Logic X won't detect microphone signal.

I'm using an Alesis iO2 and an Audio Technica AT2020. The signal is showing up on the Alesis and Mac. Logic won't pick up the signal and seems to have trouble detecting inputs although the iO2 is selected as the input device?
I have checked preferences on both the Mac itself and Logic X and the iO2 is selected on both.
Recording guitar straight through the Alesis through the Line Input works completely fine, just for some reason Logic X refuses to recognise the XLR inputs at all...
Any idea why?
Thanks!

I had another look around the forums and it seems to be since the Logic X update to 10.0.5!
I would go back to the previous version but I've done things to my projects which I don't want to lose so would rather wait a little longer and hope that Apple/Logic will release an update which allows the Alesis to work correctly with Logic.
Do you think it's likely they'll correct it soon?
Thanks!
I don't know.. supposedly the most recent Cubase 7 had a similar problem but Steinberg quickly released a patch that fixed it. Apple with probably try to fix it with the next release of the operating system.. a few weeks maybe?

Tv Won't Detect Signal

I hooked my late 2007 model Macbook up to my Sanyo via Mini DVI to HDMI ports. It worked for a little while, the resolution wasn't 1080p but it nonetheless worked. I started messing with the resolutions, and now my tv won't detect a singal from my computer even though my computer detects the Sanyo. Could I maybe have a faulty Mini DVI to HDMI cable?

Tried it without audigy still with the same result. I also tried a different PSU but that isn't it either and Unless it is the RAM or the CPU (which I doubt). It must be the motherboard. Either my board is faulty or it is just not compatible. I will give my supplier a ring and see what they think.

FMLE won't detect audio devices

FMLE won't detect any of my audio devices even when I set them to default device. It only detects my microphone, and I've searched online for many fixes and to no avail.

Pretty much same issue. I usually have my audio device set to "what u hear" for streaming (on creative soundcard), so I can pick up both my mic and ingame audio. However a couple weeks back it just stopped registering "what u hear" and won't pick it up at all (even though ive tested in the creative console and it's definitely working), will only let me set to just my microphone. Have found no fixes anywhere =/

My HDD won't detect in BIOS

Yesterday I bought HDD DT01ACA300 and it won't detect.
I've tried it on two motherboards (different ports and different controllers: AMD chipset, Intel chipset, JMicron) with different power and signal cables (which do work with my Samsung HDD and Lite-On SATA DVD drive) but it won't do any good...
It seems that the only thing that could've caused it may be PSU, but I can't verify this since I don't have a spare one. I've tried to disable most of unnecessary controllers on MB to lower power consumption, but it haven't helped.
From what I've read on Internet it seems that there's not much I can do by myself, and it's most likely faulty drive, but I still have some hope that I can make it work...
It would be quiet a big problem to return it: I'll have to send it into another city's authorized service center so that they would check it, and only then I can get a replacement (if noone will steal it by then, which may happen...).

This seems to be an common 3.5 SATA III HDD
If your desktop motherboard HDD controller supports SATA (SATA III is backward compatible) then it should not be a big problem to get the HDD running.
Possible its an HDD fault. It pity but something like that can happen.
Would recommend testing another new HDD.

Help! Computer won't detect mic unless webcam is plugged in...

Has this happened to anyone else? I have 2 different headsets and my computer won't detect the microphone on either on unless the webcam is plugged in. It doesn't seem to have any problem with the speakers, but I can't use the mic until I plug in the webcam. Please help! This is really annoying!!
Oh, and I'm using Windows Vista, and the Live! Cam Notebook Pro (VF0400) with the headset that came with it and another headset (not a Creative headset).

hm... yes! you have same problem as me. I can't change to another mic till webcam is plugged. And this is due to the fact that the webcam has a built-in microphone inside.Moreover in my case, it must be another problem too, because the other person with who I talk hear sometimes a strong noise. I need to change microphone in the Skype options (I go to the Microsoft Microphone, even if it can hear nothing) and I go back on the mic of the cam. The noise disappear for some moments... after again and I do the same.Could someone help us?For me it would be nice to deactivate the mic of the cam and use an headset that doesn't give this noise problem.

My G4 won't detect my own network

My Powerbook G4 quite suddenly won't detect my own home network (Airport Express) upon starting up.
It "prefers" to want to join my neighbours weaker signal networks. My network name does appear in the drop down list under the airport icon and I can select it manually and it happily joins. But it won't do it by default like it always did from day one. I may have changed a setting.
How do I get it back to always joining my own network by default?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Open system preferences and select 'Network' and then 'Airport' either from the 'Network Status' menu or the Show: drop down menu.
The first tab for 'Airport' says:
By default, join: and a drop down menu.
Make sure that drop down says 'Preferred Networks' and then select your home network from from the list. Apply the settings.
That ought to fix it.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

Imac running Yosemite won't detect external display

I previously was using a 2008 iMac desktop and running OS X Yosemite. I was using dual monitors (other monitor being Insignia brand) and everything worked fine. Since this was an earlier mac version, I was using the Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to connect. Last week, I got a brand new iMac (Mid 2014 version). I am running OS X Yosemite as well, but now it won't detect any displays. I'm now using the Thunderbolt cable to connect so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But I have used that same Thunderbolt cable before on my macbook and it worked just fine.
I've tried restarting, resetting the PRAM and everything. I don't know what else to do. Help!

Thanks for the reply, but tried everything and it still won't work. Rebooted, installed updates, cleared PRAM, everything. It will not detect the displays at all. Maybe there is something wrong with my VGA cable.

I told Time Machine no and now it won't detect my external drive...

Whenever I would plug in my external drive it would pop up with a Time Machine dialog asking if I would like to set it up for backup. I usually hit the ask me later option. Well last time I just hit no. It was starting to annoy me. Well now, when I plug in that drive, it won't detect it or pop up on the desktop. It works on my laptop. How the heck do I get it back?! I have files I really need to transfer!
I would appreciate any info you can give. My i7 is my first Mac in 10 years and I am a bit lost.

As far as I know the drive should still appear as an icon on your Desktop even if you turned down Time Machine's request to use it as the TM backup drive. What's on the external drive right now? Is it just stuff that you dragged and dropped onto it for backup? But if you've used it as a Time Machine backup on your laptop then maybe that's part of the reason you're having difficulty getting it to show up.
P.S. If you want TM to ask you again if you want to use this external drive as a TM backup, go to Applications and open Time Machine and then go to Time Machine preferences and make the selection you desire.
Regards,
Steve M.

MacBook won't detect Toshiba 1T external hard drive

I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Pro and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, even though I've been using it before. Any ideas?

Adam513, turned out the latest operating system doesn't read Microsoft formatted external hard drives the way it used to. I had to purchase a new external hard drive, them find an apple computer with an older version operating system so I could transfer my files to the new external which is formatted for Mac. The new external works fine and once I have all the files transferred, I'll reformat my old external hard drive. Took me and the guy at the Genius Bar a while, but we finally figured this out. Hope this helps!

10.5.8 won't detect any external hard drives

I want to update my 10.5.8 Macbook Pro which I bought in 2008. It runs incredibly slow, and I want to reformat it before updating with Snow Leopard. The problem is that my computer won't detect any external disc drives, so I can't back up my important files. Is there any way to fix this, or is there something I'm missing?
I'm also wondering if I'll be able to reformat without my original OSX install disc that came with my computer, and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

If you are going to be upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard, the installer for that should be able to format your drive for you before you do the installation. I'm assuming that you have those CD's for your computer as you need discs to be able to ugrade to Snow Leopard. What happens when you plug in an external drive? Does it just not recognize the drive, or do you just not have it selected to show the drive on your desktop? With Finder being the top window, click on the Finder Menu and select preferences > select general in the tabs at the top and then make sure that External discs is checked.

Macbook pro won't detect VGA display

My MacBook Pro (15-inch i7 Early 2011) won't detect an external display using an apple mini displayport -> VGA connector using 10.7.3.
All cables and the monitor are fine because my white macbook detects the LG monitor without any problem.
I have read and tried every 'sollution' suggested on the internet, but all fail. Since my MBPro can't even detect my Sony LCD TV (my white macbook does) i suspect it's a firmware/hardware issue.
I want to buy a thunderbolt display, but am not sure if i can spend all this money when even this simple VGA connection won't work.
Has anyone the same VGA detection problem but with a working thunderbolt display connection?

The warranty must be close to running out. Take it ASAP to the Apple Store or AASP and have it checked.

Computer won't detect audigy

Greetings all:
I looked for a while in the forum, but did not find this question, so here goes:
I purchased an audigy 2zs platinum 0 months ago and had no problems until a month ago when I had to reformat and reinstall windows (one of my sata raid dri'ves died/fried). The windows install was on a new dri've, so there are no residual drivers from the previous install (to my knowledge - but I have tried to install it a few times now). Now windows xp home will not detect the audigy 2zs at all. It does detect the midi/game port on the card. I have also been able to use the firewire port on the card. It just won't detect the card, and I have had to revert to the onboard sound. It will only recognize the card as a "pci audi device" and not as a "audigy 2zs" like it did when I first bought it.
I like the zs, plus the front i/o bay is handy. Any thoughts on this problem? I have already tried a different pci slot with the same result. Is there a way to force the driver install? Is there a residual driver I am missing? Could the card be fried?
Here is my setup:
p4(478) 2.8 ghz, asus p4p800 dlx, ati aiw 9800 pro, audigy 2zs platinum, old-fashioned ide ata hd for now.
Thanks, Christopher

I think you may have misunderstood. If you do it that way and navigate to the windows CD then yes, it will install the windows driver. But i meant the Creative CD. If you install the basic CREATIVE card driver you should then be able to install all the other software. But the basic driver should sound no different than with the software except that the software allows you to EQ it and such.
Your problem as i understand is that windows DOES recognise there is a device there, but doesn't know where the driver is. So you need to manually navigate to the basic driver on the CD and once thats installed use the CD to install the software.
Also, i don't see why you can't just uninstall the unknown device in device manager, then without rebooting install from the creative CD as you normally would. In other words, the reason trying to install from the CD as normal isn't working right now is because of the unknown device in device manager. Some kind of conflict between that and windows knowing what to do with the CD install when you try that. So uninstalling the device first then doing a normal instal may also work.
