Output sound to multiple devices without delay

Hi there
I'm using Audio MIDI Setup on my 27" iMac running Mavericks to ouput sound to 2 devices (both iMac speakers and a Big Jambox, a bluetooth speaker), it works but with some latency. I tried drif correction in Audio MIDI Setup but doesn't change a thing.
How can I output sound to multiple devices without the latency issue ? I'm pretty sure that's possible. Maybe with a 3rd party software?
Thanks

I am not sure how I would do this if I am using Airplay as one output and hard plug for Computer speakers as the second output. The bosie system is in another room (why airplay) and the computer speakers are in a different room. Thanks for the reply.

How can my iMac output sound to 2 devices?

I am trying to record to my Elgato Game Capture HD and use my Turtlebeach DXL1 to listen, but I can only output sound to one or the other. Please help!

5.1 Surround sound on multiple devices problem

Ok, heres my scenario:
I recently bought a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers, for my iMac, MacBook and PS3. How would I go about connecting these devices to the speakers.
My speakers have that weird 3 cable input on the subwoofer (yellow, black and green 3.5mm sockets), and I have 3 3.5mm jack cables to go with it.
Obviously the iMac only has 1 3.5mm jack output, so how would I go about connecting this?
Then theres my Macbook Pro, again same problem, 1 3.5mm jack, but I need a way to then connect my iMac and Macbook to the speakers without having to keep switching the cables around.
Then finally theres my PS3, which is connected to a monitor via HDMI, there is not other outputs apart from a headphone jack from the monitor, and then the optical out on the back of the system (which I have never really used before).
I would not like to spend too much, but I must have all 3 of these machines connected, without having to rearrange cables every time I use a different machine.
Thanks in advance.
PS. If possible, I would also like to have en extra audio input, just incase I need to plug my iPhone in too.

It depends upon what you wish to do with the 5.1. Most output related uses require 3rd party software as there is no native support for 5.1 in OS X.
A Google search will find you a lot of info on the subject. Searching these communities will also find a lot of useful info.

For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps... I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
Thank you for your help!

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

Can I display my iBook on multiple iPads without publishing?

This is a bit of a rushed query and I'm sure I could find the answer elsewhere if I had the time to look, so I appologise if this is an obvious one...
Essentially, I have a client who wants an iBook to support a presentation she's giving. I'm to create a document that will then be installed on several ipads to be handed round. Before I commit to do it, I'd like to know if once I've created the iBook, whether I can then install it on multiple devices without having to publish it or submit it to Apple, or any other such nonsense?
Cheers
Andy

Yes - Use iBA's Share/Export menu to output an .ibooks file, then hand it off/email it to those users and/or upload it to a server or perhaps DropBox.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5071?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - Publishing & Distribution FAQ for iBA.

FaceTime: One apple ID, multiple devices

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve this dilemma. I have one apple ID that's signed on for multiple devices (iMac, iPad and my iPhone 4). And I'm having tough time trying to figure out how to call from one device to another. For example, from my iPad (when I'm on the road) to my iMac (at home). How do I set that up?
Thank you in advance.
Best,
M.

When you sign into facetime or imessage you can specify a unique email for that device, this becomes the facetime or imessage id for that device.
Hense multiple id's per device, certain id's can be used over multiple devices without any issues. For example settings, itunes, and then sign in with all the same itunes id.
An apple id has a sub heading
icloud
imessage
facetime
gamecentre
itunes
each can have there own unique email address (id) and each one can be signed out and signed into with a different email address by going through settings, then the app you want.

Change Output Sound Device

Is there anyway to change the output sound device in iTunes without going through System Preference?
I have an iMac with built-in Speakers, and a 5.1 Griffin Firewave over Firewire. I want my music to come through my external speakers but I don't need my system sounds to come through those, right now I can only change it through System preference and haven't found a way to divide them up.
This is do-able in the Apple DVD Player... any thoughts for this function in iTunes? Is there some place I can put this in a suggestion box if it's not already a function?

It is a great pity you are using Leopard. Up until Tiger there was a great little free app called Detour that let you assign separate audio channels for different apps. You could Google "Detour" and see if there is another utility that will work for Leopard?
There is also an app Soundflowerbed that lets you route the output from one program and port it into another. Unfortunately, those programs must have 'audio channel recognition' (not a technical term - I just mean that they must be able to take an input and deliver an output, e.g. like GarageBand). iTunes doesn't.

HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

Thank you again for your time, GB.
I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year). When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing. So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID. When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted.
So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested. Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine. However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem: Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear. Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see. UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup? Would that work?
Thanks.

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

Can I sign in with multiple apple IDs in a single apple device without deleting my previous one?

can I sign in with multiple apple IDs in a single apple device without deleting my previous one?

Hi swagyoloswag,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are several different services that require signing into an Apple ID to use on your iOS device. You can sign into different Apple IDs for different services on your iPhone. For example, Apple ID #1 for iCloud and Apple ID #2 for iTunes & App Store. You cannot sign into the same service with two different Apple IDs at the same time. The attached article has a list of services that are accessible with your Apple ID.

Is there a way to send and receive SMS on multiple cellular devices without using iMessage?

I currently own a cellular iPad mini and an iPhone 4s and would like SMS to be the same on both devices as well as my desktop.
After many months of struggling with iMessage, I decided to turn it off entirely. I discovered that my best friend did not receive dozens of my texts over the span of a few months (I compared our message history side by side). Seems like it had something to do with traveling in and out of wifi zones or possibly conflicts between our two carriers, ATT and Verizon. Regardless, I am not willing to dive into iMessage fully until this gets sorted out. Further, SMS is the standard message format for everyone outside of the Apple sphere, and I do not feel comfortable lumping them together into one app. If I decide to switch to Android, will all of my contacts with iPhones continue sending me iMessages?
Thank you for your help!

Search the iTunes App Store for any 3rd party SMS apps that may be available.

Android phones don't receive iMessages, they can recieve SMS messages sent through the iOS Messages app. The app that your contacts choose to use to send you messages is completely up to them.

Device Isn't showing up under output sound

the device i want to use under output sound in my music settings isn't showing up although the device is plugged it and on. They are water dancing speakers and are together and plugged into the USB and are lighting up so they're on. When I go to system preferences, I click output sound and they still aren't there for me to click. I have tried this process in both USB slots

How do I access my music in iTunes without downloading? I want to hear the music not save it on multiple devices...

Thanks, I tried that. It shows me only the songs i purchased and just gives me a snippet of the song. After much more reading and a phone call, it looks like Match will stream all the songs in my iTunes account without having to download them, but of course for a fee :( Thanks though.

Sound output jack has stopped sending sound to remote devices

The output jack no longer stops the embedded speakers from playing music files. I used it to send sound files to my headphones and stereo system and will be lost if I can't get the jack working again. Somene, please bail me out of this no sound to external devices scenario. Many thanx for checking this request out.
