desktop.
4. Launch Mail.
Mail will rebuild its index before it opens any windows. It may take a few minutes to rebuild. Be patient!
The new index is likely to be a different size than the old one, usually smaller.
Only the Message Viewer window will open--not any other windows you may have left open when Mail quit.
Be sure your mail folders are there and have their messages. They always are there, but the prudent check anyway.
Be sure you can send and receive mail. This always works, too.
After you have done the above, trash the old Envelope Index that you saved on your desktop. It is never better than the new one, and as time goes on, it becomes more and more out of synch with your mail folders, so you won't want to put it back in Library.
If Mail doesn't crash for a week or two, you probably fixed the problem. If not, you at least freed up some disk space.
Let us all know whether and how you solved your problem.
