Only internal mic reords even when line in selected

Hi all
I hope some one cane help with this frustrating problem, I have purchased a 15" MacBook Pro with 2gig HDDR, I have recorded guitar successfully in the past, but recently updated GBand to 3.0.4 (104.7) now when I select an instrument channel, it only records from the internal Mic even when I select, Line In from the System Prefrences, the input registers on the input level meter in the system prefrences pane, but not in the Garageband mixer display, and when I press record GBand only records from interlnal Mic. I have selected all inputs on track info, and have moved slider as far as I can, but still no sound is registered on track, I did notice when I came back to do some more work on one project a panel popped up to say that song had not been saved in iLife? it asked if I wanted to do so so I pressed ok, hope this did not cause problem?
MacBook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

You have to select line-in in GarageBand's
preferences. (That's a difference between Intel Macs
and Power PC Macs.)
Hi Christoph,
I've had the Apple set up for a few weeks, I'm trying ti figure things out for myself. I'm a bit stumped...
I've got this same prob (amongst a few others...) I've got the iMac, and can't turn the internal mic off either. I'm a wee bit lost mate, have you any ideas?
Thanks for your time...

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Sara

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

Internal mic poor quality when recording in iMovie

I noticed exceptionally poor quality of internal mic when recording acoustic guitar piece on iMovie, with the built in iSight camera. Technically, the sound is called "Phasing" - it sounds like a slow 'whoosh' over all of the audio.
After investigation, I have found the cause to be the Ambient Noise Reduction algorithm added by Apple.
To remove this - go to:
System Preferences
Sound
Input
*uncheck* 'use ambient noise reduction'
Problem solved....
Now my question - does anyone know how to use the iSight (built in) and simultaneously and synchronously record audio using an External Mic - eg the Blue "Snowball" - which is a USB mic.
In theory, the mic should plug in and then show up as an external device, but when I select iSight camera as my video source - the Powerbook automatically assumes that I want to use the internal mic as my audio source.
Have tried to go to Sys Prefs and change 'Input' to USB - but no option to do so
All help appreciated
SK

Hi thanks for the response
unfortunately, it's got nothing to do with MIDI (which is just a series of controller information)
The Blue 'Snowball' External mic is essentially a 'USB Device' and should be recognised as such by the Mac. The data will come in as 16bit, 44.1khz AES bit stream and then be assigned a destination.
The problem is that iMovie does NOT allow me to separate the iSight camera from recording with 'internal mic'
I want a way of finding how to seperate them - and then assign the USB mic to be associated with the iSight camera - giving me iMovie/iSight videos - with PROFESSIONAL sound
sorry if i didn't make this clear
thanks again

Internal Mic is mute when headphone plugged in

Hi,
My laptop is Toshiba R30 with Windows 7 SP1.
The internal mic of the laptop will be mute automatically when ever I plug in my headphone, which doesn't have a mic in it. Is there any way that I can use the internal mic of the laptop while using my headphone?
Thanks!

Hello ricky_waldron,
Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
Here is a link to the updates.
Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

"Sync" is not working correctly. selected playlists even when the "Sync selected playlists" was selected and playlists were checked in the music iTunes library. Do I have a defective iPod touch?

Ever since I bought my ipod touch 4th generation, IOS 4G, 8GB in January 2011, it would not sync selected playlists.
This is even when I have checked 3 things:
1. Under Summary/Options, I've checked "Manually manage music and videos" and "sync only checked songs and video."
2. When I go to the Music tab and attempt to sync, I have already chosen "selected playlists, artists, albums and genres"
3. When I click on "Sync" a window comes up and says "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."
Do I have a defective ipod?
5Red5

   Sync should be an automatic feature that can be triggered manually. Although, I have a two Shuffles, which are obviously not Touches, so they might be different.
   If you have your iPod set to manually manage music, the option to sync only checked songs should not do anything. You have to drag songs manually to the iPod on the sidebar to add music (I've created playlists of only songs I want, then I shift-click the whole thing and drag all of the songs at once to update them, that way I don't have to remember what goes where), and you have to manually select and delete songs from the iPod's 'Music' library on the sidebar to remove them.
   As for syncing the files, on my shuffles, they sync individual songs (for Get Info information changes ONLY) automatically every time I plug them into iTunes, and again if I make any changes to the Get Info stuff while they're plugged in. For example, if I added a song to my iPod playlist, it wouldn't sync it, but if I changed the genre of a song that's already on it, it will automatically sync.
   Good luck.

Internal mic heard also when another input source is selected

Hi all,
I am having a problem hearing my internal microphone even though I selected another sound input. As in System Preferences - Sound - selecting iMic USB audio system as my microphone is using this interface.
For some reason my recordings record both my mic and internal microphone!?
I notice in the Sound - Input tab another Sound input showing: "Unknown USB Audio Device"? This showed when I used GB for recording something from my stereo headphone out jack to my iMac's Audio line in port which recorded successfully. This was the first time I noticed the above problem which may have something to do with it?
Any ideas would be much appreciated...

Thx HangTime, the link told me to change Input in GB Preferences to my iMic interface and problem solved! The "Unknown USB Audio Device" was something else... I connected the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 for this to appear.
Thanks Again, Steve

My pic 3 has suddenly started draining the battery in only a few hours even when I am not using it. Might this mean something is running all the time? I recently downloaded Dropbox. How do I check? What do I do about it? Or is battery faulty? Tim

My ipad 3 has suddenly started draining battery in only a few hours. Even if not in use. Might this be because a programme is running in he background? I recently downloaded Dropbox. Might my photos still be downloading after a few days? How do I check? What do I do about it? Or might my battery be faulty? Thanks, Tim.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

On Google, Ffox 3.6.12 only shows 10 results even when I specify 100; Mac G4 10.4.11; other browsers show 100 no problem.

On my Mac dual 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 with OS X 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12, when I open Google and specify 100 results like this...
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&num=100
...it always just shows 10 results. Whereas Opera and Safari (I don't use Internet Extorter) show 100 results no problem using that same URL.
Problem has being occurring at least since Firefox 3.6.9 if I recall correctly. Not sure if it was happening before that.

Google recently made some changes to the Google search site with the addition of Instant search and that made the setting of the number of results in the Google settings to stop working.
If Instant search is enabled on the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] page (link at the top right) then you only get 10 results.<br />
You have to disable instant search and reload the result page and then set the number of results to your preferred choice.<br />
It may not work if you make both changes at the same time.
There is a link directly to the right of the Google search field on the Google results page.<br />
That is a button with a drop down list: Instant is On/Off.<br />
There is also a radio check box on the Google Settings page, that has replaced the previously used Suggestions.

How to enter MR results only on one register even when other reg r MR relev

Hi All,
I have Device with 4 registers (1- Cummulative and rest are Balancing) . In the happy flow, i get the MR results from MDMR system and will be uploaded against the respective registers. So no problem.
But when i have exchange or removals, user will have only the register read for R1 to enter but not TOU values for 2/3 and 4 registers. Since 2,3 and 4 are also MR relevant, system will not allow to save without entering.
How to overcome this ?
Regards
Haricharan

HI,
You should load ZERO value consumption on R2, R3 and R4. Let the system load it.
At the end of your flow, update the MR status (EABL-ABLSTAT) for R2, R3, R4 to ZERO. Why this action your MR documents will be reset to MR Order status, with the exception on R1, which you which to keep.
Br,
André

My laser Jet 1320 will only print one copy, even when asked to print mutiples. Any thoughts?

I have a Laser Jet 1320. I have windows Vista (I know!!!) It will only print one document despite being instructed to print 2 or more. I have tried re-installing the drivers but to no avail. Does anyone have any solution possibilities. Thanks

Then use the latest solution!
Which doesn't need specifying either.

My Photosmart 7510 printer only prints in black even when grey scale is turned off.

Hello
I am having issues with printing in color. I have a 7510 Photosmart Printer. It has full ink cartridges, I made sure grey scale is turned off, I uninstalled and reinstalled it but it still prints in black. It looks like it is using shades on the of black like its trying to darken the colors that would be there if it printed them. It just recently started doing this. What do I do?
Thank you
EDIT: I am using Windows 7

Hello @Oldsheep , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing print issues. I would like to help!
Does this issue occur when making a copy as well?
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One (C311) Printer Series.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Why do mouse batteries only last 15 days, even when mouse is shut off whenever computer is off ?

I measured mouse battery lifetime using 2 sets of rechargeable batteries, as shown on the graph. The charge plummets after it reaches 50%. I believe that Apple should provide a free replacement wired mouse.

Yes, the Magic Mouse is a bit of a gas guzzler. I switched to using rechargeables rather than disposables - seemed like a good solution to me. Certainly wouldn't want to go back to a wired mouse.

New Battery only shows 97% full even when plugged in

Any ideas as to why? My original battery would always show it was 100% once it hit full charge plugged in.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron

You probably need to calibrate it a few times to teach it where 100% is.
