Can I direct all sound from MacBook Pro to Airport, not just iTunes

Hi, want to be able to choose AirPort for all audio out from my MacBook Pro, not just iTunes. Is that possible? For example I would like to stream YouTube music via AirPort...
Any help is most appreciated.

Hi!
Thx for answer. However, I can not choose AirPort the way you described, only "internal speakers or Thunderbolt/external monitor speakers". Seems like it's only in iTunes one can choose AirPort output. I would like to play all aduio out via AirPort.

  • I have lost all sound on macbook pro 10.6 and in ITunes can no longer play any cinema or tv shows purchased.  I believe it may have been caused by recent use of mini-display port   Toslink Audio to the TV.  What can be done?

    I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
    Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
    of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
    I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
    using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
    I use this device occasionally and haven't had any  problems til now.
    Any suggestions to right the problem?.

    In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
    You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
    Good luck,

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

  • I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?

    I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
    Is there anyone to help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
    Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin).

  • Can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme

    I can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme. I reset AE and modem (power down and back up again). Some computers on my home network will connect fine and others won't. The ones that won't don't populate the DNS server or the Search Domains. AE shows up on all the machines. I have one computer also connect to AE via ethernet and it has the same symptoms. Why do some Macs connect and others don't. Even when I get them to connect when I shutdown or put in sleep mode over night I lose the internet connection and have to start all over. Very frustrating.

    Regrettably no replies. I have struggled with this for days with no success and I have given up on the Airport Extreme. I have found several other Forum posts with very similar problems and no one seems to have a solution to this. It seems other wireless routers work better than the Apple product. I was able to get my old Linksys wireless router reset and it is set up and working well. The Linksys router does populate the DNS servers and domains where as the AE does not. Apple engineers should look into this. If I am mistaken and there is a fix for this someone please let me know, otherwise my AE will probably appear on Ebay very soon.

  • Random tick sound from MacBook Pro (noticed it since updating to 10.6)

    Hi,
    I have the 2.4Ghz Unibody MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2009) with the removable battery.
    I went through a clean install of Snow Leopard, up to date with all the updates (10.6.1). Ever since I have been hearing random ticks. At first I thought it was the hard drive. But it's too loud for the hard drive, and it sounds like its coming from the right speaker.
    A break down of the possibilities:
    - Hard Drive
    - Left Speaker
    - Bug in Snow Leopard
    - Fan
    What do you guys think? Anyone else experiencing this?

    If you had a cloned copy of your Leopard (not Snow Leopard) disk (everyone should have a backup of their disk on an external drive) you could boot from it. This would rule in or out the OS as the culprit.
    If you do ot have said copy (for shame, for shame) maybe you can boot with the install DVD and determine the same thing.
    I have the mid '09 15". I can remove the belly pan and see the entire fan. Can you do this with your model to determine if the fan is making the noise? Can you install some fan control software that will allow you to speed the fan up and thus determine if the fan is the noisemaker?
    Will turning the speaker audio OFF have any affect on the noise? Will putting a piece of cardboard over the speaker grill affect the noise?

  • How I can back up my data from macbook pro that its hard drive seems to die soon?

         I need your help guys from the whole world.
    I am now in Erbil (North Iraq) and there is no apple authorized resellers or anyone who can fix macs, they can destroy them as they try to repair it ( this is what happened      to me recently with My I phone and I pad). So I am left alone to fix it with your global help I hope.
    The issue is, I didn't do back up on my mac book pro for over  a year. I woke up 3 days ago, switched my mac and there was this funny pinc ponc noise coming from the lower right hand side of my mac (between track pad and keyboard), the computer was going slow and I wasnt able to do anything even after few restarts. It is always too slow to perform anything and this noise always start after few seconds of starting and keep going. the computer can still function very well on guest account *(safari only) and I don't hear the noise then nor when I press T. But if I try to log in to all my drive or in safe mode I get this noise and none function computer. when I went to disk utility there was message in red to back up my data immediately and take the hard drive to authorized service center.
    I checked on internet, you tube  and others..and it seems I have faulty hard drive. Since I am here alone and no service center so I think I will replace it myself. But first thing first i need to back up my precious data. I found few ways of doing this and I wonder if you can give me some tips, advise or any other method to do the back up.
    1) Transfer data on target mode:  I havent done this before but I am thinking to connect my faulty macbook pro to another with firewire, pressing T on the faulty Mac and install Super Duper on the other mac. Then I connect external hard drive to the working mac via USB. And the question is     :      can I transfer the files this way to an external bootable hard drive connected to the working mac     , so the working mac will function as bridge between faulty mac and external hard drive. Also can I do this process through my old none intel based power book(which I am using now)  instead of borrowing macbook from friend?
    2) Buy new hard drive, open my mac and replace the faulty one. then put the faulty one in external inclosure, connect to refurbished mac and transfer data back. Can I do this? will I need to install the mac os from the CD associated with it before I do transfer?
    Is there any other way to do this please?

    Hi PlotinusVeritas
    where do I download the superdoper please?
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/superduperdescription.html
    its here:   
    Download the free trial now!
    This simple software is free and very easy to use, yes, it makes a 100% clone of ALL on your HD, everything.
    (assuming its not so dead it wont copy).
    you only need the free trial version to clone your HD.
    can I download it on guest account? this one I can login and seems to function fine.
    Then install same on your guest account, that wouldnt matter, since Superduper clones everything (except the recovery partition which you dont need in your case right now).
    LaCie is Seagate (lacie doesnt make HD) , yes, that would be fine,  clone your HD ASAP and hope it works.
    there is no software fix for HD hardware failure, ......this is why a backup copy of data is so very important all the time, period.

  • Weird sound from MacBook Pro 2011

    I have a weird sound that occasionally occurs from my Late 2011 13" MacBook Pro. The sound comes from the left side of the base, towards the hinge. The timing is random, usually when sitting by itself idle with the lid open. It has occured when the charging cable is both connected and disconnected. Performing a restart does not cause it to stop, it will continue thru the restart. Shutting down completely does shut it up, but it'll likely appear shortly after booting up. Closing the lid of the MBP will shut up the sound, and if left closed for a couple hours, the sound doesn't appear for awhile.
    The sound itself is pretty loud, and can easily drown out my TV when it kicks in. I don't think it's the fan, as I've heard the fan on full tilt and it's still quiet, unlike this noise I am referring to. Plus, the fan is located in the center against the hinge, not on the left where the noise is coming from. I tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM, no luck. I did record the sound with my cell phone, here is a video of it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgutF9bZilI
    If anyone has an idea of what is causing this sound, please help. Thank you.

    Does the sound, or it's basis, interfere with operation of the MBP in any way?  When the lid is closed it is in sleep mode so one would expect the sound to stop then.
    Best thing might be a visit to the Apple store genius bar to have the techs test it.

  • Odd alert sound from Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi, my 13-in MacBook Pro Retina is late 2013 version installed with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
    Recently, every now and then there will be a "ding" tone that sounds.
    I have checked. I do not have any alerts on nor is it the incoming email alert.
    I also could not find this sound under the sound alerts menu.
    Anyone can be of help?

    sorry to hear about your problems. Try running Audio MIDI, see what's it's set it for both the line out/digital out. Holding down the Alt Key (next to the space bar) gets you a list of all the input and output devices on your macbook pro. Also, see if accessibility is turned on under system preferences.  Other than that, I can't say. if you have wifi problems, see if there's an update for it (airport?) or see if you can change  Wi-ifi channels on your printer
    well, I tried anyways

  • Stream sound from Macbook Pro to another device?

    So my headphone jack just half-died on me. I get full sound from the right ear, but the left one has little to no sound coming through. I've had headphone jack issues in the past with my macbook pro and they said I needed to replace the entire motherboard last time which was extremely expensive. My warranty has run out so doing that again would not be feasible, yet I really need the headphone jack to be working since much of my work is video/audio intensive. Is there any way I could stream audio to another device like my phone or something via bluetooth and plug headphones into that to get full sound in both ears? Or is there a fix to this issue that I don't know about? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Macbook Pro 13-inch (early 2010)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    10 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    You can stream audio via airtunes to an Airport express which has an analogue ouput jack, but it's line level and doesn't have a volume control, but you can use it as the source for a hifi.  You can get third party powered speakers which receive airtunes.  You can stream audio and video to an Apple TV but it only has an optical Tosslink audio out and audio and video out via hdmi.
    You can also get sound out via USB to a an offboard D/A converter which in most cases would be line-level, though you could likely find asomething with a headphone output with a volume control.
    If you look up the specs on your machine you might also find you have digital audio out via tosslink and the headphone jack which is misbehaving as the ports are combined on some models.  Then there is the mini display port which can in some cases output both sound and audio and you can get a long display port to hdmi cable a lot cheaper than an ATV.
    But, while the headphone jack replacement involves a motherboard swap, in reality, what might have happened is that a solder joint for the socket on the motherbord has failed and simply resoldering the joint would fix the issue.  If the internals of the socket like a contact breaking or being damaged is the problem then the MB would likely need replacing given the cost of labour for a tech to source and replace the whole socket.

  • How to output sound from MacBook Pro to stereo receiver/amplifier?

    Does anyone here know what I would need to buy to send audio from my MacBook Pro to an external integrated stereo amplifier? I'm sure there's something. I'd like best quality so if you know of a USB solution please let me know.

    Typo above, 'headphone port' not 'headphone post.'
    Glad to help, and thanks for the !
    FYI, the mic port is the same, so if you have a need to get digital audio into your MBP, the mic port will do that as well as analog.
    The headphone port actually does triple-duty, in that it's both analog and digital out, and with the longer plug found on the iPhone headset, the headphone port can also function as an analog input.

    No, you use the version of OS X it came with (10.7.3 I'm assuming).

    Read this: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/09/24/mac-101-preparing-your-old-mac-for-sale-or-recycl ing/.  Also, per the Apple software agreement, you can only sell/give a mac with the original version of OS X it originally came with.  If you upgraded, those versions of OS X had a license that was purchased by you and is not transferable

  • No sound from MacBook Pro under Lion OS X after the automatic logout.

    When I go idle, my MacBook Pro does the typical log out....& prompts me for my password to get back in. I have sound previous to this, but, when I log back in, all the sound is gone. This frequently started happening with Internet videos (youtube) / flash getting no sound, but now it's the entire system. In order to get sound, I have to shut down my entire notebook and start back up.
    When I click the sound effects in the System Preferences > Sound .... They do work.
    Any solution to this sound issue?
    If you need more information please ask.

    Hi. Same here. I haven't try the PRAM reset, but rebooting the system works, with the obvius corresponding time consumption .
    The system has two user accounts that are running simultaneously, my wife’s with Chrome, VLC, and other image and video tools (no professional ones). On my profile I have chrome, vlc, jdownloader, mail, mkvtools and stuff like that.
    I first thought that one app was blocking the access to the sound card to the other apps, but if I turn off all of them and log out one user, the problem persists. So I end up rebooting the system…
    Any help will be appreciated

  • No sound from Macbook Pro after restart or sleep

    I know there are a lot of threads on this type of issue, but I haven't found a way to solve my problem.
    My computer:
    Late 2008 MBP 15" OSX 10.9.5
    Whenever I shutdown or sleep the computer, the sound does not work when I start it up or wake it up. The startup sound does not play, and the audio controls are not greyed out. Audio does not work through headphones either. Plugging in and unplugging headphones does not solve the problem.
    Sometimes a PRAM reset will solve the problem, and an SMC reset always brings the audio back, but only until I shut it down or put it to sleep again.
    Any help in finding a permanent solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hello CoDean,
    Continue your troubleshooting with the article below to assist with the issue of not sound on your MacBook Pro. Look at the headphone jack to see if there is a red light coming from there as well as looking in System Preferences > Sound to see if the output is stuck on digital out.
