Can I use my old Ensoniq ASR10 with GarageBand?

Hello:
My trusty M-Audio Keystation 49e has given up the ghost (the keys don't send MIDI signals anymore). I've tried hitting it with a hammer but, alas, to no avail.
I have made sacrifices at the altar of MIDI Monitor, etc, but the gods will not be appeased,
Oh well.
Anyway, I dusted off my ancient Ensoniq ASR10 (it performed miracles back in the day) and am now wondering if I could use this as a MIDI controller in GarageBand. By this I mean can I use it to replace the M-Audio Keystation and play the various instruments, etc. in Garageband? Buying an M-Audio MIDI to USB adapter is a lot cheaper than buying a new M-Audio Keystation (or a even a used one). But I want to be assured it will work first before I spend the dosh.
The Ensoniq ASR10 has a standard MIDI In, Out and Thru.
So please, anyone, any thoughts?
Thanks

MIDI is MIDI, regardless of what device sends it. as long as the interface you buy is compatible with your OS version, it'll work, if the keyboard works.

Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

Hello:
I would definitely not try that..... The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible. I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

Can i use an old car charger with a usb port to charge my iPhone 5s?

Can I use an old car charger for a not smart phone to charge my iPhone 5s through the usb port?

Usually you can!
check if the specification of charger (USB output) is 5V (very important) and at least 500mA (more power like 1000mA --> 1A allow you to charge greater devices like iPad)
But personally is not good idea, because in short/long time can damage or reduce the life of battery of your iPhone/iPad etc.

Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
Thanks very much.

You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
Best of luck.

Can i use an old power adapter with a new powerbook

I have an old powerbook AC adapter/charger from a previous powerbook that is dead. It is a 60 Watt charger Mod # 1184. Can I use it with the latest powerbook. It came with an 85 watt mod #1343? The shape of the connector is different but it seems to be the same kind of connection and fits fine. I haven't actually tried to use it to charge my laptop but it would be nice to have a spare charger. Thanks

There are no "new" Powerbooks any more. They were replaced by the MacBook Pro in 2006.
If the new computer is really a MacBook Pro and the old one is a PowerBook, adaptors are not interchangeable. Totally different connectors. All MacBook Pros use an 85W power supply; 15-inch PowerBooks used 45W and the 17-inch PowerBooks used 65W.
The MacBook and the MacBook Pro share the same magnetic connector, the MagSafe. Sounds like you have an older Macbook power supply--they are 60W.
A 60W MacBook Power Supply will "work" with a MacBook Pro but not fully service the computer. It will run the computer or charge the computer, but not both at the same time. I you have a very processor-intensive task running that can draw power from both the power adaptor AND the battery, you could be risking a shutdown.

Can I use my old email account with the mobile me email account?

I have a personal email account I have used for years. How can I use that with the mobile me? I want my original email address to be in MobileMe so I can transfer my emails to all of my devices.

Hi Margaret,
I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/ I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.
I think you updated to Leopard/10.5.x, Snow Leopard/10.6 is Intel only.
Actually you're in luck, you can still use iCloud for eMail on PPC using 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, but it must be IMAP, not POP...
iCloud Mail setup...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
One secret I think is when setting it up don't choose the .me/.mac type, it'll auto fill in .mac as the server which won't work, go back afterwards & change the servers.

Can I use the old MagSafe connector with the new MBP

I must say that I like the new style MagSafe connector that came with my new MBP. I would like to get an extra to leave in another room, but I'm not hot to pay $79 to Apple for one. I saw an 85 Watt old style connector on eBay for $35. Would the old style work on my new MBP? I don't want to screw it up just to save $44, but if it will work, why buy the $79 unit.
Basically, it would only be serving duty while my MBP is connected to my Time Machine.

As long as it is healthy it will work, Macaby.
Be wary of second hand units that haven't been tested though. Quite a few that haven't been well treated develop weakening of the wires at the points where they enter either the magnetic "head" or the body of the power block. At best these are likely to fail prematurely. At worst they may cause sparks to fly!
OWC sell tested second hand units for a price somewhere in between the eBay "used" price and the cost of a new one, that might be worth a look.
Be wary of cheap third party imitations. The extra few dollars is a small price to pay to avoid the catastrophic consequences that can occur if a badly made power adaptor happens to decide to start a fire!
Cheers

How can i use my old airport express with my new imac and wireless hp print

i just bought my first imac (intel) and a wireless hp printer. i now realize that a wireless connection between my imac and my printer needs a router.
i have an airport express base station, which is a few years old. I can't find my documentation, so i don't know its specifications.
how can i find out the specs of the airport express i have and whether i can use it now? it says that it is model a1084 100-240v~ 0.2a 50-60 hz.
does that tell any knowledgeable people out there about the specs? can i search the apple website by serial number and find the specs?
thank all of you potential responders ahead of time.

Can i use my old slr lenses with new dslr rebel T3i camera

I am contemplating buying the Canon Rebel T3i DSLR, but have read varying opinions on whether or not my older lense collection from Rebel Eos SLR will be compatible. Please help

All the Canon EOS lenses from a film SLR will work on any of their digital SLRs.
The sensor on the T3i is about the same size as a single frame of negative from APS-C film (APS-C = Advanced Photo System - Classic size). Those were the drop-in cartridge rolls that started to become popular in the 1990s. It's a little smaller than a single frame of 35mm film.
Canon also makes DSLR cameras that have "full frame" sensors -- which means the sensor is the same size as 35mm film.
When you shoot with, say, a 50mm lens on a 35mm film camera you are used to a certain angle of view. Since the sensor on a Rebel body is a little smaller, it's as if someone cropped in on the negative slightly and decided to make a print using only the middle area of the negative. This results in a tighter angle of view -- it's almost as though you've zoomed in a bit.
For this reason, the APS-C sensor is referred to as a "crop frame" sensor.
The crop factor is 60% (multiply by 1.6). In other words, suppose you had a 50mm lens on your film body. When you put that same lens on a Rebel T3i, you would multiply the focal length by 1.6. 50 X 1.6 = 80. This means the 50mm lens on the camera with the APS-C size sensor is going to provide an angle of view which is approximately the same as using an 80mm lens on the film (or full-frame sensor) camera. The Canon 6D, 5D series, and a few of the !D series bodies (such as the current 1D X) have "full frame" sensors ... the same size as a 35mm negative. (Some 1D bodies used APS-H size sensors which have a 30% crop factor but Canon does not currently make those anymore -- you can certainly find them on the used equipment market.)
Your Canon EOS lenses WILL all work on the T3i body, but you'll notice you get a narrower angle of view (and there's nothing wrong with that -- it just takes a bit of getting used to.)
Canon also makes "EF-S" lenses which reduces the cost to build the lens by using elements that are not designed to completely cover a 35mm negative -- it only project an image circle which is large enough to cover the APS-C sensor. The up-side is that they cost a little less. The down-side is that if you ever chose to get a camera that uses a full-frame digital sensor then you would not be able to use those "EF-S" lenses.
But Canon's EOS "EF" lenses work on _every_ EOS camera body, film or digital.
