Mac doesnt recognize my mic

Hi!
THe problem is very simple but the solution is tricky to find.
I'm used to connect my guitar to my imac and record some things on garage band. And everythings seems to work.
Recently, I bought a headphone with mic on it.
The headphone worked very well but the mic never worked.
I've already tried to change to line in on system panel to use the external mic but there I cant see that my mac dosent find any sound coming.
And when I try to record on garage band the silence confirm to me that nothign is coming.
So my last thought was " maybe mic is broken." but I just tested on other computer, not mac, and the recording was great.
Anyone knows what's happening to me?

Yes, the computer's input is a line-level input. The mic you have probably doesn't have sufficient output. If you have a pre-amp you might try that between the mic and the input on the computer. Or you can get an iMic adapter to work through a USB port.

    Turn the internal mic level off. Use headphones as monitors.

  • Safari doesnt recognize all installed plugins

    hi
    my safari 2.0.3 doesnt recognize the pdf browser plugin and Sony's imagestation plugin, eventhough ive tried them installing many times. The last plugin that was installed correctly was the divx plugin. Somebody please help me out. I have checked the preferences and plugins are enabled.
    macbook 13 in   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Are you using Rosetta to run Safari? If not, PDF browser plug-in will not run, as it is not a Universal app.
    Best to check the Universal status of those plug-ins you are having problems with. If they are not Universal, they'll only be functional if you are running Safari in Rosetta.

  • APEX Application URL doesnt recognize parameters (Doesnt work consistently)

    Hello,
    I have developed an application which I have published in company's intranet website. There are several links published for same application with different parameters. We are facing issues in publishing parameterized URLs as application is not recongizing the parameter values passed (in internet explorer it doesnt recognize at all, but in mozilla, once redirected if we again select address bar and press Enter it does recongize the parameter without changing URL).
    E.g. I have hyperlink in intranet with
    http://msi-pa-637.marvell.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=111:101:0::NO::P101_PROJECT_INSTANCE:PRJ3
    After clicking on the link it does open application, but report with complete data. now in Mozilla if I select address bar and press enter, it refreshes and does retrieve report with desired parameter. Do you have any clue why it doesnt do in first place? (in internet explorer, this work around doesnt help until you manually change the parameter from PRJ3 to PRJ2 and press enter).
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Vikas for helping me to figure out myself.
    The debug feature really helped!
    My application was having computation on same item that was getting defaulted on new instance. I made that computation conditional and now it works!
    Thanks a lot!

    If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key.  If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable.  If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
    good luck.
