Why wont my mic work?

I just bought an Audio Technica ATR2500 USB Condenser mic and I cant get it to record audio. I've changed all inputs to the mic, through the System Preferences>Sound option, through the Audio Midi, and through Garageband, but the mic still wont record sound. When I try to record something, there is a high amount of feedback, and you can barely hear my voice in the background. When i touch the mic, you can hear feedback also. I know that the mic isnt picking up much because I can see it what its picking up through Garageband and the System Preferences>Sound bar. I followed all directions, have done countless searches, and it seems like I am the only one with this problem. Is the mic not compatible with OSX Lion, or is it my setup? I just cant seem to figure it out. Ive recorded things before, so I am familar with how to change outputs and inputs, but I just cant seem to get this mic to work even though it is recognized by my Mac. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having this same problem. I'm running an MBP with Mountain Lion and a Mac Mini Server with Mountain Lion...works just fine on the MBP, and super quiet on the Mac Mini. No help from their website...this thing might be going back to Amazon

  • Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

    Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
    Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

    This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
    I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.

  • Why wont my volume work on my iPhone 4s?

    why wont my volume work on my iPhone 4s?

    Hey Chelsreb,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
              - Try turning off Bluetooth.
              - If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    7. Restart the iPhone.
    8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
    If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why wont this script work???

    Hi,
    I have previously used this script to make a portrait scroll bar which works perfectly, however i have altered the script to work in a landscape scroll bar by altering the x and y axis and switching out the height for width. However a part of it wont work...The left and right arrows work correctly however the scroll bar does not move and I can not for the life of me figure out why.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what ive missed or done wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    scrolling = function () {
    var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._width;
    var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._width;
    var scrollFaceWidth:Number = scrollFace._width;
    var maskWidth:Number = maskedView._width;

    sorry should have said...its the aspect relating to "scrollFace" which is mentioned throughout..ive marked it out in bold and taken out anything unrelivant.
    Thanks
    So its:
    scrolling = function () {

  • Why wont elements video  work

    I have just ugraded to elements 12 fro 9 and the video editor side wont load although 9 was also a bust. It asks me to sign in and when I do nothing happens I can click on new project or existing and the little stripe does its thing then nothing

    browndwarf
    Do you have an active Internet Connection?
    You need to Sign In to the program with your Adobe ID and password otherwise the program will not work.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/12/pe12-adobe-idpassword-requirement-for.html
    Please check out the above in that regard, although, from what you wrote, you "signed in". It includes a description of a problem that I had with Sign In dialog.
    Since you are having difficulties using Premiere Elements 9 or 12 on your computer, this suggests that the problem may be in the computer.
    1. What computer operating system is your computing running on? Please describe it resources?
    2. What video card/graphics card is your computer using? Is it using 2?
    3. Are you running the program as Run As Administrator and from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? Is Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 still installed on this same computer?
    5. Do you have 3rd party plug-ins and codecs installed on this computer? In reviewing your installed programs, do you see any likely candidates for conflicting programs?
    6. You say that Premiere Elements 9 was a "bust also". Did you troubleshoot that at the time and what were you told were your problems? Or was that never defined?
    Please check out the above and then let us know if any of it applies to your situation.
    Thanks.

  • Why wont yahoo mail work after updating to newst firefox?

    I can access yahoo mail site, but when I try to go to inbox, nothing happens. None of the tabs work either. I can access my account with Chrome but not with the updated Firefox.

  • Why wont my imessage work for just one contact

    For some reason my iPhone wont let me imessage with just one of my contacts... it works with all the other ones but that contact stays regular sms text! Tried rebooting the phone and turning my imessage on and off... dont get it!

    I have the same problem as SWatson12, and the person I'm texting has an iPhone 4S like me and is in my house - so there isn't a question of coverage area or type of phone.
    But iMessage still works with this person if I text via my Mac or iPad.
    This has been a problem since last night. At first, when I updated to 10.8.2, it worked great!

    But it wont load up...Why is this?

    --it wont load because you're not calling your Building() method...
    you modify your code like this:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.Applet;
    public class myApplet extends Applet
         Graphics g;
         public void init(){ // <<-- you can call it here...

              Building(g);
    public void Building (Graphics building)
    //--------constructors--------
    int height1 = 10, width1 = 5;
    int height2 = 15, width2 = 5;
    int height3 = 17, width3 = 5;
    setBackground (Color.gray);
    //Draws building one
    building.setColor (Color.black);
    building.fillRect (0, 175, 300, 50);

    G4 Ibook   Mac OS 9.0.x  

    You list yourself as using OS9. To use OS9 you would need iTunes 2 if I remember correctly. That version will not work with the iTMS. I didn't think you could boot and iBook G4 in OS9.
    To use the latest iTunes you need the following.
    Macintosh Requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later
    500MHz G3 processor or better
    QuickTime 6.5.2 or later

  • Why wont flickr share work in Photoshop elements 9

    I have posted this question before.  where can I fiind a reply??????????

    Hi,
    I'm afraid that it looks as though not much is happening to fix the problem. I  raised a bug report on the feedback site only recently. Feel free to log in there and add your name to the count.
    Elements share to Flickr not working
    f you add to that thread, can you make sure you increment the count at the top please. At the top, just at the end of my first entry, there is a count saying "n People have this question" and there is a +1 button next to it - click on that button. The count should then increment and the message should change to "you have this question".
    I think that the more people that add to the count, the better chance of a fix.
    For what its worth, I can share to Flickr using Lightroom so they must know how to do it.
    Brian
