Trouble with Mesa Power amp

I haven't used my Mesa simulclass 2: Ninety power amp in probably two years. When I went to turn it on today, the amp turned on, but the tubes never lit up and I couldn't get a signal. .I had the amp stored in a SKB case where it was dry and cool...

Does anyone know what could be possibly wrong with it? Did the non-use of the tubes have anything to do with the problem?

Having trouble recording someone whistling

I'm tracking a guy whistling. I know . . anyway every mic position I try does not seem to eliminate or drastically reduce the "wind sound" of the whistler. I've recorded all sorts of odd ball things, but this has presented a challenge! Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have three hours to figure this out - the session starts at 9PM EDT. Thanks!

trouble with recording into computer

I am trying to start a simple set up with my computer and mic. I first bought a cheap $5 adapter to directly attach a fairly old mic to my computer and was able to record a song using Calkwalk Music Creater Pro 9. I found however that I have to blast my keyboard and vocals (until my voice is hoarse) to get a final product that is somewhat the right volume to listen to.
