How do I use the MacBook Pro's audio line in?

Hi,
I've been trying to connect my Playstation 3's analog audio output to my MacBook Pro but it doesn't seem to work. Everytime after I connect it, there still won't be any sound coming out of the speakers.
How is the analog line in supposed to work?
Thanks!

Hi Ymer,
Have you selected "audio line in" as your sound source in System preferences / Sound?
The other thing you will need to do is get hold of a copy of an excellent little utility produced by the people who make "Audio Hijack", called "Line-In" - available from http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/LineIn.shtml or direct from the maker at http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/
There is no need to use a sound recording app, if you use "Line In", though that is another option.
Cheers
Rod

  • How can I use the MacBook Pro webcam with Windows XP apps under Parallel?

    Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.
    I have a MacBook Pro and I have just installed Parallel with Windows XP. I would like to use the webcam that comes with the laptop for applications that run under Windows XP (ex.: PalTalk).
    The application doesn't seen to recognize the camera. Do I have to load the drivers for this camera in XP? If so where can I find them and what is the process?
    Thank you again,
    Enrico

    You probably need to load the Boot Camp drivers that are on the Leopard DVD. Whether it works or not I can't say, but you may want to post your question on the Parallels forums, since it's not an Apple product, and if anyone has gotten it to work you'll find them over there.

  • How do I use my macbook pro lid closed

    How do I use my macbook pro lid closed?

    Well what i'm trying to do is keep file sharing on while macBook is closed so i can access files through "newtwok" (Back to my mac) with my imac...
    Ideally i would then control my macBook with screen sharing on my imac while the MacBook is stored behind my iMac...
    Somehow it worked before but now it stopped...and everytime i close the lid ..mac book pro goes black screen and completly disconnects from the newtwork...
    Everything works fine with lid open..
    I am trying to do this because i have a new imac with thunderbold and an older macbook pro with mini display port..and as you might already know...you canot connect these thow devices using thunderbolt cable...which really *****....there is also no adaport enabling this...and i really dont need to buy another mac book that just has one more hole in it >.<
    Anyway..hope there is a solution somewhere to keep file sharing going while lid down..
    regards remo

  • How do I use my MacBook Pro to watch exactly what my digital cable box would send to my TV?

    How do I use my MacBook Pro to watch exactly what my digital cable box would send to my TV?

    You could use Elgato Systems' EyeTV product to view external video sources on your MBP.
    There is additional cost involved, but it would achive what you want. You can buy the Hybrid product, and connect your external DVD player via Composite (red, white and yellow connectors) to your MBP via the EyeTV.

    Unfortunately, that is not possible. The computer only can "output" your display image, it cannot "input" an image from an external computer and display it on your MacBook's retina display.

  • How do i use my macbook pro as a fax

    how do i use my macbook pro as a fax

    I bought a US Robotics USB modem that has a phone jack.  I then went into Settings, and set it up as a fax.  I can RECEIVE, but haven't really tried to send, although I do have access to a scanner.  I do have to physically jack into the wall to receive.  I do not know if I (or anyone else) can do this wirelessly. 
    The modem is 56K, and relatively cheap...I think I paid $25 or less for it.

  • Is there anyway to use the macbook pro as a moniter for a seperate device?

    Is it possible under a program of some sort to use the macbook pro's screen as a seperate moniter for a device because I am always on the go and I bring my macbook everywhere so it would be extremely conveniant if I could use it's amazing screen as a moniter for: dvd player,xbox,ps3,etc.

    Macbook Pro's have dvd players built in.  Is yours broken?  Yes, you can hook up an xbox 360 or a ps3.  google provides several articles and video tutorials on how to accomplish this.

  • Is is possible to use the MacBook pro as a handsfree for the iPhone?

    Why we cannot control de iPhone using the MacBook pro?.
    It should be very easy, but it is not.
    I even can't pair my MacBook pro with my iPhone, see pic!
    I really do not understand why we can not use the MacBook bluetooth capabilities to make calls, answers calls etc.
    Apple let us use the Mac bluetooth capabilities to use and control our iPhone, it should be easy, also!

    You may think it should be easy, but in reality it is not.  Your MacBook Pro is not a dedicated handsfree headset, and it would take a considerable amount of effort to write the application code to create a program for your MBP to emulate one.  You can find any third party developer you like and convince them to create a Mac App for you which will provide you with a user interface on your Mac, and use Bluetooth to emulate a handsfree headset for your cell phone (it swouldn't even have to be an iPhone) and see just how much they want to charge you for such an application.  You might be surprised to see how high those numbers really are...

  • Using the MacBook Pro with external Monitor and Keyboard

    This may be a dumb question, but here it goes anyway:
    Can I use the MacBook Pro with an external monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without having it opened all of the time ?
    I am planning to buy a MacBook for my wife and most of the time she will be using it at her home office.
    I don't want her to use the computer opened all of the time when she is actually looking at the separate screen and using a separate keyboard. Having the laptop opened will only accumulate dust and reduce the lifetime of the built in screen.
    What I would actually need is a kind of "docking station", but Apple doesn't make that - I know.
    So can the MacBook at least be operated without the internal screen powered on while it is closed?
    Thanks for your help
    Martin

  • Using the macbook pro with lcd drain the battery?

    hello guy i bought a macbook pro 13 last week and according to what they say  is up to 7 hours and im only getting like  5 just using the web or chatting or doing very basic stuff, i also  want to know if using the macbook pro connected to the lcd tv drain ur batter y too. thanx

    I cannot quite undertsand all you just said.  Some punctuation to break up into sentences will help.
    But if you are trying to say "I hope I did not spend so much for a product no beter than a Windows PC", then I think you will eventually find your $$ were well spent.
    As I said, my work-supplied 14 in Windows PC laptop gets  at most 4.5 hours.  I get 5-6 under average use with my 15 in MBP.
    Hang tight, you will firgure it all out.

    Drink the Irish, and as for the cleaning Vodka, buy the absolute cheapest one in the store, the one you wouldn't want to drink.
    They all meet FDA standards for human consumption unlike alcohol in the drug store.

    What if ingesting from DV tape to FC X using the Macbook Pro Retina which lacks a firewire port

    I have used it quite a bit for connecting to external drives, etc. with no problems. Have not done a tape ingest as we don't have tape based cameras to work with any more. It appears to emulate a FW800 port perfectly.
