XM Radio on Macbook

I just purchased a macbook (my first mac) and am wondering if it is possible to run XM radio on it?? I tried to download windows media player for mac OS and I couldn't, then I tried to download the windows component of quicktime and it said that I could not run that application on an intel based machine. Is there any way to listen to XM through my computer???
Thanks

i tried getting the free trial on xm.com thru my browser on my phone. it said that they hadnt come up with a version that works for the 8130 YET but idk if they every will

Large "Now Playing" Art for Radio on MacBook Pro?

On my iPad, iTunes radio goes right to a large "now playing-style" screen once a channel is selected, where it shows the art of the album playing, centered and large.
Can't seem to make this happen on my new MacBook Pro. Am I overlooking an easy preference or view setting?

After several more tests I’ve arrived at a solution.
There seems to be a random element in Boot Camp’s installation process that creates an IRQ resource conflict in Windows. The BSOD I was getting indicated that “IRQL not less than or equal to” and a BCM.sys file was responsible for the conflict. This file is related to the Broadcom Ethernet driver.
Reverting back to Boot Camp 2.1 actually made Counter Strike crash even sooner, but suggested to me that Boot Camp drivers were responsible. I performed a complete uninstall and reinstalled to Boot Camp 3.0. Hours of game play later and no crashes or BSOD.
If a complete uninstall and reinstall doesn’t fix it for you the first time, try it again. I think it just has to “randomly” assign the IRQ correctly. Manually assigning the IRQ probably won’t work as Windows apparently cannot detect the conflicts until it fails.
Direct X 10 is not responsible for the problem. I tested this by running CSS in 9.0c mode via an advanced start command and it still crashed. Oh, and I also discovered that Direct X 10 is integrated into Vista and cannot be uninstalled or rolled back.

Bluetooth Headphones to listen to Sirius Radio through MacBook Pro

I want to buy headphones so I can listen to Sirius through Safari wirelessly. Too much to ask?
Please let me know if there are headphones out there that will allow this.
I called Apple about 6 mos ago and they didn't help me much.
I REALLY WANT TO BUY A PAIR IF I ONLY KNEW WHICH ONES WOULD WORK!
I have the newest MacBook Pro with Leopard... Thanks!

I was having more or less the same problem. A few times I could hear the music from the computer, but every time I paused the music it was hard to get it working again.
This is what I did, and it seems to be working:
1) Delete the DS980 headset as bluetooth device.
2) Reset the headset following the instructions on the manual (1. On/Off key for 5 seconds and then 2. Press and hold the On/Off key and the call handling key simultaneously for 5 seconds.)
3) Pair the headset again with the computer, but this time I only selected the headphones service (and uncheck the headset service).
4) After that I click on the Bluetooth Status on the Menu Bar, and then go to HBH-DS980, and select "use headphones". (I think this is the important part, but before resetting the headset this didn't work all the times)
And now I can hear the music and other sounds from the computer. I hope this helps.
I think next time I may get the iSkin Cerulean F1 + TX.

Upgrade from 7.5.102 to 7.6.100

Hi –
We recently moved our wireless environment from local office 4400/5508's to a pair of AIR-CT7510-K9 FlexControllers in HA in our data center (current version 7.5.102)
Have a deployment mix of AP versions 1142, 3500, and 3600 access points
Since the migration we have been experiencing issues with random 1142's, which basically stop responding to clients. Only fix is to bounce the AP -
After a couple days of troubleshooting with Cisco TAC there thought is we are hitting this bug CSCui66891
The question / or advice – move to 7.6.100 are drop back to 7.4.121 ?
I do like some of the enhancements offered in 7.6 but I just know I need to get away from 7.5
Appreciate the time -

Hi Lee,
Here are the some critical bugs you should aware of. For the first bug if you disable WMM, you won't get any 802.11n data rates. All of these fixed on special engineering releases of 7.6.x. If you are not hitting those as of today then you are lucky. But best advise would be run an engineering release of 7.6.x if you are already hitting those.

7.6: Broadcom client connectivity problems if WMM enabled w/ ap3600
Symptom:
Wireless clients utilizing Broadcom chipsets may have trouble associating or may experience traffic hangs when associating to a Cisco Aironet 3600 Series AP running the 7.6.100.0 release.
Conditions:
This bug will only occur with the Cisco Aironet 3600 Series APs on Wireless LAN Controllers with 7.6.100.0 Software
and WMM Enabled
Workaround:
Disable WMM
Known Affected Releases:(2)
7.6(100.0)
7.6(1.13
Known Fixed Releases:(2)
7.6(100.7)
7.6(101.7)
CSCuj17283
ap3700 uses 8 replay counters w/ clients that support only 1 (ARP fails)
Symptom:
Macbook Air, Macbook with 802.11ac chipset see dropped packets and odd ARP behaviors when associated to the 5.0GHz radio of a Cisco 3700 Series access point with WPA2 security.
Conditions:
To reproduce, all of the following conditions must be met:
- Software: WLC code 7.6.100.0
- AP/Radio: Cisco 3700 Series AP only on 5.0GHz radio
- Clients: Macbook Air w/ 802.11ac, Macbook Pro w/ 802.11ac, and Intel 6300 v15.9.2.1
- Switches: Only reproducible with certain switches, such as Catalyst 6500 and Catalyst 3560-CG
Workaround:
Upgrade or downgrade the client driver software to a version that supports reception with multiple replay counters (which is standard).
Further Problem Description:
Virtually all WMM-capable 802.11 clients support receiving transmissions from the AP across 8 separate replay counters (where a separate replay counter is maintained for each QoS priority value). In an apparent recent change to the implementation for certain Macbook Air and Macbook Pro clients, the client now advertises receive support for only a single replay counter.
This is probably a client bug, since, even if the AP follows the client's request, it will cause packets to be dropped due to out-of-order sequence numbers anytime that EDCA priorities on an 802.11 chipset transmitter change the ordering of downstream packets. But, the effect is particularly severe due to a software bug affecting the 5.0GHz radio of the Cisco Aironet 3700 Series AP that causes it to ignore the clients request and still use a separate replay counter for each QoS priority -- resulting in severe packet drops and data stalls.

How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom. Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4. It is awesome!
Now, my other need (?). I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4. What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4. From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet. Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
One other thing to throw in for thought. I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana. In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac. So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro. If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4? I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

Hi Starbux48
First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave. For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.

I purchased a song from iTunes radio through Apple TV. The song does not show up on my iOS devices or my MacBook Pro?

I tried out the new iTunes Radio last night through my Apple TV. Even purchased a song. Can't find the song through any of my iOS devices or my MacBook Pro music library. What am I missing? It said that the song would be on my devices. Help?

Hi Dreanmachine1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you purchase a song on your Apple TV, it is available on all of your devices. There are a few reasons why you may not see the song on your iOS devices or your MacBook Pro. They may not be set up to download purchases automatically, or you may not have been signed into the iTunes Store.
I'd suggest trying to download the purchases on your other devices using the steps in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You may also want to check your automatic download settings, so you can receive future songs automatically. See this article for help:

All the best,

MacBook Air and problems with Time Capsule in 5GHz Radio Mode

We have our Time Capsule configured to 802.11n only (5 GHz). We've done this to work more efficiently in a particularly noisy wireless area. The problem is that the MacBook Air can't maintain a connection to it and when it loses the connection, the wireless interface seems to disappear from the Mac altogether - the wireless status indicator just shows an empty cone. The only solution is a restart. Sometimes it loses the connection after a couple of hours, sometimes within minutes, though it always goes eventually. All other machines on the network are fine, and switching the Time Capsule to 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) solves the problem, though there's a lot of noise at that frequency and our network performance as a whole suffers.
I know there's similar threads around dealing with the MBA and wireless issues (I've tried all the solutions vaguely related, e.g. deleting and recreating the wireless interface), though none that deal with this specific problem, which I'm convinced is caused by the radio mode of the Time Capsule.
All software / firmware is the latest:
MacBook Air 10.5.2 Wireless Card Firmware Veriosn Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.5)
Time Capsule Version 7.3.1
I was hoping the recent firmware updates would sort this... any one else running a Time Capsule in 5GHz mode with a MacBook Air?

I'm running my TC in 5ghz mode with my MBA. My original problem was the lack of signal strength coming from my AEBS caused the MBA to have a slow connection. There are a number of pipes in the wall that separates the two rooms where my MBA lives and the AEBS is.
So, I hard wired the TC to the AEBS and placed the TC in the room where my MBA lives most of the time. Now that the signal strength is really good I'm not having any issues.

How can I stream radio on my Macbook?

I have been trying for months to stream in my favourite radio stations. I have been totally unsuccessful.
Everything I search, as far as HELP is concerned, it always talks about movies.
An app called Radium worked for a few days and then started to get problems.
I often have to use my VPN for things as I am in China.
Quicktime works sometimes, but I can't work out when and when not, and only without the VPN.
Searching Quicktime help I get a lot of "add-ons" which explain when to use them, but I do not understand all their technical language.

On my macbook pro. Was notified to do an 'update', now there are absolutely no radio broadcasts which I accessed on my world travels. What happened to them on the download of the new iTunes???

Was sent a message to "update" iTunes on my MacBook pro... Did so and now there are no world-wide radio broadcasts on the pull down menu? What is that about? I travel a lot and use them regularly. Can I get the old iTunes back?

It would be best if you posted this issue on the iTunes forum where there are persons who are well versed with this application and may be able to assist you. Yours is not the only problem with the new iTunes.
If you have Time Machine or another backup prior to the download of the new iTunes, you should be able to resurrect the prior version.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way.

MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way. Now that you can't remove the battery, I don't know how to get it to quit, although it doesn't appear to be making any noise, so might have quit on it's own. Any ideas? Thanks!

I honestly don't remember what it came with though I do remember having two drives so long ago. Since then I've had to replace them with newer, faster ones, and just didn't really need a second drive. I don't copy cds, I just need something to read DVDS (which the current one doesn't seem to want to do) and occasionally burn something.
I bought the MacPro becuase I am a tireless multitasker, having super memory eating programs on at all times. Right now I am working in Photoshop while watching a movie, with two P2P programs open, two chat programs and surfing the internet, with two monitors active so I can see everything.. I can't imagine the average pc doing this wthout blowing up Mac Pros are the ultimate computer for those that like to do a lot at once.
The speed and memory capacity of the Mac Pro make it the best computer hands down to handle a mind that can't be satisfied with doing just one thing at a time!
And six years after buying it, it can still eat the average pc for breakfast How's that for great?

Macbook Pro recording sound from external radio

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how I can record an external digital radio with my Macbook Pro. As a backgrounder, I am able to do it on my old white Macbook because it has a line-in port, so I just connect a 3.5mm cable from the radio to the Macbook and then I have software (Audio Hijack Pro) to hijack and record it.
However, as we all know, the new Macbook Pros have done away with the line-in port. And the Sound options in System Preferences don't seem to have a function allowing me to fiddle with the headphone port (apparently, earlier models had a function in System Preference that allowed you to turn the headphone port into line-in) but this new model doesn't have that option anywhere.
So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether the USB ports or even Thunderbolt can RECEIVE sound from an external device such as a digital radio. I have seen cables that are 3.5mm to USB so I think getting the cable to connect the radio to the Mac is possible, but will it actually receive the sound or just do nothing? Or is there some other way I can record an external device I'm not thinking of, bearing in mind I don't want to use the Mac's microphone to do it, as I will of course get all other ambient sound in the room at the time, and I don't want to rely on an internet stream of said radio.
Thanks,
Joe

What if it was a digital radio, would that make things easier by way of using just a 3.5mm to USB cable? Especially because a quick search of a USB Audio Interface brought up some expensive results.
Also, as a possible alternative, after some extensive research online, I've found an iMic USB Audio Device by Griffin that is essentially an adaptor with a USB cable on one end and a Line In port on the other, thus allowing me to connect a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from the digital radio to the adapter, and then the adapter goes into the MBP USB port. It's on Amazon and it claims to function as a way to plug microphones and other external audio equipment to it. It seems pretty straightforward, which sometimes has me thinking it's too good to be true.
The output from your radio is analog, regardless of whether the radio is 'digital' or not.
You need a USB audio interface. The iMic is a USB audio interface.
