Can I record audio on an iPad direct from a mac via line out

I use the noteability app alot, recording audio at a live lecture works great. However, due to a bug you can not add an audio file directly into your notes (at the moment), you must record them.
I have a bunch of podcasts that I would like to add to my notes. I know I could play them from my mac and record audio through the ipads mic but what I hoped to do was connect a male to male cable between the line out of my mac into my ipad, playing the audio without interferance. This didn't work
Does anyone know if there is a similar way to do this or something I could have done wrong.
Thanks

yeah - you can do it, but you need an adapter. The earphone jack on a pad is a special jack with stereo headphone uot put and a seperate mic in channel. The adapters i have seen are usually built to accomodate a standard 1/4 in - into the pad, like the one in the attached link. In theory, you could use the lineout on the mac, to a 1/4 in male - then into this adapter to get it back into the pad. Somebody probably makes the cable you need with the 1/4 shift, but I couldn't find one.
Options - in you notes, insted of copying the file, put a link to the podcast

Can I record audio notes from iphone to cd

Can I record audio notes to cd from my iPhone?

Not direct from the iPhone, but audio notes can be synced with iTunes on your computer. You can burn your iPhone audio notes to a CD from your iTunes library on your computer as with any other music files in your iTunes library.

Can you record audio in mainstage?

Yes. There's a toolbar button and there's an item in the Action menu. It will record the audio that coming out of the output pair you set in the Audio tab in the preferences. You can set a recording path and a file type in the prefs too.

Welcome to Apple Communities
You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers

Can't record Audio while recording an Audio Instrument?

Okay, so I never expected this to be a problem. I've just recently begun recording multiple tracks at the same time (all audio-only until this point). I'm sure there's a really simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it.
Today I wanted to record a few strums on my guitar and then play a few chords on the keyboard, going back and forth. I armed the track for the guitar (it will record by itself, by the way) and then armed the track for the keyboard (which will also record by itself). I hit record, did my thing, and the audio for the guitar just didn't record. All I had was MIDI.
Both tracks appeared armed for recording.
I had the Audio Instrument track currently selected, so I figured maybe it got priority. If I selected the Audio track though, the Audio Instrument track was no longer considered armed.
Is this just something I can't do? Or maybe there's an option I can change for this in Preferences or something?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. I'm 100% certain that I'm getting the signal from the guitar. The levels change as I strum both before and during recording.
-If I have the guitar's track both selected and armed, it will record.
-If I have the guitar track armed with a different audio track selected, it will record.
-If I have the guitar track armed with an Audio Instrument track selected, only the Audio Instrument records.
-I cannot arm both the guitar track and an Audio Instrument track with the guitar track selected, because as soon as I select the guitar track, the Audio Instrument track(s) become unarmed.
This is not a matter of me getting no sound out of the recording- there is simply no recording. (And during recording, the little dialog box doesn't pop up to tell me that audio is recording.)
It does seem simple enough, and yet it doesn't work. I can record multiple audio tracks, but for some reason once I throw a MIDI track into the mix I can't record audio simultaneously.
I have no reason to believe this is anything other than Logic as I can record both separately (without altering the configuration of how I have things plugged into my computer at all). I just can't seem to do them together.
Surely Logic can be used to record something like... MIDI keyboard and vocals simultaneously, right? This has to be a feature.
If you don't quite get what my problem is, open Logic and test out the bullet points at the top of this message. That should help you understand.

This is OK because the Conexant sound chip does not support other sources
Ive got a unit with Realtek sound chips and with Conexant sound chip.
The Realtek support the recording from other sources but Conexant doesnt.

Can i rent movies to my ipad directly

Can I rent movies to my Ipad directly, or do I need to rent through my computer and transfer to my ipad??

Sure. I do it regularly. There is one minor difference...
If you download to the computer, you get to choose which IOS device you will use to watch it. If you download directly to your IOS device (iPad), you've already made your choice.

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."
