IMac's and line in recordings to iMac/through iMic

I'm hoping to be getting an iMac soon, and I'm wonderng if anyone has used an iMic to do any recording into there iMac.
I noticed looking at the spec for iMac, that it does have a audio in, but is it line in, or would have I have to use the iMic I have.
If anyone has recorded through an iMic, has anyone had a hissing noise added to the background.
Sorry if this quesiton has already been asked, but I couldn't see anything.

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon. It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN. Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens. Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900). This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock. You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
Hope this helps; worked for me.

How do I make screen brighter and the sound quality better with W8 OS on my iMac through bootcamp assistant like it is with my mac os ?

How do I fix my screen brightness on my imac via W8 OS on my Imac through boot camp assistant and How do I fix the quality of the sound coming from my imac when in w8?

Alright, first off, thank you for your help so far. I really appreciate it. However, now I have a new problem that I need help with.
I did exactly what you've said to do, and it worked fine, the screen itself became brighter again, it was just too dim before and the brightness settings were all the way up, but after doing what you said to do, It's as it is when using my Apple/Mac OS. The sound coming from the computer speakers and all the other audio issues have been fixed as well. It all sounds like it should in terms of quality. It's just now that I did that, I'll shutdown my computer, or even restart it for some reason, and each and every single time I do that, It's all back to the way it was before installing anything, dim and poor audio quality. Until I install the drivers again like before.
Am I going to have to get used to that or something? Or is there an option I'm just not seeing that would make these preferences and instalations permanent until I input/imply otherwise??
Thanks in advance!!

White dots and lines are flickering through my iPad Air's screen and sometimes I have to hard reboot to get the screen to work...ideas?

I just got this iPad Air (32 GB wi-fi only) brand new from an Apple store on Saturday, so it's definitely not an issue of wear and tear. Basically, it looks like my iPad has bad TV reception, there's snow everywhere and lines running up and down the screen occasionally. It's not immediately noticeable, but once you do notice it you realize that it's on the entire screen. I managed to make it go away once by rebooting it which I found odd. I noticed this last night. Today, it was working fine when I woke up but a few hours later the screen wouldn't turn on. I could use Siri still so I knew the iPad was on and funtional, but I couldn't see anything. I managed to finally get it to work by hard rebooting it (Hold down top button + home) and it came alive again, but still has the snow. I rebooted it again and it didn't go away this time. Has anyone ever heard of this and if so is there anything I can do short of taking it into a store to get it replaced? It's obviously still under warrenty and I took Apple Care on it, so I'm not frantic about this, but if there's a DIY fix out there that would be great.

I don't have AppleCare and my computer is no longer under warranty, so if I have to take it in, how much do you think it will cost me?
If the machine matches your profile, Mac OS X (10.7.4), iMac 27', 2012 model, refurbished, then it should be covered under the first year of use. Contact Apple's Express Lane and verify. If it is, then after getting it fixed, purchase AppleCare—the cheapest insurance policy available for Macs.

Is there any other ways?
I have Imac, Ipod touch, Iphone 4 but do not have ipad2 and 4S.

How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?

How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?
I know the basic steps, but all I get is pairing unsuccessful. I'm using an older bluetooth, would that make a difference? I got connected once with a Motorola bluetooth, but can't reconnect. TIA!

Can I put ALL the sound output from my iMac through Airport?

Just got Airport Express, and managed to install it very quickly on my existing Belkin network. Just don't forget the $ before your WEP key.
Does anyone know if its possible to put ALL the sound output from my iMac through to Airport, rather than just iTunes? So internet radio, streaming videos etc?

Thanks matey - that's just what I was after.
Not sure if that will also let me put my iMac's system sounds through my HiFi - probably not - but then who in their right mind could possibly want to...?
(Be nice if you could though)

How do I fax from my Intel-based iMac through a shared network fax?

The Intel-based iMac no longer has a built-in modem, so sending a fax from it is impossible. However, I set up fax sharing on my older (wiser and more mature) iMac, through a shared computer. The problem is that when I go to fax from my Intel-based iMac, it tells me that it cannot find a modem. I don't understand why it won't simply go through the shared fax on the network. I realize that it doesn't have an internal modem. That is why I am telling it to go through the network fax/printer that I set up. It won't listen. Kids!
As it stands, If I want to fax an InDesign document, for example, I have to export it to a pdf and move it (via the network) to the older iMac. This is time consuming and cumbersome. But, if the new iMac is incapable of performing properly over the network, what other choices are there?
If anyone knows of a way to fix this, I'd appreciate knowing. I am looking for the most efficient, time-saving way. Going online to find a faxing service, free or not, is not an option as that is just adding more steps.
Thanks very much.

I have been faxing from my Leopard machine through the shared internal fax modem on a Tiger machine across the room ever since I bought it and it worked fine. Until now. Apparently the 10.5.7 upgrade broke something, because it no longer works. I get this error message:
"A really really real fax number was not provided"
and then the document is deleted from the queue. I tried resetting the print system, as suggested elsewhere, but that still doesn't work.

Get the control of an iMac through internet

Hello,
I want to get the control of an iMac through internet.
What is the solution ? Perhaps with Messages ? Configuration ?
Thank you

Hi,
iChat and Messages 7 in Mountain Lion could do this as the remote end could be set to automatically accept a video invite.
The basic Auto Accept (Apple)script for this does have words to exclude Screen Sharing from this (but you could edit those out and save the edit and new Script).
In Messages 8 in Mavericks you no longer have access to the abilities to Auto Accept the Video and Audio invites as Apple removed the Alerts preference pane in the Messages Preferences.
This means that auto Accept can only be linked to the Messages Received option in the General Section of the app's Preferences.
There is a App within the Mac OS that can use the Apple Remote Desktop client engine that all Macs have.
This is the bit in the System Preferences > Sharing that can be set for Screen Sharing.
You then use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Server and start with VNC://xxx.xxx.x.x
This is simple on your Mac the other computers on your LAN as they all start with IP addresses behind your router.
If the Finder is showing Shares then the option button that says Screen Share also invokes this method.
You can use it over the internet.
The VNC address then has to be the contact's Public IP address and their router set up to forward the data to their computer on their LAN.
This is where apps like TeamViewer come into their own.

S_ALR_87012247 - Customer Balances and Line Items in Local Currency

Hi All,
This report S_ALR_87012247 - Customer Balances and Line Items in Local Currency is not displaying line items for customers in ECC6. Is there any configuration required to get the line items? Please help
Thanks
Sridevi

If you see this report S_ALR_87009950, you will get
Opening Balance at the start of fiscal year
Debits and Credit during the reporting period
and the Cumulative Balance.
Please note the above report will not give you line item details.
S_ALR_87012247 report is specifically for poland, in the description it is mentioned that the line items will be displayed, unfortunately, for other countries, there are no line items visible. Therefore, you may explore the possibility of copying this report and changing the code in order to bring the line items along with the totals.

Gr Ir Assignment Updation with PO and Line Item

In the GL for GR IR Account the sort key was not maintained with PO number due to which the assigment field in the line item was getting updated with the posting date and not with the PO & LIne Item details.
We have made the requiste changes and new items are getting updated properly.
But require assitance in updating the earlier line items.
As of date total line items are more than 0.15 mn.
Please suggest some method to automatically update the assigment field of the GR IR Line items with the PO Details.
Regards
Mukesh

Hi,
You can use a substitution to update the field through FI. Use GGB4 for wirting a substitution you may need some ABAP coding to substitute PO no and line items in the assignment field. rule would be Co code =XXX and GL account =xxx and Posting date earlier than =xxxx then concatenrate EBELN and EBELP in Assigment field Zounr.
Then execute FBL3N and edit the assignment field by selecting all the documents and then save it you should see the PO line items populated. You can leave the substitution on or you can remove it after updating,
