Stream Bluetooth Audio to Macbook Pro

Hey All,
Hopefully one or more of the mac faithful on here can help me accomplish what I'm looking to do. I need to get this up and running by next weekend so time is of the essence!
Essentially, I want to transmit audio from my home stereo receiver (I have a Bluetooth audio transmitter hooked up for this purpose but it's designed to stream to bluetooth A2DP headphones) to my macbook pro and have it play on my macbook pro.
The macbook pro model i have is this one: MacBook Pro (Late 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz) - Technical Specifications, and i don't have any additional audio or bluetooth software other than what came stock with the computer.
TIA!

I got that to work... by running Windows XP in VMWare, using an external bluetooth adapter, and installing the WIDCOMM software from Broadcom. I would very much like this functionality in OS X too, since Im regularly connecting my MBP to my stereo, and I have an Android phone with no built-in AirPlay support.
It would be perfect if I could select an A2DP source as audio input in the Sounds preferences pane..

    You will need an application like Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio files on your computer to the AirPort Express.

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

  • IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?

    iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
    When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
    But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?

    When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    See this document - the section on "Importing Photos to your Computer":  iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes

  • HT3887 I m not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Error is Bluetooth : Not available.

    I am not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Found error is Bluetooth not available. Please inform me.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Somehow, OS X doesn't detect Bluetooth in your computer. First, reset the PRAM and the SMC, and see if you can use Bluetooth then.
    If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X. If, after reinstalling OS X, you can't use Bluetooth, there's a hardware issue with your Mac, so take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller

  • Bluetooth disconnects on macbook pro retina

    Hello all- Have a problem that's driving me crazy. I've got a Jambox bluetooth speaker as well as an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. Starting today, while playing music to the speaker, the bluetooth on the MBPr craps out for a few seconds. This happens every 2-3 minutes. Pretty irritating. Any ideas what's going? Never had a problem before today? Do youy think the Bluetooth chip might be going bad?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Hey Christopher Allbritton,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Bluetooth on your MacBook Pro. The following resource may provide a solution. One step that stands out is resetting the PRAM/NVRAM:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

  • When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

    When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
    It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid?  But how can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
    It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
    However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
    This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
    I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
    I may just have to bring my own in.

  • When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.

    When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.  I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork.  I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue.  They were not familiar with the issue.

    Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
    Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
    Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
    Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

  • Stream audio from macbook pro to tv

    I'm using a MacBook Pro 8.2 and want to stream video to à Sony Bravia TV. I've connected them with à cable from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI port on the TV. I get the video images but no sound. Is there à way to do this or do I need à separate audio cable?

    There is great risk of confusion since I am seeing the words in Swedish and it is sometimes difficult to tell what the translation should be, but here goes:
    In the System Report there is only one topic with the word sound: "Sound (built-in)"
    Under that topic it says "Intel HD Sound" and I can choose a nummer of options, but only one for "Speakers" and it says "Connection: internal"
    There is also an option for "HDMI/DisplayPort" which says "Connection: screen" (or monitor)

  • AirPlay Audio Does Not Stream to ATV from MacBook Pro

    For some reason, AirPlay will occasionally strop streaming audio to the Apple TV, usually after sleep. This has been a problem from day one, and I expected an update to fix it, but it's still a problem.
    It goes like this:
    I select Apple TV from the menu bar
    The screen mirrors to the Apple TV
    I start playing a video, but the audio plays through the MacBook speakers
    I try to switch the audio via system prefs, but while it shows the Apple TV/AirPlay, but I am unable to select it.
    I then have to restart my Mac to get audio streaming over AirPlay
    So what's going on here?
    My MacBook is the mid-2011 13" model maxed out with 8GB RAM.
    Is it an Apple TV problem? Is it the MacBook Pro? Or is this a bug for AirPlay under mountain Lion?

    Hey Harry,
    I was able to get rid of the skipping with apple's help.  In my case it was the router... so I just disconnected the coaxial and power cable for like 1 min and plugged it back in and it started to work perfectly again.  The tech said that if it continued to be an issue I should get a new router from the ISP.  Hope this helps!  Let me know if you need any other info.
