Can I plug in my Amplifier using the 3.5mm jack without using a a preamp

Hello Everyone
OK so I am using a PC at the moment. but I am thinking of transitioning to Mac.
I been looking around the Internet and have seen people commenting on the fact that you may need a pre-amp to connect certain appliances (more than just headphones) I am looking at the Mac Book Pro 15" but without the Retina display. I have an amp, it's not new, a little out dated but works like a charm and I got some decent speaker to go with it. I listen to a lot of music, the way I got it plugged in is through a RCA cable to a 3.5mm jack which goes into my laptop and it works fine.
I was wondering if I can literally do the same on a Mac Book Pro 15" just plug it in and no problem without the need for a pre-amp because the connection is too weak to pick up the amp.
This may sound silly but that's about the only thing that is stopping me going into a store and getting one, I looked around the Internet and it's just loads of sites about ladies and gents trying to plug their guitars in.
If anyone can help I would be grateful and thank you in advance.
if you need any more information then please let me know I would be happy to give as much as I can.

I would like to add that I have tried it my self and it does work no problem. Hope this helps anyone who has had the same issue.

Can anyone guide me how to create the databse with or without using the GUI

I need to create the Database from SQL prompt can any body tell me the links where i can find some sample scripts to do that....Thanks

Hi,
I would like to mention few stuffs too..
for manually.
1. startup nomount pfile=path of the pfile.
2. run the create datbase script.
3. run catalog.sql, catproc.sql script.
that was the brief idea,but you need to create your sample pfile,setting up your dir locations,setting envrmnts variables.
for gui envrmnts you have DBCA , use it and forget about all the cavtes.
thanks

I'm pretty sure different eMail addies are needed for different Apple IDs.

If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

"Current browser"? When viewing anything, or just when using an APEX app?
Ans .. Just when using apex app....even if the apex app is minimised ..The current browser will be the one where I am using apex app...
What i am looking for some scheduler .. to check ..in the table every 5 minute for change if there is a change..then a popup alert be shown...
Split it into [at least] 2 components, database and browser. I'd expect someone calling themself a "DBA Architect" to have some ideas about the database side of things, even if not clued up on JavaScript and AJAX?
I dont think its a database isssue... When i say to check every 5 minutes ..it could be easily done via dbms_scheduler ...I am having issue in getting the popup alert message...
in apex... Dont know wether there is a plugin like modal window(available from skill builder) which shall help in this scenario,.Or might be have to use java scripting and ajax ..
and if it is that (Java scripting and Ajax) .....then shall have to be familiar with java scripting and Ajax...and this shall be a bit time consuming..
Had a feeling this could be accomplished via java scripting and ajax.. ...but still looking for some easy way..

How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file?

How can we send only one message to a WCF service at a time? How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file? Can we do it by Host throttling?

Hi Pawan,
You need to use WCF-Custom adapter and add the ServiceThrottlingBehavior service behavior to a WCF-Custom Locations.
ServiceThrottlingBehavior.MaxConcurrentCalls - Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across a ServiceHost. The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively
processing across a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until WCF begins to process it.

I hope this helps.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.
Here is the link;

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

HT4101 My iPad is tellin me I can not use the camera connector because it uses too much power..... ***

My iPad is tellin me I can not use the camera connector because it uses too much power..... ***

I'm having same problems. If I connect my blackberry it says it uses too much power. If I take sd card out of phone and connect that way I get the same message. The leaflet with the connector says go to Apple.com/support/iPad to find list of compatible cameras.......... I'm still trawling the site to find any such list! Just need to know if it will work with a blackberry ..... If not I've got to take it back. Have been advised by a friend to cut my losses get my money back and use Bump to transfer my pics. I don't own a traditional camera because my phone has a great one. Really don't want to have to carry a camera about with me! They don't make it easy do they!

I can't get my iphone5 to sync the calendar to my mac using iCloud/push?

i can't get my iphone5 to sync the calendar to my mac using iCloud/push? my contacts list syced and reminders but not the calendar. help plz.

All okay in Settings and Preferences of iCloud and Calendar on either side, iPhone and Mac? Please double-check, often it's only one checkmark or "on" button missing, or an Apple ID not logged in...
If okay, go to www.icloud.com and see if the events are in there. That would help narrowing the search.

Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.
