ShureSM58 not working on MacBook Pro Retina

Hello,
Basically, I have bought the Shure SM58 microphone to record audio voice on my MacBook Pro Retina, but it doesn't seem to work.. The specifications and the seller clearly told me that the audio jack included output and input, is there anything I am doing wrong or I should know of? Please help!

The SM58 uses a 3 pin xlr connector, how are you connecting to a Mac?
Where do you connect this? with some adaptor I assume (as there is no balanced microphone socket on any Mac)

  • Old MagSafe Airline Adapter not working with MacBook Pro Retina

    I've got an old MagSafe Airline Adapter (one I bought when it first came out) that I'm trying to use with my MacBook Pro Retina (using a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter). Sometimes the light is green, sometimes it is off, sometimes the battery icon in the menu bar shows plugged in, sometimes not, but in any combination, the machine is not maintaining charge; the battery discharges at a normal rate for just being on battery. For giggles, I borrowed my seatmate's year-or-two-old MagSafe adapter (the one with the right-angle plug) and plugged it into my machine (also using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter). The light on that one turns orange, and though the battery icon shows "Not Charging", the battery is maintaining charge with the newer adapter. (My adapter, BTW, is able to maintain the charge on her 13" MacBook Pro.)
    Was there a change to recent versions of this adapter to make the new ones work with the Retina MacBooks where the old one will not?

    the green light on the mag safe turns on?
    you should reduce your usage to a very minimal amount as I'm sure the airline doesn't output a strong enough signal for you to be running full screen films with high res. Maybe you should close your macbook P and see if it is charged after a little while of not using it.
    turn your screen lights down, turn the sound gHZ down, quit all the downloadin'.
    if you must run flash make sure you have the latest version (from the adobe site).
    You're computer is intense and if you use it more then it's gaining, of course it going to be draining .
    But this is probably moot since you're probably on said plane now. or was.
    I'd imagine if you're not satisfied with the product you should return it detailing your situation.

  • Facetime not working in macbook pro retina 13"

    I have black screen, the camera is off.  I click preferences and nothing shows up.

    Looks like the camera never works.  Tried photo booth, skype.  My other MBP will have the camera green light on and I can see myself before making calls.  So disapointed, I spent the most money with full options and the camera is not working.  QA is going down.  This is my 13th Apple devices.

  • Bluetooth headphones don't work with Macbook pro Retina, but they do with iMac.  Why???

    I AM NOT AN EXPERT.  I AM MAKING ASSUMPTIONS.  My issue, tech spec's and assumptions are listed below.
    MY ISSUE:
    My Rocketfish headphones work perfectly with my iMac but not with my Macbook Pro Retina.
    The Macbook Pro does recognize the device but when I try to connect, it gives me the following error message:
    "The device does not have the necessary services".
    TECH SPEC
    iMac has OS X 10.7.5
    Macbook Pro Retina has OS X 10.8.2
    MY ASSUMPTION
    If I upgrade to 10.8.2 I will not be able to use the headphones.
    Or
    The new Macbook Pro's are only functional with bluetooth headphones that have certain specs.

    I notice that the Type field of the connection is "handsfree"

    Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • External optical drive won't work on macbook pro retina.

    I have a macbook pro retina which doesn's have an optical drive. I have bought an optical drive. When I plug it in and put a disk in I can hear the disk spinning and the light comes on but nothing happens on my mac. It doesn't seem to recognise it. Any suggestions?

    Just had that happen to me.
    First, run Disk Utility and see if the SuperDrive (it is an Apple SuperDrive isn't it?) is listed. Is the disk you inserted shown? If not, hold down the option key and click the Apple menu - choose System Information and when that shows up, choose USB. See if it's listed there. If it is but neither the drive nor the disk you inserted appears on the Desktop, the side bar of the Finder window, or Disk Utility, return it for a refund (if it's within 14 days of purchase) or a replacement. That's what I had to do a few hours ago and the replacement works as it should.
    BTW, if you want the disk you inserted back, and pressing the trackpad as you reboot doesn't eject the disk, as a last resort run Terminal and enter (copy and paste the following)
    /usr/bin/drutil eject
    to try to force the disk to eject. It probably won't work (it didn't for me) but if it does, at least you get that disk back.

  • Freed memory not available 2012 MacBook Pro Retina

    I have a 500 GB flash storage drive on my 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. In a bid to run things faster for my music production, I've moved my large ITunes library onto an external hard drive. I backed everything up and trashed the iTunes folder after the external was all working, repaired disk permissions and restarted but my freed memory is still not showing. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  See if this will assist you ion detecting the problem.

  • SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone not detected in macbook pro retina 13"

    I just purchased an SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone. But my macbook pro retina 13" could not detect it. Anybody can help? It is perfectly working with my iphone 5.

    Unpair it from your phone and then try pairing it to your Mac.
    Does the Mac see any BT devices like KB or mouse?

  • AirPlay Mirroring not working on MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4)

    I am trying to mirror the display of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4) to my TV using the latest AppleTV. AirPlay works from iTunes to the AppleTV, but I don't have an AirPlay icon in my Display Preferences to project whatever's on the screen to the AppleTV. What could be wrong..? Thanks in advance.

    You need to update to Mountain Lion. Purchase it in the Mac App Store.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter not connecting on MacBook Pro Retina

    I recently purchased the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter to connect to my 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to a hardwired internet connection for faster downloads. However, when I connect the ethernet cord to the adapter nothing happens and only the wifi connection is identified.
    Ethernet or Thunderbolt Ethernet are not an option in the System Preference > Network. Also, either connection are options when trying to add a network interface ( System Preferences > Network > + > Interface).
    I have tried several fixes like Resetting PRAM or Removing Network Preferences File. The NetworkInferences.plist and Preferences.plist files did get recreated after reboot, but only the WIFI interface shows up.

    http://rohanradio.com/blog/2012/02/27/fixing-thunderbolt-ethernet-on-the-macbook -pro/
    I am sure the Thunderbolt ports are functional since I am able to connect my display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
    Could I have corrupted the Network Preference File or is could the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter damaged?
    Please help.

    I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
    Create a new Location in your Network system preferences. It will finally detect the "Display Ethernet" and use it. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.
    or
    Fix an existing Location by clicking the + to add a port and choosing Display Ethernet. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.

  • Mercury Playback Engine not available on Macbook Pro Retina 15"

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" with 16gb of RAM and a 500GB SSD, and am trying to enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) on a legitimate copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  For some reason the selection for that option is shaded and stuck on Software Only.  I have tried installing and enabling the nVIDIA CUDA driver but nothing has changed.  How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Looking at this, it doesn't seem that the Retina MacBook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is on the list. And the NVIDIA CUDA driver will give you nothing but heartache (a frequent source of kernel panics).
    You might want to take your question to the Adobe Premiere discussion boad to see if there are any current 'workarounds' -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere.
