MacMini and garageband
I just got a mac mini (2005 model) does garageband come with mac mini? It's the whole reason I got it
No, doesn't come with the Mini, but with iLife or can be bought seperately from the App Store...

2 mics 1 macmini and garageband
hello all!
i want to buy 2x SAMSON CO1U USB STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONEs
and i want to create a podcast so i can record two people having a chat...
can this be done in garageband?
just plug in two (usb)mics and hit record???
if not how could i do this and are the 2 mics i have choosen the right ones??
many thanks
jamesThe mini does not have a line in(for use with a mic)
The mini DOES have a Line-In. It doesn't have a Mic-In
hence i brought this imic thing for around 20
quid...
Not the best choice without a mixing console, but workable.
so maybe if i brought another imic ...would that then
let me use 2 mics?
If it's working fine for you with 1, yes, it will work with 2 iMics.
and what a bout the samson mics? how can i record
with them?
You create an Aggregate Device for them. Did you read the article? It explains in great detail how to do it. -
Logic Pro 9 and GarageBand '11 won't recognize MIDI controllers
Hi there,
I have two MIDI controllers that are not getting picked up by Logic or Garage Band and I'm unable to figure out why. I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (Mavericks) on a Mac Mini with a 250 GB SSD and 4 GB of RAM.
Setup 1 is a simple Acorn Masterkey 49 USB controller whose manufacturer claims needs no drivers, although it doesn't show up in my Audio/MIDI setup pane at all, no matter how many times I restart the computer and/or the controller in any combination. I can't use it with Logic or with Garage Band.
Setup 2 is a Digi002 Rack connected to the Mac Mini by Firewire and connected to an old-school Korg M1 as a MIDI controller. I can launch and hear the tracks I've made in the past with Logic, but now that Korg M1 is invisible even though the Core Audio Manager says my Digi002 Rack is connected and running. This setup has really never been able to speak with Garage Band, although I have been able to connect it successfully in the past.
I'm a newbie to this and don't know how to get under the hood to fine-tune MIDI set-ups within Logic or GarageBand. Is there something funky going on between Logic 9 and Mavericks, however? I'm beginning to wonder if that's the issue.
With thanks,
Dustin.Hi Dustin,
Nice to see someone pose a complete question with all the details...
First thing to do would be to delete Logic's preferences and the control surface preferences. Although I don't think it's going to help. I'll post the method at the end of this post.
One of the problem with older MIDI devices is that Apple changed something in their MIDI spec and some older MIDI devices either don't work (not recognized) or if they are recognized don't work reliably. Another problem, depending on ho old your Mac Mini is, the newer machines have USB 3.0 ports and that poses another hurdle.
Here's two things to try for the Acorn.
Turn the computer off, unplug the Acorn's USB cable. Restart the MacMini and let it settle for a couple of minutes, open Audio-MIDI Setup... plug the Acorn in, see if there's and life.
Try a powered USB 2.0 USB Hub, a hub that has it's own power supply. If you don't have one maybe you can borrow one as it's only a -possible- solution.
The Problem with the M! and Digi002 may be related. Are you using the very latest drivers available for the 002? Again, this may be a MIDI compatibility problem, although I thought this was USB only, I suspect it's more of a Digi002 driver issue with Mavericks than anything else.
MIDI Out on the M1 to MIDI IN on the 002
Delete the Logic 9 preferences file and control surfaces file.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic.pro.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this.
If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro. then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Be sure to include the Tilde~ in the path name above, be sure and delete both files. -
I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.
I'm not sure which version of Garritan Personal Orchestra you have or when you are getting a window pop-up, but check this link for starters:

IPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand with multiple apple ID's.
Hello,
First of all I want to excuse myself for my bad english. It's not my native language.
I've bought a Macbook Air 11" two weeks ago and I logged in the app store using an "old" apple ID. Now that I wanted to use a new apple ID to start "clean" I also decided to reinstall my macbook.
Once I tried to redownload iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand I got the message that those applications are "attached" to a other account. I still got that account, but I want to know if I can "remove" those apps on the "old" account and download them using my "new" account.
I don't want to keep two accounts because I logged in the first time with a other account. Is this possible?
Cheers,
SqSo the first time you log in with an apple id the apps are "attached" to that account without any notice? I can't even purchase them. Reinstalling my mac didn't give me back the applications either. I'm flabbergasted how the apple ID's work and that they can get away with this. Support must come from other users as I can't depend on Apple themselfs. Unbelievable...
Thanks for the suppor Carolyn. -
I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?
Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

I tried to set up a remote desktop connection between my MacMini and my work computer. It was not working so I hit cancel, but then the big black screen of death came up and will not go a way. I cannot close my computer nor quit the remote desktop connection. How do you close a non-responsive application? By the way, I am new to Mac and it is not as simple as hitting the Control, Alt, Delete. Please help.

Try ( alt + cmd + esc ). Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit". -

Iphoto and imovie and garageband don't work!!
iphoto and imovie and garageband will not reinstall, but they worked after upgrading to mountain lion, but have had to do a clean install and i can't get them to install now, any suggestions please?
thanks!I have the same probleme
Nevethless, I just tried the following scenario :
On my Imac (OS X Lion), I have two user accounts, mine and one for my daughter.
1. If my daughter send me an email from her account and her Iphoto using iphoto template, I receive her email on my accouint perfectly. I do not have the message "plug-in missing".
2. On the other hand, if I send an email from my account and my Iphoto using iphoto template to my daughter, she receives my email on her account with the message "plug-in missing".
It seems the probleme comes from either my iphoto or my domain an dnot from my mail application. But no idea to fix it. -
i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?
PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band. PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back. You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition. Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction. NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.

I can't upgrade iPhoto and Garageband
We are using two different macbooks with the same account at the same time. I use OS X Lion but my sister uses OS X 10.6.8 I am having trouble with iPhoto and Garageband. I can't upgrade them. I type our family account but it says that I have to buy them. Why should I buy and pay some money for it? They have already been in my computer when I bought it. I will be grateful if you help me with this problem.
Thank Youhttps://discussions.apple.com/message/18055827#18055827

I am unable to update iphoto, imovie, and Garageband on my Macbook Pro. I understand that these apps are part of ilife suite. Purchased Macbook at Best Buy January 2012. All software is updated. I recieve message asking me to sign into account that I purchased these apps from. I am signed in , however I did not purchase these apps they came on Macbook. I also tried deleting Garageband and re-installing it. Now Garageband says accept but Macbook will not accept. Anyone else have this problem and were you able to resolve it.
The fact that they were preinstalled is why they are supposed to appear in the Purchased pane, in a temporary area labeled Purchases, for you to accept. Not doing so soon after you got the Mac has messed this process up.
To get things back on track properly try these steps;
Updating Pre-installed iLife apps -
1 - Log out and quit iTunes and the Mac App Store (MAS)
2 - Go to System Prefs/Users & Groups/~user/Password and enter the Apple ID connected to your iTunes/Mac App Store account. Close Sys Prefs
3 - Delete /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
4 - Reboot your Mac
5 - Open Mac App Store
6 - Go to the Purchased pane and Accept the three iLife apps. Enter iTunes/MAS username/password if prompted. -
How to Set Input Levels with FirePod and GarageBand
Hello ....
I/ve got Garageband and my Firepod 8 channel interface working ... but I need some tips .. especially on the relationship of input levels between my Firepod and Garageband ....
When I am setting input levels for a recording ... where should the input level be on the track in Garageband? .... Is that volume setting only for playback and mixing? .... or is it for the input as well ...
Thank you ....Where should the initial input levels be set? ... Would you use the loudest
part of the song to do this? ...
Yes, as loud as possible without lighting the FP's clip leds.
When I mix the final product ... and change the volumes on the different
tracks.. aren't you then changing the input levels?
No, you're changing the output levels.
can't you red line and overload the track?
Yes, that's why each track has a fader, so that you don't clip.
Is there a master ouput level indicator
Yes, right over the Master Volume slider.
I guess you can't just put each track as loud as you want ... correct?
As loud as you want without clipping.
I would strongly suggest doing some web searches on "Mixing and Mastering" to learn more about how to mix, there's a TON of info floating around the web. -
