Bluebird Microphone and Audiobox USB not working

I just got a MacBook Air for my music and already have a Bluebird microphone and a PreSonus Audiobox USB. These used to work together on my old laptop (not apple) and worked great, but when I got this laptop, the external microphone does not show up in System Preferences->Sound. It's just not showing up. I have tried everything, plugging everything in in different orders, using the other USB port, turning the phantom power on on my Audiobox, but absolutely nothing works. This was an expensive mic and Audiobox so they should be appearing in System preferences, but they're not. How do I fix this so I can record my music again?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Amazon listing says that's compatible with Mac 9.2 and higher. If it doesn't work, send it back. Maybe somebody else here can confirm that they have one that works, or recommend something similar which is working.

After downloading iOs 7 to my iPad 2 Skype application mic and video is not working? any advice?

I downloaded iOs 7 to my iPad 2 and updated Skype app. After this,m microphone and video are not working. My called party is not able hear me nor see me. Any guidance from the Community?
g.k.fromind

After updating IOS many people have the same problem that the mic no longer works and Apple say it is a hardware problem. Rubbish! Plug in an apple earphone and then try it. (Apple earphones have 4 sections on the jack plug, must be this type.) Mic works fine so obviously it is a problem in the new IOS and this is a way around it!
Hope this helps other people,

Bluetooth AND USB not working

Hi friends i'm facing 2 problems1. my bluetooth is not working properly, initially it wont show any blutooth icon when i start up, but after i restart it shows and start working, every time i need to repeat this to use bluetooth. kindly suggest me the solution.2. the usb ports (3.0 and2.0) both doesnt work properly, they only detect devices wen i go to device manager and scan for hardware devices.

I was also worried that bluetooth is not working. But eventually came to know that this model 15R203TX has bluetooth version 4.0 which is backward compatible to other bluetooth devices of version 2.0 to 2.1 EDR. Means if your hand set or any bluetooth device is having version 2.0 or 2.1 EDR it won't able to send any data or see this laptop model while transferring data. Moreover if you try to send data from laptop to other bluetooth device irrespective of version it is able to send data. Now it is Same with WiFi this model is backward compatible to IEEE 802.11 a/b/g. means you can't receive signals from this devices unless the router is having IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac. For USB not working may be its a BIOS issue. While boot up try to press F2 key. And enter the diagonistic blue page. There you can check the version of BIOS or try to reinstall the updated BIOS by downloading it from HP support. If USB still not woking then try to go to nearest authorised HP service centre.

I tried updating software on my iphone and it did not work. My handset has had the picture of the usb cable asking to connect to itunes for hours and i can not switch my phone off or reset it. Please help!

I tried updating iphone software and it did not work. It just shows connect to itunes with usb cable on the handset. I have tried for hours to try and turn the hanset off and troubleshoot but nothing works. The connect to itunes display can not be over-ridden.
Please help!!!

oh and the device is not being recognised by itunes now either.

I bought Hp 15 g207ax, 2 out of 3 usb not working, and all drivers missing, no ethernet or no wifi

i bought a new Hp 15 G207AX.
issue 1 - 2 out of 3 usb not working, 1 usb 3.0 and 1 usb2.0 not working. 1 usb 2.0 is working properly
question 1- is it because of faulty laptop or driver issue? also, if it is driver issue, then why 1 usb 2.0 is working?
issue 2 - All Drivers are missing.
question 2 - where can i find all the drivers?
issue 3 - no ethernet and no wifi connecting
question 3 - is there a driver for ethernet too? can you tell me what drivers i need to install for ethernet or wifi. because without those, i cant do anything?
looking for your immediate reply. as if in 1st question, if usb ports are defective and laptop is faulty, i will ask for a replacement or refund.

Likely all of these issues would be fixed with the chipset driver.
Did you look at the solutions listed in that other forum post I linked to above?

HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

"This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
Keep us posted.

I found this after posting here:

It appears that this is due to firmware corruption and you can fix it by using the micro USB cable and hooking it to iTunes. I have not tried it yet but supposedly several people were able to resolve their problem this way. If you do try it, let me know. I don't have the cable at this time.

I've received a message on my iphone 4s that it needs to be activated and it is not working

I have recieved a message on my iphone 4s that it needs to be activated. I have tried doing this multiple times with strong wifi connection and it is not working. I connected it to iTunes as my phone suggested and i still could not activate it. This is quite frustrating as this does not allow me to use my cell phone for anything and I need it for many things.

It would have saved to your camera roll. Connect the phone to your Air via a USB cable and then run Image Capture which is located either in your Utilities folder or Other folder, depending on what version of Mac OS X your are running. You will then see all the photos and videos stored on your iPhone and can then download them.

If you have a separate FTP client, you could use that (link: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.3/win32/en-US/ )
If you have email on the machine, have a friend email you the installer file.
Else you'd have to use an external storage device (USB drive, external hard disk or some such).

Microphone and camera translation not optional

I've added permissions for use of the camera and microphone, but the app wont let me select them. Any ideas as to why?

I used the Windows key with the "i" key from within the app to open the options menu on which I then selected permissions and made sure that the app had the relevent permissions for the microphone and camera. I also made sure that I had no other
programs open that were using the camera or mic. It's not that the microphone isn't working, the app won't let me select it.
I am using the app om a Windows 8.1 laptop and whilst I have little use for the camera translation the microphone translation would be rather useful. The microphone works fine with other Metro apps like Sound recorder and Skype and also in desktop apps.

Twist touch pad and track ball not working

Hello -
We have a Thinkpad Twist S230u with an intel i7 processor. The touchpad and trackball have not worked for quite some time (last 9 months or so) - my boss used this computer and just put up with it, using a wireless mouse. I am now trying to repair it for another staff members use.
So far, I have: Re-installed windows 8, then upgraded to Windows 8.1 pro and ran all updates. Updated the BIOS, uninstalled the synaptics UltraNav driver, then reinstalled the latest driver (run as administrator). I took the keyboard out and checked the connections to the laptop from the touchpad.
Anyone have any other thoughts??
TThanks so much!

Hello,
Have you tried booting from a Linux Live CD/DVD/USB drive? If it still does not work, then it is a hardware issue, not a software one.

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 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.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
