How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom.  Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4.  It is awesome!
Now, my other need (?).  I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4.  What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4.  From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet.  Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
One other thing to throw in for thought.  I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana.  In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac.  So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro.  If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4?  I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

Hi Starbux48
First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave.  For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.

  • How to use an external display with Windows 7 and a Macbook Pro (Unibody)

    I just set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch with the Windows 7 beta, and noticed that I couldn't get the external monitor to be seen using Windows 7 only. I am using my Dell 30 inch monitor and it was only seeing the laptop's main display. The fix was to download the Nvidia video drivers for the 9 series (e.g. the GeForce 9600/9400), after which it was maically able to see the display.
    The driver can be found here. Enjoy.

  • How to use the design tools in pages 5.2 on Macbook Pro

    How do you use the alignment tools for placing and inserting images in pages 5.2?

    Hi Ivy Janelle,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    In Pages 5, you can insert images using the Media browser at the top of the document window. Once you insert them, you can edit and arrange images using the Format inspector--the paintbrush icon in the top right. You can find detailed information about inserting and using images at these links:

  • New way of using Siri to change how to use an iphone

    hello,
    I try to contact Apple to talk about an invention that came to me I do not know where to go so I am doing here, I use the google translator I am French and I do not speak English well.
    I would like to remove the action to continue to press the home button that opens siri andreplaced with a voice recognition which would allow direct, saying a code name such as: Siri andthis one will say what can I do .
    With this need to get the iPhone from his pocket if you have dirty hands or for example if you're in the shower and you want to listen to or send a message it would suffice to say Siri (or other) thenspeak as he is already.
    I think with this it would change completely how to use an iPhone (a mobile phone in general).
    I hope my idea will be included and will be considered.
    Cordially.
    ps: In one setting to select the word you want to say that Siri opens.

    I did not say that Google and Apple get together in any way, I mean to use new methods listedSir. I do not use android. Siri to open without using finger not just talking.

  • Can I use my iPhone as an internet router for my MBA

    Can I use my iPhone as an internet router for my MBA when traveling? if so how do I do it.
    Cheers
    Ian

    As a router or do you want to use the phone signal to provide an Internet connection? If that is what you are attempting to do you are asking about tethering and need to speak to your cell phone provider to get that service turned on. If you actually want the phone to be a router, no it does not have that ability.

    You can check this and change your code by taking this as an example. I just noted down with simple one input and return as collection type

  • How to use a Mac for broadcasting an internet radio station?

    Hi
    Have been toying with the idea of starting my own internet radio station. I have a new Macbook Pro and one Macbook from 4 years ago (updated to Yosemite though), and I have been wondering if Apple itself loads any capabilities into their hardware for starting off a slick and professional sounding radio broadcast.
    If one uses cloud tech, could the station be run with minimal requirements of storage etc at my end? Could iOS be a possibility if combined with other content over cloud?
    Thanks for any tips.

    Yes.
    Although you will likely have much simpler and more satisfying results by having at least one of your Macs repaired, depending on which Macs you have and which Mac OS you use with them, there are at least the following possibilities:
      • Screen sharing overview
      • Allow access using Remote Desktop
      • Use another Mac as a display (Target Display Mod
