Soundblaster Wireless Internet Stream
It is true that the mediasource/ media server software does not handle internet streaming, however, you can use winamp with the streamripper plugin and record li've streaming from the internet in your hard dri've, then put the file being recorded by winamp into your media server "now playing" list and you'll be able to listen to li've streaming (the file will be written and read simultaneously).
Just give the ripper about a minute head start before starting the playback so the streaming won't have "hickups"
It really sucks to have to do this, but it works
Lamj's answer is the only practical reply. Wifi is greatly affected by its surroundings. Try moving it as much as you can, up on a table, on the floor etc. can you get a cable to extend the distance you can movemthe hub?
Is the hub using 2.4 g or 5.0 gig band? I understand that 2.4 is a little slower, but goes through obstructions better than the 5 gig band.
You can also get a repeater, which amounts to a range extended by putting a second router into the system. But play with your location ofmthe hub first.
There is nothing you can do with the pad.

I just bought a 13" Mac air. Streaming videos from amazon.com stop to load every ten minutes. my wireless internet is fast and a good connection. same video runs fine on my older dell pc.
Entering the URL of an HD version of the movie into the URL line in Safari changes things but does not resolve the problem. Now I see the QuickTime "Q" after about 5 seconds, and shortly after that the QT logo fades and a large question mark appears over it. After that, nothing.

Cannot stream to iTunes and join wireless internet at the same time
I have a home network with an Airport Extreme base station, and Airport Express connected to my home stereo and to my existing wireless network in client mode. I receive internet via a wireless signal throughout my apartment building. My laptop receives the signal via the built-in airport express card. Neither the Airport Extreme or Air Express are connected directly to the internet, since I only have a wireless signal in the building (no ethernet).
With Airport turned on the wireless internet signal appears as a list of networks alongside my own network.
I can't seem to get the settings right such that I can join my Home network and be connected to the internet at the same time, since I have to join either one or the other from the drop down list. Therefore, I can't sream music wirelessly from my laptop to my airport express and be connected to the internet at the same time.
Is there any way around this?

Your Mac only has a single radio receiver therefore it can only join one wireless network at a time. -
I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!
I think I might have been sold a jelly - I want to listen to my music wirelessly which is why I bought the Airport Express, but I also have a wireless internet connection - can I do both?David1854 wrote:

Do you mean to say you already have a wireless network setup and thought by buying the Airport Express you just could use it for wireless music alone?
The Airport Express is chiefly a wireless router first, with the wireless music and printing as extra's.
It can be used for streaming music alone, but I think it needs to talk to network time servers and thus it gets screwed up over time not being on the internet. Also by your using your computers wifi for music streaming, no internet with your other router.
So it's a all Airport Express or back to a stereo mini cable. -
Does iTunes use wireless music stream if using an Ethernet cable for AE?
Hello,
I have been having trouble with airtunes for some time now. I've tried lots of different things without much success. I think there might be too many wireless networks in my building and I am getting a lot of interference. So i'm thinking of trying a wired method.
If I plugged an ethernet cable from the computer into the Airport Express (which is then plugged into the stereo), does airtunes still send the music stream wirelessly or would it use the ethernet cable instead?
Thanks
WP1. Will this work (i.e., add wireless to the office and maintain my existing wireless in my home)? If so, what do I need to do? Specifically, do I need to configure WDS and (if so) does 2Wire support this?
What you are attempting to do is actually called a "roaming" network in Apple terms and not WDS. In a roaming network, AirPort base stations are connected together on the same subnet of an Ethernet network. Each base station is setup as a bridge, but share the same network name (SSID) and encryption (if used). It sounds like it should be possible to setup the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a roaming network. The following is how it would be done with AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
- Network configuration: DSL/Cable Modem or Internet Router > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS1 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBS2 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBSn (Note: In your case, you will have a single AX, instead of multiple AEBSs.)
- Setup the second AEBS, as a bridge. (Disable "Distribute IP addresses")
- For each AEBS in the roaming network:
-- Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
-- Provide a unique Base Station Name
-- The Network Name should be identical
-- If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
-- Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next AEBS.
2. Assuming I can, can I have that same AX (i.e., the one connected vis-à-vis Ethernet cable) be used for wireless printing in the office while providing wireless internet? Any special configuration to allow that?
Yes.
3. If this network desire does not work, is there another set of hardware that I should purchase (i.e., a different wireless DSL modem, Airport Extreme, other???).
The configuration as you planned it should work...but, in case it doesn't, I'd recommend that you replace your current wireless router with an AEBS. You can then get either another AEBS or an AX to create the roaming network. -
Slow Wireless Internet (BT homehub)
Hello, I have a problem with slow, wireless internet with the BT Broadband Homehub 2 (black). I am using a 1g Macbook 2 running 10.4.11.
A quick summary of my problem: Recently, there was a fault on my line that was affecting my phone and my broadband. BT quickly repaired the fault and reset the broadband as I complained about the speed. Connection monitors and speed tests all say that everything is running fine although I Firefox and Safari are loading pages extremely slowly; streaming of media is impossible and it sometimes times out before I can even send webmail. When I first got the connection it was lightning fast (so much so that friends commented on it when they came over). I have see that lots of people seem to be having this problem with Macbooks and I am 99.9% certain that the issue is a mac software/hardware issue. I have tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested in other threads
1.I have manually entered different recommended DNS figures
2. I have changed the wireless channels
3. I have manually entered the DNS figures supplied by the ISP
4. I have rebooted with default settings
Nothing seems to work. I'm a little bit out of my depth with this sort of thing but I have noticed that the IP address supplied by my router to airport settings doesn't correspond with the IP address in the
ISP info. I tried changing that but then I couldn't connect at all. Somebody must know what is going on here as I've seen this problem quoted on this and other forums. Is it a problem that apple are aware of? Somebody please help as this is very very frustrating.
Thanks everyone.Hi Jocksil, and a warm welcome to the forums!
BDAqua, what does you psot mean?
No idea if it worked for the OP, some never return to tell us what happened.
My suggestion should speed up a lot of connections, and never hurt anything, but not sure what the mentioned problem was, but my suggestion won't likely help connecting in the first place, unless it really is connecting, not just getting anywhere once connected.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.254.3.183 behind the scenes.
Feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

i have an iMac 10.8.3 and want to get wireless speakers to put upstairs so I can listen to sky.fm. What do I need to get? I do not have wireless internet. Thanks
I would think Airport Express would do the job (this is UK store site but it should be available wherever you are):
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC414B/A/airport-express
It has an audio output socket and air play will stream music from your mac to the device wirelessly. If you want to listen to the radio will need to do so via iTunes or use a program such as Airfoil (free):

Air port system has lost power to pick up wireless internet.
Hi,
Not sure if i am in the right area for this question as first time on this computer, but i have a older g5 iMac computer. The problem i am having is my wireless internet is extremely weak. Obviously at first i did not think that it was the computers problem but the internet i was feeding off, but this is not the case. Many laptops and other wireless computers work in my room, but not my desktop. I think the airport has lost power and cannot connect to the internet properly and sometimes when connecting it always say connection timed out.
Has anyone got any responses to this that might point me in the right direction of the cause of the problem. Anything said would be a great help.
Many Thanks
ThomI am also having a similar problem. I have a time capsule that works fine with other computers WiFi. I have temporarily hooked up a "hard line" ethernet to my iMac from the TC. The internet is very fast but when I unplug the ethernet line and use only the airport it is very slow. Not to mention, when the backup for the TC turns on everything slows down and the back up takes hours instead of minutes. I also noticed that when I stream music from iTunes to my AXs around the house the music cuts on and off. I first thought the TC was bad and was not sending out a single, but as I stated above, other laptops work just fine. So, can the airport card be replaced in an iMac G5 power PC? I realize iMacs are not supposed to upgradable like a Pro but can it be repaired? Also, if the card can be replaced can if be upgraded to a faster N card? My next step is to take it in to the Genius Bar, but I really don't want to unplug everything and take it to the Apple store if I don't have to. Thanks.

Internet Streams in Playlists do not show up on Apple TV
I use the following setup:
- Apple TV MD199LL/A (Software 6.0.1) just updated to the latest
- iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (from a Windows 7 x64)
- iTunes 11.1.3 for MAC (from a Apple MacBook Pro x64, Maverix)
Homesharing is turned on both computers
From both machines I share pictures, videos and music.
All photos, videos and music files are getting displayed on the Apple TV menu, and can be played.
All iTunes playlists from both machines are getting displazed on the Apple TV
BUT!
If a internet stream is added to a playlist, this entry does not show on the Apple TV menu.
If the playlist contains only internet streams the Apple TV menu says "There are no songs in this library"
If I hit the play key on my remote, it will randomly play the first stream in the playlist (not realy reproducable pattern)
I can play those streams in iTunes and send it via AirPlay without problems,
Can anyone help me with this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank youYou can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

I got my iPod Touch 4g for Christmas 2011 and for the first 2 weeks everything worked fine - I could download apps; use apps to their full potential; use FaceTime; use everything.
But after the two weeks, the iPod decided to no longer work as well as it had promised. First of all, it would take more than 2 hours to download a single app from the app store and then, straight after that, I couldn't connect to FaceTime (it had worked perfectly before). Then, finally, to top it all off - Facebook and Twitter stopped working on occasions. For example, I couldn't post/send messages or photos on Twitter and at the majority of the time, the News Feeds wouldn't load.
Sometimes everything works but most of the time it doesn't. I've tried my iPod at every time of the day and it makes no difference - nothing still works! Also, I don't think it is the fault of my wireless internet because I've had an iPod touch before and it worked perfectly, and the laptop that I am writing this question on also works perfectly with wifi.
The weird thing is that I have used my iPod to its full potential (everything worked fine) at my friends hosue on multiple occasions - using his wifi. I am really lost for ideas for what to do - I have uninstalled all the apps that don't work with the internet (facebook, twitter) and have always made sure that I have closed apps after using them, so that my iPod wouldn't run slow.
My iPod has been like this for over a month now, help would be appreciatedDo you have a blackberry data plan active. On your account? You need an active blackberry data plan to use the majority of data functions on your phone, even if you are connected to wifi

HELP ME UNDERSTAND WIRELESS INTERNET PLEASE!!!
IM looking into purchasing a laptop but do not have internet currently, IM totally confused on how works. Can I get wireless internet without a phone jack? Some people have also told me that a satellite laptop would be best but I would need a wireless router to connect do you have to have a service provider or can I surf the web right away? PLEASE help me!
Lets not Confuse Toshiba Sattlelite with wireless capabilties, its just a brand name and does not imply functionality in a specfic way.
There are legal ways to get free wireless internet, one i just mentioned which is the library. If you use your wireless card and find other locations over the airwaves, and they are unsecured, you could essentially hop onto them but its very illegal and there are ways of catching people stealing wireless access from other users.
If you are in the market for High Speed internet such as Comcast, or Verizon, you can go here:

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!
We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

Wireless Internet Access (Cisco IP NGN or Cisco Wireless Mesh Networkin)??
Dear Cisco Wireless Team
Please educate us on where to start, or the CISCO product we might need to purchase
We are trying to branch out a new Internet wireless access and wireless phone service business in our company, and presently looking for the right Cisco product solution to purchase to enable us offer this service in LAGOS, NIGERIA.
The service will be rendered in Africa, the country NIGERIA, and the city LAGOS.
We would like to mount or install the product in Lagos, Nigeria.
As we are new to this kind of service. We would appreciate if the Cisco wireless team can work with us in pointing or directing on the right product to purchase and what are required. We understand the Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking Solution, Cisco IP Generation Network, Cisco 12416 or 7600 Series Router might be the right products to purchase, but we are not sure on what needed or what are required to meet our service need.
Possibly we would like to offer Wireless Internet Access to unlimited subscribers, and also Wireless or Mobile Phone service to unlimited subscribers in Nigeria.
Anticipating your replyI suppose Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking would be a good choice.The Cisco mesh architecture makes it easy to scale coverage as capacity needs dictate, including increasing access point density; adding wired connections, controllers, and radios; and using dual high-powered, high-sensitive radios and a selection of high-gain antennas.Refer the document for IP NGN in the following URL http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns537/networking_solutions_solution_category.html

Wireless Internet access via requires unplugging cable modem -
I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Airport Express (7.4.2). I have high speed Internet via Comcast/cable modem. I spent 30 minutes with the Apple Tech Support folks and was finally able to get wireless internet access. However, after I shutdown and reboot, the only way I can wireless internet is to unplug the internet cable from both the wall plug and cable modem and unplug the modem, both for about two minutes. This isnt what I had in mind when I crossed over from the dark side (PC laptop world) and am having buyer's remorse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem (i dont want to unplug cables before each session on the internet)?
Mr. Timmons,
Thank you so much for the response. I thought the complete reboot would work, but apparently not. I followed the directions precisely, even waiting a few minutes longer than suggested for each of the steps. My air express is still blinking yellow. I think the issue has something to do with the DHCP and the IP address which are diifferent. The IP address is one series of number (starts with 169), and the LAN IP address is another number (starts with 10). Status on airport express show yellow for internet connection, and yellow for no DSN servers. When I go to the internet tab of airport utility, it shows the iPv4 address starts wutg the 169 number. When I click on the network tab, the DHCP range starts with the 10 number. When I open the Network Options window, the iPv4 DHCP range starts with the 10 number. I am at a loss as to how to get them to match up (with either the 169 number or the 10 number). V/R sjbgtmo
