Garageband does not see my USB mic

I am trying to use a Logitech combination camera mic in Garageband. The mic shows up in the recording system panel but it will not let me select the mic and when I force set it in the system preferences panel it shows up as Logitech camera doesn't work. Any Ideas?

Thanks for responding,
I have never plugged the power plug in even though it came with it.
It has never been needed, but I did try it just to see and it did not help.
I just thought there may be something that I needed to able up, etc.
I also noticed on the sys. profiler that the items do not show there.
Somehow it just doesn't see the hub.

Mavericks does not "see" install USB for VMware fusion 5

I was running older version of Fusion 3 and upgraded to Mavericks. I was provided fusion 5 and want to install on macbook air (2010 4GB RAM). when I plug the USB drive into mac I just get a "USB not ejected properly" message. obviously I would use the DVD but it is macbook and do not have an external dvd. Any suggestions? I uninstalled fusion 3.0 before installing USB.

Hi Michel!
Thank you for the reply.
I tried apps: The Apple one and the Remote Buddy one. In short, we don't like it at all (in long, app works most of the times, but not always or not always immediately, might be our wifi, not sure + our mobiles are notorious for being out of battery and hanging on a charge cable of sorts + we prefer not to have the mobile with us when watching a movie as mobiles are huge distractors from real quality time + if someone says something or calls and you wish to just press pause, the app is not in the foreground and you need to fiddle around with the phone for 10 sec (and calls tend to be on the "remote" which makes it even more fiddely)... the app model just does not work for us).
I tried the Wii remote, but don't like it as well (the drains battery in 3-4 days, often does not work and needs to be reconnected).
At the moment, I am going for a USB IR receiver to get back our hotly loved Apple remote...
If the IR receiver option does not work smoothly, I would go for the Satechi! (I believe I have already order a bluetooth remote (not sure...). The Satechi model is not listed as being supported by Remote Buddy but looks good so I would try that one next.
I will aim to post what works best for us in the end in case someone is interested...

System preferences -Sound does not see external USB speakers

The computer internal speakers are working OK but the problems come when I try to use external USB speakers. The previous volume problem of the imnternal speakers resolved itself.
I have now purchased a new USB set of speakers (BOSE Companion 20) but now they will only work through the "headphone" slot at the rear of my Imac and then only thru one speaker.(right)
I have reset the PRAM - anyway I followed all the instructions and it was not solved.
In "Sounds" in system preferences the Imac cannot see the USB speakers - it only recognises the internal speakers for output.
I think until "sounds" recognises the USB Speakers I will not get both speakers working.
I insert the USB speaker wiring pin in the Headphones slot at the back of the Imac and as mentioned sound only comes thru the right USB speaker -nothing works when I put the pin in the speakers slot alongside the Headphones slot.
Any help apprecaited

Adobe PS CS4 does not "see" my USB Drives in Finder

For some bizarre reason, PS CS4 is no longer "finding" my USB 2TB drive in the Finder/Devices window on my iMac (nothing is showing in devices). However, it is seeing my my WD NAS drives, and if I go into Finder on my own, it shows the USB drives. The WD drives are a 2TB MyBook, and a 3TB MyCloud. I have had some issues with _those_ drives showing up in Finder but its usually a WD firmware issue... and its usually the older MyBook drive that gives me problems. Anyway... the aforementioned 2TB USB drive also appears (as it should) on the RHS of my iMac screen. The drive is working just fine, and I have tried powering off the computer and the USB drive... still doesn't show using Photoshop. I can search within finder for the file I want, and right-click to open in "Adobe Photoshop" but I'm so used to grabbing, editing, and saving files from within CS4 that I'm baffled that this drive all of a sudden can't be "seen" from within PS CS4. Previously it had been, so I have to assume its some settings or preferences issue?

As noted above, I am now able to "see" the missing USB drive(s) in Finder so that seems to be resolved. However, a few new issues have cropped up:
1. Not all my installed fonts are in my font listing, but I'll assume I can easily remedy that by activating them (I hope). I have the sneaking suspicion I deleted some by mistake.
2. Safari seems to have gone weird... the upper section is flashing like crazy when I try to type in a URL, also the sidebars flash when I scroll up or down with mouse. I've installed Chrome so I have a stable browser for the time being.
3. No matter what I seem to do in preferences, every new image I open does so within the same window so I have to manually drag it out to compare images. How do I fix that permanently?
4. When I first opened PS this morning I kept getting some sort of error popup that couldn't complete the request?
Is it safe now to remove the new user account?

Garageband does not show loops in browser

Hi all,
I'm running 2.02 and I just downloaded the Jampack freebies from .mac. I installed as instructed (drug the loops to the loop browser), however, garageband does not 'see' the new loops. They are not in the loop browser. I checked help which explained that when they are drug into the loop browser the loop index gets updated. I'm not sure this has happened correctly. Is there a way to force the program to update the index based on what it finds in the library/Apple Loops directory?
Elsewise....any suggestions? I've tried restarting the program. I've hit reset in the loop browser, and I've made sure that the 'key filter' whatever parm in the preferences is not checked.
bigtiny

What you are seeing is the normal behavior of the program. If you create a song in C in 4/4 time you will see most of your loops. Garageband keeps them organized by key and time signature. I lose most of my loops when I make a song in 3/4 or 6/8 time and in a minor key like Em.
You can get more of them to show up by unchecking the filter option in the preferences:
1. Open Garageband
2. In the Garageband menu select 'preferences'.
3. In the general section of preferences uncheck the filter for more relevant results.
I have not discovered anything that will force loops to show up in unusual keys. Some of the drum loops should show up but don't. It is possible the loops were not given the 'any key' tag. Unusual rhythms also wreak havoc on the loops selection.
For this reason, when you make your own loops be sure to select all the parameters you want the loops to show up in.

MBP Does Not Recognize External USB Devices

MBP does not "see" external USB devices (such as Garmin Nuvi GPS) or any thumb drive. No external USB devices show up in Finder nor does Disk Utility see them. No cable issues. Have tried restarting several times, but to no avail. This MBP used to recognize these USB devices, but no longer do so.
I have seen this question posed several times in forum, but no suitable answer. Don't know if it is H/W or S/W problem.

Hi Terry Temple
Is there at least any power going to the USB ports? ( as in if for example you plug in a USB light, will it switch on? )
If there is power in the USB ports it might be a software problem.
Try resetting the SMC see link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
also try re-set the PRAM see link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
However if you do not have any power at all it probably is a hardware problem.
Is it still under warranty?
Regards,
Andrew

New Iphone 3G - Army Laptop - USB Disabled- ITunes does not see Iphone

I have a new Iphone 3G and am trying to sync up my Outlook Address Book, however my computer is a US Army Laptop that has the USB disabled. The XP operating system recognizes the device as a camera but ITunes does not see the Iphone. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?

You will have to use a different computer that isn't from DoD. As you know they have disabled USB ports except for mice/keyboards because of various world wide issues, they are being very strict about this and I don't see them enabling it for an iPhone when they wouldn't let me use them for 5 minutes to get some data from an old dying machine.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

TS1538 after a restore, the itouch screen has a "USB arrow to iTunes" picture. Now iTunes does not see the itouch and my itouch is non-responsive

New Airport Extreme (2014) does not see USB Drive

Just fired up my new 2014 Airport Extreme and attached a Toshiba 3 TB USB Drive. My new (late 2013 iMac) does not see the new drive in Disk Utility.
The Extreme works in all other ways; ie, as a router, as a wireless node.
It came to me formated as a Windows drive, so I attached it directly to my MacBook Pro (which saw the drive) and reformated it as a Mac Drive (Journaled, GUILD). It showed up just fine on the MacBook Pro desktop.
When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
Help Please

When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
That drive will not show up in Disk Utility on the Mac.....since the Toshiba hard drive becomes a network drive when it is attached the AirPort Extreme.
Disk Utility will not display a network drive. It will only display drives that are connected directly to your iMac via USB, FireWire, etc.
Check using AirPort Utility to see if the AirPort Exteme recognizes the drive.
Open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window that appears
The drive will appear here if it is recognized by the AirPort Extreme.
In the example below, my WD Drive is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.

My new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible

my new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible
i'tried several usb flash drives even brand new ones, they are visible onder hardware info but they are not on the desktop nor in the finder.
what is wrong and doe anyone has a solution ?

It does not show up in disk utility, its only visible through systeminformation.
When you plug in the USB flash drive and then refresh systeminformation it becomes visible.
To remove it I shut down the computer because I cannot eject the USB device anywhere.
After starting up again when I have removed the flash drive it has gone from the systeminfo USB list.
By the way my USB mouse and keyboard are working fine, I also changed ports of these and they still keep on working so I don't think the USB ports are defect.
I guess it some kind software problem, and because I'm new to Apple I do not know much about it how to solve this.

I am trying to connect to a network using a Linksys PLEBR10 usb "powerline" device. My MacBook Pro does not "see" the device. Anyone have a solution?
