Streaming AirTune and Security

When I enabled Firewall, I can not stream from iTune to my stereo using an Airport Express. If I disabled Firewall, I can stream without problem. When I enable Firewall, I select "Allow only essential services" and include iTunes in the window. But I get an error message of "-3256" when I double click on a song in my iTune file.
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How do I select to simultaneously stream (airtune) and play on my computer?

Hi everyone. So I keep reading that as of last January '06 (6.0.2) iTunes will let you stream to remote speakers and play the same song simultaneously on the computer's speakers. How do I do this?!? I have searched everything and everywhere (these forums, macosxhints, the usenet forums) for over 30 mins now and no one mentions "how" to do it, just that it can be done. That is, once everything is setup, is there a mystery screen that says "click here for both at once"? Am I supposed to right click on anything in particular?
iTunes only lets me select one at a time - on the bottom right of itunes, I have the box that lets me choose my remote speakers ("livingroomstereo") or my computer speakers ("computer"). But again, it only lets me click on one, not both...
I have: iMac G4, iTunes 7.0.2. My airport express is at v6.2 firmware. I use a linksys wrt54g as my base, and the airport express works perfectly as a client.
What is the mystery! I feel that something is missing since no one describe how to select multiple ones at once so that it must be totally obvious. And that leads me to beleive that I am not "missing" it, it just isn't there....
Here is the useless Apple FAQ:
Can my AirTunes stream play through my computer's speakers at the same time?
Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can play through both the computer speakers and multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware (available here). The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.
I hate things that tell you that you can do a particular thing, but then dont tell you how to, or at least don't tell you how to find out how to do it...
Thanks!!!

Ah man. thank you.
I hope Apple fixes the indirect problem with their FAQ. On their faq (that I excerpted below) they provide a link to check and DL the newest software and firmware. I went through their "check" and gave me the thumbs up...
Thank you for pointing out the problem..

I have 3 airport express units, an Ipod and a PC. I used the PC to set up an airTunes and the AirUtility can see all three of the airexpresses. The Ipod displays all of the airexpresses and I can pick any one to stream music to. PC won't - any ideas?

I have 3 airport express units, an Ipod and a Windows 7 PC. I used the PC to set up an iTunes/airTunes and the AirUtility can see all three of the expresses. The Ipod displays all of the expresses and I can pick any one to stream music to. The PC won't - any ideas? AirUtility tells me the 7.5.2 version of the firmware is the latest for the expresses and ITunes is also reporting that there are no upgrades available. I get an error code -15000 when I try to connect from the PC to one of the expresses.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

Can Apple TV stream movie and other non-music audio to airtunes

I suspect the answer to this is that it is not (currently) possible.
I can stream music in itunes directly from the ATV to my hifi speakers connected via airtunes and an airport express, but I'd like to be able to stream other audio too, such as movie sound tracks. I know this can be done using airfoil from a mac, but I can't see an obvious way of doing the same with ATV. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Playing Music via Airtunes and using as a repeater simultaneously

Id like to use Airport Express as a repeater and a client for playing music via Airtunes simultaneously. Is this possible anyhow? I do only have two choices using the airport-assistant: 1st Connecting to use Airtunes and bonjour printer; 2nd using as a repeater. This can´t be everything!

alterkram, Welcome to the discussion area!
Regardless if you configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join a wireless network or as part of a WDS, both Airtunes (music streaming) and wireless printing are available.

Airtunes and WDS on 2 Different Airport Express-Naming Properly?

I have 2 different Airport Express. Both are running through a Linksys WRT54G.
One of them I use for Airtunes to my living stereo. That is the new "n" protocol.
Works great. The other Express is the older "b/g" version that I have hooked up as an extension to my network under WDS. Both work fine.
My questions is they are listed as two different networks. The one streaming airtunes shows up as my regular wireless network "Linksys.......". The other one shows up as "Apple 61......." They are both coming from the same router but have different names.
Have I screwed something up? I know the WDS one works great because I can select it in my iPod Touch and get a strong signal. I can connect to both networks with my iPod Touch with strong signals.
I'm confused on whether I actually have created an extension (WDS) connection to my Linksys. I must have because the WDS is totally wireless and has to be picking up wireless from Linksys. But why 2 different names.
Your help is appreciated. Should I just name the WDS network the same as the Linksys?
Cheers
mrjazz

I have the choice under wireless to create a network, join a network, and participate in a WDS network.
If I set to WDS network then under WDS I have the choice of choosing main, relay or remote.
So how do I join my network and extend it with the other airport express?
If I choose to join the network I don't have any WDS options. Am I correct that to extend the range of my network I have to set to WDS?
Your help is appreciated.
Cheers

Firewall Message with Airtunes and AppleTV

I am using iTunes 8.02 on a Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. I like to stream my music to my AppleTV (which is running the most recent version of the firmware). My wireless router is an Airport Express (running the latest v6.3 software).
In iTunes, I see a drop down menu showing me my AppleTV. When I select it, I see a pop up warning message:
"Your Computers firewall settings will prevent you from using Airtunes.
Please check your Firewall settings
Learn More Ignore Open Firewall Settings"
I click ignore and it works!!
But Why am I getting this message?
I have followed the instructions in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278
I have even disabled "Stealth Mode" in Tiger's firewall suggested in the forums.
What am I missing?
Why do I still get this warning message (yet it works when I click Ignore)?

Then I would be wireless from G5 and AppleTV to the internet. But I would loose the AirTunes / Express capability?
You could only have one function at one time. (So you can't use your G5 and Apple TV on the internet while using AirTunes) as (AFAIK) the AirPort express can't be used as a 'wireless access point' at the same time as AirTunes.
To try and summarize
If you want to use AirTunes and have your computer and Apple TV connected to the same network with internet connectivity at the same time you can:
1. Purchase an AirPort Extreme base station.
2. Connect your cable modem to the AirPort extreme via ethernet, set up a WiFI network and connect your G5 and Apple TV.
3. Join your AirPort express to the AirPort extreme network via client mode.

Streaming AirTunes to Airport Express via Extreme

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I've read thru multiple threads about this issue and done just about everything indicated with no luck. Used Airport Extreme for a wireless network with direct WAN connect to DSL and LAN to printer, wireless to the iMac and can connect fine with my PC notebook via the wireless network. I've tried to add Airport Express simply to stream AirTunes to the stereo system in the next room, but keep getting flashing amber on the Express. I've used soft, hard and factory resets, started over using Airport Utility to add the Express to the existing network, using the tech article cited in one of the streams. To avoid interference even tried setting it up plugged in next to the Airport Extreme. After factory reset the iMac can find the Express but when I try to add it to the existing network set up on the extreme it no longer finds it and the light starts flashing amber again. What am I missing here?

Aw, that's what I thought, thank you for confirming Rudegar. Back to the drawing board..

Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously. My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way.

In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
For Macs:
o MacStumbler
o iStumbler, or
For PCs:
o NetStumbler

2nd express for airtunes and internet?

I have two airport express. One is connected directly to my modem. I bought the second to use for my stereo. It is working beautifully with the speakers. Do I have to run through the airport set-up a second time to extend my wireless internet signal as well? It doesn't seem like it did it automatically (because I have almost no internet signal at the moment and I am only 10 feet away from the 2nd airport express). Also, can it entend the wireless internet signal and play my music over airtunes at the same time? Please help!! Any knowledge is appreciated.

Do I have to run through the airport set-up a second
time to extend my wireless internet signal as well?
Yes, or use the Admin Utility, personally I would soft-reset the base station and re-configure again.
Also, can it entend the wireless internet signal and
play my music over airtunes at the same time?
Yes
An Airport Express can stream AirTunes either as a client, a router or as an Extender (WDS).

Using Airtunes and Airfoil

After months of wonderful listening with AE suddenly does not recognise remote speakers. Green light is on solid, checked preferences as much as I know. Any clues? Thank you.

hi Mike,
Got a silly question to ask......I only ask this because it has happend to me before:
Is Airport turned ON?
Is it possible to plug the computer directly into your Airport Express with the Ethernet Cable? and then test to see if you can stream Airtunes or Airfoil. If you do this make sure Airport is Turned Off.
You might have to do a reset of the Airport Express:

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

Updated safari and security update last night.
Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
Thank you

Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

Bursting with translation and security attributes?

Hi folks,
I've been lurking on the forum for a while and despite not always finding a solution, existing threads normally pointed me in the right direction - so thanks :)
I'm working on EBS 11.5.10 with the latest Bi-Publisher 5.6.3 (5472959) and bursting (5968876) patches installed.
I have successfully done the following individual AR Invoice Bi-Publisher tasks:
1. translated an invoice RTF template by attaching an xliff file to the data definition,
2. applied security attributes to the template to restrict updates on the resulting PDF,
3. burst a custom AR invoice print and emailed the resultant pdf's.
The PDF generated by the combined Invoice print correctly applies the translation and security attributes; however when I run the "XML Publisher Report Bursting Program" to the XML file the resultant burst PDF's do not apply the translation or security attributes. I assume this a limitation of bursting control files? If so, is this on the list of future enhancements to Bi-Publisher?
Here's an example of my control file document entry, I have included locale and pdf-security entries - these don't cause an error but equally don't generate the desired result (p.s. I know I'm emailing on a PRI filter - it's just a test):
<xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="att_email">
<xapi:template type="rtf"
location="/usr/tmp/xxxINVOICE3.rtf"
locale="fr-US"
pdf-security="true" pdf-encryption-level="1" pdf-permissions-password="xxxxxx"
filter=".//G_INVOICE_HEADER[PRINTING_OPTION='PRI']" >
</xapi:template>
</xapi:document>
Thanks
Dave

==Properties Idea's

You would have happened to try applying the security stuff in the application for your template? Try that and see if the pdf properties get set.
If that doesn't work your left with two options:
1. create a java concurrent program and set the properties manually.
2. Log a tar.
=================
==local idea's
=================
Are you sure you don't have to create template config for the locale? i suspect that's why it's not applying the xliff translation. Also, your NLS_LANG needs to be set to FRENCH for the approriate template to be applied. If your logged-in as english your french format template will not be applied, neither will the translation. As an example you can query vl table and you'll only get american (us) but if you alter your session you'll get the translation for that language when your query the table.
location="xdo://xxxAR.xxx_XML_PRINT.fr.US"
try it out and see if that works. Note: This will only work if your session NLS_LANG is set to FRENCH.
