Itunes stream to different network

I'm trying to get itunes to stream music to an airport that's on a different network. How can you specify and IP for itunes to steam to? All it does it scan the local network so itunes can't find it.

Sorry, but you can't as I'm not aware that AirTunes is routable outside of the local subnet.

How to manage streaming in different networks??........

hi,
can anyone tell me about how to manage one-one streaming thru different networks?.... For eg:- in a LAN connection, suppose 2 machines have ip's 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.153. but when the first machine is connected to internet, it's ip changes to say, 220.56.0.89. But the second machine even if it has internet facility , it's ip is still 192.168.0.153. how can i get the global IP of the second machine?
or,
How can i send/receive streams between these two??......

Backup to what where??
Do you mean backup to your TC sitting at home? Apple recommends you do not do it. It is too easy to corrupt and the speeds are too slow unless you have high speed fibre at both locations.
Do you mean cloud? Yes, you can probably backup your files to the cloud but you will need to pay for the extra storage and it is still very slow due to upload speed being a fraction of download.

Once you have completed the unlock process as laid out by AT&T
you can change the sim at will
Although I usually switch off the iPhone before changing ( being careful)
I have at times hot swapped and had no problems

Is there a way to open automatically open different iTunes libraries in different networks?

I know how to select which iTunes library to open upon launch -- manually. But I'd like iTunes to automatically open a different library, depending on where I am:
1) open the library on my external drive when I'm on my home network, but
2) open the library on my Macbook Pro when I'm on any other network.
Can you think of a way to automate this?

If you setup the PDF with appropriate chapter labels for the pages - yes.

Hello there, i have an i Phone 3GS which was locked on the network Orange from U.K i finished the contract last year, but some how i cant unlock it to be able to use on a different network. tried to restore it on itunes but it says unable to process at this time.

under UK legislation, if your are out of contract (and not owing the carrier any debts!) they are LEGALLY obliged to unlock you, and within a certain number of (few) days.. search OFCOM for the regulations.
That said, they are also entittled to charge you for this (usually about £20!)
I believe, that this can also be done via an APPLE STORE, but the first option is always the Origional Network carrier.
Orange has a terrible repuation now for customer service (which is just one reason they changed their name to EE!, and yes, this is fact which is why they came Bottom in several recent customer satisfaction surveys.. so they are not going to rush to help you leave them are they..)

Can I sync 2 apple tvs on different networks with same itunes account?

I read that you can sync up to 5 tv's with the same itunes library, but do all tv's need to be on the same network?
I've been able to successfully sync both apple tvs from my itunes account that's on my laptop. The first one works fine but the 2nd one keeps restarting itself while playing.
I'm not sure if it's me or the apple tv.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Think I have it now. 2 tv's in different locations and on different networks, laptop connected to tv 1 over network 1 works fine, no go with tv 2 with laptop connected over network 2.
Yes this could be an tv fault, you do however have the opportunity to check this. Swap over the 2 tv's if the problem moves with the tv it could be the tv, if it stays with the same network it could be the network.
I'm not so sure it makes any difference but I assume you have named the two tv's differently in itunes.

What is the best way to set up iTunes on our home network so all family members have access to all of our itunes library, even music we don't have on the cloud?

I have five different people using 10 different apple devices on one itunes account in our family. We have had trouble sharing. What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? We have purchased music that sits on icloud, but we also have music we have imported from our previous cd library. Our itunes program keeps crashing and dumping everyone's playlists. So far we have all been using just the one desktop computer to sync to because we can't figure out how to share the same librarly and playlists on multiple computers in our home so devices can be synced at any location as well as playlists and purchases be made.

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

When i put my own contacts into my iphone 3gs and deleted existing ones, the same happened on my mums iphone 4? my iphone was hers previously, but has been unlocked by o2, we have different networks and were 12 miles apart when i did it!

My mum upgraded last week from iphone 3gs to iphone 4, I got the iphone 3gs unlocked as of this morning and proceeded to remove her contacts and put my own in.
Several hours later she came home from work to find her contacts on the iphone 4 had been replaced with the same list i had put on mine!
We have different networks, different itunes accounts etc, I can't understand why or how this has happened or most importantly how to fix it as she has lost all her numbers and is understandably very very cross....

contacts are not visible in back up, but if she restores from that back up - contacts will come back to phone. Then all her apps and music have to be synced back again. She will also have all other personal info return to the phone, but all that info will be as old, as back up itself.

I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks.

I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks that will not communicate or even see each other. The first network is the one that needs to be the most secure. The computers are used for personal information, documents, pictures, Apple TV and iTunes home sharing.(3 Apples, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones and 4 Apple TVs) The second network needs to be for the 3 computers and gaming systems used for social games on Facebook, PSP, XBox, and a gaming system used for World of Warcraft. The social interactions seem to be the ones that have picked up most of our computer network issues and I would like to be able to isolate them from any communication with our home network (2 PCs and 1 Mac). Is there a way that I can use 2 different routers along with blocking any bluetooth and/or bonjour connections? I am not worried about a networked printer for the second network, it is more to try and contain any issues that may slip though virus protection and create a mess with our home systems. It would be nice to still be able to set up a Guest Network for the herds of kids and adults to use when visiting as well. PLEASE tell me this can be done.
Thank You
Christine

Christine,
Apple may be able to do some, but not all of what you want to do.
The dual band AirPort Extreme can create a main, or "private" network and a separate "guest" network. The private network can be configured to handle both wired and wireless clients. The "guest" network works only for wireless clients.
Computers, devices, etc on the "guest" network cannot "see" or communicate with any of the devices on the main or "private" network. But, it is possible to allow clients on the "guest" network to see other devices on the "guest" network, so a wireless printer on this network would allow anyone on the "guest" network to be able to use the printer if you need that functionality.
You can "extend" the "main" network using more wireless devices if you need more wireless coverage. The "guest" network cannot be extended.
Depending on the level of service you have with your ISP, you may have bandwidth issues with two networks and multiple devices all trying to use the Internet connection. I would think that a 25-30 Mbps connection would be the bare minimum to handle what you want to do and 50 Mbps would be advised.
If you want to use two separate routers, you are really looking at a commercial type installation best handled by commercial products like Cisco, so that might be the place to look.

Cannot connect to the iTunes store. The network connection was reset.

My iTunes has been messed up since August 17th. I am getting the error message; "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I am having no issues connecting to the internet or even receiving my podcasts. It just won't download my TV shows or let me shop. I have contacted Hewlett Pack. about this and iTunes/apple. No one seems to have an answer for me. I have disabled my firewalls, norton, done msconfig, allowed iTunes, everything. I am very frustrated and so are others that seem to be having this same problem. We need a genius!! Please help!

I suspect a location-driven problem here. I live in SHanghai, China - as does the poster above! I have this problem on three different computers using three different ISPs.
Anybody got a suggestion? Tried firewalls, turning off virus production, reinstalling iTunes, putting phobos.apple.com and such in the permitted list, all sorts of stuff, to no avail. And Apple help support just bounces me around - I've interacted via email with three people, finally graduated to a real person, and they sent me back to email when the usual "reboot your machine and reinstall iTunes, then turn off virus protection" didn't work.

I have an old dell computer that my itunes is currently on, can i some how switch my itunes to a different computer?

i have an old dell computer that my itunes is currently on, can i some how switch my itunes to a different computer?
im planning on getting rid of this computer and getting a macbook, i still want to keeo all my songs in my library, what could i do?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Older Apple TV and iTunes streaming problem

I've set up a Mac to act as an iTunes streaming host, mostly for standard-definition video. Other computers and iOS devices on my home network can play back the content with no issues. However, two older (hard disk based) Apple TVs we have are unable to play video from the iTunes streaming server.
One of the Apple TVs is connected via ethernet, the other via wifi. They can play audio just fine via iTunes streaming. With video, however, they either lock up for extended periods of time or play the audio while showing a frozen video frame.
Since audio plays back fine but video doesn't, I'm wondering if the video data rate is too high for these older Apple TV boxes. The video is standard definition in h.264 format encoded by HandBrake. The settings used for the video are:
Video codec: H.264 (x264)
Framerate: same as source
Quality: Constant quality (RF: 20)
Can anyone think of something I might be able to do (other than re-encode all the video at lower bitrates) that might help?

What bitrate are they, the Apple TV 1 is stated to play video up to 5 Mbps, but I've tested video at 11 Mbps without any problems. You might also try re-encoding a small part of the original source file using other conversion software at the same bitrate to see if it's a problem with handbrake.

Airport Express - iTunes streaming and wireless bridge at the same time?

I know the Airport Express (AX) can do iTunes streaming. And I know it can act as a wireless bridge - meaning, a wired device can plug into the AX as if they were plugged directly into the local network.
What I am wondering - before I buy one - is whether the AX can do both at the same time. I have been reading around, and some people say it cannot, but I am getting the feeling that might be an older version perhaps.
Here is my set up -
office:
cable modem > Airport Extreme 802.11n base station
desktop computer
family room:
DVD, TV, TiVo, etc. -- all would like a wired network connection
Stereo -- would like to stream iTunes from desktop computer
So can the AX stream iTunes to the stereo, AND serve up the network to the TiVo, etc. at the same time?
If so, I assume I can plug an Ethernet Switch into the AX and have it simultaneously service >1 device (e.g. TiVo, TV, etc.).
Thanks a lot!

The newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be setup in any of the following three configurations to enable its Ethernet port to provide network connectivity to wired clients:
1) As a remote base station in a WDS with another 802.11b/g/n AirPort.
2) As an extension to another 802.11n AirPort/Time Capsule.
3) As a ProxySTA (Ethernet bridge) with any wireless router.
I have verified that it can support both performing as an Ethernet bridge and stream simultaneously for the first two configurations, but have not had an opportunity to try the last to verify that case as well ... but I believe it should.
