HT3625 I don't have a "Use audio for:" menu in my system preferences
When I go to system preferences and try to follow all of the directions in the article, there isn't any menu or anything that says "Use audio for:" when I'm on the input tab of the sound preferences. How can I get my MBP use the audio input instead of detecting it as an audio output?

Here is a pin description of the 4 pin connector, there impedence and shunting that needs to be taken into consideration, not to mention the response curve that this is optomized for,ie:headset mic response. There could be potential damaged cause by incorrect matching and shunting (shorting certain pins to ground) you might consider calling Apple and see what their response is. You can even try experimenting at your own risk, I myself can make no recomendation and would advise against it as you could risk damaging your device. I found no data that would allow an informed decision on my part. The audio quality would most likely be sub par for a music type of application anyways, as it is most likey optomized for the headset mic as prviously mentioned.
USB interfaces are cheap and most sound good and will definatly provide a safe and flexible way to get in.
IMHO

HT3625 But my Mac in the Sound Input menu does not have the "Use audio for" menu option.
I want to use the audio port in my MacBook Pro 13 to record stereo sound, under the Preference>Sound> Input menu, there is no option of "use audio for".
Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13" do not have audio in through the headphone jack.
The 13" with retina and the 15" have it. -
If I have to buy an audio-usb converter let me know.
Although if this is an option exclusive to Pros and I do, then this is a little ridiculous Mr. Ghost of Steve Jobs.
Especially considering how Airs don't have their own section here on the forums
Thank you for whoever responds! All the idiot "how to" links on Google have me a little frustratedNevermind, posted this in Air section
It didn't give me that option initially. -
I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?
Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Can I connect an external video camera to a mac book pro for viewing live video so I don't have to use the little screen on the camera?

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

Can you use an external hard drive to back up my movies in iTunes but still be able to access them or is there a device so I don't have to use a pc ??
You can store them on a separate hard drive, you don't need to keep them on your laptop's hard drive. On your computer's iTunes on the Advanced tab in Edit > Preferences there is a 'copy files to iTunes media file when adding to library' tickbox - if you untick that, you should be able to copy the films to a separate drive and add them back to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and it should then point to them on that separate drive and not copy them to your hard drive. When you are happy that it is what is happening and that they are safely on your external drive you can delete the films from your laptop's hard drive.
If you plug the external drive into a different USB port next time (assuming that your laptop has more than one) then it might get a different drive letter, so you might need to always use it with the same port. -
How do I get google maps back so I don't have to use apples disgusting version of an attempt at a map
You don't. You can use Safari and go to mobile Google maps and after opening that, tap on the arrow on the bottom of the page and save it to the homescreen. That will allow you to use Google maps web app on the phone. There is a rumor that Google is working on a stand alone app for the App store however no one knows yet if it has been submitted.

I don't know what to order. I want PS for photo editing and some composting. I don't do any website work or sharing yet. I have been using elements for a few years and also have Lightroom 5 on my desktop. I don't want to spend $1000s for a bunch of stuff I don't use. Any advice on what to buy?
Well, there is a whole world of free or affordable software out there like GIMP, PDPaint and similar. Otherwise if you want to stick with Adobe stuff signing up for the CC photography program would be the most cost-efficient way...

I work on a mac but occasionally I have to work on a PC. Can I connect my PC to my mac so I don't have to use 2 different monitors?
Put the monitor on a KVM. Might be able to do a wired mouse and keyboard as well. KVM = keyboard, video, monitor switch.
Connect the common monitor to the KVM out and each machine's video to KVM's in. Then you switch the monitor so it is connected to the machine you want to currently use.
The tricky part is finding an appropriate KVM to handle the video connections for the two machines and monitor. No guarantees there. Many current KVM's have USB connections so there is less potential hastle with mice and keboards. But monitors use dvi, (mini-)displayport, vga, and hdmi. And you may need adapters/converters. So finding a appropriate KVM may be the hard part. -
Mac OS X will not connect to wifi, airport is broken, will connect to internet with ethernet cord. Is there an accessory I can buy to replace airport so I don't have to use ethernet cord? Please help!!
Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask. -

Rob, others,
For CS6 (as for CS5 and CS5.5), registration with Adobe forms part of activation, so none of them can be run without Adobe having your registration number.
So they must have it, and you must be able to get it, through your Adobe ID, or if that has changed through some other information such as name, email address, or something.
You should be able to get help one of these places if needed,
