Midi Keyboard Won't Record On My Computer. Need to figure this out quickly

Question

Well it'll record, but sound only plays when my synthesizer (A Juno G) is connected. Once I disconnect it, an error message pops up and no sound is played from the recording. This is pretty useless to me since I won't use the synthesizer for live performances, just for at home recording. There has to be a way to record sounds directly from the keyboard, though the USB Midi port that I'm using, and into logic just like my MPK49 does. The whole reason I bought the synthesizer was to use the built-in sounds for my music.
Also, I searched through my keyboard and Logic manual and I do have the synthesizer's driver installed and all that stuff so I'm thinking it must just be a setting I have wrong.

Ok so the audio output would be a port that wasn't midi then?
Besides the midi usb output, it has a separate midi in and midi out as well as 4 individual A and B output jacks and the headphones jack. I'm assuming that I would have to get some sort of connector to use with the output jacks so I can connect it with my computer.
I tried connecting just a double male sided headphone jack wire to the synth and my computer but that doesn't work either. Didn't expect it to allow me to record from the synth onto my computer, but I figured it would play the juno through my computer speakers. It doesn't, though.
So how would I get Logic to play back the MIDI track and record the audio at the same time?
First, in the Preferences/Audio section you have to set the audio to built-in (not mic) Then you may have to go to Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and select Line-in as the Audio Input.
The Headphone jack to computer should have worked, set the volume on the juno at 1/2 to start. The headphone output goes to the Line-in on the mac.
Someone else will have to jump in here as I need to start rehearsal work and need to empty any technical stuff out of my brain!
Good luck
Oh, you record a MIDI track (create an external MIDI track) Set the Midi Interface to the Juno (probably already is) record the MIDI track, edit it, play it back while recording an audio track.
You REALLY need to sit down, read and learn what you're doing.
You can't expect the forum to help you every step of the way, how do you think we all learned?
