I have on;y one audio port can i use it for input and output at the same time?

i have the new macbook pro 13 in and i want to connect aguitar as input and output on an amp but i have only one audio port

You can't use the jack as an input and output simultaneously. The solution is to look for a USB or Firewire interface to get your guitar sound into the computer.

Audio input and output at the same time

Hello mac users.
I have one simple question: since the new macbook has one single audio port for both input and output, how could I, for example, play my guitar AND listen to the headphones at the same time?
I KNOW (because I've tried) that with the iPhone headphones with microphone the port CAN physically work at the same time for input and output, so the question is: what can I use to do that? Will a simple splitter do or do I have to use different tricks?
(I know there is a thread on this already, but it doesn't provide a definitive answer)
Thank you!

One of the first questions to ask...
Is the audio input stereo or mono?
When using a headset mic you're dealing with a mono input so you at least know the Mac is capable of that.
If it's mono, and I suspect it is, should be easy to either make or purchase a custom cable that has two female input connectors, one mono input and a stereo headphone input.
However, I'd probably just purchase a USB audio interface, the sound, both recording and playback will be head and shoulders above the Macbooks built in internal audio.

Can i use a track pad and mouse at the same time

can i use a track pad and a mouse at the same time

If you mean can you have them both connected at the same time, then it's a yes. I have both connected and use the mouse for some functions and the trackpad for others... works a charm.

Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?

I gave up on iPhoto 6 when it comes to publishing web galleries (see my posts at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=456532&tstart=0 )
Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?
Thanks!

Lior:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can but it takes a lot of caution! You can have both application running their own library. But the problem comes in when you launch V5 into the last used library, a V6 library, and it can corrupt that library so it won't open in V6 again. Conversely, if you open V6 and the V5 library was the last to be opened and you don't pay attention, you'll convert it to a V6 and lose the V5 access.
So you have to make sure you ALWAYS launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and manually select the library to use each time. Also Name each library differently. I use V6 LIbrary and V5 Library. You can rename your current one and then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and navigate to it to open it.

Can you use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad 4?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad?
It is so my children can watch a film or listen to music together.
Thanks

No

Can you use a roaming network and wireless extender at same time?

Greetings community - I've been struggling with an attempt to extend my wireless network for some time now. Please forgive my ignorance on the topic - I realize how 'simple' this is for many of you. Let me summarize:
What I have functioning:
1. Comcast telephony modem
2. 5th gen Airport Extreme as main wireless router connected to modem via Ethernet (corner of floor 3)
3. 2nd gen Airport Express as wireless extender (hooked to a stereo on floor 2)
What I want to accomplish:
1. I have poor wireless signal on my sun porch (corner of floor 1 opposite side of building as modem)
Extra equipment I have:
1. Another 5th gen Airport Extreme
2. Another 2nd gen Airport Express
What I have tried (and failed at):
1. Initially I set up the second Airport Extreme as a second wireless extender and placed it at a further point away than my first wireless extender. I quickly realized that set up does not function appropriately and one cannot connect to the further extender (I read about that on the apple forums).
2. I tried placing the second Airport Extreme in a different part of the house at equal distance from the main router as the first wireless extender. It's capability to extend was minimal if any.
3. I tried connecting the Airport Extreme to the main router via an Ethernet cable with the hopes of creating a roaming network (which I read about on the apple forums). I would have to come up with a way to run the Ethernet through the house but I'm willing to cross that bridge later. Once I got that set up, the 2nd gen Airport Express which was previously set up as a wireless extender is no longer recognized. Argh!!
Questions/Theories/Suggestions:
1. Is it possible to have a wired extender (via Ethernet) function at the same time as a separate wireless extender all connected to the same router? If so how do I do it?
2. I thought about keeping Airport Extreme #1 wireless connected to Airport Express #1 and call that Network 1. Then plug Airport Extreme #2 directly into the modem to create Network #2 and use Airport Express #2 as wireless extender. When I tried plugging both Airport Extremes into the modem, they both stopped functioning.
3. Do I get a second modem to put somewhere else in the house and use Airport Extreme #2 and Airport Express #2 in that fashion? My guess is Comcast will try to charge me a separate internet access fee to do that (boo!!).
I know there are a lot of brilliant folks out there. I'm sure someone can read this and see the 'obvious errors' in my ideas and attempts. I'm certainly open to new suggestions as well.
Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

Is is possible to rename the AEx 2 a different network name from the AEx1 and AE 1 (even though they are all connected to each other)? And say it is possible, would that potentially preventing the jumping?
No, in extend wireless the names must be the same..
However since you are creating a network on AE2 which is extended by AEx2 then you can indeed use a different name.. but it must be both,, AE2 and AEx2.
2. Even more crazy - if I did (could) give the AEx 2 a different network name, could I use my AE 2 as a wireless extension to that second network? Or is this just getting out of hand now?
You have lost me now.. there are ways and means.. but let me recommend a better solution.
Use EOP (homeplug in US) adapters if you cannot run ethernet. Multi-storey houses where you have heavy concrete construction are never going to work well with wireless alone. You are much better getting ethernet properly installed (which is the only 100% guaranteed method).. or buy a set of EOP adapters and give them a try.. they work in some cases and not others.. but better than wireless when they do work.
Otherwise I think you need higher power wireless routers.. but I can suggest you do the setup in a more controlled manner.
In other words do not use auto as per the airport utility.. use very short wireless names, different for both bands.. and fixed wireless channels.. then test which band works better.. Then you can do a link.. which will be slow but might give you better performance.
So..
Link1 Main AE1---- AEx1 This is wireless extend.
Link2 AEx1--ethernet--AE2. AE2 is in bridge mode and is also set to create a wireless network. (Use different wireless name here to prevent confusion).
Link3 AE2-----AEx2 Second wireless extend.
This overcomes the Apple limitation on multiple extends. It is not great setup but might get wireless to where you need it.. And better speed than you can get now.
NOTE>. I would personally never do this.. I will run ethernet forevermore.. having tried and tried in various places and using all kinds of equipment.. my conclusion is.. wireless is not suitable.. unless you can get enough signal in from one AP.. everything behind it must be ethernet.
It is much more expensive in some cases.. but ethernet works.. nothing else can be guaranteed to work.

Can i do this? (wired and wireless at the same time?)

Hi all
My first time on these boards, Iam hopefully setting up a wireless network at home very soon. At the moment I have a cable modem that is 'hard wired' directly into my G5 imac that has no wireless cards installed. simple (so far)
Now... Iam getting a laptop very soon and wish to go wireless roaming the house etc so i will purchase an airport extreme at the same time.. is it possible to have my laptop on wireless and the G5 'hard wired' from the airport station providing 2 connections at the same time one wireless, one hard wired?
If not, what kit do i need to make this happen? apart from a wireless card for the G5 which id rather not do as id like that connection 100% stable and as fast as the 10mb will go..
Any help and advice would be appreciated.

The default settings of the AEBS works with most cable modems without any configuration changes needed.
The AEBS is a NAT router, meaning that it will be "seen" by your ISP as a single device. In turn, the AEBS will distribute private IP addresses, on the local network, to all of the computers connected to it (wired or wirelessly) because it has a built-in DHCP server. So in this case, each of your computers would be assigned an unique IP address.

How can I delete email from iPhone and ipad at the same time

How can I delete emails on my iPhone and ipad at the same time

Use IMAP Mail e.g. Gmail

I can hear both a clean sound and distortion at the same time.

I can hear both a clean sound and distortion through my monitors and headphones. I am playing into a Presonus USB and directly into a MacBook Pro. Any idea how I can get rid of the clean sound?

You probably have a mix knob on your interface that switches between dry and wet signal. The knob should mix the signals.

Can ipod Nano work on PC and Mac at the same time?

I have a PC at home, which my iPod is formatted to. I tried to plug it into my iMac at work today and it didn't recognize any of my songs. It gives me the option to erase and sync or transfer purchases, neither of which will let me play anything. If I'm not confused, I was able to plug in my old ipod to any computer and play the songs on it without actually transferring anything - kind of like using iTunes like an iHome or something. Once you ejected your ipod from the "foreign" computer, your songs came with it. Can you not do this anymore? Or is it a mac/PC issue? I'd really like to listen to my music at work. Please help!

No. Standalone serials are platform specific. You will have to get Creative Cloud or a separate license for your Mac.

Can I automatically save a file and backup at the same time?

My financial files are held in the cloud which means time machine does not back them up. Is there a way I can automatically backup the files whenever I save them?

Anyone? Even if only to say it can't be done.

Why don't I have internet service for laptop and desktop at the same time

Time capsule will either provide Internet service to my iMac (hardwired) or my laptop (wireless), but not simultaneously.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Click Update to save settings
Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart, then check the network again.

Can you use two bluetooth devices on iPad at the same time?

Want to use the wireless keyboard along with the Jambox wireless speaker. Will the iPad allow you to connect to two Bluetooth devices at once? Thanks!

Seven is the Bluetooth max, but you should probably not do more than three or four and then depending on the BT protocols that each device is using.
I use my Apple BT keyboard and my Cellular Innovations BT headphone clip at the same time without any issue whatsoever.

I have on;y one audio port can i use it for input and output at the same time?
