Audio link from mini mac to itouch

I have an 2nd generation itouch. I would like to use it as a recording device by using the 3.5 jack connection to a mini mac. The only thing I know of that works is the iphone head phones with mic. I am looking for a 3.5 to 3.5 audio instead of the head phone with mic.

Disregard this question since I no longer have this unit.

    Then restore from you Mac laptop's backup, if you have not been backing up then you may be in for a very painful lesson on why backing up is the VERY FIRST thing you should do with any new Mac. Create a backup plan and use it on a regular basis. If the laptop was using 10.5.x or later then you have absolutely no excuse for not backing up. Sorry for being terse and blunt but Time Machine has been built into 10.5.x, 10.6.x and 10.7.x so we have had years to have a seamless and mindless method of backing up. If you have been using an earlier verision of OS X there are quite a number of methods of backing up.
    If you aren't successful then take the laptop and iMac to your local Apple Store or AASP and they may be able to help you recover your contacts. 

  • Poor movie/video playback from mini Mac (2010) to 50 " lg LCD tv

    Hi I just got my new mini Mac 2010 release and have it set up running through my 50 inch full 1080p LCD LG tv.
    It's running through a Belkin hd cable from mini Mac to the tv and get great quality from picture desktop on 1080p setting on the Mac.
    However when ever I watch a DVD,movie from iTunes through front row the quality is terrible and get "blocky" picture in dark parts of the movie.
    I love my new Mac but this is driving me crazy I have tried calibration and changing the settings on my tv.
    Please any help with getting better quality playback from movies on my Mac as the picture is worse than an old vcr

    Welcome to  Discussions!
    Have you tried using DVD Player instead of Front Row to play the DVD?
    I do hope you realize that a DVD is not HD quality. Because DVDs are lower resolution than your TV, when you play them full screen on your TV without an upscaling player they are not going to look as good as they did on your standard definition (SD) TV.

    3) How do I add more mailboxes to my email to file emails..???
    All assistance geatly appreciated...ty

    No you can sync them over a local network or USB cable, you just can't do so by iCloud.
    The other option would be to sync your mobile devices with iCloud and use the contacts feature at iCloud.com rather than the Address Book when using the computer.

  • Losing Digital Audio Ouput from Mini SPDIF

    I have a 2010 Mac Mini connected to my HDTV/AV Receiver. I send digital audio to the av receiver with an optical cable. I have sleep disabled for OTA DVR. I have not tried to see if it will wake the mini to record.
    I have it working, but often upon using the mini the next day, the device changes away from the Digital Out to the Soundflower 2 channel output device. This virtual output is used by one of the rogueamoeba applications to catch audio streams.
    At night the AV receiver is turned off, so the mini may think the digital output has failed and does some sort of failover to the next device.
    Any ideas?
    Ebola.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You need to start your own discussion concerning your issue. You are committing an infraction, it is called a threadjack. Digital audio from a Mac's audio outport is a very different issue from digital audio over USB.

  • Transfering From Mini Mac to Imac

    Hi All - Happy New Year
    I have recntly upgraded from a mini to imac G5 - I transfered the files as suggested using the set up software and a firewire cable which was a success. Only problem when I start my pc I have two finder windows open - one for the imac and one for the mini mac - how can I get rid of the mini mac screen.
    Many thanks

    Or you could use Titanium Software's freeware OnyX (choose your download carefully, according to the Mac OS X version you have installed). Does a whole lot for freeware!
    You can also use Cocktail (shareware), Cache Out X 4.6.1 (donationware) or Northern Softworks' Tiger Cache Cleaner (shareware).

  • Setup LWSelect 360 to print from mini mac ethernet socket

    I would like to run my 360 direct from the mini mac ethernet socket but I don't know how this is done.
    My cable modem is connected to Airport which is plugged into the wall socket. My HP1018 USB is connected to the Airport. My HP 5740 USB is connected direct to the mini mac usb port.
    I have an Asante ethernet bridge.
    My Ethernet cable is not a cross-over cable.
    From cold I turn printer on, and then minimac on. I then turn Asante on. LI light stays on, PWR light stays on, RX and TX flash for a few seconds then remain off.
    I then go to:
    System preferences>Print&Fax>"add a printer" button
    This brings up
    Printer Browser> but no printer is found.
    System preferences>Network>Location:Automatic;Show:Network Staus
    Green light Airport. You are connected to the network Luton. You are connected to the internet via Airport.

    Red light Built-in Ethernet. The cable for Built-in Ethernet is connected, but your computer does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet.
    It will need an IP Address, and if you are not using Ethernet to connect to the Internet via a Router, you will need to provide one Manually or change your wiring scheme (see below). Choose an address similar to the Airport IP address assigned to your computer by your Airport Base Station/Router, but a bit higher, e.g, Airport is assigned 10.10.10.3 via DHCP. Use a similar number but somewhat higher, but less than 254 such as 10.10.10.101. Use a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 (which says anything the same in the first three octets is on my Subnet and can be reached directly). The rest can be blank, or you can fill in the DNS info provided by your ISP.
    Also, important -- you must turn on AppleTalk on your Ethernet port (using the AppleTalk pane), which will turn it off over Airport.
    Last step is to cycle the power on your AsanteTalk, since it is horrible at re-acquiring printer/Macs that drop out for any reason.
    Now try to set up your printer again. Remember the LaserWriter Select 360 is an AppleTalk Printer, do not allow it to configure as an LPR Printer.
    Alternate wiring:
    Another alternative is to connect the AsanteTalk to a wired Ethernet port on your Base Station, if one is available. Then it can get an IP Address from the Base Station directly. Some third-party base station of lesser-known brands do not pass AppleTalk packets over wireless, so this is occasionally a problem.

  • Can't transfer files from mini mac (10.4) to new imac

    While setting up my father's new imac, the imac suggested selecting send files "to your new computer" ,or something to that effect, from the Migration Assistant in the mini. The only options on the mini were to transfer files from another computer to the mini. The mini is running system 10.4.11
    Do I need to upgrade to system 10.5 before I can transfer the files?

    I have a dsic for 10.5; do you think it will help if I install it? How else can I update Migration assistant?
    I do not have access to a Mac with 10.4 on it to test this. However, It certainly would not hurt to upgrade the OS, and it might help.
    Good luck.

  • (audio) Mirroring from Mini to Apple TV

    Why am I losing audio when mirroring to my apple TV from my computer?
    I can get a great image on both, but drop sound on my desktop as soon as I connect and can't even pull up audio on the TV. Then when I switch to multiple in iTunes, I drop mirroring.
    I would prfer to keep audio at the desktop.
    Thanks!

    Apple TV only supports Airplay Mirroring with 2 iOS devices: iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
    Unfortunately the iMac is not supported

  • HT201317 iphoto won't stream to icloud account from mini mac

    I have a mac mini, I'm running Safari 10.6.8 and I can't get it to update to 10.7.3.  Does this mean I can't have my iphoto stream with icloud?  Do I need to purchase Lion OS to make it all work?  Help please.

    Yes, you need to be running OS X Lion(10.7.2 or better), in order to use iCloud and hence photo stream.

  • Ways to output 5.1 audio to an OPPO 105 from the Mac

    I'm downloading high resolution music which is sometimes in a 5.1 surround format.  Once the music is downloaded to the Mac (mid 2011) I want to send it to my OPPO blu ray machine because it has excellent DACs.  The OPPO essentially takes the digital output of the computer and translates it for the rest of the analog music chain.  The least amount of processing of the signals is preferable so I'm looking at options for how to get the digital audio files from the Mac to the OPPO.  Thanks.

    So far what have you tested for 5. output?
    From what I tried to check, this two Knowledge Base articles relates closely to what you are encountering.

    Pardon me if it doesn't work, because I don't have a Platinium dri've myself so I'm not sure of the software settings and stuff. But here goes.
    If you said you are able to hear sound from your Home Theatre System, that I suppose the settings to output through Optical Output is successful. You should then turn OFF AC3/DTS Decode, if I'm not mistaken, you should enable AC3/DTS passthrough option instead, so the signal will be decoded with your HTS.
    Also, speaker tests won't work from Creative's mixer settings as PCM signals will only output stereo.
    Alright, I've tried to help. To summarise
    . Set to Optical Output
    2. Set to AC3/DTS Passthrough
    I hope it works.

  • Air Port Express/ Mini Mac problems

    Trying to link my Mini Mac to an iMac - both old.
    iMac is successfully running 10.4.3 with Airport Extreme working.
    Mini Mac (old) - no airport card - hooked up to AirPort Express with ethernet cable.
    Mini Mac/ Airport Express seem unable to connect to Airport Extreme.
    Located about 50 feet away from each other.
    Any suggestions? Would it be better to connect the Airport Express to the Mini Mac with a USB cable?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    First you need to configure your AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express so that the two AirPort units for a "WDS" network. You can find instructions starting on page 42 of this manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf
    Any suggestions? Would it be better to connect the Airport Express to the Mini Mac with a USB cable?
    That won't work. The AirPort Express USB port is only for a printer.

  • I want to link my Mac Mini through my independent hifi system, which forms part of my home tv system which is the monitor I am using with the Mac Mini. The hdmi cable I am using comes from the receiver of the tv. I cannot get sound from the Mac Mini. Do

    I cannot link my new MacMini with my TV's sound system. It's a Pioneer screen & receiver with an independent Pioneer Amp. The Mac Mini does not pick up the sound through the hdmi cable, so how do I get sound going through the MacMini so I can appreciate the music and films I want to hear. Do I need another piece of Apple kit? I have seen 'Express' on Apples web site. Surely I dont have to pay for this as well?
    I used to have an Apple TV box which had a seperate audio connection from my Pioneer Amp and it worked great.
    Help will be appreciated

    The Mac Mini is going to be used for an Internet connection on the Pioneer Plasma/receiver so I can also play stored films from a seperate hard drive. The receiver has an HDMI connection which I have connected the Mac Mini too. the picture is fine, but there is no sound. I have checked the 'sound' settings on the Mac Mini and it registers the Pioneer PDP receiver is connected but states it has no audible connection?

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

  • I have no audio from the mac mini to the hdtv via hdmi cable.

    This started immediately after the latest "apple software update"  I updated it automatically on 6/24/2011.  I have an elgato eye tv connected to the mac mini that provides BOTH audio and video through the HDMI to the HDTV.  The elgato eye tv works fine.  I get both audio and video. 
    However, I only get picture and NO sound from the mac mini to the HDTV via the HDMI output.  No streaming audio either - only picture. Ive tried pandora, netflix, hulu, etc.  I even put in a DVD into the mac mini and again I receive a picture through THE HDMI but no audio.
    I've shutdown and rebooted.  I've disconnected power and reconnected power.  I've gone into the system preferences, audo, and highlight the SONY HDTV as the output.  But still nothing.  I do notice when I toggle between the "internal speakers' and the HDMI option, the audio arrow on the lower right is bright blue during the internal speakers option but is grey when the HDMI option is connected. 
    I called apple care.  Since I'm 98 days past my 90 days of coverage there is no help via human being.  They offered me to set an appointment at the local apple store but they suggested I bring down my 60 inch HDTV with me to the store to be sure it is not a "Sony" issue.  I hope someone can help me resolve this without having to put this mac mini on craigslist and taking a $ hit.
    This was not an issue yesterday.  It became an issue after the latest and greatest "update" to prepare our machines for the lovely lion.
    Thanks.

    I have the same issue.  I also have the 2010 mac mine and use hdmi for audio to my receiver.  I get audio from eye tv with no problems, but it seems to lock the path so that only it can use that path for audio.  If I restart the computer and do not start eye tv everything else works with hdmi audio.  I have tried using the system settings and changing the source there but it doesnt seem to matter.
