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.

  • How do I play music from iTunes on my iPhone 4

    I haven't downloaded all my iTunes music from the cloud to my phone yet, but do have one album and all the songs appear to be downloaded, but when I click the songs or the album nothing happens.  This phone is new to me so haven't tried to play music until now.  I looked at the manual online and did what it said, but not working.

    Are they not even starting to play or are they playing with no sound?
    Have you checked deggie's answer if you have the same Apple ID authorized on your iPhone as with which you bought the music (check in Settings -> Store)?
    I bought a couple of albums through iTunes before all songs had been available in the iTunes Plus versions.
    I am pretty sure that I have a couple of them on my iPhone 4 and they play very well.
    And I have not any of them upgraded to iTunes Plus yet.

    I want to transfer mp3 music files to my iphone 4 wihtout any calble from my pc.. is it possible and how?

    First install either ipod Agent on PC, this will run a small server program to transfer music from PC to iPhone. Connect mobile to pc via usb and create a folder called Music on sd card or phone storage, using usb storage method in wireless connections, not using Kies default.
    Right-click on iTunes Agent icon in system tray and choose preferemces. Click the Choose button and select the Music folder you created on the cpmputer Finally, right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray and select Synchronize devices to sync Music to your computer.
    If you have any question about using iPhone Transfer, feel free to ask me.

  • Hard drive on my MacBook, iTunes was not backed up. Purchases were recovered, but missing music is trapped on other devices (iPad, iPod & iPhone). Is there a way to transfer music from these devices (esp. iPhone & iPad) to MacBook?

    I had to replace my hard drive on my MacBook and iTunes was not backed up. All of our purchases were recovered, but we are missing music that we now have only on other devices (iPad, iPod and iPhone). Is there a way to recover music from these devices? Also, the missing music on the MacBook that is on the iPhone is greyed out so I can't play it. What's the deal? How can I change that?
    BTW- I am going to purchase an external hard drive to make sure this never happens again. I'm am also discovering other missing very valuable data. I'm considering investing in iMatch, too.

    Try PhoneView: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    iTunes Match is not a backup strategy. Do not rely upon it for disaster recovery. For that you need to use Time Machine or "clone" software.

  • AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    I'm having the same problem, even more:
    - Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
    - Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
    - A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
    - Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
    I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living  what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the  moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple  - it just works"...
    At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

  • How do i play music from my iphone on apple tv2

    Can i play music from my iphone4 through my apple tv2, my atv2 does not show my iphone, i have a home sharing network set up through my airport extreme.

I have gone into ipod settings on the phone and entered the home sharing details, is there anything else i need to do to enable it?,

  • Play music from itunes over wifi on iphone (as soundbridge to Hi-FI)

    Hey you all,
    is there a tool around to play music over wifi on the iphone?
    i have connected the iphone via the dockingstation to my hifi system.
    so i can listen to internet streams and so on without using a cable from macbook to my hifi system....
    but now i want to play all my music from itunes or another program on my iphone.
    hope you know what i want...
    i mean, the airport accesspoint can do so !?!?
    kind regards
    chris

    I am not aware of any utility which will stream music from iTunes to the iPhone.
    For what you are trying to accomplish, I would recommend the AirPort Express Base station in the Apple Store. A combination of this and the remote app for the iPhone would allow you to stream music to your HiFi system and use the iPhone as a controller - which I can say from personal experience is a very nice combination.

  • Playing music from PC to airport

    I am using my airport to play music from itunes. I have a good wifi connection, and both from my PC and laptop the sound very frequently stop for one or 2 seconds and resume after. My laptop is 1.7ghz centrino.
    Do you think my airport have a trouble ?
    Thanks

    Thanks.
    In between, I have made differents tries and the fact is that when I am using the airport directly as a single network it works without troubles, But when I join it to my existing network it take some bandwitch and slow the connection even if there is no activity on my existing network.

  • An app which plays music from the resume point just like videos for iphone 4

    Hi,
               I am using iPhone 4. I would like to get an app which plays music from the resume point just like what we are having for videos.
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Thanks for all of your responses
    I've been researching and trying different things and have yet to come up with a viable solution. I prefer to go the free route when I purchase my media streaming software, however, I don't mind paying to have something once I feel it works. I would also like to mention, I want a media server which streams media(music/video) to all of my devices(xbox360, Wii, PS3, Iphone).
    Here is my current configuration:
    Imac 20"( 2 GH intel core 2 duo, 4 gb memory, running ps3 Media Server)
    Apple Extreme Router
    Sony Vaio Laptop(winamp remote)
    My media has been produced by using my Imac with handbrake software(video) and Itunes for music.
    I have tried PS3 media server and it seems to work wirelessly with my xbox360 just fine, however, the PS3, Wii and Iphone are a different matter. I get errors on ps3("this video content cannot be played "(8002288d8). The Wii and iphone wont recognize PS3 Media Server.
    My windows PC(Sony Vaio-Windows 7) has software I've downloaded called WINAMP Remote which seems to do all I want except, my xbox, Wii, PS3 all work but the video quality stinks(digitized flickering, poor quality overall). The iphone app(Orb-Free) video has a great picture but stutters frequently and stops. Audio over 3g stutters(meaning I have to hit play very frequently cause it stops) also.
    All this being said, I still am searching for a media server which can stream seemlessly to any of my devices. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  • IOS7 (iPad or iPhone) can't play music over airport

    iOS7 (iPad or iPhone) can't play music over airport?  I don't see the little arro that let's me pick the airport for music to the audio system.

    New way of doing this is to sweep your finger up from the bottom of the iPhone screen; you see a sort of control panel with things like airplane mode, bluetooth etc across the top. And 3/4 of the way down the little arrow thing you used to see beside in "music" to choose the AirPlay or Base Station.
    Not exactly intuitive.

  • IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

    My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

    iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
    It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
    iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
    You may want to ask in the right forum.
