Do i need phantom power for a condenser mic to use with garageband?

i have learned condenser mics need phantom power. if i would hook up a MXL 900 series condenser to my MacBook via an XLR to 1/8" cable, would it work? does garageband have some sort of amplification plug-in? or would i need some sort of mixer or otehr phantom power device for it to work?
MacBook 2.0gHz (White) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

condenser mics need phantom power to work at all, it has nothing to do with amplification.
you need an interface or mixer that supplies phantom power, or an external phantom power supply to use your condenser mic.

Phantom power for a USB mic

I'm interested in a USB mic made by SE Electronics USB mic (2200A). It has zero latency because it has a built in headphone jack. The only problem is that it requires 48V phantom power. The only phantom power units I've seen online don't have USB or even 1/4" inputs. (they're all three pin mic inputs) How do I get phantom power for a USB mic?

it doesn't need an external poser supply when used as a USB mic.
I'm assuming you mean "power" supply? And that the mic in question only needs phantom power
if used with a 1/4" adapter going into an interface or preamp, but if directly plugged into the Mac USB port, it needs no other power supply? The salespeople at the store know nothing!

If you are using the included Apple charger, you will simply need a plug adapter.

1. Copy your new version of Silverlight.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\i386
(you'll have to re-distribute the client package after this).
OR
2. You could edit the ccmsetup.xml file with an alternative location for silverlight.exe

Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?

Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?
Thank you.

No.
The entire enclosure is tuned for both external jack placement, EMI-RFI radiation, airflow, and for cooling. You need exactly the correct shell and fans for the electronics you wish to install in it.

You will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on this page when creating it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - without following them you will need to give credit card details (I don't think that debit cards are still accepted)

Looking for a starter keyboard recommendation for use with Garageband

I've got a new iMac running Lion. I'm looking for a keyboard that will work with Garageband that I can buy for as little as possible but will work and be decent. Looking at the Apple Store, I see three that could fit in my price range, the M-Audio Keystation Mini 32, the M-Audio Key Studio 49 USB-Midi, and the Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop. I'd appreciate any feedback about these.

Good, good, and good!
M-Audio in particular makes great "bang for the buck" controllers.
If you spend more, you get a better physical keyboard, which can be more satisfying to play. But for budget models, hard to beat those, particularly the m-audio.
good site to check gear out:

I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi 3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon

I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi 3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon

I'm fairly sure the Verizon CDMA iPad 2 had no GSM sim slot. So it won't work with any other carrier except Verizon.
As far as the AT&T version goes, it should technically work but will not support 4G/LTE cellular bands.
Given iPad 2's are no longer being sold, I doubt any that could be bought would have a warranty still. Or have at most very little of it left.
Why an iPad 2? its now 3 generations behind the current one.
Perhaps an iPad 4 would be a better choice.

Good speakers or Bluetooth speakers to use with GarageBand for iPad?

Hey guys,
I got an electric guitar plugged into my iPad to use as an amp. I play it in a church for a music group who perform for the mass. I need speakers as the ones I am currently using don't play loud enough. If they are bluetooth it would be fine as well. If anyone knows good loud quality speakers please post below!

Yubz Magnum really has great sound. They come in four colors too.

Do I need to power off my iPad after each use?

I bought a new iPad. The problem is after each use I have to power off in Order to connect to internet. Is there something in settings I need to do in Order not to have to shut my iPAd off so often

That shouldn't happen. I almost never turn my iPad off unless I do so for troubleshooting purposes. There is nothing in the settings that you should have to "fix" either as long as WiFi is always turned on.
Try resetting your iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

With a laptop MAC is it better to leave it on and asleep or do you need to power down or hibernate when not using?

I just got a new MacBook Pro. With my netbook, I was told to hibernate or shut down when I was finished. With my PC I was told to turn off the monitor but leave the computer on because each time you shut down and rebooted you wore down the components. My mother is a photographer and keeps her MAC desktop on all the time, and just moves the mouse to bring the screen back to life. She never turns it off unless going out of town. So, with a MacBook (MAC laptop) should I keep the laptop on all the time and just take it out of sleep when I need it, or should I shut down and re-boot in the morning? Thanks.

it's actually up to you. I leave mine turned on all the time and just close the lid when i'm not using it.
if however, you will not use it for days, it's best to power it off.
not the same was windows laptop where we were always told to turn it off.
again, this is user preference.

Need a suggestion for setting up a reimbursement program with an annual cap

Can anyone recommend or have an idea on the best way to handle an employee program which provides for $250 in reimbursements for eligible expenses under the program? A few facts about the program:
1- There is an annual $250 cap per employee
2- The $250 does not need to be used all at once
3- Employee's pay for services themselves first and then submit receipts to HR on a quarterly basis for reimbursement
3- Because expenses do not need to be used all at once, the set up must be able to track expenses for the entire year through a cumulative balance
4- The $250 is subject to payroll taxes (though we are not using Oracle Payroll)
Currently, the entire program is being managed via an excel spreadsheet but we would like to automate the program in Oracle. Ideally, we would like for employees to enter their expenses via Oracle iExpense. However, the system would need to be be able to recognize when an employee is over the annual limit, throw a message to the employee letting them know they are over the annual cap, and only allow the remaining balance to be processed in the expense report.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Barbara

Hmm, if you are not using Oracle Payroll, what are you using for payroll? I am wondering why you could not use your payroll system, whatever it is, to handle this reimbursement program.
Well, you may want to talk to Oracle support about how to handle this in Oracle iExpense. You can certainly handle advances for Expense Reports. You would then apply the advance to the expense report items. The catch is I don't think you can stop expense item entry after the adavance is satisfied. You would have to set up a work flow process of some kind to have the expense reports reviewed and only approve expenses that are applied to the advance, is what I am thinking. Not your ideal solution, but something to think about. It could be the Oracle folks might know of a sneaky way to handle this. What you are trying to do is unusual. Employee advances are common, but the idea of not being able to exceed the advance amount is what unusual about this. Normally you will accept any expenses over the advance amount and reimburse the employee for those extra amounts not advanced.
Good luck.

What drivers do I need to install for my MG6360 printer to work with a Mac with OSX10.8.5?

I have a PIXMA MG6360 printer that needs its software updating to return its full features but the Canon support line in Australia has prescribed several different options with no two alike and none providing the full features I once enjoyed. 'Phone and email support responses are all uniformly poor and I cannot get a straight story from any of the technicians I've encountered so far. Currently, they've stopped responding altogether!
I know where to download the latest software, but I'm not clear about which packages I should install and in what sequence and I cannot locate a definitive answer in the knowledge base.
Can someone tell me which drivers etc I need and the sequence in which I should load them.
I'm assuming that I have to uninstall the existing software and printer from the Mac (MacBook Pro 15", Late 2012 with OSX 10.8.5) first. That's about the only thing the techs agree on so far!
Also, does Canon update its software periodically and provide either automatic downloads or email warnings to update its users?
All help gratefully recieved.

With reference to this article from Apple that lists the models of printer drivers available from Apple for Lion and Snow Leopard, there are a couple of HP Photosmart 55xx printer drivers in the list. So if all was well with your iMac then the driver should be downloaded and installed when you connect to the printer. With this not happening you can try installing this HP Driver update. It contains all the HP models in that driver list - that's why its over 500MB - and it may be just what you need to get this printer connected.
