SD and SDXC card slot FAQ

What is SD?
Secure Digital (SD) describes devices that conform to SD standards for non-volatile memory cards. See the SD Association website for more detailed information.


Are there size limitations for the cards that can be inserted into the SD slot?
Yes. The SD card specification for a memory card is 32 mm by 24 mm by 2.1 mm. You can also use thinner cards, such as MultiMediaCards (MMC). Cards that have a thickness greater than 2.1mm or that have surfaces that exceed 2.1mm should not be used. Do not use cards exceeding this size, which may damage the SD card slot if inserted.


Which SD card formats work in the SD card slot?
Cards that conform to the SD 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x standards should work. The SD card slot can use cards that are Standard SD (Secure Digital) 4 MB to 2 GB, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC  (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) 4G B to 2 TB. MMC can also be used in this slot. MiniSD, MicroSD, and higher density formats like MiniSDHC and MicroSDHC can also work with the use of "passive" adapters that conform to the width and thickness specifications listed above.

Example of a passive adapter:




What is the maximum speed that my computer can use when reading and writing to an SD card in the SD card slot?
Macs that use the USB bus to communicate with the SD card slot have a maximum speed of up to 480 Mbit/s. Newer Macs use the PCIe bus to communicate with the SD card slot and can transfer data at a much faster rate.

Check the packaging that came with your SD media to determine the maximum transfer rate used by that specific card.

Determine the maximum speed of your Mac using the System Profiler:

1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple () menu.
2. Click More Info.
3. Select USB from the hardware section (for Macs that use the USB bus to communicate with the SD card slot).
4. Select Internal Memory Card Reader and look for the Speed entry. or
5. Select Card Reader from the Hardware section (for Macs that use the PCIe bus to communicate with the SD card slot).
6. Look for the Link Speed entry. Computers that use the PCIe bus express their speed as GT/s.

Does the SD slot work with cards that exceed 32 GB?
Yes.  However, most media manufactures preformat the media using common block-and-cluster sizes that do not approach the theoretical limits of a given file system. Most SD cards use the FAT32 file format. Preformatted FAT32 SD media is commonly available up to a capacity of 32 GB. Media that exceeds 32GB usually uses the exFAT file system. Some smaller capacity cards use the FAT16 file format. Preformatted FAT16 media is generally available up to a capacity of 2 GB. To determine which file system you are using with Mac OS X v10.6.5 or later, insert the media into the SD card slot, go to the Apple menu, select About this Mac..., click on More info..., click on Card Reader in the hardware section, and locate the File System field.


Will the SD card slot work with SD cards that use the exFAT file system?
Yes. Any Mac computer with an SD card slot and running Mac OS X v10.6.5 or later can use the exFAT file system. Note: If you are running Windows 7 using Boot Camp, the exFAT file system can be used only with the MacBook Pro (Early 2011).


How do I insert media into the SD card slot?
Insert a card with the metal contacts facing down and pointing toward the computer.  Do not force media into the SD card slot.  This may damage the SD card slot.

How does my Mac use the media inserted into the SD card slot?
Your computer recognizes a card inserted into the SD card slot as a USB storage device. The SD card can be mounted, read from, and written to just as any other USB storage device can.


I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount.  What should I do?
Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.


When I try to write content to the card, I get a "cannot be modified" message.  How can I fix this?
This message appears when you attempt to modify the contents of an SD card that is locked using the lock slider on the card. To edit data on the card, drag the icon representing the device to the Trash to eject the card. When the icon disappears from the desktop, remove the card from the computer.  Adjust the slider tab to unlock the card, then reinsert the card into the slot. Refer to the manufacturers instructions for the location of the slider tab.


Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.


Can I install Mac OS X on an SD storage device and use it as a startup volume?
Yes. Change the default partition table to GUID using Disk Utility, and format the card to use the Mac OS Extended file format to do so.


How do I remove a card from the SD card slot?
As with any removable media device, allow any data transfer to SD media to complete before removing the card. When removing the card, the best way to insure the integrity of your data is to drag the icon that represents the card to the Trash, then remove the card from the slot after the icon disappears from your desktop.


Can I use SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) cards?
No. Although SDIO cards are within the width and thickness specifications and should not damage the slot if inserted, they will not be recognized by the computer.


Can I use OS X to see the specifications for the interface hardware and media inserted in the SD card slot?
Yes. The System Profiler should provide information on the interface hardware and the media you inserted into the slot.  To access the System Profiler, choose About This Mac from the Apple () menu. Click More Info, then select USB in the Hardware section. A list of USB devices should appear. Select Internal Memory Card Reader to access information about the interface hardware and the media inserted into the SD card slot.


Can I use the SD card slot while running Windows using Boot Camp?
Yes. The SD card slot works with Boot Camp in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate. Note: If you are running Windows 7 using Boot Camp, the exFAT file system can be used only with the MacBook Pro (Early 2011).


Use DVD or USB storage to install Boot Camp drivers?
SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards cannot be used to install Boot Camp software on Macs with an SD or SDXC card slot. For more information on the SD/SDXC card slot.

Connect your camera or camcorder

Digital cameras and camcorders allow you to capture memorable events. Learn how to import your photos and videos from your camera or camcorder.

Digital cameras
With iPhoto, you can organize, edit, and share your photos. Your friends and family may enjoy your vacation videos even more after you edit the footage in iMovie.

If your looking for more professional approach to editing and enhancing photos and videos, try Aperture for retouching photos or Final Cut Pro for video editing.

You have to import your photos and movies into your Mac first, which brings us to this lesson: Connect your camera or camcorder to your Mac.

Although many cameras can be connected to your computer without installing any software, check the documentation that came with your camera to see what your model requires; some manufacturers require or recommend that you install software to get the full benefits from your camera.


If you want to use iPhoto to view and edit your pictures

iPhoto makes it easy to download your camera's photos to your hard drive.

1. Make sure you have the latest iPhoto and OS X updates installed by checking the App Store (OS X Lion) or Software Update preferences.
2. Connect your camera to your Mac using the USB cable that came with your camera. Note: If your Mac has an SD card slot and your camera uses a compatible SD card, you can simply insert the card into your Mac instead of connecting the camera via a USB cable (then skip to step 4).
3. Turn on your camera. If your camera needs to be set to a certain mode to transfer photos, do so now but check your camera manual if you're not sure how. The camera or more precisely, its media card, appears in the devices section of the Finder sidebar as a mounted volume.
4. Open iPhoto, if it does not open automatically.
5. iPhoto displays your camera or the name you gave your media card in the devices list of the iPhoto sidebar.
6. Type a name for your group of photos in the Event Name field, such as "Nevada Vacation" or "Company Party Photos."
7. Click Import Selected to only import selected photos from your camera, or click Import All to import all photos from your camera. iPhoto wlll import pictures and movies from your camera.
8. When prompted, click Delete Photos to delete them from your camera or SD card. Or, click Keep Photos to keep them on your cameras or SD card.
9. To disconnect the camera or SD card when finished, click the eject button next to the camera icon in the devices list. When the camera or card disappears from the list, you can safely disconnect it.

To transfer images from your camera using Image Capture

If you'd rather not download images into iPhoto,

you can use Image Capture to copy them anywhere on your hard drive

These steps will copy image files from your camera to wherever you wish on your hard drive, but not to iPhoto's library. You can later add them to iPhoto if you wish.

1. Connect your camera to your Mac using the USB cable that came with your camera. Note: If your Mac has an SD card slot and your camera uses a compatible SD card, you can simply insert the card into your Mac instead of connecting the camera via a USB cable (then skip to step 3).
2. Turn on your camera. If your camera needs to be set to a certain mode to transfer photos, do so now by simply checking your camera's manual. The camera or more precisely, its media card appears on the desktop as a mounted volume.
3. Open Image Capture (located in Applications). Note: If iPhoto opens automatically, you can quit it.
4. Select the media card of your camera from the devices list, if it is not already selected.
5. At the bottom of the devices and shared list, you can choose to delete photos from your camera after importing them and you can choose which application opens when you reconnect your camera or card to your computer.
6. From the import To pop-up menu, choose where you want Image Capture to download your files.
7. If you want to import all the photos from your camera, click Import All. If you only want selected photos imported, choose the photos you want and then click Import. Tip: By pressing and holding down the Command key and clicking the photos you can select multiple photos. The photos you select will be highlighted (as shown in the figure above).
8. All photos that you import will have a green checkmark indicating they have been imported.
9. To disconnect the camera or SD card, click the eject button to the right of the media card in the devices list of Image Capture.

To manually download photos
Many cameras allow you to manually copy your images using the Finder. Use these steps to copy your camera's photo and movie files by simply dragging and dropping the files from the camera volume to your hard drive:

You can copy your camera's photo and movie files by simply dragging and dropping the files from the camera volume to your hard drive

1. Connect your camera to your Mac using the USB cable that came with your camera. Note: If your Mac has an SD card slot and your camera uses a compatible SD card, you can simply insert the card into your Mac instead of connecting the camera via a USB cable (then skip to step 3).
2. Turn on your camera. If your camera needs to be set to a certain mode to transfer photos, do so now. You may want to check your camera manual if you're not sure how. The camera or more precisely, its media card, appears in the devices section of the Finder sidebar as a mounted volume.
3. Double-click the volume to open it and open the DCIM folder, which holds your pictures.
4. Drag the image files or folder to your desktop or any folder on your hard drive to copy them. You can then open the files in any graphics application, and even import them into iPhoto if you want by dragging the files into the album section of the iPhoto sidebar.
5. To delete all photos from the media card in your camera, you can either drag the DCIM folder to the Trash and then empty the Trash, or delete the images using your camera's controls.
6. To disconnect the camera, drag the volume icon to the Trash, it turns into an Eject icon. When the icon disappears from the desktop, you can safely disconnect your camera.

Camcorders
Here's how to connect a camcorder to your computer and capture footage in iMovie.

Use a video capture application, such as iMovie, to import footage

1. Connect your camcorder to your computer, using the FireWire or USB cable that came with it. Typically for FireWire, a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable, plug the small end (4-pin) connector into your camera's FireWire port.
2. Turn on your camera and set it to PC Connect mode (this mode may have a different name on your camera).
3. Open iMovie.
4. If the Import window doesn't open, choose File > Import from Camera from the iMovie menu, or click the video camera button above the Event Library list. The Import window displays all the video clips on your camera.
5. You can use the playback controls in the iMovie interface to view your camera footage in the iMovie monitor pane.
6. To select all clips, set the Automatic/Manual switch to Automatic, and then click Import All. To import specific clips, set the Automatic/Manual switch to Manual. Deselect the clips you don't want to import, and click Import Checked. The first time you import from a video camera that records high-definition (HD) video, an HD Import Setting dialog appears. Even if you aren't importing high-definition, video now, select Large or Full, and then click OK.
7. From the Save to pop-up menu, choose a location to store the videos.
8. in the Create new Event field enter a event name and then click Import.

Playing music with AirPlay

How to use AirPlay
Just plug your stereo system or speakers into the audio port on your AirPort Express using an audio cable or have your AirPlay-enabled output devices connect to the same local network as your iTunes library.

When you open iTunes 10 or later on your Mac or PC, you'll see an AirPlay button at the bottom right-hand corner of the iTunes window.Clicking on the AirPlay button will let you control where you stream your content.


Add AirPlay to your current network
Simply connect your stereo system to the audio port on your AirPort Express using an audio cable and plug it into an electrical outlet. Once this is done, AirPlay wirelessly links to your existing network, letting you play your music in your room of choice with AirPlay-enabled output devices without moving anything or connecting anything else.

AirPlay-enabled output devices other than AirPort Express may connect to the network in other ways. Refer to the instructions from the manufacturer for more details.


Listening through multiple speakers
With AirPlay and iTunes 10 or later, you can listen to music through your computer speakers and multiple AirPlay outputs.

The maximum number of outputs are three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the outputs, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.


Controlling multiple speakers
You can use the Multiple Speakers window to control the relative volume of your output devices.

The sound coming out of your AirPlay output device may sound louder or softer because of on the accoustic characteristics of the area in which it is placed. The sound being outputted may sound different even in comparison to the sound output from the same device placed in a different area.

If you set the softest output to most closely match the Master Volume, when you adjust the Master Volume, you have more precise control over that output.

You can adjust Master Volume in the Multiple Speakers window or by using the main volume control in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window:

Louder AirPlay outputs can be set to a lower volume to better control the extra power.


Controlling playback on the go
The Remote app allows you to control iTunes or Apple TV from your iOS device. If you are streaming from your iTunes library and step away from the computer, take your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with you to control the iTunes library.

Apakah Boleh Adzan Dan Iqomah Sholat Dalam Kondisi Duduk Sedangkan Dia Mampu Duduk?

Pertanyaan:
Apakah diperbolehkan iqamah shalat dalam kondisi duduk atau di kamar lain bukan tempat di mana saya shalat di dalamnya?

Jawaban:
 Alhamdulillah Yang sesuai sunnah bagi seorang muazin ketika mengumandangkan azan dan iqamah (shalat) adalah dilakukan dalam keadaan berdiri. Ini yang telah dilakukan sejak zaman Nabi sallallahu’alaihi wa sallam sampai sekarang. Barangsiapa yang azan dan iqamah dalam kondisi duduk tanpa ada uzur, maka dia telah menyalahi sunnah. Ini perkara yang telah disepakati oleh para ulama tanpa ada perbedaan.

 Terdapat dalam Al-Mausu’ah Al-Fiqhiyyah, 15/264;


 ‘Pelaksanaan azan dan iqamah dalam kondisi duduk, para ahli fiqih telah sepakat bahwa dimakruhkan seorang muazin melakukan azan dalam kondisi duduk kecuali kalau ada uzur, atau azan untuk dirinya sendiri sebagaimana dikatakan oleh Hanafiyah dan Malikiyah. Berdasarkan perintah Nabi sallallahu’alaihi wa sallam kepada Bilal untuk berdiri dalam sabdanya, ‘Berdirilah dan serulah untuk shalat.’ Dahulu para muazin Rasulullah sallallahu’alaihi wa sallam ketika azan dalam kondisi berdiri, karena berdiri lebih kuat dalam penyampaian. Sebagaimana azan dan iqamah dalam kondisi duduk menyalahi sesuatu yang telah turun temurun.

 Ibnu Hamid dari Hanbli mengatakan, ‘Kalau dia azan dalam kondisi duduk, maka batal (azannya). Begitu juga perkataan Syekh Taqiyuddin, tidak diterima azannya orang duduk. Diriwayatkan dari Abu Al-Baqa, bahwa azan harus diulangi kalau dilakukan dalam keadaan duduk.

 Adapun orang yang punya uzur tidak mengapa azan dalam kondisi duduk, Al-Hasan bin Muhammad Al-Abdi berkata, ‘Aku melihat Zaid shahabat Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam dahulu kakinya terluka di jalan Allah azan dalam kondisi duduk.’

 Sunnahnya tidak berjalan ketika dia iqamah, hendaknya dia iqamah di tempat dimana dia akan shalat disitu. Agar tidak ada pemisah antara iqamah dan masuk shalat. Karena iqamah adalah pemberitahuan akan menunaikan shalat, maka shalat dilakukan langsung setelah iqamah.

 Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad berkata di kitab ‘Masailnya’, 61/220, 'Saya berkata kepada ayahku tentang seseorang yang berjalan ketika iqamah. Beliau mengatakan, ‘Saya lebih senang dia iqamah di tempatnya.’ 

Ishaq bin Rahawaih berkata:

 “Seorang muazin kalau memulai iqamah maka hendaknya dia menjadi imam. Tidak diperkenankan berjalan dalam iqamah sampai dia selesai. Keutamaan segera menunaikan shalat dapat diwujudkan manakala dia berada di tempat iqamah hingga selesai." ‘Masail Imam Ahmad Wa Ishaq, 2/836.

 Wallahu’alam.

Check spelling and grammar

In many Mac OS X applications you can check spelling, or both spelling and grammar, in documents such as TextEdit files or email messages.

Note: Many applications have some, but not all, of the spelling and grammar options. For example, in some applications the Edit menu has a “Spelling” option instead of a “Spelling and Grammar” option.
If you don’t see either “Spelling” or “Spelling and Grammar” in the Edit menu, the application doesn’t provide the Mac OS X spell-checking feature. Check the application’s preferences or menus to see if it has its own spelling checker.

Accept or ignore suggested words
Mac OS X uses “text prediction” to assist you as you type, by showing you suggested words below the word you are typing.

1. To accept a suggested word, press the Space bar and continue typing. If multiple suggestions are shown, click the one you want to accept.
2. To ignore the suggested word, continue typing as usual.

Check the spelling of a single word
Select the word, and then choose Edit > “Spelling and Grammar” > “Show Spelling and Grammar.”


Check spelling in an entire document

1. With the document open, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Document Now. The first error in your document is highlighted.
2. Either correct the word or leave it as is, and then press Command-semicolon (;) to see the next error.
3. To see suggested alternate spellings for a word, and get easy access to other spelling and grammar commands, hold down the Control key as you click an error.

Check spelling and make corrections as you type

1. Open the application you want to use and choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Spelling While Typing. When you mistype or misspell a word, it’s underlined in red.
2. If you want to correct misspellings as you type, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Correct Spelling Automatically. Misspelled words are corrected if they don’t begin with a capital letter and don’t appear on a line of their own.

These steps enable spell check and auto-correction for the current document. Some applications, such as TextEdit, let you set a preference to enable the feature for all new documents. You can also enable this feature for all documents in applications that support this feature. To do so, select “Correct spelling automatically” in the Text pane of Language & Text preferences.


Check grammar along with spelling
With the document you want to check open, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Grammar With Spelling, so there’s a checkmark next to it.

Misspelled words are underlined in red and grammar errors in green.


Use advanced spelling and grammar options

1. With a document open, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
2. To change the language, choose it from the pop-up menu. If you want to see more language options, choose Open Text Preferences.
3. To check grammar along with spelling, select the “Check grammar” checkbox.
4. If an error is found, do one of the following:
5. If one of the suggested alternatives is correct, select it and click Change.
6. If none of the alternatives is correct, retype the word or words and click Change.
7. If you don’t want to make a correction, click Ignore. The error is ignored if it occurs again in the current window, but is highlighted if it’s found in other windows.
8. If you don’t want the word to be treated as an error, click Learn to add it to your personal dictionary. (In some applications, you can Control-click the word and choose Learn Spelling from the shortcut menu.)
9. To review a definition of a suggested alternative, select it and click Define.
10. If no alternatives are listed, click Guess to see whether any possibilities appear.
11. To continue checking without making any changes, click Find Next.

If you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the Spelling and Grammar window and click Ignore, or Control-click the misspelling and choose Unlearn Spelling from the shortcut menu.

Check for errors missed by the spell checker
It’s a good idea to read through your document yourself, even if you use the spell checker. If you type “fine” instead of “find,” for example, it won’t show up as a misspelled word.

To easily identify such errors, highlight the text you want to check and choose Edit > Speech > Start Speaking.

Check external devices

If you are using an external networking device, such as a hub or a router, and are having trouble connecting to the Internet, there may be problems with your devices or cables.

1. Check that all the devices you are using are turned on and have started up completely.
2. Make sure all cables related to the modem are plugged in and firmly inserted. This includes the modem’s power cord, the cable from the modem to the wall jack, and the cable from the modem to your computer. To be sure a connector is properly inserted, disconnect and reconnect it. Be sure that cables have not been cut, chewed, or otherwise damaged.
3. If you are using an Ethernet hub, router, or gateway, make sure all cables and power supplies are properly connected. If you have more than one power supply available for a type of hub or router, try switching the power supplies. A defective power supply may affect network traffic.
4. Turn off the power on your DSL or cable modem for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Some service providers recommend that you unplug the modem’s power cord to turn off power to it. This is required if the modem does not have a power button. If the modem has a reset button, try pressing it before or after unplugging the modem and plugging it back in.
5. Check the indicator lights on the modem. Some DSL and cable modems have indicator lights that provide useful information about the modem’s connections. A “cable” light may indicate that the cable network is available, whereas a “PC” light may indicate that the modem recognizes the connection to your computer. If such a light remains off after you have checked your cables and turned the power off and on, check the documentation that came with the modem, or contact your Internet service provider (ISP).

If you use one or more devices, such as a DSL or cable modem and a router to connect your computer to the Internet, try turning off all the devices, waiting a few minutes, and then turning them back on in order. Turn on the device closest to the Internet connection first, let it restart completely, and then turn on the next device.

Restart an external device

If you have a network device, such as a hub or router, connected to your computer, and you are having problems, you might be able to correct the problem by restarting the device. See the documentation that came with the device if you don’t know how to restart it.

It often helps to wait a few minutes between turning off and restarting the device, and then wait until it has started up completely before trying to use it.

If you have multiple devices connected in a “daisy-chain” to your computer, it is important to turn off all the devices, and then restart them in sequence, starting from the device farthest from the computer. For example, if you have a DSL or cable modem connected to the Internet, a router connected to the modem, and your computer is connected to the router, turn off all of the devices. Wait a few minutes, and then restart the modem first. When it has started up completely, restart the router, and let it start up completely.

If restarting the devices doesn’t help, you may want to restart your computer. If the problem persists, use Network Diagnostics to help solve the connection problem.

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
2. Click “Assist me,” and then click Diagnostics.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Ports and Connectors

On the sides of your Mac are a few small, geometric-shaped holes on your computer that may differ from one another. These are your computer's ports, which are used to connect other devices (aka peripherals) to your Mac.

You've probably heard the words "FireWire" and "USB" tossed around at work or your local computer or electronics superstore, but what exactly do these terms mean?

This Apple MacBook Pro has most of its ports located on its side—your port locations may vary.

Your keyboard and mouse are connected to your computer's USB ports. If you're connected to the Internet, you probably have a modem connected to your computer's Ethernet port, unless you're connected wirelessly. Look no further for high-speed I/O performance, connect your device like Thunderbolt capable displays, storage devices, and video capture solutions directly to your Mac's Thunderbolt port. Learn to connect your Mac to an audio system or to connect headphones or speakers using the audio ports. As you progress through your Mac life, you'll probably get the desire to buy a peripheral or two—or 10. To help make your connection choices a little easier, let's take a look at the different ports your Mac may have.

iMac (Mid 2011)
MacBook
MacBook Air
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011)
Mac mini (Mid 2011)
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

Learn more about USB and Firewire ports, devices, and basic troubleshooting. Got a new Thunderbolt Display, see which Macs connect to it. 

Help - I Don't Have Enough Ports!
Apple computers vary in the number of ports each features—more specifically, a MacBook, for example, has fewer USB and FireWire ports than a Mac Pro. But you may run into a situation where your Mac doesn't have enough ports to connect your growing peripheral collection. So how are you supposed to hook up all your peripherals?

Easy. Get a hub.

There are plenty of third-party USB and FireWire hubs on the market. These hubs work in the same way that a power strip allows you to plug in more electrical devices into a single socket. Companies such as Belkin and Kensington offer a wide variety of hubs. And if you're looking to create your own computer network, you'll find plenty of Ethernet hubs on the market too.

Connecting iPod, iPad, instruments or home stereo

You can easily connect guitars, microphones, keyboards, digital music players, home stereos, and speakers to your Mac. Learn how to connect third-party audio and music devices to your Mac, and how to configure them for use.

Playing and streaming music from your Mac, iPod, or iPad 
You can play music from your Mac using iTunes, or, stream it wirelessly to external speakers using an iPod, iPhone or iPad. 

If you need to use a third-party audio device to connect your speakers to your Mac, it needs to be plugged-in using a FireWire, USB or S/PDIF cable.  If drivers are required for the audio device, you should install them first, before plugging the device into the Mac for the first time.  If you aren't sure if a driver needs to be installed for your audio device, check with the documentation which was included with it, or, consult the manufacturers web site.  Class compliant audio devices do not require a software driver to work with a Mac, whereas non-class compliant audio devices require a driver for correct operation.  The most obvious clues that a required driver has not been installed for a third party audio device include no sound, constantly blinking lights on the audio device itself and/or difficulty choosing the device as an input (or output) in the Sound system preferences.     

You can also stream music (as well as videos and photos) from your iPod, iPad, or iPhone using AirPlay. Additionally, with iOS 5, you can wirelessly sync your iOS device (including music) over a shared Wi-Fi connection.


Connecting your home stereo to a Mac
If you want to digitize your vinyl record or cassette tape collection, or other sound source, you can easily connect your home stereo to your computer, then use audio recording software such as GarageBand to record the music on your Mac.

To do this, you will need a USB or FireWire audio interface that has dual RCA inputs, or if your Mac has an audio input, you can use a 1/8-inch stereo mini plug to dual RCA female connectors adapter.

Follow these steps to record from your home stereo to your Mac:

1. Connect the RCA connectors to your stereo receiver's auxiliary (Aux) output. (This may also be called "Record" or "Tape Out" on some receivers)
2. Connect the other end of the cable either to the audio input port on your Mac, or, to your Mac-connected audio interface.
3. Turn on your home stereo.
4. Make sure your stereo is set to output via auxiliary.
5. From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then click Sound.
6. Click the Input tab and select your audio interface or the audio line In.

Connecting headphones and speakers
Macs have built-in speakers, but you may also consider connecting a set of headphones for personal listening, or, connect external speakers (which are sometimes also referred to as monitors) to your computer for audio mixing or other tasks.  You don't even need to install additional software to do so, unless you have a surround sound speaker system which requires a driver to be installed on your Mac.

To use headphones, just plug in your headphone cable into the headphone/line out port on your Mac, if your headphones have a 1/4-inch stereo plug, you will need a 1/4-inch stereo female phono connector to 1/8-inch stereo mini phono plug adapter.

Depending on your speaker connections and your computer's ports, you will need to connect them to your computer's headphone/line out jack, USB port, FireWire port, or optical digital audio output port. Generally, regardless of what type of connector you use, you'll need to connect one main cable to the appropriate port on your Mac to then "feed" the audio signal to your speaker system. Please consult the instructions that came with your speakers for information and about hooking up your speaker system. Your speakers instructions may also contain suggestions for ideal speaker placement locations.

Tip: If surround sound content plays on only two speakers of a 5-speaker (or more) surround sound setup, it may indicate a configuration problem with the speakers, or the application being used to play the content on the Mac doesn't support surround sound output.  For best results, always use either the iTunes or DVD Player applications to enjoy surround sound content on your Mac.


Attaching an audio interface
Using a third-party audio interface allows you to easily and quickly record yourself singing or playing a musical instrument on your Mac, and allows you to output your Mac's audio to professional speakers even if they use different connection types than your Mac has.

If you want to record instruments on your Mac, USB or FireWire audio interface devices are the easiest and fastest way to get started!  A variety of third-party audio interfaces are available to connect your musical gear (which uses connections such as XLR, 1/4 inch phono, RCA jacks, S/PDIF or MIDI) to your Mac.

A number of third-party companies produce Mac-compatible audio interface devices that allow you to quickly and easily record yourself, including Alesis, Apogee Digital, Digidesign, Roland, MOTU, PreSonus.

This combined FireWire/USB interface (the Audio Express by MOTU) features a built-in audio interface and supports a wide range of audio connections

Once you've selected a third-party audio interface device, install any drivers (if needed) and then connect it to your Mac.

1. Follow the setup instructions that came with your audio interface device and install the software drivers first, as necessary.
2. If you have a USB audio interface, connect it to a USB port on your computer, using the cable that came with your device. If you have a FireWire audio interface, attach it to your computer's FireWire port, using the appropriate FireWire cable.
3. Turn on your audio interface and connect its accompanying power supply, if needed.
4. To make your Mac use the audio interface as its audio input or output, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
5. From the View menu, choose Sound. This opens the Sound preferences pane.
6. Click the Input tab.
7. Choose your audio interface in the list to select it for use. Note: If you don't see your interface in the list, be sure that you've installed the correct driver.
8. Click the Output tab.
9. Choose your audio interface in the list to select it for use. 

Plug in your guitar, bass, keyboard or microphone
If you are connecting a musical instrument to your Mac, its recommended that you use an audio interface as they typically provide the preamp boost needed to bring up audio levels for instruments and mics. If you don't have one but your Mac has an 1/8-inch audio input port, you can still attach a guitar, bass, or microphone.

You'll need a 1/8-inch stereo mini plug to 1/4-inch phono adapter to bridge the connection from computer to guitar, bass, or mic with 1/4-inch phono connector, or a 1/8-inch stereo mini plug to XLR connector adapter for professional mics. Many professional mics require 48-volt phantom power. These will not work plugged directly into the audio input of the computer, even with the stereo mini to XLR adapter cable.

Once you've got an adapter, simply connect the 1/8-inch mini plug end to your computer's audio input port and the other end to your instrument or microphone. From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, click Sound, click the Input tab, and make sure that the audio Line In is the selected input device.

To use your computer's audio input port as a sound input, select it in the Sound Input pane of System Preferences

Connect a USB musical keyboard
If you have a musical USB keyboard or controller, you can easily connect it to your Mac and set it up for use. If you have a MIDI keyboard, you'll need an audio interface that contains a MIDI In and Out port. See "Attaching an Audio Interface" above.

Simply install the third-party device driver for your keyboard if needed, restart your computer if prompted and then connect the keyboard to a USB port on your Mac. From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, click Sound, click the Input tab, and select your keyboard controller in the list to make it the sound input source.
