  • Cannot play music via Airport Express

    I have airport express (hereafter AE) and have been trying to make Deezer connect to the AE which is connected to a stereo receiver. The following happens. When I configure AE to "join existing network" (which is my wireless internet connection network, that is simply a DSL connection) Deezer cannot connect and stream music - in this case I have internet connection but no music stream. When I configure AE to "create a new network" Deezer can connect to AE and streams music - in this case I have no internet connection but music stream. What I am trying to have is both an internet connection and music stream. An suggestions for a solution? I also need to inform you that with iTunes I do not have a problem. When I configure AE as "join existing network" I can connect to the internet and iTunes can stream music. So I do not really understand where the problem lies.

  • HT4628 Intermittent reception when streaming music via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. Is this a problem with the Extreme?

    i get intermittent reception when I stream music from I Tunes via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. I Tunes continues to play uninterupted on the Mac.  The problem does not lie with the Express as it occurs on both of my 2 Express at the same time. is this a problem with the Extreme?

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • 2 Computers Cannot Access Internet Via Airport Extreme at the same time!

    I recently purchased two new computers -- a Macbook Pro (for myself) and a Macbook (for my wife). My Macbook Pro arrived first, and connected to the wireless network via Airport Extreme with no problem. Once my wife's computer arrived, and we would connect to the network with her computer, every time she accesses the network it basically "boots" my computer from the network. It still says I'm "connected" to it, but no programs/browsers/etc. that use the internet will actually work and it behaves as though there is no network connected at all. In the mean time, her Macbook continues to operate as normal and never seems to get "booted" by my Macbook Pro. Is the network thinking our two computers are the same computer? Or, what is the problem? PLEASE HELP!

    I have had the same problem with my iMac and MacBook, both on leopard and with a new AEBS. With the additional symptom that internet connection will drop on either machine individually, with the other powered off. I also tried a Time Capsule, with exactly the same results. But I have observed what is described here. Internet connection is fine on one machine, then drops and I find the other machine working for awhile, until it drops. Just ping-ponging back and forth.
    Since I am seeing the same problem in two new Macs with an AEBS and TC, it's hard to say that there a problem specifically with any one of them. I suspect that my problem is interference, or electrical noise when using 802.11n. The only thing that worked for me is "802.11b/g compatible" mode.
    In another post, it was suggested that the AEBS was interacting with Digital cable TV/internet, potentially causing an electrical noise issue. What kind of service to you have?

  • Can't play music via Airport Express

    I've successfully played music through Airport Express before, but for some reason I keep getting this error message now: There are no speakers connected to the Aiport Device "Living Room".
    I have connected Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer connected to the Airport, but it must not be recognizing the connection. I believe I have it correctly set up on the computer end...any thoughts?

    Are these speakers USB or are they connected with the 1/8" audio jack? What is your setup from pluging the audio speakers and the subwoofer?

  • Play music from Airport Extreme to iPhone without open Macbook?

    I recently bought the new Airport Extreme and placed my iTunes library on an external drive which I connected to the airport. Is it possible to play the music in the iTunes library on my iPhone 4S, without having my Macbook Air turned on and iTunes open?

    Unfortunately, no. You still require an AirPlay "server" to stream the iTunes media from the AirPort Disk to the iPhone. Typically this server would be iTunes running on a host computer, like your MacBook Air.

  • Playing music via airport express with bair tunes???

    It runs through itunes on your computer. You use the remote app to control through itunes. Itunes needs to be running. Works great, I use it all the time.

  • ITunes Cannot Play Music

    Recently my computer just crashed and all my music files were deleted. I did have it backed up on my iPod nano. I have the new iTunes installed and Quicktime. That all works. I have updated my iPod. The music works on my Nano...but I can't play them on my computer. I don't know what to do. Please help me. I will try anything.

    Ahhhhhh... I think I see the problem. Did you convert the files to M4A by burn them to CD and re importing them? If not iTunes may not not play them. iTunes will refuse to play music files that it thinks were tampered with.
    I would give more details but the Apple monitors will just edit them out. If indeed you did use a program to "convert"
    iTunes Music Store files they try Googling for details on this.

  • Have a LAN (server) - want to connect to it via airport extreme - Pls help

    Need to connect to my office server via airport extreme

    Sorry, but it would be nearly impossible to help without a lot more information about both your network and your company's network in order to provide you with any useful assistance.
    For example:
    What model is your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)?
    How do you plan on connecting to your office server? VPN? Direct router-to-router connection over the Internet?
    What type of Internet service is at the office?
    Does the ISP provide the office router with a static or dynamic Public (WAN-side) IP address?
    What is the model of the Internet router used at the office?
    What service(s) do you want to access from the office server?

  • I can no longer connect to the internet via Airport Extreme.  HELP!

    Over the weekend my Macbook told me that my Airport extreme firmware needed to be updated, so I did that, now I have no internet connection from the Airport. I have no problem connecting to the Airport itself, but I have no actual internet connection. The connection is fine when I plug an ethernet cable directly into the computer.
    I really hope someone can help with this!

    Hi DaveX83 and welcome to the discussions.
    A few things to try.
    Press the reset button once on the back of your Extreme and let it restart. Check for proper operation.
    If no help there, keep the ethernet cable connected, and open Airport Utility. Click on Manual Setup near the bottom of the pane. On the next screen click the Airport icon at the upper left of the pane, then click Wireless in the line just below that reads Summary - Time Capsule - Wireless - Access.
    Check to see that your wireless is set up, security set up, passwords, etc. You may need to reconfigure your wireless settings again and update the Extreme to store them and restart.
    Hope this helps.

  • Playing music via car bluetooth

    I have a Mecedes Benz GLK250, my iphone 5s connects to the bluetooth and i'm able to make calls. However, it cannot play music via the bluetooth. Is there anything I can do?

    Hey MacSociety,
    This will not work.
    The iPhone supports bluetooth headsets and hands free car kits which allow you to make calls over bluetooth. It does not support stereo over bluetooth(A2DP.)
    This article will show you how to pair your iPhone with most cars.

  • Using iTunes to play music on two Airport Expresses simultaneously

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to set up a system where iTunes 7.0 on my Windows 2000 PC can play simultaneously to two Airport Expresses.
    I've set up the first AE (call it AE1) by connecting it to my LAN with an Ethernet cable; it appears in the Base Station Chooser and I can find it and set it up. I set it up to 'Create a wireless network' and check both boxes in the iTunes tab, and give it an iTunes speaker name. At this point, everything's happy: I can see AE1 in iTunes, and play music to the speakers, and my Nintendo Wii can even get to the internet using AE1. I've left AE1 plugged in to the network.
    Now the problem: I bought another Airport Express, call it AE2, and I want the new one to hook up to the existing network and let me play iTunes through the new one, as well. I connected AE2 to my LAN with ethernet and it showed up in the Base Station Chooser; I set it up to 'Join an Existing Wireless Network' and gave it the exact same Network Name: "Mike Home Network". I checked both checkboxes in the iTunes tab and gave the speakers a name. I then unhooked the ethernet, plugged in the speakers to AE2, and unplugged and replugged AE2 to restart it. The light flashes green, goes to yellow for a while, then goes solid green. (So I assume it found a network to hook up to.) iTunes shows the Multiple Speakers button, and I can pick AE1, but no sign of AE2.
    I restart iTunes, but it still can't find AE2. Some support suggests using the wizard, but I'm on 2000 so it's not supported.
    So my questions:
    * Can I verify somehow that AE2 hooked up to the network that AE1 created? Ping it or telnet to it or something? (I can ping AE1 just fine.)
    * Is 'Join an Existing Network' the right way to do this?
    (I also tried WDS with no success, but I may have done it wrong.)
    * AE1 is distributing IP addresses; AE2 is not. Is this correct?
    Access Control is turned off on both AE's.
    I have Wireless Security set to 'Off' on both.
    (I'll re-enable it once I get these two going.)
    They're about 20 feet apart.
    Wireless channel is 'Automatic' on both. (Also tried it with both on channel 8)
    Firmware on both AE's is 6.3
    Itunes is version 7
    Any suggestions? Anything at all, I'm absolutely stumped and this seems like it should be really straightforward....
      Windows 2000  

    Figured it out! thanks everyone for the help.
    In the end, I fixed it by turning off 'Distribute IP Addresses' on AE1.
    The problem was, if you want iTunes to find the wireless Airport Express, iTunes must be able to see the wireless AE's IP address. When AE1 was distributing IP addresses, it was performing NAT, which meant that iTunes on my PC could not distinguish between AE1 and AE2 behind it.
    This is not clear in any of the documentation; I can't be the first person to be confused by this.

  • ITunes Settings for Media on External Drive via Airport Extreme...

    iTunes Settings for Media on External Drive via Airport Extreme base station versus plugging directly into laptop.
    My current configuration is that my iTunes Media (700gb) are all stored in an External Drive that's plugged into my Airport Extreme Base Station. This works great for me having wireless access to my iTunes external drive.
    Whenever I need to back up that hard drive with Time Machine, I just plug it directly to my laptop...
    But how do I let iTunes (or iTunes library) know that this is the same hard drive where all my media is stored when it's plugged directly into the laptop as opposed to trying to access it from my Airport Extreme network?

    No there isnt any files call library in the folder i created I am now in the process of copying them back but I guess I will loose all my playlists and playcounts. I do have a Copy of my drive that i made with carbon copy cloner. So maybe it will be best to boot from there, restore and start again.
    Chris it was just the media folder. I was following the instructions on the apple support page. Got to point 14 didn't get the warning but did seen to have a brand new itunes, so emptied the trash as they said expecting everything to be fine but it wasnt.
