Using apple express to wirelessly stream music other than from iTunes

Not sure if this is a no brainer, but let's say I want to listen to Sirius radio online, but want to stream it to my airport express hooked up to speakers in my bedroom. I don't know how. The only way I can stream music to my airport express is if i'm listening to something in iTunes. Can anybody help me?

HI HV:
There is a 3rd party application for the mac that will let you stream music from other applications (Called Airfoil) which can be found at: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
There is no Windows application that I'm aware of.
I hope this helps!

  • HT201272 Will Apple give me all the music I purchased from iTunes for my new computer?

    My computer crashed so I bought a new one but my entire music library is gone. And to make matters worse it didn't back up on my external hard drive so I would like to get all the music I purchased from iTunes back on to my new computer. My only thought is I am at the mercy of Apple to get it...am I right? Thank you

    Whether or not you'll be able to depends on what country you're in, and whether the music is still available in the iTunes Store.

  • Using Apple TV 2010 to stream music to exernal speakers?

    I just purchased an Apple TV and connect it to my local wireless network.
    However i cannot find the settings to use my external speakers (2 Airport Express Stations, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom) to stream music or any other content from the Apple TV to the external speakers. I found lots of articles how to do it the other way around by using the Apple TV as external speakers which is working fine.
    I can select the Apple TV through my iTunes, and that as well works fine, but where can i select my external speakers to be used with the Apple TV?

    Annoying isn't it.
    AppleTV 1 had this feature but it is not available on AppleTV2 which can only behave as an Airtunes speaker. A number of times I went to use it in this way and couldn't, but can with my AppleTV 1.
    It may be an oversight, or an assumption along the lines of 'if streaming from iTunes, why not just use the Airport as the speaker from iTunes and not play on ApppleTV?' - on the face of it this is logical until you consider situations where you want to browse play on the TV with a computer in a completely different area.
    We don't all want to use Airplay either, and some may not have the portable devices to do so.
    If however you have an iPhone or iPad and computer is remote from the speakers, the best workaround would be to use Remote app on the device to control iTunes and the output speaker.

  • Stream Music over iPhone from iTunes Server direct to Airport Express?

    Hi all
    I have a wireless network supported from timecapsule which will be expanded via airport extress. I use airport express to stream music from my iTunes library to defined speakers via remote app on my iPhone.
    Due to lack of diskspace on my MacBook Pro, I bought a Synology NAS to store all my music on it and use the iTunes server.
    Unfortunately, there is obviously no app from Apple available to connect to iTunes server (via iPhone or iPad) select music to play and also the speakers to stream to!
    Thanks for your help!
    Regards, Jean-Claude

    I think this is really disappointing especially since it seems to be able to stream from the Apple TV G1 to Airport Express devices. Also it's weird that you will be able to stream from the iPad to Airport Express devices including Apple TV G2 but the same thing is not possible from the Apple TV G2... Let's hope they'll change that but maybe they did it on purpose because the Apple TV G2 is streaming itself... This is really disappointing.
    Also I recognized that music that is played via the home sharing on your Apple TV G2 doesn't include the ratings. Ratings are not transferred via home sharing. I don't think your playcount etc. will be updated as well. This is very disappointing as well. What do you guys think about that?

  • Can you stream music other than iTunes?

    You will need to use Airfoil.

  • My apple id unable to purchases music or apps from itunes store

    It happened many times with my Apple id. Firstly, I was unable to purchases contents from itunes store. The notif "contact itunes support" always appear everytime I tried to purchased. Everytime I met the issue, I always contacted itunes support, but rarely itunes support teams replied my email. This time, it happened again, and even more. Right now I couldn't purchases anything from itunes store even music. It said that I have to verify my billing info. I've tiped everything needed in that billing info also my credit card, but the notif always "security code is invalid". How come it is invalid, when I handed the card my self when I tiped the number on my apple id. I've repeated it over and over again, but the same notif always came.
    Anyone could explain to me, what's happen to my apple id axactly and how to solve this issue.
    Thanks.

    if both itunes on the computer and on the phone dont show any then apple must not be offering that service in your country

  • HT4145 is it possible to use a sngle air port express both for streaming music to an audio system AND as a wireless base station

    is it possible to use a single air port express both for streaming music to an audio system AND as a wireless base station

    Yes you can - if it is your only router or it is after another Apple router - if you have a non-Apple router then it would have to be hard wired to create its' own wireless network.

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
    Cheers,

  • Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous compture and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

    Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous computer and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

    This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new windows installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

    If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
    The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

  • I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I can, I can't get my address book to snyc with my ipad2.  I'm using Outlook express 2004.  I followe the steps in itunes, but still no contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Can't get my address book to sync to IPAD2.  Using Outlook Express 2004.  I followed the steps in Itunes, but still not contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
    Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
