I don't think so, because this is not about garageband specificaly, it's about the mac using internal speakers and iphone headset microphone at the same time. Input Microphone via Jack and Output speakers on the laptop.

    For anyone experiencing the same issues, I wanted to post a supplementary and final post on this issue.
    Several days in with the 253 cycle battery, I noted the following:
    1) The iBook breezed along with the power connected. Essentially it was back to its old self.
    2) Unplugged, it developed occasional freeze tendencies when the power dipped below 40-50%.
    3) The iBook passed every test I threw at it. I could find nothing obvious in any of the logs to suggest a hardware problem (other than a kaput battery).
    Almost certainly its probably a power issue although I suspect the HD may not have years of useful life. I swithered about replacing the battery with a new Apple battery, a NewerTech battery or another 3rd party replacement battery. After some thought, we bit the bullet and retired the iBook and we now have a white unibody MacBook. Depending on its saleability, the iBook may well be destined to live on as an entertainment device/traveling Mac as it is still a solid performer for lighter tasks.
    Upshot: when your iBook starts behaving weirdly, take a look at the battery health.
    Thanks

    But according to OWC it will support 8gb of RAM. http://eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macbooklate08.ht ml

    Check the Boot ROM Version in your System Profiler at this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237                       
    MacBooks with a Model ID of MacBook5,1 should have  a Boot ROM version of MB51.007D.B03.
    If your Boot ROM version does not match the numbers above, download the appropriate
    For MacBooks (MacBook5,1)
                MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.4 (Apple.com Download)
    Once you have ensured that the Boot ROM is the correct version,
    make sure your Operating System is updated to Mac OS X v10.6.6.
    You must be running Snow Leopard to address 8GB on these systems.

    I bought this computer with no disks, upgraded to Lion
    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
    for some reason AHT wasn't installed
    AHT is included in system disc #1.

    The management is quite easy. You can move your Documents, Movies, Music, and Pictures folders to another drive and then replace them in the original location with aliases.
    Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "alias." This will provide a help file on creating and using aliases.

    Ask yourself a question.
    How fast is your internet connection?
    If it is is 1-2-8 mb speed then you dont need 'n'.
    If you transfer personal info between computers fast speeds allowed up to 54 will save you time.
    'n' is to provide greater range like Mimo and increased transfer speeds.
    But do you really need it?
    No,if you dont transfer huge data,
    Yes, if you want to transfer (stream video from your iTV from Mac if you spend most of your day in front of TV.
    There is no substitute for a good reliable connection.
    In my real world experience because I only have a 8mb ADSL connection 'g' is not the strongest and most reliable scenario to use. During the last airport update my last 3 years of uninterrupted airport connections mixed PC and Macs on WDS set up went belly up and I had posted my thoughts as well with the relevant results and now set up is fine. But at a price.
    Downgraded to all on 'b' and now use my Draytek Vigor 2800VG and have AEBS put away in storage.
    My signal and range is out of this world. When I decide that I have enough free time to sit in front of a TV and download movies and watch them when I have nothing better to do such as travel the world etc. etc., that is the time I will go for speed...or will I.
    Dont get bamboozled by the hype. If you really want one wait for a year then decide. Let others solve the teething problems as is there want.

    You can use the two graphics cards, but it's only useful if you have more than two displays. It won't give you higher speed.

    Keep the temperature down, usually by boosting the lowest default fan speed to help.
    Also FBDIMMs on Amazon I have run at 59*C versus the 72*C+ of prior modules so adding less heat into the system.
    There are kits you can modify the card's fan and add copper heat sink pipes. You may be fine and not have to buy a new card and continue with the 8800GT.
    The X1900 was a huge problem with dust and therefore with heat and making the fans work harder - but never able to cool the interior, so the card had to be removed and dust inside the card's chamber 3-4X per year.
    My Mac Pro 1,1 even without the X1900 would warm up the area during winter after 3-4 hours of use - the exhaust on these is very hot. So monitor the temps and fans and I would  install SmcFanControl - I have always had it since 2007 to keep the fans default at 800-900 rpm along with Hardware Monitor (or use another) to monitor all the system sensors.

    Thanks again for your help Rod!
    One of the first things I tried was different combinations of devices to see if it may have been the device just not powering up. The main device I use is an official Apple wired keyboard, because at home I connect my MBP to my monitor and use a separate keyboard and mouse. I have tried other devices too with the same result, they only work when the dock is connected. I have tried connecting my iPhone via USB cable, i have a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive, which only lights up if the dock is connected, and I have a 4 port USB hub with a power LED on it, which again only lights up when the dock is connected.
    I looked in system profiler, and it says the USB ports are there, but doesn't recognise any devices plugged in, other than the dock. However, when the dock is plugged in, for example, it recognises the Apple keyboard in the other port.
    I took two screen shots, one of system profiler without the dock plugged in (USB keyboard still plugged in but not showing up), and another of when I plugged the dock in.
    Without Dock:
    With Dock:
    It might be worth pointing out that the HDD dock has two USB ports on it, which is what is highlighted in the second pic.
    I have also tried rebooting the computer with devices already attached but with the same result again. I've tried booting it with the dock and the keyboard attached, with just the keyboard, with just the dock, but either way unless the dock is connected, nothing else will work via USB.
    I just want to say thanks again Rod, it's very kind of you to spend your time trying to help me, and it is really appreciated!
    I'm going to contact Apple support shortly and see if they can offer a solution, or see if I can send it in for repair, which I am reluctant to do seeing as it's my only computer
    Cheers!
