Streaming Audio From iMac to your home stereo?

I've just learned from this forum that it is not possible to use the Motorola DC800 to use iTunes to stream wirelessly to my home stereo. Is there any solution to this, or do I have to drill a whole in my wall to run a cable??!!

if you can't use bluetooth then there are wifi devices such as apple's airport express unit that would allow you to do this...

itunes will stream direct to an airport express, other applications can also do this via a utility such as airfoil...

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • HT4437 Is it possible to stream audio from a non-Itunes program on a computer (say, a website, Youtube, etc...) to Airplay speakers?

    When you set up the new Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer both from your iMac and your external drives.  You can also use Target Disk Mode to drag over the things you want.

  • Cannot connect from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares

    Hi guys,
    I am having dificulties connecting from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares.
    First of all it takes so long time to discover the share in iMac, which it's called "mediaserver". After finding it i cannot connect and gives "Connection Failed: message. If i choose "Connect As.." option i wait some time and then pops out with an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "mediaserver". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    If i try from Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... write in Server Address : smb://mediaserver it fails. But if i write the IP address, like: smb://192.168.1.42 it works after couple of tries. If i try now to Make an Alias for the share i get "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (eror code -8060)."
    Has anyone experienced these problems ? I have updated to Mac OS X version 10.7.3. Could that be the problem ?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Simi

    You need to reinstall the updated WHS connector for Mac.  You should then be able to access your shares on WHS 2011. 
    The problem I'm having is I can't get Time Capsule to recognize the WHS 2011 mapped folders that show up on the desktop as a drive, so Backup won't work.

  • Stream Audio From iPhone 3GS To MacBook Pro

    Is it possible to stream audio from an iPhone 3GS (playing in the iPod app) to a MacBook Pro over Bluetooth, so that the music plays through the MacBook's internal speakers?
    Obviously you could just connect the headphone socket of the iPhone 3GS to the line in socket of the MacBook Pro, but doing it over Bluetooth would be much tidier.

    There is a way with WiFi, but you need to "Modify" your iPhone to do it.

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    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. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Does anyone know a way to stream audio from Snow Leopard to a PPC running Panther?

    I have recently aquired a iMac PPC, I've freshly installed Panther on it and it runs a treat. I was wondering however if there is a way to stream audio from my main Desktop, a 2007 iMac running Snow Leopard. iTunes library share isn't a solution either as I use Spotify a my main source of music and unfortunetly it is no longer supported for PPC's.
    Thanks, Tim

    Unfortunately I could get neither of these to work, probably because of my own ineptitude.
    I couldn't get VLC to output from Spotify, this could be my own fault.
    I also couldn't make Airplay play with OS X 10.3.9.
    I did however find a messy workaround.
    I am currently using Airfoil on my main Desktop to output Spotify and then am receiving it on Airfoil Speaker on my iPhone, which is in turn connected to my 10.3.9 iMacs audio input via a 3.5mm Jack.
    You need to download an app called LineIn for 10.3 (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/legacy/) to play the sound from the input from the built in speakers.
    To be fair it's not that messy it just requires you to have a device that can have Airfoil Speakers installed on it and have a 3.5mm Jack.

  • Stream audio from a source

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it were possible to stream audio from an internet radio station. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks in advance!

    I found this: http://techtips.salon.com/use-iphone-webcam-3623.html
    I would suggest the use of an analog capture card, like a Dazzle, and the official Apple Composite video cable. I'm not sure if it would work, but the systematics would be (Output) (phone)—(Input)-Output (capture card)—Input (your PC)
    I can't verify this, maybe if I get the Apple AV cable I can, since I have everything else.

  • Streaming audio from Logic 7.2

    Has anyone found a good way to stream audio from Logic to another computer via the web? I'm tweaking a sound design mix for a client in another city and would love to be able to get them on the phone and have them be able to participate in real time. Where's the Rocket Network when you need it? : )Thanks.

    2 solutions:
    1. Old school: get a telephone coupler and send the mix down the phone line.
    2. iChat: feed your mix into a small mixer, open a mic when you want to talk, and feed the mix into your "line input" on iChat (make sure it's selected in preferences) and do an audio chat.

  • Dropping out when streaming audio from itunes

    to my stereo it keeps dropping out about every 10.
    However streaming audio from my iphone4 is ok no drop out.
    Any advice please?
    One supplementary the audio quality of music streamed from the
    PC seems to be slightly better than from the iPhone. Is this the
    Case and if so why?
    Thanks

  • Cannot stream photos from iPad, cannot stream audio from Pandora

    Updated to iOS 4.2.1 and I can stream audio from the iPod app on the iPad to the ATV2, so I know AirPlay is working. But, I cannot stream photos (there is no AirPlay icon showing on top of the screen, unlike the video demo from Apple.com web site). Also, cannot stream audio from Pandora (again, no AirPlay icon).
    The odd thing is that I can stream Pandora audio from the iPhone 4. But, not photos (same problem as with the iPad).
    Is anybody able to stream photos from either iPad or iPhone? How about Pandora audio from the iPad?

    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.

  • Stream movies from my computer using home share to apple TV (gen 3) is using up my internet down load allowance?

    I have been using Apple TV (gen 3) to stream movies from my computer using Home Share but found my internet down load increased, I have read online forums which all say they don't think the home sharing uses your internet down load but when I played a movie then paused and unplugged my cable from my router I was unable to continue streaming the movies which tells me I am using internet down load. Can I use my Apple TV to stream already downloaded and saved movies from my computer to Apple TV without using the internet?

    Sorry diesel, to amswer your question: I am selecting "Computers" from the ATV which inturn streams the movies from the iTunes on my computer.
    If I unplug my internet cable from the router I am unable to continue streaming the movie? this tells me that it is using my ISP internet to stream, I have checked all my settings but can't see anywhere that would make it stream direct from my router to ATV.
    Just can't work it out???

  • Streaming audio plays too fast on car stereo

    Streaming audio plays too fast on car stereo with iPhone 4S

    how do you play it on the car stereo?
    because if it's using the 3.5mm headset connector or even the analog out from the pin30 then it's
    100% the same sound output from the phone as it provide a headset

  • How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

    how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
    I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
    Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

    To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
    Now I've got something to do.

  • Streaming audio from clients to server

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for a method in which I can stream audio from a device mac/win to the server which is connected to the good sound system over the local network.
    I have looked at pulseaudio and followed the directions in the wiki, but without any results
    This was a linux to linux setup. But it seems to only get worse when trying to stream from mac/win (found these pages)
    https://labitat.dk/wiki/Apple/Mac_OS_X#PulseAudio
    http://gleamynode.net/articles/2228/
    So what I am looking for here is either a thorough tutorial/directions or a plug n play solution.
    Any inputs, links or directions are greatly appreciated, since I have spent this entire weekend researching it, and failed horribly every time

    hmm its simple and it sort of works. Their is very little documentation as far as I can see.
    I start server by commiting rsd -D -v
    then stream some audio by cat sound.wav | rsdplay -s 127.0.0.1 --raw -r 44100 -c 2
    It sounds very sluggish, and it also tells me that Only 8 or 16 bit WAVE files supported.
    Also it looks like the last update was a OSS patch which was mentioned in the original thread over a year ago
