Using USB on MacBook Pro for audio input

I have a turntable that outputs audio via USB for conversion from LPs to digital sound on my MacBook. It comes with Audacity software for control of the process. When I use my daughter's 5 year old Gateway I am presented, within Audacity, with a drop down of audio input choices - including the USB ports. When I try to use my MacBook the only option for audio input is the Microphone jack.
I'm pretty sure that I should be able to use the USB port for audio input but am unsure how to make it happen. I'm comfortable using GarageBand if the Audacity software is the problem.
Can anyone help me with this?

The previous answer is CRAP, your turntable already provides you digital audio over USB.
You just have to select USB Audio as the default audio input.
Under OSX this is not done inside Audacity, as is done under Windows. It must be done on the System Preferences, Audio.
There you will be able to select the USB interface as your default sound input.
After this, launch Audacity, and there you will see that the USB audio is now the only available option...

  • Can I use my macbook pro for HDMI input through thunderbolt

    I want to play my PS4 console on my Macbook Pro retina '13. I have HDMI cables and a thunderbolt/hdmi input cable.

    It would work for a Late 2009/Mid 2010 27-inch iMac, but not on a MacBook Pro, because it does not support Target Display mode, so you cannot use it as a display for a different device.

  • Macbook Pro with audio input?

    Is it possible to buy a 13-inch macbook pro, with an audio line input?

    I have tried using the headphone jack as my line in and it doesn't work.  Can someone tell me how to adjust settings so that it will actually work as my Line In?  I'm used to plugging in my DJ mixer using an RCA to 1/8" cable.  Any help on this would be appreciated - this has been a big disappointment with the new MBP model.  Thanks!

  • 13" Macbook Pro for Design?

    I'm considering the purchase of a new 13" Apple Macbook Pro to replace my 2008 15" Macbook Pro. In the past, I've used the 15" Macbook Pro when traveling to check email, surf the Internet, and work on design projects that are in the works. My 15" Macbook Pro has worked very well for all of this, but if I can do the same stuff with a 13" I'll save about $600.
    Does anyone here use a 13" Macbook Pro for doing ocassional design work and if so are you happy with your decision, or do you wish you would have spent the extra money and got a 15" model? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    better graphics cards, and two of them instead of one.  The 15" and 17" have both a dedicated and integrated graphics card(s) and both are gigher quality than the ones in the 13", where the 13" MBP only has a integrated one.  The dedicated one is for more beefy apps (like Adobe CS).  Also, the 15" and 17" offer different screen options, matte glossy high res etc

  • How do I set up my AT&T Beam USB modem to use on my MacBook Pro?

    I purchased the AT&T Beam after the salesperson at AT&T told me it wouldn't be a problem to use with my MacBook Pro.  When I received it, the instructions were bare minimum which didn't help me at all.  So, I plug it into my USB and nothing happens.  How do I get my MacBook to recognize it?

    It is all a bit confusing. AT&T product pages for the AT&T Beam (AC340U) do not appear to say anything about Mac OS X support, but a "Device How-To Center" page does. The latter also mentions Netgear as the manufacturer. At a Netgear site, the following page could be found:
    http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23444
    I do not know whether or not the web page above (or the problem/procedure described) is at all relevant to your very modem and the network operator in question. I agree with LowLuster, do contact AT&T tech support and ask them to sort things out.
    Generally speaking, I do also agree with Linc Davis about USB mobile broadband modems. The need for special driver software often leads to difficulties. A mobile broadband hotspot (3G or 4G), using Wi-Fi for the local wireless connection, is usually a better solution. An added advantage is that the hotspot location can be changed for optimal radio reception from the mobile tower.

    I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

    if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.

    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.*

  • I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro.  I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also.  Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice?  If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?

    I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro.  To upgrade my IMac to Lion, need I make an additional purchase?  If not, how do I facilitate the IMac upgrade?

    No, you do not need to re purchase Lion. You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.

  • Do i need to reformat a samsung m3 for using with a macbook pro

    Hello
    Do i need to reformat a new samsung m3 for using with a macbook pro?
    I have an old bipra which i use and i just remember literally plugging it in and going.
    thanks for any info.

    I don't know about your particular configuration but usually Disk Utility not recognizing a drive means the drive/card is history.  My G4 running OSX 10.4.11 will format SD cards.
    I don't know your model computer. Is this one with a SD slot built in?  If it is, do you have an external reader, or can you try another card in this slot to see if it is a slot problem?

    Got it. Thanks. I deleted the mouse (not an apple, but a logitech which has worked fine for me) and then re-discovered it and it's working. Appreciate the advice.
