Ios 4.2 issues - anyone tested the Blue Snowball mic yet?

I've been using a Blue Snowball mic for recording through the camera connection, which has worked fine with ios 3.2.2.
Having read about the power loss apparently inherent in ios 4.2, I'm hesitant to upgrade; I have read of problems with one of Blue's other USB mic's a more advanced model that may need more power but nothing yet regarding the Snowball.
I hate being the "guinea pig" - has anyone tried the Blue Snowball with ios 4.2? IF it works I'll upgrade as that's my only current USB use other than a HD Camcorder; the fact that 4.2 apparently works with the UNO MIDI interface is very attractive, but not at the expense of the Snowball mic.
Thanks -

Can I connect the Blue Snowball Mic to my iphone 4 and If I can How do I do it?

Im thinking of buying the Blue snowball mic, it sounds like a really good quality except im not sure if it would work well with the iphone 4. I seen a youtube video of a guy using it on his ipad.. Im using this to record a group session with the evernote app. Does anyone own a blue snow ball app and use it with his iphone 4? Or and if not does it or can it work with a Samsung Galaxy Pad?

the headset connector have 3 rings the middle on is mic in you could camabalize a cable and connect a mic directly into the headset
mind you make sure the mic signal you put in is not too powerful vs. the mic in headsets or you could blow something

BLUE SNOWBALL MIC

I've recentely purchased the Blue Snowball Mic, the one the plugs straight into the USB port. I've however been unable to figure out how to use it in Logic. It works fine in Garageband, but even after I set it up in the Logic Setup Assistant it resorts back to the Built-In Audio. If anyone knows how to get the mic up and running, I'd really appreciate the help. The sound quality is pretty good and I'm really excited to start messing around with it so please help!! Thanks!

How do I go about doing that? I already went to the AudioMidiSetup and set the blue snowball as the default audio input, but same problem. What does the aggregate device do? Thanks for your help.

The feature no longer works in iOS 6 so you must not have updated your other devices yet.

Has anyone gotten the new Iphone 5 yet

Has anyone received the new Iphone 5 yet in the preorder? I paid for mine on the prerder date and I still have no tracking number.

Go to UPS website and clicl on "more options" under the tracking box.
Then, click on "Track by reference"
enterthe phone number Apple has on your account or enter your Apple order number but leave out the last two digits. (Include the "W" at the beginning of the number)

Blue Snowball Mic and Captivate

I recently purchased the Blue Snowball (USB) Mic to use with
Captivate. It's properly configured through windows and works in
other Apps, but it not working in Captivate.
Please advise

Hi MissDona and welcome to the community
Well, I see you are totally new here, so my guess is that you
logged into the forums after noticing the issue. Had you done this
prior to purchasing the mic, you could have performed a search and
discovered that USB microphones are often troublesome with
Captivate. We typically recommend using the type of mic that has
the little phono plug like you typically see at the end of earbud
headphones and plugs into the Walkman, IPod or other MP3 type
player.
Perhaps returning to the store and exchanging for this type
of microphone (or headset speaker mic) is an option?
Sorry, but I have no "easy button" solution for the USB mic.
I only know from reading posts that they are frequently not
recognized by Captivate. I've also seen reports where Captivate
recognizes them off and on. Maybe they could record audio once or
twice, then it suddenly stopped.
Cheers... Rick

Can't get Blue Snowball mic to appear on Audio Hardware selections in Premiere Pro CC

I have attached a Blue Snowball Mic to my system (Mac) and when I go to use it for making voice overs in Premiere Pro CC the mic does not show up on my Audio Hardware menu under preferences, so I can't use it. Strangely the mic works fine with Audible CC. I did not discover any specific drivers online that would assist...not sure why there's a problem. Any ideas?
System:
iMac late 2012,
3.4 gHz Intel Core i7
16gb Ram 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
OS X 10.9

Did you ever get your issue resolved? I had a CAD 37 usb mic that Premiere Pro CC wouldn't recognize. Then I got a Blue Yeti with the same result. My Imac recognized them both but Premiere Pro CC would not recognize. I have a 2013 Imac so I don't think it's a computer issue. When I had Premiere Pro 6.0 I didn't have a problem with microphones being recognized.

Make it easier to use Blue Snowball mic with Logic

This post is intended for Apple to see. Perhaps this problem is fixed in Logic Pro/Express 7.2.
The Blue Snowball was designed for GarageBand and works great with it, right out of the box.
But trying to use it with Logic is like pulling teeth or debugging a Java program. 1. You have to create an Aggregate Device in Apple MIDI setup.
2. Once you do that, you still record blank audio tracks unless you read the forum posts really carefully and find out that you can use I/O slot Input 3 or Input 4 on the audio track you want to record with the Snowball. Once you do that you're OK.
My beef is that since Apple would love people to upgrade from GarageBand to Logic, and a few people will, and the Blue works great, right out of the box, with GB, your developers should figure out whether it's a relatively easy fix to make Logic Pro - and especially Express, the "logical" upgrade for most GB users - use the Blue Snowball right out of the box the minute they install Logic Express, Pro, or Logic Express Trial.

I understand what you're saying about the "sound software principles", but you are probably an expert sound technician, and I'm not - yet. I have lots of learning to do. I come in as a musical person, a composer. I've also been a software developer at a "low" (i e industrial DP with Java, not C++ or Objective-C).
I'm speaking from the point of view of a customer at the Apple store. Say he's a newbie, like me. He (or she) gets GarageBand and then, noticing that it's featured item at the Apple store, gets a Blue Snowball.
A little later this person falls in love with digital music-making and downloads Logic Express Trial. Suddenly s/he finds that the Snowball records blank tracks. S/he complains, perhaps bitterly, to Apple or to her/his friendss about how this great microphone doesn't work with Logic. S/he is not used to reading forum posts, looking for FAQs, in short, doing all I had to do to find out how to make the Blue work.
It's not software, it's marketing, and usability. If there are good reasons not to change Logic, then at least Apple - and/or Blue - should have an FAQ or an insert in the documentation telling you what to do to make your Snowball record if you upgrade from GB to Logic. It's simply not customer-friendly! And some people who get Logic Express will never understand or care about the software design and technology. Neither Apple nor Blue wants annoyed customers. I happen not to be an annoyed customer only because I hunted through the forums and figured out what to do.. and it was -anything- but intuitive!

Vocal buzz with Blue snowball mic

I'm recording vocals into garage band, with the track set for vocals with no effects, and I'm getting a lot of buzz/distortion. This is somewhat replicated in the acoustic guitar as well.
The levels in the track mixer are never clipping, and I've experimented with different input levels on the Mac system preferences, as well as with different differences from the mic.
Is there something I'm missing, like a separate input level by track, or for Garageband in particular?
Or do is the mic broken?

You should contact BlUE about your mic. I have seen reports and reviews stating that the Blue snowball was defective right out of the box.

How do I make siri use the mic on the iPhone and not the blue tooth mic?

When I get in my car, the blue tooth connects to the built-in car kit. I want to use the car kit for phone calls, but I want to use the iPHone mic for Siri. Siri always gets it wrong when it uses the car mic. Is this possible?

TS2634 Connecting a Blue Snowball mic to Ipad Air?

Hello,
Would appreciate some advice: I have a new ipad Air and want to connect it to a Blue Snowball microphone so I can record vocals and instruments using the GarageBand app.
Could you tell me which cable I need to connect the two and enable recording?
There appears to be conflicting information online about whether or not you can connect the Snowball to an Ipad Air?
Thanks in anticipation.

Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before? It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked. I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone. I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
1)Connect phone
2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
4)Uncheck "sync music"
5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
bottom righ.
8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

Has anyone seen the blue flashing screen on MBP running 10.6.8? It looks like you are plugging in an external monitor and unplugging it over and over.

So, I have called Apple twice about this issue. Both times, I was on for almost an hour and could not get an answer. In fact, the technicians said that they had never seen this issue before. Here is how it goes.
It has happened MacBook Pro laptops anywhere from 2010 to now. I have seen it on new ones with Thunderbolt and ones a generation before. In the environment I work in, we have many, thousands from ranging from all generations. This specific issue seems to only be affecting 10.6.8. When the computer boots, it starts to flash blue as if you just plugged in an external montior, except there is no monitor, and it keeps flashing blue about once every second. I actually have a video of it on my phone that I can send to show you.
Now, like I said, this is happening to multiple laptops, all running 10.6.8. There isn't a particular action that causes it either. I have seen laptops that have been running for hours just start doing it as well as a completely cold start up do it right at the login screen. Upgrading to 10.7.x seems to solve the issue. But you have to understand, the environment I work in has thousands of computers. Upgrading many of them to Lion just for this is just not practical. In some cases, there is software that will not function correctly beyond 10.6.8.
I have scoured though Google searches for hours now looking for a similar issue and a resolution. The answer I always seem to find is just upgrade. I can't seem to find a discussion beyond 2011 that talks about it.
Can someone help me?
Chad

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

Anyone used the Blue Tooth iPhone combo dock yet..Questions Charging!

I like to charge my phone from the AC/USB adapter every night with the phone turned off. The combo dock (and the travel cord) has a wierd issue when you want to use it to charge both the headset and the phone. If you turn the phone off in the dock (not sleep) the headset won't charge. If you take the phone out of the dock it will charge. If you put only the headset in the dock it will charge. The only way I can charge both at once with the phone off the way i prefer is to use the dock or travel cable for for the headset and another AC/USB adapter to charge the phone when it's off, defeating the whole purpose of the dock if you want a completely full charge, plus you don't get the days usage because the phone is never off.
With the phone in sleep mode in the dock, not off, I did not get a full charge on the green battery icon , but the plug icon indicated full charge. Charging the phone when it's off on the AC/USB adapter before I got my BT headset, I always got the full green battery and the glow, and based upon today's usage, I shut it off early this morning and turned it back on to get this, thus far (5 hrs 13 mins usage, 7 hours 10 minutes standby BT on,lot's of email, ipod and calls and I have a little over half battery left), battery life (somewhat subjective), didn't appear to be as good as it was charging from the wall when it's off.
Apple tech support said that this was "probably" normal behavior.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

i charge my iPhone with it on all the time. when i charge it overnight i always cycle it in the morning. the "green glow" is a user interface glitch(which has been discussed ALLOT here) as long as the plug shows it is fully charged. if my iPhone doesn't show the the "green glow" i cycle it in the morning and that usually does it for me. my iPhone went for almost 48 hours on a charge before asking me to please charge it; this is with moderate to medium calling, internet and ipod. another thing is that when you use your iphone with you headset and the bluetooth is on it is using extra battery because they only have an on and off function and they don't have where you can set it to be discoverable so it is constantly searching and searching for bluetooth devices. which will i have not noticed to be a real drain on the battery but for someone that is say subjected to allot of bluetooth devices in an office building perhaps that might play a role in sucking down more power. for me i notice that it is like 5-10 min of talk time less that with bluetooth on. but as i charge overnight i didn't notice it being much if any lower at night with average use. i don't have the bluetooth combo dock but he battery should fully charge in 4 hours and the average person sleeps more than 8 i would imagine that you are trying to charge 2 things off the same charger but the headset is 1 hour to charge if i remember so what at the most of like 6 hours for both to full charge? i don't know if this helps just some useful information. we have 3 iPhone's in the house and they all have around the same battery life BTW.
