Mixer for Mac?

I do quite a few trainings for my job and use my MacBook Pro to create Power Points with embedded video clips and also use iDVD to show movies I have created. I am trying to find a microphone mixer that will integrate both the sound on my Mac as well as the meeting room's sound so I can be amplified as well as my computer. I am tired of using my small external speakers and holding my lapel microphone up to the speakers to amplify the clips! Someone suggested the Shure SCM268 4-Channel Microphone Mixer.
Any other thoughts?

Try an Ashly MX-406...

    Actually, after scouring the web, I see that RogueAmoeba also has a free utility called LineIn which simply sends the audio in to the audio out and doesn't interfere with other programs like iTunes!
    On the other hand, after downloading and trying it, there is a noticeable latency between what goes in and what comes out.
    The latency is in the computer, not the software. Most of the latency is in the A/D and D/A conversion.
    You need to connect the analog input to the analog output directly to get zero latency.

  • Hi, Please help. I accidentally deleted my entire Iphoto Library. I used Stellar Phoenix 4.1 and I do believe that I recovered all. I recovered to "My Passport" for Mac External HD. Files are all mixed up, best way to import back?

    Hi, a couple days ago, I was orgainizing my Iphoto libray. Then, I thought that I was emptying my trash on Iphoto. (the ones I deleted when orgainizing) after hitting are you sure button, I realized that it was 209 files with 18,000+ photos. So I frantically stopped iphoto from "saving critical information" thinking If I left it open I could copy all my files over to (I beleive somewhere in finder under pictures?) I thought, but it most have been under the applications folder. Well this is where I really messed up. So after saving every file to that section, and everything was normal again on iphoto, I decided to make space and delete them from where I put them. So instead of selecting each file indivually, I used the select ALL button. Only to find that it deleted EVERYTHING. Iphoto (the file) was apparently at the bottom of the page along with Nikon Transfer, Lightroom 2 and god knows what else. That is when I found a data recovery software program (Stellar Phoenix 4.1mac) 17 hours later it found 159GB. I read enough to know that I HAD to go and buy an external HD. (even though I already own Time Capsule, but I never hooked it up ) was confused about if I could actually use that for this matter so, I just went and bought My Passport an external HD for Mac. Plugged it in, and recovered what looks like all my files (hopefully) did also read enough that I knew NOT to use my computer after this occured.
    Now that you all know how I got into this mess, I would like to know the best way to import the files back? Ok I know this sounds easy, but all the files are scattered everywhere on the HD. Is there a way to put them back on my Mac Book Pro that would possibly put them in some kind of order? Date? Image file number? Anything? 18,000 photos to reorgainze is going to be brutal. I can reinstall Lightroom 2, if i can locate where I put the disk. And I also have CS5. Also wondering if the quality of the photo was affected?  I did get them back, so I am not complaining but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Will be turning on Time Machine and hooking up Time Capsule as well. Should I also use my new HD along with capsule? Any advice on that matter would also be greatly appreciated as well!!!!!
    Thanks, Michelle

  • Cisco Jabber for Mac - Directory Lookup and Contact Fields

    Hello,
    After having issues myself with Cisco Jabber for Mac 9.2 specifically with Active Directory lookups not working, or contact information not populating (and therefore not being able to call users from the contact list as no telephone information exists) I am including a sample jabber-config.xml file that works for me.
    Please note: there are many different ways to configure this. What I will be showing is the method that works for me and my deployment, which is pretty standard.
    As always and as a disclaimer, once again, this is what has worked for my deployment scenario. Always keep backups of your configuration files, and always be mindful of anything you have configured already, especially in the jabber-config.xml file.
    Background
    My deployment is based on CUCM 9, with 1 publisher and 2 subscribers. I also have a CUCM IM & Presence 9.0 server. This assumes that you have already configured your deployment and Jabber is functioning already, albeit with the aforementioned issues.
    As for Active Directory, my deployment will be based on Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers running in native 2008 mode. For this example, we will be searching directly against one of the DCs with a Global Catalogue role. Please be aware that in large deployments you will have to plan accordingly with regards to lookup traffic from Jabber clients to the DCs.
    Also, as of Cisco Jabber for Mac 9, the client no longer can search via the CUCM internal directory (which may be made of local end users, Active Directory synced users, or a mix of both) and this must be done via a LDAP mechanism.
    Scenario
    In this deployment scenario, Cisco Jabber for Windows is working properly - you can search and add people from Active Directory, and contacts in your contact list have all the appropriate fields populated from Active Directory. However, when trying the same with Jabber for Mac, Jabber for iPhone or Jabber for iPad you notice that you cannot perform a directory lookup, and if you add people directly (for example, [email protected]) the user only has the IM field populated. No telephone, email or additional information is displayed.
    Solution
    Whereas Cisco Jabber for Windows uses the EDI mechanism (native Windows), whereby when running from a computer that is on the domain (or in the event that you are search for contacts in another Active Directory domain where a domain trust exists) , Jabber for Mac / iPhone / iPad uses the BDI mechanism.
    In this case, you will need to provision a jabber-config.xml file that you will upload to your TFTP server (or Publisher) that will be "downloaded" by your Jabber for Mac client and also used by the iPhone and iPad client. You can configure many options in the jabber-config.xml file, but for this example we will place just the information that we need to order for these clients to request and display Active Directory information.
    Please note that the configuration may vary depending on your deployment, but at the very least we will be:
    - Configuring a DC where we will perform the lookup.
    - Configure credentials that will be used to perform the lookup. This will be an Active Directory account that has read rights on the Active Directory domain. Please note that these credentials are saved in plain text in the file, so ensure that the account that you will be using is not privileged.
    - Configure the server port that we will be using to perform the lookup.
    - Configure the Search Base. This is basically where we want the directory lookup to happen. You can either choose for this lookup to start at the "base" of the domain (and therefore the search will iterate through all the user accounts and and OUs below the root base) or define a specific OU where you want to search.
    Caution!
    - There is a current limitation with Cisco Jabber for Mac whereby you can only have 1 search base configured. Please keep this in mind if, like me, you have multiple OUs (like an OU for each company in your organization) and under these OUs you have sub OUs as a user account container.
    - If using the top level search base, unless you specify a filter, you will potentially be able to search for all user accounts in the domain. You will need to configure the <BDIBaseFilter> parameter if you want to fine tune your search ability.
    Steps
    These are the steps I have followed. Other steps or considerations may vary.
    - Log in to your TFTP server and download the jabber-config.xml file and keep it as a backup. If you are already using the jabber-config.xml file for other purposes, do not worry - you can add your BDI information parameters inside.
    - Remove the jabber-config.xml file
    - Edit the jabber-config.xml file and configure thus:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <config version="1.0">
        <Directory>
            <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
            <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
            <BDIPrimaryServerName>DOMAIN CONTROLLER IP ADDRESS</BDIPrimaryServerName>
            <BDIPresenceDomain>YOUR PRESENCE DOMAIN</BDIPresenceDomain>
            <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
            <BDISearchBase1>YOUR SEARCH BASE</BDISearchBase1>
            <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
            <BDIConnectionPassword>PASSWORD</BDIConnectionPassword>
            <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
        </Directory>
    </config>
    For example, let´s assume the following:
    - Domain controller IP address is 10.1.1.2 .
    - Your presence domain is test.local .
    - Your search base will be test.local using the top level of the domain.
    - Your username with which you will be doing your searches is called walt . Usually you can either identify walt as test.local\walt or [email protected] . It is always best, in these sort of scenarios, to use the UPN convention so we will be configuring a [email protected] .
    - The password is the Active Directory password for the account walt .
    - I have disabled TLS in my case. There are issues with the Jabber for Mac client when using other security methods.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <config version="1.0">
        <Directory>
            <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
            <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
            <BDIPrimaryServerName>10.1.1.2</BDIPrimaryServerName>
            <BDIPresenceDomain>test.local</BDIPresenceDomain>
            <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
            <BDISearchBase1>DC=test,DC=local</BDISearchBase1>
            <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
            <BDIConnectionPassword>walt01!</BDIConnectionPassword>
            <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
        </Directory>
    </config>
    One you have configured the jabber-config.xml file, you will now need to upload it to you TFTP server. Once uploaded, you will need to restart the Cisco TFTP service. Again, my TFTP server is on my CUCM publisher, so:
    - I go to Cisco Unified OS Administration on my Publisher server, TFTP File Management and I upload jabber-config.xml to / directory
    - I then go to Cisco Unified Serviceability on my Publisher server, I locate the Cisco TFTP service and I restart the service
    Once this is done, you can figure up your Jabber for Mac client. As a test, on your Mac (using Terminal) go to:
    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Cisco/Unified Communications/Jabber/Config
    In here you will see several files, but what we want to see is jabber-config.xml . As soon as you start the Jabber for Mac client and log in, the jabber-config.xml file will download from your TFTP server and get saved here. When you see it appear, just type in your terminal window more jabber-config.xml and make sure that the output is the same as the xml file you created.
    From there, try doing directory search. If you have previously added contacts and they still lack attribute information, you will need to remove them (sometimes it will not refresh properly) and add them again from the directory.
    I will be updating this guide and ammending anything that is incorrect, but this is meant to be a quick checklist and steps to get this, at least in the most very basic version, up and running for Jabber for Mac.

    Hello, 
    Thanks for this post! It works, I can do lookup and also I can add found contact to contact list and get information about contact from LDAP.
    One more question: - I can't get all information about contact. I don't get e.c mobile phone number and more others attributes. I have tried to expand your file as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <config version="1.0">
        <Directory>
            <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
            <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
            <BDIPrimaryServerName>IP of AD</BDIPrimaryServerName>
            <BDIPresenceDomain>Presence Domain</BDIPresenceDomain>
            <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
            <BDISearchBase1> Search Base</BDISearchBase1>
            <BDIConnectionUsername>User</BDIConnectionUsername>
            <BDIConnectionPassword>Password</BDIConnectionPassword>
            <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
            <BDISipUri>msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress</BDISipUri>
            <BDIPhotoSource>thumbnailPhoto</BDIPhotoSource>
            <BDIBusinessPhone>telephoneNumber</BDIBusinessPhone>
            <BDIMobilePhone>mobile</BDIMobilePhone>
            <BDIHomePhone>homePhone</BDIHomePhone>
            <BDIOtherPhone>otherTelephone</BDIOtherPhone>
            <BDITitle>title</BDITitle>
            <BDICompanyName>company</BDICompanyName>

            <BDIStreetAddress>streetAddress</BDIStreetAddress>
        </Directory>
    </config>
    But it didn't help.
    When I capture lookup via Wireshark, I can see that Jabbers sends search request with bunch of attributes, but from LDAP answer contains only 8 attributes. (see attached screenshots)

  • I recently upgraded my iMac to 10.9.2 Nothing but problems since. Cannot connect reliably to a mixed pc/mac network at work, hangs at start up, hangs at shut down. Please help!

    Can anyone offer suggestions as to why since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 I can no longer access a mixed pc/mac network? Previous to the upgrade, I did not have any problems. Other macs within my office can still access it, so I know it is not a network based issue. It exists in my machine only, and the other matching machine that exists in the office did NOT do the upgrade and has no problems. (Bummer for me)
    I have:
    Reset the PRAM
    Reset the SMC
    Turned off the network Wifi and rebooted, then turned it on again, still ridicously slow when I try and connect to shared pc server. I can connect to other macs though.
    Seems to alternate between a normal start up time, and a ridicously slow start up time with no apparent connecting reason as to why
    I have a shared HP Laser printer on the network that is working with other computers accessing it, perhaps this is the conflict? It is in Wifi mode, but the software is loaded on my computer. However, prior to the upgrade, I had no problems.
    My mail crashed shortly after installing 10.9.2, but I did finally get that up and running, but sometimes it loads and tells me that there is "No Mailbox Selected" in the initial opening Mail window. This is new, it never used to do that. I can select "Inbox" and see my mail, but I never used to need this step.
    When I try and access the shared network that has always worked previously, it now will not load the shared docs and folders, just sits there, and hangs. Sometimes it will load the folders after about 5 minutes, but will not allow me to open them.
    I do not run any virus protection software.
    Any ideas? I would be infinitely grateful for suggestions.

    Your download or install of the update may have been corrupt. Visit the Mac App Store and re-download the update or visit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 and download the 10.9.2 update combo and re-install.
    If that fails to solve the problem please post back and post a EtreCheck Report which you can locate at:

  • What is BDI or BDS spelled out? Jabber for Mac 9.2(1) Installation and Configuration Guide

    I’m spending the day catching up on Jabber/IM&P release notes across the server/clients.
    So I’m used to EDI and UDS, but we have a new acronym in the Jabber for Mac 9.2(1) Installation and Configuration Guide called BDI and BDS. However they don’t define what BDI stands for other than BDI is LDAP for non-windows
    Clients and suggests it should be used for Jabber for Mac.
    What is BDI or BDS spelled out? Something directory integration, but what is the B ?
    Then to add to the mix they reference BDS which sounds like the old UDS (is UDS changing to BDS?)
    How can Jabber get any more confusing…
    I also noted in the  Jabber Video for iPad 9.3.4 release notes that Apple is removing the Always Connect option in the near future. Manually launching Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client before making a call. This is going to upset some customers who like how Lync uses https and just works from anywhere with enhanced directory integration…

    Basic Directory Integration. It's not new, we had it in the Windows clients as far back as CUPC. The distinction got introduced when EDI was introduced, relying on Windows ADSI APIs instead of the client making a native LDAP bind.
    To my knowledge BDI/BDS are the same thing; I'm guessing S is 'service'. UDS remains unchanged.
    I also noted in the  Jabber Video for iPad 9.3.4 release notes that Apple is removing the Always Connect option in the near future.
    Well, they lost a patent infringement lawsuit and chose to change the functionality instead of pay the troll. That's not Jabber's fault. Collaboration Edge will be the way to avoid this in the near future.
    Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

    I'm sure that this is 64-bit

    I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
    correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.

    CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you

    Hi, Colin,
    My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
    (Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
    did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
    To start, try the following:
    1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
    2. Open Java Preferences again
    3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
    Plugin and Applications)
    4. Open Terminal
    5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
    6. Try to start CF again
    This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
    supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
    default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
    and easier).
    If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
    folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
    /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
    is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
    yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
    necessary!
    Best,

  • Good, reasonably priced USB Sticks for Mac?

    Hello,
    can somebody help me out here please? I am in need of a USB Stick to transfer my important web-development data from my Mac Mini here (in Austria) to my father's Mac Book Pro in Scotland. The problem is that my local Apple retailer can only offer me some 4GB USB Stick for a hundred euro.
    I'm probably going to have to buy one such device online, but which? I want one, that works well with Mac, and should probably function well with Windows too. Since there are so many sites to purchase hardware like that at varying prices, there is no real way to talk to someone who can show me what's best for me, as I would in the Apple store.
    A hundred euro for 4GB is a little too much for my budget, so hopefully one of you has the overview needed to know which brand or even exact device would suit me best.
    -Thanks-

    If 4Gb is sufficient for your needs and you can't source an I/O Magic gigabank, then you might consider the 4Gb Lexar JumpDrive Firefly - it certainly works with Macs and PCs, and while it's not particularly fast for writing, read performance is pretty good, and it's very durable.
    It can also be bought in the UK from Dell - http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/products/USBMemoryKeys/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=390-10038#Overview
    There's also an 8gb own-brand device at Dabs (http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=4F59&CategorySelectedId=11152&Pag eMode=1&NavigationKey=11152,4294955928&InMerch=1) which claims mixed PC/Mac compatibility - and based on my experience of that supplier, I would be prepared to believe them.

  • Audio Mixer to Mac

    I just bought a Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer for use with a Shure microphone. I just want to record vocals with it. I didn't think about the inputs from the mixer to the Mac until after I bought it. The mixer has two 1/4 out's. I bought a cable that has two mono 1/4 out to a stereo 1/8. The people at the store told me that wouldn't work, that the audio in on the Mac wasn't good enough quality for good recording. They suggested a USB imput device instead. That's not true, is it? The audio in is optical quality, isn't it?
    Thanks!

    The input may be a combined optical and analogue, I don't know the computer, but in any case the Behringer provides an analogue output and you have the correct cable. The line input on Macs is usually pretty good, though there is often a small amount of noise - you may very well find that it is insignificant. Give it a try: if you aren't happy then a simple analogue to USB interface will be absolutely fine - for plain stereo there is no need at all to go for an expensive FireWire interface (these are needed for multiple inputs).

  • Problem with Import Computer Information Wizard not doing check for MAC or GUID already in database

    Hi,
    My client is using SCCM 2012 RTM in a standalone site.
    Yesterday, a technician was preparing computers to deploy OS. He was in a replace scenario and mistakenly mixed the MAC address of the source computer with the one of the new computer.
    So when importing computer information for the new one, he entered the wrong MAC address; the one of the source computer already existing in the SCCM database.
    I expected the Import Computer Information wizard to generate an error, but no, the import was successful resulting with the source computer DDR being overwritten...
    We spent (and lost) time recreating the DDR for the source computer so we could create the computer association for USMT migration.
    2 years ago, I opened a call with Microsoft for the exact same issue with SCCM 2007. At that time, they told me that no hotfix would be developped for this bug since there was a workaround (overwritten DDR will re-create itself with Heartbeat
    discovery over time) and SCCM 2012 was coming up.
    It seems to me that they forgot to fix the issue in 2012. It doesn't seem to be fixed with SP1 as I didn't find anything about it in SP1 doc..
    Can someone confirm this bug and can Microsoft do something? Or is there a hotfix already available for it?
    Tnx

    Well you could always remove the Delete Resource permission from the technicians User Rights :P
    The option to not overwrite the existing computer object, is right there in the SDK.
    So it's anyone's guess, why they haven't added an checkbox in the Import Computer Information wizard and why overwrite is set as the default.
    Anyways...you can use the following PowerShell script instead of the Import Wizard.
    Just open up a PowerShell console, type in . X:\Path\To\Script\ScriptName.ps1 and
    then type New-SCCMComputer
    Or you can create a shortcut with the following target %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command . X:\Path\To\Script\New-SCCMComputer.ps1; New-SCCMComputer
    You will need to change the default values for $SiteServer and $SiteCode to your environment
    Function New-SCCMComputer
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] $SiteServer = "Server.Domain.Local",
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] $SiteCode = "PS1",
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,HelpMessage="Please Enter the Computers Name")] $ResourceName,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,HelpMessage="Please Enter the Computers MAC ")] $ResourceMAC
    #ImportComputer
    $WMIConnection = ([WMIClass]"\\$($SiteServer)\root\SMS\Site_$($SiteCode):SMS_Site")
    $NewEntry = $WMIConnection.psbase.GetMethodParameters("ImportMachineEntry")
    $NewEntry.MACAddress = $ResourceMAC
    $NewEntry.NetbiosName = $ResourceName
    $NewEntry.OverwriteExistingRecord = $False
    $Resource = $WMIConnection.psbase.InvokeMethod("ImportMachineEntry",$NewEntry,$null)
    if ($Resource)
    if ($Resource.MachineExists) {
    Write-Host "ERROR: MACAddress allready exists" -foregroundcolor red
    } else {
    Write-Host "Succesfully imported the computer information" -foregroundcolor green
    } else {
    Write-Host "ERROR: Could not import the computer information" -foregroundcolor red

  • First sync with desktop manager for mac: only 300 contacts synced instead of the 1100

    I have a Curve 8310. version 4
     I have a brand new mac with NO CONTACTS or calendar.
     I have preciously very successfully synced with my windows computer for 2 years.
    I have just tried for the first time to sync with desktop manager,.only 315 contacts synced of the 1100.
    The apple  people recommend using Mark/Space" missing Sync" but I am reluctant to do this as the reviews are mixed.
    Help?

    Hi there.
    Have been using my BB Pearl 8100 on and off since Oct 08.
    I have successfully synced with a Vaio (XP Pro) using BBDM (up to version 4.6) as well as iMac OS 10.5.8 using PocketMac for BB v4.1 and now BBDM for Mac. Have synced with iCal, Mail, Contacts (albeit 647)
    PocketMac can be a little temperamental, but not that much of a prob as when i downloaded it was free (shareware) and the only alternative was Missing Sync.

  • Question for Mac users re: slideshows

    I am new to Mac and have used PSE for PC for years. I used to be able to create a slideshow directly from PSE and add music, etc, but I no longer see that ability on PSE for Mac. Can anyone direct me on how to create a slideshow with a soundtrack? Do I have to use iDVD?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dana

    Ken,
    From what I have read from people who are familiar - comparing Premiere Elements and Final Cut Express would be a better comparison. (Yes, I know that PRE costs about $85-100 and you said that FCE is about $200.) So the following comments exclude the capabilities of Premiere Elements.
    Also it seems that you and I have very different opinions about the PSE slide show. Despite the fact that I spend time attempting to help people survive making a slide show using the PSE slide show editor, I would never claim that it is anything but LIMITED and BASIC. I would not recommend that someone make a decision about Photoshop Elements based on its slide show capabilities.
    Perhaps the PSE panning and zooming is better or easier - but even it is limited in control. For audio and transitions, they are a constant source of complaint on these forums and others about how limited they are and when they don't work. For example, mixing music and narration does not work in PSE 6 or 7: timing of any audio in recent versions has been very imprecise (I think it was PSE 4 where there was last some more precise timing control for music/audio)
