I am using the Yamaha MW10c mixer with a Shure BETA 58A mic. Last week I could record into the my Mac (Garageband) just fine but it has since stopped detecting the mic. When I plug in the mixer to the Mac, it is detected but the mic has a very low sound and the Garageband automatic level control bar has been disabled - but when I was recording last week, I could change the recording volume on this bar instead of using my mixer controls. Now the mixer controls have no effect and the Garageband Automatic level controls are stuck on zero. The mixer is definitely turned on with gain and volume controls right up so I can't understand the problem. Any suggestions would be great.

Watch your impedance, when you add speakers the impedance will change. example 8 ohm speaker placed in parallel with another 8 ohm speaker the impedance is 4 ohms, placed in series the it is 16 ohm Me I would place in parallel this mixer should handle 3 ohms
The headline has two different mics listed... a Shure 87a and a Beta 98/S... not sure which you really have... Normally leaving the mic in the car should NOT have affeected it, although you haven't told us the environment such as humid or immersed in water, etc. On the chance it may have had condensation I would put it over a hot-air register for a few days to insure there is no residual condensation .. DO NOT place in an oven to try to speed this up. If there is condensation on the diaphram it needs to evaporate and vent slowly. Also you can look for corrosion on the plug contacts.
Make sure that in the control panel of Windows, "Sounds and Devices" under the "voice and recording" tab, the Yamaha mixer is shown as the device for both voice recording and playback.
if you have leopard or snow leopard, it is probably osx. i know for a fact that leopard has issues with usb recording devices, i dont know about snow leopard, tho.
