Connecting guitar to computer

I'm just starting w garageband. I have a Mac Powerbook G4, a fender electric guitar and a fender cybertwin amp. The amp has various jacks: midi in, midi out, midi thru, xlr r & l lines out, spdif output for connection to digital equipment such as a digital recorder. Can I connect my guitar to my Mac through this amp to record guitar tracks. If so which amp jack to which port on the computer?

I have several pedals that I had prior to purchase of my Mac Pro. The only thing I wonder now is how they will work going into Garage Band with all my pedals including a Route 66 Compression/Overdrive (my favorite) or DOD Supra Distortion which are both hot pedals. I also have a Boss Digital Delay which is another stereo pedal. As long as I turn these pedals way down and turn them up slowly there should not be a problem right? The Mac apparently has some pretty hot settings since they hum like a pedal turned up. I also want to know if plugging the jack in while everything is on will be a problem. When some of the pedals are powered up they automatically come on. Or is it simply okay to make sure they are turned down before powering up the pedals since the Cool Cat, Supra Distortion and Digital Distortion all come on at the same time when they get power. (Tubes don't mind this feature.) I wish Garage Band had more "tube like" sound profiles. Tubes have such a warm rich sound.
For the cable connection, I will try the mono to stereo to see how it works. But I do like the stereo effect however. I appreciate your input.

Recording from guitar to computer

i'm new to logic, i just wanted to know what is the best way to connect your guitar to computer. What USB or any other device could you use to record with good quality. thanks.

You should look for a decent audio interface (firewire or usb). There are several brands available. Depends on your budget of course. I've got the Presonus Firepod and used it daily. It features clean preamps and is good value for money.

Connecting Guitar Port - HELP!

Connecting Guitar Port - HELP!" Hello,
I have just purchased Guitar Port and wish to find the simplest way to hook up.
I have a <span class="mainlink">X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro Series sound card with Logitech 5. speakers.
If you follow this link to the manual and go to page 22 you will see their instructions: http://line6.com/data/l/c0a8090bee7b...%20English.pdf
I want to have the sound go through my speakers and not have to crawl behind the computer and mess with the cables everytime I want to play guitar.
Thanks!!!

Connecting Guitar to Garageband

Hi - I am new to Garageband and to Macs in general and I would like to lay down some guitar tracks on top of the groove I put together using the GB loops. I have heard that it is best to use a firewire/USB interface such as a Firebox to connect to the computer. I am wondering if some of you out there have used this piece of gear and what your experiences are with it, or with others like it.

Thanks for all of the responses! I ended up purchasing a PreSonus Firebox. I was trying to install Cubase LE that came with it and apparently there is some known issue with the version of Cubase and MacOSX. It is version 1.07. Steinberg doesnt' seem to offer any patch for it nor does Apple that I can find. I bought the unit second hand, so I am not sure what recourse I have.
On another note, I have a Fender Deluxe amplifier with a Preamp Out - is that the same as a Line Out? Can I use that to connect to the Firebox? I haven't set it all up yet as I just got it.

We have 10 ipads connected to 1 computer and 1 account. How can I change/erase an account so that the seperate offices can use itunes and synchonise itselve?

Hi there!
Our department (marketing) wanted to control the input of the iPads. We found out it was useless because our salesteam wanted to personalize the ipad (think about projectspecific items etc.) It is impossible for 1 person to control 10 iPads and deliver input for each different iPad. So we decided that each office can have its own account. But these ipads are already connected to 1 computer (i know you can connect them to a max. of 5 computers, but that is not enough in this case..) They can make there own account with their personal creditcard or that of the office. How can i disconnect the iPads en still remain the files on the iPads?
With kind regards,
Willeke

Whatt ype of "files" are you concerned about? Are they purchases from the AppStore or music, video etc, or something else? If you are concerned about Apps, one method of centrally distributing apps is to purchase apps with a corporate credit card, and then "gift" them to the various employees. The "gifted" app is sent to the email address you specify and can actually be forwarded, prior to install to another user for their use...

Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find on the internet but nothing is working. Any other suggestions?

If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.
