HT3554 Is there any way to enable my iMac to use an external mic after I have found that it is not compatible? Via some kind of device or upgrade?

I'm trying to use my Apple headphones a mic on GarageBand. After about an hour of researching, I've found that my iMac (Mid 2007) is not compatible with an external audio input/microphone. Is there any way I can make it so I CAN do this, maybe by installing some kind of software or doing an update or something? I'm a song recorder on a budget so these headphones are all I got for a mic. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Check out the mics at Apple's Online store by clicking the store tab at the top of this website.

  • Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

    Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test
    #See:

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • Is there any way to download all previously purchased  audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss

    Is there any way to download all previously purchased audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss, my ipod is not updated and I have lost everything?
    Thanks

    Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
    I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
    Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
    One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

  • Qosmio G20: Is there any way to enable FM radio?

    Is there any way to enable FM radio reception on Qosmio G20. Any hardware upgrade or accessories?

    You would need to attach some sort external fm tuner. Some usb tv cards have fm radio as well, so you might consider this if you want an additional tuner.
    I use a Haupauge WinTV USB2, which also has an fm tuner. If you want to use this with Media Centre there are specific drivers on the Hauppauge site that set this up a second tv tuner within Media Centre, and also give you fm radio in MC.
    Alternatively if you use the drivers that come with it you can use as a stand alone tv tuner and fm radio player.

  • Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

    Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
    I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

  • Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to burn DVD?

    Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to export FCE to DVD?
    I've been trying to burn a FCE2 sequence to DVD. A friend of mine told me all I had to do was put a blank DVD in, click on the icon on the desk top, export the sequence to Quicktime and drag the QT sequennce into the DVD icon and click burn.
    Well something happened! But there's nothing on the DVD!! What am I doing wrong? I loathe iDVD. i don't want to author. I just want to burn the project on a DVD. Please advise. Thanks.

    If you export a sequence at full resolution to can burn it onto a DVD as a data DVD, but this is for transportation purposes only. At full resolution the DVD, especially as it fills up, will not have sufficient throughput to sustain good playback of the material. That's why the material is encoded into MPEG-2 for DVD authoring. If you want to make a DVD for set-top playback it has to be authored to include the DVD format structure. There is no way around that. If you don't like iDVD, take a look at Final Cut Studio, you might prefer DVD Studio Pro. Or you might what to look at Roxio's Toast. It has basic authoring capabilities. Personally I don't think direct playback hardware solutions (except for seriously expensive ones) produce acceptable quality, but that's just me.

  • Is there any way to generate Gantt chart by using oracle 9iDS?

    Is there any way to generate Gantt chart by using oracle 9i reports builder
    Can you please send me the link or more information on oracle 9iDS.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Oracle9iDS itself doesn't support creating Gantt charts. The option oyu have is to use Oracle Graphics 6i, because there is no Graphics in 9i, and configure it to run with Oracle9i Forms. There exist a whitepaper at otn.oracle.com/products/forms that explains how to make Graphics 6i work with Forms 9i.

  • Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

    Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

    That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file.  First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
    Click to view full size
    If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

    2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
    Thanks a lot for any help!
