Hello Emil, your English isn't that bad.
Macs need Line Level Mics, unlike most PCs, so you may need another Mic or an amplifier.

    is there a way to run a external ssd with my mid 2011 iMac hdd in a raid configuration and basically have a fusion drive

    A Fusion Drive is not a RAID; it's a CoreStorage logical volume group. While it's technically possible to do as you suggest, there would be little or no benefit from it.

  • How can I use two mics with my dual XLR to 3.5mm adapter?

    Eveything I try to google on the subject just talks about creating an agregate device with USB mics. I don't have a USB mic but I do have two mics with a dual XLR to 3.5mm adapter that I use for my camera.
    I feel like their has to be a way to use them in Garageband but it's my first time using it and I'm clueless.

    Does your computer have a line-in? Then you could try to plug the 3.5 mm adaptor into it, though the level is probably not sufficient. And that would always put both mics on the same track. If you want actual 2-channel recording, you need an audio interface with two XLR inputs.

  • What version of iLife shipped with my mid 2011 iMac?

    I want to give the purchaser of my iMac the original iLife disks. Was it version '08?

    If you have the disks, and your Mac came with Lion or later, you have no responsibility to give your iLife disks to the buyer. If you enjoy using the iLife applications, then I'd suggest you keep the disks you have. The new downloadable versions of the so-called iLife 11 are no longer a suite, but three separately downloadable apps which are also purchased separately. The MAS versions do not include iDVD without which you will not be able to burn DVDs. So, it is your decision, but you are not obliged to give the disks to a buyer unless the DVD specifically says that it is a "drop in"; if you have the retail versions, you can keep them.
    Any MAS versions of iLife apps are no longer transferable (just like the OS); they have to be purchased by everypne with their own Apple ID.
    As far as I know, using Internet Recovery (Command, Option, R) does not require using an Apple ID; Apple's servers check the machine for eligibility.

  • Can I use a headset with its own mic with my iPhone?

    I know we can't use brand names with AD but I do want to know if a headset will preempt the mic on the iPhone. It seems to defeat the whole purpose of hands free driving when i have to cradle the iphone in my lap or actually hold it while talking. I also have had decreased hearing over the years (sigh) and I much prefer a wired headset that allows me to hear from both ears. People are always telling me I'm talking in a hall when I set the iphone on my lap or on the seat next to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Of course you can.
    My wife and I use Ultimate ears headsets with built in mics all the time.

  • Can you use the mic of a bluetooth stereo headset on an iPod touch 2G w/ fi

    Hi guys.
    I have a Dell bluetooth stereo headset with mic incorporated.
    I want to use this to have conversations with my iPod touch, using voip software.
    Can this be done? I'm asking because when I pair the headset with my iPod, the new voice notes app says I don't have any mic.
    In case it can't be done, can I use my headset with an added mic, connected to the audio plug in in the touch? I referring to something like this:

  • Need to use pro mic with iPhone

    I'm producing a podcast with reporters throughout US and abroad. The iPhone would make perfect recorders but we need to use mics that are more professional. Is there an interface or device available to allow us to use better mics with the iPhone?

    Not really. It is theoretically possible but you would need an adaptor that could convert the standard XLR or TRS output of a higher quality mic to the specific TRRS input that the iPhone uses. From there, you would also need something with a better mic preamp that could go between the mic and this input adaptor.
    While I am aware of preamps that would work, I don't know of any adaptor that exists to get the job done. If you are looking for higher quality audio than the iPhone can produce, I would recommend using a stand alone handheld recorder for the mean time. I use and Olympus LS10 and its a great unit.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.
