so the other day i recieved a jack adapter so that my RØDE videomic pro fits into my Canon EOS 500d but when i record with the microphone plugged in nothing happens, it still uses the build in microphone. What can i do to fix this?

What do you mean by "jack adapter"? What kid of plug does your microphone have and to which kind of plug does it adapt? The 500D does not have a microphone connection.

It appears that the Op plugged his external mike into the remote socket. This is why you should READ your camera manual.
