Playing tunes wirelessly from pc to hi-fi

I want to get an airport express to play tunes from my pc wirelessly on my hi-fi. I already have an existing wireless network, so don't need the 'express' to provide wireless internet etc, but what I need to know is do I have to plug anything into the ethernet port on the airport express. I ask this because my modem/wireless hub is downstairs and my hi-fi is upstairs. Any help appreciated.

...but what I need to know is do I have to plug anything into the ethernet port on the airport express.
No you do not.

Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

Yes, AUX in jack. Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible. For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA. The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in. Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out. I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from m

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out.
I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network. So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple. The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router? However its not connecting?? I am doing something wrong?
Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?

and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

Tunes wirelessly from iPad to stereo without using the PC?

Does AirPort Express allow me to play iTunes music from iPad wirelessly to stereo without using a PC? I have a wireless network already set up.

Dropbox will work, and as long as you can live within a 2GB limit, it is free. You only pay for dropbox (or box, sugarsync or one of the many others) if you need more than the default complementary storage space.

Playing music wirelessly from itunes using a Digital to Analogue Converter

Hi, i new here so bear with me!! I have an ideal setup I wish to have but wondered if it's at all possible with Apple hardware.
I have an extensive library on Itunes in Apple lossless format stored on an external hard drive and wish to stream it to my hifi using a DAC, the server needs to have either an optical and digital SPDIF coax output or 2 USB outlets which carry a digital audio output. Is this at all possible?
I don't wish to go down the Squeezebox route due to the format my library is in.
Many thanks.

You can use an airport express to stream your music from an iTunes library (or a iOS device)using airplay. Airport express has an optical digital output which is capable of 44.1/16 (CD quality is you have lossless files). I have it hooked to a musical fidelity dac and control playback through the apple remote application in my ipad. You can no distinguish in a/b comparisons with a good CD player, and my rig is quite high-end.
I know iTunes streams 44.1/16. Not sure on what's the quality of streaming from an iOS device. It does sound poorer to my ears, but...

Time machine and playing music wirelessly

I currently have a MacBook Pro and a iPhone and would like to back-up and print wirelessly as well as playing music wirelessly from my Mac and iPhone.
Am I right in thinking that I would be able to do this with both a Time Capsule (for the printing and back-up) and a AirPort Express (fot the music). The Time Capsule liked to the printer via USB and connected to my WiFi and my Mac would just back-up to this no problem. Then the AirPort Express is neeed as an interface between my speakers and mt Mac/iPhone, AirPort linked to speakers then I can just send music fom both my iPhone and Mac wirelessly to the AirPort to play through my speakers?
Also, if this is the case, is there any advantage the Time Capsule has to any other WiFi external hard drive?

Am I right in thinking that ..
Also, if this is the case, is there any advantage the Time Capsule has to any other WiFi external hard drive?
Yes, all your thinking is good, except the printer cannot be connected to the TC by USB.. it has to be a wireless printer that conforms to the airprint standard. That is if you want to natively print from iOS..
If that is not a concern then you can print to a USB printer but you need an app for your ios device.. like printopia.. there are several of them.
The advantage of the TC is it ties in neatly to this network.. nothing else does. Apple routers do not make themselves work wirelessly with other brands. So if you want wireless in particular that works then the TC is the go.. it is also the cheapest (the 2TB that is). You might find cheaper external hard disks. but nothing with router and wireless built in.

Using APex with Airtunes from an iMAc can you control playing tunes?

Hi, got an imac at Xmas, am looking into Airport stuff, and found this APex, with wireless play of iTunes music, Ive been looking into the Philips streamium and stuff doe playing tunes.
My question is once setup from your iMac to play music wirelessly how can you control it? Ive read the manual but doesnt say anything. So can all you do is press shuffle on the iMac and then it plays everything?
I know you could do playlists and stuff, but I have all my music, kids music, wife's music in my library, so theres a real mixture, and Im sick of listening to High School Musical!!
So can you contol the song playing, ie skip etc with it?
cheers

iTunes needs to be running in order to stream music to the Airport Express so therefore - no - the Mac running iTunes cannot be in sleep mode. It must be powered up and running, though you could blank the screen if you wish.
Why did Apple not build the function of the Keyspan Express remote into the Airport Express. Likely because it would have increased the cost of the product by 50%, while at the same time adding a feature most people would be happy to live without - in other words, not a great idea from a product marketing perspective.

Downloaded iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and cant connect to airport utility. speakers still work wirelessly from computer so i know it isnt the wiifii connection. shows everything is connected but when i play a song on itunes the icon doesnt show up for airpor

I downloaded ios 7 on my iphone 4s and cant play itunes from my iphone to my speakers through airport utility. it shows im connected thro wifii. i can play the speakers wirelessly from itunes on my computer so i know its my phone since ios 7 downloaded. even the icons on the song that turn on the speakers are missing. what do i have to do to get it back? Ive deleted airport utility and reinstalled it. i shutdown my phone and the airport base and wifii and restarted everything. nothing seems to b helping.

I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution. I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

I Tunes will not ley me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and from a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenevr I try to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. Any suggestions please?

i Tunes will not let me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and which has a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenever I try to play the songs I receive a message to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. I end up in a mess, changing I-Ds, etc. I have paid an IT company to sort things out, with some success, but still I keep getting thiese messages. Surely iTunes should be less complex than this. I am not brilliant with IT, but not at all stupid. Any suggestions please?

Control video wirelessly from Macbook

I would like to control video on a television wirelessly from my macbook. I basically want to control playback on a television during a short film shoot. In a perfect world I would use iMovie so that I could easily scroll to and from some very specific points in the video depending on continuity during filming. And then, of course, it would play on the tv. We are looking for a real quick, no hassle, way of controlling this video.
Will Apple TV wirelessly put what is on my macbook screen onto the television?????? If this were the case I could sync from iMovie and then play iMovie in full-screen mode and see it on the tv.
That was long and wordy but I am looking for any suggestions that could help.

no appleTV won't do this... appleTV allows you to access iTunes media (movies, music and online radio) wirelessly though an interface that appears on your TV...
in addition you can play music from iTunes on you computer through the appleTV to you stereo system but there is no synonymous thing with video.
but it sounds like you are really looking for a wireless video streaming solution... price depends on the quality of video you require

How to skip the currently-playing tune in iTunes 11?

How do I skip the currently-playing tune in iTunes 11 if I don't want to hear the rest of it? Clicking pause and then play just resumes that same tune, which often isn't what I want to do.
I'm using an HP laptop with the Win 7 Home Premium operating system, if this makes any difference.

In the Movies list view right click on the header row ie Name, Time, Genre etc at the top of the movie window. Select Date Added from the list. a new column Date Added will show and you can sort on this by Clicking on it.

Firefox wont show "Play Tune" button in NetSuite Website

Our company has an Ecommerce store created in NetSuite named Sanfrancisco Music Box. Because we sell music boxes, musical carousels and water globes, we have the tune in a "Play Tune" field where customers can hear the tune the product plays prior to making a purchase. So this is a very important element to our website.
The problem is that the "Play Tune" button shows up in IE and Chrome, but not in FireFox. It shows a long grey box where the play button should be, but no play button. I have tested this with various co-workers who have tried to view the product and play the tune in FireFox. It is the same outcome and same grey box.
Things I have tried is adding the Windows Media Player plugin and testing the play button in other browsers. The play button is in an embed tag and from all the research I've done about this, it should show the button.
You can view the same item we have been testing at the following address:

That is an embed tag that plays a type="audio/wav" .wav file.
You need a plugin like QuickTime that supports this content type.
It would be best though to use a file type that can be played natively by the HTML5 media player.
Then no plugin would be needed.
With this .wav file the browser console shows this error message.
