Where can I find an earphone splitter for my macbook pro

My wife and I like to watch movies on my Macbook Pro on flights and have previously been able to do so by using our Apple earbuds through an audio splitter connected to the audio port of our Macbook, that is until I lost the splitter. Now I cannot seem to find one  that will work. I believe that it may be because the audio port needs 4 instead of 3 connectors on the pin. Ours is a Macbook Pro 13" from late 2011.

I use Sennheiser ear phones and they came with a splitter with this exact pin configuration:
I just tested it on my 2011 MBP and it WORKS.
I do not think that this is what is required:

I suggest that you try your earphones on your MBP and if they work, get a splitter with the same pin configuration.  I think that the clerks advice is suspect.
Ciao.

  • Where can I find a downloadable benchmark for the MacBook Pro?

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro and a 2006 Mac Pro. I am thinking of dumping the Mac Pro and make my MacBook my one and only computer. I want to run a benchmark on each system to see what I am trading off with this plan. Where can I find a downloadable benchmark for a Mac running OS X?

  • Where can I find a keyboard map for a macbook pro

    I am new to Mac and have some problems with the names of some keys and the meaning of some of the "unusual" symbols on them. Where can I find an "idiot guide" and such information as where are the Home & Delete keys?

  • Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

  • TS1702 Where can I find the serial number for my Logic Pro I just bought?

    Where do I find the serial number for Logic I just bought

    If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, there is no serial number I'm aware of. It's tied to your Apple ID rather than having a serial number or other key code.

  • Where can I download Apple Hardware Diagnostics for my MacBook Pro ?

    I have a problem of Mac freezing with an alarm sound forcing me to shut down, and someone suggests that I run an Apple Hardware Test. But I have no such CD. Do you know wether such an application can be downloaded for a MacBook Pro (Mac Os X Lion) ?
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Thank you very much !
    I was surprised not to have a CD for AHT. But if it is already included in the MacBook, it's fine.

  • Where can I get the Boot Disk for my macbook pro? Downloading OSX Lion is taking too long

    I got a macbook pro that was owned by someone for a few days before. I tried to restore to factory setting but now downloading OSX Lion is taking forever with my internet connection. Can anyone help me find a boot Disk to speed up the process?

    Apple no longer sells a Lion installation USB flash drive (they did at one time). SO you'll just have to wait for the download to complete. It's best to 'hard-wire' the download - not over wifi but with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your router. That will gain you some speed.
    You could also try taking your MBP to a friend's home where they may have a faster Internet service. My download speed is 22+Mbps with my cable company - you may have a friend or neighbor who has something similar? Of course, you are always at the mercy of Apple's servers - sometimes they're just overloaded and a download that should take 20 minutes can take up to an hour and one-half.
    Good luck,

  • Where can i find the TRACKING NUMBER on my macbook pro?

    before i bought my mbp, i was told that i should write down its tracking number in case it got stolen. where do i find it?

    Hi there - are you sure they (whoever that is) asked you to keep track of the Tracking number? Do you think they meant the Serial Number?
    You can find the serial number of your MBP by clicking on the apple icon at the top of your menu bar, and go to About this Mac, then you can click on more information, which will give you the serial number of your macbook pro.
    PS - in terms of safeguards for stolen macs, you might want to do a search on the forum discussion related to this issue (stolen or lost) . . .

  • Where do I find the serial number for my macbook pro

    My computer told me I was infected with 6 bad viruses.  An apple mac protection package wants me to sign up to get rid of these viruses.  The mac protection package is asking me for a serial number for my mac. I give it the serial number listed in my apple information but it says it is the wrong serial number.  Where can I get the serial number so mac protection can clean up my macbook pro??????

    It sounds like what you're seeing is a malicious pop-up on the web. Do you have anti-virus software of some kind installed? If not, note that that's the only thing that can scan your computer for malware. A web site cannot do that, but it's trivial to display a pop-up in your web browser that looks very official, telling you viruses have been found and that you need to install their software to remove them. That's a classic malware trick... the software the pop-up wants you to install is the malware.
    Can you provide a screenshot of the window warning you that you have malware? Press command-shift-4, then the space bar, then click the window. The screenshot will be placed in a file on your desktop. Add it to a post here using the camera icon in the post editor's toolbar. (Don't drag it into the post or copy and paste it... that will appear to work for you, but we won't be able to see it.)

  • Where can i buy a replacement trackpad for my macbook pro with retina display

    recently the new force touch trackpad is out and I'm really excited about it and sometimes my multi-touch trackpad is a little glitchy so I'm wondering is there any place to buy a replacement trackpad for my macbook like multi-touch or force click trackpad replacement

    My guess is they wouldn't introduce new production line just for the 1 or two milimeter difference. They will probably just change their marketing material and websites to add Retina as compatible. Then again I'm not a manufacturer.
    In reality though, apart from hard-shell cases/sheilds that have to attach directly on the laptop, the cases and sleeves are already compatible.

  • Where can I get a case specifically for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I really want to get a case/sleeve that really fits my MacBook Pro with Retina Display; however, everywhere I look only has cases for the regular 15" MacBook Pro. I want something that has a tight fit on my Retina. Any ideas?
