How do I get my Synth Hardware to play through my Mac Soundsystem?
I want to use my drum machines and hardware synths through my Mac just like all the plug-in/Virtual Synths... But I don't know how to accomplish this...
I have your standard 1/4" output plugs on my Synth Gear (Hardware) and want to get it to play through core audio like my Virtual Synths do. Also, I'd like to control and record them through my DAW.
What is the best way to accomplish this "feat"?
Thanks in advance!
Question:
I take it you have a set of decent external speakers plugged into the Mac Pro, right?
My question is... isn't the Alesis MultiMix6 a full fledged audio interface?
If you're using Logic Nine you set the Preferences/Audio/Input to the Alesis as it should be your primary recording interface. The output can be set to the Mac's built-in audio. Then the audio outs of the drum machine, (as well as any other audio outs) are plugged into the Alesis.
But here's the thing... why do you spend money on a mixer/audio interface and then try and use the cheap built-in audio of the Mac for anything? The Alesis is designed to be the center hub of the studio.
Your speakers should be plugged into the audio interface so that when using Logic the Alesis is both the Main input and Main output, your audio will sound better. If you need to monitor the Macs output maybe you can set it up in the Mac's audio setup. (monitor the mac through the USB connection.)

How do I get my iphone 4 to play through the ear piece?
I bought an iPhone 4 yesterday.
I cannot get it to play through the headset (ANY headset; I have tried several). I have tried it in the ipod and the phone mode and checked all the settings. The finger tips explain nothing and I can find no other information to tell me how to make it play through the headset. It seems as though I should only have to plug in the headset and I should be able to hear through the headset rather than the iphone itself.
I've had over 25 Apple (hardware) products over many years, and this is truly the most difficult to comprehend or use.
It must be some simple button to tap on.Please click here to check on How to use a dock adapter with an Apple® iPod® player or iPhone® mobile device with the ICFC05IP Clock Radio.

Why doesn't my airport express work with itunes 4.1 and why can't I update the version I have to 4.6? Each time I find a site with 4.6 and click download it downloads as the earleir 4.1 version and not the newer one.
You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it. -
How do i get my ipod touch to play on the car radio
How do I get my Ipad touch to play through the car radio?
You can buy something like this Belkin Cable here, which I use, and plug it into your car's Aux port if it has one. They can also be found in most electronics stores.
If your car doesn't have an Auxillary port, you can buy something like the Griffin iTrip, which allows you to set your iPod to transmit on a specific FM frequency, and you can just tune your car to that station. You can find that anywhere electronics are sold. -

How can I get an .flv file to play on my Mac?
If all you wan't to do is view the .flv video file and do nothing else to it, video players like VLC and Niceplayer will do the trick. Installing the PERIAN extension to Quicktime will also do the trick.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.
It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

When iTunes was upgraded to the lastest (11.0), many of of songs/music/audiobooks were deleted! I tried syncing my phone to my computer to get them back, but many of those were deleted too! How do I get my purchases back to play them???
It shows on iTunes SOME of my past purchases, but not all (looks like around 30-40% of purchases). It shows on my apple id purchase history everything i have purchased; but in iTunes, some not all of these show up. What does show up is kind of "greyed out", so NOTHING will actually play. I have followed the steps in the iTunes support about how to redownload past purchases, but this dowsn't work, as the download button is also "greyed out".
I am extremly angry and upset about this issue. Could someone please help / advise re how to fix????I'm hoping that this may be just a misunderstanding somewhere.
Could you show an image showing these greyed out items? -

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too. -

It may help to turn iTunes Match off, then back on.

i restored my mac and all my music wiped from my mac and is still on my phone. how do i get the music from my phone to my mac i really need it!
Did you not have a Time Machine backup of your Macbook Pro or a clone backup on an external HD?
To copy music from the iPhone to your Mac -- except purchases from the Apple Store -- you need third-party software.
