Sending audio to different computer to be played

I have a Mac Pro and a Macbook pro, Im trying to figure how I can send audio to my Mac Pro via a wired connection to be played. My Mac Pro is hooked up to my stereo system and I just want to be able to click on songs In my Itunes and than have it sent to my Mac Pro to be decoded and played through it. My Macbook Pro is connected through a Ethernet cable and a Firewire cable to my Mac Pro. I use to use an App that allows the Audio coming into the Mac Pro to be directed out to the Output jack but that causes a lot of distortion. Im not a fan of the Itunes Home sharing, Are there any other ways to accomplish this?
Sorry if this is unclear, thanks for all your help.

After doing research I have found that the headphone jacks on Macbook Pros are also Mini Toslink, after finding that out It was very easy to do. I used the Linein App and passed the audio through the optical port (which is now connected to my Macbook Pro via a Toslink to Mini Toslink cable) to my output. This got rid of the distortion issue and works perfectly. Hope this helps anyone who is try to do this or something similar.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Sending a book for printing from a different computer

Hi everybody,
I'm an Aperture registered user and I live in Italy. At home, I actually have a quite slow internet connection. On the other hand, my office one is very fast but our lan does not accept a mac so I can't connect my macbook pro. Is it possible to "send" the book from a different computer? I mean, once Aperture have created the pdf-x, is it possible to carry the file from my macbook pro to my office pc and send it to Apple for printing?
Thank you!
Paolo

Boot into Safemode and Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If it is good order while in safe mode

How to play music or voice audio from my computer though my sterio system.

How can I play music or voice audio from my iMac G5 computer though my sterio system. I have tried everything I can think of. I just can not get the audio from my computer to play though my sterio system. I want to take the audio from my computer and record it back to audio cassett. Please tell me there is a easy way to go about this LOL. Thanks.

I wanted to give a big thanks to all that gave me great and very needed help. I wanted to let everyone know that. I did fix my problom with get music out of my computer and into my stereo. Here is how I did it. If you already have a stereo with a RCA line in you are good to go. All you need is a hifi-link I got one from circuit city. With it you can take the music from your computer be PC or Mac and play it though your stereo but again your stereo must have a audio in for you to get music to come though your stereo or at least it was the only way I could get it to work for me. Oh and you will need a free USB port on your computer for the hifi-link to hook to see it dose not us your computers audio card. Instead it go's though your USB. It work just great. But you should read on the back of the box or when you are looking for iy on the net make shour it will work with your computer some older systems it will not work with.
I have been needing a new stereo for sometime now. I really like shelf stereo systems. So I got me a Sony MHC-GX570XM. Now it sells for $249.95. Now I did a search for this system and the only plays I could find that sells it was Sony. Now here is the kicker I went to Sams with my Dad. We had stoped to look a the flat screen TVs. As we were walking away from the electronics. I saw it as plain has day there it was in all it glory. Now the crazy thing is this system was not on there web site though it could be now. But when I was looking for this cool system they did not have it on there web site. I got this system for get this $199 thats like I think $50 off the asking price. Now I would have been more then happy to pay the $249.95. I liked to have had a fit right there in the store LOL. I thought I was going to have to order it online. If I had did that I would had haved to pay even more with s/h...
Now two of the big reasons I got this system was for the PC/line in or you can hook up a MP3 player and play it though the system very cool. Sec reason It has to cassettes decks 1 plays and the other recordes. The really cool thing is it is XM radio ready. Though you will need a XM membership and a XM antina. But from what I have read thats all you need. It also has a 3 CD changer that swivals. It has so many cool thing I can not name them all. Now this system my not be for everyone. But it dose all that I need and more. Also it really helps to have a hifi-link so you can hook it to your computer the easy way and not have to go though your sound card. Thanks again for everyones time and help.

How can I get synched audio through the computer rather than camera in FCE?

There does not seem to be an easy way to listen to FCE audio through the computer's setup for internal or external speakers. I have for years used Detour to route all of my audio through an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface, and then on to my home stereo system. I then route all systems sounds and sounds in apps like iMail through the internal speaker. This works great. Except with Final Cut Express. For quite a while I could not do anything except play through a firewire connected to an attached Sony PC100 digital video camera, plugging headphones into it's jack.
After many hours and reading many strings on this and other discussion boards, and even reading the product manual, I tried sending FCE through the computer speaker and sure enough it works. By that reasoning, I had Sound Prefs send all audio through the m-Audio setup and that works. Except now I must listen to all of the system sounds that way as well.
OK, I could live with that for my editing sessions, except that now I am experiencing a sound synch delay of around one second. It's all fine when I switch back to the camera as the monitor, but not when routed through, what should be the better sound setup, having the comouter send the soud via the m-audio and stereo.
G5 dual 2Mgz Mac OS X (10.4.5) m-audio firewire 410; 1.5G DDR SRAM;

In final cut, you want the audio to be following the same path as the video - otherwise, as you have experienced, there are processing delays.
If you are sending your video out firewire to an external monitor, the audio should follow. Take the audio off of the A/DV converter and route it to your speakers (or amp & speakers) from there.
good luck.

Itouch not sending audio to car speakers

I recently added an AUX cable to my Alpine car stereo, but my ipod touch will not send audio to the car speakers. When its plugged in to the cable it just plays through the built in speaker on the ipod. The cable is the older 12v type, so I understand it will not charge the ipod, but I would expect it to send the audio signal??? I also tried a older 30Gb ipod video model and it plays just fine, so I doubt its a bad cable. I was going to buy the 12v to 5v converter to support charging for the ipod touch, but I am not sure that will fix the audio problem...
Any feedback would be appreciated!!!

Sometimes the manufacturer of cables are not uptodate with the many iPod models.
You have to check different supplier.
I have a Skoda Octavia with a Radio Navigation system which is the exact copy of VW or Audi.
The iPhone cable of Skoda did not worked with the iPhone 4 and I am using an Audi cable.
Nobody at Skoda/Audi have a serious explanation.

Old computer and ipod play files but new computer and iphone4 will not! why

Well I just found out I have a problem. About a year or so ago I converted an audio tape to AAC by running a line into my iMac G5 and recording the files. Now on my new mac mini snow leopard server I cannot get the files to play, but when trying to play it on my old iMac G5 there is no problem. I have it set as an audiobook since it's some tapes that go along with a textbook I use for teaching.
If I sync the files on my iPhone 4, they will not play. If I sync them on my old ipod with clickwheel (40GB) they play fine (synced from my new computer), and they play fine on a Windows 7 machine running iTunes. So I cannot figure out what is my problem.
I have tried converting the files a million different ways on the old machine and the new machine without any luck.
Does it have something to do with the new quicktime integration with Snow Leopard?

may have to restore as new http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail. My mail is sending from the wrong account. even on "reply" it sends from a different account. I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account. Help.

I HAD two accounts because of this problem. I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client. Guess what is happening?? That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening. This is incredibly frustrating. When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system. COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

Computer lags when playing games.

Hi folks.
I have a problem with my computer, several in fact.
1. Computer lags when playing games(Battlefield/Desert Combat) even on lowest video settings, especially when there is a lot of action.
2. When I open "My Computer" it searches for 3-5 minutes before files appear, but when opening "my documents" for example, it opens it without any delay.
3. Startup is fast but when logging on, computer hangs for a couple of minutes, before completing log on.
Is there anyone who can help me out???
plz help

Hi NovJoe, thanks for the reply. Nice rig by the way.
Ive disabled all programs except essential windows programs in Task Manager, it didnt help.
Ive changed to new drivers, uninstalled them, changed to older drivers, tried 7 different drivers.
VGA card is running cold, CPU is on 40 cel. under full load, RAM is cool as well. PSU isnt running hot either.
Even checked the chipset, and thats cool also. I switched cabinets and that helped a bit(different PSU).
Now I only have problems with the lagging when playing.
So now Ive ordered a new PSU and mobo (MSI 865PE NEO2-V) I have a feeling its the VGA slot thats not giving me enough power to the VGA card.
And the new PSU is just so cool I had to have it. When Ive complete the build Ill post pics on the forum.
Anyways, Ill let you guys know if this will solve my problem.

MacBook 2007 black 13" would a mini-DVI to HDMI cable send audio to the TV?

I attached my macbook (2007 black 13") to my TV with a mini-DVI to VGA; would a mini-DVI to HDMI cable allow my audio to play through the TV? Wanted to ask before I purchased it. Thanks.

No. The black MacBooks don't send audio through HDMI, so you'd need to connect the audio separately.

If I manually save the bookmarks, and place them on a different computer, are my login passwords for those bookmarks also going to be transfered?

Hi guys! Hope you're doing great!
I want to give some very important bookmarks to a colleague of mine, but for most of them I have passwords saved in Firefox 34.0 (Linux 14.0.4 LTS).
I am worried that giving her the bookmarks that I have downloaded on my PC from the Import/Export Bookmarks option, will also give her the login passwords for them.
Is this going to happen or it's ok to send her the needed bookmarks? I do not have another PC on which I can test that at the moment.
I searched through these recommended articles:
- Can I restore my bookmarks if they were saved to the same profile on a different computer?
- why does firefox corrupt my bookmarks every time I load it on a different computer?
- How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?
- Where are my logins stored?
- Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
Thank you very much!

Passwords are stored in the password files (encrypted).
Bookmarks are stored in the bookmarks file.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your

In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!!

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!! Is there any way around this?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

Audio Clicking and broken up when playing back from timeline

Can anyone please give me some advice about a possible solution to a continuing audio problem I am having when using the Tascam Fireone with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4. (Fireone working well with Logic 7 on the same machine)
The Symptoms are as follow:
When playing back edited clips or music from the timeline there are constant ugly pops and clicks.
Any audio or video and audio even with differing sample rates when played in the source monitor are unaffected and play perfectly.
I have tried everything I know and am now at a total loss as to what to try next.
Tascam's so called support ignore any communication from me about it, as do most people on this forum.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you

I think it is a driver issue between Tascam and Apple Firewire connections
It's all very frustrating as Tascam just do not respond to support questions well.
Thanks for your comments, it's back to the drawing board with the Fireone and Final Cut Pro, a great shame because it's cheap and very good with Logic.

On my ipod touch my songs start in random places and jump to different places as it plays, the remember position is not ticked can anyone please help?

On my ipod touch my songs start in random places and jump to different places as it plays, the remember position is not ticked can anyone please help?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
