On the Excel menu, click Preferences. Under Authoring, click View. Under Window options, uncheck the Show zero values box. But I do not have 'Authoring' option! Why do I not have it? How do I hide unnecessary zeros? I am using Macbook Air Mojave fully up-to-date. I am also using MS Excel 365 Home subscription fully updated. It depends on what you are trying do do with the spreadsheet but putting (single quote) in-front of the leading zero will preserve it with the conversion from CSV to xls format. As @Alex says converting the cells to text will work, and inserting the single quote at the start of the cell just converts it to text. Excel automatically applies the general or number format to any number you enter or paste into a worksheet. These formats automatically remove leading zeros from numbers. If you want to keep leading zeros, you must create a custom number format. For more information about how to keep leading zeros, see Keep leading zeros. The Mac mini's input is a line-level input, whereas the mic line on most analog headsets needs a mic-level input (to power the mic). The mini isn't giving the mic any power, so it's not going to work. You need something to pull the level of that mic line up to what's known as 'line level.' A lot of people use the iMic, others use audio mixers that will provide power to the mic (and other inputs) while providing a line-level output for the mini to accept. Alternatively, you can pick up an inexpensive USB headset. Logitech and Plantronics both make very affordable USB-based solutions. Hope this helps. 'Silly' Fix Please excuse the title, but I didn't know what else to call it. I just thought that I'd share with you and the rest of the online community how I fixed my problem with the microphone issue with the Mac mini. Open autocad recovery manager autocad for mac. I realize it's been two years since anyone has posted anything in this forum on this particular topic, but allow me to share my input. Going from other tips I had attained from this article, I came to the realization that, like everything else with Macs, many of their ports are 'passive' ports and not what I'd call 'fully' operational. What I mean by that is, I've seen devices in the past that would not work when connected to the Mac, in certain places or instances. For example, Apple's keyboard has two USB ports when one can utilize the keyboard as an additonal 2-port hub for additional USB devices. But, I found out that these ports in the keyboard aren't energized by themselves. The keyboard takes the power of one port and switches it into two ports AND powers the keyboard. The late 2014 model Mac mini 3.0 GHz Desktop Computer from Apple is a compact form factor desktop solution for consumers who are dedicated to the look and feel of Apple brand mini computers. The small square desktops contain a 3.0 GHz Intel Core i7 dual core Haswell processor, 8GB of 1600 MHz LPDDR3 RAM and a 1TB 5400 rpm hard drive. The main draw for me was the Mac mini’s size. We don’t have a lot of desk space in our home office so it’s important that our server was small and slim, just like the Mac mini. On the first try, I managed to connect the Mac mini to our widescreen VGA monitor through a Thunderbolt to mini Display Port connector. In essence, USB devices that need a higher power current in order to work, will give you a 'USB low power notice' from Mac OS X. The same thing can be said about the addition of a firewire hub, and in THIS specific case; the MICROPHONE port. For some odd reason, one needs to connect a self-powered microphone to the Mac in order for it to work. Here's what I did: I had a personal tape recorder from when I was a kid (about 20 years ago.) It's the kind that kids like to use to record their voices onto a cassette tape. I pondered the thought that since this tape recorder uses its own power supply, maybe I could use a headphone extension cable, couple into the back of the Mac mini on one end, and the other end plug into the port of the tape recorder marked 'monitor.' This is why it made sense to me that the iMic device worked. It's powered by USB, and uses the USB power to amplify the power to the microphone, causing the microphone to work, like it's supposed to in the first place. It seemed so ridiculous, but I was getting desperate to utilize the ability to have a microphone with my Mac mini. It turns out: IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not kidding. Here's what one must do for this silly method to work: 1. Find a tape recorder that has a built-in microphone, or attach a microphone to the tape recorder's microphone port. Use a (male-male) headphone extension cable to connect the tape recorder and the Mac mini together. One end goes into the back of the Mac mini's microphone port, the other end goes into the port of the tape recorder marked 'monitor'. (not 'Mic'; that's for an external microphone to attach to the tape recorder, only.) 3. Make sure the tape recorder is plugged in or has batteries to power it, independently. If you're ready to start talking, set the tape recorder to 'RECORD' by pressing the 'RECORD' button.
