Audio Macbook and Macbook Pro ???
I am torn between the MB and the Pro 15". I want to use these machines to do presentations using tV's most of them will not be HD. Can I hook up (with adapters) to standard RCA connectors with either of them?
Also I am hearing that the MB sound volume is not that great but it offers analog and Digital in and out connectivity which the MBP does not.
Can I connect via rca connectors the laptop (s) and get sound through the tv speakers?
Thanks in advance.
you can have the mini dv to video adapter this could be the one, but please double check before you buy it.

The Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo) and 12-inch PowerBook G4. The adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port on the new 12-inch PowerBook G4 and provides both S-video and Composite video connectors. It allows many devices such as TVs, VCRs, or overhead projectors with S-Video or RCA (Composite) connectors to be connected to your iMac (Intel Core Duo) or 12-inch PowerBook G4.
Use a separate Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter for VGA video out support (included with all new 12-inch PowerBook G4 systems or available for order as a standalone kit).
And you can use the mini jack cable with split red and white rca on the other end to connect the audio out from MAcBook to your TV or stereo set. as it said on MacBook spec:
Built-in stereo speakers, built-in omnidirectional microphone, combined optical digital audio input/audio line in, combined optical digital audio output/headphone out.
Hope this help.

For Video/Audio: Macbook Pro (2009-17" 2.66Ghz i7) vs. Macbook Pro (Current 2011-15" 2.4Ghz i7))
So I currently have a MacbookPro 6,1 - I believe a late 2009 model, 17" 2.66Ghz i7 Dual-Core Processor, 8gb Ram (updated), NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. I started doing video and even noticed this when I normally do my audio work - that my video doesn't look like it should (noticed when a client looked at my computer screen and noticed that colors, brightness was off and extra grainy as compared to other computers he has seen his work on. I also noticed I sometimes get a lag when playing video causing me to have sync issues (off by a couple frames or so -- which completely ***** when I'm trying to do my job right).
So I found a sweet deal on the newer Macbook Pros. Seller told me it retails for around $2400 so I'm assuming it's the Quad-Core 2.4Ghz 15" with some minor upgrades. Let's just say it's this particular model - am I better off selling my older model for this one? I would just hate to part with my 17" although it would help take off some travel weight.
I'm not good with specs which is why I'm here, but apple store says it has:
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB GDDR5
And I think that might help solve my problems, on top of the Quad-Core addition which I believe my current macbook6,1 doesn't have right?

Thanks. At this point, portability isn't that important which is why I'm thinking of the upgrade. How do you figure that the iMac is better. The specs on my MBP are still superior with the i7 at 2.5GHz vs the iMacs i5 at 3.5GHz.... hm.. isn't the i7 faster than the i5?
Not in this case. The iMac has a "Haswell' CPU whereas the MBP has a 'Sandy Bridge' CPU, two different generations of processors. To graphically illustrate the performance differences between the two options look at the respective machines in this link:
https://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
Note that the iMac registers a score of 3893 vs the MBP score of 2700. In real world terms, differences of a couple of hundred points often is inconsequential, but here we are dealing with a very significant difference of over a thousand points.
If portability is not a requirement and the bank account is fat, the iMac is by far the better choice. A larger and better display combined with much superior CPU and GPU.

Can anyone help!! with Edirol FA 66 Audio interface and Logic Pro 7
Hi I really need help!!
I have Logic Pro 7 and just have brough tnew Audio interface. I have connected it up via Firewire and my Mac has recognised drivers for interface.
I am plugging midi keyboard up to interface using two midi cables but cant get input signal through logic
PLease help someone!!I have connected my Keyboard to my Edirol FA 66 Audio Interface
via midi cables
Ok, so you should be able to use the Casio to play Logic's instruments.
I would like keyboard to play into Logic and then be heard as an
output through my external speakers.
Well that's your problem, you've only connected it via MIDI cables - MIDI IS NOT AUDIO.
MIDI does not carry any audio signals at all, you cannot record audio via MIDI cables. You need to connect the stereo outputs of your keyboard into the audio inputs of your audio interface in order to record the Casio as audio, and/or to pipe it's audio through Logic. -
M-audio 410 and Soundtrack Pro won't "PLAY NICE" together!!
I can't get any output to my Firewire 410 from Soundtrack Pro. The input works but no output. I tried every setting with not one db of output. The most recent was not looping through another firewire device, but to go straight into my G5.
Does anyone have this device working on your mac?
Please help if you can,
JCB123I have the same setup and haven't had any problems. I am connected by firewire. In STP, my input device and my monitor are set to Firewire 410. In System Prefernces / Sound, I have both my input and output set to Firewire 410 as well. And in the M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface software under the Mixer Tab, I have spdif highlighted under Analog In. Then under the Output Tab I have Main highlighted under SPDIF OUT.
I run an optical cable from the 410 to a hometheatre system right now but have a proper set of audio monitors on the way. I intend to plug them into outputs 1&2 in which case I will also highlight 1/2 under ANALOG IN under the MIXER tab and highlight MAIN under 1/2 OUT under the OUTPUT tab.
Hope this helps a bit. I am still new to this but so far have been able to get this far. Good luck! -
No audio (and "no audio device") in WIndows XP on my MacBook Pro 17"
Greetings,
I just installed Windows XP SP2 on my new MacBook Pro 17" and everything is working smoothly EXCEPT that there's no sound in Windows from the built-in speakers, and in fact the Control Panel reads "No audio device." I have already successfully installed the Boot Camp drivers from my Leopard DVD. I also tried to run the Boot Camp 2.1 update (downloaded directly from the Apple site) but the installer cannot be run and gives error 2762, whatever that is. Finally, I've seen on some forum posts that certain Realtek drivers may fix similar problems on other machine, so I downloaded and installed Realtek R2.27 high definition audio driver but that doesn't seem to have done the trick for me.
I'm guessing this problem could be fixed easily by the correct audio driver but I can't figure out what that is or how to find it. Please help, any advice would be appreciated!

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Hello--
I'm trying to figure out how to connect my 15" MacPro Book from early 2008 to a Sony flat screen TV monitor. I've been told I need a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" and a "HDMI to HDMI" cable, but I've also been reading that some cables only work with 2010 & 2011 laptops and that I may need additional cable/hardware to obtain audio. Could someone advise me on exactly what products I need to purchase?
Thank you!Which MacBook Pro 15" do you have?
With the silver keyboard (Early 2008)) or that one with a black keyboard (Late 2008)?
If you habe the Late 2008 you can use a miniDisplay Port + Audio to HDMI like that one (stereo sound) or that one (5.1).
If you have the Early 2008, it's not so easy, because you need a DVI + Audio to HDMI like that one (the Audio Channels had to be converted to Coaxial!) So much more adapters! Maybe there is a manufaturer which has the all in one solution)
Both MacBook Pro DOESN'T support audio on the video output! The later ones (Mid 2010 and later) supports Audio output within the miniDisplay Port. -
I have Macbook pro A1286 and was wondering how to connect it to the tv and have audio?
Like the title says, I have a 15 inch macbook pro A1286 (from mid 2009) and want to hook it up to a tv. I also know that my particular model of macbook pro doesn't support audio from the mini display. I know that I will need a mini display to hdmi cable or converter and a hdmi cable if I decide to go for the converter for the video. I've seen both the cord (1 side is hdmi and the other is mini display just to clarify if I'm not using the right terminology) and converter online and any comments on which is better/preferred would be helpful. What kind of cable do I need to get sound to play through the tv? If you could suggest brands (unless all of them are about the same), I would be very grateful. It would be nice to know if the cords have to be specifically from apple just so I don't buy the wrong thing. If there's an easier way (less cords) to do this than hdmi feel free to say something Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it and am eternally grateful.

thank you so much, -
I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and i know the Mini-display port does not support audio out but does it support HDMI out? or do i have to buy a Mini-display to DVI and then a DVI to HDMI adapters?
Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in. That's about all you can do.

I was wondering this, because I want to hook up my 2011 MacBook Pro to a external monitor (TV) using an hdmi cable. This would be heplful before I buy a mini displayport to hdmi adapter, and then maybe find out that the mini displayport might not transfer audio, only video.
Yes, min Displayport supports audio and video for the 2011 MBP 13" via HDMI.

I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?
DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.
DanSo I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -
My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?
There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above. -
I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac.
Rogue Amoeba | Airfoil for Mac: Wireless Audio Around Your House -
I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express. I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11. The OS software on both machines is totally up to date. AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2 and on 6.0 on the MBP. I bought a used AirPort card for the G4, I believe it is 802.11b compatible, and the wireless data rate is specified at 11 Mbps. Being a newbie to wireless, it took me many days to get these two machines to link up. This network is not connected to the internet, and there no other networks in the vicinity.
My last problem to solve is the very slow file transfer speeds between the two machines. The transfer time seems to vary depending on which machine I use to initiate the transfer, and which direction the transfer is going. For example: If I initiate the transfer from the G4 and send a 5.4MB file to the MBP it takes 1:32 (min:sec), while the same file going from the MBP to the G4 takes 27 seconds. On the other hand if the transfer is initiated on the MBP, going from the MBP to the G4 takes 2:56, while going from the G4 to the MBP takes 1:59. I realize that these times are not actual wireless transfer times but includes the entire transfer process.
Both machines and the AirPort Express are within a 4-foot radius. Both machines are set to radio channel 2. The AirPort Express is set for 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible) with WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security.
Any help would be appreciated.
CEU2BDAqua,
Thanks for the response.
Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine. System Profiler has the following information:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
Serial Number: XBxxxxxMK9
Sales Order Number:
Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.
