Itunes films on external speaker
I cant play iTune film sounds by using my external Bowers & Wilkins A7. Can anyone help me?
When i stream other films from my hardrive using Apple TV, there are no problems using the external speaker.
The problems only occure when I try to play sound from films purchased or rented on iTunes...
Looking forward to hear from You
See the user tip Make a split library portable for information. You should be able to clone the library files to local storage. Worth knowing now how to put them back on NAS for when the library needs moving to a new drive/system.
See also my script ConsolidateByMoving for a potentially easier way to move content between the NAS and the local drive.
You ought to maintain a complete copy of the library and media on a separate drive at all times as backup.

I can't choose my external speaker, it's "grey"
Hy there
I have a problem, and as I've been searching on the net i found out, that I seem not to be the only one...
I updated my iTunes to version 9 and now my iTunes shows my external speaker (in the side bar at the bottem right corner) only grey, and i can't choose them anymore. Everything works with the Airport Express, i also tried to reinstall everything and reset it. The light is green on the Airport Express.
Can someone help me?
MakubaI have the same problem. It´s also gray on my second computer which runs XP. Both run iTunes 9. Upgrading the Airport Express firmware to 6.3 didnt help.

ITunes and external speaker (Airport Express)
Hi,
How to choose the external speaker ( Airport Expess) in Applescript in iTunes ?.
ThanksI would like to know the answer to this, too, although looking at the iTunes scripting dictionary, there doesn't seem to be any way to set or get the currently chosen external speakers.

My ipod touch was given to me from apple refurbished and still with ios 5.0.2 after owering it on for the first time and updating to 6.0.1 it was functioning normally and i was using it just fine. i had just begun to use itunes and i bought some music and after playing about 3 or 4 songs aloud from the external speaker it stopped working. just like that. i looked over the internet about other incidents like that but then after thaty i returned back to my ipod and began playing Tron and the sound worked fine! i exited the app and it played my music just fine too. then the next day it went out again and no sound was being played. i left it alone and after about 2 or 3 hours i came back to it and it played sound again. the next day it went out in the middle of watching a video i had just taken. it hasnt come back on since. any help/suggestions?? anything plz..
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

My headphone port no longer connects to external speaker
The external speaker works with my phone so I know the speaker works. The speaker doesn't work with the hdmi cable and was working right before I connected the cable. Now it doesn't work with iTunes or anything coming from the computer. Just my phone.
Hi inthetrees,
Happy New Year! If you are not hearing sound from your headphone jack on your computer, I have a few things you can try. First, disconnect the cable from the headphone jack and restart your computer. This might reset everything.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, take a look at the article below and confirm the sound output settings for your external speaker. The article is for our most recent operating system, but the instructions for accessing the sound settings is the same.
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your computer’s sound output settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18960
You can play sound through your computer’s internal speakers, your display’s speakers (if it has speakers), or through speakers, headphones, or other equipment plugged into your Mac or available wirelessly through AirPlay.
Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
Choose a sound output device
From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.
For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.
Adjust sound output settings
You can adjust balance and volume for sound output with the controls in the preference pane. If you select the “Show volume in menu bar checkbox,” a volume control appears in the menu bar so that you can turn the volume up or down from anywhere. To set a separate volume for alert sounds, click the Sound Effects tab.
Depending on your Mac and the devices you use, you may be able to set other volume options using the Audio MIDI Setup app.
If you use apps that have volume controls (for example, iTunes or iMovie), their settings can only be equal to or less than the computer’s output volume. They do not override the settings you choose in Sound preferences.
Adjust your computer’s sound input settings
If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
If a selected audio device reverts to another audio device
I hope this information helps ....

External Speaker big pop/buzz when connecting or disconnecting audio cable
My external speakers make a big buzz/pop every time I connect or disconnect the stereo mini 1/8" plug into the headphone jack -- if the speakers are turned up high at the time, it's enough to blow them.
This doesn't happen with headphones - just external powered sound. If I turn the external speakers way down or off, there is no pop/buzz when connecting; muting the sound through the Macbook Pro has no effect.
This happens on all external speaker systems I've tried (including the Soundsticks currently), and regardless of whether the MB is plugged in to power or not, and with or without any other external USB or Firewire devices attached. I've also tried various cables & connectors -- always the same result. This does not happen with the same speakers on an older iMac.
I've spoken to a couple other MB owners who have the same problem.
Any way around this? It would be easy enough to turn off the external speakers next the MB every time I plug or unplug -- but with it feeding 3 stereo systems throughout the house, it's a bit much every time...
Thanks!{quote:title=Neville Mayfield wrote:}
The problem is caused by contact made with the components of the socket as it slides into its correct position. It is a small electrical charge that bridges the plug & socket segments and not related to the current sound setting on the MBP.
I assume you like high volume from your speakers, much more than I would choose to have! I do get a slight buzz & pop myself and to my recollection always have done in 23 yrs of using computers.{quote}
With all do respect, this is not the problem here. I have the same problem as described by the thread starter, and having worked in the audio producing industry for many many years I can say with certainty that what you are describing is something else.
Sure, the traditional "high-volume-on-AMP-while-connecting-signal-source" issue is still present, as it is with any product you connect like that, but this is different: when a headphone is inserted, you can hear a clearly audible "click" followed by a very noticable humming/buzzing sound. It is almost like the machine has "fired up the audio engine" and you get to hear the idle sound.
If I play music in iTunes, stop playing, leave the headphone connected, the humming/buzzing disappears after a while, and when I press play on iTunes, the same "click/humming/buzz" is heard, even though I haven't pysically touched the connector. -
My ipods external speaker suddenly stoped working...when i go to music without d earphones plugged in it doesnt show me the voluve controler...
Try backing it up in iTunes, then restoring software. Back up first, though.
If problem is still there, then you may have to take this to a higher level. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/
If you STILL can't get an answer from those people, then go to an Apple Store and talk with a Genius -
Yesterday, I had the iPod playing on my phone, and all of a sudden, the sound quit. So I shut it off, started it back up and nothing. Tried a reset on the phone, nothing. I copied my info, and did a restore, but used the backup through iTunes. And Ive tried plugging a headphone jack in and removing it repeatedly, like Ive found in trouble shooting things online.
If I plug headphones in, I can hear everything fine. But the external speaker is not working and I am not sure if its just gone or if there is something else I can try? The phone is like 1 1/2 years old now, so out of warranty, of course. This *****, since now I have no ringer.
Any ideas? I was hoping to upgrade in June, but thats a ways away and this ***** with no ringer...
Thanks
VirginiaOh and it isnt saying the headphones are plugged in at all. Ive also tried blowing that out and the speaker on the bottom

Locking the volume on external speaker
My grandson is autistic and always has his ipad. He has it in airports, on airplances, in stores, etc. I know you can lock the volume on the ipad but that is only if you are using ear buds or headphones which he does not use. Does anyone know if you can lock the external speaker volume so it's not so loud and disturbing to other people? If not Apple this is something you need to address.

Will the external speaker easily blow out?
Maybe this is a silly question, but...
I was playing around and listening to the iPhone on its external speaker today, and noticed how poor the audio quality is -- clipping, static, etc.. No surprise, it's a single small speaker.
That said, I do like to use it now and then -- surfing YouTube at home, or playing a song/video for a friend. It can get the job done.
This morning, I was playing with the loudness and some of my music sounded like speaker torture, even with EQ applied.
Would this speaker easily blow out from use this way? Or from audio tracks set to ringtones and turned up loud? (Loud ringtones are often a must when I'm out and about.)Thanks. Re the "more than the iPhone can handle" above -- that is what I was afraid of, playing it louder than the phone can handle!
Re DaVBMan: That makes sense, although I think they should have just designed it not to play audio if the speakers aren't designed to cope with it. My e61 with a mono speaker handles quite loud music volume without clipping and distortion...
If anyone else is curious, I want to point out that it also varies my phone. This is my second iPhone (I had issues that warranted an exchange) and the first one had much better external speakers, I played a bit of music from the iTunes Store to demo for a friend and it all sounded fine. Tinny, but fine. It's my current phone that gets clipping and distortion, even at low volumes.
Still, my first phone was starting to lose signal when sleeping... and I'd rather have the clipping speaker than a phone that loses signal. -
I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.
Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.

how can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all of my music is from a bunch of cds i own
Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

I am trying to backup my Itunes onto my external hard drive. I am at the step where I on Itunes, click on File ->Library ->Organize library. I am suppose to check mark both boxes there, the first being "Consolidate Files" & the second being "Reorganize files in the folder 'Itunes Media'. I am able to checkmark the first box but It won't allow me to check mark the second box, why? How can i fix this? Please help!
Well you must have made a mistake somewhere. The last instruction of step four reads:
When you've found your iTunes library folder, drag that folder to your external hard drive. This will begin the iTunes backup. The amount of time the backup will take depends on the size of your library. When the transfer is done, your backup is complete and your external hard drive can be disconnected.
Normally dragging content from to a new location on a different drive will result in a copy action which is what you were supposed to do. At a guess you somehow managed to move the iTunes folder. Then when you started iTunes it created a new blank library for you assuming it had just been installed rather that raising a warning.
Close iTunes. Rename the iTunes folder on the internal drive as iTunes (Empty) then copy the iTunes folder from the external back into the User's Music folder. Start iTunes. All should be well.
When you've made sure it all works please read my User Tip and use that method to backup in future. Since you already have a folder with the backup in place you can skip the "Make New" operation in the fourth step and simply choose the external folder.

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology? It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists. I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library. In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
Thanks for any support ;-)
EaglerockerQuick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
