Complete Novice Needs Some Basic Help

Hi!
I'm sorry to clutter up the discussion with such basic questions, but what I want to do is get something from a cassette tape to my iPod. I'm told I can do this through GarageBand, and I have an audio cable that the guy in the Apple store said I would need. I'm not even sure where to plug this cable in. So any help in where I plug this in, or what I do next would be tremendously appreciated. If someone could even tell me where to look for help that would be great (when I look in GarageBand help its saying something about MIDIs and I don't even know what that is). Eternal gratitude for any help....

Oh man, this is frustrating and I might give up soon!
So in System Preferences, Sound I have 2 things,
Internal Microphone (port is Built-in) and Line In
(port is Audio line-in port). I can't seem to
select one or the other, they're just there.
Yeah, there is no "apply" or "OK" or anything like that. Just click on the Line-In so that it is highlighted and close the system preferences. That takes care of that. My PB G4 automatically detects when I plug in my line-in now that it is set up.
Then in GB preferences, I only have the option of
Built-in Audio, there is no other option.
Built-In audio is correct in GB prefs.
I also couldn't find where you were saying to
double-click...what's the track header? I've clicked
everything and can't find a monitor drop down menu
option.
The track header is the left-hand side of the track where there is a small speaker or instrument. For what you are doing, you need to create a new basic track. (Under "Track" in the menu bar, click "New Basic Track") You should have a new blue track that is labeled "No Effects." Double click on the speaker image and a dialog box will appear. Right in the middle of this box there are options for Input, Volume, and Monitor. You can turn on and off monitor abilities here.
On the plus side, the connector I have seems to
work...its male/male 1/8".
Perfect.
Thanks again and if you want to bail out, I
completely understand!
Hang in there. We were once all newbies to this digital recording stuff too.

  • I'm a newbie and need some basic help...

    I'm a newb trying to teach myself Director. I'm trying to
    make a menu and I'm having some problems....
    I have 3 main buttons. When you click one of the main
    buttons, 3 sub buttons pop up next to the button pressed. When one
    of those sub buttons is pressed, a box pops up to the right of the
    sub buttons and has a list inside containing links to movies. When
    one of the links is pressed i want the movie to take the place of
    the links in the box. When the movie is done playing it will
    disappear and show the links again.
    I uploaded what I have done here...
    http://www.lohrmandesign.com/uploads/Template.dir
    If you look at it, could you tell me what I've done
    correctly, and how I should go about implementing the rest of the
    menu? I imagine you have to use director movies within the main
    director movie, but I haven't figured out how to implement that. Or
    possibly use the .visible command? Thanks for any help...Online
    resources and examples are scarce for Director it seems.
    And I'm not sure if i have to upload all the pics for you to
    view my movie correctly, If I do, just let me know...

    mean by
    "movie," because Director's terminology makes it kind of
    confusing. Are
    you speaking of a Director movie, or digital video?
    If you want to jump to a different Director movie, simply do
    something
    like this:
    on mouseUp me
    go to frame "StartMovie" of movie "Option1"
    end
    To get back to your menu, just use an exitFrame command at
    the end of
    the Director movie that takes you back there.
    If you're referring to starting a digital video, just put
    your video
    somewhere in the same Director file your menu is in, label it
    with a
    marker, and simply jump to that marker. Like this:
    on mouseUp me
    go to frame "Video1"
    end
    To get back to your menu at the end of the video do something
    like this:
    on exitFrame me
    if sprite(5).movieRate = 1 then
    go to the frame
    else
    go to frame "Menu"
    end if
    end
    Hope that helps.
    Sorry, I should have clarified...When you click on a sub
    category button, a Quicktime video will play, not a Director
    "movie"...Thanks for the help! using the method you described, that
    would make the menu disappear when the video is played, and reload
    the menu when the movie is done, right? I want the menu to stay
    visible while the movie is playing...

            System.out.println("Starting...");
        public void stop() {
            System.out.println("Stopping...");
    }Other notes:
    - You try to set the PLAF to Windows. which will not work on Linux and Mac (and if it did, the users would be screaming at you).
    - setLayout(null)/setBounds(int,int,int,int) is rubbish GUI development, it is fragile and will cause problems (especially if changing PLAFs)
    - Why did you not code this as a hybrid application/app?
    - The call to the JFileChooser will require a trusted applet, and it is pointing to the wrong place in seeking out the 'Program Files' directory, better to put configuration data/history data in a sub-dir or user.home.
    - This app. is much better suited to being deployed using Java Web Start. Forget the applet and use the frame, persistence can be obtained through the PersistenceService and that will side step both the application needing 'trust' and trying to find a suitable path for storing results of past games. JWS can launch the app. directly off the net, and provides auto-update and many other slick features.

  • Need some basic help with Acrobat and LiveCycle

    This is my first time using Acrobat and LiveCycle to design a form. Basically all I need is a title that is uneditable and underneath that I want to insert a text box so people can type in the box then print off the whole page with their comments. I can do all of that except the problem is when I insert the text box, the cursor is left justified but appears in the middle of the textbox. So when people start typing, there is a huge gap between the title and what they've typed. I want their typing to appear directly under the title. What am I doing wrong? See attached for a visual explanation. Thanks.

    You can have the text in the field top jusitied. This is controlled on the Font palette. Turn on the Font palette under the window menu. It usually will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. Now highlight the field you want to adjust. Make usre the paragraph tab is slected. Click on the small dropdown arrow indictaed in yellow in the screen shot and select "Edit Value". Now click the top justification as indicated by the arroe in the csreen shot.

  • Need some basic help -- my iTunes no longer plays all songs in my playlist

    I've created a holiday playlist, and for some reason iTunes will only play one song and then the music stops. I must manually press play to get the next song to play. The music also stops when I try to fast forward to the next song or back up and play the previous song. In either case, I can get the music going again by pressing play, but again iTunes will only play that one song.
    I've got checks next to every song in the list. I've been toggling repeat and shuffle on and off with no luck.
    FYI...I'm having no trouble with my other playlists. This is especially frustrating since my parents aren't interested in listening to my other music -- only the holiday tunes.
    Would appreciate anyone's suggestions for how to resolve.

    Solved it. Hold down option (alt) while launching iTunes, and it asks to locate the iTunes library. Point it at the file called "iTunes library". All is back where it belongs. Apparently pointing to it in the Advanced tab wasn't enough.

  • I need some basic help with Email setup

    Hello, I ve just been connected to infinity and I m trying to setup a few email addresses but the BT yahoo system is confusing me.
    I managed to create a new email (sub account) for my wife but I m struggling with finding a way to have a couple more for myself. Do I really need to make a sub account for each email?
    The default email has my name and surname in it which is not something I generally use for that purpose, I would only use that one for close friends and family, I would like to setup another one for general use and one for when there is a likelyhood it ll get a lot of spam.
    The way to add extra emails is usually very simple (with previous isps) , login to "manage my account" and choose username and password then enter the details in outlook express.
    With BT I m having to deal with the Yahoo thingy, which does a lot of more than just emails but at this time I have interest in it at all.
    1 - I would simply like to setup a few emails to use with outlook express, what is the best way to achieve that ?
    2 - The yahoo email seems to be part of a network like facebook, as I  don t intend to use that side of it I would prefer not to have my personal details associated with a profile that I do not  need . It seems to be for public viewing by default.
    Can I set up and use my emails without having an online profile for yahoo?
    How do i keep my details offline (not publicly viewable in yahoo)?
    thanks.

    yes!
    you get one prime email address. the one you agreed to and the one to set up your bt mail, it was in letter confirming bt set up. (order ref)
    for more for yourself, or anybody else,  its got to be sub. up to ten for INF2
    I have set up 4 sub accounts with different names, etc. but use the same password for all 5 .
    I then had them set up with outlook express, there is a bt prog to do this. look on site.
    Then I use incredimail as my final mail client, this also has a prog to set up from outlook express.
    so all my mail to and from me ends up in incredimail with my 4 sub accounts, using one as my prime.
    my bt prime I do not use, as it is my full name.
    so far so good, just a bit slow finding its way, like you my previous ISP (tesco) was less complicated, but slow copper wire.
    good luck
    Ronin22
    In the end we will all be star dust.
    Then start all over again.

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.

  • CSS11506 - Some basic help needed

    Alright, I have a CSS11506 in the lab and I am trying to configure it into a reverse proxy config. So I would like to have all inbound http requests hit the CSS and then have it redirect to our web server on correct DMZ. Having never setup a CSS before I need some help.
    - Is my service type proxy-cache, type redirect or type transparent cache ?
    I know this should be fairly easy to do with the 11506. Can you also provide some docs explaining the config walkthru.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Dave

    Thanks, that explains a few things.
    So assuming the following, DMZ web server ip is 192.168.20.50 and VIP for CSS is 192.168.20.100, basically I would want to redirect all inbound http requests from 192.168.20.100 to the 192.168.20.50 using the following CSS config ?
    service rprox1
    ip address 192.168.20.50
    protocol tcp
    port 8080
    active
    owner clee
    content redirect_rule
    add service rprox1
    vip address 192.168.20.100
    protocol tcp
    port 8080
    url "/*"
    Like I said, never configured one yet so this is my first attemtp.
    Thanks again for the help
    Cheers

    by the way..i hope that u all guys have nice holidays!!!
    Here is the assignment:
    JAVA LAB ASSIGNMENT � B241
    Bank Account
    Level 1
    Create a bank account that reads in the following information about a single customer
    account:
    Initial balance
    Deposit amount
    Withdraw amount
    Current Date
    Give the account holder a random account id number.
    Display error messages if the number of parameters is incorrect or negative parameters are
    entered.
    Verify that the amount being withdrawn is available (i.e. make sure that the initial balance +
    deposit amount is greater than or equal to the amount being withdrawn).
    Calculate the balance amount in the account after the transaction has been completed.
    Tasks:
    - Create a BankAccount class, which defines a bank account
    - Use command line arguments to read in the account information
    - The customer account values are private and accessible only through the
    BankAccount class
    - Use the file, InsufficientFundsException.java given to you (Location:
    /global_ro/rekha/B241/assignment) to create an Exception class called
    InsufficientFundsException.class that throws an exception if an
    InsufficientFundsException occurs in your BankAccount class. Make the necessary
    changes to the file if you feel the need to do so.
    - Print out the following information:
    2
    account holder�s id
    balance amount
    amount being withdrawn
    the current date and time
    (Hint: this will occur when the amount withdrawn is more than the total amount in the
    account. Your withdraw method throws the InsufficientFundsException exception which
    should be caught in your main program from where you are calling the withdraw method).
    Subclass the BankAccount class for the specifics of a CurrentAccount class that adds an
    additional field to the already existing information:
    User name
    The account balance and account id values should still be private and now accessible only
    through the CurrentAccount subclass.
    Allow the CurrentAccount class to provide overdraft protection of up to �100.
    Task:
    - Incorporate the additional functionalities into your initial program and print out the
    values as before.
    ********************************END OF LEVEL 1 **************************
    Level 2
    Add the following functionalities to your Level 1 program.
    Define an interface named Personal, consisting of two methods:
    Deposit
    Withdraw
    Read in the account information specified in Level 1 for more than one user through the
    command line parameters and display appropriate error messages as before.
    Calculate the balance amount in each account after the transaction has been completed.
    Tasks:
    - Increment the account id each time a customer is added (For instance, if the first
    customer id is 100, the next id should be 101 and so on).
    - Implement the Personal interface in the BankAccount class.
    - Print out the customer information for all customers as you did in Level 1.
    *****************************END OF LEVEL 2*****************************
    Level 3
    Extend the above features to add some more personal information about the customer such
    as:
    a. Name: surname first name
    b. Date of birth: day/month/year
    c. Address: street
    Town
    Postcode
    d. Phone: home number work number
    e. E-mail: e-mail address
    Customer�s data is stored in a file. It is retrieved from the file when the bank is opened and
    stored in a memory buffer. The memory buffer is updated after every transaction. The
    contents of the memory buffer are written into the file when the bank is closed.
    Design a data management structure of the bank with several customers. The bank performs
    �deposit� and �withdraw� transactions by using Java I/O streams.
    Use the SimpleClient.java and SimpleServer.java files (Location:
    /global_ro/rekha/B241/assignment) as a base for creating your own Client and Server
    windows. Make the necessary changes to the files for them to work within your programs.
    Tasks:
    - Create a non-graphical user interface to be able to
    o enter customer�s data
    o display customer�s personal and account data after every transaction
    - Write a JAVA program to read and write customers data from/to a file.
    - Create a client � server networking environment using Java�s networking capabilities
    such that data is entered through the server window and displayed by the client in the
    client window.

  • Replaced zd8000 motherboard and need some troubleshooting help please............

    Hello All,
     I just replaced the motherboard on our HP zd8000 (pentium 4, 3.0ghz, 2gb ram, Win XP) with a used but tested good MB and need some help with the following.
    1) I now cannot play DVD movies as the error no "dvd decoder" present which was not an issue before?  Where can I go to get a free decoder that will work, as Windows only shows paid versions?  We have the dvd burner/reader with lightscribe. SOLVED! CNET HAD DECODER.
    2) The internal temperature, according to SpeedFan, is running around 140 degrees with just some Internet browsing.  Is that a normal temperature because I only have one of three fans running on the laptop?  Is there anyway of making all three fans run to be sure there are no issues?  I am positive I hooked up everything but again only one fan seems to be running?
    3) I discovered some of the pins were damaged in the card reader.  I may get the Seller to give me a discount, no intention of tearing it apart simply for that, but is there any concern of short or otherwise?
    4) Our battery stopped charging years ago, these were notorious for such, but I purchased a new one last year and hoped the replacement MB would allow charging again.  No such luck though.  Is there anything I can do, BIOS update etc, to make the battery charge?
    5) Anything you folks can think of for me to test to insure the new motherboard is working properly?
    Thanks, Ralph 
    P.S. This was a correct replacement board according to MB serial numbers.  Everything else seems to be functioning properly other than mentioned.  Our graphics went out on the original MB.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Some of the wires had pushed out of the harness that connected the other two fans.  I double checked and re-attached those so now the laptop is running quite a bit cooler.
    EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO!

    What I mean is that I can get the Instance UP with no problem, but the Connection with the Instance is the problem.

    My aim is work on mobile applications/services and for that what stuff I need. I have already downloaded wireless kit. Does I require some additions softwares and what?
    Can I find tutorials and starter help and from where?
    Thanks in anticipation.

  • GT70 680m/8970m troubleshooting - need some experienced help!

    Hi!
    Looping for some serious help...
    After some erratic behavior my i7 3rd gen GT70 just stopped working with MSI 680m 4GB. The card shows on occasions in manager, but both - discrete and HD4000 have no installed drivers and wont work unless 680 is plugged out (then intel kicks in without prob). That happened after some automatic driver updates and possibly BIOS update. Tried a ton of these and Bioses, rather randomly, trying to solve the disappearance of my 680m from control panel, but non of them worked. To make the things worse, I've messed with EC firmware editions trying the "beta" t25,21,16,17 - one of them bricked the lappi for good... Had MSI re-flash the bios (couldn't do the blind flash myself) but they say they can't help me with 680 since it is from GT60 originally and it's not supported by GT70 (I switched it from 675 to 680 in the other MSI laptop some 8 months ago - both worked without a problem until the issue). Don't have access to check my 680m in another MSI to check if it's working and is no hardware failure, but have access to 8970m from CLEVO for some decent bucks - was wondering which bios should I install to run it in my GT70 or which bios/EC firmware to flash so my old 680 start working again... This or that... Any idea? Guys? Svet? Sure will make the donation if needed of course!

    Checked that out. What I need is some info which BIOS to use in GT70 0ND for 680m or 8970m, particularly. My 680m stopped working after the bios/ec firmware update, still shows in manager but tries to the same resources as integrated Intel HD resulting in both not working. Is there a bios that allows for permanently switching off optimus and integrated gpu? Or the bios that will accept radeon 8970m (that works perfectly in 2nd gen MSI gt780 by the way...). Any ideas?
    No special BIOS is required to support 680M. Just use the latest BIOS release for model GT70 0NE by MSI, it should be working on the machine as long as there is no other strange issue, like a malfunction VGA card/Mobo....
