Stream from Windows to Receiver Spotify Connect

Hi there,
i got an Ymaha Receiver with Spotify Conect.
If i play Musik with my Smartphone i can choose the Receiver to play the Musik. This works great !
But on Windows Spotify Software i cant anywhere choose "play on Receiver" or something. Is it possible to controll and play Musik from my Laptop to my Receiver ??? Both in the same Network.
I cant find any Settings...
Sorry for my englisch.
Thanks in advance!

This feature will be coming to the desktop app later this year.
In the meantime, you can download the beta app here:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Welcome-to-the-Desktop-Beta/td-p/932803
It will install as a separate app called "SpotifyBeta". In the bottom right corner there will be a connect icon. It is a beta, so it is missing features and it might have problems.

How to stream FROM Windows 8.1 TO Apple TV

Is is possible to stream audio or, better yet, audiovisual, from my Windows 8.1 PC to my Apple TV WITHOUT using iTunes? Don't get me wrong, streaming from iTunes works great (at least for audio). But I wouid like to mirror or at least stream YouTube and other non-iTunes sources from my PC to my Apple TV.
Home sharing is on and homegroup and Bonjour are both on/enabled.
What precise steps on my PC must I take to make this work?

airparrot is an option

Is there or can Microsoft develop a app for smart TVs so you can stream from Windows Media Center

I have used Windows Media Center for years to record TV programs and have even sertup my kids Xbox 360 as an extender. I've recently purchased a smart TV which allows me to steam music and home videoes from Windows media player but ofcourse the .wtv
files will not play. Would it be possible to develop an app for Smart TVs and other devices so they can be used as extenders. I'm sure many people would be willing to pay for the app. I've tried some 3rd party extenders and not been
happy with there performance and I'd like to not need another box and remote. I'm sure these new TVs have the ability to do it will microsoft allow them too?

Hi,
I agree with S.Sengupta.
You may contact the support of the smart TVs and request a tool to match Windows media player.
Hope it helps.

Problem streaming from Windows Media Center to XBOX 360 with Airports?

Good evening,
I have been having an issue trying to stream windows media center from my windows 7 ultimate (64 bit if that helps) to my Xbox 360. My network setup is:
I have an airport extreme (G) that is plugged into my cable modem and my windows 7 machine. In my living room I have an airport express that extends my wireless signal through out the house but my xbox 360 is plugged into it via ethernet. I have a very fast internet connection that is stable but any transfer between my computer and xbox is very limited it seems. I was wonder if there is a way to get this to work better. When I lunch windows media center on the xbox it sees my pc and it shows the available files but when I try and move from one to the other nothing happens and eventually I get a can't connect error. Would I be better off not connecting via ethernet to the airport express and just buying a wireless adapter?
Thanks

You don't say how your devices are connected, whether through your Verizon router or some other way. If through, say, an Actiontec then you may be having bottleneck issues. I used to run all my devices through my Actiontec and got poor transfer speeds (it only handles 10/100). Moving everything on my network to a 10/100/1000 switch helped my transfer speeds to shoot right up ten fold. This way only the switch gets connected to my Actiontec and my network devices can still get out on the 'net if needed.
It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

Wireless printing from windows XP on HP1025 connected to time capsule

I have a new BUSINESS DEL laptop that I want to print from on my HOME Apple network.
My printer, HP1025nw, is directly network connected to the time capsule. Printing from iMac and MacBook is working OK, however I can not seems to get the DELL ( running XP ) to print.
Network setup on the DELL is OK, I'm connected wireless, can access internet, etc... no prolem there.
Any suggestions?

Load bonjour for windows..
Apple network resources are hidden from the PC.. without bonjour.. once you load that it should help.
If you still have issues.. how is the printer connected.. USB is the big issue one.
But if the printer is simply plugged into ethernet or wireless connected then the apple network is irrelevant. Just follow the HP instructions for installation of network printers.

Can I disable photo stream from select devices that are connected to my iTunes account?

Hello, I was wondering is there any way to do this because I have three iPads connected onto my account, one is in another country and one my parents own, but for my personal one, I would like to disable this feature so my pictures don't get uploaded. My parents like to see the photos being taken by family in another country and I would like those two devices connected only.

You can turn off photo stream on one device without effecting the others. If you want to keep the photo stream photos on the device you are going to turn it off on, you will need to same them to your camera roll before doing so. To do this open the my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and turn off My Photo Stream. This will delete the photo stream photos from this device, but not the others (and you already saved copies of these photos to your camera roll so they will still be on your device).
The other two iPads that are signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled will still be sharing the same photo stream but you will no longer see it, and your photos will no longer be added to the stream. They can still share photos with you by adding them to a shared stream and inviting you as a subscriber (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).

HT201317 Stream from windows pc to apple tv?

How do i do this?

Only if the TC is jailbreaked.. otherwise it is dependent on itunes.. and TC is a dumb hard drive without media server or smarts of any kind.
You can buy a WD live or lots of other media players.. but Apple locked ATV to the itunes environment.. to ensure you pay.

Song-Radio doesn't work over different (Spotify Connect) devices at same time (anymore)

In current Versions of the Clients (Android, Windows, Spotify Connect Device (Yamaha CD-N301)) the Song-Radio function doesn't sync the Song-Radio List* (not the playlist!) correct over different devices. For example, if I start a Song-Radio on Android, the correct screen is shown on my Android Device, but in the Windows Client, I see only "a normal playlist" without the thump up/down buttons, but with the (in Radio-Modus not allowed) back button. In the other direction (starting Song-Radio in Windows and look it on Android) it also do not work. It's possible a bug - not only that it worked in older Versions - starting a Song-Radio on Windows with a Spotify Connect Device currently being the speaker (Android or Yamaha CD-N301) results in a "working" Radio Screen in Windows, but the current playing Song isn't that shown on the Radio Screen, but the Speaker Symbol on the Song in front is shown! (see attached screenshot)Starting the Song-Radio in Windows with Windows is the Speaker works. It looks like that it works also when it's switched to another device as speaker after the Song-Radio was started with Windows as the Speaker. Starting the Song-Radio in Android Device shows the correct Song on all devices - even with other devices as the speaker - but it's not shown as Radio on Windows. Possible it's just a problem with the Windows Client - but without more devices to test, I couldn't say, and when starting the post, I noticed it while listening to my Yamaha CD-N301. *: The Radio Screen where I'm able to see the current and last played songs and where I'm allowed to like/unlike (thumb up/down) the current song, and where I'm also only allowed to forward to the next song - not go back to the last ones, so the backward arrow is missing. Well, you possible know what screen I mean - it's that one called Radio :D

Photosmart 2710 prints garbage from Windows 8.1 but prints OK from Windows 7

Photosmart 2710 connected wirelessly to Verizon FIOS router, prints fine when sent files from Windows 7 clients (also connected wirelessly). When sent print jobs from a Windows 8.1 wireless client, printer produces page after page of single lines of mostly graphics characters, with an occasional page of several lines of what appears to be XML.
Printer driver was installed using the standard 'Add printer' button on the Devices and Printers dialog under Control Panel.
I have downloaded and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which found no problems, but its Test Page produced the same erroneous behavior.

How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

Connect the iPod. Decline any offers from iTunes to sync it, if this is the first time the iPod has been connected to the Mac. When the iPod appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, select it there. Over to the right, on the Summary tab, there is a Restore button. Click it. Follow the prompts.
Restore will erase the iPod and install the latest software, using default settings. If it is connected to a Mac when you do the Restore, it will use Mac formatting during the erase. That's basically the only difference. The software is the same, so it is not really "reprogrammed."

Spotify Connect windows client disappearing

Dear all, Is there any issues with spotify connect dissapearing after a while of inactivity ? I am trying to stream spotify to hifi system via a HTPC ( running windows server 2012 ) .Everything is working fine when the app on the server is freshly run , it is visible via various clients ( android phones and windows laptops and PC ) .Unfortunately after some period of inactivity the server't spotify connect disappears from the rest of the network and I have to log-in to the server remotely and restart spotify. During this time, the app is useable on the server and can play files locally but it is not accessible from other clients. This happens quite often, for instance if I try to connect the next day .. This is very annoying as it destroys the whole idea of headless client for streaming the music. Has anyone experienced this and is there any solution / fix for this ? Thank you very much in advance.

Alright, I'm back, sorry it took a while. I seem to have solve the problem on my HTPC. And it seems to be related to my Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver that I have an old Thinkpad (HTPC) connected to with a displayport to HDMI cable. This combo will make the computer act up in different ways since the receiver has a built in HDMI switch (one HDMI out, four HDMI in). If I for example have any audio playing on the computer with the TV turned on (driven by the receiver's HDMI out port) and then turn off the TV, the audio will disappear for a few seconds.If I have been playing music with the TV turned off and then go to turn on the TV, Spotify will show an error bar saying something went wrong. I then have to restart Spotify to make it work again. The problem triggering the Spotify Connect issue for me seems to be that if my receiver has been turned off for a while (the HTPC is always turned on with Spotify running), Spotify stops broadcast as a Connect client.I often turn off the receiver when I leave for work and during the night, and it's always after that I want to play music most of the times. I come home or get up out of bed on the weekend, turn on the receiver and find that Spotify Connect isn't working. I can turn on the TV and start the music no problem and if I restart the Spotify client, Connect starts working again. I've now left the receiver turned on during the night and when I'm at work, and since then I've been able to whip out my phone and start music on the HTPC when I get home/out of bed. I have set up the Windows power saving settings to turn off the display after a certain period of time so I have to touch the HTPC mouse before I can start Spotify Connect, but that is a personal choice. As I said before I have also made Windows Firewall exceptions for the Spotify client and I have also changed the the properties of the Ethernet network card so it won't be turned off to save power.Device Manager -> *right click on Ethernet card* -> Properties -> Power Management tab -> *uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power* Note that this option will not be available on all networks adapters.I also don't know if the firewall and power saving option has anything to do with me solving my problem. I think it's the receiver/computer combo that's causing it, but it could be two valid troubleshooting steps for anyone having the same problem. I would start to focus on the receiver though. Hope this can help someone else in this situation.

Cannot connect properly to Oracle on Linux from Windows

Good day all,
I’ve got 2 virtual machines running on my Mac:
-     Centos 5.4 with Oracle 11gR2
-     Windows 2003 server with Oracle 10gR2
From Linux box I have access to Oracle database on Windows box (both directly and via a database link), however from Windows I have problems accessing the oracle database on the Linux box.
From Windows, if I try to set up a connection using Oracle’s SQL Developer using connection type “Basic”, I get “IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection”. When I use “TNS”, then it works.
From the linux box it all works fine as the “oracle” user, but when I log on as another user (in this case “informatica”) it doesn’t work properly any more.
To sketch what both environments look like.

Another thing I noticed is that from a different user in Linux, so not “oracle”, using SQL Developer I cannot access the local Oracle database via TNS. When choosing TNS the dropdown box for “Network Alias” – which normally is populated with entries from TNSNAMES.ORA – is completely empty. On a “users and groups” level I basically assigned all the groups the oracle user is member of, to the other user (called informatica).
And to make it even more interesting, at first it worked using “Basic” (in SQL Developer), but since implementing the TNS_ADMIN environment variable, it doesn’t work at all !!!
Trying it via SQLPLUS as the “informatica” doesn’t work either:
[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ sqlplus system
bash: sqlplus: command not found
I’ve assigned the “dba” group to “informatica”, or rather, I have assigned all groups to the “informatica” user as the “oracle” user has.
Needless to say I am no Linux expert, rather a quite inexperienced Linux-user.
So bottom line, the situation I’d like to be able to create is the following:
•     Linux Oracle DB accessible from “informatica” (or any other) user on Linux, via both TNS and java-based
•     Linux Oracle DB accessible from remote machine (running Windows 2003 server) via both TNS and java-based
•     And for Informatica to work properly, it says it needs the TNS_ADMIN environment variable, so the “informatica” user must have full Oracle connectivity with TNS_ADMIN in place.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Patrick

Hi Billy,
Thanks for your elaborate answer.
Not sure whether I can use it though, since the application using the oracle database (i.e. Informatica ILM 5.3.2) appears to have a specific need for TNS.
I thought I had a solution (not the prettiest for sure) by just copying TNSNAMES.ORA to an accessible location, change ownership to "informatica" user, have TNS_ADMIN point to it, and Bob should be my uncle. Well... he isn't!
In SQL Developer when I choose TNS as connection type, the drop down box is STILL empty.....aaaaahhhh!!!!!
I was advised to play around with primary groups, so I tried oinstall and dba as primary groups for informatica user, all to no avail.
And I can't even test it with SQLPLUS because I don't have access to it as "informatica".
Who knows what the exact reason for that is... I know I'm a far cry from an experienced linux user, but I assumed that having the Oracle Home bin directory in PATH, and assigning the oinstall group to informatica user, would ensure access to to any executable in there. Well... NOT!!!
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ sqlplus system@orcl+
bash: sqlplus: command not found
This is driving me nuts. Thought that finding a solution for this wouldn't be this hard, but essentially I've been digging for 3 days now.

Apple TV Gen 2.. Terribly Slow Streaming From Wired Home Network via itunes Windows 7. Please Help

Hello all, I just signed up for this as i hope to get more results from here than i did waiting 4 hours for a call from apple today.
I recently purchased an Apple TV Gen 2.. installed it on my Samsung 40" HDTV via HDMI cable and also ran a network cable to my basement where my router, (Linksys 5 port router plus Wireless) is mounted on the wall beside the cable modem.
just to rule things out i will give some spec's and details before i get further into this.
My goal is to use my Desktop Homebuilt PC running windows 7 ultimate 64bit to store my Digital Movie Library and stream through itunes all of my digital media to my Apple TV located in another room. Both Apple TV and my desktop windows 7 PC are hard wired NOT WIRELESS.
My internet connection is cable and tested it this evening several times at 58.9 Megabits per second down and 8 Megabits per second down... (yes that is correct 58mb/s down. this equates to about 7.1 megabytes per second download speeds for reference.
Now just to rule out my 2 year old wireless router i went and purchased a brand new router today... Same results.
Now on to the problem details and my findings.
Using my Desktop PC wired to try and stream Itunes movies from the streaming is absurdly slow.. very slow... i have yet to wait to see what happens after 30 minutes of waiting for a Movie to start.. music also takes a long time to load...
Music... i can go to icloud funtion which i paid for today.. and click on the same song in icloud and the song starts almost instantly, so does music videos...
Also previously purchased TV shows starts playing from the cloud almost instantly as well even HD TV shows...
Trying to stream anything through my desktop windows 7 pc just doesnt work right...
I have narrowed this problem down to my desktop.. but can not figure out what the problem is...
using my macbook air 120GB SSD wireless over the same network, which i also have a mirrored copy of my itunes library for testing purposes... there is zero issues with streaming anything from my macbook air over the same network via wifi...
Also using my ipad 2 mirroring works flawlessly, even HD movies plays without a hitch... same goes for my iphone 4s
the only issues i am having are with my desktop and streaming from my itunes libary on it... i do not want to use my macbook air.. as that defeats the purpose of having apple TV.. in the future i plan on ripping my entire DVD / Blueray collection to a 3 TB hard drive and stream to my AppleTV... from my desktop computer storing my entire DVD / Blue Ray library digitally on the 3TB hard drive....
But i can not get this to work... i can see my itunes libary on my desktop.. i can play music and watch movies.. other than anything HD will not play... but everything takes a rediculously long time to load... i can download an entire movie with my 58mb's connection in the time it takes to load something streaming from my itunes libary on my desktop PC...
if anyone has any suggestions.. there may be something i have overlooked or i am missing. any input and or advice will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,

Ok.. in order to help other users i will post this..
I have resolved the issue... it was rather simple and dumb...
I never use windows media player ever.. i do not like it and can not stand it.. because in my case it was a brand new windows installation this fix will only apply to certain users..
because it was a brand new windows installation.. i had never clicked on windows media player.. apparently streaming settings are embedded into windows media player for the windows 7 OS...    in past installations that i have used for years.. i simply never ever clicked on windows media player, as i never had a reason to.. i use itunes for my ipad, iphone etc.. etc...
by accident and shear luck i decided to click on windows media player.. and of course go through the express settings.... after i did this all of my streaming problems to my apple tv gen2 disapeared... HD movies now start almost instantly... so as i stated above apparently there are media streaming settings embedded into the OS through windows media player... doesnt make any sense to me as i never use the program.. but whatever that fixed my issue..
so for any of you windows 7 people out there using a windows 7 pc as your itunes sync computer and using that itunes library to stream to your apple tv... make sure you have done the initial setup at min.. of windows media player.. i still left itunes as my default player.... everything now works flawlessly... infact for whatever reason.. even in an HD movie my network almost has half the movie synced now accross the bar before the movie starts so now my apple tv is blazing fast....
i have been struggling with this for 2 days now and simply never gave it a thought that windows media player would ever have anything to do with itunes streaming a totally seperate program.. but it did..
i hope this helps other people with similar problems.
good luck
