Microphone connection for iBook G4

I have a iBook G4. I would like to connect my Shure wireless microphone receiver to the iBook. The receiver uses a 1/4 in cable,and has a power cord adapter. The ibook has the usb connector. How can i connect my wireless microphone to the usb port?

What's your budget, and what kind of quality are you reaching for?

  • Anyone have a spare microphone cable for ibook G3 12 inch

    Anyone have a spare microphone cable for ibook G3 12 inch? I pulled the wire from the connector when replacing my logic board.

    Don't have a spare one lying around, but We Love Macs has a new one for sale:

  • Connect broken ibook to new macbook pro for data recovery

    Greetings all. I'm a long time mac user but this is my first post on the forums. Hope you folks can help me out.
    I want to transfer information from my old ibook g4 (running OS 10.5.?) to my new MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.3). The catch is the ibook's monitor is not working, but the hard drive is. Also I don't have a firewire cable to connect the 2 computes or (option 2) a cable that would allow me to connect the ibook to an external monitor. In order to get either of those cables I will have to find them online as the closest store is 2.5 hours away.
    As far as I can tell the ibook's wireless is still working but I don't think sharing is turned on...
    Can any of you think of a way I could make a wireless network btw the computers? I know the ibooks passwords etc...is there any way I can get in to the ibook and turn sharing on without having use of its monitor?
    Any ideas would be really helpful. Mac support said there is no way...but common I've done amazing things with my Mac there must be a way!
    Here's how this all came about:
    Last Monday my husband was using my sacred ibook G4, which has given me 6 years of flawless service and was continuing to work perfect until this day. He picked it up to move it to the living room and accidentally dropped it. It landed, open and running, on one of it's hinges, instantly smashing it.
    After taking the ibook apart and assessing the damage we decided the best option was replacement hence my brand new Macbook pro.
    There is no visible damage to the ibooks lcd screen, but somewhere in the components is/are lose connections preventing the monitor from working. The frame on the side where the power cable plugs in, at the monitors hinge, broke and damaged a green wire connected to the screen.
    Thanks for your consideration folks. I'd sure like to get the info off the ibook. PS my husband feels terrible about what happened but on the plus side hello new laptop!

    bug,
    Apparently the transfer stopped part way through.
    Hmm that doesn't make a lot of sense unless....
    on the now exposed area, touches the frame the external monitor will stop working.
    So you must absolutely prevent that from happening..
    the external monitor will stop working.
    You're probably dragging the graphics chip down when that happens or causing a logic board power spike (probably negative) that crashes that chip or worse the CPU. What can happen if that keeps on is that a tiny fuse that's about a 1/32" wide and 1/8" long can blow on the logic board. It's in the inverter driver circuit. That will require someone to perform a microsolder repair. The other thing that could happen is that the inverter driver could blow up and that would be fatal afa the internal display is concerned.
    OK so I'm a little confused here:
    able to confirm that when plugged into a monitor the computer still works.
    .. the ibook monitor still powers up do you think it may be possible to repair the current monitor?..Computer starts up fine, monitor powers up as well but does not display any images other than blue blank screen
    So the computer was working and now it's not?
    I think you should stop trying to run the computer with that inverter cable damaged. If you can't affect a repair you should probably unplug the inverter cable. The bottom would have to come off as well as the lower shield.
    I happen to have a 14" 1.42 GHz iBook taken apart and can send you pictures of the position of that cable's socket if you email me. (I'm attempting a PMU swap with this 1.42).
    I'd like to get my info back
    So with that cable disconnected you'd need to see if the iBook will go into target mode.
    If not then I'd disconnect the LVDS cable and try it w/ the external monitor. Now that's going to require that the upper case come off as well as the upper shield. There are many gottchas to doing this, the worst of which is damaging the power button socket on the logic board.
    Ultimately you might have to pull the hard drive and use an external case/USB adapter to recover that info.
    they ran into problems during the transfer but they couldn't explain what happened
    "they" seem a bit inept!

  • Connecting iBook G3 as second monitor for iBook G4

    I want to know if (and then how) I can connect my iBook G4 (running on OSX (10.4.5)) to an iBook G3, ultimately connecting the iBook G3 to a data projector, so that I can use presenter tools in PowerPoint.
    iBook G4, iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook G3 will be connected to the data projector
    iMac G5; iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    If I understand what you want to do, you want to use another iBook as a second monitor. Is that correct? If so, there's no way to get video into the second iBook. There's only a video output. You can connect your iBook to another monitor now or to a video projector. The image on the second monitor would mirror the iBook's. Screen Spanning Doctor allows you to have the desktop span across two monitors. Be aware though that SPDr is a system hack and could void your warranty if you use it.

  • I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hi, I have the  iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hello Glittergirl68,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
    I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
    If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    2. Check for app updates
    You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If  prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
    Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    4. Restart the app
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
    5. Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    6. Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and then download it again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Microphone calibration for a sound level meter

    Hi I need an application for measure sound level by using the sound and vibration toolkit and severl microphones as input, but I don´t get the same values as a portable Phonic portable meter. I´m using a 60db gain preamplifier but when i use this value in the pregain scale voltaje to EU block I don´t get any value, but if I use -60 it works! is that correct?  on the other hand, I´ve seen a calibrate microphone block for the traditional daqmx  but I dont understand how to use it and I cant find examples. Do you have one? I have a cDAQ with 9205 A-input card.   Also, if I use the PC microphone input to get the data do I have to put an pregain value for the scale voltaje to EU block?
    I need dome help please. Thanks a lot.

    ¡Hi mario_rojas!
    I checked the documentation and SVL Calibrate Microphone (DAQmx) VI if you run it with the proper configuration it will measure the sensitivity of the microphone connected to the channel you specify.  Can you tell me what version of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit you are using? There are some specific inputs that you need to configure, but I need to know the version to tell you the values you need.
    About the -60dB gain, it should work with +60. When I have the version of the toolkit I can check this out for you.
    About the question for the PC microphone, you should not have to input a pregain value, since you do not have an intermediate amplifier between the microphone and the daq board, you just need to find the sensor sensitivity. We can use the SVL Calibrate Microphone (DAQmx) VI to find out if we don’t have that data in the specs.
    I think we are dealing with the same problem in this forum:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=36845
     I think it’s better if we continue working in one forum. Please let me know if this is the same issue, and if it is, in what forum would you prefer to keep posting.

  • Lack of connectivity to iBooks?

    I downloaded Maverick and with it came iBooks. When I click on the icon the iBooks Page opens and when I click on iBooks Store i get the message Cannot connect to iBooks Store. I have connectivity to iTunes and everything else on the internet with full wireless service but cannot connect to the iBooks store. Anyone else have this problem?

  • Connecting Your IBOOK to your Car

    Hello peoples,
    I'm just wondering if anyone in the 'ibook' world has ever connected their ibook with their vehicles.
    What I mean by connecting, is setting up it so it is secured somehow, so it doesn't bounce around while you drive, using your car stereo speakers instead of the ibook ones, and of course a way to run the machine via a power supply.
    The power supply issue is the easiest thing to remedy. The other two are the biggest challenges i'm having.
    Cheers

    Hi George,
    I actually do this... as I often travel with the iBook in tow, and the amount of .mp3 files it can store is much larger than what the SD card on my Treo 650 store.
    I had to strip the car down to the wiring harness to do this ! The problem in my car (perhaps like other cars) is the so called "premium sound system" - specifically the mfr put the preamp in the back of the car (no doubt due to space considerations). So what you have is the head unit in the front of the car, routing low level signal to the preamp and the preamp routing directly to the speakers *with no return of those speaker leads to the front of the car (where the head unit goes). This setup is probably typical of such "premium sound system" type vehicles, ie, you wont have direct access to the speaker leads at the front of the car. In my case, I wanted these leads because the wimpy vehicle preamp the mfr used I knew would be no match for the 600 watt amps I wanted to use. So quite alot of custom wiring done to my vehicle but - the end result is that I can now plug my Treo 650 or my iBook and play anything loaded on either of those devices in my car, and should the moment strike, loud is the word ! When plugged in, and if it rings, my Treo caller can be heard thru the car stereo, and thats pretty cool.
    To balance the iBook as Im driving, I use a swatch of teak (just a piece of wood) and the "CoolPad" to keep it cool and elevated. I make a hard habit of limiting messing with either device at all, ever, when Im actually moving !!!!
    This setup also works great to preview my audio compositions done in GB, although, Im no pro composer.
    Hope this helps,

  • Need guidance for ePubs for iBooks

    I'm a professional formatter and have converted files to ePubs for several years. Now some of my clients want to upload directly to iBooks with an Author account. Since I'm a PC person I don't work with MACs although I myself have an Apple account (I have an iPad and iPhone). Lately several clients have gotten stopped at the upload because Apple says that the file they are trying to upload has spaces (that's the way my conversion software saves ePubs). So my question, should I be sending my clients special ePub files for iBooks with new space-less file names? It's not a problem, I just need to know to do this. All of my ePubs are validated through IDPF.

    I found this at p. 46 of the iBookstore asset guide:
    "All characters in the URIs must be valid with non-alphanumeric characters properly encoded (e.g., space should be encoded as '%20'). This problem most often surfaces in URIs in the NCX files and is due to spaces included in filenames. "
    Via an account at iTunes Connect, you can normally get all the various guides produced by Apple regarding books (BookProoferUserGuide, iBookstore - Publisher User Guide, iTunesConnect_Publisher UserGuide)

  • Wrt120n Intermittent Wireless Connection For Specific Apple Devices

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded my Linksys wrt120n router firmware & had to reconfigure settings.  Subsequently, some (but not all) of my apple devices are having intermittent wirelesss connection problems.  Specifically, my ipad1 & ipad2 never lose thier connection but a macbook pro (~ 2 years old), iphone 3g, iphone 4, older ipod touch & very old ibook g4 all work for a period of time (usually 1/2 day) & then lose thier connection.  When I attempt to reconnect these devices I receive the following error..."unable to join the network xxxxxx....".  I also have a Dell laptop (1 1/2 yrs old) that generally does not have the connection problem.  Finally, when the devices do lose thier network connection all I have to do to reconnect is go to the Linkys router setup webpage & click on save & the wireless connection works again (almost like this is just refreshing the connection for these specific apple devices).  I was not having any problem prior to the firmware upgrade & from what I have read the older firmware version is no longer available so going back to the old firmware does not appear to be an option.  Any help is appreciated?

    Let me know the name of the ISP? Let me know the ip address that you are getting from the router. To check the IP address that you are getting from the Router...
    You can check the IP address in the following manner:
    # Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
    # A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
    There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
    # Open up the browser on the desktop and on the address bar type “Address of the Default Gateway” that will open up the Router setup page…
    # On the same set up page reduce the MTU size to 1400 from Auto.
    # Then Click on wireless Tab select Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, and 11. Click Save Settings.
    Secondly avoid using any other wireless devices like cordless phones, microwave oven etc nearer to the router. Then check the wireless connectivity.
