How do you connect a microphone to a Mac?

How do you connect a microphone to the Mac?  I'm trying to record vocals onto Garage Band.  I tried to use an adapter (XLR to MONO 3.5 mm) to connect directly to the port on the side of the MacBook Pro.

I prefer USB mics - a really cool and nice one that I used to have was the Blue Snowball, available at Amazon for a great price. It got lost in a move but I intend on getting another.

  • How do you connect your iPhone to a mac so the calendar gets updated wirelessly

    How do you connect your iphone to a mac so the calender gets updated wirelessly?

    If you mean using iCloud, you go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then turn Calendars (and anything else you want to sync with iCloud) on.  Then on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud sign in with your iCloud ID and check Calendars (and anything else you want to sync with iCloud).
    This requires iOS 5 or higher on your phone and OS X 10.7.5 or higher on your Mac.

  • How do you connect multiple devices to the mac?

    I have a mac desktop and a laptop and two external hard drives.  I would like to connect them so that I can use the laptop and desktop simultaneously and save to either of the hard drives.  Also, would like to retrieve files off of one EXT, work on it, and save it to the other EXT.  Is that possible or am I trying to do something that can't be done?  Thank you.

    All of what you want to is very possible and done by many people every day. You connect over your network, your home or busines LAN (Local Area Network) to share files, folders, drives and connect both externals to either one Mac or one external to each Mac then when you want to save a file to the other Mac, or to an external drive connect to the other Mac, or to another drive connected to the same Mac you Broswe for that other Mac, drive, folder over the network or on the same Mac. You do all that from a Finder window or the Save As dialog box that opens when you select Save As in a program you are using.

  • How can i connect a microphon on my mac mini?

    I would like to be connected with Skype, but i can configure my microphone. Do some of you know how can i do that connetion?

    The "mic" input on the mini is actually a general purpose line level input.  It will require a battery powered mic to work properly.  You can also use a usb mic.  Adjustments are made from System Preferences > Sound > Input.

  • How do you connect two Apple ID's?

    How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

    Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
    The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

  • How do you connect ipad 2 to itunes library using home sharing

    How do you connect the ipad 2 to the itunes library using home sharing so you can listen on your ipad 2? I've seen directions for the ipad which tell you how to setup home sharing then open ipod and touch library in the left column, but when I hit library, nothing happens. I'm assuming the ipad 2 has something different about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS, the OS is 4.3.3 (just got it but it's not on the os list)

    See iTunes 9- Understanding Home Sharing and iTunes- Troubleshooting Home Sharing.  Also, open iTunes, select iTunes Help from the Help menu and search for "home shar."

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

    Your question makes no sense. You "connect" an iOS device to iTunes on your computer via WiFi or by using the supplied cable.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • How can you connect your iPod touch to your Vista computer without using Apple Software

    How do you connect an iPod touch to your Vista computer without using any Apple products

    There is no other legit way to sync your iPod than using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to transfer content from the iPod to your computer, but not from the computer to your iPod.
    Disk mode is not supported.
