Hardware :: Connecting IMac Wirelessly To Play Music?
May 6, 2010
I have recently bought an iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo) and would like to connect it to my stereo (Sony digital audio/video control centre STR-K785 which is set up around my TV) in the same room.
I am wondering whether I should just use cables (would be awkward and messy) or whether I can use any of these devices which I have and whether they would be any good?
Time Capsule (with an Airport Express?) PS3
Beyonwiz (high def PVR which seems to have networking capabilities)

I'm purchasing a new iMac intel core2 duo and want to connect it and my G4 500MHz Power Mac tower and 550Mhz PowerBook wirelessly to the internet. I have Cable modem at the front of my house and will put the iMac in a different room about 10m away. I have my G4 tower separate from the house about 40m away and my PowerBook won't be more than 10m from the modem. I am purchasing a 500GB Time Capsule to act as a wireless router and as an external hard drive for the iMac. How do I, or can I, connect the other two macs to the internet wirelessly?
The advice 1: iMac is fine.
G4 Tower_install an airport express card (802.11n) and insert where the old card should go. It should connect to internet wirelessly.
PowerBook_same thing(?)
The advice 2:
G4 Tower_install a Shintaro USB2.0 5-Port PCI Card and Addlogix USB 2.0 54MBps Wireless Adaptor
PowerBook_can't do anything for it.

I try to upload music from commercially produced cds but my iMac (intel) running Yosemite has stopped working.Â
It uploaded several discs then had trouble uploading one. When I put the next cd in to upload it made a few strange whirling sounds then ejected the disc. It didn't get mounted the the desktop either.Â
I tried it first thing in the morning when the machine was freshly started and not hot but nothings working.Â
Info:
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I recently changed providers and started DSL. I have a modem with built-in wireless capabilities. Set it up for my desktop (wired) and all worked well. My son has an iBook G4 running 10.4.11 - same as my desktop. It has an Airport card in it so we figured he should be able to connect to the modem wirelessly. Set it up and it worked well for one day. Following day it would not connect.
I set up the wireless connection with WPA-PSK selected and channel 9 selected. Made sure the iBook was set the same. When prompted for the password we get an error message stating there is an "error" connecting to the modem. Using the set up assistant for the Airport card yielded no change.
Today we turned off the WPA-PSK and he can connect with no problem. I'm not entirely comfortable with WPA shut off. I read something that implied the password needs to be a certain length to work for some settings - notably WEP. I used an 8 character password for the PSK.

What do I need to connect my desktop computer wirelessly over the internet? I got a router and several laptops, but recently I made a purchase on a desktop PC, and I want to connect it wirelessly instead of through the Ethernet.

I saw some threads about doing it wirelessly but right now I'm up at college and that is not a viable option for me. What I want to know is if I can connect to my home cpu or use the internet of my home computer. Thanks guys. Let me know if you need any specs from my laptop, my os is the latest version of leopard, not snow leopard tho.

I have a HP Pavillion desktop where I download most of my music. I also have a MacbooK Pro Unibody (bought it in February 2010). I use my iPods and iPad with my Macbook Pro so I always use a USB thumbdrive to transfer my music from my PC to my MBP. I've heard of something called a DropBox that people use to transfer files from their iPad to their MBP. Can I do something like that to transfer my music and pictures from my PC to my MBP without having to use a thumbdrive?

I have an Airport Extreme with a USB hub plugged into it and two hard drives plugged into that. I was wondering if there would be a way to add a pair of USB speakers to it and play music through them wirelessly (like AirTunes).

I am looking to buy the less expensive aluminum macbook, this will be my first mac so I have some questions:
1. I will be buying Microsoft Office for mac. Will this be exactly the same as the windows version, just for mac?
2. I will need to print things, and I already have a printer for my desktop PC. Can my macbook wirelessly connect to that (if there is a way with a wire, how would you do it)
3. If I want to play Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on it, will it work, or will I have to get some kind of mac version of the game?

I have set my website up in iWeb (so simple and great) and I have added to the homepage a QT music file for visitors to listen to. Unfortunately however when you do click on the song and then navigate to one of my other pages on the website such as my portfolio, the music stops. I was hoping that the song would play continuously while navigating through the website no matter what page the visitor was on. Is this even possible?

I have ALOT of music on my macbook pro. so much i don't have much hard drive space left and its really slowing down my laptop. i have all the music on an external hard drive. is it possible to play the music directly off the hard drive rather than having to import ALL the songs to my laptop? itunes just imports all the songs automatically and i don't want it to. i would rather just play the music off the hard drive and save space on my laptop

...now I don't have the same functionality with iTunes. Basically, I can't use iTunes at all anymore as the interface for my music and videos. Once the external drive is mounted, I can navigate through it and play individual songs, but I can't use iTunes to do that. All my previous Playlists show up down the left side of iTunes, but there isn't any music in them.
I downloaded 2 songs yesterday, made a Playlist out of them, and because the path in the Advanced tab of the iTunes Preferences is correct, it automatically added the songs to the external hard drive. I synced my iPod and it was completely erased except for the 2 new songs. Is there a way to use iTunes to navigate my music like I used to when I stored the information on the internal hard drive but keep the information on the external drive? I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes.

I've been told it's possible to sync. an application on my iMac to my iPad.  I use the calendar specifically for the event reminders that I set up on the desktop Mac when I'm at home, but it would be good if I could access this information on my iPad when I'm away from home.Â

I updated my iTunes Library to iTunes Plus just now, but my Mac wasn't connected to my drive with my music on, so it downloaded it locally to another iTunes folder. When I copied the local folder across to my external drive to consolidate it, it's wound up overwriting the entire music folder with just the tracks it downloaded just now. Have I basically deleted all my music? The drive isn't covered by my Time Machine, which only backs up my Mac (due to space limitations).

Since updating my iMac to Yosemite I can no longer connect wirelessly to my Canon Pixma 5250 printer. Support Code: 300 pops up on the screen asking me to make sure the printer is properly plugged in. The software for the printer was updated automatically 2 days ago.

Yesterday I purchased my first ever iMac (OS X 10.9.4 - Mavericks I believe).Â
I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart C7280 printer to work wirelessly but can't seem to work out how to do it.Â
When I connect via a USB the printer is recognised in Printers & Scanners, when I remove the USB the printer disappears.Â
My Mac and printer are both connected to the same wireless network (which we get through Virgin Media) - although my printer displays "no link" for IP address, don't know if this is relevant.Â
I have tried resetting print system, I have downloaded all Apple system updates, I have downloaded the latest driver I could find from the HP site (although this might have been unnecessary).Â
One factor that may be significant is that when I view the printer details (when connected via USB) I see the Mac's name, the printer model and the status but I don't see any reference to a Driver, which from what I've read, I feel I should be seeing.
I've also read reference to clicking "use" in a drop-down menu but from the details I see in the printer pane/dialogue box? I cannot see "use" anywhere or any other drop-down menus.Â
by the way, the printer always worked perfectly well wirelessly when connected to a Windows laptop on the same network,Â
