Can I mute incoming calls and still use as a voice recorder

I need to take notes during meetings and would like to use an iphone as a voice recorder as a back up as well as taking written minutes. Can I put the iphone into a silent mode so that the meeting is not disturbed if I get a call or SMS but still be able to use the voice recorder? I would like to be able to press record at the start of the meeting and just leave it running for the duration.
Also, if I fully charge the battery before, will the iphone keep recording for 1.5 hours?
And.. what is the best voice recording app for meetings and lectures/talks?

Hey
It sounds like you're looking for airplane mode, which disables the wireless features of your iPhone while still allowing you to use other applications. You can read more about it here:
iOS: Understanding airplane mode

Also, the iPhone comes with an application called Voice Memos that lets you use iPhone as a portable recording device. You can read more about it on Page 105 of the iPhone user guide here:

  • IPhone 4 Can't receive incoming calls and sms after 3G has been activated

    I can't receive incoming calls and sms on my iPhone 4 after the 3G connection has been activated and used actively by me. Outgoing calls and messages do work and as long as I use the Wi-Fi connection everything's fine but the problem appears after switching to 3G. Any help? Thx in advance!  

    I think the next step is to do a reset by holding the sleep and home buttons down at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  If you haven't done this before, keep holding the buttons when the turn off slider appears.  The screen will go black and after what seems like an eternity, actually several seconds, the Apple logo will appear.  When the logo appears, release the buttons.

  • Fast busy signal with incoming calls and unable to connect to voice mail

    We are using CISCO 2821. The system started to have problem connecting to voice mailbox (when dialing internally to the VM extension) and it used to take a reboot to bring it back. Now it will not connect to voice mail (gets fast busy signal), plus incoming calls get a fast busy signal after the first ring tone. To make it worse, the Call Manager Express web page does not load. Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem? Thanks!

    Called ATT...they verified the problem and said it was an intermittent signal problem....
    only issue is I have to keep the phone off to make sure I received voicemails....
    Definitely NOT an iPhone problem, but an ATT problem.

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

  • My husband has a iphone, now i have one to. We want to work with the same calendar, but i want to play in the game center with my own name... how can i do that? and still use the same calendar

    My husband has a iphone 4 8Gb, now i have one to. We want to manage our calendar with icloud. We use the apple id that my husband made, but i want to play in the game center with my one name and games. How can i do that?

    Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

    So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
    Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

  • Iphone 5s cannot call out any calls, but still can receive incoming calls and sms

    Hi
    anyone experiencing this problem? After buying iphone 5s less than 2 months which I never did in the past, I could no longer make any phone calls out, yet i still can receive incoming calls and data.
    Could someone kindly assist in this? 

    Contact your carrier. Phone functions are a carrier responsibility. Have them check your account. Are you seeing any error messages?

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?

    Hi,
    first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
    I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them -  the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html  and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

  • Can I stream a movie from my Macbook to my Apple TV on one display, and still use my Macbook for other things?

    I have a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV. What I'd like to do is stream a movie from my CinemaNow Account to my television by using my Apple TV and my Macbook. I know that I can do this my using the mirroring feature, however then I can no longer use my Macbook for anything else because my TV will only display what is on the screen of my Macbook. Now with this is mind, what then is the point of having multiple displays through the use of my Apple TV, if only one display can be used at a time unless they both show the same image? Or is there a way for me to be able to stream the movie to my TV and still use my Macbook for other purposes (multi-tasking)? 

    To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
    Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
    In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

  • HT5922 Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Hi frogjt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Great question! You can absolutely do this in OS X 10.9. The attached article explains how the process of using AirPlay with Apple TV to create a second display. Also, towards the bottom of the article there are instructions on how to set your Displays preferences on the computer to make sure the TV and MacBook Pro displays are set up the way you want them to be.

  • Can I keep photos on external hard drive and still use iPhoto?

    I have virtually no space left on my eMac's 80GB hard drive. For a long time, I have kept my sizable iTunes library on an external hard drive connected to the eMac. It takes a bit of extra time to open up the iTunes library and to upload music from newly purchased CDs, but generally the external hard drive and eMac perform well together. My question is: Can I do the same with my photos (put them on the external hard drive) and still use iPhoto to access them and edit them? I have checked some of the Apple knowledge base documents, and there seem to be warnings against this. I am currently using iPhoto 6.0.6. I have purchased iPhoto 7.0 (with iLife '08) but haven't put the new software on the computer because there is not enough space. I would like to straighten out this space problem and get the benefits of the new software. (I have backed up quite a few of the photos onto CDs, but I like to have them handy--therefore on the eMac or on a hard drive connected to the eMac.) Thanks ahead to anyone with some good ideas on this topic.

    Yes it is, but you cannot access the at the same time as iPhoto can only open one library at a time.
    So, a solution might be to have the entire library on the external, and to carry the smaller subset on the laptop.
    To do this, follow the instructions above to move the library, but instead of deleting the library on the laptop (in the final step), put the pics from the earlier years into the iPhoto trash and empty it. (iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash. Hint: Don't so them all at one go! Better a few a a time.)
    Now you have the full library on the external (and if you want to access the full library, use that) and the 07 & 08 years on your laptop.
    To switch between libraries, simply hold down the option (or alt) key when launching.
    As you add photos to the Library you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move pics and albums /events between libraries, and so keep them up-to-date with each other.
    Please note this is the only way to sync the libraries, there is no app that can do this automatically.

  • HT201343 can you mirror say desktop 2 and still use your mac on desktop 1 with the movie playing on the tv?

    I'm interested in Apple TV for the mirroring feature through AirPlay, but will only purchase if I can still use my mac as normal whilst i'm watching what is being mirrored on the tv. Is this possible in any way? like possibly having the movie playing on desktop 2 and mirroring that and still use the mac with the other desktops to browse the internet etc?

    No, AirParrot isn't a solution for dexta,
    AirParrot gives mirroring function to older computer that are unsupported by the Apple's mirrorring function.  Dexta is looking to extend is display which isn't a feature of AirParrot.
    AppleTV will only gives you direct access to some web content using the builtin features like YouTube, Netflix, etc.  If you are looking for unsupported access to other website without using mirroring, then the AppleTV isn't the best hardware to answer your need.
