Trying to use multiple Blue Snowball Microphones, but Mac only recognizes one!

Trying to record using multiple snowball mics by blue, but the Mac will only recognize one device at a time. Only one shows up in system preferences, and in trying to create an aggragate device. If you have both plugged in, the audio levels freeze up, and the devices become unresponsive.
I have seen similar threads around but no one seems to have any answers. Blue's tech support is closed for the weekend so I can't call them. Please help if anyone has any ideas.

Typically, over USB I can only get my computers (mac and PC) to recognize 2 channels at a time over one source. If your computer is recognizing one and not both or the other when both are plugged in, I think one is all you're going to be able to use. Also, in the system preferences under Sound, if you are able to only select one or the other, I believe all you can do is select which one you want to use.
Those micrphones work well and one should do a good job. Don't forget about Micrphone Phase Cancellation.
"Two microphones, intended to pick up two sound sources must be placed apart at least three times the distance that either microphone is from it’s intended sound source." http://www.recordingeq.com/articles/321eq.html

I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone but it only recognizes the first one and only produces the firts one in a DVD. How can I drop all three movie clips into one drop zone

On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three movie clips into one drop zone.

I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

My itunes library is much bigger than the 64gb on my ipod touch, but I want to update the touch to ios5.1. I tried the ipod backuo funnction, but this only produced a small file, much smaller than 64gb. If I upgrade, will i lose all the music and books as currently constituted on the ipod touch?

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.. See the following for what it contains.

Voice Over beeps in FCE using Blue Snowball Microphone

Hello,
I would like to use a Blue Snowball Microphone, the same one advertised for sale on the Apple Store, to record voice overs in FCE. I have had some success, but there are beeps in the recording. How can I avoid those when doing voice overs?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi(Bonjour)!
YOur voice over captured audio needs rendering because the rate do not match of your easy setup (for audio).
Pay attention that your settings in voice over window is set to 48000 hz rate. See pages 625 and ss. of your user's manual (in the help menu).

I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared?

I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared. It works perfectly well from my iPhone and iPad and tt did work for a while from the iMac allowing me to select multiple speakers including Apple TV and my two panasonic stereo systems which are airplay compatible, but now only works from iPhone/iPad. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I as having a similar problem with the iOS remote application. I was trying to stream my iMac's media to my Apple TV, but the iMac would not show up as a choice. This was particularly frustrating because I have updated in the last to weeks to 1.) The Yosemite Beta on my iMac, 2.) New sotware on my ATV, and 3.) iOS8 on my phone. It was impossible to ascertain which of those three updates was the culprit. So after much troubleshooting (and much swearing), the following seemed to work:
One-by-one, disengage home sharing on all three devices and then re-engage. Pretty simple. Let us know if it works for you!

BLUE Snowball microphone

has anyone used the BLUE Snowball mic, the usb one? Does it work with logic? I know this company makes great mics. I wonder how this $150 mic works with vocals?
thanks

Yes, I have used the Snowball with Logic, but it took a lot of looking around at other posts on this forum to see how.
First, you need to be running Tiger - are you? It would be nice if you have GarageBand, because the Snowball works out of the box with GB, so if you can record a track on GB with it you know that nothing's wrong with the mic or the USB connection.
Then you've got to monkey with Logic to make it work there. You will record blank audio unless you do these steps:
First go to Audio MIDI Setup and create an "aggregate device" that includes the Blue Snowball. As a newbie to Logic and digital audio but a well-trained musician and computer professional, it took me a while to figure out how to do this.
But, still I kept recording blank tracks.
Another post on this forum solved my problem: on my audio track I found that I could choose "Input 3" or "Input 4" in the I/O slot. Then, as a still-excited Newbie, I learned how to use the Vocoder, using the Blue Snowball to create my side-chain track (and carefully reading the Logic manual to see how to do it.)

Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

Apple id says my gmail address is already used by another id but I only have one. I'm trying to change my apple id to my gmail.address

I want to change my apple ID to my gmail address to use with FaceTime. I went to appleid.apple.com and signed into my account. I don't see anyway 'edit' to change my email address.
When I tried to use it as my alternate, I get the message saying that email is not available because it is being used by another apple ID, but I only have the one.

Simply update your old AppleID.

Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

I'm getting prompted to update adobe acrobat 9.5.5 which I have deleted. I am currently using 10.1.13. It is still asking me to update 9.5.5 (can't find anything using it) I have tried to cancel the update prompts for 9.5.5, but it only recognizes the 10.1.13 version. Suggestions? Am I missing something? It's driving me crazy!

Hi ncm72,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Also, go to Control Panel/System Preferences in Windows/MAC and check whether Acrobat 9 is shown under installed programs list.
You might also try running Acrobat cleaner tool to remove all traces of previous versions of Acrobat:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then, install Acrobat X again from the link mentioned below:
Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
Let me know if this works.
Regards,
Anubha

Apple id : [email protected]

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
