Putting music on home stereo system

I want to load my iPod with Christmas music and plug it into my tuner so the main speakers can play the music non-stop. A clerk in one of the major stores that sells iPods, music systems, tvs, etc. sold me a plug that has the same earphone plugs on each end. Didn't work.....is there a way to play my iPod on the main system? Thanks in advance. Janieg

From the Logitech site. $39 and works with all the apple items,
And my Motorola phone, dell laptop ext.

Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

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.

Need help planning home stereo system utilizing Itunes,iPs, airplay

Hello,
the internet is overwhelming me with Info, so I will ask you guys my question.
How to best build a home stereo system playing my itunes libraries.
Here are my stats:
Itunes library is housed in external 1 TB drive, worked off a Windows laptop ( Sony Viao)
I have and use two Itunes accounts ( one for US and one for Germany store)
Have an older Ipod click ( older gen, ), I phone 4S and Ipad 2,
will be upgrading to new iphone and ipad this year.
What I want to do:
At the moment we have no home stereo system or home theater. Been happy using the HDMI connector playing video from Ipad to TV. To be honest I do most of my TV viewing directly from the Ipad as it's very transportable.
Music I listen more with headphones, but have been missing my old hi-fi system from 10 years ago, which I no longer have. ( Birthing and raising 2 kids the past 8 years made me forget what I have missed . ).
Anyways it's time to get serious again.
I need to first start with a basic receiver and speakers.
Question 1:
What kind of a receiver do you recommend? There are so many options now besides hooking DVD/CD player to Receiver/tuner. Now you have wifi options ( airplay etc...). where I understand you can stream your itunes movie/music wifi. We would want a traditional DVD/CD hook up and itunes.
Question 2:
Digitial Quality: Does streaming via airplay to a receiver give digitial quality in music? I read that most Iphone/pod docks only offer analog hookup. What about digital. I know there are a few ie. Onkyo ND-S1 that are digitial. Does airplay give the same quality over wifi as a hook-up??
Question 3: I am willing to have most of my library on a ipod/ipad , but what would be the best way to access my itunes library via the exterrnal drive WITHOUT having to run a computer?? also do Airplay and appletv work together, same thing? or need both?
Question 4: Our house is big and not open. this means investing in a single set- up in main area downstairs. But what are some cheaper options ( Sonos too much money for us) for a system more spread out. Can I run from one receiver one set of speakers with wire hook-up in main room and wireless elsewhere . and how does the wireless work ( wifi?)
I hope I made sense, kinds still brainstorming in my head.

Hi,
I see no one has taken up the challenge so I'll give it a go
Here's the Apple info for multiple iPods:
How to use multiple iPods with one computer
It has a link to an article on how to share music between different accounts on the same computer which you should read.
1. When you say 'Archive entire CD collection...' I assume you are talking about loading all your CDs into one or more iTunes libraries?
2. Assuming one or more iTunes libraries then all you need to do is set the import options correctly. iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing>Import using Apple Lossless Encoder
3. This would seem to indicate you need one iTunes library. It is the computer that is authorised: iTunes: About Music Store authorization and deauthorization
4. For each user to have unique song ratings you will need multiple iTunes libraries.
If Lossless and AAC are in the same Library then Smart Playlists will do the trick as you can have the condition 'Kind does not contain Apple Lossless'
You can set the view options to show you what Kind of track in iTunes.
Hope this gets you going on the right tracks.
Regards,
Colin R.

Why lower audo levels when connecting to home stereo system

I have connected an audio cable to the earphone output on the Nano.This cable has two RCA connectors that connect to the line-in of my home stereo system. It works fine except for one thing. The volume is lower than other sources that feed into a "line-in" input. To make things even across the system, is there some type of devise that will increase the output level of the headphone jack on the Nano? Or does using an Apple cable make any difference. I would think this little problem is just a case of the headphone output being of a lower output level than a "line-out" output.
Thanks for suggestions.

"I would think this little problem is just a case of the headphone output being of a lower output level than a "line-out" output."
It is, which is why many people who want to do this use the iPod dock, which has a proper 'line out' socket.

Wirelessly connecting to a home stereo system

Anyone know if/how it is possible to play audio wirelessly thorugh a home stereo system? I'm looking to do something similar to what the Airport station does but with all audio from the mac not just audio from Itunes.

Wireless home stereo system

Hi,
I'd like to use a MacMini as a home stereo system using wireless speakers. We have a nice sony system but no where to set it up in our new home and I'd rather get rid of all the wire and keep it out of sight. What's needed to do this? It is possible, yes? Thanks for any ideas. I saw the post on airexpress but that doesn't really address my needs.

The Apple Airport Express and a stereo connection cable are exactly what you need to do this. You also need powered speakers, or speakers that get their power through an AV Receiver and amp.
The Airport Express is a wireless broadband router that can be directly connected to the Mac mini (wired or wirelessly) and used to distribute your Internet connection to other networked computers in the house.
Significantly, the Airport Express also has a single audio jack that allows you to connect either an analog (RCA-style) audio cable or a digital optical SPDIF cable -- either can be connected to the back of your AV Receiver, but you'll get the best quality using the digital cable (assuming your AV Receiver has a free optical digital port). Once the AEX is connected, you assign one of the receiver's Input ports to the computer/AEX. So, instead of connecting a stereo CD or tape player to the receiver, you connect the computer.
The stereo connection kit (cables) must be purchased separately.
We connected the AEX to our computer network using a Category 6 (RJ-45) Ethernet cable. While you can set up the Express to receive network signals wirelessly, it will be more reliable, and possiby faster (depending on the topology and setup), if you rely on Ethernet where possible. This way, the cable or DSL modem is hard-wired to the AEX and the only portion of the network that is wireless is between the wireless computers and the AEX.

What is the best way to connect an ipod to a home stereo system

i forgot my ipad password - i entered the wrong password a number of times and am now locked out - what do i do to start again?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The best way depends upon your stereo system. If you system has an AUX input you can get a cable that goes from the headphone jack to the AUX in

Connecting my home stereo system to my macbook pro

I want to connect my stereo system to my MacBook Pro in order to put some of my Pops old vinyl onto CD to play when out and about. Please can someone advise best option. Usual stereo phono out from the amp.
Thanks
Nii Naku

Well, there are many options you can use. If you have a home stereo, with only two channels, you can go to radio shack and get a splitter cable, one with the red and black/white RCA connectors on one end, and then the 1/8th inch headphone connector on the other end, and then plug the RCA's into you stereo in the line out ports, and then the headphone into the line in on the MBP, and you are all set. You can even go into system prefs and sound under line in or recording, play the record and see what the MBP is registering for line in volume and adjust it to get the best sound.

Listen to music through home stereo on iPad?

How do you stream your music to your home stereo thru your iPad similar to iTunes on your Mac desktop? They allude to this being possible at the very end of the guided tour to iPod on the iPad

I am trying to do the very same thing, glad to hear others are struggling!
I stream Pandora through my home AV system through my PS3 browser. The problem is, to change the station, I need to turn on the TV, boot up a controller, etc. Instead, I want to connect via iPad Bluetooth to my home AV system and change tunes at will.
I was able to pair the iPad to PS3 as shown on numerous YouTube videos to pair iPhone to PS3. The problem is that the audio doesn't pass through, even though it is linked. On the iPad Bluetooth settings, it shows paired, but the Device part shows the searching wagon wheel......... and doesn't allow me to pick headphones versus keyboard.
So, how do I force the iPad to output to the Bluetooth connection? I update PS3 software with no success... Help Techies!
An alternative would be to purchase a Bluetooth receiver / transceiver and try again, but since it didn't work with PS3, would their be any hope in it working on a dedicated receiver?

Streaming iTunes music to home stereo

Hi! I'm trying to stream my iTunes music to my home stereo receiver; doesn't have to be wireless, wired is fine. Here's the catch: I'm using NAS and two notebook computers...the iTunes music doesn't live on either notebook, only on the NAS drive. I want to be able to access the music without having to turn on a computer.
Is there a device that I can attach to my stereo receiver and the network that will let me access the music files from the NAS drive? Having a heckuva time with this, any input is most appreciated!

Sorry, I missed the bit about wanting to not use a computer.

You still need a server running but you don't use the computer to access it.

Using iCloud stored music on home Sonos system

I enjoy having my music & all available to me via iCloud away from home, but have found it to be less than ideal at home since I have a Sonos wireless system. Essentially, I don't use iTunes/iCloud services at home. Any suggestions to have Sonos be able to act as a device to access my iCloud files?

That seems strange.
Have you changed the itunes media folder location to the external drive?
iTunes > Preferences >
Try changing to location to the external hard drive.. so your itunes music gets saved there
Also I'm not sure iTunes can work this way..
I've seen someone try to use a timecapsule the same way and it required them to manually connect to the drive in the finder, before being able to play their music.
Is there a password required when connecting to the drive?

Does anyone know how to connect an iMac to a home stereo system?

I want to play my itunes library through my home amplifier and speakers? Is it possible to do this?

For stereo sound, you can use a normal stereo cable.
For surroundsound capable video/audio, optical TosLink connection through the headphone port using an adaptor cable.
