Connecting two headphones to Macbook Pro without splitter

Hello,
I would like to know whether there is anyway of connecting two headphone sets to my computer without a headphone (I am aware that they are cheap and relatively easy to come by, but this would be easier). My laptop has an audio IN and an audio OUT jack - the idea would be to change the audio IN to an audio OUT. I know this is possible on Windows, so I figured it might be possible on a Mac as well. Is there an app or system tweak that will allow this?
[OSX 10.6.8 running on a 2010 Macbook Pro 15"; 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5; 8 GB RAM; Intel 160 GB SSD]

the idea would be to change the audio IN to an audio OUT.
Not possible. Just get yourself an inexpensive splitter cable. Easy. Cheap. Works.

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).

Connect iPhone 5 to MacBook Pro without personal hotspot

I am trying to pair my iPhone 5 to my MBP so I can use Dialectic. I keep getting an error on the iPhone saying that this device is not supported. It seems I am supposed to turn on my Personal Hotspot, but I can't do that as I have an unlimited data plan from AT&T and if I do that it will change my data plan! I must be missing something. Please help!

Not too sure if this answers but I had problems with tethering my macbook pro to new Iphone 5. This is how I did it. Blue sync device via Macbook. Clear all devices first so that it picks up phone then go through steps. The Macbook said all was fine the phone said forget device. Don't panic.
Go to the wifi connection on mac and you're phone should be there click on it. It will ask for a wifi code which will be on your iphone, (not the five digit number). You'll find in settings>personal hotspot,punch that in and it should work.
I know it works coz I'm writing this, after a lot of stress and confusion. Jeez apples supposed to be easy.
Hope this helps.

Jaybird headphones and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth connectivity issues

I recently purchased the Jaybird Bluebuds X Premium headphones and for awhile it would connect to my new Macbook Pro Retina 15'' via bluetooth, but now it doesn't anymore. The headphones connect just fine to my phone (iPhone 4S), and other Macbook Pros (not retina), but they do not connect to other Macbook Pro Retinas. I was wondering if this was a connectivity issue with Macbook Pro Retinas and if so how can I get around it to connect the headphones again?
Thanks

Hey there LongHorn16,
It sounds like your Bluetooth headphones aren't working with this one computer, but there is no issue with other devices that you have. I would start with these 2 steps from the following article:
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
Reset your Bluetooth device
Try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, see if you can reset your device—refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.
Bluetooth Quick Assist
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153
If it still doesn't work, then I would next use this article to remove the device:
Bluetooth: How to Delete a Paired Device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27116
Then restart your computer and pair it again:

How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).

Help Connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor

Hi,
I am trying to connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor. I am not having a lot of luck.
My machine:
OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I am trying to connect it using the:
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
DVD-D HDMI cable
YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/150788045871?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649#ht_16597wt_877)
Here is what is happening.
1. I connect the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter + HDMI Cable to Monitor
2. Main monitor powers up like it is trying to display
3. Laptop Monitor displays second part of desktop
4. I can never get the Yamakasi to display a picture
Here is what I have tried:
1. Different HDMI-D cables
2. ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
3. Zapping the P-Ram
4. Powering monitor with laptop closed
5. Forcing the system to see the second monitor
The nearest I can figure:
- The laptop does see the catsleap (it displays resolutions I can set it to)
I am completely stumped, I was hoping someone could advise me.
Thanks,
Don

Hey Kytarx,
I found the winning combination this weekend.
I tried:
- Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
- ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
- Monoprice Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI®, DVI & DisplayPort Adapter
My experience:
- Altona didn't work at all, and their support claimed it would not.
- Monoprice didn't work to Dual DVI, it did work to HDMI (great price I wish it did)
- Apple Mini Displayport adapter did work, but would only work with certain USB + Display port combos.
The thing that was tripping me up was that two of the Dual DVI-D cords were bad. Once I found the working cord, it was easier to find the working adapter. The experience I did find to be a frustrating / expensive one. However, the Monitor itself is beautiful.
Hopefully this helps someone else..

HT3413 can I connect my new 15" macbook pro to 2 external video monitors?

can I connect my new 15" macbook pro to 2 external video monitors?

Not without an adaptor such as those from Matrox.

I just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and since then put it on 6-7 hours of charging but still my macbook pro is not 100% charged. but why? (green light is displayed on the adapter pin)

i just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and when i switched it on the battery was 72 % charged and now the battery is charged to 62%, i used the charger that came with it and kept it for 6-7 hours on charging but it is not charged to 100% but why? also the green light is always on when i plug the charger with my mac book pro.Please tell me the meaning of Green light on power cord lid (mac book pro not charging or charging?) and also the other light if there like amber or any other colour.

Hello Shailendras33,
Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro! Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the charging issue.
Firstly, I found some information on page 11 of the MacBook Pro User Guide about what each color of the LED means on the Power Adapter:
When you first connect your power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator light on the
MagSafe connector starts to glow. An amber light indicates the battery is charging. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
You can find the MacBook Pro User Guide here (this is not for the latest MacBook Pro, but the information about the MagSafe adapter is true for the newest model):
MacBook Pro User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_2011.pdf
It sounds like you are not getting the amber light indicating your computer is charging, and you are noticing that the battery level is depleting. I recommend resetting your System Management Controller when something like this is occurring:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
As far as mounting the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
Shorten it to FredTC
No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard.

Urgent: new macbook pro - without Lion

I am not from the US,
what should I do to get Lion for free, I'm entitled for it according to this:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
but I cant fill the forms since they regarded to US residents.
What should I do, It's been almost 30 days since I bought it (From Apple Store in the US).

You got yourself a new MacBook Pro without OS X Lion?
Consider yourself lucky!
If you get the free download, make a bootable DVD (or two) of it and save it, delete the installer you can always download it later.
I wouldn't go installing Lion or using it now until you fully understand it and the bugs get worked out, perhaps about 6-8 months from now. (also third party programs and hardware drivers need to be updated)
If your a early adopter then by all means go ahead, but if this is your first Mac, better stay on OS X 10.6.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
You can also make a bootable clone of 10.6 with Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper on a blank, HFS+ journaled formatted powered drive, it's hold the option key bootable.

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 I could tranfer files from my iPad to my MacBook Pro without any software?

I never found a method how to do transfering files between iPad and MacBook Pro without any software.
Exist some method?
If you know how to do it, please help me as faster as you can!
THANK YOUU!!

Hi,
Unfortunately general file transfer is not currently supported on iOS devices. If you have apps installed on your iPad that support file sharing, you can exchange files with these apps by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the Apps tab on the device's page in iTunes. If you scroll down here, you will find a list of apps, that support file sharing, and you can copy file to/from the particular app, but there's no way of accessing the iPad's file system without 3rd party software, and even if you use one, it will be able to access the file storage areas of the file system, but not the OS root folder. You need a jailbroken device to do that.
iTunes also copies all your photos and videos from your devices. The only official way of moving file between iOS devices is with iTunes. If you consider iTunes a software (it is one) than there's absolutely no way for that, if your device is not jailbroken.
Just to be clear, I'm against jailbreaking, because it makes your device vulnerable, and can create a lot of problems, that would not exist on a factory device.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Gábor

How do I migrate from a 2008 MacBook Pro without a screen to new 2014 MacBook Pro?

How do I migrate from a 2008 MacBook Pro without a video screen to a 2014 Macbook Pro?

Use your backup drive instead. No backup drive, then get a monitor and connect it to your computer. Or take the whole shebang to the Apple Store for help with the transfer. Or you can remove the drive from the old MBP and put it in an external enclosure.
