Stream audio line in on MacBook Pro to AirPort Express

I'm trying to figure out how to get live music (from a band) to stream through AirTunes. I can get the feed out of the soundboard to the line in on my MBP but I'm not sure what to do from there.

Hello ztpruit. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
One option that may work in this case, is to employ a third-party solution, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. Airfoil is capable of streaming audio sources, outside of iTunes, to an AirPort Express.

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • I need a new modem. Which modems work well with MacBook Pro and Airport Express?

    You need to inquire from your ISP which modems are compatible with their netwrok. They should give you a list.

  • Stream audio & video from my MacBook Pro to my HDTV

    What components do I need to stream video from my Mac Book Pro to HD TV.  I have wireless access throughout my home.

    One common way is to use a DNLA server and client. Some TVs are internet-capable and have the ability to receive media streamed on a local network. If not, you will need a device attached to your TV which acts as the DNLA client - such as a PlayStation 3 or Boxee.
    You still need server software running on your Mac, though - look into Twonkyserver and TVMobili. Some network drives will also act as a DNLA server, so you can store your media there and not have to keep your Mac open and running.

  • Cannot stream music from MacBook Pro to Airport Express

    Hi, I have an Airport Express. But with both my computer (imac and MacBook Pro) if I try playing music from itunes, it cannot connect. An Airplay pop up window opens and trying connection to airport for ever...
    On the other hand, it works when streaming music from iphones or ipads.
    I have tried changing settings...but it never works....
    Can anyone help please
    thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I am afraid it still does not work.
    Now, when I select the Airport, it tries connecting for a long time "connecting to "Airport Name"...but never connects.

  • Macbook Pro / iTunes / Airport Express MISERY!!

    Yes, life used to be good. I got a new Macbook Pro to replace my PB Ti, got all my CDs loaded, got an airport express, began streaming, YES, life was good. Always careful about software, used just mainsteam apps, repaired permissions, etc, always careful.....
    Then, iTunes 7.0 was released........
    Tunes dropout, useless, so so so so disappointed.
    How do I convert back to previous version? Should I dump Apple, buy a PC?
    All this wonderful music, no way to hear....
    APPLE? ***? APPLE?

    It seems iTunes 7 uses IPv6 to stream to AirTunes.
    We have a similar problem here.
    We think that if the hardware you have inbetween your PC and AirTunes (e.g. your wireless router or an ethernet hub/switch) doesn't support IPv6, then you're stuffed. iTunes 7 will SEE your AirTunes but can't stream to it.
    We have spent money on a new router with IPv6. When it arrives, we'll plug it in and see what happens. We'll report back here.
    Things to try: If your PC/Mac has a wireless card, it ought to connect directly to AirTunes once it has associated itself with your wireless network, so, Wireless -> Wireless should always work. You may find that if you alter AirTunes so it creates a network rather is a client to an existing one this will provide a temporary fix. Of course, then you can't use the old wireless networ to surf the net etc. The problem seems to be if you're using a hardwired machine (Ethernet) or network (some hardwired link or router somewhere between you and AirTunes) and the network hardware doesn't support IPv6

  • Cannot print iwth new MacBook Pro on Airport Express

    I have a MacBook Pro, running printing through the Airport Express on a Samsung ML-1750 and in order to use the airport, I have to turn it off, then on and then i can print wirelessly. aftering printing one document, i must turn off airport and then print again. There was never a problem with any of my previous Macintosh laptops in the ten years I have used them with Airport.
    I have lost a day of my life on this problem and would really appreciate help with this.
    thanks

    I have struggled for weeks with this problem, even trying other printer drivers. Now suddenly, out of nowhere, the printer works! And I have only repeatedly installed other drivers to include the gimp print. Why it works, for how it will work--I cannot say.
    Why is this?
    Oh, maybe I shouldn't ask.
    Cheers.

  • Problem with Macbook pro and Airport Express!!!

    I'm having the same problem I have seen others with right now with my macbook pro and my airport express. I have set up and reconfigured the A.Express 3 times now. I have the green light, i have the Ethernet configured, I have full bars of reception but I cannot access the signal. meaning I can not go online even though everything is set up correctly and says that it's good to go. Anybody have any advice?
    Is it an issue with having to re access the network I created with the Airport utility?
    It worked the first time I configured the A. Express with my macbook pro no problem. Then suddenly my computer was just not getting internet. Even though all the settings were ok and I was even getting full bars reception from the device on my comp. So I reset the A.Express and have been having the problem mentioned above since that point. Please help me if you have any advice. Thanks so much in advance.

    I had the same problem, and to test if I was connected launched Safari and Safari after a few seconds of not connecting, it shows you a dialog box, with options to follow up, I follow the dialog box and like magic I am connected to the Internet.

  • Nintendo 3DS not connecting during online games to Macbook Pro or Airport Express Network. Please Help.

    I would love to post this question to the Nintendo Support forums, but I'm abroad right now and it seems I am denied from the forums if I try to log in.
    My Nintendo 3DS's internet features all work perfectly fine except when it comes down to directly playing a match with other users. For example, Mario Kart 7 will download Spot pass data like normal every day, but everytime I tray to play a match online, the software gives me an error. Same thing when I try to connect with people on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. My previous linksys router back in the states worked fine. The security was WEP I remember. Now I've got myself an Airport express and neither it nor my Macbook Pro (when sharing is turned on) will permit me direct online access to other users like I stated above. I even disabled security and went with an open network for a few minutes and was faced with the same exact problem.
    I know this is very specific and mainly involves a none apple product, but I'm just curious what is different about the Apple wireless networks I'm setting up that is preventing me from nothing but direct realtime interactions with other users.
    Any advice or knowledge about Apple security or wireless networks would really help me out. There are only so many settings I can tweak in the Airport Express so I'm sure it can't be too difficult, but I don't even know where to start.

    I guess it's a problem with NAT (Network Address Translation). My ISP is Vectant Ltd. so maybe I should get a hold of them. If anyone has any work arounds that maybe they used with other game consoles (Xbox Live, PSN), I could really use the suggestion. I really like the Airport express and assumed it would be compatible, but I guess not.

  • HT4437 How to stream audio from a Safari web site to Airport Express using Airplay?

    I'm able to stream audio from iTunes to my Airport Express using Airplay, but I can't stream audio from SoundCloud.com or any other system audio (not in iTunes) to the Airport Express. It is my understanding that AirFoil can do the trick but I do not want to spend 25$ if there is another way to do it.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have played around and it's all fixed (not sure what I did and I don't think it was working all along), Tgara, you're right the icon colour has changed to orange for music (but still blue for you tube).

    Good you got it sorted!
    I was wrong about one thing.   Regardless of how I connect (e.g., wifi or Bluetooth), the Airplay icon in an Apple App turns orange when connected to a device, not blue as I mentioned above.  This is probably why you see blue in the Youtube app.
    OK, I am retracting all my posts about the airplay icon and it's color scheme. 
    Seems as if the airplay icon on the music app is orange, but the airplay icon on the podcast app is blue. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to these color schemes or their significance, so I am abandoning all further speculation. 

  • Having trouble making the macbook pro and airport express hok up

    I have a macbook pro and the airport express hooked to a stereo. I need to connect the two together. I also have a lynksis wireless router that can not be hard wired to the airport express. Will this work because I am unable to make it work....
    Do I need the express unit instead of the lynksis

    Just checked that as well, it's set as a wireless N network that is B/G compatible... So it's got to be something else. Thanks for the suggestion though!

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Express Aren't Getting Along

    So this is a little crazy. My Macbook Pro cannot access the internet via my Airport Express [which I'm using to create a network]. All the other wireless devices in my house (iPhone, PS3, etc) are having no problem accessing the internet via the express. And my MacBook Pro can access the internet no problem when I'm connected to other networks...
    My PS3 is getting downloads of about 11.5MBPS from the express, and my iPhone is getting about 6.8MBPS. Though my MacBook is connected to the network, it's getting little to no internet (best I've gotten is .07MBPS, so it's basically nothing).
    Please help. I've tried EVERYTHING (PRAM reset, SMC reset, even bought a new Airport Express).
    Thanks!

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Express

    I have a Mac book Pro / Dell Laptop running XP and an Emac running OsX with a Netgear router using WEP password protection.
    I want to use airport express unit to enable all computers to print on my Brother Hl5140 Laser printer but I cant get the Airport Express unit to register on any of the computers!
    I have tried using the asistant by the AP express unit doesn't appear.
    Where am I going wrong!

    You want to set up the AX in Client Mode...
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in "Client Modet," using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <type in your Netgear wireless network name or select it from the pop-up menu>
    - Wireless Security: Not enabled
    OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Security Options
    Change Wireless Security
    - Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for your wireless network: 40-bit WEP|128-bit WEP | WPA Personal | WPA Enterprise>
    - Password: <enter your wireless network security password or key>
    Music tab (optional)
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <enter name of speaker for iTunes remote speaker list>
    I suggest you try, temporarily, removing wireless encryption, to verify that you can connect the AX to the Netgear. Once working, you can add it back.

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Express = Problem?

    Seem to be having problems when I boot my Macbook it doesn't connect to my airport Express. I have checked my windows laptop and have no issues at all. Also when my macbook goes to sleep sometimes it doesn't connect back up I have to select the SSID and connect up again.
    Tried the usual things changes ssid - channel and so on, I am currently using WEP 128 otptions 802.11g.

    Hi,
    Try:
    1.) System Preferences->Network->Network Port Configurations- Drag Airport to the top of the list, and uncheck ports you don't need.
    2.) System Preferences-Network-Airport and select join Automatic.
    This should solve your problem.

  • Audio line in on Macbook Pro

    Can this line be used for connecting to an external Microphone? Thanks!

    A $2 microphone is just an example - I just wanted to show the plug. A similar microphone works perfectly fine on Windows. I can record sound just fine in Windows.
    Why does Apple make it difficult to use a simple external microphone? Do they save a lot of not having a Mic In jack?...
    All unbalanced microphones (regardless of price) are poor quality compared to their balanced brothers, so that sets the quality. If you said what the microphine is I could be more specific about its requrements ....
    You probably can find a microphone that will plug into the Apple line input and work, but it's still mediocre, buy an interface to go with the mic and use it in Windows & Mac.
