I have beats with a built in mic and I cannot get garage band to record any vocals. I have tried going to preferences and changing the audio input to built in input but still no luck. I even went back and tried to record with just the built in mic on my mac book and it still didn't work. I tested my mic using the text dictation, so I know my mic is working just fine. Anyone have a solution?

What happens when you try to record vocals? Does thered "Record" button not react, or does the recording vanish, after you are done?
I the vocal recording is deleted as sson as you stop, make sre you have a real instrument track selected, when you are recording and not a software instrument track.

When I push record it just records silence. I read that there should be bars on the track that let you know when it is picking up any sound, and they are not showing that any sound is being received. I am not recording any instruments, just vocals.

Have you checked the system Preferences Audio pane? Is the input level set to a high value, and do you see any signal there?
If you have "Ambient Noise reduction" enabled, turn it off for a test.
Just checked and I am recieving a signal there. My built in mic on my macbook pro randomly started working, but I cannot get my mic on my headphones to work.
And the settings in the Inspector for the selected audio track? How is the recording level set there?
its all the way up.
And have you checked in the the "Audio Midi Setup" utility? In the "Applications" folder "Utilities" > "Audio Midi Setup".
Sometimes the format is set to the wrong frequency - GarageBand can only work with 44100 Hz:
