With Apple TV can I listen music on my hifi if the TV is switched off?

one simple question : can I still listen to the music on my hifi if the TV is switched off?
I explain myself : If I just want to listen to some music on my stereo, do I have to switch ON the TV or it works even with no telly on? (I havent bought it yet...).
and also : is there any difference between Apple TV and AirPort Express, in terms of music quality, or its exactly the same thing?
thanks

You don't need the tv on to listen, navigation though would require either you turn the tv on or use an iphone/ipod touch to control it.
No difference in audio quality between the tv and the express, can't remember what max bit depths they use but the sample rate is limited to 44 KHz.

  • Need help! I can't listen music by my headset and the loudspeaker works well, what should i do ?

    Need help! I can't listen music by my headset and the loudspeaker works well, what should i do ?

    if you mean that you can't listen to music from the headset and from the phone speaker at the same time then that is by design works the same with all things really such as computer and the likes too
    if you mean that the device does not play out of a connected headset only out of the speaker then you have a hardware issue with the headset detector you can read more about it here even though most have the opposite issue but it's the same issue really

  • How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app  on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

    I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!!  However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
    1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
    2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv.  (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing.  I can't search/browse any other music)
    If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

    Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
    My problem involves:
    icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier.  Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing.  This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
    What does work is:
    iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off.  I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

  • I can't listen music with my 4S.

    The speakers are not working for some apps like itunes or youtube. Although the phone rings and some alert sounds are ok the speakers are not working 100%. I can't listen music even with the apple earpods. There may be something wrong with the software. I appriciate your help.

    Morning falp,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.

    I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
    Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
    As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

  • I have Sunglasses Bluetooth Headset and Apple Iphone 4, I Can Communicate Calls Using Headset. But I can't Listen Musics Using Headset.

    I have Sunglasses Bluetooth Headset and Apple Iphone 4, I Can Communicate Calls Using Headset. But I can't Listen Musics Using Headset.

    The iPhone supports the following Bluetooth profiles. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    In order to play music through the headset, it must support this particular profile, A2DP.  You can check the specs on the headset to see if it does support that. Not all headsets that support phone calls will support music.

  • If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i  airplay music in every room at the same time?

    If i have a home full of Apple TV's and Airport Express' can i  airplay music in every room at the same time?
    Or just one device(room) at a time?
    It seems there is a lot of home theater systems where they all hook up to one "control" and then disperse to the different locations per instructions..
    Is this possible with all apple products?

    From iTunes using Multiple Speakers (you can control with the Remote app on iPhone/iPad too), but not from AppleTV itself.

  • HT4061 My Ipad2 has a message Ipad disabled  connect to itunes.  The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with.  What can I do?  I cant even access the serial number to contact apple.  Help!

    Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
    To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer.

    Then report the lost to the local authority and your phone carrier.

  • Can i listen music while charging ?

    Hi,
    can i listen music on ipod while charging my 5gn. 30gb ipod.
    and everytime i connect ipod to computer for transfering songs or to use as hd. it starts charging even if not required.
    how can i stop this charging ? is it possible ?
    ny help is appreciated.
    thanks

    Yes. Connect the ipod to your computer, and once it's recognized by iTunes, safely disconnect it (eject the iPod as normal). Leave it connected via the cable and the iPod will receive a charge whilst you use it.
    The transfer of songs is a huge drain on the iPods battery, therefor it is essential to have power supplied to it or else the transfer may fail.
    So, even if you were able to stop the charge (and you can't), you wouldn't want to.

    Try deleing the download file and try again. It is located here:

  • With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

    Hi.
    With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
    Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
    thanks.

    I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
    I booted and went into iTunes.
    Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
    When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
    On the other computer, it listed STREAMING.  I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
    I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
    Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
    Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
    Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac.  I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
    My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device).  I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
    Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to.  Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
    Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
    Thoughts?
