Using airplay with desktop pc

I have configured my airport express to airplay itunes to my stereo.  it works fine on my windows laptop on my linksys wireless in home wifi network.  I get the icon to choose the airport express speakers and can remote control that librrary using my iphone 4, two family ipads and my ipod touch 2g.  
however, the library on my Windows 7 PC destop (wired NIC) on the same network cannot find the airport express nor can i remote control that library.  the airport utility on the pc can only see the airport express when it is connected to an ethernet cable.
i am running this with the airport express plugged into an electrical outlet and only the audio jack plugged from the airport express to the stereo input.  nothing is plugged into the usb or ethernet ports of the airport express.

No.  Had same issue on two win7 pcs.  Fixed by enabling multicast filtering on advanced wireless settings of linksys wrt610n router
Thank you for reply.  I run a dr. Dre boom box with my airport express and added apple tv to take advantage of 7.1 av sound system. Steaming iTunes from pc to either or both over wifi.

    AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

  • Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
    As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

  • I have an Iphone 4S on ios7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver from Pioneer (VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router. I no longer get the airplay icon on my iphone? Any suggestions?

    I have an iphone 4S on ios 7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver (Pioneer VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router and the roouter is working fine with the five elements on the network. Prior to the upgrade to 7.0.3 and the router upgrade the airplay feature working fine and i was able to consistently use airplay to stream music th the AV receiver. After the upgrades the airplay icon no longer appears on my iphone or on my macbook running itunes. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot the missing airplay icon is much appreciated.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • HT2499 Can I use Airplay with dvd to watch dvd on my tv via AppleTV 3?

    Can I use Airplay with dvd to watch dvd on my tv via AppleTV 3?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. If your Mac is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can watch your DVD in your TV with the Apple TV. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 You just have to play the DVD on your MacBook and turn on AirPlay Mirroring.
    If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party app like Beamer

  • Is there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently

    s there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently???

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Forced to use Airplay with Apple tv

    I just bought a new Retina MBP 15 inch, and since I got it with the educational discount promotion, I also got an Apple Store gift card. And with which I redeemed an Apple tv. At first having an Apple tv is an invaluable addition to making my whole house much more connected. But now it's simply more and more frustrating.
    Basically I was trying to watch a video on YouTube last night on my Retina MBP using a pair of headphone, and for some reason no audio came through and the sound controls became incredibly unresponsive. I later figured it out that it's because my computer had selected Airplay as the audio output device. However for some reason, I can't seem to change that. I've just been trying to use the built in speakers on the Retina MBP to try to play some music from iTunes, however, when ever the system tries to play any sort of music, or any sound in that matter, the output device will just get switched to Airplay, which is the Apple tv, and I can't get my computer to play any sound through the built in speaker.
    This is solved only when either I turned off wifi on my Retina MBP, which cuts off the connection to the Apple tv, or I unplug the power cable on the Apple tv all together to prevent it from waking up and connecting with my MPB.
    This is extremely frustration if anyone has a viable solution to this problem it would be a LIFE SAVER. So THANK YOU in advance! (you can see the level of frustration here with the capital letter)

    You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
    Sorry.
    For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

  • How to use Airplay with AE and ATV with no internet connection?

    I am currently at a resort that only has the AT&T Wi-fi.  Unelss someone knows how to hook an AppleTV into an AT&T network and get past their acceptance of terms screen I need to figure out how to get this to to work.
    I have an airport Express set up as it's own network.  I had the Apple TV join that netowork as well as my iPad.  When I start to play a movie the Airplay icon comes up and I tell it to use the AppleTV.  On the TV a notification comes up in the corner that has the movie name but then that's it.  It never plays. The AE was unhappy about not having an internet connection but I told it to ignore not having one and it turned green.
    As far as I can tell I should in theory be able to have the AE be it's own network without internet and use Airplay between my iPad and the ATV.  It's just a no go and I can't tell why.
    Thoughts?  Settings I may not be aware of? I can't figure it out.

  • How to use airplay with wifi dongle?

    My mac's wifi adapter was broken, so I bought a wifi dongle - ASUS USB-N10.
    It wasn't work until I installed the driver: http://www.wireless-driver.com/realtek-rtl8192su-adapter-macos-drivers-ver1082/
    And however it seems to be a wifi assistant to help me using my wifi dongle more than a simple driver, and my mac recognize the wifi dongle as a lan connection, so I just cannot use airplay anymore!
    The question is: how can I make my mac recognize the wifi dongle correctly (as a wifi)?

    AirPlay is only compatible with AirPort base stations.
    The dongle is not compatible with AirPlay.
