Can I connect RCA cables to my new 13" macbook pro?

I want to digitize some records, am told that usb from a turntable can give poor results.
Thanks.

OGELTHORPE seems you're right. Looks like Apple did remove that feature from the OS. Oh well another one bites the dust.
To the OP you'll get better results going in through USB anyway. So does the turntable have USB out? It's not clear from your first post.
If not look at something like iMic - USB Audio Interface - Griffin Technology good basic function.
For doing that actual recording I  like Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder, works well and you can't beat the price.
regards

  • How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

    I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
    I'll appreciate

    Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

  • I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

    Hi all,
    I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
    I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
    Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
    Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
    I've tried both methods, and neither work!
    Here's what happens for each method:
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
    After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
    I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
    I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
    I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did. 

  • I can't get any of my applications to open. I can't connect to my Wi fi and my MacBook Pro says it's not charging. It is 4 yrs old and I've taken it in for repairs 3 times this year. Also was told my cd rom packed it in. Is it possible I need a new one?

    Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(.  Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

  • Can I connect a Yamaha S90 keyboard to my macbook pro via USB to access Logic's MIDI capabilities?

    My Yamaha S90 keyboard has a USB connector.  I am guessing that it is only there for updating firmware, but I can't find any references.  What I would like to do is use the S90 as a MIDI input device to Logic on the Macbook Pro without having to connect through my AMT8.  I am having trouble finding the right drivers to get the AMT8 to talk to Logic on the Macbook Pro.  I have been using my old dual processor G5 for recording and sequencing and want to have more portability.  Any suggestions?

    Shouldn't be any need to use the AMT8, if the S90 has USB.
    I seriously DOUBT you will need drivers, either.
    Just create a new device in Audio Midi Setup, and the next time you open Logic, you should be good to go.
    Weird that the AMT8 doesn't seem to be working, but once again, use above info for setting up the AMT8 while in Audio Midi Preferences while you're at it, and then you have BOTH options.

  • Can't connect external monitor to Windows 7 bootcamp Macbook Pro 15 - ATI 6770

    I recently puchased a Macbook pro 15 in 2012.  I have bootcamp set up and am running windows 7 home on the bootcamp partition.  When in windows I am unable to use an external monitor or overhead projector.  I have updated all of the ATI drivers and have fiddled with screen resolutions and display refresh rates to no avail.  I am using a cheapo mini displayport to VGA adapter which I have confirmed works while I am using the mac side of the machine. 
    Unfortunately I have to use windows while at work and using a projector to display data is essential.
    I am out of ideas at this point --  Help - - Please!!

    I was hoping some of the multi/monitor people would show up and help you but I guess they missed it.
    Have you gone into the Properties of the video drivers (via the Device Manager) and let it Update Driver either through the internet or migrate to the newer Boot Camp video drivers you recently downloaded?
    The only other thing I can suggest is to completely delete the video drivers then reinstall them manually either through the Programs and Features control panel or in the Device Manager/ Video drivers and see if it "takes".
    Don't forget you do have an Apple Software Updater in Windows also. It updates the Windows support software from Apple. (Boot Camp)

  • How can i connect my IMessage into the Mountain Lion (MacBook Pro)

    I'm trying to enable receving my Imeesages in my MacBook Pro but I don't know how, Wish someone can help me.

    Open Messages from the applications folder, the Lauchpad, or your dock if it's setup there.  Go to Messages, Prefereces ..... and select accounts.  Your Apple ID should be already setup.  If it's not you can add it.  If you use more than one ID and it's the wrong one, you can delete the account from messages by going to Account Details and Sign Out.  Then, add the Apple ID you want to use.
    It appears that the syncing with iPhones is only working if you use your Apple ID email as the "Caller ID" on the iPhone and that the sync up with your phone number may not be happening until iOS 6 comes out this fall.  I'm not sure though.  I just know that mine isn't syncing with messages sent to my phone number and from other posts, it appears that other people are having the same issue.
    I hope that helps get you going.

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.
