Which MacBook Pro 13" model do you have?
The older models have a dual port: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) - Technical Specifications
Combined headphone/line in (supports digital output)
The newer models only have a headphone port: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) - Technical Specifications
Headphone port
If your Mac does not have the the combined headphone/line in port, use an input splitter (for example this 2x 3-Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - M/F http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SP0WAQ) or an audio interface; the most basic would be the iMic Recording with iMic in GarageBand

HI I have the early 2011 model not the retina display.
And have you tried to set the input up as described here?
MacBook and MacBook Pro (13-inch): How to use the combination audio port for an audio input device
The device needs to be plugged in with a mini-stereo plug and to be turned on, otherwise the mac will not recognise the port as an input port.
Thank you
i will try this at hom tonight
