ITunes and Wireless Home Stereo

Am I correct in my thinking ....
With an Airport Express I can have wireless 'sound' with any speaker set that has a mini jack?
or get ...
A set of speakers that have their own onboard wireless receiver.
Just trying to get my head around how all this works. Thank you.

A point of clarity please ... '+powered speakers or a stereo+' (?) ... so in the second case the stereo receiver would be the front end 'powering' the speakers; in the first case 'powered speakers' would refer to speakers that obtained their own power from the household supply?
Correct. Yu could use battery powered speakers.
The Airport Express is not an amplifier. It puts out line level only.
Airport Express 3.5mm jack would need a 'splitter' - one side to each speaker?
No. It's a stereo connector. Get a 3.5mm stereo to a 3.5mm stereo cable or 3.5mm stereo to 2 phono plugs.

ITunes desktop to home stereo

Is there any way to play iTunes through my home stereo from across the room? In other words, is there a downloadable program or a way to use my iTurnes desktop like the Griffin FM transmitter device I use for my Nano so I'm making a wireless connection from my laptop to my home stereo?

Something like this?

Itunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of itunes window

Help! My Internet service was interupted last week and when it returned my iTunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of the iTunes window. I finally figured out how to get both of my wireless devices to show up on the left hand column under devices, but nothing else shows up now in the upper right corner! I cannot for the life of me figure this one out and the tech manual is not helping at all. Help!

If you have the left-hand sidebar showing then that is where the store and your devices will show can be selected - if you press option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S on a PC, then the sidebar should be hidden and the store and device should go back to the top right. Is that what you mean ?

Streaming iTunes music to home stereo

Hi! I'm trying to stream my iTunes music to my home stereo receiver; doesn't have to be wireless, wired is fine. Here's the catch: I'm using NAS and two notebook computers...the iTunes music doesn't live on either notebook, only on the NAS drive. I want to be able to access the music without having to turn on a computer.
Is there a device that I can attach to my stereo receiver and the network that will let me access the music files from the NAS drive? Having a heckuva time with this, any input is most appreciated!

Sorry, I missed the bit about wanting to not use a computer.

You still need a server running but you don't use the computer to access it.

Wireless home stereo system

Hi,
I'd like to use a MacMini as a home stereo system using wireless speakers. We have a nice sony system but no where to set it up in our new home and I'd rather get rid of all the wire and keep it out of sight. What's needed to do this? It is possible, yes? Thanks for any ideas. I saw the post on airexpress but that doesn't really address my needs.

The Apple Airport Express and a stereo connection cable are exactly what you need to do this. You also need powered speakers, or speakers that get their power through an AV Receiver and amp.
The Airport Express is a wireless broadband router that can be directly connected to the Mac mini (wired or wirelessly) and used to distribute your Internet connection to other networked computers in the house.
Significantly, the Airport Express also has a single audio jack that allows you to connect either an analog (RCA-style) audio cable or a digital optical SPDIF cable -- either can be connected to the back of your AV Receiver, but you'll get the best quality using the digital cable (assuming your AV Receiver has a free optical digital port). Once the AEX is connected, you assign one of the receiver's Input ports to the computer/AEX. So, instead of connecting a stereo CD or tape player to the receiver, you connect the computer.
The stereo connection kit (cables) must be purchased separately.
We connected the AEX to our computer network using a Category 6 (RJ-45) Ethernet cable. While you can set up the Express to receive network signals wirelessly, it will be more reliable, and possiby faster (depending on the topology and setup), if you rely on Ethernet where possible. This way, the cable or DSL modem is hard-wired to the AEX and the only portion of the network that is wireless is between the wireless computers and the AEX.

Problems with Installing iTunes and wireless network connection

Every time I attempt to install iTunes it completely kicks the internet off and an error comes up that the wireless network adapter to not connect or is not detected. My internet service is connected to a router which I receive wirelessly to my laptop. I do not understand why it is happening and to get the internet to work again I needed to do a system restore. Any ideas why this is happening. Also when iTunes was installed it came up correctly, it would just not connect to the net. I have had a previous version on my old laptop but since purchasing this new laptop I am having such difficulty. On another note, if this problem can be resolved, once iTunes is working is there a way to get the songs from my old computer onto the new? Thanks for the help in advance!

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Iphone and Apple Home Stereo Box

I bought the Apple home stereo unit a few years back and have always used it to play my ipod and and recharge it. I just bought the iphone and when I put it in the slot the phone said that this device does not support charging the phone. Why would this be. IT works with my wife's Touch. Why would it not charge the phone, it's an Apple device after all

Apple has been gradually removing firewire support for iPods over the last few years.
Initially, all iPods charged and synced via firewire. Apple switched from syncing via firewire to USB with all iPods and continued to support charging via firewire.
The first generation iPhone supports syncing via USB and charging via firewire - many car kits and your Apple home stereo support charging via firewire.
Apple removed support for charging via firewire with the iPhone 3G and will follow suit with future iPod models. The firewire pins were removed from the dock connector with the iPhone 3G. The next generation iPod Touch will not support charging via firewire either.

ITunes -- Wireless -- Home Stereo

I have my entire (almost 600) CD collection in iTunes. I am presently playing from iTunes to my stereo via a Creative Labs XMod Wireless Music System. It works very well, but I have started to think about possibly including a higher quality DAC product. If I continue to use the Creative Labs product for its wireless interconnect, I am not sure how to work an external DAC into the configuration. Advice?

A point of clarity please ... '+powered speakers or a stereo+' (?) ... so in the second case the stereo receiver would be the front end 'powering' the speakers; in the first case 'powered speakers' would refer to speakers that obtained their own power from the household supply?

I have a work Itunes and a home Itunes how can I use both with my Iphone?

I have an Itunes on my work computer and another on my home, but my new Iphone will only allow me to add music from one of the Itunes. I have purchased music on both Itunes how can I get this to work?

You can only sync with one computer. If you have the same account on both computers you can transfer all of your purchased music to one of them, then sync with that one.

ITunes and Windows Home Server

This is probably a question for the Apple developers instead of the community of Apple product users, but here we go:
I'm involved in beta testing Microsoft's new Windows Home Server that's due for release in a few months, and so far it's looking like a much better solution than any network hard drive setups that I've seen so far. I've even put iTunes on it and have been testing syncing an iPod to it, and everything works great. The problem is that Home Server isn't designed to be a computer that people actually log directly into, either by sitting at the keyboard/mouse or by remote desktop. It has a special user interface for managing the server, as using the real tools can break the spiffy dumbed-down versions of stuff they've set up.
What I want to know is whether or not there are any plans for Apple to release a version of iTunes that will have a remote control function of sorts built in, so that playlists can be created, iPods synced and properly disconnected, and the library managed from a remote computer on the same network. Sharing the library isn't a problem. I've already put that feature to use and it works great. But I'd like to be able to sit at my laptop and manage the library stored on my server, via remote interface.
Of course, in keeping all of the content creators happy, the computers that control the remote iTunes setup would have to be authorized to play content from that library.
This could really just be a feature added to the library sharing function.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Has anyone found a way around this?

The latest iTunes and importing home videos?

The earlier itunes had an import option under file, but the one I just recently downloaded does not. I want to import a video file (and it is in a format itunes would recognize), but I cannot.

drag&drop only works if the video is already compatible (like MP4, M4V, MOV). If not, you need a third party tool.

IPhone is stuck on respring, cannot be detected in iTunes and my home button is broken. HELP!?

Hi there,
My iPhone has been stuck on the respring icon loop, I've tried numerous ways to try and boot it in DFU mode but it didn't work as iTunes simply can't detect my iPhone. To make matters worse, my power button doesn't work either...
Help please!
Thanks in advance

Trouble with wired and wireless home network

I recently installed a WTR54GS with my desktop wired to it and my laptop wireless. My laptop can get to the internet (router is attached to a cable modem) but it can not see shared files on the desktop or the printer that is attached to the desktop. However, the desktop can see the shared file folder on the laptop. I can not seem to correct this. Latest error message I got was Microsoft 871122, something about wireless zero configuration. I'm about ready to go back to my old USR router that worked fine, except that it lost its IP address periodically. Any advice?

It could be a bunch of things. I am guessing you added the wireless laptop after the desk top. The best place to start is on your desktop. Right click on your shared folder. From the dropdown menu select sharing and security. From there it gives you several options as well as more info...including your firewall settings. Do the same thing on your desktop using Control Panal and the printers and fax icon right click on your printer. You might also check to see if your LAN or Worgroup match between the two puters. You can make it work no matter, but might find it easier if they are the same. Do this by right clicking on My Computer, choose properties on the dropdown choose the computer name tab. It will give you an option to change the settings...That is a basic start...the wireless 0 connection error your are getting implies that you let microsoft setup on your wireless adapter settings on your laptop. This can be disabled. I avoid using the micorsoft stuff for setup for your wireless adapter. Just my prefrence. That is with one exception and unless you are Windows Registry Hexpert, I won.t get into that.
Anyway a possiable start.

Cisco Media player and Wireless Home Adudio DMC250 stopped seeing my computer music Folder

How about the Cisco Media Server software, is it still running? Try disabling your computer firewalls as well for further isolation.
