Streaming directly from iPhone to Airport Express would'nt be great ?

streaming music directly from my iPhone 3GS to any Airport Express, without iTunes and without a Mac ... presuming the iPhone can access the WiFi network !
it would be a dream go true !
do you know an iPhone app doing that ?
or an Apple project in that way ?
Eric, FRANCE

thank you "neuroanatomist", thank you "roaminggnome"
but...
I would like this feature for some reasons :
1- coming home, I would like to listen to my music or audiobooks without turning on my Mac for this elementary task ;
2- I would like to listen to an audiobook when I'm not at home, on my iPhone, and, of course go on listening from the last point when coming home ; so the AB file must be on the iPhone, for these 2 reasons ;
3- when I'm not at home, I would be please to play my friends some music or AB, using their Airport network ;
4- streaming from the iPhone drains its battery but really not a problem : autonomy is good and we can recharge nearly everywhere using USB ;
5- last but not least : currently iTunes has a bug preventing normal playing of long m4b files that play correctly on the iPhone ; but this is another story !
But my request is perhaps unrealizable for 2 reasons :
A- a technical question : is the Airtunes technology able to run without a Mac and iTunes ? in anorther word : to witch level is Airtunes implemented in the Express device ? Or : is it possible to setup an iPhone app able to use the Airtunes technology ?
B- I've never tried to run 2 or more instances of iTunes on the same network, but what happens if I try to stream from each one to the same Airtport Express ? How are managed multiple sources ? Consider an iPhone barging in an Airtunes network and trying to stream to an Express already in use : managable ?
still some uncertainty ...
any help ?
thanks
Eric
I'm a little frenchy, excuse me for my english mistakes !

Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine. When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections? I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

Hi
I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5 and lion on my Mac
just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
Thanks in advance

thanks for your replies.
It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
I'll write to Apple

Streaming music FROM iPhone TO Airport Express?

hi everyone
anybody knows an app who can do this? Stream my iPhone music to an Airport Express?
thanks!

Stream music from iPhone to AirPort Express without network possible?

For an event I want to send music directly to my Aiport Express with AirTunes which of course is plugged into an amplifier/mixer connected to the speakers.
This way I can roam and control the music. Is this possible without a network created by a router? Can one effectively make a direct connection from an iOS device to the Aiport Express; and ad-hoc connection perhaps?

Thanks for the update - I am only familiar with networks and this is actually an iPhone/iTunes question so I would suggest that you re-word your question and re-submit it on the appropriate forum - that being said, if you can do what you want to do with an Express attached to the internet then you can do it this way - however keep in mind that the only audio output on Express is for a regular audio cable or an optical cable - I hope this helps.

Can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet?

can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet? just from phone to express via local network or whatever it's called.

Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections? I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

AirPlay Supported Directly from iOS to AirPort Express?

Does AirPlay support audio streaming directly from an iOS device (iPhone 4 specifically) to AirPort Express-powered speakers?

Yes it does. My speakers on my desk are hooked up to an Airport Express so that I can get up & move my laptop around & the music can stay pumping out of the same speakers.
This is supported in iOS 4.2. It's great. It even turns down the music when a call comes in, because you're technically listening to your iPod. Nice Touch.
I wonder if I'll ever even boot up my computer again!
There are new Text Message Sounds too!
& the volume bar in the multitasking bar (2 slides to the left [as seen on iPad screenshots]) is a great feature too!
Loving this update so far.
(after the initial scare of calendar items & music missing - but they were fine after another sync).

Airplay from iPhone to Airport Express - no sound?

We have two of the new Mac Minis, one new Airport Express and 4 iPhones in the house - and we can use Airplay from both PC´s to the Airport Express hooked up to the stereo - works fine!
And we can se the Airplaybutton on the iPhones and the name of the Airport Express - but we don´t get any sound when we push the button and it turns blue?
We have rebooted alle the devices, made restores, reconnected - but no sound? I just don´t get it?

Same here:
- iPhone 4 with iOS4.2;
- Airport Express with latest firmware;
- Airplay on iTunes 10.1 with Macbook Pro works fine on my home stereo equipment;
- installation of iOS4.2 went fine;
- rebooted already both iPhone and Airport Express;
- Apple support told me to restore original settings on my iPhone, which I didn´t do but very much doubt would help anyway (the lady working for Apple Support didn't even know what "Airplay" was).
I think we are facing a bug and must wait for an Airport Express (or even iOS4.2) software update.

Loud popping streaming music from MBP to airport express

Streaming iTunes – airport express (air tunes) – av amp
Macbook Pro (MBP leopard) (all software updates installed)
AirPort Express Base Station 802. 11n (firmware 7.3.2)
Hi all
I am having a problem when playing music over air-tunes, (optical out) every so often, irrespective of file type and continuously throughout the music being played, I get a very loud popping/cracking noise outputted through the speakers,
This noise is severe enough to be causing damage to my speakers, so is making air-tunes unusable.
I also have a Macbook (leopard up to date) that dose not have this problem, which suggests that its not a problem with airport but with my MBP.
Things I have already tried.
Direct optical connection from MBP to av-amp (music plays fine)
Reinstallation of OSX 10.5.5 (full install e.g. reformat)
Reset of express base station
Rollback firmware of base station to 7.3
Set wireless security to none from wpa2
Tried all possible radio modes
Problem persists over both wireless and wired (gigabit) network cards on MBP
All programs off during testing except iTunes
Tried switching off processes in network utility (have not spent a lot of time on this as not sure/confident as to which are critical system processes).
It seems to me as this is happening with both network cards that this is not a
network hardware problem on the MBP but maybe a background process on MBP is intermittently some how causing a spike of interference.
Also leopard is a resent upgrade, I can’t be sure but I don’t think this problem
happened when I had osx 10.4 installed, certainly when I first setup air-tunes
under 10.4 the problem was not there.
Am about all out of ideas, so I would be very grateful for any input on this.
Kind Regards
Drew…

Anybody out there any ideas???
or perhaps someone hear can point me in the right direction to get some technical support.
Regards,

How do I print from iPhone using Airport Express to a regular printer over enet

I am trying to figure out how to print from my iPhone or iPad to a regular printer that is on my wired ethernet network. I purchased Airport Express and my iPhone recognizes the Airport Express. I connected the USB port to the USB port on printer. The printer recognizes the Airport Express. But my iPhone does not recognize the printer. Any ideas?

See this article about AirPrint: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Note the next-to-last bullet in "Notes" near the bottom:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
I do not believe you can use AirPrint to print to a wired printer, period. Very likely, you cannot use even a printer manufacturer's app to print to such a printer. You would need a wireless printer.

Streaming music from blackberry to airport express?

Does anybody know any applications for streaming music from my blackberry to my airport express? I use airfoil on my PC when not in itunes but can't seem to find anything for the berry...
Thanks in advance.

I'm not aware of any BlackBerry apps that can do this, but another option is the BlackBerry Music Gateway. It would not stream to an AirPort Express, but like the Express, you can use it to stream from your BlackBerry to an audio receiver of self-powered speakers.

Intermittent issue streaming music from iTunes to airport express

I'm experiencing an issue when streaming music from my iMac to two airport expresses (1st generation). Music will be playing fine but once in a great while, when a new song starts it's like a digital bomb has gone off. It's similar to an amber alert coming through the speakers instead of music. When I stop the song and start it again, back comes the music. This has happened to many different song files so I've discounted the possibility that it's a corrupted file. I've not been able to determine any other pattern that would give me some insight into the root of the problem. The problem has existed across two different routers so doubtful that’s a factor either. All my software (iTunes and OS) are up to date and generally the system works well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or advice? I’m at a loss on how to resolve.

Update: this problem exists when just listening to music on iMac with iTues; no airport express or network involved. Something, somewhere in the software is causing this.

Stream music from iPad using Airport Express

I have an AT&T Uverse router for my home wifi network. I want to connect an Airport Express to a powered speaker, then stream music from my iPad (not from a Mac) to the speaker. Is this possible? If so, can someone describe how to do it?

HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
thanks,

Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

Can't connect from iphone to airport express

Plugged airport express into wall outlet. Blinking yellow light. Tried to connect to airport express through iphone. Iphone says "cannot be set up by this"

If it's an older 802.11b/g router you can't use the AirPort Utility on iPhone to configure it. Use the AirPort utility for Mac or Windows. You have many more configuration options using the desktop software as well. The utility on the iPhone is very basic.
