Line-out used exclusively by iTunes

Hi there, is there a way, an application maybe, to give iTunes exclusive usage of the line-out in the Macs?
I have an AirPort Express station and love the possibility to keep all sounds coming out the built-in speakers while I have my Hi-Fi connected to the AirPort Express station. From time to time I need to use the AirPort Express station for something else and I'm forced to connect my Hi-Fi to the line-out. That diverts every sound to the Hi-Fi as well, which I hate.
I know of an app, called Detour (www.rogueamoeba.com), that claims to do something like that. Unfortunatelly that app doesn't run on intel-macs.
Does anyone know of something similar?
Thanks in advance.

Classical music purchasers apparently can no longer purchase musicbecause the option of listing composer and/or artist and/or piece and/or across all categories is gone
Every online music download store that caters to classical music fans makes it easy to search by Composer. Here are two good ones:

IPad line-out design flaw - really!!!

I just bought a cable that uses the line out of the ipad to use with my car stereo (Kensington 2-in-1 Charger and Audio Cable for iPhone/iPod)
I first tested the cable by plugging it into some external computer speaker ... hissssss. Then into my nice NAD stereo amp .... hisssss and finally in the car ....... hissssssssssssssss.
I then investigated the hissssssssing problem further and IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH IPADS ! I ordered another cable from Amazon and got the same hiss. I even went to the Apple store and myself and a Genius even tried another iPad with this cable and still got a hiss. To top it off WE USED THE OFFICIAL IPAD DOCK with the line out (using another cable with mini plugs) and still got a hiss.
So peeps, it appears that there is a major problem with the line out on the ipad. Perhaps these cables are at fault but how can you explain using a standard line out cable with mini plugs with the official Apple dock and still getting the same hiss. It's not a very loud hiss but definitely noticeable and renders the ipad line-out useless for anyone who wants to use this device to get better sound quality than the standard headphone out jack on home and car stereo units.

I plug an audio cable between the iPad the the home theater inputs and it sounds fine. And do the same to the powered speakers in the bedroom, and it sounds fine. Or connect a different cable from the iPad to the car radio's AUX to play audiobooks on the road, which sound great. And, of course, headphones sound fine too.
I use my iPod the same way and I expect to use the iPad that way also.
However, about a year ago I drove a rental car that had a USB connection to the sound system. According to the car user manual, that allowed the sound system to pick up sound from the iPod but also allowed the sound system to control the iPod via user inputs. Unfortunately, it required that the iPod have MS formatting and mine has Apple formatting so I never had a chance to play with it.
Having said all that, I suspect (but can't prove) that the OP's problem is that, with ONLY the sound out function being accessed, the noise is reasonable. The cable includes other wires that are unterminated in this configuration. Unterminated wires are a good antenna. The antenna is picking up random noise (hiss) and transferring it to the audio.

Use LINE OUT or use USB for LINE OUT?

Using my MacBook to run iTunes at my wedding in a few weeks.
Should I just stick with the in built LINE OUT?
Or would using a USB device to give me a LINE OUT be better?
Does anyone know the specs on the line out in terms of "v"
Just worried about using another device could introduce more thing to be set as I will not be running the MacBook someone else will be so maybe I should keep it simple.
I just need to to be working without any problems for 5-6 hours without anyone touching it.
Only thing I have noticed is the output on the line out is a little on the low side, I need to crank the amp a little more than I do with other sources like a dedicated CD player.
I do have access to a Griffen iMic (model 1) but do I need it?

Thank you for the input.
But phase cancellation is not only occur from having 4 speakers facing each other, a certain degree or audio source placement might trigger that or un-wise effect applied that instead create "echo" or delay fx it create phase cancellation if played with the original audio source. And phase cancellation will not only result of cutting it, it also might resulted of boosting it if it was the same frequency waveform.
But it is indeed could happen so I hope the dj for his wedding ceremony wise enough with the eq and efx. And beside the audio for wedding ceremony is not as crucial as piano resital so if a bit of phase cancellation occur might not noticeable.
But thanks again for the input.
Peace out.

Power usage when using line out dock /poor battery life

Hi,
Does using a line out dock use more battery power than using the headphone jack?
I'm asking because in real life usage I am only getting about 6 hours of play time from my 4GB Nano. For me real life usage is maybe 20-30 minutes of use at a time while commuting to and from work or going for walks. Much of that play time is spent using a line out dock connection in my car. I have an Aux port in my car and the sound from the headphone jack is horrible. With the line out dock it's great.
I did run the Apple suggested battery test and when I leave my unit on and don't touch it at all I get about 13-13.5 hours of play time. So I'm trying to understand why that drops in half when I use the Nano the way I use it. Was wondering if using the line out dock is part of that. I do not have the Equalizer on, I use the Hold switch when I'm not using the Nano and am carrying it around in a pocket or in my purse, and I have the backlight set to 5 seconds. I don't use any of the extra features. I just play music. All of my music should be in AAC format. It's music I either purchased and downloaded from ITunes or music I imported from my own CD's using the default ITunes settings.

I too share your frustration. I'm on my fifth iPad as an owner, and really like them, but Apple made a huge mistake with the Air 2 by making it thinner and putting a smaller battery in it. The iPad Air was wonderfully thin and didn't need slimming down. I get noticeably worse battery life on my iPad Air 2 compared to my first iPad Air. My Air had epic, brag-worthy battery life. My Air 2 has cringe-worthy battery life. Apple's product designers need to get their priorities straight: thin, when it compromises the user experience, is TOO THIN.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

IPod Dock - Charge only and line out when iTunes not open

Hi I just got an iPod dock which is connected both to my computer via USB and my sound system via the line out.
Here is what I want to happen. Come back from college listening to iPod, remove headphones place into dock and let the music play through my sound system. Then when I need to update my iPod open iTunes and start autosync. Is this possible with out unplugging my USB cable and replugging it in.
So far what happens is the second I dock the iPod it goes to Do not diconnect and all music stops. I changed all the settings in the ipod preferences like open itunes when connected, automatically sync, use as disk drive. Using different combinations and also disabled the drive from device manager but then when I open iTunes it doesnt sync.
Is there anything I can do?

Mine just did the same thing,try holding the center and the menu buttons at the same time it worked for mine.

Possible to use both optical out AND regular line out at the same time?

I currently have my computer speakers (logitech z560) hooked up to the mac pro via regular stereo jack in the back. I have an extra receiver that I would love to hook in to supply me with some needed sound for movie watching and what-not.. Is there a way to enable both line out - digital and line out at the same time?

You can set DVD Player's "Audio output" to "Digital Out" in its "Disc Setup" preference, while other applications use Line Out.
You could use a splitter on Line Out to feed your current speakers, and analog Line In on your receiver. When you want sound to both systems, set the receiver to Line In. When you want to watch DVDs, set it to Digital In. This will give you surround sound if the DVD has multichannel sound, and the receiver supports more than two channels.
If you really want the same output on the Mac Pro Line Out, and Digital Out, you can use the "Auxiliary Device Output" effect in Audio Hijack Pro
<http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
It will not support more than two-channel audio.

I bought a 3rd ipad for my daughter in CA. I synced w/my PC to load some apps since she has no PC. Now I am in Iraq with PC and my iPad. If I buy my her iTunes gift cards, can she buy apps and music w/out using my pin and charging to my Credit card?

I bought another iPad for my daugther. Because she has no PC, I loaded her iPad with apps from My PC. Now she is in Oceanside CA. And I am in Iraq with my iPad and PC.. My question is: How can my daughter load some apps of her own? If I buy her iTunes gift cards, can she redeem them on her iPad with out using my Pin number (as that would give her access to my credit card)! I prefer to gifted her purchases, not allow her to purchase with access to my credit card. Can this be done?

well if the ipad is on your itunes account then her apps and music etc will be billed to you. but if you give her gift cards you should take off your credit card because itunes won't tell you when you are all through with your gifted money and are back to useing your credit card until after you have made a purchase

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Nope. Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes. In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased and download the purchased songs for free.

So I have to reboot manual with holding power button, but cannot load osx (blank screen), I try to hold smc reset button, don't work too.
So I unplug and plug the memory raiser, so finally everything back to normal. It can loading osx snow leopard normally.
So what is the problem?
Thank you,
David

It's a hardware fault. I suggest you make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have it tested. It's a free service. The repair won't be free, but if it's something simple, such as a bad memory module, you may be able to fix it yourself.

Using iphone line-out

A couple years ago I made a custom cable to go from the dock connector on my iPod to my car stereo. This utilized the line-out signal from the dock connector, which is the right level for input to the stereo (and higher quality, as it bypasses the headphone amplifier). The cable also charges the ipod when it is plugged in.
I was hoping that I could use this same cable with my iphone, but unfortunately when I plug it in the audio continues to play from the built-in speaker. It does charge, but no sound.
So, does anyone have any information on how to "turn on" the iphone line-out? I would guess I need to drive some pin on the dock connector, which will signal the iphone that an accessory is connected, but I have not been able to find any information about this. Are there any documents for developers designing devices for the iphone that might be able to answer this question?
Thanks,
Alex

SendStation has released a revised version of its PocketDock Line Out USB some time ago, which is now also compatible with the iPhone: Line Out + Sync & Charge via USB.
