Can this speaker be connected to an Apple laptop?

Yes, but it would be very unsatisfactory. This speaker is designed to be used in a system that has power amplifiers and can handle 100+ watts of power. The audio output of any laptop, Apple included,is intended for headphones or a speaker that includes a built-in amplifier.

Dear Bernhard,Thanks for your inquiry. You can use a USB cable to stream if you are connecting to an Apple computer or laptop. If it is not Apple, you have the option of connecting through the headphone/speaker output jack of your laptop directly into an amplifier, or using the Bluetooth feature in your laptop and sending the audio signal wirelessly into a Wireless /Bluetooth DAC. Let me know if I can help answer any additional questions!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I have never used MacBook. However as long as I searched with Google, it seems you can connect the speakers to the audio (headphones) output. You should try to search by yourself too.

I did not get a chance to test that since it was incompatible with my mac. However, it is able to accept usb drives. Anything Windows accepts will work on this speaker as everything is set up for that OS.

I don't know. I would suggest taking your laptop to a big box store and see if it works on a floor speaker. This is the second speaker I've had for my iPad, with no problems with either one.

I'm not familiar with Macs but here is a website article that seems to answer your question: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_can_i_pair_connect_bluetooth_speakers_mac_macbook/

I imagine so. I work on a MacBook and run OS 10.6.8. The speakers require both the standard USB port and the headphone port to operate. They have amazing sound quality for the price. I'm very pleased with them.

Sorry, but no. The speakers get their power from a powered USB port on the connected device. There's two cables that come from the speakers - one is a USB connector that plugs into the PC or Mac for power and the other is an audio connector that plugs into the headphone jack of the PC or Mac. I bought these speakers to connect to a used Mac that had no audio to the speakers (but still had headphone audio) and they work great. Unlike the iPad Mini, the Mac has a powered USB port. I suppose you could try connecting the USB connector of the speakers to a USB charging plug, but I don't know if that will work and that seems inconvenient for a mobile device like the iPad Mini.

As long as the laptop has Bluetooth connectivity it should work fine. As an alternative the speaker has a wired connection that could be plugged into the headphone jack if Bluetooth didn't work

Nope, it can be connected to computer or laptop using normal USB port and a speaker port. Hope this helps.

You could technically use a 3.5" to Rca cable and take the signal from the headphone/audio out jack on the MacBook. This would not be ideal, but would be inexpensive. Best way would be to use a usb dac such as the schiit modi or a fiio d3.

By the way, any computer that has a usb port can be made bluetooth capable. My apple is so old that I can't update it past 10.4.11, but with a bluetooth usb adapter it works fine.Ted

Hi there, unfortunately you cannot use your Iphone with these speakers because it has a usb plug. It is only compatible with a laptop or pc.

It works with Apple iPad but the sound out can plug into any computer with the correct cords. But you will need an iPad to operate.

iPads connected to Pandora streamed to this speaker just fine. We keep iTunes downloads on our MacBook Pro, which has bluetooth, I would imagine it would work the same for the MBP.
