Just bought a MacBook 11" Running Lion, Where did the Audio Input Selector go?

Hello,
I'm a digital performance artist, and I'm preparing a new 11" MacBook Air for use as my main computer in the desert at this year's BurningMan. My software must use the built in line input to process an audio signal. On my 13" MacBook running Snow Leopard, in the audio preferences, I am able to choose to "use the 1/8" audio jack for:" input or output. On the new 11" MacBook Running Lion, I do not have that featurte yet the Audio input is mentioned in the documentation I read before acquiring it. How do I enable the audio input? If it is a Lion issue, is it possible to downgrade to Snow Leopard until Audio Line In is supported?
Any help would be great. I'm looking for something like "defaults write com.apple.xxx.AudoInputSelector -bool YES"
Thanks!
Sid

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Free upgrades to Mountain Lion already ended, so now you have to pay to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. I recommend you to return the MacBook Pro and get another one with Mountain Lion if you want. Another option is to wait until Apple launches Mavericks and upgrade to that version

  • I just bought a movie and I can only hear the audio

    Hi I have just bought the movie, Elf, I can hear the audio fine but I am failing to see any of the actual video. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Hi NRisk,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • Where did the audio go?

    I'm new to Mac. I created my project in Final Cut Pro 5 using 3 Quicktime files. I exported from FCP5 to Quicktime Movie and everything looks great. When I set up Compressor 2, imported my movie to it and used the conversion to MPEG-2 150 minutes, the end result was great video and no audio. I checked the process again and made sure the audio compression components were included and did it again. Successful compression, no audio. The Quicktime Movie still plays great. I need to get this to DVD and soon. Please help!!

    I don't what to tell you, but I would suggest.
    Going back to FCP and exporting again just the audio as aiff 48/16.
    Drop that into Compressor and elect the Dolby 2 preset.

  • Just bought a macbook and can't connect to the internet.   very frustrating

    i can't connect through my wireless router. it reads it but can't connect. my brothers hp laptop connects to it and works. i brought it to work and tried to connect to the router at work but it failed again. but my bro's hp just reads it right away. i need some help please.

    Hi,
    The same happened to me, but here's a fix.
    If it is password encrypted, when you first turn on your macbook, and they give you the internet connection list, Click on advance, and select "This computer does not connect to the internet" Then everything will finish installing.
    Now when you see the wireless symbol on top of your screen (right next to the blue tooth) select Airport ON if it isn't enabled. Then connect to your wireless router, and when it asks for the password, click on the internet password type, and select the "Wireless WEP 12/48 key...or something like that" and it should connect. That is what I did to my macbook and it worked

    Sorry, i forgot to response. I've gone to the store where i bought the macbook. I told them about this, they said that they were sorry about the services and that they cannot do anything about it. They asked me to call the apple service about the upgrade. I called the services, and all that they said was the period where upgrade is free was over. and if i want to upgrade it, I have to buy it. No free upgrade. And said that he cannot comment anything about the services provided by the store.
    oh well. just have to live with it.
    Oh yes they can!  Apple's policy is that you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the comp.....no questions asked!
    You should return it, get your $$$ back.  Then purchased another one that has ML from a reputable Apple reseller and/or from an Apple Store (online or off).

    just bought new macbook air, where do i find iWork?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iWork applications (Numbers, Pages and Keynote) do not come preinstalled. Instead, you have to download them from the Mac App Store, so open the Mac App Store, choose Purchases at the top and you should see iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, Numbers, Keynote and Pages as waiting to be accepted, so accept them. Note that you need OS X Mavericks.
    If you do not see the iWork applications in the Purchases tab, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    (You can check which OS X version you are using in  > About this Mac. 10.9 is OS X Mavericks, and 10.8 is OS X Mountain Lion. If you are using OS X Mountain Lion, first you need to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store and upgrade).

  • Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????

    This is because I have a copy of Protools I want to run on it and it has to be 10.6.1 or 10.6.2
    Help I'm desperate!!

    The 2010 MBPs came installed with either 10.6.3, or 10.6.4 later in their lifespan. Earlier versions of the OS may not have the correct drivers for the Mac's hardware.
    Ultimately, you might be better off upgrading your copy of Pro Tools, or updating the Mac to Yosemite and running Logic Pro X.

    WhyWontThisWork:
    I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
    Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
    a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
    b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
    c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
    What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
    If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
    Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
    From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
    Touch Settings.
    Touch SD card & phone storage.
    Touch Unmount SD card.
    Touch Format SD card.
    Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
    Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion.

    I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive.  How do I install MS Office 2003 on it?  It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.

    A 2003 MS office sounds like a Windows version.  A 2004 MS Office that was Mac compatible can not be run natively on a new MBA since the Lions do not run PPC applications.  You will have to get a newer edition of MS Office that is compatible with your new MBA.
