Using remote speakers with non-iTunes sound

The Apple Remote app is great in that I can play and control any iTunes music and play it on a remote speaker through my mac. However, is there a way to play sound generated by an iPhone application that is NOT part of iTunes library remotely on an airport express speaker, for example ? This will be handy to play output from programs such as guitar apps and my favorite "Easy Relax" sounds etc.

I was just talking to a friend who was doing pretty much what you were asking about ... I haven't tested it myself but from what he said it sounds like what you were asking!
Basically he has an iTrip connected to his iPhone which he uses to play his music wirelessly through the radio in his car but he has tried it with both TapTap Revenge and TouchGrind so far and both apps seem to send audio through the iTrip the stereo as well!
I believe this is the iTrip he has ... http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripdock but they have many others to choose from ... http://www.griffintechnology.com/category/fmtransmitters ... (I assume all will work the same)
It's not exactly what you were hoping for (it doesn't go through the AirPort Express) but if you have a radio connected to your speakers it should do want you were wanting, hope this helps!

Just added Lion and now can't use remote speakers with iTunes

I recently installed the Lion OS (10.7.4) and now I cannot access my remote connection to my home stereo for iTunes. I can't find the icon to even select multiple spakers.

I suggest optening the Print & Scan Sytem Preferences. Once the preference pane opens highlight your printer in the Printers column on the left side of the window, then click on the little minus sign below the printer in order to remove your current printer selection.
Once your printer has been deleted, then click on the little plus sign located next to the minus sign in order to re-select your printer. Once the 'AddPrinter' window opens simply select your printer from the list. Make sure the printer is powered ON, there are no error LED's ON, and that any necessary cables are connected to your iMac. Hopefully reselecting the printer will resolve your issue.

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

How to use 5.1 computer speakers with PS3 via Sound Blast

Hi,
i dont have the money to buy a second set of surround sound speakers to use with my PS3. I already have a set of Creative 5. surround computer speakers that connect via 3.5mm jacks into my sound card, there is no optical port on the speakers.
Is there a way to use these speakers with the PS3 as well. I was thinking along the lines of could i buy a new Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme audio card which has an optical-in socket and connect my PS3 to the sound card via optical cable, and use the new Sound Blaster as an amp to redirect the sound to the computer speakers back out along the sound cards 3.5mm jack connections.
I have no idea if this would work or not so before i buy the new sound card i could anybody confirm or deny whether this works. And if not any suggestions?
Thanks alot, i appreciate any help.

thanks again but perhaps i didnt explain clearly enough. I dont want to have simultaneous optical input and output, other wise there wouldnt be a problem. The speakers i have are 5. computer speakers. The computer is connected to them via 3*3.5mm jacks from the sound card to the sub, the other sattelite speakers are connected by audio rca to the sub. My speakers have no optical-in on them, hence having to to re-route the sound through a sound card (if it would work). Essentialy using the sound card as an amp or as a big optical to 3*3.5mm jack adaptor.

Airtunes - Remote speakers connected, not playing sound

Having major problems setting up two AE's (one old, one new) to work with Airtunes. System is as follows: new AE (n) connected to modem, transmitting wirelessly (no issues); old AE connected to new AE (as "join an existing network") and linked to stereo. I see the remote speakers listed in iTunes but when I select them and play music, nothing comes out of the stereo. Had a couple instances where there was sound for a second then it died. Green lights are on both AE's, internet is working just fine. I've read a lot of the forums already but none seem to get at this one issue (i.e., music is not just dropping out periodically.) I've tried everything out there that was suggested for somewhat similar issues, as well. No luck. Thoughts, anyone?

Did you try plugging in a pair of headphones into the problematic AirPort Express? If you hear sound, the problem is not with your iTunes or AirPort Express setup. More likely, you have defective audio cable from the Express to the stereo.

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

Using Toast 7 with my iTunes music

Hi,
I'm trying to use Toast 7 with my iTunes music to make MP3 CDs for the car. I like to do this as Toast lets me create folders for artists that iTunes does not. I'm not sure if the problem is the MBP (intel) or iTunes 7 or what, but Toast 7 is not seeing my library. It is seeing some old default library file that I'm not using and can't seem to find to toss. The Roxio folks are so incredibly helpful their response was, " This is an Apple problem". Not sure how they figure that one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Toast and this did nothing. I've tossed Toast's preferences. The software does see my iphoto library. Any suggestions would be welcome.

*I'm using Toast 7 to burn MP3 CDs as I can create folders that I can't do with iTunes.*
Using iTunes, if you sort by Album, iTunes will put songs into Album folders.
If you sort by Artist, iTunes will put them into Artist/Album folders.

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 :)

Can I wake up iTunes to play from a selected playlist on remote speakers (with a fade-in)?

Is there a way to get my MacBook or iPhone to use a selected playlist from itunes as a wake up alarm - ON REMOTE SPEAKERS? Loads of alarms start up with a selected playlist or song, but they play only on the computer or iPhone or plugged in speakers. I want to wake up to my remote speakers in the bedroom via the wireless AirPlay function. Any ideas would be welcome.

I have practically the same problem, but only with podcasts. From a smartlist having all my podcasts, autofill only puts two onto the shuffle. From a normal playlist, none. I can drag them all into the shuffle. I'm on an iBook with Panther, iTunes 6, September 2005 iPod updater.

Can't find remote speakers with itunes

This just happened randomly. I have Airport Express connected wirelessly to itunes, and then connected to my stereo. I have turned everything off (including AE, iBook, router - everything) and back on. itunes is still set to look for remote speakers, but it just does not see them. Yesterday it was working, today it is not.
PS I tried to download a new copy of itunes, but it will not install
Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you ever been able to see the remote speakers or is this a new problem?
I'm having problems with this as well, but I've been streaming audio to multiple speakers for several days. This morning I noticed that my remote speakers didn't showup in iTunes.
The work around for this appears to be to reset the airport (at least that's worked for me).
If you've seen your remote speakers before, then you might try resetting your airport by unplugging it and then plugging it back in or use the airport admin to update something that won't affect it's operation like the "location" notation.
Mac mini & Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) three airport express with iTunes

Lost contact with remote speakers after installing iTunes 10.6

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6, then noticed I now cannot access remote speakers connected to AirPort Express... directly from iTunes, from my iPhone, nor from my iPad. Please Help.

Hi Larry,
I had the same problem with iTune 10.6.5, and one cannot uninstall it. I was on the phone with Apple wireless support. The solution is to upgrae firmware on the Express, whihc cannot be doen with the latest airport utilities. HOwever, Apple re-posted Airport utility 5.6 for lion, which will then allow you to upgrade the firmware on older Aplle Express Units. This in turn will allow iTune 10.6 to communicate properly wit the Express. Doing so restored my connection to the speakesr without any further issues.
Give it a try...

Is it possible to use two speakers with one Apple Tv ?

Hello everyone,
I bought an Apple Tv and I have one apple express with a Bose speaker and a Bose Link Air speaker.
I would like to see a movie using the two speakers but every time that I try to select two speakers in the airplay Apple Tv menu, it automatically deselect the other speaker.
Is it possible to use two speakers in the same time ? ( I know it's possible with Itunes)
Thank,
Ps: I have the last Apple TV

No, that is not possible with Apple TV. You can set one 'output' via Apple TV, and 'stream' to multiple speakers from iTunes or via the remote app.

Remote speakers appear in iTunes but do not connect

I have had AirTunes running for over a year, requiring only the occasional reboot. We rely on it for music throughout the house. The setup:
wired LAN of multiple Windows XP Pro computers, Windows Firewall configured for iTunes and Bonjour and File Sharing ->
Linksys WRV54G router wirelessly connected to ->
AirPort Express (latest firmware update 6.3.0.1 didn't fix the problem) configured as a relay on the same wireless network.
The AE appropriately lights up steady green (or flashing amber when I reboot the router) and the remote speakers appear appropriately in the iTunes speaker menu (iTunes v 6.0.4.2). Obviously, the box to look for airtunes speakers is checked. Music plays out of my computer's speakers just fine.
THE PROBLEM IS that when I select the remote speakers I get the "Connecting to [remote speakers]" dialog, which ultimately times out in a failure, repeatedly. Ditto for checking the box next to the remote speakers when I select "multiple speakers."
I believe I checked internet access through a powerbook wired to the AE and that worked fine (powerbook ->wired to AE ->wireless to router ->to internet).
Anybody else with this problem recently? So many iTunes updates came out so quickly that I can't tell if this is the problem. Any ideas of what else to fiddle with?

Maybe there's a connection here ? ? Did you find out anything yet ?
I use a ZyXEL 600 series with wireless card @11Mbit as my ISP connection. Wired to my pc, and wireless to my wifes laptop. Seems to work fine to stream music on the PC to my Airport Express - didn't try the laptop yet.
BUT I have a very annoying problem. After exactly 80 minutes of streming, (timed it several times) the stream is cut off.
The connection to the AirPort Express is still intact at the IP-layer, as I can ping it and use the AirPort Admin Utility to reset it, and then bring the streem up again from iTunes.
Q: What is that all about ? is there a limitation built into iTunes ? (as I didn't exatly pay for it, but just downloaded a legal copy from Apple)
