Connecting MacBook Pro with Pioneer A4 WiFi speaker

I have successfully connected my MacBook Pro 15, OSx 10.8.5, with my Pioneer A4 WiFi speaker, both thru AirPlay and WiFi. However, when using Guitar Pro, the audio is about 2-3 beats behind the visual of the tab sheet.
Is there a way I can connect, via physical cable, directly to the A4 speaker? It has one USB port. My Mac has  2 USB ports and two Thunderbolt ports.

What kind of Mac & OS is that?
It's an older version of OSX, Tiger I think.
Amen, I quite understand.
Thanks. I've read that the MBP unibody wifi performance isn't as effective as other laptops, so if I can't use a USB modem and the wifi isn't up to much then I'll be stuck with ethernet.
It's just a big hassle that I didn't expect to have to go through. Some friends bought a £350 laptop at the same time running Vista. Plug the modem in, and bang, they're online. I'm on my third day of trying to set this up, and I'm now having to look at new modem specs and spend yet more cash.
I'm waiting for a monitor cable to come through. I've had to buy the miniport adapter so I've already had to pay Apples £20 tax to use an external monitor that isn't made by Apple.
It's this sort of hassle and additional expense that put people off buying Macs. After a ten year break I thought things had got better, but it's not looking promising so far.

  • Re:  Not getting audio from TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all correct cables.

    How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

    Hi Lynn,
    If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.

  • Connect MacBook Pro with Mini DisplayPort to TV?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro with the Mini DisplayPort outlet. I used to have a PowerBook which I was able to connect to my TV via the video adapter. No such adapter is included with my MacBook. How can I connect it to my TV to view videos, movies, tv shows, etcetera?

    You only need a cable from MBP to Display, i.e. Mini DisplayPort Male to HDMI Male Cable
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-30-30-gold-plated-mini-displayport-male-to-hdmi-m ale-6-feet-cable.aspx
    It's only $9.95.
    But you know, until now Mini DisplayPort can not output audio but only video. As far as I know Cable Matters Inc. has solution for audio output.If you want high audio quality Mini Displayport Male and Toslink Audio/USB Male to HDMI Female Adapter is good for you since it supports 5.1 Channel audio.
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    The price is $47.95, a little expensive. You will need another HDMI to HDMI cable from this adapter to the TV/Screen.
    If you don't require high quality audio this is an alternative Mini DisplayPort Male and USB Male Audio to HDMI Female Adapter.
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-24-32-mini-displayport-male-and-usb-male-audio-to -hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    The price is cheaper for $37.49. You will also need an HDMI to HDMI cable from this adapter to your TV/Screen.

  • Help with Connecting Macbook Pro with LG AX355

    So I recently bought the newest Macbook Pro with OS X 10.5.2. I also just picked up the LG AX355 model cell phone and have been trying to pair the two together to send files from my Mac to the cell phone.
    So far, I have been able to pair the items without any problems. However, when I attempt to send a .mid file to the mobile phone, it connects and then gives me an error message on the phone that says File Transmission Failed and an error message on the Mac that says "The file transfer failed: the connection failed."
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have enabled the Bluetooth sharing already under my settings. Anything else I'm missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Well the very first time I paired the device with the wizard, it told me that I had the option to connect to the Internet via the bluetooth connection I think? As though using the Mac, I could get online with my phone.
    However, when I ran the wizard for the second time, it says I don't have any services except that a computer serial port was created. So, under the Bluetooth preferences pane, I see my phone and under services it says: OBEX Object Push.

  • Retina macbook pro with thunderbolt display causes speaker issues

    I have a thunderbolt display and used the speakers fine on old macbook pro. I now plug in my new retina macbook pro 15" with mountain lion and the sound plays fine for a while then starts to crackle real bad and then stops all together. If I switch the the laptop speakers then switch back after 30 or so minutes the thunderbolt speakers will work again for a short amount of time then again crackle and stop.
    This may be mountain lion related but I have tried another non-retina version macbook pro with mountain lion and did not notice the issue but it was only for an hour or so. So this leads me to belive its the computer.
    Any suggestions? its really really anoying and wasting my time trying to fix it.

    I have the exact same issue. I hauled the TB Display into the Apple Store 3 times and finally they replaced it. Come to find out this new one has the same issue still. So It has to be rMBP related at this point. Unfortunately I don't think I have it under warranty still and the issue is hard to demonstrate. I recorded videos of it but every time I go into the store and plug it is the same as switching the speakers from internal to external and it takes 30-60 mins before it degrates to scratching sounds.
    Please let me know if you ever foudn a solution. Im going to try to keep taking it in until I can get this resolved.

  • Connect macbook pro with iphone 5 via bluetooth

    I have macbook pro and Iphone 5 both have bluetooth turned on. When I go in to Macbook Pro I can see my Iphone 5. When I go into my Iphone 5 it shows as discoverable and searching.....What am I doing wrong? The Macbook won't connect and sync with Iphone and vice versa unless I have a usb cable attached.

    Hello bstaab,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network.  I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    You can find the full article here:

    I hope this helps!

    I have somehow the same problem. I just bought the new iPhone 4S and tried to connect it to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6, latest version, model 2011). The Phone did not see the Mac but the Mac the Phone, so I connected the Phone via Mac.

    Of course I tried again to connect, but I now get always this error:
    It says that the device is not available...
    I deleted the iPhone from the list under Mac and tried again, but it's still the same.
    No my Questions to the community:
    Why does the iPhone not see the MacBook?

    Is Sync not possible via Bluetooth?

  • Help with connecting MacBook Pro with Cisco Routing and Switches?

    I'm running a CiscoASA 5510 router with several Cisco WS-C2960-48TT-L switches on a local network to connect with MacBook Pro. I need to be able to restrict access to specific users via their computer MAC address. ie: Joe Blow is limited to connecting through Switch 1 on port 10 and anywhere else he tries to plug in will simply not work.

    You need to look at the documentation that came with your router and switches. Or ask your network admin to set it up. Your question has nothing to do with your Macbook Pro configuration. MAC filtering is done in the router not in the computers/devices connecting to the router.

  • How to connect macbook pro with hdmi? any ideas?

    hi,
    as the new macbook, doesn't have a dvi port but a faste thunderbols my good old dvi2hdmi cable is useless.
    any ideas, how to connect the new macbook to my hdmi tv?
    thx for help!

    Retina has a HDMI port.
    Others have a ThunderBolt, which is backward-compatible with Mini DisplayPort. Get a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, and make sure you insert it until essentially ALL of the metal end is inside the jack, and you will be in business.

  • Problem connecting Macbook Pro with WRT160n wireless

    My roommate and I recently got WRT160n, and she has a PC and her connection was fine. But for my Macbook, whenever I try to connect to the network and put in my password (the one that I set up) it says that the password is incorrect. I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried configuring with the 192.168.1.1 thing, but that didn't help me much either (unless I was doing it wrong.) Help?

    Make sure that the wireless password is correct ....also disable all firewall on the MAC computer .... & check that you are able to connect the network or not ....
    If so then try to ping the DG ....

    Hi Carolyn - Thank you for responding, I appreciate the help!
    We have a tower, and I don't see an on/off button.  Should I just unhook the power cord from the tower?  We also have the phone line hooked to the tower, should I unhook as well?  I'm assuming the PC is off before I do this?
    Then, turn the computer back on?
    Thank you!

    Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home.

  • HT3986 Whats about the Wifi driver for win7 on MacBook pro with Retina Display?

    Hi guys
    I have a MacBook pro with retina display.
    I've tried to install win 7 64 bit with boot camp.
    Win 7 works but I have now Wifi connection and I can't find any solution
    I can't use the automatic search function from win7 because I can't  use LAN because I have no LAN connection in this Mac.
    So can anybody help me with this problem?

    Did you download and install the Windows support software. The first menu option when running Bootcamp Assistant was to download the Windows Support software.
    If you did download and install the Windows Support Software and wifi still does not work for you, consult Windows help files for how to set up wifi.

  • How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

    I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
    Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
    Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
    Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
    Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
    This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
    I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...
