How to get iTunes to see MacBook Pro as 'Remote Speaker'?

I love Airtunes and streaming my music throughout my home with my iTunes Library. However, I'd love the ability to stream this music to my MacBook Pro at the same time that I'm streaming from my iMac to Airport extremes' throughout the house. I'm unaware as to whether it's possible somehow 'out of the box'?
I'm aware of airfoil, but was hoping there was a 'work around' to enable this using solely iTunes.
Thank you in advance for reply.

Nothing in iTunes or Mac OS X allows this. The only option is Airfoil.

Can't get iTunes to new MacBook Pro

My old MacBook Pro had such a small HD that I had to put my music on an external HD. I bought a new MacBook Pro with a 500 Gig drive. The other day I tried transfering my itunes library to the new MacBook. When I have the external drive connected the music plays, but when I don't it doesn't.
The Advanced Preferences window shows iTunes pointing to the right place on my MacBook, but in fact there is no iTunes Library.
This is what the finder looks like:
But here's the location on my Ext. Hard Drive.
It seems evident that my library did not move. I am unsure what to do as I don't want the whole thing to transfer again as the folder iTunes on my new MacBook is nearly 5 gig. What can I do? Followed the instructions for moving the library. But evidently the file that is most important did not move.
I guess it may help to say what happens when I try to play a song with out the ext drive connected: I get an exclamation point next to the song. When I click on it, I get a window asking me to located the song.

Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

which is what I think you did.

How to transfer itunes control from macbook pro to new imac

I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that I have used the past several years as my iTunes 'control' device. It's what I connect my iPhone, iPad, and iPod to in order to sync music, apps, etc and to back those devices up. I just bought a new iMac and would like it to be that 'control' device now, but can't seem to find any way to do that. I can't do anything with Home Sharing except play music while another device is also on the network, and even the iTunes copy directions pertaining to external drives, CDs, etc, all just transfer the music library. I want apps, too. If I try plug anything directly into my iMac via USB I get an annoyingly persistent bonging error message - "iTunes could not connect to this (whichever device I plugged in)".
I was really excited about having my new iMac as my iTunes control base and retiring my MacBook, but it appears I might not be able to do that. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

I gave up and called Apple Support. Turns out it was actually a simple problem - and a valuable lesson learned. Several months ago I was at the airport when I realized I'd forgotten my Apple-to-USB cable. Went to a kiosk and bought a "guaranteed genuine Apple replacement". Well, it isn't. That was the cable I was trying to use to connect my various devices to my new iMac and that was what was causing my problem. Apple support guy was very polite in telling me it wasn't up to Apple standards. Tracked down a genuine, genuine Apple-to-USB cable and bingo! everything is working fine. I'm backing up and syncing my iPad to my iMac as I write this. Caveat emptor when buying "genuine Apple replacement" junk at airport kiosks! And thank you for polite, professional, and spot on support from Apple!

How to transfer iTunes library to Macbook Pro

I have been syncing my iTunes library on my phone with an older HP laptop. I have a new MacBook Pro that I would like to transfer my iTunes library to. What is the best way to do that? If I just plug my phone into the new MacBook, will it copy library to computer or will I lose my music?

I am a music director and have several years of iTunes and non-iTunes purchases in my library. I am not very computer savvy and am scared to death of losing all of my music.
I've tried home sharing but Macbook is not showing my pc in the homesharing option. Both computers show homesharing setting is on with the same apple id on both.
I've tried copying my itunes library on PC to a jumpdrive but when i try to import the folder in iTunes on MacBook it says songs aren't there.
I have a 32 GB iphone 4S that has my entire itunes library on it. If I sync everything on it with old PC to make sure everything is on it and then sync it to my new MacBook, will everything be automatically transferred?

How to get airplay working on macbook pro 2012

I have a Macbook Pro (Retina display) mid 2012 and am unable to connect to Apple TV using Airplay.
Under 'user preferences' 'displays' there is no option to activate airplay mirroring.
I have ensured all software updates are done.
iTunes is also current and airplay will work connecting via Apple TV to play music on TV speakers.
Both PC and Apple TV are connected to same wireless network, and same apple logon.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.
I decided that upgrading was the best option, and am now on Mavericks.
Airplay is working successfully.
Thanks for the quick response. Most helpful.

How to get 5.1 sound macbook pro

I have plugged my mac to my 5.1 bose sound system but only the two left and right speakers are working, how can i get 5.1 sound

Read here:
OUTPUT SURROUND SOUND FROM YOUR MAC: (simplest way)
(*Check first to see if your Mac is capable of outputting surround sound through the Mini Displayport. Most models before early 2009 are not able to output multi-channel audio)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
- Use a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable and connect the HDMI into the Blu-Ray/DVD HDMI input on the receiver and the Mini Display to the Mini Display Port on your Mac.
- Go to System Preferences on your Mac. Click on the "Sound" icon. Then in the "Output" tab, select SONYAVAMP - HDMI
- Then go into Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. On the left side of the window select HDMI. On the right side it then should say "Source: SONY AVAMP"
- Click the "Configure Speakers..." button in the bottom right of the window. Click the "Multichannel" tab. Then select "5.1 Surround" from the pull down menu. Click on each speaker to provide a test tone to make sure each is connect properly. Then click on "Apply"
- Last set is to go into the DVD Player to test it. Go to "Preferences" and click on the "Disc Setup" tab. Under Audio at the bottom of the window select "Digital Out - SONY AVAMP" from the drop down menu for "Audio output" *You now have 5.1 Channel Surround Sound from you Mac!

Where it says 'Sony AVAMP", plugin your speaker system name.

How to get iTunes to see new photos again

Problem...
iTunes and iLife media browser can't see any photos, albums & events I have added/edited in my iPhoto library since June 2012. Can't sync any new photos to iPhone/Pad/ATV as a result.
mountain lion (10.8.1)
iPhoto (9.3.2)
aperture (3.3.2)
I used to have separate iphoto and aperture librarys, but did a large import of Lightroom library (folders) to aperture library (vain attempt to simplify my life) and then started using that as my combined iPhoto/Aperture library. Didn't notice at the time be this is probably about the time new photos stopped syncing (also did mountain lion upgrade about this time).
After various forum searches ive tried the following...
Deleted iPod Photo Cache folder
Using as iPhoto only library (Aperture library set to new blank library and stopped opeing in aperture).
Rebuilt permissions from iPhoto.
Rebuilt library from iPhoto.
Any help please greatfully recieved, this is driving my nuts my Apple ecosystem is frozen in time?
MCB

Updated to Mac 10.8.2, iPhoto 9.4, Aperture 3.4
Opened library in iPhoto - iPhoto tried to upgrade library and hung, assumed this after 2 hour wait and rainbow wheel (tried 2 times with force quit).
Worried a lot.
Opened library in Aperture - it opened fine and peformed the upgrade in about 20 seconds.
Library also opens in iPhoto.
I can now see my recent events and Photos if I set Sync photos from library to Aperture but not if set to iPhoto.
Im thinking either its something to do with the size of library, iphot seems a lot worse than aperture in this regard or some config or metadata is just frozen in time for iPhoto. Seems like I have a partial solution and will experiment with creating new events etc. in both iPhoto and Aperture.

How to get a revision D MacBook Pro in London, UK

I want ONLY revision D models, so here are few questions:
1. are they available now in UK?
2. if i went to the regent street apple store, can i actually open the package and test the machine (to make sure no overheat / screen issues / whiininine ) before I pay for it?
3. Do they sell 7200rpm models in store? becoz that's the only upgrade i need atm.
4. if i order online, can i specifically require for revision D models?
anyway... i just want to get precisly a Revision D model becoz Im spending quite a lot (to me as a student) and don't want to get a DEFECTIVE machine...
many thanks.

As someone pointed out, don't refer to "rev c or rev d". That was posted on a blog, and it was from a second/thirdhand source, not from an official Apple statement.
A "rev" is a hardware spin. It costs hundreds of thousands, if not MILLIONS of dollars to rev a board. Not to mention, it takes weeks of testing to make sure a hardware fix is good enough to warrant spending the investment to spin a new rev of the board.
If a W8612+ board is any better than a previous one, it's likely Apple identified a bad batch of components and they've simply replaced that batch with better ones.
How else can I explain that both a W8607 and W8610 at my Apple store worked perfectly with no whines or heat problems?
None-the-less, when I visited my Apple store to buy my MBP, I kindly asked the person to find me a box with a W8612 or later serial number. And luckily, it also appears to run great.
