My new macbook air does not recognize my line in for recording. Please advise

I plug into a soundboard from a church and record with a line in on my macbook - or at least I did. My old one recognized the line in under sounds but this new one doesn't seem to acknowledge??? Help

Hi Brad Mason,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I am glad that your MacBook Air can connect to the internet using your Time Capsule but I can understand the frustration of not being able to print or back up using Time Machine either. For setting up your printer, I would suggest working through the first attached article.
Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support
For making sure that your computer is set up and backing up to Time Machine correctly, I suggest reading over and working through the next attached article.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
If after verifying that your computer is set up with your printer and Time Capsule correctly you are still having issues, please let me know what errors you receive or what happens when you attempt to print or back up your computer.
Cheers,
Joe

What do I do if my new macbook air does not accept my password even if I've tried more than a few times?

Hi there,
Just bougiht a new macbook air and the start up screen is not accepting my password even though I have typed it in a few times and correctly. I have already used this mac previously for 2 days and have added microsoft office today but this is the first time I have logged in since the installation.
I don't understand why the password isn't being accepted. Could it be the installation? Or do I need to reset my macbook air?
Just a note, I'm not proficient using a Mac.This is my first macbook.
Many thanks for the help.
Tony

You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

New MacBook Air does not read Pages properly

I migrated my old MacBook Air (2 years old) to my new MacBook Air (one month old) transferring Pages application and many documents in Pages, which I use to edit a magazine.
At first my new MBA refused to open any Pages documents, so I re-installed iWork from CD (using Remote Disc from my iMac). Now my new MBA does open Pages documents, but with disrespect for fonts:
- what was in bold appears in regular font
- what was in italics appears either in regular font or bold+italics
This is a complete disaster as it means I cannot work in the magazine when I travel with my MBA. Plus, I have already given away my old MBA to a friend!
Can anybody help?
Thank you !
Isabel

Did you moved the folder
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:
from the old machine to the new one ?
This folder contain a lot of required items.
Without them, iWork's applications can't work.
Don't forget that the license clearly state that *_you must remove the app from the old machine_*

HT4628 My new macbook air does not get as good wifi reception as my old 2008 macbook. Is anyone else having this problem?

I just bought a 2012 Macbook Air with 2.0 processor, 8GB Ram 256GB harddrive, and it is SLOWER than my old 2008 macbook online. Anyone else have this problem?

This is the itunes forum.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.

New MacBook Pro does not recognize time capsule

Just picked up a new 13 inch MabBook Pro. I would like to get my files from my backup which is on a time capsule (my old mac is completely dead). the airport utility would not recognize it at all. it is also my router, so i know the device is working. thanks.

Try with migration assistant.
See http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
On Mavericks manually mount the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to Server.. and type
AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress.. where you change that for the actual name or IP.

My new macbook pro does not recognize all sd cards

My MacBook recognizes some sd and sdhc cards, others it doesnt. When I first got it a few weeks ago, it recognized them all, but i had to try a few times with some cards. Now these cards don't work at all anymore. On windows laptops they still work. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks

HT3625 My Macbook Air does not have this "Use audio for:" option, as it has been excluded from Airs for whatever reason. How do I change my audio output to input without this?

If I have to buy an audio-usb converter let me know.
Although if this is an option exclusive to Pros and I do, then this is a little ridiculous Mr. Ghost of Steve Jobs.
Especially considering how Airs don't have their own section here on the forums
Thank you for whoever responds! All the idiot "how to" links on Google have me a little frustrated

Nevermind, posted this in Air section
It didn't give me that option initially.

From what I've read the new Macbook Pros do not recognize a line-in through the headphone jack. I want to record my guitar on GarageBand without using the built in mic. Any advice?

I have all the adapters and stuff like that, I have recorded a lot of things on audacity on my p.c. For $2500 you would think they would have at least kept the input through the headphone jack feature in this mac. I am using an acoustic and an eletric guitar and I don't want to spend more than about $20 to resolve this.

I had a fast tracks usb and it worked great and at $99 it is well worth it. But if you plan on recording vocal and guitar you will need a XLR plug on your mic because it only has two inputs 1/4 and XLR.
Also you don't need a multichannel interface to record multiple tracks, only multiple tracks at the same time.
If your doing all the instruments yourself the fast track or fast track pro may be a good idea for now and then when you need it upgrade to a more expensive firewire interface.
And make sure whatever you get will work with your intel mac.
I just read some of the negative comments about the fast track usb. I don't think some of these people know what there doing. Comments like it only records on the left channel shows user error.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not. It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue. I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that. I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software. On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

MacBook Air does not See a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset

My MacBook Air does not "see" my Plantronics Voyager Pro + bluetooth headset as a discoverable bluetooth asset. I have read on Apple and Plantronics forums that these two devices should be compatible, but so far no luck. Anybody have any experience with this situation?

Turns out the Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset failed...exchanging it for a new one and should be GTG. Thanks.

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes.

HELP! My MacBook Air does not switch on at all

My MacBook Air does not switch on at all. I press the "switch on" button but nothing happens. The battery is fully charged and the laptop is absolutely new (2 month of rare use). Have no idea what's wrong with it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aliyusha,
welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear about your computer issues.
Do you get a chime? dose the sleep led turn on or blink? What about the led on the power adapter, that LED on or off?
