Want to stream music help!

I have an iMac 17" 1ghz (older ima) with an airport card in it.
Right now I have the iMac streaming music to our stereo with in
Airport Express.
I am currently using my Sawtooth as a music machine, so right now to
get my iTunes to play to the stereo I have to
1) Start Sawtooth/itunes
2) Start iMac/iTunes
3) Select shared library on the iMac from the Sawtooth, then stream.
Can I just switch the airport card out?????? Or can I stream via the Netgear wireless router.
Both computers are connected to the router via ethernet
Thanks Laura

Can I just switch the airport card out?
No. The 1 GHz iMac G4 uses the AirPort Extreme card which is NOT compatible with the Sawtooth Power Mac G4.
Or can I stream via the Netgear wireless router.
No
But you could connect the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet to the Netgear and then stream directly from the Sawtooth to the AX.

  • HT1515 My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?

    Wirelessly
    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • Want to stream music to TV but would prefer blank screen

    I'm successfully streaming music to my TV using AirPlay and ATV2 but would prefer a blank screen, as opposed to the screen saver, etc. I don't see anything in the preferences that would achieve this. Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    The ATV appears to have no screen blank option - how about making a totally black jpeg file, making it a slide show, and selecting it as your screen saver?

  • HT4437 Using airplay, I want to stream music from my Mac to my ipad in a different room

    Like the question, I've connected my ipad to my Mac & my Apple TV but I would like to listen to music from my Mac in a different room and have the sound come from the iPad, I can control itunes and Apple TV from my ipad what is useful if I'm in the same room but what I really want is to know how to control the sound to come from the iPad, I can listen to stuff from cloud but the internet has a nasty habit of cutting out so airplay would be cooler.. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Ok, thanks for letting me know
    Though I find it a bit misleading to say you can stream what you want to any device around the house.. Why would I want to sit in another room playing music in another, I can't exactly carry my mac around the house.
    If you don't want to store loads of music or films on your phone or ipad that couldn't store all what I've got on my mac I'd say that would be the most useful feature, so you can play it on another device.
    I live and work in a bar and sometimes DJ or just like to just pump music round the bar without messing about taking stuff on and off my ipad.
    There just seems to be a lot of needless limitations, like you can't even get all the content you would watch ether... When you can get everything on a laptop and plug it into a TV and watch what you want and have a 500 to 1tb hard drive on it.
    I really like the idea's their coming up with but their not quite there yet.
    I often wonder why they just don't do a Full HD TV with a mac inside it and doubles up as a stereo and you can just stream everything from it.
    Maybe in the future.
    Cheers

  • Apple TV streaming music woes.

    Hi, I've got a new Apple TV and an intel iMac running 10.5.8.  When I'm streaming music to Apple TV I frequently have to first start playing music on the computer, then switch via airplay to the apple TV before it will start playing.  Trying to initiate music playing from my ipad is the same story - first have to start playing on the ipad, then switch airplay to apple TV.  If I used the ipad or iphone as remote to control the computer's music the results were initially fantastic, then unexplicably stopped working reliably at all.  Sometimes it works now if I turn on the TV, but really I mainly want to stream music to my surround sound reciever connected by optical cable. Any suggestions?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Can I stream music to apple tv and airport express at the same time?

    Does anyone know if I can stream music to both AppleTV and Airport Express (speakers) at the same time?
    I have a TV in my living room and external speakers on my deck and want to stream music to both at the same time so I have the same music playing in both rooms - but I can't get an answer on IF I can do both at the same time or it I'd have to select one over the other?
    Anyone know?

    yes - the built-in music app allows to select one speaker only at the same time.
    now i've found the WHAALE Multiroom Player App (http://www.whaale.com) - and it sends directly from the iOS Device to my 6 AirPlay speakers. One of them is an Apple TV...
    all "in sync" and without any special hardware and additional software.
    And i am able to stream different songs to different rooms...
    Just AirPlay speakers - wifi router - WHAALE -> that's easy :-)

  • Streaming music for multiple rooms of a house

    Hi all,
    I have an iBook G3. My question is, I want to stream music from my iBook to multiple rooms without having a lot of latency. The Airport Express (unless I'm wrong) can only stream one room at a time (I need more than one to be able to stream). I want to get the whole house wired for having Christmas music play throughout the house. If you have any products let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Joshua,

  • Will there be a possibility to stream music from iMac safari to airport express via airplay - from youtube for example?

    hi, i want to stream music from my imac to my airport express station via airplay. but not only with itunes, but also from safari (youtube) or other programs like games etc.
    is there - or will there be - a way?
    thx
    monimor

    Thank you for the answer, but airfoil is pay-software. on ipad and iphone there´s airplay for allmost every application - without extra payment.
    i wonder, why apple provides airplay only for mobile-devices.

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.
