MacBook Pro settings to hear XM Satellite Radio

XM Radio came in loud and clear when I first received my MacBook Pro using wireless. Now I open XM but no sound. I get sound on other sites. Any specific settings required? XM tech support suggests opening ports 80 (HTTP) or 1755 (UDP, TCP). Does MacBook Pro have proxies installed denying me sound? How do I disable firewall/proxy/security center or configure them to allow Windows Media Player access to the Internet? Any help appreciated.

i had the same problem with xm not working on my macbook pro. it worked fine on my powerbook.
when i read your message, it got me thinking, i hadn't tried it since i installed flip4mac. so i tried it, and it works now.
not sure how you can get to it, as it is a beta version for the macbook, but there is a link to it somewhere here in the forums. thats how i got to it.

  • I got a bead stuck in the disc player in my MacBook Pro, I can hear the head when I move the laptop, how do I remove it?

    I got a head stuck in the disc player of my MacBook Pro, I can hear the bead inside the disc player when I move the laptop, how do I get it out?

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Used Macbook Pro settings question

    Bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I remove the old user, and all of his settings, or change his settings to mine? I really dont want to delete all and reinstall the operating system because he left alot of nice programs on it, without the disk, and I dont want to lose them. I am new from windows, and dont have any ideas, since I want to keep the applications. Thank you

    The seller should have included the original installation/ restore discs that shipped with the MacBook Pro, as well as the original discs for all the the "nice programs" included on the Mac. (Possession of the discs confers the license to you, the new owner, and if he kept them he is violating the terms of use.)
    If you have those discs, you should probably do a complete erase and install of the OS, wiping the hard drive (you never know what not-so-nice programs may have been left behind) and reinstalling the system and the applications afterward. You would do this by starting up from Disc 1 of the two Mac restore discs.
    If the seller did not include the discs, contact him and ask for them, as 1) you protect yourself legally and 2) you may need those discs at some point in the future if you should ever need to restore your system or perform any kind of HD repair using Apple's Disk Utility. The discs also have the Apple Hardware Test which can diagnose various hardware issues you may experience. Apple will send you replacements of those discs (for a small fee) if you call AppleCare and tell them your Mac's serial number.

  • Migration from Macbook Pro, settings are macbook pro

    I have migrated my data from Macbook Pro Retina using migration assistance. During the process I didn't allow it to override my current profile, or something. Now when I use terminal, it says
    Name-Macbook-Pro:~ name $
    shouldn't it say
    Name-Mac-Mini:~ name $
    instead?
    Also, when I'm going into my apple store, it has applications for enhancing macbook pro retina experience. How do I change all this?
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, I found out that it was because my Device's name was changed, and in order to change that, just go to shared folder in the preferences and it can be changed there.

  • MacBook Pro Settings

    Hello everyone,
    I've just bought a MakBook Pro and will be using it with logic pro 8,
    I would to know how to set up my MacBook Pro for optimal use with logic.
    Could someone please help.
    Thanks,
    Karl

    Get two fast external FW or eSATA drives - one for samples/Loops - one for recording your Audio to. Keep your system drive free of Audio and Samples as much as possible.
    As you are on a Macbook you'll have to install all content that comes with Logic studio onto the system drive first. After the Installation move all the Jam Packs and Loops to your external and reindex your Library by dragging the content into the Library area in the bin on the right of the Arrange.
    Also get 4 Gigs of RAM.

  • Macbook pro looses login settings with thunderbolt display

    I've noticed that on occasion my MacBook Pro looses its desktop settings when connected to a Thunderbolt display. Why Thunderbolt display discards my MacBook Pro window environment settings upon boot-up is unknown to me. I can tell when this happens when my desktop loads different backgrounds from those on my MacBook Pro.  Furthermore, the option in the System Preferences for changing my desktop background will cease to function. I even notice system wide speed degradation. 
    In order to correct this and reload my MacBook Pro settings I must identify a specific file named “com.apple.loginwindow.plist” and delete it. Doing so resolves whatever existing conflict so that Thunderbolt displays the correct background and enables System Preferrences to work properly.
    I would appreciate very much if anyone has a resolution for this problem.
    Respectfully,

    I think you need to do a search of the of these forums to see if there is an answer.  I saw a lot of suggestions, but the #1 solution is buying a brand new cable.  I have personal experience with that.  My son recently switched from an HP to a MacBook Pro.  The HDMI cable worked perfectly with the HP.  It didn't with the Mac.  He got a new cable for the Mac, everything resolved itself. 
    I have heard all kinds of speculation on it, but it happens frequently enough that there must be something going on.  I'd spend $30 on a new MiniDisplayPort to DVI connector or whatever you use.

  • My Macbook Pro to my Surround Sound System, possible?

    I have a Philips FR 963 (Google it, found nothing, but its newer model, the FR 965 is everywhere, I think they're pretty much the same save a few minor differences) anyway, I want to connect my Macbook Pro to it to play iTunes radio, is there a cable for this? is it possible? under say, twenty bucks? thanks!

    Mine works through my airport express just have to turn on Airtunes in the Airport utility. Airfoil is a program that can accomplish this for apps other than iTunes too.

  • Macbook Pro won't eject cd completely

    When trying to eject a cd on my Macbook Pro I clearly hear the eject mechanism working as it should. But somehow the cd never comes out. Instead the drive acts as if a cd was just inserted and starts reading the disc.
    I've tried various commands in Terminal, rebooting the computer while pressing the mousepad and even tilting the MBP in various directions while ejecting - all with similar results.
    I'm getting pretty desperate. Suggestions anyone?

    My MBP just started doing this yesterday, I was able to eject the disc by holding my MBP upside down i scheduled an appt for later today to have my drive replaced

  • Audio pitch / playback speed issue, MacBook Pro 10.4.10

    I experienced a very strange audio pitch and speed issue that affected a recording I was making in Ableton Live 6.0.3.
    Setup is MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, Mackie Onyx Satellite FW interface for audio, recording straight to internal HD.
    I made two multitrack recordings (3-4 tracks each) which played back fine initially within Live. I then rendered the audio to AIFF in order to burn data and audio CDs.
    Testing the playback in iTunes, the audio was strangely pitched lower than what we originally recorded. Checking other tracks from my iTunes library, they were playing back FASTER or higher-pitched than normal, and so did audio streamed from MySpace that I was familiar with.
    CDs burnt from these AIFFs exhibited the same "lower pitch" / slower playback.
    Reopening the Live Set, they were now also playing back lower pitched than what we had heard just minutes beforehand during the recording / mixing.
    After I let the computer sleep for a few hours, I came back and checked -- system and internet audio was now playing back at normal speed, but the Live Set was still lower-pitched - the individual WAV files in the set were all pitched lower.
    The Live recording prefs were stock standard - set to record 24 bit WAV at 44.1Khz. Since the issue seemed to affect non-Live audio as well, I'm guessing it was something more at the CoreAudio level?
    I managed to salvage the session by taking the exported AIFFs into Tracktion 3 and using the pitch change function in the Clip Properties pane. One track was 1.5x off, the other was 1.125x off.
    I'm at a complete loss as to why this would happen. It's a first (and hopefully only) occurrence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Could this be some sort of intermittent hardware (clock) glitch? Something to do with 6.0.3 and OS 10.4.10?
    I do need to take this MacBook Pro in for servicing - it experienced the "bulging battery" issue and has a partially dead keyboard (the keys near the upper right) - but even with those issues I've not had audio issues like this.

    In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
    About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
    I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
    Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.
    cheers

  • MacBook Pro not recognising EAC burnt audio cds

    Hi, I have been searching all day over forums and google trying to solve this problem but had no luck.
    Using the EAC burning guide from the Wiki articles I burnt several audio CDs on my windows vista laptop. Everything seemed to go fine in the burning process. All the CDs work fine with all my cd players as well as my slightly old iMac and other Windows computers. However, when I insert the CDs into my MacBook Pro they are recognised as blank CDs. The strange thing is, is that my MacBook Pro will recognise consumer CDs from the shops without any hassle.
    I've tried two different disks (maxwell cd-r and a blank non-branded cd-r) so I think we can eliminate any media problems.
    It could be a problem with the burning process but then why would it work on all of those other platforms including another Mac?
    I have tried re-installing older versions of iTunes, same result. My MacBook Pro is currently up-to-date too. Also to add that I have made audio CDs on this MacBook Pro using both Toast and WaveBurner that play fine.
    Does anyone have any ideas, I think it is likely to be a problem with my MacBook Pro settings but would not know where to start?

  • MacBook Pro is not silent?

    My friend has a white MacBook and when you use it, you can hear barely any fans running, it doesn't even sound like its on. On my MacBook Pro I always hear a suttle sound.... Why is this?

    Your friend's computer may just have a quieter hard drive in it. Its plastic case may absorb more vibration than your metal case. Your fans run 100% of the time; perhaps the MacBook's don't, I don't know. The Macbook may have only one fan in it, and if you have a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro, it has two. The Macbooks fan or fans may just be quieter than the Pro's. There are all kinds of possibilities. What isn't possible is making a machine that has fans and a spinning hard drive, yet is totally silent.

  • I purchased a song from iTunes radio through Apple TV.  The song does not show up on my iOS devices or my MacBook Pro?

    I tried out the new iTunes Radio last night through my Apple TV.  Even purchased a song.  Can't find the song through any of my iOS devices or my MacBook Pro music library.  What am I missing?  It said that the song would be on my devices.  Help?

    Hi Dreanmachine1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you purchase a song on your Apple TV, it is available on all of your devices. There are a few reasons why you may not see the song on your iOS devices or your MacBook Pro. They may not be set up to download purchases automatically, or you may not have been signed into the iTunes Store.
    I'd suggest trying to download the purchases on your other devices using the steps in this article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You may also want to check your automatic download settings, so you can receive future songs automatically. See this article for help:

  • I've been using firefox for my macbook pro for the last three years but lately when it starts up, I hear a strange piano chord play. Have others experienced it?

    Only recently has Firefox for my macbook pro been acting strange when starting up. I will hear a piano chord play only once when the tabs are loading. Over the past two-three weeks on daily usage, this has happened three times. I'm just concerned my macbook has a virus/bug or if this can be resolved with changing a preference/setting in Firefox. I don't believe this is a problem with my computer itself and I have checked the notification alert sounds and none are the piano chords I'm hearing. I am currently using two add-ons: Tabs-mix plus and FVD Speed Dial if that helps.

    Does it happen when you start up in Safe Mode?
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

  • When I turn on my MacBook Pro .....I hear the sound as if it gonna come on but there is no picture . Why is this happening and what can I do to fix this? My MacBook Pro is a 15 inch 2011 model.

    Ok earlier today I was at work on break and I usually use this time to check emails,iChat messages ,etc. when I tried to turn my MacBook Pro I hear the sound as if it' is gonna turn on....but my screen is still black mind you the battery is fully charged.....why is that and what can I do to fix this problem......I LOVE MY MACBOOK PRO and I'm upset because of the issue. Can someone please help me ? I'm suffering from MacBook Pro withdrawal :(

    If you've activated FileVault, only the users that were authorized to unlock the startup volume will appear in the pre-startup authentication dialog. Once the system has started up, all users will appear in the login dialog.
    To authorize more users after the volume has been encrypted, select the FileVault tab in the Security & Privacy  preference pane. Click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click Enable Users...
    You should only enable users whom you trust implicitly with all data on the system, not just their own data.

  • I hear my 2010 17" Macbook Pro starting but no picture on screen. HELP!

    I have a 2010 17" macbook pro with no upgrades besides software updates, instillation and small normal things like those. I left it on one night when i fell asleep listening to pandora (internet radio). The next morning i connected the charger to it and tried turning it on. I heard the top left part of the key board (opposite to the cd drive) come to life but couldn't hear the cd drive boot up. Neither the keyboard or screen light up either. I tried changing the RAMs but that was't the case. Any help?

    Is the small "sleep" light at the front blinking or pulsing slowly, or off? 
    It would have gone into sleep mode automatically when the battery falls below a certain point.  Sometimes they need to have a little charge in addition to the power adapter before you can wake them up (by pressing Return, not by pressing the Power switch).  Replacing the RAM in the middle of this state complicates things. 
    You might try a Force Power Off by holding the power down for 10 seconds, wait a bit, then power up again.
