Know what's playing over Airtunes

Like many businesses, we use Airtunes in our office to allow everyone to play their iTunes over the office speakers. But two questions that always gets asked are "what is playing?" and "who is playing this?".
Is there any way to know either what person or what song is currently playing over Airtunes via desktop interface?
Thanks!

Never found an answer to this. If you have any ideas please let me know! http://unraveled.com

Using airport disc as a music server, and playing music over airtunes

I know that I can put my itunes library on an external hard drive, and that I could access this external hard drive wirelessly if I attached it to an airport extreme. However, if i did this would I still be able to play music over airtunes. It seems that the music would have to be sent wirelessly from the drive to my macbook via the airport extreme, and then from there to the airport express and on to my amplifier. This seems convoluted. Would it work?

I think you are missing the point.
1) It is fast enough. I've never had a problem doing anything I needed to. Also, there is nothing preventing you from hooking directly to the external hard drive for extended data transfers. And unless there is a serious problem, the wireless connection is faster than any burning speed. And it isn't wireless internet. The internet has nothing to do with this. 802.11n has typical throughput speeds of 70-80Mbps. That is a song a second or better.
2) Actually, what gets kept on the shared volume is only the music. The library file, the artwork for albums and everything directly related to how iTunes understands the library remains on the internal drive under the user directory.
3) This is true, but as soon as it regains contact everything is corrected. What is really nice, almost as if Apple intended for it to be so, is that any new songs brought into the library while contact is lost to the Airdisk can be consolidated by simply using the menu item ...consolidate library.
4) Not close. If I gave up the hard drive space it takes to hold my music/video library on my internal hard drive I wouldn't have any space left. I'm thinking you interpreted the situation as referring to someone with a desktop computer. I think in that case, that unique case of a single desktop Mac household, then yes, of course, plug the external drive into the computer. In the other cases, where there are laptops involved, and more than one user, this is part of the beauty of the design of the whole system.
I suggest to you that your response is a very closed view of the possibilities that are possible. You may not see the benefits, but it is by no means pointless.

Possible to play iPhone over AirTunes?

I'm guessing there isn't an app to do it, but I'm making sure I didn't miss it. Is there an app out there that plays your iPhone audio (iTunes, Pandora app, etc.) over AirTunes connected speakers?

There isn't an app (yet) that does what you want. But...
All the music on your iPhone is managed by iTunes, so download the Apple Remote app for controlling iTunes from your iPhone. It allows you to select the AirTunes speakers for output.
For Pandora, you can control the webbrowser on your Mac using the VNC app. Install AirFoil on your Mac, and you have a poor man's remote for sending Pandora music to the AirTunes speakers.

My iphone won't charge and won't play music anymore. I have tried reseting it and switching it off. Have tried 3 different chargeres and even a car charger. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

I have an iPhone 4 not quite 2 years old. 2 nights ago my iPhone was on its charger and it kept vibrating as if it was being disconnected and re-connected from the charger. When I looked at it had an "error" message but now I don't know what that was as it was 3am and I was half asleep. I just diconnected the charger and the battery read fully charged.
The my volume wouldn't go up or down. The box with "ringer" in it came up but no bars at the bottom to show the volume is increasing or decreasing. It would not play music out of the speakers either even though the screen showed it was playing and it would not work in our dock/speaker unless I used bluetooth and even then, if we touched the volume button on the dock it would switch off.
I tried a "hard" reset 3 times and tried switching it off and on 3 times with no success.
I tried 3 different chargers including a car charger, plus the speaker dock with no success.
It is now out of battery and I cannot charge it.
The iPhone also would not back anything up prior to the battery going flat.
I just need to know if it is fixable or do I need to start looking for a new phone?

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

HT1399 I was able to see the lyrics while playing the audio when my iOS was 6.1.4 now i do not know what to do to see the lyrics while playing the audio or a karaoke

I was able to see the lyrics while playing the audio when my iOS was 6.1.4
now i do not know what to do to see the lyrics while playing the audio or a karaoke after upgraded(?) to iOS 7
Is there any chance to see the lyrics in iOS 7 or i want to degrade it to 6.1.4?

Thank you for responding. I'm not sure if my complete original message came through. It was just today that an automatic update notice came through, and I installed the update that was offered. So I have to guess that version — 10.1.10 — is the latest version that's available to me. My OS is 10.6.8. Again (in case the complete message isn't appearing), I'm on an older Mac, specifically MacBook 2.1. Perhaps this is the problem, and I never should have updated a few years ago. If so, I wonder if there's any way I can go back to that earlier version that worked well for me, rather than the last few versions, which have not.

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

Using a computer, other than the one you have regularily been Syncing and Backing up to, was the begining of your issue.

I had an in-game purchase that failed to give me my items purchased, this is usually an easy fix, but this one was through EA, I would like to know what steps I can take to rectify this. (I realize that NOT playing EA games is the best answer...)

Music I have purchased from Itunes will no longer play on my laptop. When I click on a song to play it, it says the file cannot be found. Does anybody know what to do?

Purchased music from I-tunes will no longer play when I hit play. The message "music file cannot be located" pops up and then takes me to some other file system. Does anybody know what to do? I have already tried to make sure that my Itunes player is default and that is not the problem.
Help!

You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you?

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

Try using VLC (just search for it on Google). It's an open source video player that will play most downloadable video files.

TS3159 Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes. Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again?

No, I haven't figured it out. And no one from Apple has contacted me to help. Very frustrating. Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
Do you have a 3GS too? Maybe it's something with that phone??

Does anyone know what to do so we can play the games on facebook?
