Samson c01U was clear on G4 PPC but has excessive digital hiss on Imac

I posted this in the imac forum but maybe it belongs here - I do some recording in garageband and see the problem there
I love this microphone, and used to use it on a G4 PPC where it worked absolutely fine. The only noise it picked up was from the noisy computer. Now I have a quiet Imac and the Mic pics up a lot of digital noise. It isn't amplifying anything in the room. For instance if I turn the input level all the way down in Apple MIDI Setup all the way down it still comes through. Any ideas how to remedy this? Is this a power to USB port issue?
Making an aggregate device did not clear it up.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I am experiencing similar problems with my C03U. Last year I recorded on a powerbook and this year on a MacBook. Last Year it recorded perfectly. Very low background noise. This year I cannot get rid of the hiss and electrical noise. It is not background noise at all. There is none. I put it into a soundproof chamber and it is still making noise. The Samson site is useless for support. I have tried everything I know, different USB cables, Low gain, changing location, different settings in Sound Studio, and still no improvement.
Last year I used the Samson Pre but it doesn't work on 10.5 because they say 10.5 is plug and play. Yeah well!

Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device. Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit. I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

My printer (HP8500) is wi-fi connected to my imac and my macbook. works fine from macbook, but has stopped working on the imac--shows offline. How can I fix this? Thanks

I have an iMac and MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard at current maintenance levels. I have an HP8500 printer connected via wi-fi. All have been working well until just recently. Now, the iMac cannot communicate with the printer. The printer icon shows offline. The printer is still online to the MacBook. I suspect a related problem is that when I try to access files on the MacBook from the iMac, I get a message that they are unavailable, but re-clicking once or twice to re-try works and the files are accessible. The only problem is that I cannot modify them from the iMac, even though the sharing options are set for update capability.
Resetting the printer and re-booting the iMac don't help.

Yosemite is a big problem.
I recommend you factory reset the TC and start over.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Redo the setup from Yosemite.. it needs to be directly involved in the setup to remember anything.
Please use short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgen5 base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
Set password WPA2 Personal security which is pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
Please empty out all the old wireless names from your devices.. reboot them and rediscover the network.
If it still fails tell us.

Just in case (even though your symptoms aren't explicitly mentioned in the document), let's check to see if there's a LSP problem in play here:

Samson C01U usb mic/low input level

I recently bought a Samson C01U usb condenser mic to use with Garageband to record voice and piano for my music studio. When I plug it in, it is recognized in system preferences/Sound. But when I try to record in Garageband, the input level monitor barely responds. I've selected Mono 1, as advised by tech support at Samson. I can't figure out why this mic isn't working, since it's recommended for this exact purpose. I don't think I should need a pre amp, but now am wondering if I do. I'd be so grateful for any advice.

You know, the Samson C01U worked ok with the SoftPre software from Samsontech under Tiger. The input levels could be bumped up sufficiently for the **** thing to actually work even if the input signal was still on the low side.
Since SoftPre doesn't work with Leopard, the C01U is basically an expensive paperweight.
Since Samsontech seem incapable of getting their act together in putting out an operational Leopard compatible SoftPre software release, my advice to the wider Mac community is to BOYCOTT THEM! If Samsontech aren't receptive to consumer needs and flexible enough to act accordingly when the OS is updated, they deserve to suffer the commercial consequences - period!
I'm looking forward to the liberating ritual of taking a giant sledgehammer and obliterating my now useless, overpriced Samson C01U. It's going to be awesome !

Samson C01U not working in LE8

I can't get my Samson C01U USB microphone to work with LE8.
Many others also have the same problem, while Apple stores sell both LE8 and the Samson C01U microphone.
Is there someone out there that has the solution to make the microphone work with Logic Express 8 or do I have to go back to the store and ask my money back for LE8 (as GarageBand works perfectly with the Samson C01U and LE8 claims to be a step higher up the ladder
It didn't work in Tiger and it also doesn't work in Leopard either, please help.
Cheers, Ron de Jong

I know you said that you've done this, but this is available.

Straight from the horses mouth.
I'd say remove everything that you have made as an agg/device and try staring using the steps in the samsontech article.
If the mic isn't directly connected to the macs usb ports you might have issues. Try no hub if you're on one.
I'm on OS 10.4.11 though. Don't know if that makes any difference, but I did have the same problem you did with that mic. You'll dig it once you have it hooked up.

3.6.26 is working on my OSX 10.4.11 PPC, but it keeps asking me to download the most current version for my system... why?

I've dowloaded and updated 3.6.26, which Firefox stated was the most current version, but when I restart the browser, it then states I'm NOT running the most current version for my system... why?
I'm running a Mac PPC G4 10.4.11 Thanks for any assistance you can provide :)

Thanks for the Reply Alice... :) The message is when I restart Firefox, which activates the update, and the 'thanks' page on Firefox's site (not Google)... So, I'm curious why it gives me my most current update, then tells me that there might be a more current version for my system... very strange! Anyway, I'm definitely sticking with 3.6.26, unless I get info that suggests there's a .27 or .28 flying around that may be useful... I will definitely NOT go to 9 or 10.... :)

My daughter downloaded zombie farm and tried to purchase 100 brains - I was billed for the purchase but she never recieved the brains - three days later I was billed for a purchase of 100 brains again even thought no one made the purchase - how do I get a refund?

If you did not receive the "merchandise" then a refund is due. Just click through the support link provided above, fill out the form at the end, clearly state the facts and state them again via reply email.
Also prepare to send copies of the billings and provide the user name associated with Zombie Farm and Game Center (if applicable).
All should work out, but if satisfaction is not received, file a claim with your credit card issuer.

4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

Let me try again, Chenks. I'm a technical person by profession, and so can get deeper into things like this, but I have not attempted to use these methods of communication in the past. I'm trying to get some feedback to Apple on their worsening a product and really messing with existing customer configurations. I'll try to break things up below.
1. Configuration:
Existing Apple TV and Mac Mini configuration in place since December 2010.
Three Apple TVs, one in Family Room for music and movies, one in Master Bedroom for music and movies, the third one in the Living Room for music only.
I'm using iTunes as library. (Probably an obvious statement, but wanted to mention that.)
2. Pre 4.2.1
No problems at any location since configuration finalized and all equipment installed in December.
Since December, Family Room entertainment equipment was updraded to a new Sony Bravia 3D, and a new Pioneer receiver. The Master Bedroom still has the original Toshiba 32HLC56 TV. That unit has only one HDMI input. I'm using the built-in speakers. This TV/Monitor is about fives years old.
3. Problem
I updated the software in two of the Apple TVs to 4.2.1. I updated the Family Room device and the Master Bedroom device. I had not updated the Living Room device.
After updating to 4.2.1, the Family Room equipment works fine. That's the location with the newer TV and receiver.
The Master Bedroom has different problems with different movies: e.g. "The Little Mermaid:" video, no audio. "The Lion King:" movie wont start at all.
Additionally, in the Master Bedroom some movies work fine, other movies start but immediately go into pause mode. Pressing pause button on Apple remote will not initiate start of movie, screen does "flicker" for a moment but movie does not start to play, showing only the last frame that had been streamed.
4. Not really a problem for me.
Fortunately for me, I had not updated the Apple TV in the living room so I used it to troubleshoot the problem. Initially I thought it was a defective Apple TV in the Master Bedroom. I took the unit to the Apple Store in town and they exchanged it for me. I brought the replacement Apple TV home but I did not install it immediately.
While testing the Master Bedroom set up once again to make it was working for our afternoon movie watching, I was again reminded that a software update was available. That message came up because it was the unit I had brought over from the Living Room. I proceeded to update the Apple TV to the new software version (4.2.1).
As soon as I "updated" the software in the Apple TV to the new 4.2.1, the same problems manifested themselves. At that point I suspected that the problem was with 4.2.1, and not with the hardware.
I called Apple Support and went through a series of troubleshooting techniques. We tested the Apple TV with the new 4.2.1 installed in it. This is the unit which originially in the Living Room. Under the direction of the Apple TV support technician, I used the Family Room gear and the Master Bedroom gear to try and isolate the problem to hardware or software.
We eliminated the following as potential problems:
a. TV speakers in the Master Bedroom
b. HDMI cable
c. Ethernet connection
5: Conclusion:
Fortunately for me, again, the Apple TV that the Apple Store had given me that morning still had 4.1.1. So I installed that unit in the Master Bedroom and everything started working normal again.
6. Side note:
An interesting observation: In early March I copied several movies from the Mac Mini to my iPad and some to my wife's iPad. All movies worked fine on our flight out and while we were away.
My wife recently (about a week ago) updated the software in her iPad. and now some of the movies that played just fine on her iPad are exhibiting the same problems as the Master Bedroom TV when it is connected to an Apple TV with software 4.2.1.
Apple has been trying to fix some problems in 4.2 when it released 4.2.1. I make that observation based on recent articles I found on the web. Most likely the Apple engineers were trying to fix things in one place and broke them in another.
Clear as mud, isn't it?
7. In closing:
I'm good to go, I just need to remember not to update the software in the Master Bedroom Apple TV. I want to keep that unit at 4.1.1. It's possible that Apple might come to the realization that they hosed things for some of us. Because I do have three units in my home, I can experiement with the other two units should a "fix" come out. I can then update one of the two devices, connect it to the Master Bedroom TV, and see if the problem was corrected. If not, I stay with 4.1.1. But I'm not convinced that Apple will see this as their problem, it's always easier to point elsewhere.

Lost i photo whilst I was clearing unwanted files

lost i photo whilst I was clearing unwanted files

Or, put another way, you deleted iPhoto by mistake?
Reinstall it.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Samson C01U advice

afternoon all.
i recently bought a samson c01u usb condensor mic for gettin vocals down on my recordings. 1st of all, im very happy with the quality of the recordings.
however, im finding some words are being picked up less, and as a result get lost when added as a layer to a mix. and vice versa, sometimes some words are louder and stand out too much in the mix.
i think this is to do with mic positioning, and the mic being a hyper cardioid pickup pattern, i probably move around too much when recording.
however, with the recordinigs all ready done, is there anything i can use in audition to balance out the levels? so amplify the quieter, and reduce the louder waves?
please note, this is only very subtle stuff, but i like stuff to be as perfect as poss and dont really wanna go through each individual track and boost the volumes individually, so if theres another way please let me know.
im on audition 3.0, also have 1.5
thanks guys
andy

cheers bob, just by tryin the smooth vocal preset it actually worked wonders, and i did a little EQ'ing myself to give the vocals a little more top end, and they're comin through much nicer know.thanks.andy

Have a play with compression effect under the Amplitude and Compression/Dynamics Processing menu.
You'll have to play with the adjustments to get exactly what you want but, if the need is as slight as you describe, perhaps start with the "Smooth Vocal" preset then adjust from there. The graphic display will probably give you a hint about what's going on, but, to use it properly, it's probably worth doing some Googling and some background reading on what compression (and the available adjustments do.
However, at the most basic, you will be applying some limiting to all sounds above a certain level, meaning that when you apply some "make up gain" the ratio between the quiet and louder bits gets smaller.
Too much and you may hear artefacts but to increase the intelligibility, it's just the ticket.

Samson C01U USB mic/audio recording software.

whats small,free, and reliable audio recording software? on Mac OS X.10.4.5
On XP I like adobe audition,and cool edit pro2
Im having hard time getting Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser Mic to record on my emac ,on audacity
http://www.samsontech.com/

Cubase LE is good, but Garageband, part of the iLife 06 suite is nice. I recorded a vocal trio to backing tracks and mixed it down to CD using only the effects provided in the program.
Like any software recording system, the more effects you add the more processing power you're using up, but garageband works real well.
I used the Presonus Firepod as an interface, worked fine. Any interface box will work.
If you're only doing a single audio input for a podcast, then Quicktime pro is good. It's not free, but for 30+ bucks it's worth the investment.
I've used a piece of Shareware.... D-SoundPro
you can google search it. Nice stand alone piece of software, does some amazing things with audio for a shareware product.
Hope this helps.
Jim
