Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN besides from the built-in mic?

Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN aside from the built-in mic? 
Also, are any special cables needed?
Thanks,
John

Hi
You should be able to check by going to about this mac from the Apple menu. Then click the more info button and then the system report button. Next, click on audio tab to the left. If you don't have an entry for built in input then you probably don't have line-in in your mac. As already mentioned though you should be able to defiantly find out with the model and year.
Hope this helps

  • Does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? (is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC?

    does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack?  If so, is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC then to stereo?

    My suggestion to work around this problem would be to hook up an Airport Express. The AE also has an optical out the same as your iMac. As long as your wireless connection is robust enough you should be able to stream from your iMac to your AE and then have the optical cable connect between your AE and your DAC, which then connects to your Integrated Amp/Receiver/Pre-Amp (depending on your system configuration).
    I assume because you are using the optical out and connecting to an external DAC that you are looking for a high level of Audio quality ?

    Hi ..
    Yes it does. The phone call is spam.
    If you contact your phone carrier, they may be able to block the caller.

  • How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?

    How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.

    Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
    For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView
    Kappy's instructions are handy for checking the original configuration of your computer, but that may have been changed at some time, especially if you bought it secondhand.

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • Can a spyware be used against an iPhone or does the built-in antivirus protect us?

    In a recent research (link below) it was established that many repressive governments have used a spyware program called Remote Control System (RCS) that was developed by a company called Hacking Team to spy on and target activists.
    My question is: can this spyware and similar ones really be used against my iPhone or does the built-in antivirus actually protects me?
    Additional information:
    Jailbreak was NOT performed on the device. 
    Link:
    https://citizenlab.org/2014/02/mapping-hacking-teams-untraceable-spyware/

    The report you cited makes no mention of iPhone or iOS, and the exploits cited involve the use of "Adobe Flash in Word document" with an .exe file payload. Such exploits are nothing new. Since neither Adobe Flash nor .exe files run on iOS, the report's applicability to iPhones is nil.
    Similar "research" and its many variants often describe a method by which malicious software can be installed on an iPhone by altering its firmware. Doing so is commonly referred to using the catchall "jailbreak" term and cannot be accomplished without physical possession of the iPhone.
    Short of physical possession of your iPhone nothing remotely resembling what is often portrayed in popular media can be accomplished. It's all Hollywood B.S. Despite that fact, many people desperately want to believe otherwise.
    On the other hand physical possession of an iPhone for an amount of time sufficient to modify its firmware, several minutes at least, makes literally anything possible. If an iPhone must pass from its manufacturer to an intermediate entity, one of the 21 alleged "government users" of the subject software perhaps, prior to an end user taking final possession of it, I suppose it can be a legitimate concern. If you suspect that occurred, restoring the iPhone as a new device will remove any alterations, but it could also render the iPhone permanently inoperable. Either outcome will eliminate any uncertainty.

  • Does the Built-in Windows FTP Client Support a Secure Connection?

    I have set up Server 2008 IIS w/ FTP. I set the SSL setting to require a secure connection. However, I can't connect to the FTP server from the built-in Windows FTP client. I CAN get it to work in FileZilla after modifying my connection properties.
    Does the built-in Windows FTP client support secure connections? I received a request to set this up so our internal employees can share files with external customers. Many times our customers are unable to install any kind of third party software on their
    computers.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi,
    Based on my known, the built-in FTP client does not support secure connections.

    If it does not help, you could ask in IIS forums as Meinolf Weber mentioned.

  • Does the built in firewall work with other cards

    Hi,
    First post and probably a dumb one, but couldn't find an answere: does the built in firewall (MSI 7030) work exclusively with the built in NIC? I am using a WiFi Netgear MA111 dongle - but couldn't force the firewall to work with it. It does work fine with the built in NIC but I don't want to drag the cable through my flat.....
    BTW: great forum, as I switched from Abit NF7S to the MSI K8N - i started to use this one and found some really great ideas!!!
    Regards,
    Bartek

    no.  the firewall is part of the nic.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to activate / deactivate the built in mic?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to activate / deactivate the built in mic?

    Ah somewhat confusing. Your question seemed to indicate you were looking for a way to disable the mic, not that it wasn't working with some apps.
    Have you tried any of the Apple apps, Garage Band or Dictation? Do they work? If the input volume indicator under the mic in  System Preferences is moving in response to your voice then the problem is not that the mic is disabled or muted, the sound is getting into the system.
    Does the Input Volume move while you have one of the non-working apps opened? Have you installed any 3rd party sound apps or kernel extensions?
    Are the mic settings in Audio MIDI setup 44100.0 HZ and 2ch-24 bit?
    I would start by seeing if the mike works with one of the apps I mentioned above or download something like Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder to test it out.

  • Using the built in mic.

    I would like to use the built in mic of the mac to make some audio recordings (television, talk, and sound from laptop speakers).
    Could anyone please recommend the quickest and easiest way to do this?
    I would rather not download any more software if possible and certainly cant buy anymore for the moment. I also dont have quicktime pro, just the standard free version that comes with the computer.
    Thanks

    You can use Garage Band, which is part of iLife that comes with the Mac. Tell it to create a Podcast, then add a new Real Instrument Track (+ at left center), and click the Record button.
