Can't get a signal into garageband using firewire interface? Help

Hi, I'm using a presonus fire studio mobile with a shure sm 57 connected into my mic input 1. The interface is correctly receiving the signal however when I choose the input in garageband i can't get anything. I tried all the input options (mono and stereo) but still nothing. I don't understand why.

Hey Buddy,
Does your interface have a software program that supports it? For example: Apogee has Maestro.
Is the mic a phantom mic? Perhaps tha phantom feature has not been engaged?
Did you double check the audio settings in the Garage Band>Preferences>Audio section?
Another trick might be to restart Garage Band AND/OR restart the machine with the interface connected.
Double check you input settings (ie, Line 1 or Line 2 or Stereo). Make sure the monitor is set to the "on" position. Click the grid icon next to the "monitor on/off" setting and double check your connections.
Hope on of these helps.

    How is iTunes telling you it is unlocked? Did you go through an unlock procedure with your cell company and then Restore it in iTunes?

  • I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall   What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

    I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall   What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

    Very few 3rd party wireless extenders will work with an Apple router, so your best bet is always to use an extender that is the same brand as the main router. An AirPort Express is a popular choice for this type of application with another Apple router.
    If you had a Cisco router, then a Cisco extender would be your best bet.  Same for Netgear, etc.
    But......a wireless extender can only "extend" the quality of wireless signal that it receives, and not much of a wireless signal is going to make it through a brick wall, so whether any extender might do what you want is open to question.
    You won't know whether an extender using wireless to connect will work to your satisfaction in your home until you actually try it out in your home.
    The performance will always be much better if you can connect the extending device back to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet power line adapters might be able to send the signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. The theory with these devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
    In practice though, things do not always work as well as the theory might suggest, so if you decide to try a pair of adapters, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

  • My roommates' computers can't get a signal from my Airport base station

    I just bought a used Airport Extreme (the round one) off Craig's List and set up a network in my apartment using Airport Utility on my MacBook. I've set it up with WPA, and I can connect to it. Works great....
    Until my roommates try to connect from their computers. One is on a ~5 year-old iMac and the other is on a Thinkpad. Their machines can see the SSID but can't get a signal from it or connect to it. I've tried removing the password and unsecuring the network. I've tried resetting the router entirely and reconfiguring. Same story.
    I know this is an Apple issue because their machines can connect just fine to our previous crappy router that was slowing down our connection (that was meant to be replaced by the shiny new (used) Airport). I've looked into the WEP / hex key issue mentioned on some forums (eg http://www.macwindows.com/airportpc.html#011408b), but I don't think that Apple/PC compatibility is the issue because one of their machines is an iMac.
    Help?

    Hello amandalotti. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Per chance, do you have Access Controls enabled? (ref: AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Access tab) If so, disable it.
    If not, I suggest performing a "factory default" reset on the base station to get it back to its original "out-of-the-box" configuration to see if this will help.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    I choose to restore from a safety backup in iTunes. It works ok, but iTunes is still asking to restore the iPhone. Why can't I get to syncronise the phone?
    I can't get the menue I am used to in iTunes. It only states "Klargjør iPhone" (Norwegian). Something like "Start up your iPhone". I've done this several times, restarted the iPhone and my computer, but I can't get ready to sync... The phone is working ok and my backup data is restored into the phone.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

    My  current project in the Events Library has gone into list mode. ie a single clip on the left one above another, so showing only about 7 clips. How can I get it back into normal horizontal mode?

    That's about what it's supposed to look.
    How do You want it to look ?
    a. You can change places by using this
    b. May be You changed this top right symbol of an hard disk ?
    c. or changed the number of frames to be viewed ?
    d. OR - it can (at least for me) be so that You think of how it looks in iPhoto. (To me a very common mistake)

  • I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor.  I have one connected to the HDMI and it works.  I can't get a signal to the other one.  It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port.  How can I make it work?

    Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
    You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
    You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.
