New to GB, basic question here: from my board to Mac to burn CD...
I have a Roland VS1680 (yes 10 yrs old, but works great!). It has all the inputs, effects, mixing and everything I am familiar with...but its CD burning is slow and old. I would like to come out of my board and into my Mac as one final (stereo) track.. so that I can the burn the CD's from the mac.
How (and where) do I get the music (tracks) into the Mac? Some sort of USB interface is obvious, but what program in the Mac (garage band?) can do this?
It would be nice to bring all of it into garage band as one final stereo track, and then maybe master the entire song as a simple 2 track dealio in GB..... then burn to cd!
Uh, how the heck do I do that? What is the USB interface that I need?
Thanks folks!

Thanks! Awesome help. It looks like Apple sells some interface units that suffice. If I am only looking to take the mixed and final product from my Roland to GB is a basic $100 USB interface from the apple store going to be ok?
Do I need to have a powered pre-amp? NOt even sure what that is, but it sounds like I should ask.. I think my roland takes care of that...
Is that: preferences>Audio midi>Built in input the path for normal guitar or whatever item you would want to bring into GB? Or is this a special way for me bringing in the entire stereo tracked song?
You should be aware that taking the stereo mix from the Roland, and channeling it through a series of extra digital to analog to digital conversions to bring it into GB will degrade the sound, so you want to do as little of that as possible. If you're just messing around, it might not matter, but if you want to maintain the sound quality of the Roland, the extra conversions could dull the audio.
I believe the Roland has a digital out, so the very best way to bring the mix into GB is to transfer the audio digitally. If you can figure out a way to cable your roland's digital out to either your mac's digital line in (if it has one) or into a digital input of an interface, then you can get exactly what's in the roland into GB.

What should be considered a basic question here?
Hey folks I want some feedback on why type of questions we should consider basic in this forum? I have noticed in the last several weeks the questions here appear to be easily answered from wiki articles or the new book on the SAP Webclient programming.
Instead of me however throwing down the moderator axe, I want the community to decide the type of questions that should be locked or moved to a "basic questions" forum.
Given that the CRM Webclient is now a relatively mature product and the available materials to learn have increased, this should be fair request.
In order to ensure that you respond I'm going to give my thoughts on what should not be allowed
- Any topic covered in detail in the CRM wiki page here unless you need a clarification is subject for lock
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWebClientUIFramework
or
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CustomerRelationshipManagement
Especially questions on how to add a new field, EEWB, AET, or dropdown boxes
- Any topic asking for definition of terms is subject for a lock(i.e something that can be answered via help.sap.com)
- If has already been answered before, then I would propose the following:
1) Post the link in the thread
2) OP responds whether that solved the issue
3) Thread is locked from further discussion and awarding (to avoid rward hunting)
Based on your feedback my goal is to implement the "stricter moderation" post Teched Las Vegas or around October 1st, 2011. I would expect further changes to moderation style as SCN moves to a new platform and moderator tools are improved.
Take care,
Stephen
CRM Forum ModeratorStephen,
Basically queries like "How To xyz" which are already there on the WiKi should be moved to Basic Questions. These are the queries which are being raised by Consultants who are either new TO CRM or new to SDN or both.
1. How to enhance a Web UI COmponent
2. How to create a Drop Down
3. How to create a F4 Help
4. How to modify the Search Criteria.
5. How to add a Attribute from AET/EEWB
6. How to Create a Assignment block for a Z table.
7. How to default values in Drop Down
8. How to do dynamic navigation
9. How to create Navigation Links for Navigation between 2 Components
10.How to get business Partner ID from sy-uname
11. How to Value node.
12. How to create a BOL
13. How to create a Pop Up View
14. How to get values from Pop up view to the calling View.
I guess these are few basic queries which are being asked N number of times and has been answered twice as many a times.
Reading material and Tutorials are also sought by New CRM consultants which ideally should not be the case.

New to apple - basic questions about personalizing the dock
Hi -
Just got my MBP this week, and haven't used an apple before.
I am curious how I can add and remove icons to/from the dock in a "permanent" fashion so that the format stays constant after I restart the computer. Basically, I'm never (or rarely) going to use some of the standard programs on the dock, and would much rather have my high-use programs (word, for instance) readily accessable on the dock.
Thanks!Welcome to Apple!
To add or remove items from the dock is very simple. You can simply drag items that are currently onto your dock either to your desktop or to the trash to get rid of them. (This won't get rid of the program or application itself, so don't worry!) Then, to add items, you can click and drag them from your applications folder (or whatever other folder they are in) to the spot on your dock you want them. You can also rearrange items on your dock by clicking and dragging.
I hope this helps, and have fun personalizing! -
Basic questions from a new mozaic owner
I have some very basic questions about how to use the new mozaic 2G mp3 player. I bought the Mozaic because it has a speaker and sleep timer, but I'm finding it to be much harder to use than other mp3 players that I have had (Ipod shuffle, clix etc). This may reflect my failure to look in the right place but I have to say the "help" section isn't much help.
Here goes:
. I download podcasts to listen to during my morning run. WMP provides an easy to find place in its program, "recently added," which allows the user to just work with those files. As near as I can tell, Creative makes you wade through all of your tracks. Is there some way to create a file to which "recently added" tracks, or specific tracks, can be dumped? How about automatic tagging of these added files?
2. I have several thousand pictures on this hard dri've. Apparently, the Mozaic Centrale
Is going to copy all of them, which strikes me as a waste of space. Is there a way to shut this function off? I couldn't care less if a single photo was added to the centrale program (or whatever it's called). Is it really going to duplicate all of the jpg files?
3. I have the Zen Stone plus speaker which has served me very well. I had similar problems working with whatever Zen was calling its media player and wound up using WMP instead. I"d like to take a run at using the dedicated Zen media player....
I apologize for the basic nature of these questions, but the answers weren't obvious to me from the materials I was able to locate.

Problem with speaker. I read you need to do a firmware update to get the speaker option on your product's menu so i've completely updated it, but still no option to switch speaker on, and won't just come on when i unplug the headphones, any ideas?
what exactly is the model of your Mozaic? Is it EZ 00, EZ 300 or plane ZEN Mozaic? -

Basic questions from techie thicko with 'new' G4
I've looked but can't find the answers to these basic questions.
My new (reconditioned) computer as below came with just the operating systems and something called 'Cloner' plus some Utilities.
A) What is the best way to switch between OSX and Classic?
(It defaults to X on start-up and I can get to X from Classic by re-starting pressing 'x'. If that's the right way to do it, what is the approved way of getting into Classic?)
B) I'm not sure (after reading about it!) what I can do with Cloner and how.
C) I have AppleWorks on OS9. Can I update this for OSX? Failing this, is there a Software Download that will give me a basic DTP facility until I can afford to buy an advanced programme? I also have Pagemaker 7 in Classic.
D) I have been transferring stuff to Classic from my iMac DV 9.2.2 with my card reader and this seems to work well. Anything to watch out for?
There's more but I can't impose on members' kindness too much!
For future reference, is it possible to post pictures on these boards and if so how please? I have Photoshop and hosting sites.
Sorry to be a pain but I really am an idiot about techie stuff.
Thanks for any help.I'm not sure what Cloner does. It sounds as if it may clone the hard drive, a bit like Carbon Copy Cloner:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
I'm wondering whether it was just used to put the operating systems and utilites onto the drive in the first place when they reconditioned the computer. Perhaps they use a 'master' drive and just clone it to the drives in the computers they're reconditioning, rather than installing everything separately and repeatedly.
I think version 6 of AppleWorks runs under both OS 9 and OS X natively. If you have an earlier version, I'm not sure whether it's a free downloadable upgrade or whether you have to pay for it.
I'm sure the card reader works fine, although you could network the two computers together with an ethernet cable and create a small network. With two computers you just need a crossover cable to create a crossover network:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106658
If you're thinking of keeping your iMac, that may be a better long term solution. You could then use the iMac as your OS 9 machine and the PowerMac as your OS X machine if you wanted to. -
New to computer based recording - have a basic question
Hello all,
I have been recording on a stand alone multi-track machine for some time. I'm wanting to expand how many tracks I have and utilize the editing possibilities of Garageband 3. So, here's my basic question. I already have some songs recorded on the multi-tracker. The unit has the ability to export each track as a wav. file to the computer. I'm trying to find a fairly simple computer program that will allow me to import each track, remain in sync, and continue adding new tracks from the stand alone. For example, say I record 14 tracks on the stand alone and I still need another 10 tracks. I loathe bouncing because of the loss of control. Using Garageband 3, can I import the 14 tracks to a separate track each, record another 10 tracks on the stand alone, import those 10 tracks into the same project as the other 14 tracks, remain in sync, and then be able to edit, sweeten, etc all of the tracks? I have no real desire to record direct to the computer since I have a really nice set up already. I just want more tracks and the ability to edit them better than on the stand alone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
RandyHi,
Yes, you can, as long as all your Tracks have the same Start point.

Safari question here... Can I purchase a browser update for my mac book? I have OSX 10.6.8 and the "update software" function won't let me get past Safari 5.1.10. Please tell me I don't need a new computer just yet... Thx!!
You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
Some basic questions from a mac newbie
hi,
i have been using linux and windows all this while, and recently began using an apple too. have some simple questions here that i hope to get some answers for.
1. is there something similar to /etc/hosts in linux where i can add the IP address of a server? this is for me to use the 'ssh' command in the terminal
2. when i open up an application, say safari or chrome, i want the window to fill the entire screen automatically, instead of having to drag the bottom right of the window to fill the screen. how to configure that?
3. when i close an application by clicking on the 'x' at the top left, why is it that it still appears in the list when i press command+tab? to remove the application from the list, i have to right click on its icon on the dock, then click 'quit'. this is rather troublesome.
appreciate any help!1. is there something similar to /etc/hosts in linux where i can add the IP address of a server? this is for me to use the 'ssh' command in the terminal
The /etc/hosts file is there, but the /etc/ folder is hidden. You can use the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/) to access it via Unix, or could enter "open /etc" in the Terminal to open that folder in the Finder.
However, I'm not sure how this relates to ssh... I have not needed to modify that file, yet I can ssh all I need to. Are you trying to connect to your new Mac via ssh, or connect to other machines from the Mac via ssh?
2. when i open up an application, say safari or chrome, i want the window to fill the entire screen automatically, instead of having to drag the bottom right of the window to fill the screen. how to configure that?
Just drag the window out to full-screen and the browser should remember and open new windows at that size in the future. There are also some utilities (one called "Right Zoom" IIRC?) that will make the zoom button (green + button) behave more like the Windows zoom button.
3. when i close an application by clicking on the 'x' at the top left, why is it that it still appears in the list when i press command+tab?
Applications shouldn't quit just because you close their last window, unless the application's entire user interface is contained within that window. That is the case with ALL Windows apps, since there's no global menu bar, but only in some Mac apps. This is something that always ticked me off big-time with Windows... there have been times when I carelessly closed a window I didn't need anymore, but wanted to keep using the app, and then had to wait for it to load again. That won't happen on the Mac.
If this bothers you, just use the key combination command-Q to quit apps. -
Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive. It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive. My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine. But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
Thanks for any insights.
I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive. -
Moving from Entourage to Mail - basic questions
Once my shiny new iMac arrives, I intend to stop using Entourage (v.X) for email and switch to Mail.
I've never used Mail before, so I've got a few basic questions - I hope someone can help!
1. Is there a limit on how many emails / attachments Mail can hold? Entourage is infamous for unrecoverably crashing if you let its Database get bigger than 2Gb (4Gb with a patch).
2. How easy is it to archive Mail emails? And how easy is it to then access them for reference, if required?
3. Can I easily transfer my Entourage address book to Mail?
Hope someone can help!Robin,
Mail creates a separate account folder for each email account you have. It also has a another folder to hold mailboxes/folders that you use to organize and archive messages away from Inboxes, Sent, etc.
With each separate mailbox (Inbox, Sent or custom folder) there is no limit on number of messages, but with Mail 2.x (the one in Tiger) the size of each mailbox, including message attachments, must be kept below 2 GB. The only limit on the overall Mail folder, including On My Mac mailboxes, is the space on your hard drive, or boot partition, where your Home folder resides.
It is not convenient (nor necessary) to archive outside of the Mail folder where all mailboxes/folder reside, although backups can be made for disk failure, etc.
Open the Address Book application, and you will find under File, the command to Import. For what you can Import, check AB Help, searching on import and Entourage, and you will find Entourage listed as a source -- see also:

My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?
Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device. You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.

I am after some advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks
If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox.
There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices. -
I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (Games, Instagram), would my pics show up on Instagram and would my Games show it was saved and the acccomplisments will remain from the last place I left out.

Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...
