My external mic is detected in garageband but won't input any sound

I have a US-144 midi interface and a compressor mic I'm trying to record with. They record fine on iMovie and are inputing just fine into the computer. However, in Garageband, though it detects one midi-input and lets me choose the US-144 as the input in Garageband preferences, it doesn't detect any sound coming in. Help!

... a compressor mic ...
Condenser maybe?
As for your problem: have you selected the interface in GB's audio prefs? Have you created a real instrument (not a software instrument track) and selected the correct channel of your interface in the track info pane?

My external hard drive works on PC but won't even show up on my mac?

My external hard drive works on pc but won't even show up on my mac? What can I do?

If it is in the wrong format it must probably still show up though, if your mac does detect it, go to disk utilities> choose the device from the left hand side > go to the "erase" tab and change format to "Mac OS extended (Journaled) then hit "erase".
IMPRTANT! : this will erase ALL of the files on your external hard drive
If this dosent work, make sure your external hard drive's USB port is compatibe with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and also make sure your mac USB socket isnt damaged either.
Hope this helped

AIR seems to install but won't install any AIR apps

I installed AIR on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition, and it seems to install OK (no error messages). But when I go to install an AIR app (Yammer desktop in this case) it will not install the app and I never see the installer come up. This is a new computer that never had AIR on it. First I went ot the Yammer site to load the app there, as I did on my XP computer. The install started, but hung up. I was at work, so I let it sit for a few hours, but it was still hung. I then rebooted and tried to install using the offline installer. It seemed to install, but won't install any AIR apps. I have uninstalled/reinstalled AIR and Yammer but no change. I also tried uninistalling using the MS FixIt utility, but no difference. AIR seems installed but if I go to the Yammer web site, it tries to install AIR again. Log below.

Hi Tom,
Would you be willing to do a desktop sharing session with me so I can take a look at what is happening with your system? If so, please contact me at [email protected] If you want to try something immediately, I'd recommend creating a new, temporary, user account and seeing if you can install Yammer there. If so, log back into your normal account and try launching the installed Yammer app.
Thanks,
Chris

My Mac book air opens to m the password but won't go any further, it stop right there! what should i do? I am sure i have the right password

Here's an old fix for the problem. Don't know it applies now:
Clearing Caches to Fix Login Problem
You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
Start up in Single-user Mode. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Enter the following commands after the prompt:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press RETURN. Wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /Library/Preferences
rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
cd /Library/Caches
rm -r *
cd /System/Library
cd /System/Library/Caches
rm -r *
reboot
Press RETURN after each command.
This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
If it isn't applicable in your version of OS X, then I suggest:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following
procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
     Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
     the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                three times faster than wireless.

Safari 4.0.3 Starts but won't display any windows properly

Since accepting the update to Safari 4.0.3 this morning, Safari starts but will not display any windows, just the main application menu bar.
Trying new window has no effect and launching a history item either has no effect or safari crashes complaining that the crash could have had something to do with
libcooliris.dylib
I therefore removed /Library/InputManagers/Cooliris but this made no difference.
History flow displays but won't launch any windows and strangely Menu>History>Home opens a window but there are no tabs nor URL nor search bar, but there is only the history bar. The window is all grey including where the page should be.
Trying to open other history items in this window changes the title, but no page contents are displayed.
I also tried reinstalling 4.0.3. from the Apple website, but this made no difference.
Have you any idea what I could try next?
Thanks

Deleted all from /Library/InputManagers and problem solved.
I did have the following:
Cooliris
QuicKeysIM
Saft
DeliciousSafari
SIMBL
TabExpose
Not sure where the problem was, but did find the following in the log after running permissions fix in Disk Utility:

What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?
I'll now try to load the addins one by one to locate the problem.

My ipad(2) is plugged into my pc but won't charge-any ideas?

my ipad2 is plugged in but won't charge-any ideas--only 2 weeks old

Your PCs USB port is probably not capable of providing enough power to charge your iPad. It might be charging at a very slow rate and when your iPad is in sleep mode. Use the adapter provided with your iPad.

Hi!
Did You See If this Happens In Safe Mode?
On Startup After the Chime Hold Down Shift Then Release It When you see the Apple and the Progress Indicator(Spinning gear). This Boot Will take a Little Longer Than Normal.
If it Did Not Work Than There Might Be Something Wrong With The Disc Drive.
I HOPE THIS HELP:)

External mic not detected? (R705)

Hi all, I recently got an R705 but am having an issue with the mics. Somehow the computer can't detect any external mics that I have plugged in too the mic jack, and in turn doesn't disable the internal one. Whatever I try to record just gets picked up by the internal mic, nothing else.
I've gone through the Realtek settings to no avail, and can't find the usual windows volume control. (I assume the Realtek settings replaced them?) The microphone properties menu yielded no results either, none of the settings I tried allowed the external mic to work.
Any ideas? I hope it's just a software issue...
Thanks!

Interesting...I'm having the exact opposite problem w/my Satellite L455-S5975 laptop.
My computer can't detect the internal mic, but will detect the external mic when I plug something into the jack. The internal mic won't record anything. I'm trying to use it for Skype conferences.
I've also gone through the Realtek settings to no avail. When I trouble shoot I get the below screen. Problem is, I can't click the option to set is back as my default.
Any ideas on how to solve.
Thanks!

I want to use an external mic, on my DV6. But the on-board mic remains on. How can I switch it off?

On every other piece of kit I've ever used, plugging in an external mic (or headphones for that matter) automatically disables the on-board microphone (either side of the webcam on this notebook). I have managed to turn off the on-board mic but doing so disables the external mic input too. I'm running Windows 7.
Please help - it's driving me nuts!

Applet detect new particeipent but does not show any output.

hi,
I have written one applet which uses AVReceive2 as inner class.
This applet detects new particepent joined but does not take any action like showing or playing movie.
I cant understand where I am wrong.

Doublechecking, KAT ... is the Device Screen looking a bit like the following screenshot?
Which particular Windows OS are you using? (XP, Vista or 7?)
