Need advice for wireless iTunes access (have router already)

I'm having a hard time sifting through all the info to find the best solution. I have a MacBook Pro that I'll soon be upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, as well as an iPhone, with a second iPhone soon to enter the family. We also plan to get an iPad. We actually have an older iMac that we won't be upgrading, so we're going to move our iTunes library from the iMac over to the MacBook (basically turning the MacBook into our primary computer). We want to be able to play iTunes without having to keep the MacBook plugged into wired speakers. That seems a bit pointless.
We have a wireless router already (a D-Link), so I don't need AirPort Express to act as a router. (We have a 1 bedroom condo, really no reason to extend the network or anything like that.) We have a printer that works wirelessly with the MacBook already. All I'm really trying to figure out is the best way to set it up so that we can have iTunes on the MacBook, playing over speakers (either the ones we currently have our iMac plugged into, or our stereo speakers that we have our TV setup with). Ideally if we could do the same from the iPhone and (future) iPad, that would be great, too.
Does it make any sense for us to get an AirPort Express to do this, or would it just be more straightforward to get wireless speakers that can work over Bluetooth (like the Creative D200 ones in the Apple store)? I feel like the AirPort has the potential to be overkill for our usage, especially since I can't seem to figure out if you can use AirTunes with an iPad, and we don't need it for the wireless printing functions.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Leo! Yeah, I was confused about the 2500 series too because they push the Flex 7500 so much as the "real" solution.
Now that I'm looking in the right spot, it looks like NCS Prime Infrastructure is for the serious folks and we could probably get away without it, right? So that would leave the access points, the controller, and the basic network stuff.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

    hi,
    i have dowloaded the app "remote" to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes library, i have turned on home shareing on my laptop. they dont seem to be talking to each other. i have also tried the other way of adding a library on my iphone, but my laptop wont show my phone on the devices list.
    anyhelp would be apreciated

    Turn off home sharing, you don't need that. Open Itunes Preferences from the computer. Go to the devices section. At the bottom you will see the option to add a remote access that and follow the steps.

  • DMZ Anchor WLC setup for Wireless Guest Access

    I have the following setup.
    A DMZ WLC 4402 connected to firewall DMZ interface in 10.10.73.0/24 network.
    An Inside WLC 2106 connected to firewall Inside interface in 10.10.71.0/24 network.
    Both WLCs are running the same 4.2.176 code.
    DMZ WLC is anchor to itself and Inside WLC select the DMZ WLC as the anchor point.
    I have setup EoIP between DMZ and Inside WLCs successfully with both the control and data path both show as UP status. >> "show mobility anchor"
    The main issue: Clients cannot obtain IP addresses after connected to Guest SSID.
    1. Inside WLC, the guest WLAN ingress is 802.11b/g radio and egress port is set to management interface (EoIP) of type WLAN.
    What is the DMZ WLC setting? Is the ingress set to "802.11b/g" which does not make sense because the ingress is EoIP from Inside WLC?
    Or I still set as 802.11b/g? Same config as Inside WLC? I read from other threads suggested by Terry that the config must be the same for both WLCs.
    In the Inside WLC, I saw alot of pdu encapsulation errors for broadcast packets which is ffff.ffff.ffff xxxx which I think is the DHCP request from the connected Wireless clients not making through the EoIP tunnel. I have set static ip for the Wireless client but the packets cannot route through the EoIP tunnel to the far end.
    2. DHCP server is provided by DMZ WLC with the scope 10.10.76.0/24. In the Inside WLC, which DHCP server IP adddress to set to? DMZ WLC mgmt ip address? DMZ WLC, the DHCP server is also set to DMZ WLC mgmt ip?
    3. Layer 2 authentication. I read that DMZ WLC is supposed to be the DHCP server, Layer 2 or 3 authentication for Wireless Clients. However, it seems like Inside WLC is required to configure the Layer 2 authentication parameters and the DMZ WLC is set to providing the DHCP service?
    4. Lastly, anyone has done DMZ WLC sending the Wireless clients traffic to Bluecoat proxy server before hitting the Internet?
    Thanks.

    One of the biggest things is to make sure the wlan is configured exactly the same. The DMZ WLC ingress is the management and also is the egress port. You can create a dynamic interface on the DMZ WLC, but this way makes thing easier. The DMZ WLC should provide the dhcp, so the dhcp scope of course will be on the same subnet as the management of the DMZ WLC. The DHCP Server will be the ip address of the management interface of the DMZ WLC. The authentication also has to be configured exactly the same on the inside wlc and the DMZ wlc. Since you are pushing clients through the tunnel to the DMZ WLC, that is where clients will need to get their ip address, since that DMZ WLC has a network interface to the guest network. I haven't had luck when a proxy is involved, but I know there was a post a while ago on how to setup the proxy to allow the wlc to bypass the users initial dns resolution.

  • Need advice for escalating warranty repair

    hi all,
    around easter I noticed my daughters 2007 C2D macbook(white) developing hairline cracks in the backcase near three stress points, near the tabs on both sides that hold it off the topcase and in the middle from constant opening of the machine. the local genius said applecare would cover it but she needed it for school so I delayed sending it in. My Bad. She comes home with a chip in the topcase and about 12-14 dead pixels in the display. Sent it off for repair and Apple said the screen showed signs of abuse( not completely out of the question) due to one section that seems to have been "bruised" and is leaking. Unless she or a spurned lover took an icepick to the screen I don't see how she caused over a dozen pixels scattered all over the display to fail but I am not an engineer. The problem is they will not perform the case repair unless I agree to the $800 LCD replacement. The reason being they can't perform a partial repair. The way I heard it is until I replace the LCD at my expense apple in unable to do any warranty repairs and i have 14 Months of Applecare left. My local apple store is closed for renovations or I would go there where they recognize me for advice. Powerbook Medic quotes $250 for screen replacement. should I do that and then resubmit the machine to Apple for case repair? Is there a Phone number for customer service other than tech support I could try to escalate this case with? The only one I see is the Apple Store CS for orders and such. Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?
    Thanks,
    Frank

  • Need advice for installing flex application in touch screen Kiosks

    Hello,
    We have a requirement in one of our project to create touch screen interfaces and I am intending to user Adobe Flex for the development and run them in Adobe Air because, definitely it saves development time and great look and feel.
    However, I need advice on how to connect the application to a touch screen events like we do on  Keyborad and mouse events like, click() or onFocus etc.
    Please advice.
    Best Regards,
    Jai Kishan Shah

    Bar Code Scanners are no different than keyboards in my experience.  It just sends the text to whatever application is open. Integrating it with Flex requires no effort.  You just have to be sure that Flex is the current application and the field you want to put the data in is given focus.
    In a point of sale application with very specific use case and limited interface, it is easy to force the app to give focus to the input field that needs to accept your input.
    Credit card swipers work the same way.
    I don't know about a weighing scale, but I bet it is very similar.  If not, you may want to use Java for scale integration and then use Merapi to integrate with the Java applet.

  • How do i set up my hp c4360 for wireless if the printer is already installed???

    hi
    How do I set up my hp c4360 photosmart for wireless, asi tis already installed on my Dell laptp xps,
    I put the installation disc in and it says printer already installed, I have a linksys wireless router
     I didnt have the patience to figure this out but its getting to be a pain to drag the laptop to the printer every time I need something printed. I am not real savvy with technical things, the Comcast guy setup my wireless router for me so i am hopin this won't be too complicated
    thanks

    Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address.
    1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
    8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
    9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
    10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
    11. Click "Next"
    12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Need advice on Wireless Router purchase.

    I need some quick advice on purchase of a wireless router. I will be also needing to use a network switch to increase the available # of wired ports, as we currently have four wired devices (3 computers, one newish iMac and two older Macs, and a blue ray player, and we will be adding a Wi console to the wired network soon too). The wireless is mostly for a year old laptop. We are currently using a 5 year old at least Linksys wired router. Security is not an issue as far as others sneaking in to the network, I think, as my nearest neighbor is maybe a mile away (pretty rural here).
    Would it be best to buy an Airport Extreme base station, or can I do better, and/or save some money with another router?
    Thanks

    I will likely connect our printers either via an ethernet cable or via USB.
    For reference, the AirPort Extreme can share a printer connected to it by USB. It can also work with printers attached to one of its Ethernet ports. However, for the latter, the printer would need to be network-ready (meaning it has a built-in feature for sharing.)
    As for 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, I don't know the difference.
    The most important thing about bands is how they compare on speed vs. distance. The higher the frequency, the higher the potential speed, but at the cost of distance ... and vice versa for the lower frequency band.
    Using the AirPort Extreme as an example, with a wireless client (capable of accessing either band), it will experience the best speed-related performance close (within the same room) on the 5 GHz but will most likely only connect on the 2.4 GHz band when in another room.
    Also, I am concerned about firewall protection, from pinging or whatever, but I lack technical knowledge of it. I essentially would like our home network to be secure from incoming pings or attacks.
    The AirPorts are very easy to set up. They pretty much run right out of the box. They offer very good security but they are not "commercial-grade" ... meaning they offer only a certain level of protection. However; note that increased protection typically comes with more complexity and maybe more difficult to configure.

  • Need advice for an application that restricts access to other applications using a smart card

    Hello everybody,
    I am developing a system that uses a smart card reader attached to a USB port of a PC.
    What the system should provide is:
    When computer boots up and shows the users login screen, a user, previously registered, can use his smart card to access the system, instead of entering his password
    Once the user is logged in, when he tries to launch an application, which has previously marked as "secured", a dialog box is shown indicating that the user has to present his smart card. If the smart card has access to the application, the application
    is launched, otherwise an error message is shown to the user and the application is not executed.
    I develop in C++ and C#. I have already created a library (in Visual C++) that manages the smart card reader and provides the card presented to it.
    Now I am developing the applicastion (in C#) that will configure the security (assigning cards to users and applications).
    Concerning this, I have 2 questions regarding each point above:
    Is it possible to create the centralized application that lists all users and allows to assign cards to them? Then, when the users login screen is shown, the system must access that data before logging in, so that it can check which card was presented and
    what user it corresponds to. I have seen in laptops, that have embedded fingerprint readers, a user must login to his account first and then he can register his fingerprints. In fact, what I need to do is something similar but with smart card reader instead
    of fingerprint reader. So, perhaps, user must login into his account first and then he will be able to add his card and store that information somewhere (in windows registry maybe).
    How can I launch my application when other application is executed but before its interface is actually shown? this is similar to what antivirus programs do, because they check the executable before it is actually ran. What is the best method to address
    the application? by executable file name? process name? or other? if the best is by process name, how can I know the process name without actually running the application?
    Well, that is all what I need to do. Please advice regarding this subject.
    I look forward to hearing from you,
    Best regards,
    Jaime

    > what was the guidance?
    1. Research other software that does similar things (not just exactly the same) as you need. If you like something in their solutions, copy it :)
    The only software I know that does that is an antivirus, but I am unlucky to find some code in c++ that allows to intercept the program execution before actually executing it.
    2. If a kernel driver would fit in your solution, go for it (google for what is available for free, or find a consultant to write it for you).
    There are a lot of information about kernel drivers, but the question is, is that really the solution?
    Otherwise, you can just hide the application from user's reach and substitute the executable in shortcuts, etc. to run your program instead.
    Definetly this is not the way to go
    What is the best method to address the application? by executable file name? process name? or other?
    By executable file name, like in the Windows Applocker, I think. Processes do not have names (they are artifact of Task manager and debugging tools, to represent the processes for user somehow). Or, only by the filename part of the full path.
    I agree with that
    if the best is by process name, how can I know the process name without actually running the application?
    When the user runs the application, the driver will detect this and do its magic.
    I have found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3556048/how-to-detect-win32-process-creation-termination-in-c. They mention WMI, but I will study it tommorow... it is so late for today :-)
