Connecting an iPhone to MacBook Pro via TRRS cable?

Here is my idea. I know this doesnt exist yet but let know know what you think.
I have designed a TRRS cable (image attached) that my TRRS headphones can plug into, which is then plugged into the audio jack of my iphone and macbook pro.
My idea here is that I wish to listen to music (via headphones) while on my macbook, however, I constantly get calls. I dont want to remove my headphones or constantly need to unplug and replug in my headphone jack, so I figured the y-connector will solve this problem.
Does anyone see a problem with how this might make my phone and MBP interact?
Thanks

Actually I am looking for a similar thing but 2 female TRRS and 1 male TRRS and saw your post while searching. I want to connect both my headphones and speaker system to my mac and still able to use volume control/mic etc on my earphones. The second female doesn't have to be TRRS but it will be easier to produce one with two TRRS females.
About your idea, it's also nice. I didn't think about it before and I am just switching the earphones to my mac and iPhone. It would be nice to have such a thing. However I guess you will have some issues.
I don't think your MBP and iPhone would interact during the calls since mic only take inputs. So when you are on call, MBP will ignore it unless you have activated the mic on MBP. But if you are using the mic on MBP, for instance, you are on a video conference on your mac and meanwhile got a phone call on iPhone then both devices will get your voice. This might not be a problem since you just want to listen to music on your mac.
But the problem is, my guess, when you use volume control on your earphones both iPhone and mac will change the volume. You will probably have a big problem when using play/pause/skip function since the signal from the earphone will pass to both iPhone and MBP and both devices will play/pause/skip and their combinations.
My suggestion is to add a switch on the mic channel. Then you can chose to use the mic/volume/play functions only on either iPhone or MBP. That would solve the problem.

Time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router. If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline. Any suggestions?

At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that.

Disconnect or connect the bluetooth makes MacBook Pro restart.

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid 2010, running OS X 10.9.2.
Everytime (well, most of everytime) when the bluetooth disconnects from my wireless device,
Such as:
*Out of bluetooth distance
*Manually turn off bluetooth connection on macbook pro
*Switching off bluetooth on mouse (means connection dropped with the mac's bluetooth)
*Bluetooth device out of batteries (means connection dropped with the mac's bluetooth)
*Connecting bluetooth mouse to macbook pro
*Turning on bluetooth (and then when its auto trying to connect to bluetooth device)
From all the incident above, not all at a time, but time to time, performing one of the event above will cause my MacBook Pro to restart / force restart it self.
Sometimes it comes with an white error note screen after restart, asking press anybutton to continue. Anything related to bluetooth disconnecting and connecting makes mbp restart and it's really getting me annoyed and frustrating.
My macbook pro just out of the service center less than six month ago, replaced / fixed / tested all the parts for the best condition as it should, no problem at time. Just found or realise this bluetooth issue last two months. Been looking some websites seems like no issue arround similar to this, so here I am with this thread.
I wonder anyone else suffer from this, or some expert will have some magic advise to fix this issue? Software or hardware problem? I hope it is not hardware as I just literally have all brand new hardware since last service. The problem should not come this soon.

did you try to Browse Device on Mac Bluetooth at the top-right corner? I faced the same problem but it was worked after I made macbook find my phone bluetooth.

How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
Could anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks.

You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface. You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

Connecting iPhone 4S to Macbook Pro via Wifi

I used to be able to connect my iPhone to my macbook over wifi allowing me to sync with itunes and use the 'Remote' app to control itunes. Now my iphone does not appear in itunes over wifi.
I have tried creating a network on my mac which allows me to connect over wifi but then I cannot connect to the internet.
So the question is how can I set up my iPhone to connect to my mac over wifi?
Cheers

You can stop looking. That's not a Bluetooth profile that's available on iPhones.
Airdrop may do what you need.

WiFi connectivity between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Hello.
I was wondering if someone can lend a hand, here. I looked at some of the other posts on a similar problem, but figured I'd just confuse the issue. Here's my problem.
I'm using a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 8GB and 1067 MHz DDR3. Running 10.8.2 I'm using a recording suite known as Digital Performer 7.24. I have an iPhone 4 with an app called DP Control, that talks to the recording software on the MacBook -or it's supposed to. The app basically has some of the keys on the MacBook software side of things like rewind, fast forward, record, pause etc. It allows you to step away from the laptop, and enable the laptop software. For example: If you're sitting at a drumset for instance, you can enable recording by hitting keystrokes on the iphone app, rather than hitting record on your laptop, and running back to the drumset -you get it. Anway, the laptop and the iphone don't talk to each other. I'm thinking this has something to do with my MacBook and not the app. I have an iMac that can see the app no problem. It's with the MacBook that i have the issues with. I contacted the software developer, but they couldn't help me. I even contacted the developer of the app itself, and to no avail. I figure this is something on the Mac side of things that hopefully someone here can help me with.
The app connects to the computer via wifi and NOT Bluetooth. So bluetooth has been disabled. I have also deactivated the firewall per the app's instructions, and to no avail. I'm guessing it has to do something with security settings somewhere, or some sort of deep-rooted permission thing. I don't know.
The only thing I can think of is that at one point, i did delete a user and had to start over with the whole admin privileges thing. I don't know if this would be significant or not.
Thanks for reading!

Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!

How to reset the SMC on macbook pro 15" late 2009

Does anyone know how to reset the SMC on the macbook pro 15" late 2009?
The instructions listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 does not work.
There are alot of posts in here about it, but I cant find any solutions on who to do this on the late 2009 model that have the build-in battery.

Turn it off, connect the power supply then hold down shift/control/option while holding down the power button for 5 seconds - the power supply light will go off and on to show it's done.

How to reset the password in macbook Pro? This is not related to apple id

Hi,
I gave my macbook pro for service. Initially there was no password set up in the system. However the service guys have put some password to install the applications. (This is not related to apple id and apple store apps). Can you please help how to reset the password?
Regards,
Arjun K M

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As you have OS X Mountain Lion, try resetting the password from Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101
It looks like OS X was reinstalled. After resetting the password, you will be able to log in and use your MacBook Pro

How well would the new 13" Macbook Pro Retina handle HD video editing, in say Adobe Premier?

Hi there.
I'm buying a new Macbook Pro and would like to know how well the different specs would handle editing HD videos from a GoPro. I've mostly been filming in 720 because my current white macbook (2008) is dying, but wouldnt mind filming in 1080.
This is what im consudering
http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=ME865LL/A&step=config
2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Will it be powerful enough? Would it be very future proof?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Chris

I would agree that the $200 upgrade to the i7 would probably be the best choice if you want the 13" form factor. If you're able (and since these systems are so new, I've not seen many heads-up comparisons), I would ask to load Premier on both an i5 model and an i7 model and see which renders video more quickly. Usually, a lot of rendering depends on the GPU but, as I said, I don't know enough about the Iris built-in GPU to know if it's a lot faster than the old Intel 4000 or not.
If you can't get a hands-on Premiere comparison, surely you could ask for a FCP X demo on both machines!
Good luck with your choice,
Clinton

Bluetooth connection between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Is it possible to browse files on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro3,1 Serial Number W873325SX94, OS X 10.9 (13A603)) via Bluetooth?

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
