How to Convert Cassette Tapes to CD for Mac (9 Steps)

Download 'Audacity.' This is a free audio editing program made for Mac computers. A link to the download page is available in 'Resources.'
Connect the RCA to 3.5 mm headphones jack into the microphone port on the Mac. This adapter has a single end that looks exactly like the end on a pair of headphones. The other end of the adapter has a red and white port used to connect RCA cables.
Plug the red and white RCA cables into the Audio Out ports on the back of a tape deck. This is typically where the speakers are connected. Connect the other end of the RCA cables to the RCA ports on the 3.5 mm headphones adapter.
Launch the Audacity program. There is an icon on your desktop for it.
Click the 'Default Input Source' setting. This brings up a list of the devices connected to the Mac. It is currently set to the default microphone connected internally to your Mac. Change this to 'Line In.'
Click the 'System Preferences' icon on your dock (it looks like clock gears) and select 'Sound.' Things brings up a small options window. Select the 'Input' tab and click on 'Line In.' Close out the System Preferences and return to Audacity.
Put the tape into the tape player and press the 'Play' button. At the same time click the 'Record' button on Audacity. This begins the recording process. Click 'Stop' at the end of the first song. Select 'File' followed by 'Export as MP3.' This brings up a save window. Title the file and select a location to save to.
Repeat the recording process for all tracks on your cassette tape.
Launch iTunes and click 'File,' then 'New Playlist.' Title the playlist, then click and drag the files you created from the tape into the program. Insert a blank CD into the Mac and click 'Burn.' The songs are now placed onto the music CD.

How to Connect a Mac Computer to a TV

Determine the type of video connection that you will need to make between your Mac and your television. Look at the available ports on both devices to figure out what kind of wire you will need. Most modern analog televisions include a VGA port, and high definition sets generally have at least one HDMI and/or DVI port. Your Mac will likely include a VGA, a DVI/mini-DVI, and/or an HDMI port.
Decide if you want your Mac to output audio to the television. If not, your Mac will still play sound through its built-in speakers while it is hooked up to your television. However, some setups are better served with external audio output.
Connect the Mac to the television with both of your wires, starting with the video wire.
Set your television to the input to which you connected the Mac. For example, if you connected it to the HDMI port, switch the television screen to the HDMI input. Your Mac should recognize the television as a new display and begin outputting audio and video to it immediately. If it doesn't, open System Preferences (Apple > System Preferences...), click 'Displays,' and then click 'Detect Displays.'
Use OSX to set up the Mac's output mode. Go into the 'Displays' panel using the process in step 3 and click the 'Arrangement' tab. You should see two boxes in the middle of the window; a large blue box with a gray strip on top and a smaller blue box attached to it. By default, the large box with the gray strip represents your main screen (in this case, your Mac's display), while the smaller box represents your television. You can move these boxes around to switch the orientation of your screens as well as choose which screen will act as the 'main' display (the one with the menu bar on it). You can also check 'Mirror Displays' in the bottom left corner, which will make both screens show the same thing.
