MBOX - AUDACITY MAC 10.4 OS

Audacity works fine on my mac powerbook (10.4.11). So does my Mbox. But Audacity does not seem to be able to communicate, ie import music when Mbox is selected as my input source. mac sound preferences window sees it and the meter goes up and down, indicating sound is getting to the mac. But when I press record in audacity, having selected mbox as source in that software's io menu, I get ann error message or sometimes no error message but a flat line as opposed to sound wave. Silence as opposed to music.
Any thoughts???

Since this question appears to have nothing to do with iTunes, you might get faster responses if you were to post elsewhere. There are forums specifically for Audacity here.
Good luck.

  • Sending Duplicate emails using Mail and mBox for mac

    I have been sending duplicate emails inadvertantly recently.  It seems it's when I use mBox for mac (registered copy) in Mail to use my Hotmail with IMAP.
    I hadn't noticed it at first, but now I see everytime I send a mail I get 2 copies in my sent box.  I can turn off the store sent messages on server option to fix it (but that's the whole point of having IMAP!!), or I can turn off mBox for mac and it also seems to work (but then I can't use IMAP!).    I've also tried on the same machine from gmail, and iCloud accounts (MobileMe), and I had no issue at all.  I've also tried 2 different Hotmail accounts, and both of them send double messages every time I send. 
    I've searched for a loooooong time, and can't find anyone with a similar issue - but surely I'm not the only one?  I think anyone still using a hotmail account will eventually install something like mBox for mac if they've gone Mac recently - as I have.
    I checked the mail headers of the 2 mails, and they are quite different (masked where appropriate) -

    I'm surprised I can't find anyone else with a similar issue.  I've submitted a support ticket with mBox/fluent factory, but I'm still not convinced it's their issue, and possibly a Mail on Mac issue.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?  Thanks for your help!

    @ Kokola
    Great staff!!! MBox Fluent Factory is very poor app.
    I was having problem with duplicated sent emails and cleaning up my inbox, sent items and deleting emails. Try to contact them via email for over 3 months and never got a reply!
    I just used the suggested configuration and my Entourage (email app for MAC) is working perfetcly. I can visualise all my online folders now!
    Thank you so much!
    mBox never addressed the issue and the duplicated emails reached new levels of annoyance but the good thing is that Hotmail and Outlook.com finally rolled out support for IMAP.
    Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com

    No more duplication issues once you switch over, and no need for a third party (mBox)software to bridge the missing feature gap.

  • Which conversion software can I download to mac to convert outlook .pst files to mac .mbox files?

    Can anyone recommend software I can ddownload to an iMac to convert outlook .pst files stored on a memory stick to .mbox files for transfer to mac mail?  I have mail files I set up in outlook I need to transfer to my new mac, but have no internet connection on pc, so can't download anything on to it and have had to export .pst files to a usb stick.

    Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

  • Do you copyemail from a PC running windows live mail? I have attempted to use Thunderbird and was successful in converting the live mail files to Mbox format but when I tried to import these files to the Mac only one message from each file was shown.

    I am having a problem trying to migrate some old email messages from a PC running Windows live mail.
    I downloaded Thunderbird to the PC and imported the email messages and folders into Thunderbird and was able to create Mbox files for all the folders and messages. I  copied these files to a usb stick and then tried to export the folders and messages to my iMac running Lion. It appeared  to copy the folders to the Mac but only one message per folder was placed on the computer. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed to copy these email messages over? Thanks.

  • Mac os 10.5.6.  vs.  digidesign mbox mini---Garageband wont detect mbox

    I have my Motif ES6 pluged into my mbox mini which is plugged into my macbook....garageband does not detect my interface. i used to upload tracks like this on a older model mac,,,,,it worked just fine....now that i just got this new one...i can't do the same thing....I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO To get my tracks to get recorded on GARAGEBAND?????? HELP! ASAP

    Thank you for your time and advice.
    When I set the Input Source to Mono there is no sound coming from the microphone into Garageband.
    There are 6 mono options: Mono 1 (Didgidesign MBox2 Pro) - Mono 6 (Digidesign MBox2 Pro). And 3 stereo Options: Stereo 1/2, Stereo 3/4, & Stereo 5/6.
    The only one that produces sound from the microphone is Stereo 1/2. when I choose the other options no sound appears when I press record.
    (The Mic is plugged into Input 1 if that helps at all)

  • Mac Mini, Audacity and recording from vinyl and CD

    I'd like to record some of my vinyl and CD collection but I've tried following the Audacity instructions but I can't get them to work. Either I don't seem to have the right Line In / Line Out or I seem to have everything right but it just doesn't work.
    I play my vinyl and CDs on separates that are hooked up to my mac via an R8 Jack (?). Is it possible to use audacity to record from them?

    Hi, what is an R8 jack? Do your devices output Line level?
    Audio in/optical audio in port ...
    The Audio In port accommodates both digital optical input and analog audio input.
    Analog audio line input is accepted through a 3.5mm mini phone jack. The sound input port accepts line-level stereo signals up to 24-bit stereo 44.1-192kHz sampling rate. It also accepts a stereo miniplug-to-RCA cable adapter for connecting stereo equipment to the computer.
    Optical audio input is SPDIF format and uses a standard TOSLINK cable with a TOSLINK mini-plug adapter, accepting up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-96kHz sampling rate.
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

  • HOW DOES THE NEW MBOX 2 MINI WORK WITH THE MAC MINI?

    I have a old original Mac mini 1.25GHz with 1 GB SDRAM - 40GB Ultra ATA drive, 4x SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) OS 10.3
    I also have just added the new MAC MINI 1.66 CTO OS 10.4
    with the following configuration:
    * Processor 065-6673 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo
    * Memory 065-6676 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM-2x512
    * Hard Drive 065-6750 120GB Serial ATA drive
    * Optical Drive 065-6679 Combo Drive
    In addition, I have a MicroNet 150 GB external hard drive.
    The 3 are linked together so that the icons for the MircroNet and the old Mac mini are shown on the New Mac mini desktop.
    I’ve kept the New MM as is for apps, moved most of the files and folders to the MNet, and have done a reinstall on the old MM, getting rid of almost everthing that was on it originally except the OSX and apps.
    I’m thinking about using the old MM to set up a recording studio. This would involve the new MBox 2 Mini with ProTools LE. For details, just Google it. It comes 2 ways, configured for the G4 MM or for the new Intel MM. I’d rather not clutter up the new MM with this, as sometimes the Digidesign Pro Tools apps can be a bit toxic.
    If I get the MBox 2 Mini and run it on the old MM, will this work? Has anyone tried this? Do I have enough processing power and speed, ram and hard drive space?
    Thanks!

    MAC MINI 1.66 Intel Core Duo, Mac mini 1.25GHz MicroNet 150 GB external hard drive.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Larry,
    I just purchased a Mbox 2 Mini. I am running it flawlessly with my Core Duo 1.66Ghz Mac mini w/2GB RAM.
    I have not seen the two versions for Intel and PPC Macs as you described. Digidesign only produces one box...compatible with Mac or PC.
    The Digidesign site states that the Mbox 2 Mini is compatible with your 1.25GHz mini, but Pro Tools LE 7.3.x requires Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x, not Panther 10.3.x.
    You would get far better perfomance using the Intel mini over the PPC. And, you would get better perfomance by maxing the RAM out as well.

    Please be aware that Mavericks is not supported with any Pro Tools system as of May 2014, there are a number of issues that make Pro Tools unstable. If you are buying a new computer Mavericks will be the supplied OS.
    Please get advice from your Pro Tools authorised reseller and from the Pro Tools community discussions on your specific system from folk who know and use Pro Tools inside out.

    If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

  • CAN I SAFELY download the free audacity library mp3 file to my Macbook Air MAC OS X 10.6.8 through the audacity option button??

    CAN I SAFELY download the free audacity library mp3 file (libmpslame.dylib) to my Macbook Air MAC OS X 10.6.8 through the audacity option button without crushing my computer?? Also (since my friend installed audacity I can only get out of it by force quitting. Am I doing something wrong?

    I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
    Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
    I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.
