Using multiple speakers with AirPlay on iPad

On my Mac I can play music from iTunes on my computer, Apple TV and on my Airport Express. But on the iPad I can only pick one, is there anyway i can choose multiple speakers on the iPad?

HOUSE PARTY SUCCESS!!!
I have an ATV3 in the living room, one in the bedroom, and one in the garage (for streaming music out there too...). To get the whole compound in sync and have the same music everywhere AND control it from my iPhone, it was / is this easy:
In iTunes, select multiple airplay devices so everywhere you want the music playing is selected. Use the Apple Remote app on your iPhone / iPad and control your iTunes, NOT your ATV. Bada-bing! Full house party music to all the devices and controlled by the phone in your pocket!!!
They should still let you do this from any iOS device directly though...
Enjoy!

About iPad iOS 4.2 beta Airplay can't use multiple speakers?

About iPad airplay can't use multiple speakers?
My iPad use the latest ios4.2 beta1 ,there is 3 airport express in my house.
In iOS 3.2 I can use the App "Remote" to control 3 speakers perfectly,but "Remote" even can install in ios4.2 ,not use smoothly.
After I upgrade iOS to 4.2, I can use Airplay to control each speaker without "Remote",but can't use multiple speakers at the same time. Is anyone like me?
Is there have any other solution can fix this problem?
Thanks!

I completely agree with Tamara, if you are running iOS 4.2, then you should also realize that there are two aveanues for you to get questions answered
1) the developer forums (there is a specific forum area for 4.2 questions, marked in a big red banner across the top saying something about confidentiality.)
2) The bug reporting tool available to developers, noted at the top of the iOS 4.2 forum page. When you go there read the format intructions linked to at the top of the form to ensure you put it in the format that is required for formal developer bug reports.

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime? How do I do that?

They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

Sound Drop Out When Attempting to Use Multiple Speakers

Disclaimer: I've spent 3-4 hours searching for the answer, so - I'm posting another "Sound Drop Out" thread.. sorry!
I have 1 new AirPort Extreme, and 3 Expresses. I can stream music to one at a time without much problem. As soon as I try to go to more than 1 the sound gets very, very choppy (this includes 1 airport express and the computer speakers).
My iTunes library is on a USB airport disk shared from the Extreme.
I see many posts about not being able to connect to multiple speakers with Leopard 10.5.1 (which I am using) - but I am not getting the error messages those people are seeing. Also, my firewall is configured correctly.
My network is well within 150ft. The extreme is creating a network, and all the expresses are configured to join the network. I thought of setting up a WDS network, but would this be worth the trouble (I am having problems getting it configured correctly)?
I doubt signal strength is a problem. If I can stream to the express alone, why cant I play to the express and the computer speakers simultaneously? That wouldn't have anything to do with the wireless network signal strength?
Looking forward to your suggestions. I'm spending way too much time getting this to work. Apple is supposed to "just work" -right? LOL.

I think this has to do with the airport scanning for different networks. I have 2 airport express stations hooked up in different rooms, and the speakers drop out all the time. It *****.
But when I watch the airport on my laptop (streaming the music), the time counter next to the airport icon goes away momentarily. I think it's somehow disconnected from the network, or is scanning networks.
There are a number of posts regarding the airport constantly scanning networks, but I haven't found anything yet that helps keep the airport connected. It definitely seems to be worse in the evenings when a lot of people are using their computers.
When your speakers drop out, do the numbers next to the airport icon (on the serving computer) freeze or disappear?

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

Hi Anne,
I'm pretty sure different eMail addies are needed for different Apple IDs.

Using Multiple Ipods with 1 PC

What do I need to do so that my daughter can also maintain a plat list on my PC.
I have my play list for my ipod. She would like to have her own play list/ipod set up on my pc as well.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this...
Using Multiple iPods With One Computer
Also, you can have many different playlists set up in one iTunes library and have iPods just sync from one playlist.
I am assuming you want two different libraries?
Either way, see the link for more information.

Using multiple pens with Photoshop CS4

Hello,
as some of you already know, in older Photoshop versions (5.0 and 5.5) there was a possibility to use multiple pens with the help of the old Wacom Tool-ID Plugin.
Isn't there any way to port this old plugin to Photoshop CS4? I would like to use my Airbrush & Grip Pen with different colors and brushes by simply changing them.
If this way is impossible, would it be too difficult to create such a plugin by myself? (With the Photoshop SDK and so on).
thanks,
Matthias Clasen

Thanks 99jon,
I appreciate the careful and easy to understand reply, Jon99. Versions of P higher than CS4 are prohibitively expensive for me at this stage. If I get on with digital photography then I might look at the PCS and L CC subscription option in the future.
I went ahead I aquired my bargain basement version of P CS4 and like it so far, but I held back on LR5 until I had a clearer view of what it enables me to do and thanks for the information.
Do you or anyone know if I can sell my version of P CS4 when if I decide to move up to the Cloud solution? Flicking through another Pogue-style book seems to suggest that the latest versions of P CS and L are the current state-of-the-art. Is there a simple list of what users of this option consider to be the main, *essential* improvements of the latest versions of these two pieces of software that possibly make it a must-purchase. I am not after an exhaustive list, but just the main improvements that may make this an essential purchase after I cut my teeth with P CS4.
I am a real novice and have included the specs of my camera and MacBook Pro in my previous post for anybodies info in order to help me.
Many thanks,
David

You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
Instructions here > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad > Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
Apple - Accessibility - OS X
I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" > System requirements for iCloud
