Still stream via AirPlay/iTunes if wired via ethernet?

I want to wire my AppleTV (third gen) to my Airport Extreme via Ethernet so that streaming from my MacBook Pro (which acts as media server) will stream faster. (The MacBook Pro is also wired to Airport Extreme via Ethernet.) Will I still be able to stream to my AppleTV via other MacBooks and/or iOS devices on my network that aren't hardwired to the Airport Extreme but access the same wifi network from my Airport Extreme?

Actually the title says AirPlay and wired, not Wifi, but that's ok.
I understand completely the four different connections you mention, believe me. I'm just trying to understand if I can still stream to my AppleTV if I connect to the Ethernet port. Other posts have suggested that the wifi on AppleTV is turned off if Ethernet is connected. And I'm not clear if streaming thru iTunes/Airplay only happens through a wifi connection. Or if it really just works through your local network regardless of how the devices connect to it (Wifi, Ethernet, Airplay, etc.)
Apple doesn't explain this clearly -- rightfully so, since they want it to just work and not focus on the backend of HOW it works. But I'm unclear in this particular situation.

  • Is it possible to stream music to multiple sets of speakers via airplay direct from iphone4s on ios7 in the same way that you can in iTunes

    Is it possible to stream music to multiple sets of speakers via airplay direct from iphone4s on ios7 in the same way that you can in iTunes / Remote?
    I know this can be achieved by the remote app.
    Airplay functionality appears only to support 1 set of speakers at a time?

    Does anyone know how or if it's possible to stream my music from the iPhone to iTunes via bluetooth or wifi? Essentially I want to share the iPhone's library with iTunes (I know one can go the other way).
    Here's why: I'd like to stream my music at work to my computer's speakers without taking the phone out of my pocket. I obviously don't have my home music collection on my company computer. And I figure if I place the phone on my desk to plug it in and play through iTunes, I could easily walk off without the phone. That would be bad (out of contact) and potentially sad (stolen).
    It seems right now the only bluetooth connection to a computer is for the remote application.
    Wait until November. Airplay/Airtunes iOS 4.2 announced for iPhone to iTunes/iTV. If you want a BT audio stream now, you can add a dongle to the PC for headset streaming.
    As far as WiFi file transfer iPhone to iTunes, you can't. There's talks on it but nothing concrete. Except JB.

  • Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

    Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

    My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
    On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

  • How do I use my iphone to stream videos,games, and music via airplay in itunes?

    Hi.
    I was looking for an option to use airplay from my iphone to itunes(not apple tv) After searching for a while, i understood that I cannot do that unless I have a apple tv. But when I bought my 5s when it released, I remember playing my videos from my phone to itunes via airplay. But i forgot how I did that. Can anyone please tell me how to do that? Or if any of the recent updates took those features off, is there anyother way I can do that?
    Thank you

    Normally backups are incremental, and you can only restore the latest. EXCEPT that a backup of an earlier version is archived, and the first backup of the new version is thus complete. You should be able to restore a 6.1.4 backup to iOS 7. Click the Restore Backup button. The dialog that comes up should have a dropdown where you can select a backup to restore. If the old one does not show up it cannot be restored.
    However, since you appear to have a Mac, if you use Time Machine you can restore an earlier backup over the current one from your Time Machine history.
    You can also back up to iCloud, even if you don't sync to it. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
    One well hidden feature (for future use) is archiving backups. If you go to iTunes Preferences/Devices, right click on the current backup and choose "Archive". The next backup you make will be a competely new one, and the old one will be preserved and can be restored at any time.

  • How can I stream music via AirPlay but still have an internet connection?

    Hi guys,
    Ive just bought an Airplay speaker but I seem to be missing something here as I can't figure out how to stream my audio on my iPhone to the AirPlay speaker but still use the internet by either WiFi or 3G at the same time. I stream all my music using iTunes Match or Spotify.
    There are volume buttons, a power button and wifi button on the AirPlay speaker. The instructions state to press the wifi button for a few seconds then it will appear as a wifi connection on other devices. And so it does. It comes up in my wifi list on my iPhone and on my Mac too. So as it suggests, I connect to the speaker's wifi connection, and if I go to the Control Centre, AirPlay gives me the option to choose the speaker and it connects to it fine. It streams music that's locally on my iPhone, but when I try to connect to Spotify, stream something using iTunes Match or just use the internet on my phone, there's absolutely no connection. Of course it seems to be using the speaker as the primary and only connection to the internet.
    If I try to connect back to my home wifi network, I get my internet connection back, but lose connection to the AirPlay speaker! It just disappears altogether. So what am I doing wrong here?
    I've tried the same on my Mac but having the exact same problem. Can anyone please advise me where I'm going wrong?
    Other notes: I am using a Virgin Media Superhub 2 with dual band 2 and 5 GHz connection options, Technika AirPlay Speaker, iPhone 5S and a MacBook Pro.
    Thank you in advance!

    You're not setting things up properly. You need to first connect this speaker to YOUR network, not create a network using the speaker. I suspect there is a setup menu for this speaker to do so. Check the documentation or the maker's web site for instructions.

  • HT4437 streaming .mov to apple-tv via airplay

    Hi,
    I would like to stream a streaming .mov movie via airplay to my Apple TV3 box.
    how can I do that, since I cannot place the movie-file into iTunes as suggested in support forums.
    (streaming movie URL = http://hstreaming.zdf.de/zdf/veryhigh/130107_teilzwei_fs_adl.mov )
    if iTunes allowed my to identify the movie via URL, that would probably help, but I havent found any method like that.
    thank you for hints and help!

    Hello mirko,
    If you are still experiencing streaming issues to your Apple TV from your MacBook, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Ethernet Connection
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

    I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
    I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
    And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
    If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
    If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
    I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

    That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

  • Why is music streamed from my MacBook Pro to Apple TV via AirPlay choppy?

    I'm trying to stream music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my new Apple TV via AirPlay, but the music is extremely choppy, cutting in and out. It's completely unlistenable. However, I can use AirPlay to stream from my Macbook Pro to my Pioneer VSX 1021 AirPlay enabled receiver with no issues. Additionally, I can stream from my iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV without these issues. Therefore it would appear wifi bandwidth is not the root cause. I'm stumped. Help!

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Streaming from MacBook Air to Apple TV via Airplay mirroring causes stuttering

    So... I'm trying to stream video from Safari on my Mac to my Apple TV via Airplay mirroring. Most of the time, the video starts off just fine, but after a while, it begins to stutter and lag on my Apple TV. The video is playing just fine on my Mac, but as it's mirrored over to the Apple TV, it begins to stutter and lag on the Apple TV only; not on my Mac. I then quit out of Safari, turn off wifi on my Mac, restart the Apple TV and restart my Time Capsule. Once I do that, it works fine, intermittently for a bit, and then starts to give out again.
    I have a 2013 13" MacBook Air with 8 GB's of RAM, an Apple TV 2 and 3, a previous generation Time Capsule (802.11n), and 50 Mbps wifi from AT&T Uverse.
    What gives? What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't this stream just fine under these circumstances?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    P.

    Hey vazandrew,
    Thanks for the update on the encryption piece. I didn't know that. I thought you meant something like using a VPN.
    And yeah, 4 years is a while. I just figured if the drive was still humming along all should be well. I didn't think that performance could be affected in this way just from using an old router.
    The issue does occur on both Apple TV's. Near the Apple TV's are just my TV sets. One ATV also has speakers nearby it. The ATV's are not sitting inside of a closed space. They're on top of the entertainment unit. The rest of the appliances are below and inside the unit.
    Near the Time Capsule is the Uverse Gateway modem for my cable tv, a Motorola SB6141 modem for my internet with Atlantic Broadband (I mistakenly mentioned initially that my internet was with Uverse), an APC battery backup, my HP printer, a USB hub, a power strip, and a couple of unplugged external hard drives.
    Thank you again.

  • Cannot Stream Video from iPad on AppleTV - Media Server Apps via Airplay

    Hi,
    Need help on this one.  Am using iPad 4th gen - Apple TV 3rd Gen and iPhone 4S. (all latest firmware)
    Last week was streaming video via Airplay using GoodPlayer and ArkMC apps on iPad to stream from my NAS (WD MyBookLive) via DNLA media server to Apple TV - Worked Amazing
    Upgraded firmware on appleTV.
    I can no longer stream via Airplay from these apps - Airplay Icon appears - I can Select the Apple TV device for airplay (Checked - icon is blue). But no image on apple TV - video image stays on device.
    Full reboot of both AppleTV and iPad.
    Other software using server type setup (ex.:EMIT app) work perfectly and streaming directly from video on iPad works perfectly. (need to turn on the server on the computer though) or airplay enabled web sites and/or apps seem to work well also.
    Mirroring works but the video is not full screen and wrong ratio.
    Any clues ? I've lost this one.
    Thanks

    Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed). What it's apparently doing is, is telling the AppleTV2 to download the video and play it on its own, starting with xx:xx timestamp directly from youtube or your iTunes library. This is why it's only working with your iTunes library or the built-in YouTube app. And also why it wouldn't work with the camera roll, because it isn't streaming directly from the iPhone. So it's not exactly what we were originally thinking or expecting.

  • Can't stream audio via Airplay to Denon X4000 receiver

    I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display. It came preloaded with Mavericks. I'm trying to stream audio via airplay to my Denon X4000 receiver which is airplay certified. For some reason airplay only works with iTunes. If I go into the sound preferences in Mac OS X my Denon X4000 receiver is listed as an audio output device but OS X won't let me click on it. It immediately reverts back to the laptop's internal speakers. I just recently started having this problem as of tonight when I tried to listen to music from Google Play Music. Has Apple decided to force iTunes down everybody's throat? How do I fix this?

    This is from the Web page at Denon, confirmimg what you have found. I don't know if it is a Denon restriction or Apple.
    http://usa.denon.com/us/product/pages/productdetail.aspx?catid=avreceivers(denon na)&pid=avrx4000(denonna)
    Equipped with Apple’s AirPlay function, the AVR-X4000 lets you stream your favorite tracks from your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad via your home network. You can also access your favorite iTunes tracks from your computer or connect your portable device directly via the front panel USB port.

  • Apple TV and iTunes -- Cover art via AirPlay is incorrect.

    iTunes and second gen Apply TV software is up to date.  I now find that album cover art is not displaying correctly on Apple TV, when music played from iTunes via AirPlay
    He cover art seems to be off set by one album (from the playlist).  First song displays correctly, second song, still shows cover art from first song, third song shows cover art from second song, and so on.
    Since the cover art used to display correctly, I assume that this is a bug in AirPlay.  Then again, you know what happens when you assume.
    Anyone else have the same problem and been able to correct this issue?
    Thanks.

    I am also experiencing this issue.  If I stop and then re-start the song, the art corrects itself, but that should not be necessary.  I would love a fix for this before the holiday when I play a lot of music.

  • How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.
