iMac ?

[sunvalleylaw]

Hey Sunvalley, I had the same deal, I had to make a change in system preferences, sound, input, select line in rather than built in mic.

Yeah, I did that. Now no sound at all, from iTunes or whatever. Have checked the prefs 3 times, input is set to audio line in, output is on and set to internal speakers. No go.

Worked like a champ on my other iMac (My secretary's) which is the G4 lampshade one with Bose mini speaks. Tried out a bunch of different amp emulations and it was really fun. The iMac duo must have some sort of sound card issue. I have a call in to figure it out.

Try to run all maintenance tasks, and disc repairs and see if it helps.

I hearby nominate SuperSwede as our resident Mac "Go-to-Guy", sorry, no funny looking hats or badges though.

Second the nomination. No funny hats, but we can get him a black turtleneck so he can look like Steve Jobs.

I did download that program and ran maintenance. Thanks for that link. Nice to do that maintenance anyway. However, my local mac dealer confirms that it must simply have been a weak sound portion on the motherboard, and he will run diagnostics to confirm, and take care of it under warranty. Meanwhile, I can take a lunch break with my secretary's machine which does work, since she is not here today. Need to get back to the superfuzz and sixties texture settings, maybe also surf, classic rock and arena rock as well. Lots of fun!

Ok

I hope it works out for you.

I dropped it off yesterday eve. the way home and the tech said I should have it back Tues. In the meantime, I spent lunch break time with the older version of Garageband on my secretary's G4 iMac (the lampshade one) It is fun to play with the amp simulations. I am going to search for a GB thread to see if settings, etc. have been discussed. Once I get comfortable, I will probably try to record and post some horrible newbie playing for group comment.

Let me know how it goes Steve, I haven't spent enough time with it to like it or not.

I'll make it a project and post results at some point in the future.

ok, the suspense was killing me, I tried it out and I liked it. I'll try to post my clip and you guys can throw tomatoes at me.

Cool!! That will motivate me to do the same. Have to get my computer (that runs the program and is not being used by my secretary) back from the shop first.

pm to you Steve ............
