Can I use headphones with the two adapter plugs on a Mac Pro

I have headphones with two plugs.  I don't know where to plug them in. There are two portsin the back and before I open this package I need to know if those are the appropriate ports, since they are the only two side by side ports on the tower.  I have another set of headphones that have the two plugs, but upon trying them, there was no sound regardless of how i adjusted things in the 'sound' in system preferences.
Help with this is greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing that the headset has a microphone as well as earphones, yes? If so, there is no microphone input on your Mac Pro, only a line level input. So you can use the headphones portion as is, but the mic will require additional hardware.
The ports will be designated in the user guide for your model of Mac Pro:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macpro
but if you look at the various ports on the back of the MP carefully, you'll find one marked with a tiny "speaker" icon. That's the line-level output to which you can connect some headphones. The other port is a line-level input. If you want to use a microphone, you'll need either a line-level mic or an amplifier device of some sort. Griffin's iMic is a commonly-recommended converter.

  • HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

    I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
    No internet connection is available at the location.
    Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
    I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
    I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
    Thanks for any help!

    Ok so we now have a solution to the problem.   A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped.  Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable  (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express.  In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned.  We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name.  We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router.  I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name.  I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
    No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Kappy,
    Yes, our domain and email accounts are on a server that does accept IMAP. Also, our mac mini and imacs are all set up for IMAP. Buying an ipad will enable me to work from home during this winter.
    Another ?: do you know if you can use text edit with the iPads mail feature? Reason being we have about 100 generic emails that all we have to do is change a few fields before sending out. Can this be integrated in without having to recreate all these messages?

  • Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

    Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    To be able to use the iMac as an external display, the Mac Pro should come with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, so think that it will include Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, although we don't know anything.
    To connect the iMac to the Mac Pro, as your iMac has got a Mini DisplayPort, you have to use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt cables). Then, just follow the steps of the page above to use the iMac as an external display

  • I got a second iPad in the family.  Can we use it with the same Apple account and name?

    We got a second iPad in the family, cna we use it with the same Apple name and account?

    Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

  • Can I use hotmail with the Mail app?

    I looked at the mail app, but didn't see hotmail in there. Can I use it on the touch after upgrading?

    I had this question as well. i don't think MSN or Hotmail allows the enabling of pop mail. Therefore it cannot be used unless you subscribe it to a pop mail client. I just switched over to gmail to maike things easier. But would love to find out an answer to this question

  • Is it better to use my Pro with the power adapter plugged in or out?

    After charging my MBP's battery to 100%, which is better?
    - keep the power adapter plugged in to the laptop and resume using until you want to turn off the laptop
    OR
    - because the battery is already at 100%, unplug the adapter and resume using until you feel like you should charge the laptop again (maybe around 80%-90%)

    If you are convenient to an AC outlet it's fine to use the adapter. However, keeping the AC adapter connected will not have an adverse affect on the battery. Once the battery has been fully charged it will stop charging. Recharge will begin once the battery's charge drops below 95%. LIthium-Ion/Polymer batteries do not exhibit memory effects.

  • Is it possible to use headphones with the digital AV-adapter w/ iPad 3?

    Hi there.
    Just wondering if its possible to show video on my monitor with HDMI and simultaneously use headphones through 3.5 on the iPad 3/iPhone 4S?
    This is because the monitor i will use doesnt have loudspeakers.

    No, this is not possible.  It would be like dialing your own phone number.  You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad.  See the following link which will tell you how to do this.  You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

  • Do I have to have SP2 or can I use SP1 with the X

    My Gaming Rig is I guess outdated to many of you:
    P4c800E-Deluxe
    P4 3.2
    gig 3200
    EVGA 6800 Ultra
    *SB LIVE 5. Platinum
    I know many of you here can tell that my 5. is causing me some issues.
    It is. In fact my rig plays all the new games great with the exception of
    audio. I feel that my 5. is causing me some if not all of the glitching and stuttering
    Im getting is say FEAR for example. I just go SIN Emergence and I have serious
    audio glitches.
    So I came to the this forum to check out what people were saying about the new Platinum
    cards. I had no idea of what I have been reading. I am a big ASUS fan for years now. After now well over a year of serious troubleshooting and analysis I am positi've that I must get a new Sound card Directx 9 compliant EAX 3+ and more.
    BUT like most gamers none of us want or use SP in XP.
    Will the X-FI Platinum or Fatality install and work if I just have SP?
    Id really appreciate any assitance. Since my system is older it the X-FI might not suffer from some of the issues I am reading about. I am hoping so. But I will not go to SP2 and if I put the card in and load the drivers CD and it says you need SP2 I have wasted my money.
    Thanks

    If home sharing is setup and you have an IOS device that is on the same network you can download the remote app. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new remote.

  • What is User flag and how can i use it with the mails?

    i do wana know what is meant by user flag and how it is different from System flag.?
    can i use user flag to distinguish the mail. in my application?
    Thanks,

    System flags are defined by the IMAP spec and every server has to support them.
    User flags are defined by the application. Different IMAP servers may have different
    limitations on user flags.
