Using airport disc as a music server, and playing music over airtunes
I know that I can put my itunes library on an external hard drive, and that I could access this external hard drive wirelessly if I attached it to an airport extreme. However, if i did this would I still be able to play music over airtunes. It seems that the music would have to be sent wirelessly from the drive to my macbook via the airport extreme, and then from there to the airport express and on to my amplifier. This seems convoluted. Would it work?
I think you are missing the point.
1) It is fast enough. I've never had a problem doing anything I needed to. Also, there is nothing preventing you from hooking directly to the external hard drive for extended data transfers. And unless there is a serious problem, the wireless connection is faster than any burning speed. And it isn't wireless internet. The internet has nothing to do with this. 802.11n has typical throughput speeds of 70-80Mbps. That is a song a second or better.
2) Actually, what gets kept on the shared volume is only the music. The library file, the artwork for albums and everything directly related to how iTunes understands the library remains on the internal drive under the user directory.
3) This is true, but as soon as it regains contact everything is corrected. What is really nice, almost as if Apple intended for it to be so, is that any new songs brought into the library while contact is lost to the Airdisk can be consolidated by simply using the menu item ...consolidate library.
4) Not close. If I gave up the hard drive space it takes to hold my music/video library on my internal hard drive I wouldn't have any space left. I'm thinking you interpreted the situation as referring to someone with a desktop computer. I think in that case, that unique case of a single desktop Mac household, then yes, of course, plug the external drive into the computer. In the other cases, where there are laptops involved, and more than one user, this is part of the beauty of the design of the whole system.
I suggest to you that your response is a very closed view of the possibilities that are possible. You may not see the benefits, but it is by no means pointless.

Can I use airport express in a wired network to play music through my stereo?
I originally used my 1st gen AE to wirelessly stream music from iTunes on my MacPro to my home theater. This works, but there are some good days and some bad days where there are dropouts in the music. I have recently run Cat6 cable to my HT from my router next to my MacPro. This feeds a Gigabit switch that feeds the ATV, receiver, bluray, HD DVD, etc. I plugged in the AE to the switch but it still defaults to the wifi network rather than taking a feed from the ethernet switch. I know i can (and do) use the ATV (gen 1) to steam music, but sometimes it more convenient to use the AE. Is there a way to force the wifi on the AE off and just have it for streaming from iTunes? Thanks.
Yes, you can configure an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a standalone wireless router without Internet access for the purposes of providing a Wi-Fi network for streaming. Note that any computers that will be the host of that stream would need to connect to this AX's wireless network while doing so. They would not be able to be connected to two wireless networks simultaneously for both streaming AND Internet access.

How set up Airport to connect Mac to isp connection AND play music and print?
I used to have an AX wifi in the house with which I surfed, printed and played music.
My isp recently installed a new modem/wireless router in my home. I now have lots of great speed but they couldn't help me retain the ability to send print jobs and music to my (2nd generation) AX base station.
I know I'm going to have to do a hard reset of my AX to clear out the mess I've created in Network configurations trying to get things working. But once the slate's been cleared, I still don't really have a clue about "creating new networks" vs "extending" existing ones etc etc...
Can anyone assist me to set up a freshly reset base station to "piggy-back" on my new isp's wifi network for printing and music purposes? Or perhaps recommend/pass along an article or other reference source that would assist me in doing so?
RichAirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirTunes (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX -
I recently bought some songs from itunes, and I tried to sync my mac air laptop to my nano ipod, but it didn't work. I usually use my PC computer to do this, and my music is in the itunes library on my mac, it just won't sync to my ipod. When I tried to sync my ipod to my PC to see if the computer was the problem, my recently purchased songs still didn't show up. Any ideas as to what to do? Thanks!

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.
In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

called minijack to RCA cable would work -
possible water damaged ipod shuffle, turns on and plays music, but have 3 seconds after turning it on to use buttons then they all lock up
I think that you need to get a new one. I got mine at http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=1552886

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?
MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

ITune automatically launching and playing music
I don't know why my iTune keeps launching itself and playing music early in the moring!!!
How can I stop it??? HELP, plz...1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the last message you saw. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

How to open and play music on Beats Audio in my new HP ENVY PC
I bought a new HP ENVY PC that comes with Beats Audio.
How to I open it and play music?
How to I import music to Beats Audio?
Thanks fr your helpHi,
Beats audio does not provide a program for playing music. You can open Beats audio in Control Panel and configure sound characteristics using the various options available such as the graphics equalizer.
You can play music by opening Windows Media Player or using Cyberlink PowerDVD.
You can also "Google" media players for other programs.

Unable to successfully install iTunes and play music
I have been using iTunes in Windows for over a year and I regularly update the program, when the option pops up. I have never had a problem until now and am completely unhappy. In February (I know this was so long ago, but I've tried everything and can't remedy the problem, so here I am) I downloaded version 6.02, I think it was and my music wouldn't play. So I reldownloaded it and still nothing. I searched these discussions and followed the instructions to uninstall everything. I'm not worried about the music I have everything backed up. So I tried to uninstall everything and I did, but I was unable to delete QuickTime and its components. This was in April. I was really busy and stopped dealing with it, but I was viewing some webpages which required QuickTime and even though it is still on my computer, I was unable to open the pages. I think my iTunes problem is with QuickTime but I don't know, if someone would please help I would appreciate it, because I have been unable to update my ipod, buy new music, and play music on my computer for way too long now. Please help, I would appreciate it, and if I can offer any extra information which would help I will, thanks!
glad to be able to point you in Lorraine's direction, AmySue!
with the syncing thing: if you're planning to use unchecking to manage music syncing to your ipod, first plug in the ipod, and wait until it shows up in the itunes sourcelist. then go "edit > preferences", and click on the "ipod" tab. make sure that "only update checked songs" is checked in there, and click "OK".
that technique can get a bit unweildy for keeping more than a few songs off the ipod, though. another thing you might want to consider is creating a playlist containing all the songs you want on the ipod ("ipod syncing"?), and then heading back into the ipod preferences tab, selecting "Automatically update selected playlists only", and then selecting the "ipod syncing" playlist in the list beneath that, and then clicking OK.
for a bit more info on the various syncing/updating options, see this user tip:

There are two folders in the My Music folder dedicated to iTunes music:
•My Music > AppleReceive
and
•My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music
They share many of the same titles, although some duplicates may be mp3 and m4a. Confusingly, neither format seems to be exclusive to the AppleReceive or iTunes Media folder.
I'm reluctant to playing the "delete one and see what happens" game.
Any theories/suggestions?BCHeller wrote:

No idea what this folder is. Sounds like it is something you created & named.
•My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music
This is the default folder iTunes uses for music. -

IPhone 4 crashes whilst charging and playing music
Hi
Ive been using an iPhone and an itrip auto to both playing music and charge my phone in the car.
Im having issues where the phone will jump back to the silver apple logo when its charging through the iphone cable plugged into the itrip and playing music at the same time.....
If im just charging it, its fine, if im just playing music its fine...... Just not at the same time.
Any suggestions?I realise this hasn't been answered yet but it happens to me quite a lot too.
I'll be listening to music on my iPhone 4 whilst charging my phone and it will inevitably crash and restart. Lately I've realised it happens no matter what I'm doing on the phone as long as it is being charged at the same time.
It never happened on my iPhone 3G.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?
