Audio recording with new iPod

Looking at the specs for the "enhanced" fifth-generation iPod, I see no "voice memos" in the "extras" index. Does this mean this new edition of iPod no longer has the ability to record audio with an external mic?
iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Is it at all possible to voice record with the new ipod?
Yes, it's possible. The roadblock at the current moment is that no recording accessories have been developed and released yet.
This thread has a lengthy discussion on voice recording:

  • Audio recording with Satellite L300

    I have a USB audio interface that I want to use for audio recording with the webcam and other software. I can monitor sound via USB interface but can't record.
    In the CAS for webcam my USB is not listed as a device, so I can't select it, only the built in realtek mic.
    Any help much appreciated!!

    Hi Akuma, hey thanks for replying. sorry I never checked back cos I thought my post had disappeared when I first tried to sort this problem out. I have tried (and am able to) select my Tascam US 122l interface in the control panel sound and audio devices , I've got the latest drivers and firmware downloaded. Ntrack studio, cubase, Kristal audio, all allow me to select my usb interface, for a few moments will record, always within 30 secs of recording or play back it makes a few squeeks and pops the craps out and won't work at all until the usb interface is unplugged and re plugged in. I've fiddled with all possible latency and buffering options where available as well, no joy! Same problem.
    My usb interface worked beautifully with Kristal Audio downloaded onto my wife's slower, older pc with less memory also using vista, so the problem seems to be with the L300.
    Thanks again Akuma, and thanks in advance if anyone can help with this problem that's seriously doing my head in!

  • Why earphone without mic with new iPod Touch 4g?

    I am die-hard fan of Apple products. Have recently bought iPod Touch 4th Gen. But failed to understand why did Apple ship micless-earphones with new iPod Touch?
    iPod Touch 3rd Gen used to have earphone with mic and remote buttons.
    I know, new iTouch has inbuilt mic, but since mic & volume controls are missing on earphones, I can't talk wih my handsfree! just because the mic is on iTouch panel.
    Disappointed!!
    Any chances for Apple to get this earphone replaced for new iPod Touch owner?

    You can purchase the headphones with mic here:

  • Creative Smart Recorder with new driver

    'Creative Smart Recorder with new driver< I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2v purchased and installed in Oct, 2005. I use the Smart Recorder a lot and all was fine until two weeks ago when I downloaded and installed new driver software from Creative. All of the rest of the software works fine (no change or improvement in the operation in the card, which is why I went for the new driver), but?now when I try to start the ?Smart Recorder I get a Windows message "Creative Smart Recofder has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."? It asks if I want to Send Error Report. As far as I can tell Smart Recorder never opened. Other than putting my computer back into the what it was two weeks ago is there anything that I can do? I'm not sure that the previous driver, etc. is still there. Thank you.

    + Need to add something. I thought that if a program loaded I was okay. But, no. The media studio will load but is no longer connected, I mean nothing will record, not from the internet or the CD player. No connection. Whatever Creative gave me, it is not friendly with older versions of the software.

  • Altec InMotion . . . will it work with newer iPods?

    Got my iPod stolen. I had the old 60 or 80 gig monochrome screen white iPods. try to find them on eBay but it shows every iPod ever made and don't know how to specify the one I have.
    Getting a new one, apart from being unnecessary, is all my peripherals (inMotion speakers and iTalk) and i don't know if they will work with newer iPods.
    On inMotion since that's what I use the most, although the size of the "hole" is big like the older iPods the actual connector seems like it might just fit into the newer iPods. Online Altec says it fits various iPods but I have no way of knowing if it's my same unit they're referring to or a new one.
    Also, if anyone knows how you identify that earlier iPod (bought in 03-04) for eBay searches, I've gone through pages and haven't found a single one like mine.
    thanks

    P.S. It had the track wheel on the bottom and it was either 60 or 80 gigs. Bought in Fall 2004.
    thanks

  • RECORDING  with 5g ipod

    Has anyone been able to record with the new ipod? Is there anything out there to record with? I want to use it to record rehearsals and gigs.

    I believe that Griffin Technology's iFM has recording capability and supports the 5G iPod.
    I have yet to purchase or test this product, however.

  • Pb with new Ipod software

    Since I downloaded the latest update of the Ipod software, It is not recognized by my computer anymore... The windows explorer & itunes can't find it.
    I tried to reinstall it with the Ipod updater but it fails everytime:
    either it says there is no ipod connected,
    or it says it is used by another application(!!)
    Does anybody know how I could repair that or return to the older ipod software version??
    Thanks!

    FOR WINDOWS:
    Connect ipod if tunes opens close it LEAVE IPOD HOOKED UP ! control alt delete in processes RIGHT CLICK AND END ipodservice.exe,then open start and click run and put this in "c:\PROGRAM FILES\iPOD\BIN\iPODSERVICE.EXE" /service
    Leaving the ipod HOOKED UP NOW REBOOT LEAVE IPOD HOOKED UP may take a few minuets be patient...when rebooting is done itunes should open and recognize your ipod ...This worked for my new 80gig ipod just purchased 2 days ago and pluged in ipod it formatted to windows ok but itunes would not update or recognize ...This info is from Jeremy in ohio tech support for apple he is good (seems to know what he is talking about ), first 2 tech's i talked to were useless . Now ipod is auto updated very happy auto dnloaded music to new ipod (6,787) songs and all is ok ...This is not a fix for scratchy audio this is making ipod able to read your ipod by shutting off ipod service then rebulding it (restarting ) and worked fine for me ...If not sure go ahead and call tech support on this fix for updating ....Thanks all Good luck..

  • How do I use iTunes with new iPod

    I have my own video iPod, and use iTunes without a problem.
    However, I bought a refurbished iPod for a relative, and am now trying to download music onto this new iPod. When I go into my iTunes with the new iPod connected to my computer, I can't get the new iPod to show up on the task bar -- so I can't download music onto it.
    Do I have to create a separate account for this new iPod, or somehow download iTunes again for this new iPod in order to get music onto it???
    Thanks.

    Using a second iPod is normally just a question of connecting it to your computer choosing how you want to update it and using your existing iTunes. You don't need a separate Windows account unless two users want to use the one computer and maintain separate libraries. You don't need two instances of iTunes for separate accounts. Have you had look at either of these troubleshooting pages?

  • Multiple issues with new IPod Nano+ ITunes 7

    I am a formerly happy and loyal Apple user, but have recently become disenchanted due to what I see as bad faith actions.
    I bought a new Ipod nano for my wife and brought it home to set up. When I plugged it in, it told me that I needed ITunes 7. Fair enough, I go up to download ITunes 7, only to be told that it won't work with OS 10.2.8 and that I need 10.3.9. There is nothing on the IPod packaging that indicates that I can only use ITunes 7. So as far as I can tell, Apple wants me to pay another $129 to buy a new OS, so that I can use my new ipod. It doesn't give me the option to use it with my existing setup. Is there a workaround so that I can use my ipod with my existing OS?
    I started transferring my music collection to a PC to see if I could make it work there, since ITunes 7 works with Windows XP, which I have. This creates a new problem, since I can't seem to get the DRM protected music I bought on my Mac through ITunes to work on the PC. Can't get it to load onto the IPod, which is my whole intent in transferring it. My solution now is to not buy anything more from Itunes, since it will be a pain to transfer it when I change computers. I am not going to burn CDs for 400 songs, just to load them onto another computer. It seems like there are solutions on the web that can help you strip the DRM protection from songs, so I plan on using those to be able to listen to the music that I paid for.
    Sor far, I have spent multiple hours trying to make things work. I have no interest in anything other than being able to listen to my music on our Ipods. While I understand the necessity to protect copyrights and limit illicit sharing, Apple has gotten a little too manipulative of a loyal customer base. Apple can count me in the formerly happy, now alienated group.

    I just looked at one of the boxes for the new nano, and it has this on the back:

  • Problems with new iPOD shuffle

    Just got a new iPOD shuffle, and can't get it to work. i followed all the troubleshooting directions (worked on it for about 2 hours, twice)with the same problems. Updated the software version, restored the settings, no help. I copied all my CD with no problem, and the PC plays them perfectly in iTunes. Have the follwing errors. I think this is just a bad unit:
    1. "Cannot read or write to disk"
    2. "Unit could not be restored. Unknown error occurred" (1418).
    3. "Unit could not be restored. Unknown error occurred".

    Try to restore it with Apple's restore software:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305204
    They recommend using this if itunes cannot restore the ipod.
    Another ideas I ran across when solving an error (Windows cannot load installer for volume. Contact your hardware vendor) I was getting, in case the above didn't work:
    When you plug the device in have my computer open. When you see the device (F:?) right click on it and do a quick format. That apparently cleared up a lot of user's problems.
    If itunes opens before you do this it won't work or will disappear from my computer.
    If this doesn't work, did you get any error warnings when you plugged it in that could be causing it?

  • ITunes not working with new iPod

    After recently getting a new iPod, I cant get it to work.
    The problem is no tin the iPod, Im sure of that. The problem occurs with any iPod on the system.
    The problem is that when the iPod is plugged in, it recognizes it, but not as an iPod. At first we thought it was because of other USB devices on the computer, and removed them. One of the devices was an external hard drive, which has all of my iTunes music on it. We moved the external drive to a different networked computer, and made it a network folder. That way we can access all of our iTunes music from a different computer.
    That works very well...All of our music can play fine, but the iPod is still not recognized. It says that the firmware on the iPod is corrupt, and asks if we want to restore it. Click yes, and we get error 1418.
    How do we fix this?

    hmmmmm. you're not getting the classical symptoms of the following issue. but since the PC is networked to other drives, we'd better check on the possibility from the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Problems with new ipod touch gen3

    Hi,
    I just got a new ipod touch and i have problems connecting it with my WRT54GX ver 2 wirelles router. It shows that is connected but when i check the IP it has the default 169.254.202.45  one which means that the AP did not assign an IP. I tried with static IP and although in the log it shows outgoing communication from that IP the ipod does not connect to the internet.
    A PC and a blackberry are working fine with this AP and the ipod has worked fine in my house (RUKOUS AP) and in two cofeeshops.
    Anyone else having a similar problem?
    Thanks
    John

    thanks for the suggestion but it did not work.
    The iPod came up asking for the password (WEP key) and i entered it. It showed connected with the router but Safari does not work and when i check the DHCP entries in see the following
    IP: 169.254.202.45
    Sub: 255.255.0.0
    This means that the connection was made but the router DHCP server did not assign an IP address to the iPod.
    This exact problem i have encoutered so far in my office, a cofeeshop and a car dealership. In all cases the wirelles was based on an older linksys router and except in the case of my office the other two were unsecured networks.
    I believe it has something to do with the firmware on those linksys routers causing a problem specificaly to iPods and i would guess iPhones too since they have the same OS.
    I'm open to any suggestions but i've tried all the ones posted in this and other forums so far with no luck.
    When i assign a static IP, the iPod again connects, the router log indicates outgoing traffic from that IP but there is no incomming traffic.

  • Serious trouble with new iPod - maybe you can help?

    Please help if you can. 15 hours into troubleshooting this and I am desperate!!!
    I just purchased a new 5th-gen, 60GB ipod. I already have a 1st gen, 10GB iPod. My old iPod is presently working great with no problems.
    The new iPod, however, is not being recognized by my computer or by iTunes. And when I try to plug it in, iTunes freaks. It will stop playing music and freeze on me.
    Here is what happened:
    1. I knew I had the latest iTunes & iPod software on my computer, so rather than running the CD that came with the iPod, I just plugged in the iPod.
    2. When I did so, the computer recognized it as a new device and attempted to (I assume - not sure) install a driver for a while. This went on for about an hour, something seemed wrong, so I disconnected the iPod.
    3. At this point, connecting it always has the same behavior. It flashes "don't disconnect". ITunes freezes. Windows Explorer does not recognize or acknowledge its existence.
    Here is what I have tried to do:
    1. I first tried installing from the CD. This installed an older version of iTunes on my computer. This did not help matters and stopped my current iPod from working.
    2. I troubleshooted this and managed to fix my old iPod by uninstalled all iTunes and iPod versions from my computer and reinstalling all of the latest bits.
    3. I have doublechecked my USB ports to ensure they are USB 2.0.
    4. I have tried restarting my iPod in file mode to see if the computer will recognize it then. No dice.
    5. I have tried an iPod reboot, obviously.
    6. I have restarted my computer innumerable times.
    My gut says this is a driver issue, but I'm not remotely qualified to troubleshoot that. Can anyone help?
    gateway   Windows XP  

    Hey, I've got a few questions for you. 1. What kind of computer are you using? (ie: laptop, desktop, whatever else there is..) 2. Have you ever had the 5th Gen. working on you're computer? 3. Have you tried you're 5th Gen. on another computer which, in the past, has detected an iPod?
    Done with questions for now I believe. Here's my story. My girlfriend got her iPod (5th Gen.) in April and right when she got it, she hurried over to my house because she's "technologically incompetant". Booted up my Alienware (now an artifact after being purchased new around 1998-2000) and installed all the gadgets just like the instructions said. After finishing all that, I slapped the iPod into a USB2.0 port and WindowsXP detected, found, and installed the driver for the iPod. I used iTunes to put about 500MB's of songs on there then sent her off with her new WORKING (at the moment) iPod. A few weeks later, I guess when she killed the battery, she tells me that her iPod isnt working.
    Long story short...
    She's using a brand new Dell Inspiron [some number and letters here] laptop computer with WindowsXP.
    I did everything exactly as you had described in your first post. Few things are different, her computer has never detected the iPod, WindowsXP never found or installed a driver. When her iPod is plugged into her computer, the iPod either brings up a little battry with a lightening bolt (like it's charging) or brings up the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. After a few hours of leaving it like that and I unplug the iPod, it hastn't gained any charge. I checked to make sure everything, ie: plug and play, were all working correctly and all that good stuff; however, one thing phases me. I took her iPod back to my house and tried it on the computer that had the player working before. After a minute of plugging it in, it was detected and I could add or remove songs using iTunes, in other words: IT WAS WORKING.
    I would like to see some kind of solution to our problem (which I believe to be the same) so that I don't have to drive an hour away to the only iPod (Mac) store around to replace it (luckily it is still on the warranty).
    If you make any progress, please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Audio problem with 2gen ipod touch

    Recently I've been having issues with my second generation Ipod Touch and I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. The problem is a bit strange, so please bear with me as I try to explain it.
    As I said, I have a second generation 8GB Ipod Touch that hasn't been too problematic until now. Recently it has been having major audio issues. I was listening to it with my headphones one day when the audio cut out. I thought I had paused the track by accident, but according to the screen, the audio was still playing, however the volume bar had vanished as though no headphones were connected at all. I popped the headphones out and then in again; it worked for a few moments before the problem happened again. I had thought it was just a problem with my headphones until it happened again with a different set and then the audio jack for my car stereo. All the cords are fully pushed in, I checked that problem immediately. It will randomly happen where the audio will cut out and the volume bar will vanish, like it would with nothing connected to it.
    Another issue that I noticed is with my external speakers. For whatever reason they are no longer working, just like the headphones, the volume bar is gone and will not return no matter if the music is playing/paused or if I attempt to adjust it with the buttons on the side.
    I have never had a real issue with this Ipod and I'd love to know if there's an explanation or if I should just attempt to take it into the Apple Store and see what they can make of it.
    Thanks in advance, feel free to ask any questions and I apologize if the explanation was rubbish.

    I've seen that kind of issue when there's a problem with the dock connector.  It's somehow detecting something plugged into the bottom.  You should try to make sure there's nothing stuck in or around the dock connector such as lint or some thing else.
    Also make sure you backup and restore your ipod to make sure you take care of any software issues that may be causing this to occur.
    Lastly if it still happens, you should definitely take it in for service.
