Using AirTunes with other applications

What I want to do is to stream the audio output from the 2 laptops in my house (MacBooks with Leopard) wirelessly to a hi-fi. I know an AirPort Express will do this with iTunes, but I don't think it will work with other applications, which is what I want.
Am I right, and is there any cost-effective way to do what I want to do (Apple solution or not)?
Thanks in advance.

You might try Airfoil:

  • Can i use Airplay with other applications different to iTunes on my Mac Pro?

    Hi,
    I bought a Mac Pro 13' Retina Display two weeks ago and today i bought a Bose SoundTouch 20 and i connected both to my home network by ethernet cord. when i try to use applications like iTunes to send the sound of a song from mac to bose it work perfect, but when i try to do the same with spottily (i downloaded the app for my mac) simply doesn't work and don't know why. Another issue is that either can't send the sound of the movies and videos from mac to bose (i already try this using this configuration: send by airplay the movie to apple tv and from apple tv send the sound to bose, all work perfect because all was connected with ethernet cord).
    So the question is, Anyone know why the Airplay function only work with iTunes and with other applications simply doesn't?

    AirPlay only works with iTunes for Mac OS, iOS devices, and Apple TV.
    Not third party (non Apple) apps such as Spotify
    If the Bose Sound Touch supports Bluetooth, you may be able to stream music to the Mac or Apple TV. That's for sound, not video.

  • Using Remote with other Applications

    Okay, so I want to use my Apple remote to control VLC (a media player) so I can use it whenever without having to get up and pause, skip forward, or skip backward with my keyboard. So anyway...I downloaded this program that looked very promising
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23518
    But it doesn't seem to let me add new applications which is a real bummer. Has anyone figured out a way to do this, or something similar to customize the uses of the Apple remote? Any help is greatly appreciated

    I think you may want this,http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/mira.html it cost money for the full version but the demo works just fine(it seems to last forever).

  • Can i use labview with other applications

    Hi,
    I was wondering if i could use an application written in c++ with labview...
    like the whole application has a lot of feactures... and kind of acts like a
    debugger for our products....
    So, how would i be able to combine this application with labview...
    Ne thoughts of doing it in some other way...would also be appreciated..
    thx
    Abhimanyu...
    (also please refer to my last post...from yesterday)

    Well i don't think there is easier way of bring your VC++ app with graphics into labview unless you create an ActiveX control (which would be laborious) out of it using ATL/MFC. Then calling that ActiveX control in ActiveX container in labview and use the exported properties and method of that control.
    But if you want to get the functionality transported, the best way i would go with is writing DLL that exports functions from your C++ app and call that DLL in labview.

  • When I'm using a browser (like Safari) in Yosemite, how can I shrink it and share my desktop with other applications?

    I have an iMac, and after installing Yosemite (OS 10.10), all my browsers (like Safari) no longer share the screen with other applications, like Word or even Calculator.  How can I shrink Safari (or any browser) and share my desktop with other applications?

    When I'm using any browser (at the moment, it's Safari), I am unable to resize the window.  The browser BECOMES my entire desktop.  And if I open another application, suddenly the browser vanishes to the right, so I can only see the other app.  AND my dock disappears into a solid black space below the screen, which I can penetrate with my curser (after dragging the curser back and forth above and below the black space until the dock eventually reappears.  But if I select any app in the browser to open, then Safari vanishes instantly to the right of the screen.  I've tried to resize Safari (and Firefox and Chrome) by moving the curser to the bottom right of the browser, but that old standby doesn't seem to work anymore.  The browser takes up all of the screen, except for a small portion of the top, where my curser can reveal Safari's old menus, and the bottom of the screen, which is entirely black until I can locate my dock by dunking the curser up and down in the black ooze.
    I really want the old convenience of my Mac, where several programs can open side by side, but Yosemite seems to have precluded that possibility.  What can I do?

    Yes, mission control threw everything across the screen (which is way beyond anything I could figure out), but the real answer I needed came from Apple Tech Support, which I finally called, and I learned about the two arrows in the top righthand corner, when I held the cursor there, which turned blue and resized and released the browser from total domination of the screen.  Those two, opposite-pointing arrows allowed me to shrink the browser and let other applications be seen on the desktop.  But thank you for extending a helpful tip, which I can use another time.

  • MathScript Nugget #19: Sharing Data With Other Applications

    In MathScript Nugget #18, we looked at ways to transfer data between MathSript and the rest of LabVIEW. In today's nugget, we'll see some of the different ways that MathScript can share data with programs besides LabVIEW.
    The most common way to share data between programs is by reading and writing files. MathScript supports several file formats that are recognized by other programs. The ones we'll touch on in this nugget are MLV, MAT, CSV, TXT, TDM(S) and XLS.
    The easiest way to bring data into MathScript is with the 'load' function. The help topic for this function does a great job of explaining it. The load function will bring in a group of variables that have been saved to a file earlier. The most common formats that load supports are:
    MLV files created with MathScript save function
    MAT files created with  version 6.0 or earlier of The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® software
    TDM and TDMS binary measurement files created in LabVIEW or DIAdem
    The load and save functions are great for storing off a group of variables to be used again in a future session of MathScript. You can do the same thing using the Operate>>Load Data... and Operate>>Save Data... menu items in the MathScript Window. These support the same file formats as load and save.
    The best formats to use if you want to share data with other applications are TXT, CSV, and XLS. MathScript has special funcitons to read and write each of these formats. The functions, such as fread_csv and fwrite_xls, are all members of the support class.
    The last way to read and write data files with MathScript is to use a custom file format. MathScript supports common file operations like fread and fwrite. You can use these functions to create or import files of any binary or textual format.
    There's one last way to move data out of MathScript without using files. You can copy data from the MathScript Window or MathScript Probe as tab-delimited text to your OS clipboard. You can then paste this text to a text editor or spreadsheet program.
    Hopefully now you have an idea of the many ways to move data into and out of MathScript.

    TDM and TDMS are also excellent file formats to share your data with other applications. National Instrumenst offers free libraries and add-ins to access TDM and TDMS files with e.g. Excel, OpenOffice Calc or The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® software. Have a look at this page to

  • Adobe FLME Error Message "Please check if video devices are connected properly and are not used by any other application."

    Hello, I'm trying to use my MAC Book Pro with Adobe FMLE. Once I select either my internal or external camera and microphone, in the live encoder I get this error message. "Please check if video devices are connected properly and are not used by any other application." The Facetime HD camera works in Photo Booth. Can someone assist me in what to do please, Thanks in advance!

    Hi all ,
    We found the solution for this issue .
    We have installed the crypto library in global executable directory and any way it will replicate those binaries to individual application servers.
    But the parameters are still looking for global executable directory for loading crypto library during time.
    So all application servers are trying to load crypto library files from global "exe" instead of local directory, which was clustered .Sometimes during  heavy network load it may cause some delays to load the libraries to individual application servers and in turn is causing the license key issues.
    Note 982056 - The license key library has not been initialized yet..
    SAP Recommend option for all SSF parameters should be instance profile parameters not in default parameters..This was mentioned in below note:
    Note 662340 - SSF Encryption Using the SAPCryptolib --- .
    But in our Environment SSF and SEC parameter were set in DEFAULT profile instead Instance profile.
    Recommendations:
    o     ssf/ssfapi_lib  = <Path and file name of SAPCRYPTOLIB>
    o     sec/libsapsecu  = <Path and file name of SAPCRYPTOLIB>
    This was mentioned in the below SAP HELP.

  • Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation

    Is it normal that Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation? I want to play music synced in my ATV 1st gen. to a nymber of speakers in the house. In the list of speakers I can see Apple TV itself and my two Airport Expresses 1st generation but not my Apple TV 2nd generation or my Airport express 2nd generation. For the ATV 2nd gen. I found a solution: when I enable the Airplay setting of XBMC which is installed on my ATV 2nd generation, then AirTunes in ATV 1st gen. sees the speaker "XBMS (Apple-TV)". Itunes can in my Macbook pro can use Airplay with all my speakers, i.e. ATV 1st gen., ATV 2nd gen., Airport Express 1st gen., Airport Express 2nd gen.

    Last time I checked ATV1 could not use Airtunes to send audio to an AppleTV 2 or 3 - highly annoying as you think they would have kept backwards compatibiility for audio, but it seems Airplay is more than a superset of Airtunes.

  • Opening a file with other applications

    Is there a way to open a file in Java with other applications automatically? For example, *.gif - Photoshop, *.txt - notepad.

    If you are using Windows, then yes there is.

  • How can I communicate with other applications from my Java application?

    Hello,
    I need help about how can i communicate with other application(say textpad.exe/wordpad.exe/MS word.exe) from my Java program.
    More precisely, I need to know how i can get the current position of the cursor whether it is in any .txt/.doc files, then I may write some text in my java application and click a button and then my program will append the line(string) in that position of the file which is running under another appliction(Notepade.exe/MSword.exe).
    Please provide me some help.

    I may be wrong (and anyone, please correct me if so), but Java may not be the best tool for something such as this. I envision that you'd have to make some OS calls such as calls to the user32.dll, and while this can be done through the JNI, you'd still have to have a C or C++ program doing the dirty work.

  • If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

    If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

    You need to clarify where you are as Virgin Mobile are a Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) brand however the terms and offers differ in each country.
    If you are in the USA the brand is actually franchised and operated by Sprint .
    Operating on Sprint CDMA and LTE frequency bands.
    The CDMA radio will be provioned to work off of the Sprint towers - This IS locked down and can't be used on any other network -for instance Verizon.
    The phones GSM Sim card holder and radios should be unlocked but we won't know for sure until the handsets are available to test.
    The models in question are the A1453 - 5S ad A1456- 5C- these support the most channel frequencies of any iPhone , however NOT the all important European LTE band 7 (2600mhz)
    So it is highly likely that the Virgin USA model will have unlocked SIM and GSM support will work on all European 3G and most earlier 2 and 2.5G networks however may have patchy to no European LTE support.
    Note that comment reqarding 2G (GPRS) and 2.5 G (Often called Edge) - A number of European countries and mobile operators are re-provisionng (reusing) frequencies in the 800mhz spectrum to 800DD (digital) for future LTE and where this takes place normal subscibers without LTE contracts will loose service in some areas.
    This is already taking place in the UK - Beware.
    Virgin Mobile UK are not currently an Apple iPhone dealership.
    And other countries with the band including Canada, France and India I have information about.
