Using Airport Express / Airtunes to play audio from Safari / OSX?

Just bought my first Airport Express. Can I use Airport Express / Airtunes to play out audio from Safari / OSX (or other applications) to my home stereo?

Hi Fenneberg:
Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on your AE purchase!
You'll need a 3rd application to stream music to your AE from other applications like Safari. It's called Airfoil and it can be found at: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
I hope this helps!

  • Airport Express no longer playing audio from iTunes (airtunes) or Airfoil

    My Airport Extreme recently died so I set up a new wireless network with my 2wire modem from AT&T (Uverse). The new wireless network is fine - laptop connects just fine, Apple TV hasn't had any issues, Netflix through my PS3 hasn't had any problems. However, I'm having problems with the Airport Express in my bedroom. It shows up in airport utility with a green light. It has a green light on the unit itself. It shows up in the multiple speakers pop up in iTunes and shows up in Airfoil's list of available speakers. The problem is whenever I connect to it (from iTunes or Airfoil) it plays audio for one second, then nothing.
    It worked fine with my old network set up. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue as I can see it with no problems and things connect to it fine. Is it possible that it just happen to die at the same time that the Airport Extreme died? So when I set up the new wireless network, it was dead? I'm on 10.7.4.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    some times the electricity blinks in the house... have you tried restarting both units... just unplug it for ten seconds then plug back in.

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

    I have

    Sorry, but there is no current solution for this. For now iOS (iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch) devices can only stream to one AirPlay device at a time.

  • If using airport express on cell network and using only the airplay connected to stereo does it use data allowance if playing music on iOS device " not streaming from net"?

    If using airport express to play iTunes music with airplay feature with cell network (hotspot on cell phone) does it use data allowance?

    No

  • How do I use my airport express as my default audio for a laptop?

    I can stream music from iTunes to our airport exoress no problem, but I'd like to be able to use the speakers connected to our Airport Express as the default audio output for my MacBook Pro - i.e for all sounds, aps, etc.  This would allow me to wirelessly stream music or any other audio (not just iTunes) and then have it played through the speakers.  I've googled and looked here, but cannot seem to find a clear cut answer that isn't two plus years old in all the clutter.
    Thank you in advance.
    (PS - I'm working on a MacBook Pro with the latest and currently up to date OS X 10.7.2)

    The bottom line is that you will need an application like Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac to the AirPort Express.

  • Using Airport Express to play music while surfing the web via netgear

    Can I play music over my airport express (airtunes), while simultaneosly surfing via a different wireless router. As it stands I have been unable to do this, because I have to set my wireless connection to one or the other. When I link up to my NETGEAR for browsing, the remote speakers in itunes become unavailable.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi, thanks for your help. It got me reading, and here's what I figured out:
    The problem was when I originally set the profile I had my internet cable plugged into the airport express; So the set up assistant assumed that i would be using that as my internet connection. I just had to re-setup with the airport ONLY plugged into the stereo.
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • Use airport express to extend network from linksys wrt54g

    Hello all, I'm having no luck here, and hope you can help me. I am running a MacBook Pro, 2.16 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 Gigs ram, OS X 10.6.8.I am at work, trying to use a newly purchased AirPort Express to extend the signal from the back office, which has a Linksys WRT54G router. I updated the router's firmware to 1.02.8, build 001, dated 8.5.09. I have tried numerous times to configure the AE using AirPort Utility, and always wind up with an error message, "An error occurred while updating the configuration. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)" During the configuration process, I am asked what I want to do with AE, I have tried both "create a new wireless network," and "I want AE to join my current network," with no success. Any comments will be appreciated.

    The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS (through version 4 only for both models) were said to be compatible with Apple's WDS settings.
    Perhaps this article may offer some clues, but it is doubtful that you will be able to make this work with the particular version of Linksys router that you have.

  • Is it possible to play audio from video in the background while using a different app?

    I would like to be ale to play audio from a video file in videos (or av player hd) in the background whie using a diffent app in my iPad 2. (ie watching a video while taking notes on the content or highlighting an e-textbook).
    Is this possible? Either through the original iPad functionality or by downloading a separate app?
    Thanks,

    Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else.  If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
    I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works.  If it doesn't, it doesn't.

    Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.
