Mac Book is it possible to add speakers?

I have a Mac book, the volume is very low,  is it possible to add speakers? such as
Bose SoundDock Series II Digital Music System
Could I have some recommendations if the above dosn't work.
Thank you

MacBook Pro's come equipped with "audio out" through the 3.5mm... any speakers can be hooked up with the proper connection and through settings, just set it to function as an "output"

  • My mac book air is not showing internal speakers in the drop down

    I had attached speakers to my mac book air. Now after disconnecting them my note book isn't detecting its own in built speakers. When I switch it on the sound comes through the speakers but after that you can only listen to stuff via head phones.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

    I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

    You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
    You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

  • Can a latest Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen?

    Presentation at meetings require Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen.
    A Mac Book Pro is possible to get connected to a display screen using a A1307 adopter.
    Does any one know if the latest Mac Book Air connectable to a display screen using A1307 adopter or anyother means? I would be oblighed to know the possibility prior to buy one.
    Regards

    The Thunderbolt port doubles as a Mini-DisplayPort. Thunderbolt is not the same as Firewire. However, Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor so you can connect Firewire devices to the computer. Thunderbolt devices may be daisy-chained, but a display monitor must be the last device on that chain.
    According to what I found the A1307 adaptor is Mini-DisplayPort to VGA. It will not connect to a Firewire port.

  • Can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

    can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

    Just to add to the conversation with some helpful information. 
    Prior to install i was more worried about finding a Quicken replacement than anything (decided on iBank).  I installed Lion and then realized as I was going through my system that Parallel 5 set up for my previous employer.  As suspected, it did not work. So I upgraded Parallels planning to eventually set it up again in the future including reinstalling the version of windows.  When I finally logged on with after the upgrade, all my files, etc. was still there.  Shocking but true.  Double check to see if this occured with any one else.  Good luck.

  • Uncontrolable mousepad what do I do Mac Book Pro

    uncontrolable mousepad what do I do, I have a Mac Book Pro

    Niels ~ One possible cause can be an old battery which is expanding into the trackpad. Look underneath your Mac for signs of this. If your computer is running Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or later, you can hold the Option key and click the battery status menu to display your battery’s condition, as in the image below:
    Your battery's condition may help you determine if the battery needs a service:
    • If the condition is “Normal,” the battery is functioning normally.
    • If the condition is “Replace Soon,” it is still working but may be starting to lose its ability to hold a charge.
    • If the condition is “Replace Now” or “Service Battery,” the battery likely needs to be serviced.

  • I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

    how do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig ??? or wat files can i delete

    Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
    You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way.  Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
    Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

  • My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus).  How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast

    My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus).  How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
    If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
    Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • How do i add a display to my mac book pro

    Ok I just upgraded my mac book pro OS X 10.8.5 and now when I look under System Preferances and under Displays all I see is the Mac Book built in display I used to see a pictagram of monitors (you could put the monitor to the right or left of the mac book) Now their are none and I used to be able to conect to my TV via the dongel that plugs into the side of the Mac book. So now How do I conect to a Monitor?
    Thanks for any help!!

    First thing you should do is call BofA and suspend your online account and/or change your password.
    The correct IP address for BofA is
    171.161.148.173
    If you paste this into your browser URL field (where it says "apple.com http//discussions.apple.com.... now) you will go directly to the BofA site, no poison in between from a lot of possible issues.
    1: Google poisoned
    2: DNS poisoned
    3: Router DNS poisoned.
    I doubt very much it's your Mac, not that I've playing favorite, it's because Mac's are very highly secure.
    Once you have gone to the correct site by entering the IP address into your URL field and pressing enter, bookmark it and use that from now on.
    Also you should see a HTTPS in the URL when you log in, that means you have a secure connection.
