Ipod Garage Band does not recognise Blue Mikey..... even though it gets signal.

I just installed Garage Band on my 3rd gen iPod touch and am not getting past the '"No Audio Input" dialog. But here's the weird bit... I have a Blue Mikey mic plugged into the dock input and it is registering on the VU meter. Audio is getting into the unit - and into the application but it won't allow me to record as it doesn't 'see' a microphone plugged into the audio/headphone jack. I might try plugging something in there to fool it...
I specifically tracked down a 3rd gen model as it is the last ipod touch to allow audio recording through the doc connection. I'm figuring that the Garage Band programmers forgot that earlier models allowed dock connected microphones?
(BTW there is nothing wrong with the hardwar - I can still record using other apps.... but Garage Band would rock the free world.)

Ah really? Does it record without headphones plugged in? (I usually use it for band recording)
I have been reluctant to update to iOS5 because I was afraid it would introduce software issues with Fire (Blue's recording app). I assume they will abandon development for native Mikey software at some point.
Have you used Fire with iOS5?
I should update to iOS5, Garage band will possibly replace Fire if it works OK. Thanks for the tip!

  • Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on".  Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?  I did not have this issue with the previous OS.  Thank you.

    Thank you, James, but I do have a WiFi connection on the iPad mini. The Numbers files update on my iPad third generation and iPhone just fine when connected to the same network.
    Do you have any other suggestions?
    Thank you!

  • My mail does not come in automatically even though i have it set as auto. I need to click on get mail each time

    My email does not come in until I click on get mail. I have the check mail set automatically in my preferences under general. What am I doing wrong? Cheers John

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • Notation on garage band does not work printed bass notation last night ok,,,,tonight cannot see notitaion when i hit score buttion

    mr bass player

    to night 12am score button does not work can not see notation  help!
    Are you working with the same bass track as last night or with a different track? You can only see and print the score for software instrument tracks that are selected in the track head (you probably know that, but just to make sure).
    Can you post us a screenshot of what your track heads look like, so that we can see what might be wrong?

  • Itunes not recognising my library even though I transferred my library from another mac

    Hello.  Transferring over to an MBA from a MBP.  I followed the instructions and copied the itunes folder from my MBP (itunes 11.1.1) to an external hard drive after consolidating it.
    On my MBA I removed the itunes folder it came with and replaced it with the folder from my external hard drive (itunes 11.0.3). However, iTunes is not recognising any of the music!  I really want to import all my ratings and playlists so am keen for this to work.
    I've done it before and it worked just fine.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh, yeah, it is confusing. The Purchased option on the Sidebar only shows purchases actually made on the computer you are using at the time you click on the Purchased option. The Purchased option under Quick Links shows you all purchases made under the Apple ID that is signed on.
    I wish they would change the name of one or the other so they would be distinctive from one another - even Purchased vs. Purchases would be better than using the exact same word!
    Cheers,

  • Rectangular marquee does not snap to grid even though snap to grid is checked under view

    Hey all,
    I cannot snap to a grid even though snap to grid is checked under view > snap to > grid. Unless I am zoomed in all the way, when I drag marquee, it always snaps two pixels above or two pixels below where I'm trying to snap to grid, which is the green line I created. I don't know if this is a Photoshop bug but it's clearly not snapping to the grid for me unless I am zoomed in all the way, but then at that point, I have to drag it across the whole document and because I'm zoomed in so far, it takes several minutes.Any reason why snap to grid not working in PhotoShop CS4?
    Thanks for response.

    it always snaps two pixels above or two pixels below where I'm trying to snap to grid, which is the green line I created.
    Green lines for the Grid? Did you change the color in the Preferences specifically?
    And your use of the singular »line« is a bit suspicious – are you sure you are talking about the Grid and not Guides?

  • Ipod nano 6 does not recognise charger when connecting to ipod

    When I try and connect charging lead to my IPod 6, (that was a replacement for Ipod 2) the screen alternates between Apple logo and icon screen, then it a message appears that the battery is low and to connect to a charger. I have tried Apple support sites on internet but nowhere does it address my problem. Can anybody please help?

    I reset the ipod by holding down the power button and the menu button and the apple screen came up after a few moments - this seems to have done the trick!

  • I downloaded the iOS 6 on my iphone 3GS and now it is stuck on gthe set up. It does not recognise a simcard even when inserted and tells me 'No Service'. So actually I cant set up the phone. What could be the problem since I have never encountered such.

    ios 6 has made my phone lose network and hence cant be set up... please help????

    It is most likely permanently bricked. Jailbreaking can do permanent damage.
    You can't get help here. Discussing jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.
    Buy a new phone.

  • Wireless keyboard is not recognised on startup even though batteries are not flat?

    I have two imacs and yesterday one of the keyboards would not connect to the imac when it started in the morning so I assumed it was the batteries and changed them but the same thing happened to my other imac this morning and so I used an old wired keyboard to log in and then the wireless keyboard started to work and told me it 100% battery.
    Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?
    Cheers

  • Mozilla does not remember ldap password, even though I check the "remember" checkbox.

    Every time I enter an email address, Mozilla pops up the "LDAP Server Password Required". I enter the password and check the "Use password manager to remember this password". Then the message pops up again. I enter the info again. Then it accesses the LDAP server. But next time I type in an email address, it hasn't remembered the password.
    Thanks, Vilis

    It could be the password files are corrupted and not accepting changes, so I would delete (or move to a safe location) these files from the profile folder: keys.db, signons.sqlite, signons#.txt. Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder, exit TB, and delete or move the files.
    You can record any stored passwords before doing this by opening Tools(or AppMenu/Options)/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords, as deleting the password files from the profile will erase all stored passwords.

  • Mac does not recognise ipod nano.

    i am using nano for 8 months already.
    it had little problems till this day, and just resetting the nano would help to solve the recognising problems arised in the time being whatsoever.
    but this time i have an exclamation point on a folder on the screen, and it won't go away.
    when i try to connect the nano to my mac, it sees nano as a random hd (namely "apple ipod media"), but does not recognise it as "ipod nano" which we love and cherish when we automatically see it on dt and itunes if it's connected to our macs.
    a pop up comes to my screen when i connect nano to mac, i press initalize, and it opens disc utility. the program doesn't help me for restoring the ipod.
    using ipod updater as a restoring tool doesn't work neither (obviously).
    ...help?

    Try this:
    Windows 8.1, 64bit
    It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
    I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
