I should also mention that my wlan is based on a non apple router. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS Xby theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 4:33 AM Subject: Re: AirPort Streaming in iTunes [was Re: Navigating with VO+arrowkeysand alternatives [was Re:voiceoverquestion]]
Esther. One more issue with airport express. I go through the setup and when I get to the end and wait, I get an error message about not being able to find the wireless devic. At this point, the computer I am running will not connect to the network. I hav tried a lot of things to solve this but so far no joy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Esther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2008 11:22 PM Subject: AirPort Streaming in iTunes [was Re: Navigating with VO+arrow keysand alternatives [was Re:voiceoverquestion]] Hi David, The button for the remote speakers doesn't show up in iTunes if you are not within range of an AirPort Express that you can stream to. >Does the button for the remote speakers appear if you don't have airport >express? I can't find it and I'm trying to setup my airport express. > >Thanks! > When you setup your AirPort Express, one of the things you do is give it a Base Station name like "Study". This allows you to check the IP Address, form of wireless security used, firmware version, and wireless channel for that unit through the AirPort Admin Utility. Once you've set up your AirPort Express, whether or not you have speakers connected to it, when you start iTunes there will be a button that allows you to stream your music away from your speakers to any available AirPort Express location. The easiest way to navigate to this button is to use VO-keys left arrow from the "Previous" button you'll be on when you open iTunes. VO left past the eject button, the browse button, and possibly the burn or import CD button (depending on whether you have a playlist selected in your source list, or whether you have a CD in your drive). There should be a button where you can reset your output from your computer speakers to any of the available AirPort Express base stations by name (e.g., "Study", "Living Room", "David's Den" or any other such location). HTH. Cheers, Esther P.S. I just noticed that I reversed the keyboard shortcuts for the previous and next buttons in my post on iTunes -- a moment of dyslexia because I actually press the left arrow (with Command-left arrow) to get the previous song in a song list when songs are playing. I don't type "left arrow" or "right arrow" <smile>. So, for the "previous" button, read Command-left arrow as the shortcut, and for the "next" button, read Command-right arrow (or switch "left" and "right" in my description of shortcuts in the previous post). >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Esther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by >theblind" <[email protected]> >Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2008 7:54 PM >Subject: Navigating with VO+arrow keys and alternatives [Re: >voiceoverquestion] > > <snip from examples of navigation in iTunes> >About the only button I think I have to >get to via VO and the arrow keys on the iTunes player is the one for >streaming your music to another location if you have an AirPort Express >wireless base station with speakers connected in.
