Buying Speakers for Macbook Pro- What will work?

Hey everyone. I'm planning to buy some speakers for my MBP and I was wondering what would actually work with it. I found these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SQ0A4/ref=ordcartshr/102-9468188-4168941?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance&n=172282
which seem to be a very good price for a pretty good item, and I was wondering if they would work. Is there a converter I would need to buy? If they don't work, then where could I find some speakers that do work?

Computer speakers usually plug into the headphone line out jack. So, yes, if this is how these speakers connect they will work. Some speakers need component audio (the red and white RCA type plugs), if this is required you can buy a converter at Radio Shack for ~$5.

  • Buying GTA off appstore for Macbook Pro 15, will it give me a virus?

    Hey Guys i want to download/buy GTA off the app store for my Macbook pro 15 with retina display.
    Just wondering if i will get a virus or will my computer slow down? I also will want to purchase COD
    for Macbook pro 15 as well. I don't want any viruses on my computer. Also when i play internet games
    the bottom of the laptop tends to heat up a lot. Is that normal as i only recently bought it for $3,200.
    Please help me out here
    Thanks guys

    What is GTA? What is COD?
    Forget about a virus. There are no documented viruses that affect a Mac running OS X.

  • Is time capsule the only wireless backup for a macbook pro that will work with Time Machine?

    I just got a macbook pro (mid 2012) and I was going to back it up, but the time capsule is very expensive so I was wondering if any other backups worked wirelessly with time me

    Any external hard drive can be used for a Time Machine backup, but for network backup I doubt you will find much if anything at a lesser price than a Time Capsule. Plus, the Time Capsule is also a network router.

  • Buying applecare for Macbook Pro 15

    It's time for me to take care of my Macbook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013) and buy an apple care plan.
    MY question is will the MC259ZM/A product number of Applecare work for my notebook?
    A friend of mine has it and is willing to give it to me for free :-). Found it in his old Macbook Pro BOX never used it so its mine.

    adtshd,
    if your friend’s MC259ZM/A AppleCare Protection Plan hasn’t been registered to any MacBook Pro, then it could be registered to yours. (Just because he hasn’t ever opened its box doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s never been registered.)

  • Buying a new MacBook pro - what specs should I get

    Hi, I'm about to buy a new 17-inch MacBook Pro. I will use it for making videos and DVDs. I use Photoshop, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Compressor and DVD Studio Pro, often simultaneously. I am wondering which specs to choose for the computer...
    2.8ghz or 3.06ghz processor? Does it make rendering much faster?
    4GB or 8GB memory? Will 8GB increase speed significantly?
    500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm or 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm. Again, will it make much difference?
    Thanks!

    2.8ghz or 3.06ghz processor? Does it make rendering much faster?
    The largest difference it will ever make in any process is less than 10% (the 0.26MHz difference divided by 2.8MHz.) This would not be the best use of your money if you're after greater speed and your budget is too tight to buy all three upgrades you mention.
    4GB or 8GB memory? Will 8GB increase speed significantly?
    If you are consistently using more than 4GB of RAM in your work now, then 8GB will benefit you significantly in a new MBP.
    500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm or 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm.
    A 7200RPM drive will make a considerable difference.

  • Looking for ext speakers for MacBook Pro

    My built-in speakers go off a lot so looking for some speakers under $100 street price (could be used) to go with my MacBook Pro.  I listen to wide variety of music but the only ones I've tried so far, Logitech Z320's had no treble or upper midrange and I was very disappointed with their performance.  Don't need to sound like $200+ speakers, just something that can take the place of the ones in the MacBook so I am not tied to my headphones all the time.

    Well… on the Windows front the MBP will run as well as any other PC laptop with a similar spec so on that you should have no problems. However, there are a couple of little quirks to running Windows on a Mac (mainly keyboard and mouse) but these are very minor.
    As for the game, compare to other PC hardware with a similar spec. That should give you an idea of the system requires for any game you're interested in.
    is it the answer, I think it's as good as, if not better, than any other option tyou have given there are few other that will run Max OS X.

  • Speakers in MacBook Pro do not work.

    This morning, the speakers on my MacBook Pro (Early '09) stopped working, but the machine transmits through the headphone jack just fine. I've done a PRAM reset, and that hasn't fixed it. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello,
    I am having the same issue...internal speakers are not working on my MacBook Pro (purchased Aug 09). I tried a PRAM restart and I've tried putting the headphone jack in and out several times, as well as wiggling around a toothpick in the port. None of that seems to have worked. There was a red light emitted from the port a little while ago but now it's gone.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    It appears to depend upon the version you will be using:

    Based on what I can tell, you may have to go to the second hand market in order to get a MBP that will run a compatible OSX.

  • HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)?  I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer.  I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong).  This has been going on for almost a week now.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.
