Cant connect mic or elec guitar - tried 1/8 inch adapter and system pref

Hi, Is it not possible to just connect ordinary mics and guitars like it says in the garageband manual?

You have to set the System prefs to Line-In, but
don't expect great results:

thanks, still not working
it's obviously set as line in as when I sing into the mic the in-built is picking up nothing - but neither is my mic (whic is working fine on my amp, so is ok)
Any ideas? Ta

  • I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.

    What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
    A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
    How is it setup?
    I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
    I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

  • HT4061 My phone has horizantal lines in the screen and i cant see nothing on it , also tried to reset by phone and computer,  ( nothing,)  I used to tap on it and it would work , not no more and now i broke the glass in front and cracked the back . what n

    My phone has lines from top to bottom  the screen has nothing , I tried to reset it many times also tried to reset with computer and nothing. I used to tap on it and sometimes it worked but not no more , I even broke the screen and cracked the back  so now what ??? this I-phone 4 is the worst phone i have had . I started with the first I-phone  tthen the second and third and they were all good , in fact my kids have them now . Since I got the I-phone 4 nothing but problems.and its only A little over A year since i got it

    I am having the same issue.  ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy. 
    THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS.  The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently.   I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
    THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor.  BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
    THE SOLUTION:  Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know.   If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones.  My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software.

  • Cant record into to logic pro 9 using samson l1200 live mixer, System/Pref/Audio input tab says selected device has no input control

    Hi Im new to this so bare with me..When I connect my Samson l1200 live usb mixer to my Imac 7,1 Intel duo core 3gb ram, osx10.6.8, via usb cable to record vocals/instruments, in System Pref/Audio/Output tab is set to mixer's UsbAudioCodec driver, (Im able to hear playback into headphones via the mixer, and hear the mic when spoken into it but cant record a track into Logic...System/Pref/Audio input tab says selected device has no input control, Ive set the input/output settings in Logic to UsbAudioCodec but still no good...Would it be either the way the mixer is set up? or is this mixer (Samson l1200) not compatible with my particular Imac? I hope I may be able to help as Im only a student trying to record my band thanks

    I perfectly understand your problem.
    First... just to make sure, in Logic's preferences /Audio make sure Universal Track Mode IS checked, it should be enabled. (I think it probably is just checking)
    Second... if you record a track in a new Logic project and then go to the next track to record an overdubbed guitar part, are both parts recorded on the 2nd track?
    What I'm asking is overdubbing working differently for two or three recorded tracks as opposed to overdubbing with an imported track.
    What I think is happening is you have the main stereo output being recorded into Logic so if you playback an imported or recorded track from Logic while recording a 2nd track (overdub), both are going to be recorded on the 2nd track.
    I took a look at the manual, here's the relevant sections.
    34 – SEND – USB input send switch 
    The USB INPUT switch allows you to select one of
    two stereo (or two channel) signal paths to feed the
    USB output to send to the connected PC. When the
    INPUT switch is in the up position, the USB signal will
    feed from the MAIN left right mix. When the INPUT
    switch is in the down position, the USB signal will
    feed from the AUX 1 and AUX 2 buses which enables
    you to create a unique mix to send to the PC.
    35 – RETURN – USB return switch
    The USB RETURN switch allows you to select one of
    two stereo return paths to receive USB audio from
    the connected PC. When the ASSIGN switch is in the
    up position, the USB signal will return to the MAIN
    mix bus. When the ASSIGN switch is in the down
    position, the USB signal will return to the last pair
    of stereo channels which enables you to playback a
    recorded track in the MAIN mix, and you can use the
    channels AUX sends to feed any of the AUX buses.
    This will let you hear the USB playback tracks in the
    monitor mixes.
    36 – MONITOR – USB headphone enable switch
    Press the USB MONITOR switch down if you want
    to hear the signal from the USB return in the
    headphones.

  • I Just bought a ipad 2 and I can conect to my home wifi but I cant connect to any free hotspots. my ipad shows the network and connection but I can't get any web pages.

    I Just bought a IPAD2 and I can connect to my home wifi but I can't connect to any free hotspots. My Ipad shows the connections but I can't get any web pages. what do I do?

    Many free wi-fi hotspots require that you register first - agreeing to their terms and conditions, etc. This is usually provided via a web page with Safari provided immediately after connecting. If the register page is provided via Flash, you won't see it and you won't be able to register.

  • HT201413 my phone is disabled too many failed password attempts and i cant connect to itunes it says my phone is password locked and have to enter password to continue

    im having trouble getting into my phone my phone is disabled have to connect to itunes but i get a error message sayin put in password to continue but i can get to the screen to enter it

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi. Any ideas?

    Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi trying to do initial set up.
    My wifi is working as my macbook runs off it..any ideas?

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the iPad.
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Try changing router security e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2
    4. Have you updated router firmware?

  • WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

    I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?"  So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable:  Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

    Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
    If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
    In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
    If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

  • Cant connect to server after 3.0 upgrade

    Recently upgraded my iphone and seems since then i cannot use the internet except when on a wifi connection. Comes up with messages saying i cant connect to the server when trying to use safari and email....

    I'm having the same problem as well, I hope it's only because the network is cluttered right now. I'm having other problems since the update, but this one is the most annoying.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

    If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

  • I cant connect to wifi

    I cant connect to wi fi

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
