Stream music wirelessly from iPhone to MacMini speakers....

I have my MacMini set up as a media server and play most of my music from there - it connects to two Airport Expresses in other rooms. However, sometimes friends have requested to be able to stream from their iphone itunes library or iphone apps to the speakers connected directly to the mac mini audio port in my living room where the mac mini is setup. As the mac mini speakers do not show up in Airplay they cannot do this. Is there a work around? Is there anyway to stream to the speakers of any mac OTHER than using Airport Express? If it has airport built in why cant the speakers appear to anyone on the network?

same question here.

  • Streaming music wirelessly from iMac to stereo

    I'm looking to stream music wirelessly from my iMac to my stereo and was wondering if anyone had any advice on what is the best system to do this through. So far I've seen the Logitech Squeezebox, which looks OK, and the Sonos system, which looks great but pretty expensive.
    Thanks

    For Express is there any method of controlling the music through the base station...
    No
    ...or is it all done through iTunes on the computer?
    Yes

  • How do I stream music wirelessly from my NAS to my iPad?

    Hi,
    I've recently set my Dlink DNS 320 NAS with iTunes server. I've installed the latest iTunes and plugged my iPad into my desktop pc. I can see my NAS in the left hand pane of my iTunes window, and all of my music is listed there.
    When I unplug my iPad, and leave my desktop pc on, I open up Music on my iPad, click on the More option and I can see all the music available. When I turn off my pc I can no longer see my music.
    Now I'm working on my laptop, latest iTunes installed and again I can see my NAS in the left hand pane with all of my music. Plugged the iPad into my laptop, installed it, and unplugged it again.
    Okay, I have one query and one problem.
    Problem: when my laptop is turned on, running iTunes, I can't see any music available on my iPad under the More function. I can only Genres and Composers.  How do I access my music collection with the laptop turned on?
    Query: Do I have to keep my pc / laptop turned on to play the music wirelessly on my iPad.  Seems a bit ridiculous that I've got my NAS running across my wireless network, with iTunes server running, but I have to keep my pc to get to the music.
    Thanks in advance for any support and help!

    Could you explain more? WHat do you mean that you do not have "import" on iTunes? Are you trying to find an import command to add the videos to your iTunes media library? It is called Add to library and is found in the iTunes File menu.
    But you can add files to the iTunes media library by just dropping the files onto the iTunes icon.

  • HT1515 My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?

    Wirelessly
    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

    You may consider doing that, it largely depends on what you want the movie for once you have it on your Mac, sending it to YouTube is likely to cause it to lose much of its quality.

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

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

    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.

    How to delete music albums from iphone?

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

    Otherwise, no.

  • How do I remove iCloud music function from iPhone?

    How do I remove iCloud music function from iPhone?

    Thanks, operative word here is hide.
    iTunes wants to keep music on the iPhone even after you want to clear it out and start over. I wish they had a "flush" function. At present after wiping it basically clean, down to one album, then checking the fill option, iTunes fills up the iphone with the same albums I just got rid of... I have a huge selection in my library to choose from. But it keeps returning to the same albums even though I have not checked them or artist. Frustrating.

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

    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.

  • Deleting music straight from iphone in ios 6.0.1

    hi, i recently purchased an album from itunes on my iphone (4, ios 6.0.1) synced my iphone to my computer and now i have the one ablum duplicated in my music app. is there any way of deleting music straight from iphone in ios 6.0.1?

    Not if you're using iTunes Match.  You can only delete all downloaded music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music, then tapping Delete.  Then redownload the music you want from iCloud.  If you aren't using iTunes Match, you can try swipping the album/songs to see if Delete appears; not sure if this works in iOS 6 or not.  (It doesn't with iTuens Match anymore.)

  • Stream Music Wirelessly to Bose System

    I have a Mac Book Pro, 2T Time Capsule with a 2T External Hard Drive. I would like to be able to stream music wirelessly to my Bose system. I have been told I either need Apple TV or Airport Express. I would like to know what other people have done before I purchase. Please Help. My Bose has every kind of hook up I can think of.
    Thanks

    If your Bose system is AirPlay compatible, you need nothing else.
    Otherwise, you need to connect an AirPlay compatible device to it, such as an AppleTV or AirPort Express.

  • Can I stream music direct from my itouch to the airport express?

    Hello everyone
    Can you help a noobie, I've got an ipod touch and would like to stream music, you tube video etc wirelessly to a set of powered speakers directly from the itouch and am wondering if the airport express would allow me to do this?
    Thanks
    Gary

    The ultimate answer, no you cannot. This might be something that is worth looking into, (the website below), though. Then you could stream it to a computer, then to Airport.
