Real Guitar-Line In-no sound-HELP!!

On GB 2 we were able to plug in the elec guitar into Line In, with audio cable coming from Headphone socket of powerbook going into Sony amp. But we were able to hear the guitar on the computer speakers and the amp with Monitor set to On. Now we have got GB3 and we don't seem to be able to do this.
Am I missing a trick here or have Apple removed this facility in the cause of Progress?
If so we need to revert to GB2. I have checked sound preferences which are now different in GB3 "Mic In/Out versus Audio In/Out)
Anyone help as this is driving us crazy!!
Cheers

I had some similar trouble with GB last night, but I did find a way around it. Awkward, but it will get you started. I have reported this bug to Apple.
If you do ANYTHING to the audio output settings in the preference panel, you lose your input from the line in. So what you need to to is set your prefs the way you want them, quit GB 3 and restart it. You should have your sound coming through loud and clear.
If you have no access to the prefs at all (another known problem caused by some kind of interplay between GB3 and other apps that use audio, e.g. iChat) then you have to restart the whole machine.
This is quite clearly a bug. The preferences in GB seem a bit messed up right now and a lot of people are having problems with them. I hope that Apple fix this pronto.
Nige.

Is it possible to play my guitar and have the sound changed to different instrument like a sax? Like an emulator.

Is it possible to play my guitar and have the sound changed to different instrument like a sax? Have my Mac act as an emulator. I'm a guitar player, not a sax player, but I want a sax solo in my song.

You'd need a midi guitar for that. GarageBand does not create midi from audio. Use a different application, like Finale to create a midi file from your Guitar audio file.
Or play the sax track using a midi keyboard or simply GarageBand's musical typing. You can use the track editor to add expression and articulation afterwards.

I have a PowerBook G4 17" and need Apple discs to set it up again. Mine lost during move. Screen seems damaged, has vertical lines. Can anyone help. I can call as I have unlimited calling on my iPhone 6 anywhere in North America.

king,
If your Powerbook's serial number (do not post it here) starts with "W8" then the vertical lines are mostly likely due to a defect in the display itself. W8 is a factory code and, during the iMac G5 and PowerBook G4 timespan, that factory shipped thousands of units with the same defect. It cannot be fixed via software.
As all PowerBooks are now classed as "obsolete," an Apple Store will not work on it. They will look at it ands tell you it has vertical lines and that they cannot fix it. This Apple article shows Apple devices they curently considered obsolete:
Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support
It is possible that some Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASP) will still work on older computes but they cannot get neededparts from Apple. As this issue was so pervassive, it wil be hard for you or an AASP to find a used/pulled display that is not effected with the "W8 Curse."
Although I love the old PowerBooks, I would not even spent the money for disks, much less the US$150-400 it would cost to replace the display, even should one be available.
If you give us a rough idea of where you are in the world, we can suggest repair shops specializing in fixing older Mac notebooks, but be aware those resources may be rather scare outside North America.

Counting lines problem. Please help!!

Hi all,
I just have a small problem i cannot resolve, here it is: I read through a file and i like to count the lines of the file there is before a special word.
E.g
My file contains:
"hi
how are you
my name is john
and i live
britain"
I'd like to count how much lines there are in the file before the word LIVE ==> result would be 4.
I proceed with StreamTokenizer, but i don't knor how to specify the word. Here is my code:
     try {FileReader fr = new FileReader("test2.dat");
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
               StreamTokenizer stk = new StreamTokenizer(br);
               do {
               n = stk.nextToken();
               li = stk.lineno();
               if (n == stk.TT_NUMBER) {
                    n = stk.nextToken();
               if (n == stk.TT_EOL) {
                    li++;
                    n = stk.nextToken();
               if (n == stk.TT_WORD) {
                    String str = stk.sval;
                    if ("entier".equals(str)) {
                         System.out.println(li);
                    else {
                         n = stk.nextToken();
               while (??????????????);
I want here to specify the word "entier" but how to do this??
Thanks very much for your precious help....

A: Counting lines problem. Please help!!

Use LineNumberReader, which counts lines for you. Here's a complete program in 16 lines:
import java.io.*;
public class test4 {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
    if (argv.length < 2) { System.err.println("no arg"); System.exit(0); }
    try {
      LineNumberReader in = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(argv[1]));
      String line;
      while((line = in.readLine()) != null)
        if (line.indexOf(argv[0]) != -1)
          System.out.println("Found match at line " + in.getLineNumber());
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}If you want case insensitivity, you can make both lines lower-case before searching. Or you can use regular expressions.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Do you have sound coming from the audio output port using headphones? If so, when the plug is pulled out, is there a red light?
You may need a PRAM reset:

PLEASE HELP! Guitar line in on Audigy 2 ZS not working

i have a sound blaster audigy 2 ZS platinum pro. In every program i try to use (FL 4, reason, krystal, ...) i can not even hear my guitar when plugged in to the sound card. I have tried the obvious, making sure i'm not in digital only mode, checking the cables. Some one please help.

Does Line-In work w/ normal line sources?
You propably need a pre-amp for guitar input through Line-In port but, if the port you're using is a Hi-Z port (you find this information from Audigy User's Guide) then, it should work even w/o additional pre-amp.

A FIX for error message: When I try to open Snood (it's a game) I get this message. Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101 Can you help?

After years of playing Snood, w/o problems, I started getting this error message, on my iMac, OS 10.5.8,
with 4 GB of memory when opening Snood: Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101
My MacBook Pro w. Mac OS 10.6.8 did not have this problem.
Initially I thought that Snood raised its minimum requirement to Mac OS 10.6.
I had several correspondences with Snood. Their tech support is great. Quick and thorough responses.
They thought the issue was in Mac's system preferences/ Sound. It was.
I didn't realize that my sound input and output devices were gone.
The fix was resetting the PRAM. I found this advice on MacFixIt.com.
MacFixIt help with volume: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10415659-263.html
Resetting the PRAM is on Apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
My sound (music!) is back, along with Snood. So glad I reset the PRAM before reinstalling the OS software!
Thank you to Snood, MacFixIt and Apple.
Happy new year all!

Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

Guitar Line-in Help!

So I'm trying to record my guitar with GarageBand 3.0.4. I bought the guitar cable that goes from 1/4" to 1/8". My guitar is plugged into my input jack right next to my headphone jack. I went to system pref --> Sound and selected Line-in from the list. I strum my guitar and see it register (it registers more with the Line-in than with the built in mic, so I know it's getting the input from my guitar). BUT GarageBand STILL uses my built-in mic to record instead of my Line-in guitar. Any suggestions? Is there a setting in GarageBand I don't know about?

Help with Line In for Sound Blas

I have my Sound Blaster hooked up as usual to copy my cassettes to MP3s. I cannot get a Line In, and it is driving me crazy. I have unhooked everything and hooked it back up. I have the Line In hooked up to a cassette player. the Line Out hooked up to my speakers and the USB connected to my computer. All the lights are on and it is set to digital/analog. Any ideas? It has always worked in the past. I have Version .0. Thanks.

Hi,
Many thanks for your quick reply.
I tried the options in the links, however when I changed GB preferences to 'line-in,' it didn't pick up any sound from the plugged in mic at all. I tried recording and it didn't record anything. I adjusted the volume and the same thing happened.
I've checked and re-checked that the system preferences are set to 'line-in' and although it picks up the mic in that, it doesn't in GB.
Help appreciated!

Can't hear my guitar, just horrible 'feedback' sound.

Hey all,
I tried connecting my electric guitar to apple to record a few things the other night, no amp, preamp, just straight lead from guitar (which apparantly should be fine as the program can act as an amp simulator).
Set the sound to audio line in, selected real instrument, switched monitor to on, chose the amp simulation etc.
The system (in the sound menu in system preferences) recognises when I strum the guitar, but in garage band all I get is a nasty feedback screech and no guitar sound at all.
Is there anything I'm missing, or doing wrong? Any help would be great.
Thanx.

First of all: With an Intel Mac, you have to select the line-in in GarageBand's prefs, not in the System's. What you hear is the input of the internal mic run through a distorting amp sim.
Second: The fact that GB offers amp simulation doesn't mean that you can simply plug in your guitar. Probably your level will be too low, and you won't get good results. You have to pre-amp your guitar somehow to bring it up to line level, with a mixer or an audio interface.
To check on the sound, you also shouldn't start with a crunchy amp simulation, but with a no-effects setting - once you get a signal, you can apply the effects. You might be able to boost up a poor signal by cranking up the gain or output volume in an amp simulation, but only some kind of pre-amping will give you good results.
