Audio line in while recording with ipod touch

Looking at buying a 5th Gen touch to record local basketball games.  Need the ability to record the audio live broadcast into my live video of the game so I am wondering if I can use the video camera of the touch and record a seperate audio track with the video being recorded with a line in option.  I have used a sd camcorder with a line in capability playing the local radio station audio as I record but dont know it this can be done with a ipod touch.  I could use the camera app or imovie app to record but not sure if separate audio track is possible with them or will it just record from the mic of the ipod touch?

You can connect a mic to the iPod via the headphone jack and that mic will be used by the video app you use for the video camera on the iPod. I do not remember if the built-in mic gets cut off when yo do that so you may have to cover the mic hole on the iPod.

  • What size is a video file recorded with ipod touch 4g

    just would like to know about what size would a one minute video recorded with the touch be, the same for a picture taken with it.  so i have an idea of which size ipod i should get.  of course, i'd like the 64gb, but right now i have a 32gb 1st gen touch loaded with 650 songs, 10 movies, photos and apps. it still has 18gb available.

    Thanks, it would be safe to guess that a picture wouldn't be more than 3 MB.  So, I would think that for what I'll be using an iPod, another 32gb should be enough as long as I download the files to a computer periodically.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

    I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

    Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
    If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
    Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!

  • I am using new laptop with ipod touch and have downloaded i.tunes.  in the past i.tunes showed all the tracks on my old i.pod.  I can't seem to find the i.touch library to change or delete music. What am I not doing?

    I am using a new laptop, windows 7, with ipod touch, hoping to listen to, whilst on line, edit and add music to my ipod library.  I have downloaded i.tunes but it does not show my library.  I know I have repeats to delete too but cant see anything, It does recognise that there is a body of music with the indication bar at the bottom., but does not list anything.  Help

    I attempted to back up my old iPod, but in File - Library - back up to disk, it's asking for 15 disks!  I can't just back up to the PC/ext HDD that I can see.
    That backing up your iTunes library, not your iPod. You can backup up your library by:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    First you have to get Itunes to see the iPod. See the following. Notupdating your iPod iOS has nothing to do with it.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    You can transfer iTune spurchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
    For other music yo will need a thrid-party progtam like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy

  • Help with iPod Touch restore

    My computer shut down while updating my iPod touch to iOS 4.3.2 and now I'm trying to restore my iPod with the backup but my computer doesn't have enough memory space and iTunes says the backup could not be saved on the disc (I think iTunes compresses the backup). Is there anyway I could save/extract it to my portable hard drive? Any other suggestions on how to restore the to my iPod without using 6+ GB of space? Also, what does restoring from backup restore? Thanks in advance.
    *Edit: Sorry, I'm using PC. How do you move this to Syncing your iPod touch to a PC?
    Message was edited by: otterblue

    Welcome to the discussions,
    if your PC shut down during the update, the backup created by iTunes might be damaged. Try to delete the latest backup in the list in iTunes/Preferences/Devices. If you have more than one backup listed, copy the whole backup folder to an external HD or USB drive, in case you might need the data again.
    The backup folder is located here: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You might also try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates, to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged as well due to the shut down.
    Recovery mode is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Downloaded podcast with ipod touch 2g showing like video

    Hello.
    I have ipod touch 2g. When i download audio podcast with ipod touch its showing like it is video podcast. After connecting ipod touch with PC all ok showing like audio podcast. What could be wrong? Sorry if i posted in wrong place.
    Thanks

    I already have the Radio Tiesto episode 110 on my Touch (2G), it does not show as video and when I started it running, it played as audio only, as I expect. So why yours should show as video, I've no idea. Episode 80 of the "State of Trance" is no longer showing up in iTunes, so I'm currently downloading ep81, which looks as though it is an audio file. I'll post again if I discover it's not. I already have ep77, but that's on my Classic. However, in iTunes it shows as audio.
    So, I've no idea why this should be, although as you noted, it only happens when you download directly onto the Touch. Perhaps you need to report a bug via feedback, sorry, I can't find the page to link to at the moment.
    The best workaround for now would be to subscribe in iTunes, let iTunes download them when you are there (but you can set iTunes to automatically download when you are away) and then Sync episodes.

  • TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch.  Of 5 apps, three won't sync.  Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

    I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch.  Of 5 apps, three would not sync.  I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck.  Any ideas?

    All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch.  No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing.  Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

  • No problem with iMac, MacBook Air, but no joy with iPod touch

    I switched ISP last week, and while I was able to link Mail with a MacBook Air, I hit disaster when I tried to do likewise with iPod Touch. I have my email with one ISP, but the new ISP gives me better broadband, and so I must use their SMTP. At first I had no problem as I inserted the correct Incoming and outgoing settings. Now I can't get past the first step of the new account box. That box throws up a webmail address I never had, and an Stmp I dispensed with last week. When I proceed to insert the correct settings, I get a message that my email service won't work. At my wits end with this. Can anyone help? Please.
    Pat (Dublin)

    Do the incoming and outgoing mail server settings match those of what is shown on your MacBook Air?

  • Remote on apple earphones doesn't work with iPod Touch 4G :(

    Hi I have two in-ear earphones, the Apple one and the V-Moda RRMT, the one with the remote similar to Apple's. I've heard volume control works with iPhone 3GS, and have tried both earphones in iPad and they both work. Recently I bought an iPod Touch 4 and found that the volume control of Apple works while V-Moda's doesn't. Since both earphones (presumably) uses the same tech to control the volume, my current thinking is there may just be a problem with the way I'm plugging in the V-Moda earphone. I've tried reseating it several times and I still haven't been able to resolve this issue.
    After scouring the google and the v-moda site, I still couldn't find any definitive confirmation that iPod Touch 4 doesn't support V-Moda's volume control. I'd like to know if V-Moda's volume control is compatible with iPod Touch 4 or not, and also the possible reasons why they don't work together.
    I was looking at the earphone jack earlier and I found that regular earphone jacks only have 2 bands, while earphones that connect to iOS devices have 3 bands, so I'm guessing the 3rd band is what Apple uses for all of the extra functionalities such as Mic, Play-Pause-Talk, and Volume Control. Upon further inspection I saw that the 3rd band is not wholly covered in iPod Touch 4, could it be that the input signal coming from the V-Moda remote isn't strong enough to be received by the earphone jack of iPod touch because it doesn't fully encircle the third band? Any clarification on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried turning your iPod off and back on? My son wasn't able to see the AirPlay icon until he did that. He has a 4G Touch and I have a 3G, but we still don't have AirPlay working correctly. It connects and disconnects randomly, but we are able to see the icon most of the time.

  • Will FM receiver work with iPod Touch?

    Hi there! I haven't posted for a while...
    I really want an iPod Touch, and have been doing my research online...one of the main complains that keeps coming up is that the iPod Touch doesn't have a volume button. I have a 1st gen iPod Nano, and for that I have an FM receiver (Apple brand, not some cheapo junk). If I can use that with a Touch, then there would be no problem, but the new iPod receiver box doesn't mention that it works with the Touch. If anyone has tried it and could tell me, that would be awesome.
    Just one last thing...I also read that people were having problems with the colour black on their screens, that it appeared all shimmery. Has a patch come through for that, or has it been fixed?
    Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    - No, Apple's iPod Radio Remote does not work with iPod touch. Look for compatible devices on the online Apple Store.
    - I don't think a patch can solve it, but the screen problem was only in the beginning, I don't think it's still an issue.

  • Problems with Ipod Touch

    Problems with iPod Touch.
    Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
    I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
    Thanks in advance for your quick response

    You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
    "I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
    If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.

  • Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

    In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac. 
    How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing). 
    I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal.  iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
    Any advice on how to make this super simple?
    Thanks in advance.

    My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader.  You can use the
    Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
    Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open.  If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
    Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
    Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A.  If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG.  Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
    Landscape lock.  OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button.  This will bring up a list of your running apps.  Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button.  Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation.  Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
    NOTE:  Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock.  Another reason I like Stanza.
    Wallpaper.  I think you can only change it to something else.  Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change.  Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

  • ITunes U not compatible with iPod touch 4th and 5th generation.

    I attempted to subscribe to the course, Moons An Introduction. When opening one of the course books, I get an error message stating I need an iPad to read the book. There is nothing about the course being incompatible with iPod touch. Why can't incompatibility information be included in the course description?  What a waste of my time. Please don't advise me to open the book on my computer. I don't want to read a book on my computer. That's why I got an iPod. I'm thinking about getting an iPad, but as soon as I purchase one, it will be outdated. Isn't this a ploy by apple to get people to buy iPads?  How many iTunes U courses are like this?  The most important book of the course is incompatible.
    Thanks,
    Brenda Woollard

    Thank you, lllaass.  Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information?  Who is writing the review?  It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews?  I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device? 

  • Possible bug found in Mac Os X Tiger 10.4.11 in conjuction with iPod Touch

    Dears,
    I think I've found a possible bug in Mac Os X version 10.4.11 in conjunction with iPod Touch.
    When the iPod is connected during boot, my Bluetooth hardware fails to be detected. When I restart the portable without the iPod connected, my Bluetooth hardware is recognised & activated again. It is reproduceable.
    1. Attach iPod Touch before starting the MacBook Pro
    2. Boot the Macbook
    3. Bluetooth hardware should be rendered inoperative
    Restore functionality:
    1. Detach the iPod Touch
    2. Reboot the portable
    3. Bluetooth hardware is restarted / recognised.
    Regards
    Cedric
