Looking for a simple audio reciever for my Airport Express!

Im looking for a very simple audio receiver.
I dont need a ton of bells and whistles. I just need a small receiver I can plug my Airport Express into, and then some speakers from it.
I dont need multi things like DVD, AUX, TAPE, CD, TV and all of that. I just need one... Dont need AM/FM... just a box to plug to airport express, to some speakers, on/off switch, audio up/down....
I am basically going to put airport expresses all over my house, then find this audio receiver I am describing, hook speakers to it and call it a day.
Does anyone have ideas for this? I have checked the major electronics stores and I am not able to find anything that is this small and subtle.
Any ideas would be great! THANK YOU

I have these for my office

Sound is very good and they look kewl but expensive.

Looking for a simple drawing application for my grand-daughters

Well, that's more or less it, I'm looking for a simple drawing application for my grand-daughters. In the children section of iTunes store, there's only a few books and nothing more. I bought the iPad mainly for my grand-children to teach them a bit and I don't find interesting things for them.
Can anybody help me with that?

Brushes is a nice finger drawing app. Since you didn't say how old they are, I don't know if the interface is to difficult for them to use.
Sketchbook is another nice drawing app.
Neither are free.

I'm looking for a simple Notebook template for Pages. Any help?

I'm looking for a simple "notebook" looking journal that can be used in Pages. This can also be a journal that has dates; actually, that is preferable, but just a notebook is a minimally satisfactory template.

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

Hi,
"Dolby Advanced Audio v2 is designed into select PC models and is not available for direct purchase or download. Our experts work with PC manufacturers to custom-tune each model for the best possible audio performance." that means it's built-in to the audio driver on your machine. Please try the following driver for Windows 8 & 8.1 64bit:

Found a fix for printing from Mac and PC using Airport Express!

I hope this helps somebody else because it's taken me hours and hours of frustration to trip over this solution. I have a MacBook, Airport Express and a Windows XP PC. Internet worked fine but I could not print form the PC via airport. I tied all the various links from iFelix (thanks to him for what sure seems like a lot of work to help others) but they didn't work. Here's what did...
To setup a printer using the Bonjour Printer Wizard:
1. Download the Bonjour for Windows installation package from the
Apple site http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/.
2. Install Bonjour for Windows by launching the BonjourSetup.exe file from the folder where place it was downloaded.
3. Start the Bonjour Printer Wizard either by clicking its icon on the desktop or by selecting Start -> Programs -> Bonjour -> Bonjour Printer Wizard.
4. Follow the installation steps until the Install Bonjour Printer screen appears.
5. In the Install Bonjour Printer screen, select Generic in the Manufacturer list and then Generic / Postscript in the Model list. This step is the same for any printer model you have.
6. Follow the rest of installation steps.
The key is the Generic and Generic/Postscript settings. I also set up the Parallels program on my Mac. These instructions come from their documentation. It's the only thing I've found that works. Hope it helps some of you!

Request for advice - problem networking mac mini without airport express

Hi - grateful for any help on this one.
I've just upgraded from an original (May '05) mac mini to a new 20" G5 (intel dual core) which I've set up on a wireless (airport express) network. The new machine and network are working fine but I've been trying to set up the old mac mini in a different room as a second machine for work and have been having problems.
The mac mini is the basic version without airport/bluetooth. After some mix up at the Apple Store over retro fitting an airport express the genius I spoke to recommended getting a D-link USB wireless adapter. I bought a D-link DWL-122 installed it (and after a crash course in the difference between WPA and WEP) got it running okay on the network. Unfortunately the D-link driver software appeared to wipe out the Spotlight index and stopped my HP printer being recognised. A couple of bulletin boards I googled suggested this was a common problem but I haven't been able to find any with a solution. In the end I had to wipe the hard drive and re-install from scratch to get the printer and spotlight working again.
So I have two questions: is there a way to make the D-link work (the d-link website has no faqs, update drivers or other info about Mac bugs) or, if not, then what should I buy instead to access my wireless network reliably? Would I be better getting something that plugged straight into the mac mini's ethernet port? If so, what? And grateful for any recommendations about which products and their software are most reliable.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank you!
Chris

Hi,
You should of been able to use the Airport Express to solve the issue you are having. The Airport Express (small white brick shaped) is designed to work as a stand alone router or as a wireless extension to an existing wireless network.
So the setup would be from the mini as follows:
Mac Mini ---> Airport Express (AirPort Express Extends wireless connectivity) ---> Wireless Router (Airport Extreme, etc) ----> Cable/DSL Modem.
Hope that helps.

Help for a future first time Macintosh and Airport express buyer

I'm planning on buying a Macbook (my first Macintosh) and am also interested in buying an Airport express mainly for the ability to stream music to my home stereo. My question is regarding the best and easiest way to incorporate this into the setup I already have.
I currently have verizon DSL (PPPoE) with my DSL modem connected to a wireless Linksys 802.11b router which is attached by ethernet cable to a Dell desktop. I have a PC laptop that I connect to the network by wireless card.
My main goals are to to be able to share files, a printer, and be able to stream music from my desktop PC (where all my music is stored) to my home stereo. To do that, can I just swap the Linksys router with the airport express? Or should I leave the setup that I have and just connect the airport express to my stereo system?
I appreciate any advice you can provide. Thanks.

Since the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) only has one Ethernet port, you won't be able to swap it for the Linksys router and still provide wired access to your Dell desktop.
The least expensive route would be to keep your current network configuration as is, except add the AX as a wireless client to provide sharing your USB printer and to stream iTunes. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153)
A better route (for performance) would be to swap your Linksys for an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and, again, use the AX as either a wireless client or extend your wireless network so that you can have Internet connectivity in another room in the house. The AEBS (like the AX) uses the 802.11g standard.

Best Router with DSL Modem for use with AT&T DSL and Airport Express?

I recently had my old 2WIRE from AT&T DSL service die, so purchased a new 2WIRE 2701HG-B. My old 2WIRE worked with my Airport Express, which is hooked up to my DVR for DirecTV use. The new 2WIRE apparently is not compatible with the Airport Express, so I returned it and purchased a NetGear Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL modem. While this one does work with the Airport Express setup, it runs very slow. This router has mediocre reviews, so I'd like to find a better one.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for a Router w Modem that would work best with my AT&T DSL and Airport Express (802.11n) within the $100 - $150 price range. Thanks!

Configure the Express as a bridge: Connect via "Ethernet", and set Connection Sharing to "off (bridge mode)".
The switches ought not to be a problem, and I don't know why your router froze. The Express is simply another wired client, just like a computer might be.
do I turn off DHCP on the router,
No. Something has to provide routing functions so leave the Linksys alone.

Airport Utility for Windows 5.3.1 cannot access Airport Express

I am trying to configure an AX newer model and continually get an error. The AX has a flashing amber light, due to the fact that I have reset it to factory defaults. I am able to connect to the internet, even though my connection icon in XP says I'm disconnected. I open the Airport Utility and it detects the AX, when I go to configure manually it runs through some progress bars and the gives me the following error:
"An error occured while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again"
"error: -4"
I have version 5.3.1.9 installed of the utility, i tried to use 4.2, but it wouldn't recognize my device, said i had to use a version higher than 5.0 to detect my device. I tried with version 5.2 and no luck either, please help!!!
Only Windows PCs at home, sorry!

I've had a similar problem with Airport Express(not Extreme)and received exactly the same error message as the original poster "error: -4".
My system is a desktop running xp pro, Service Pack 2 (fully updated), Athlon 64 3000+.
I installed the Airport utility 5.3.1. It recognised airport express, which was plugged in and flashing amber. But when I pressed 'continue' to set up the connection, it came up with the above error message repeatedly whether I connect to the router wirelessly or with an ethernet cable- makes no difference. The router is a Thompson Speedtouch 780. An Apple senior analyst talk me through different permutations of connecting the AE directly to the computer etc, doing numerous resets but all to no avail. Looks like I'll be returning it. Shame!

Can I stream videos using airplay to appletv2 and play the audio thru stereo using airport express?

I have apple tv 2 connected to my HDTV. I am streaming VEVO videos from iphone to ATV2. Would like to play the audio through my sony stereo. Would love to do it wirelessly if possible. Can this be done? Would airport express connected to stereo make this possible? If not what are my options.

The only input ports I have on the stereo is a dmport, auxillary and headphone jacks. I really would like to do this wireless. If, instead of appletv2, I had google tv which VEVO uses could the airport express be used? Seems like I recall reading somewhere that using 2 of them created a wireless connection for audio. Is that right?
Thanks for any advice.

Negligible audio from remote speakers - airport express

i've got a remote problem i just can't figure out.
i have been running my itunes through my home stereo system via my airport express. besides some inconsistent rebuffering problems, everything has run fine for about a month. about a week ago, i removed the ethernet cable to the airport for a while and then reinserted. my internet connection continues to work fine, but now i cannot play my itunes through my stereo receiver. if i turn my itunes volume onto full and my receiver to half volume, i can get some volume out of it, but negligible. at this volume, i should be blowing out the windows. i have tried re-starting my express, different audio input channels, new rca to mini-jack cable, a different stereo system, going through my airport admin and itunes preferences, running other equipment through the receiver (to ensure the receiver is working fine - it does) and nothing has resolved the issue.
if anyone can offer some advice, i'd appreciate it. this very well might drive me insane.

Hi King Paul,
Airtunes dropping out? What do you have " Streaming Buffer Size " set to? I have mine set at medium.

Audio stream to an Airport Express fails.

Audio stream (sent by Itunes, Ipad, Iphones, Ipod....) to an Airport Express satellite works some seconds, then cuts then stops. It worked well for a couple of months than problems rised. Any solution?

I'd like to put an AE upstairs so I can use AirPlay from my Mac to both the downstairs AppleTV and the upstairs Airport Express at the same time.
The AirPort Express will work for this if it can receive a good quality wireless signal where it will be located.
Also, I'd like the Airport Express to act as a Wi-Fi Network extender for the O2 router that's downstairs.
The "extend" feature appears to be a proprietary function with Apple products. It is extremely unlikely that it will work with the O2 router. As far as we know, this feature only works among Apple products.
