Play iphone 4 on surround system w/o aux input

Anyone happens to know how to play my iphone on my surround system, provided that my systems (and most system) dont have an aux input? I can buy the dock system for ipod/iphone, but that cost $100, any ideas?

but can you explain why would having dock matter?
Sure. On the back of the dock is what's called an audio line out jack which looks the same as the headphone jack on the phone, but behaves differently.
The line out jack sends a consistent line level signal to the speaker system that is unaffected by the volume control on the phone. When using it you'll use the volume control on your speaker system to control volume.
Connecting in this way well help insure the best quality sound from your speaker system.

How to plug a 5.1 surround system on a imac

Hello,
i have a mac 24' and a medion 5.1 surround system.
the problem is that exually i don't now how to plug in in my mac?!
i'v red about the Griffin Firewave (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/firewave) but they say it doesn't work anymore with Snow Leopard.
Does anyone have a product to solve this problem?
Thanks for any solutions!
(sorry for my bad English, I'm from the netherlands you know)

If your surround system has an optical input, you can just plug it into the audio out socket (you will need a converter lead which has a mini-TOSlink plug at the computer end) - the socket is dual function, giving analogue audio when a 3.5mm jack is plugged in and digital out when a mini-TOSlink jack is plugged in. You will only get stereo out unless you find a program - such as certain games - which can provide a Dolby Digital 5.1 output.
If your surround system has only analogue inputs you will need a converter, probably FireWire: a Google search should throw some up but you will need to check for compatibility before parting with any money.

If the new appletv doesnt support analog how do you run zone 2 on surround systems?

if the new appletv doesnt support an analog signal to send to zone 2 on a surround system what i am supposed to do now? i have been using the first gen appletv for many years with no trouble. NOW WHAT? apple has finally screwed up!

Use a Digital to Analog Audio Converter like this one from MonoPrice. It won't play 5.1 audio but stereo tracks should convert just fine.

Play music through my surround sound

Can I play music through my surround sound from my Galaxy S5. On my Motorola Razr I had a micro HDMI port that I used to mirror my phone screen and listen to music on my TV and surround sound system. Can my Galaxy S5 do this? Do I need an adapter and what is the model # I would need?

there's an adapter walmart carrys it either in store or online its made by ONN it plugs into your charging port and converts it to a full size hdmi. ONN makes them for a few different kinds of phones so make sure you get the galaxy s5 1

Itunes won't play anymore through external sound system

My mac functions as a Protools recording studio. The hardware (a Digi002 system) attaches to my G5 by firewire. Until recently, itunes worked just fine playing through this external system. I'd simply go to system preferences, change the sound inputs and outputs to Digi002.
These days I can still get all of my pro music software to play through this external Digi002 system. But something has gone amiss with itunes. It doesn't matter if itunes is already open, or not yet open. If I go to sound preferences and switch it to DIGI002, itunes ONLY plays through my internal compouter speaker. And if i go back to the sound preferences, i find that the external audio choice had been unchecked, as if by some function within itunes itself.
i have asked this same question on the Protools forum. Respondees give mixed answers, but basically say, yes it used to work, and no, it no longer works. Some say it WILL work, but you have to fire up your sound system BEFORE you turn on your computer. That is a totally disfunctional "solution" for my situation. Who wants to keep a sound system on all day long, when I may not use it for several hours at a time?
So what's going on here? And what did I install that made itunes suddenly not function with my external system? I strongly suspect it may be some newer version of itunes itself. If so, is there some workaround utility that will let me re-connect itunes to the Digi system? any help is appreciated.

Hate to do this, but we've gotta start with the simple **** first, and work our way up. The volume control in iTunes isn't turned down, is it?
Aside from that, you should launch Quicktime Player, go to File - Open, and open one of your iTunes songs in that, and see if you can hear sound there.

Can not open iCloud on MBP? Want to PhotoShare. Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone?

Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again? Suggestions?

Now I have to get my sign-in for mobileme to be the same as my sign-in for Itunes, etc. so I have only one Apple ID!
You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

How do I get my new iPod Touch 64 Gb to play music through my stereo system

As a newbie owner of an iPod Touch 64GB I am trying to figure out how to get music on my Touch to play through my home stereo system. Is there a way to use the output from the Touch via the earphone plug to input to a stereo pre-amplifier to play my music.
Thanks for your help in advance.
PS I realize that I could purchase an Airport Express base station and do it wirelessly.

File dates of files copied from my iphone to my XP system are realy off!

Whenever a file is copied from my iPhone to my XP System via iTunes copy purchases, Sync, Etc... the file date of files copied are realy wrong! Extremely old dates are used insted of the actual date. In windows XP the file list can display three dates, The Created Date, The Modified Date and the Last Accessed Date. I think it's the accessed date thats coming up wrong. Anyone else experience this? or can anyone explain what might cause this.
Thanks!

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

TS4003 if I am running a mac OS x that is lower than 10.7.2, is there any way to publich my iweb site to icloud (I have an iphone that meets the system requirements)?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might considerDropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)
So it won't matter whether you have Snow Leopard or Lion, you will not be able to upload your website to iCloud.

Audigy 4 and digital NAD L70 surround system - No surround?

Hi guys and girls.
I have a fine Audigy 4 sound card and an even more fine NAD L70 A/V surround system (DVD player and mid-powered surround amplifier - The baby brother of this one: http://www.nadelectronics.com/av_rec...73_framset.htm ).
I have 4 speakers connected to the L70, 2 front and 2 rear.
My problem is, that I cannot get any sound out of the rear speakers, when testing e.g. the Creative Speaker Calibrator.
I've connected the computer to the L70 via the Digital Out on the Audigy 4 and the Digital Coaxial In on the L70.
I've set the Input Selector to Cable/Sat.
I've set the Speaker Configuration to
- Front: Large
- Center: None
- Surr: Large
- Sub: None
I've set the Creative Speaker Settings to "4/4.1 Speakers".
Where am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to set up to work correctly?
And why cant I find a "Digital Out Only" button as with my old SB Live! 5.1
I've tried several (all?) possible combinations on the computer side and on the amplifier side, with no help.
I can get music from the computer to go to all speakers by switching between the surround modes on the L70.
Has anyone tried anything like this?
Very best regards
Svend Koustrup / eSKape

Lex,
The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).
