How do you listen to music on line-in port

On my old G4 AGP running OS9, I was able to listen to an audio source plugged into the line-input port on the pack of the computer using headphones plugged into the speaker output. My G4MDD(FW800) running 10.4.11 will not do this. Using the Soun Preference, I am able to look at the Input panel and see the bar graph indicating audio is being fed to the computer, but nothing I have tried allows me to hear that audio either with the internal speaker or my headphones. The Sound Effects all work nicely on the speaker or the headphones so the computer is probably not broken. What's the secret?

Vielen dank, Stefan. My MDD is playing my satellite radio very nicely now. I can understand that Apple might want to prevent feedback that would occur if some idiot plugs in a mike and sticks it in front of the speakers, but I had no such purpose.
Apple should put this feature back in and trust us.

    How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?
    I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
    It seems like this should be possible.

    Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

  • How can you listen to music without headphones?

    How can you listen to music without headphones?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How do you listen to music that was on your iphone and ended up in the cloud, and is no longer on the phone

    daughters iphone 4 had an update, in the process of the update all of her music and apps went into the icloud. How do we get these back on her phone and out of the cloud.

  • How can you listen to music when you don't have an Internet or cellular connection?

    Is it possible to access your library and Match?

    Yes, just not all of it.
    As you play music from the cloud, it gets saved to your device so the next time you play it, you don't need to be connected to the internet. That's why there's a setting to "show all music" - if you turn that off, you'll just see the songs that you have with you already, and can play without internet access.
    You can also choose to download songs, albums or entire playlists, and those will be available later when you don't have a connection.

    PS: did ask the same question to apple hotline in germany. Answer: we don´t know... funny

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.
