How do i get MacBook Pro to recognize an iRig as an input device?

I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks with the combo headphone-out/mic-in port.  I am trying to connect an iRig using this port to track guitar in Logic or GarageBand but when i plug in the iRig it is only seen by the computer as a headphone out (there is no line input or external mic detected). This same iRig works flawlessly on my iPhone so i know it is not broken.  Similarly, i plugged my iPhone earbuds-with-microphone into the port on the MacBook Pro and it recognizes both the headphones and external mic so the port seems to work ok.
Any ideas????

Make sure the power is off the irig and then plug it in.  
took me a few tries, restarting the computer etc.  brand new Mavericks 13"
Now it seems to recognize it on the computer as an input.
Logic seems to be listening to it (when I jiggle the cable)
but I still can't get a mic to work....
I'll let you know...

  • Can't get MacBook Pro to recognize Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset

    Hello all,
    I am trying to get my MacBook Pro to recognize a Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset. Bluetooth is ON and "discoverable" on my mac. When I go to system preferences and click "bluetooth", then "devices", the headset won't show up (it is turned ON). I tried clicking "Set up new device..." and won't work either.
    Any tips on how i can make this work?
    Thanks a lot!

    You need to put the H500 into discoverable mode:
    turn it off
    hold "call button" for 5 seconds or until the sold blue circle light appears
    now go do the bluetooth set up on your Mac....your H500 will show up and then just click thru continue....

  • How to get MacBook Pro to recognize full 1366x768 resolution of Plasma?

    When I hook up my MacBook Pro via DVI to my 1366 x 768 pixel Samsung plasma screen, the computer recognizes it as a Samsung PDP at 1024x768. The resulting image is stretched to fit the full 1366 horizontal pixels and thus ruins the aspect ratio. I know that I can switch the display mode on the Samsung to display 4x3 with black bars on the side, but what I really want is for the computer to take advantage of the full 1366x768. How do I do that?

    Check your documentation. Most Samsung 1366x768 monitors do not support the full native resolution in DVI mode unless using a specific card to drive them made by PixelPerfect Digital.
    I'm not entirely sure why that may be, but it does figure prominently in the product information on the Samsung product site.

  • How can I get MacBook Pro trackpad to recognize 4 finger tap as app switcher?

    On my Bluetooth trackpad I have it configured so that a 4 finger tap is the app switcher.
    I want to configure the trackpad on my new macBook Pro to do the same, so that when I am away from my desk and using only the laptop I can have a 4 finger tap be the gateway to an app switcher.
    Do I need to download some new capabilities to enable this 4 finger tap?
    The MBP trackpad does not seem to accept any 4 finger tap commands.

  • How do I get MacBook Pro to use Alpha Network wifi usb adapter?

    Using OS X.  Alpha Network usb wifi adapter using Ralink wireless utility.  Network utility says it is connected as 802.11 n WLAN.  But my browsers (Safari and Firefox) do not use the adapter to connect to the internet.  How do I turn off the internal wifi card and get the OS to recognize the usb adapter?

    you have to have the right drivers for your usb data stick.....check the website of the manufacturer for drivers.
    to disable your wifi, click on the wifi icon and select, turn wifi off.
    good luck..

  • How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive?

    How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive? I'm working on transferring my music from our home computer to my new laptop and I already got all my music onto the hard drive but now, when I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it doesn't recognize it. There isn't an icon that pops up and nothing happens at all. The blue light on the hard drive that indicates that it knows it is plugged into something comes up but that's about it. Someone told me I might have to "format" it but I don't know what that means and I don't know how to do it. I just want to get my music from the hard drive to my laptop so please help!

    I don't know about your first question... I went to finder, preferences, then general but I didn't see anything for the hard drive. 
    Huh, in the Finder menu, Preferences, you will see this:
    Nope, disk utility cannot see it. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but it still won't recognize it.puter that's a Mac...
    If DU cannot see it then the preferences is just an academic exercise.
    If this is a USB drive then as mentioned above you may need a powered USB hub since there may not be enough power from the USB to run the drive.  What else do you have plugged into the USB ports?  If there's some stuff you can unplug it then do it and see if your drive mounts.
    What do you mean from a Windows machine? It's a Toshiba hard drive and I put my music on it from my home computer that's a Mac...
    Which is all I wanted to know, i.e., whether the drive came from a Winows machine.  So it's been formatted and created on a mac.  Therefore it should mount on this other mac machine.  So it most likely is a power problem.

    how do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone to I can transfer photos from the phone

    you could try this:
    http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
    there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
    or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to
    sync your music , photos, videos, etc
    hope one of these works for you

  • How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?

    Hey, I know there are other posts on what enclosure you can use and if it's a possibility, but I haven't seen any that tell me how I get OS X on the SSD without a disc? Can I download the installer on a flash drive somehow? Also, I am wondering if this really is a good idea, using my Macbook Pro's HDD for a backup HDD, instead of buying one? I have no use for it anyway, if and when I get a new SSD. BTW, the HDD is the upgraded factory 500gb 7200rpm. Also, do you think it's smarter to have a bigger backup drive than internal drive? In other words, I would like to get a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD, and my current HDD is only 500GB.... I am a musician and need a lot of storage for musical purposes. I use Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9, Office, and Photoshop.... My Macbook Pro is a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15.4' 2.2ghz quad core i7 8gb RAM. Oh yeah and a mother thing is, I think I should get an enclosure that has a thunderbolt port with usb, what are your thoughts?

    How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?
    Get an externel enclosure at the same time.
    You can order from OWC
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Put the SSD in the externel enclosure and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner,  to clone the internal drive and all it content to the SSD.  Then swap them out.
    Always good to have more than one backup.

    Hi,
    Simply put(copy) the content of the UVIsoundbaks folder to where you want it. Then delete the original content. Make aliases of the content at its' new location, and move (copy) all those aliases back into the originating folders. Then delete the original aliases. That should do it.
    I'm confused about this.
    First, I put the content where I want. Got it.
    Then delete it?
    I don't have the room to put it where the application tells me to put it (not enough room on the HD), so I need to put the sample content on a external hard drive.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You'll need to make sure that both your printer and iPad are connected to the same wifi network (your home wifi). When this is complete, your printer should see your iPad.
