If you use a regular microphone, such as a small desktop one or one built into a headset, it will not work. The mac needs a powered input source, like a line-in or powered microphone. You will need either a usb mic or a usb sound card into which you can plug the mic that the mac won't accept. These sound cards can be had for very little money, but if you are a serious audio professional, keep in mind that the input will not be as good as the microphone, but rather only as good as the digital converter inside the sound card.
