Macbook Pro Audio - Share with Another Computer

I just bought a new set of speakers for use with my Macbook Pro. I would like to be able to keep it plugged in to my docking station but also have them available when I am using my WIndows PC. Can anyone recommend a way to do this? Do I need a KVM switch? I suppose I would prefer a device that switches the audio only, as there is no need for any of the other KVM functionality that would allow me to use the same keyboard or monitor for both computers. What is the safest way to do this? I don't want to break my speakers. Thanks.

Yes, very easy, it can only share a library when it is ON the same network, hence when the machine is off it does not show up.
It is still runnning home sharing but cannot connect via wifi for it to be shared so does not show it.

How easily can the MacBook Pro be scratched with another aluminium product?

I have a MacBook Pro 15' and an iPad 2 with a Smart Cover. Every now and then, if I carry both in my hands, I stack the iPad on top of the MacBook Pro. I will hear a sound of metal VS metal and I have figured what it was. The hinge of the Smart Cover was rubbing against my MBP. I was wondering, can the 2 scratch each other? I have noticed wear on the metal Smart Cover hinges, and was wondering if the same thing could happen to my MBP.
Thanks for helping!

Aluminum, while flexible and lightweight, is a very soft metal. Apple was very careful with engineering the MBP to round the edges and make the shell as damage proof as possible. Still, with a little bit of hand pressure, you can cut into aluminum with an everyday table knife. That should tell you something.

In System Preferences > Sharing, turn on File Sharing. Then click the Options button and select "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" Then click Done. Note: this is the procedure in Snow Leopard; it may be slightly different in Mt. Lion. Just check in System Prefs > Sharing and you should find what you need.

How do i share a photo album with another computer

I have edited a photo album that I wish to share with another computer in my network. How do I import the album?

If you want to share them as an album the only way to do this is to use iPhoto Library Manager
Using this will also preserve versions and all metadata
Alternatively you can simply export to a folder (File -> Export) and then import to the other Library. If you drag the folder to the Album heading it will create an Album for you. You can get almost all metadata (but not Faces) this way if you export to jpeg, but you won't get versions.

HT3951 How can I share books and audio with another computer?

How can I share books or audiobooks with another computer?

You can't re-download audiobooks on any computer - they are currently a one-time only download. Music can be re-downloaded in some countries, they are listed on this page. But you should be able to copy your purchases from, for example, your backup and add them to the computer's iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library.

My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

Just make sure it is for you or your family.
If you purchased Pages through the Mac App Store, then just login on the other computer using the same Apple I.D. and you can install it at no extra charge.

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system. (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm). When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7. Now windows is intalled. What do I do with the CD that the system created for me? Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion. I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

I need to access my MacBook Pro from Berlin with my MacAir book

Hello and thank you advance
I need to access my MacBook Pro which is in London from Berlin with my MacAir Book.
I bought the app SERVER on recommendation from a One to One trainer but I am now told I need a Static IP and not a dynamic one. For me to change to a Static IP means going to a Business Account with BT and it is VERY expensive for my needs. How can I access my laptop from Berlin please??? I live in London and have BT Infinity there. The app Server does not indicate I need a Static IP when buying it. Do I need to buy something else? dare I say that I could access my previous ..."windows" laptops without any problem?..... can anybody help me? I am an opera critic,NOT an expert... sorry...... Both Laptops run Yosemite and are about three years old.

You can't use the Mac OS X disc that came with another computer to upgrade another Mac because it's not supported. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You shouldn't lose data, but you must make a backup before

Retina Macbook pro audio quality is bad in windows 8.1

Like the title states, my Retina Macbook pro's (2012 model) audio quality is very bad in windows 8.1. It is unbearable to listen to music on it. I am using the latest bootcamp drivers, 5.1. I believe this is a driver problem, as it sounds fine in OS X. I tried to find the proper driver myself with no luck. I feel this is unacceptable on a computer I spent so much money on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes...
I also just recently purchased a MacBook Pro retina 15 (mid-2014) with bootcamp (windows 8.1) installed. While using my windows partition, the MBP seems to be running a bit hot, at least hotter than the OS X partition.
As for comparison, I have the 2012 MacBook Pro retina 13 with bootcamp (windows 8.1). It does not get as hot as the 15, and in fact, I don't think it runs hotter than OS X...
Any thoughts? Is it perhaps because I have the NVIVIDA dedicated graphics and in the windows partition, IRIS PRO isn't running?

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
The network password will appear in the box.
Quit Keychain Access.

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3. When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working. When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode. I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi lancekatigbak,
If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:
