HELP! Connecting Elec. Guitar to Mac/GarageBand

Trying to get my elec. guitar to work with GarageBand. Everything seems to be connected and set right, but no sound. I am using an M-Audio FireWire Solo interface. Have GB preferences set: Output to Built-In Output, Input set to FireWire Solo Analog 1/2. GB Guitar Track input set to Mono 1 (FireWire Solo Analog 1/2). Monitor is on (also tried On with feedback protection.)
Nada... What am I missing here?!

Similar problem. I have an M-Audio Fast Track. How do I configure the interface or Garageband to always default to Mono-2? It defaults to Mono-1 and some of the Garageband screens don't offer the ability to switch the input, only to select the USB input. Am I missing something?

Help connecting dumb terminal to Mac

I have an eMate 300 with a vt100 terminal emulator and I want to connect it to my Mac with a direct serial connection. I have a Keyspan USB to RS-422 and the eMate connects beautifully with NCX and the TTY.Keyserial1 is in /etc/TTY. I have seen that people have used the terminal emulator on the eMate to start a session on the Mac, this would be great for me except no one s ys how they got it to work.
What settings do I need to enable Mac OS X to accept incoming direct serial connections?

Need help connecting 23" ACD to Mac book pro

I have a 17" MBP and a 23" ACD the ACD works beautifully with my G5 tower. Now when I try to connect it to my MBP nothing happens. The display power indicator is on but the screen is black. When I tell the MBP to detect displays nothing happens. What am I missing?

I have the same issue. A little more interesting on mine, which you can try with another monitor, find an analog monitor and using the DVI to Analog adapter that came with your computer, connect it to the analog monitor. Mine works with an analog monitor connection through the adapter but not to a straight dvi connection.

There is no audio line input on your Mac, get a USB interface, get one that is specified for guitars.

Need help connecting guitar, a/i, speaker together.

I'm new to this forum, and sure this has been covered, but i couldn't find what i'm trying to do. I want to connect my guitar to garageband, then output it live to either my stereo. I have an airport express connected to stereo if that helps me or not. At this point i can connect the guitar into my m-audio fast track usb, then into garageband. this works fine for playing through the built in speakers or headphones. I'm having problems finding a way to output live to speakers. Do i need to buy apple speakers to connect directly to my powerbook or can i output to my stereo. Also i might buy an amplifier to play on soon, and was wondering on how to connect that so that i can still go through garageband. I'm new to both garageband and playing guitar so any help would be greatly appreciated. - aaron
ps also if any one knows of garageband friendly sites that will show tab and strumming patterns to to learn to play popular songs that would be cool too.

Either go out from the Macs audio out or your fast track to your stereo.

Help with recording guitar on GarageBand using M-Audio Firewire Solo

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help me. I recently bought a new mac mini and M-Audio Firewire Solo to record music. I'm new at recording so I have no idea what to do.
The problem is when I record playing the guitar, the sound is so low, I can barely hear the guitar playing when I play it back. I turned the gain to maximum level and I still can barely hear the guitar record. I know it's recording because I can hear the guitar when I play the record back, but the sound is way too low.
The weird thing is that the microphone works fine and when I record vocals, I can hear the playback fine.
Did I miss anything? Is there a good setting for recording guitars using M-Audio Firewire Solo? Is it because M-Audio Firewire Solo is not compatible with the latest Mac Mini system?
Please help! Thank you!

I connect the guitar to the guitar input that is in front of M-Audio firewire solo using this cable: http://www.livewire-usa.com/products/products.cfm?sBrand=adv . Then I turn gain up to the maximum level.
When I play the guitar, you know the bar that goes green on garageband (not sure what it's called)? Even if I strum really hard, the green never goes up past 1/4 of the bar. When I'm using the mic and speak a bit loudly, I can see that bar turning red. So it seems like it's not reading the input properly, but really I'm not sure, so hopefully you'll be able to help me
I'm actually using the mac mini's speaker to hear the sound, so I'm not sure if it's only coming from one speaker or not.
Sorry if I miss any important detail. I'm a newbie. And as always, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions!

hi, i bought a irig to connect my guitar on my macbook pro 2012, but when i use the irig in my mac, it doesnt recognize, so i cant choose it on preferences of sound, what can i do? (the sound of my guitar goes by IRIG but I can not hear due to feedback and when I try to record another track on the garageband, the sounds recorded on the new track is catching the sound of another track recorded)

Turn the internal mic level off. Use headphones as monitors.

Need help connecting guitar rig interface to play electric guitar

I am having trouble connecting a guitar rig session interface. Garageband is not recognizing the connection. i have made sure the usb and guitar cables work. i have changed the sound input settings on both the system and garage band. when i plug in my keyboard directly with the usb, garageband recognizes it immediately. i have triple checked all the obvious settings on all devices. It seems that the interface is working, but im having a tough time recognizing it on garageband. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

i reinstalled the guitar rig sessions driver and finally had garageband recognize the device, but still have not gotten input or sound. i have read the manual, but could not locate an answer.

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Not much you can do. You overwrote your current data with older data when you restored the phone from that backup. Your data's gone.

Connecting Electric Guitar to Garageband on G5 iMac

I've seen other discussions about this, but cannot figure out this seemingly simple process.
-I connected the guitar via 1/4 to 1/8 cables into the "line in" port on the back of the iMac.
-I chose "real instrument" when adding a new track in garageband
-I made sure that the sound input preferences under system preferences correctly states "line in" (and not internal audio/speakers).
-I have the drop down menu set to "Monitor On" and the Sound menu to "Stereo"
(even when I mess with these settings nothing gets recorded).
When I hit record nothing comes through the computer - nothing gets recorded.
Do I need the Griffin iMac or similar device?
Any suggestions?

it depends which iMac you're using:

When I connect my guitar to garageband all the sound are cut. What canI do?

Command I will open the master window on the right. Make sure under "I"nfo lower right corner next to monitor, make sure it is not turned off. If you are playing an elctric guitar, don't bother with the no feedback setting.
Make sure the volume in system prefs is up and not muted. (system prefs.sound.output)

Help connecting Canon iR-ADV C5030/5035 to Mac

Help connecting Canon iR-ADV C5030/5035 to Mac
When adding this printer via IP, 'Windows' and also the advance tool everything seems to work correctly. Once printing it goes through as if it has printed yet nothing comes out. As if it isnt communicating with the printer. Have also downloaded drivers from the canon website for the printer for mac.
Adding another cannon printer (Canon iR C3200 PCL) the same way works fine and am able to print from this printer.
Any ideas or suggestions to help solve this problem?
Thanks

With Dept ID enabled, you need to open Printers & Scanners, select the C5035 printer in the list and then click on Options & Supplies. Then select the Utility tab and then Open Printer Utility. With the Canon utility open you will see the Printer Information button. Press this to open the Printer Information window that will confirm Dept ID Management is enabled in the copier as shown below.
Click OK to close the Printer Information window and then enable the Dept ID setting and enter your Dept ID and PIN. You will have the option to verify that your ID / PIN is correct and select not to use Dept ID printing when printing in B&W only. With the settings entered press the Save Settings button and then Quit the Canon driver utility.
Now open a document and select to print. Change the print dialog to Special Features and ensure that the Dept ID Management setting is enabled as shown below. You can also press the Settings button to check that your ID / PIN is set and you can verify it works. If all is good then see if you can print from this Mac.
