Streaming music - not radio

Is there any intention to produce a version of iTunes that allows music to be streamed (& not downloaded) on a subsription basis ?
I know that there are other services offering this - Apple has the largest library for this and excellent software, it could be a good move.
I like listening to a broad range of music but don't really want to listen to it many times and don't want to buy all of it.

  • Removing IOS 5 and reverting to ios 4 (iphone 4) - as it will not allow me to download apps or stream music on radio apps.

    HI
    i updated to ios 5 today on my iphone 4 much to my dismay it cant stream radio apps i paid for anymore because it somehow HOGS the internet, but yet when i tried to play one of the multiplayer adventure games it is fine.  i dont know if its an INDIVIDUAL app issue whereby i have to enable or disable something or something within the settings to do with the itnernet i need to change?
    i cant even download apps on my iphone either it gives an error reading something along the lines of my internet; i connect at home with wifi and successfully stream music radio apps through my home speaker system; or i did do so before updating to this TRASH!. so i'm sure you can understand why i now ask to remove ios5 otherwise there is no point in me keeping the iphone, i have one year left on my mobile contract with orange to pay for.
    i need to perform a downgrade, i have ONE back up from july which would be the ios4 version if i restore it using this back up file in itunes, would it definately remove the ios 5 and put the ios4 backon my iphone ?

    You can NOT downgrade iOS.
    That said, millions people have updated to iOS 5 without experiencing the problems you report. Why don't you try some basic troubleshooting before you resort to drastic measures.
    Restoring from your backup will NOT revert the phone to iOS 4.
    First, try to reset all settings. This will re-set the network settings and clear any personalization (wallpaper, custom assigned ringtones, etc.) but you will not lose any data.
    Then, try a simple re-set. If that doesn't work, try restoring from your last backup. If that doesn't work, Erase all content and settings and set it up as a new device.  It's possible one or more of the apps you are trying to use

  • Streaming music & not downloading

    Does anyone know if there is a way of streaming music from my iCloud account to my iPhone 3GS rather than it downloading when I want to play it, as I have very little memory left on my phone, and each time I want to play it takes up more memory. Thanks in advance

    If someone wants your song they'll get it. There's always a way to capture whatever is available online. Best deterrent is to use a Flash player instead of QT. Not directly available through iWeb you'd have to search to find out how. However as mentioned before if someone wants the song they'll get it. One can easily capture the song played through a Flash player not as easy as clicking a link to download the song but obtainable none-the-less.

  • Can't See Shared Music (Not radio button problem!)

    I haven't been able to see Shared Music on my college network since I reinstalled Windows XP (around iTunes 4.8). I don't know what settings have changed.
    I now have the latest iTunes, the radio buttons are on. I heard about opening up a port, and bonjour service. I'm not sure how to execute those solutions.
    Thanks for your time,
    Connie

    Although that was a very helpful hint that I can in fact play Mac's iTune Music on iPad without syncing, it's not solving my primary issues, which are:
    1. I bought some music via iTunes on iPad and I can't get them to Mac, because that Shared label is not present in my Mac iTunes
    2. I want some of my Mac iTunes music to sync to iPad anyway, because I want to play it also when not being on home share network.
    3. When I synced iPad, many apps have been removed from it and are not there anymore, but appear in Mac's iTunes in that Apps section under iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Apps, but are not below in iPad Apps - I don't know how to get them back to iPad and how to prevent this to happen again
    These are maybe trivial questions, but I wasn't able to find answers and don't have so much time to search more.
    Thanks.

  • Streaming music to radio

    In one of my mates phone (nokia n95), he can stream his own fm radio (e.g when a song is playing, he can listen through the car's fm). Can this be done with nokia x6, or I need another 3rd party apps.

    Hi lozumaster,
    Welcome to our Nokia forum.
    You can definitely do this with your Nokia X6-00, though it's dependant on the stereo you have in your car.
    You will be able to connect your phone to your car's stereo via Bluetooth if your car stereo supports this, or via a direct connection to your car's stereo with a head phone jack, if it has a direct line connection. If you go to an audio shop they'll be able to provide you with such a cable, though you need to make sure your car supports this.
    Hope this helps!

  • Stream music/radio via airport express' but not using itunes

    Hi,
    I currently have 2x airport express in different rooms and I stream music etc from my itunes to them (via my airport extreme basestation). Is there any way I can stream net radio or music from other apps to it? E.g. I'd like to listen to the bbc radio player on my stereo, but it is only connected wirelessly to my airport express.
    Being able to do this would make my mac experience near perfect!
    Thanks!

  • I use to stream music from my iphone to my airport express via my stereo, it no longer is an option on the radio app. what has happened?

    Not sure what has happened to my airport expres but I can no longer stream music to my stereo via the TuneIn Radio app or using my macbook pro, need help in fixing this problem.

    UPDATE:
    I have been stress testing StreamToMe in the house and  "out in the wild" and it is working very well.  There are one or two clunky steps in order to switch from the in-my-house wifi to the cellular network but it's just better (to me) than uploading about 750 GB of music that is restricted by iTunes rules and limitations to "the cloud".   The major advantage is that this solution plays more file formats than iTunes will.  In addition, I can access music files anywhere on my mac - even if they are not in my iTunes library. Playlists from iTunes are available, too.
    I am not associated with this company in any way.  I am astounded that there are not more solutions available and that there are not more people discussing this issue.  Subscription models like Spotify are great and the cloud is fine for those that don't have large libraries  But when I have a humongous library and I don't want to move it around up and down to someone else's server or pay to access it after I have already paid for it I find the lack of ease of doing this baffling.
    I hope that this info can help someone looking for information relating to this type of solution...

  • Iphone 4 will not stream music in 3g

    My Iphone 4 will not stream music on 3g. It will connect to pandora, Iheart, or some local radio stations play for a min, stop, then buffer or just quit playing. This is a problem that started about a week ago. Prior to this week, worked fine all day long. WIFI is not available in this location, so that is not an option.

    A couple of last things come to mind as I think this through. I know the screen shots I'm going to provide are in Windows, but it should be quite similar.  On the Summary screen under options, there is a box for sync only checked music, not sure if you have that checked.
    And then on the Music tab, how you have music checked.
    I cannot think of anything else after that.

  • Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

    Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.  ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac.  I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER.  They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM?  My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious.  I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated.  I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE.  Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

  • I can not stream music

    I have been a faithful apple customer but am very upset at the moment. After years of haveing a reliable apple tv now I can no longer under any circumstances stream music. I try and it just reboots. Try again and it just reboots. This is the case from Imac to appletv via home sharing, the music app on apple tv, and itunes radio. Please fix this issue.

    Working just fine on my system as well as the majority, there's been an issue on your system as a result of something that's been corrupted. If a restore doesn't work then take it in to be assessed.

    No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

  • Not streaming music, video, etc

    My iPad won't stream music, or play videos from YouTube, I player etc. I actually have a work ipad too, which will stream content and have compared settings but cannot see anything different between the two iPads. Ay suggestions?

    I do extensive Photoshop and InDesign work with my 2011 MacBook Air. In terms of performance it is more than capable. I've not yet run the new Adobe CC software (and probably won't unless work subscribes for me) but the latest Adobe CS runs well. A 13" display makes things a bit cramped but since I work mostly at my desk, a 22" LG display solved that problem.
    I'm not impressed by the rMBP computers - I consider them a gimmick. The display pushes a huge number of pixels and even the discrete video card is barely up to the task. In my testing there were times graphic redraws felt very sluggish compared to the new 2012 MBA. Also because Apple hasn't yet implemented a resolution independent GUI, I'm not comfortable using it for text intensive purposes.
    In terms of doing what you want, either machine will do the job and should last through college. But due to the huge display the rMBP and MBA are hard to compare in terms of CPU speed etc because they are such different animals. I strongly suggest you find a place and time to use both and find which fits your needs best.

    2. not that I know of
    been looking for something a bit like it got an old ipod thouch in a audio dock in the kitchen and want to give it access to all my music not just play what is synced
    so far my only options is to get an app to use upnp to get the music directly from my nas
    or get some app which require the computer to be running and running some program to handle it
    and as far as I can tell getting access to stuff synced on the atv is a no go

  • Can stream music to Airport express from Mac, but not windows

    I set up an Airport express for music streaming from a pc at my uncle's, and he used it without issue for 1-2 years. It suddenly stopped working for him, and was flashing amber. I was unable to configure wirelessly, but finally configured it with my Mac and an Ethernet cable.
    We are able to stream music to it now, wirelessly, from my Mac. But neither his windows 7 pc, nor his windows 8 pc can stream to it. The airport does not show up on iTunes on either computer. Also, airport utility on the pc does not see the device.
    I have tried everything I can think of: different settings on the airport, disabling firewalls on the pc, etc.
    Is there a way to get this working for him again?

    Bump again.
    I'm also running into this problem. I have an Actiontec MI424WR and an Airport Extpress A1084.
    When using WPA or WPA2, the AE can't seem to connect to the Actiontec. Has anyone found a solution to this?
    Side note, I had been using a Netgear WNDR3800 as a wireless access point plugged into the (wifi disabled) Actiontec. In this configuration the AEs connected fine, but my network performance was pretty awful. In trying to troubleshoot, I'm removing the Netgear device from the picture to simplify. Now that I've enabled the wifi on the Actiontec, all my other devices (iphones, ipads, computers) connect fine, just not the AE's.
    Thanks for any advice.

  • Airport Express for music streaming, but not Internet?

    I currently connect my PowerMac G5 to the Internet via a direct connection. How do I setup the A/E to stream music from my PowerMac G5 (Airport equipped), without disrupting the existing Ethernet connection?

    If you want your G5 to be on the Internet AND stream music at the same time, the AirPort Express (AX) must be connected to your Internet source. The G5 can not use the Ethernet connection for Internet and the AirPort connection for streaming music at the same time.
    If you have a wired router but do not have a wireless router, you could connect both the G5 and AX to the wired router.
    If you do not have a router of any kind (other than the AX), you could connect AX to the ISP connection and then have the G5 wirelessly connect to the AX.
    OR you could connect a wireless router to the ISP connection and then have the G5 and AX wirelessly connect to the router. Alternatively the G5 could be connected to the wireless router via Ethernet.
