Streaming all sound from ipad to mac mini

Hi
I use several apps and sites on my ipad to look for and discover new music
Id like to find a way to stream all the sound from the ipad to my macmini, which is connected to my sound system
Is it possible and what do i need to do
Thanks

you can do it wired by connecting a minijack cable from the headset connector of the ipad to the mic/line in on the mac mini
or you can look for some software which makes the mac act as a bluetooth speaker setup (A2DP) and connect  the ipad to it

  • Send sound only from iPad to Mac mini via Airplay

    I just downloaded AirServer on my Mac mini thinking it would be great to send sound from my iPad to the Mac mini via Airplay.
    While the sound works fine, I still find that it would nice if only the sound would be sent to the Mac and the display remains on the iPad.
    My Mac mini is my music system (with no monitor), so I tought I could listen to videos from Youtube on my music system, but then the display needs to remain on the iPad.
    Is there any way I can achieve this?
    Thanks.
    Paul

    I found the setting in AirServer allowing me to stream Audio only. Now I just have to wait for the update to fix the audio delay issue I have.

  • I want to do output and input Surround Sound from my 2007 Mac Mini

    I thought I could output my Mac Mini audio with a Toslink OUT connection, but it turns out my Mini only has a Toslink IN connection- God knows why. I wanted to use the Toslink out to connect to a receiver, which I'd hoped would process my stereo mp3's into Surround using Pro Logic IIx or other codec. But it seems I have to use a regular Y-cable from my Mini's audio out to my receiver's analog RCA in, and hope it does the decoding. Could I then plug it back into the audio in and have the mp3s in surround that I could record? Also, instead of a simple Y-cable, I could use my USB iMic line-out/in (and mic IN by flipping a switch) to go out of the computer into the receiver, which should provide higher quality sound, and eventually plan on using an Apogee Duet audio interface/controller to output the sound to the receiver with even higher quality- BUT STILL, can I then plug the receiver into the Mini's toslink audio in and then have surround versions of my mp3s and other audio being entered back into the Mini. I used to have a M-Audio Sonica theater which I lost which had surround formats including DTS up to 7.1 Surround (but not PL IIx I don't think) and still have the software disc that came with it, but think it is useless without the Sonica Theater hardware and speakers with a hardware amp/decoder such as 5.1 hardware/speaker systems previously sold by Klipsch and Alesis. And I assume my receiver can do a better job implementing surround on stereo sources anyway, I just need to be sure it can be fed back into the Mini audio input for recording. Finally, if and when I get the Apogee Duet (2-in, 2-out line and mic interface/DAW controllerpreset to control GarageBand/Logic, but capable of controlling most all other music software with included software called Maestro), I only have one Firewire input, but also want a Firewire HD- is it true I can daisy-link devices together to control many Firewire devices from one input?) Thank you so much for any info that could assist me.

    If your mini is an Intel Core Duo 1.83 ghz model, it has optical audio out via a Toslink connector plugged into the audio output jack. You have to enable the optical output, and have a Toslink (optical audio) cable plugged in. Plug it all in then try setting your output with Audio MIDI Setup (in the Applications > Utilities folder).

  • Cannot upload all photos from ipad to mac ( iphoto )

    hi all. im in need of some help. i have just over 4,000 photos ( in the all photos album ) but just 1,335 in the all imported folder.
    when i connect my pad to my mac it will only seem to upload the 1,335 pics and the rest in all photos will just not import.
    has anyone had this same problem ?

    Yes
    All photos do NOT autmatically go to PS - only the ones you take on the IOS device - any other syou have to add to the PS -
    enable PS and on the Mac set to automatically import photos and on the iPad put the photos into it - it has a limit of 1000 so do it in batches and let them migrate and get imported before doing the next batch

  • Syncing contacts from ipad to mac mini

    I want to move or sync my contact book to my mac to it will sync to my Ipods and ipads can I do this without using the cloud?

    iCloud would be the easiest and most efficient way, not sure how else to do it. Maybe a 3rd party app can be found in the App Store to do this.

  • HT201335 why can't i get sound when I mirror from the latest mac mini?

    why can't i get sound when I mirror from the latest mac mini?

    if you have sound icon on your menu bar: press alt on your keyboard and click mouse on sound icon - check is the correct audio output is selected.
    If you do not have this icon: System preferences > Sound > Output and check audio output

  • I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining).  I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices.  Data storage is still same.

    I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each).  I do not store tunes or videos.  After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size.  Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen.  If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
    Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right?  Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device.  It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system.  So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups.  With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
    Can I expedite this?  Well of course you can.  If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now.  Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
    I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

  • HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
    Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
    1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
    2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
    3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
    4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
    Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

  • Transferences from ipad to mac

    How we can transfer music from IPAD to Mac without without using sincronization process.

    There are 3rd party solutions available that are not supported by Apple. You will have to search for information how to do this elsewhere. If you legally purchased the music from iTunes you can contact Apple and they may assist you in redownloading your music depending on the circumstances.
    I strongly recommend that if your music is obtained from outside the iTunes store that you purchase iTunes match for $24.99 a year as this will ensure a copy of all your music is always available for download from Apple through iCloud.

  • How to recover lost files from ipad on mac

    Firstly, you can rely on iCloud or iTunes to recovery iPad data, such as recover deleted text messages, photos, notes, restore iPhone contacts, after all, it is free. 
    1. Connect your iPad with iTune on computer 
    2. Right-click or control-click on the iPad icon under iDevice on iTunes 
    3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options 
    4. After it finishs, your contacts are back to your iPhone

  • Extracting DVD from seemingly dead mac mini

    Hi all,
    I have a PPC mac mini, which now seems to have gone dead (if that is the correct word). From what I can see of how the mini 'doesn't' work, and comparing with posts in this forum and on the net, it is a case of a damaged HDD. Thus the mini won't boot from the HDD; to circumvent that i used the OS DVD to boot from, but now even that too is not working and the mini won't start at all. (have also tried everything else-reset PRAM, etc). I have come to the stage where I just want to chuck the mini in the trash, but don't want to lose the OS DVD (i think it is the Tiger upgrade DVD that is in the drive). Since the mini won't start, can anyone advise how i can extract the DVD in this situation. On the other hand, if someone has an idea of how to get the mini working again, that would be excellent.
    (frankly, I don't really want to lose the mini, but don't seem to have any other option). I'm currently using a MacBook

    One thing you can try: plug in a USB mouse (a Bluetooth mouse won't work), hold down the left mouse button, and start up the system. Keep holding down the mouse button and with luck, after a minute or so, it will eject the disk.
    If that doesn't work, try this: restart the system and hold down the Command, Option, O and F keys and keep them down until you get the ">" prompt. If you can get to that prompt, type "eject CD" (without the quotation marks). If that will won't eject the disk, you'll have to get a technician to assist further.
    As to getting the mini working, I don't know. If it's a damaged hard drive, that may be suppressing the boot as the mini keeps trying to mount the drive. Pulling the drive out would be the next step; if that is indeed the problem, the mini should then be able to boot from a CD. If so, you could then replace the hard drive. You can find a 2.5" PATA drive for under $50.00 US (and probably cheaper) if you shop around.
    Hope this helps.

  • Compatible external sound card needed for mac mini...

    I need an external sound card for a mac mini.  does anyone know which ones are compatible?

    My experience is with consumer-level devices, not "pro" gear.  If I'm understanding correctly, you want to use the built-in sound output jack on the Mac mini with headphones, to monitor ("preview music"), while you use USB to output sound to a "mixer board."
    I used a USB device a while back called PowerWave (from Griffin Tech).  I could output sound to it, and it acted as an amp to power standard "living room" (not self-powered) speakers.  It also had a mini-stereo jack on it, like the one on Mac mini, which could be used with headphones at the same time (I put a self-powered subwoofer on that output).  And it also had sound input.  It was very cool.
    I also used a FireWire device called FireWave (also from Griffin Tech).  But that was more of a way to add 5.1 surround sound output to a Mac.
    There is a current USB device from Griffin Tech called iMic. 
    http://store.griffintechnology.com/desktop/imic (says "out of stock")
    http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-7725-IUAI-iMic-Audio-Interface/dp/B003Y5D776/ref=s r_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339226388&sr=8-2
    It's sort of a cheaper version of that old PowerWave, with a more limited set of features (no amp).  It does provide audio output (and input) from a USB port, and it's relatively inexpensive.  But, I'm not sure if you can send sound output to TWO devices at the same time, using standard system settings (if that's important for what you're doing).
    I also found out about this recently

  • ITunes u doesnt sync from ipad to mac

    HI,
    itunes U doesn't sync from ipad to mac, it works from mac to ipad.
    I've all the software updated.
    if i subscribe a course in the ipad a can't see it in my mac after sync, if i subscribe on the mac i find the course in the ipad.
    how i fix it?
    thanks
    Gabriele

    I have exact same problem that will not resolve with all troubleshooting. Only downloaded content on device will sync; subscriptions without downloaded content on the iOS device will not appear on desktop iTunes at all after full sync of iTunes U.   Have sent a bug report to Apple and will hope that they fix the bug in the next release!  In solidarity.

    How to stream photo's from Ipad 2 to Apple TV 1. The Apple TV don't recognize I-pad

    You can't.
    AppleTV 1 does not support Airplay only Airtunes for audio.
    There will be no upgrade.  It's Apple's way - they want you to upgrade to newer hardware all the time.

  • I had a mac mini on snow leopard but it broke.I now have a macbook pro on leopard how do I upgrade using the disks from my old mac mini

    can I use the osx disks from my old mac mini to upgrade my macbook pro so i can then get a further free upgrade

    You can not use a DVD that shipped with one Mac to load on to another. To upgrade to Snow Leopard you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD.
