Cassette tapes into the G5 for clean up

I would like to clean up some cassette tapes and have them in my itunes library. So I am wondering how to get the tracks into the computer. Then I would use Amadeus ($30) or what you guys recommend to clean them up for better fidelity. So the cassette player has a 2 plug output. How do you input to the G5 dual, get recognition, etc., and then go from there?
Thanks folks for any tips.
There is no garage band on this OS.

Here's one way to do it:
Run a mini-jack (1/8th) cable from the headphone output on your hi-fi or cassette player to the line-in on your iMac.
Go to System Preferences -> Sound and under Input select the Line In
Now you need software to record the Cassette: there many options - including Amadeus but I suggest the Open Source (as in Free) Audacity. You can download it from here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Then record each album a side at a time. The wave-form editor makes it a cinch to edit the file into tracks. You can also ue it to clean them up. I suggest that you save as Aiff files, which are large, and if you wish you can convert them to mp3 or AAC with iTunes.

I have yet to figure out how to input a cassette tape into the new Mac's with only one impute device. the older Mac's had two , one for in and one for listening. Help

adding cassette tapes to Mac. I could do it with my older mac but not with IOS

Look at Amazon:

The iMac is basic, but will work. For an excellent audio quality with a guitar, but more expensive, have a look at the Apogee Jam: Apogee JAM Guitar Input

Importing a cassette tape into I tunes

Can I import and save a cassette tape into itunes thanks

You can't import the audio from your tape directly to iTunes you need software to digitise the audio first. One way is to connect your Cassette deck (through the Tape out sockets of your amplifier) to the audio in socket of your computer. On the computer you'll need audio editing software to capture and edit the resulting long file into individual tracks that can be added to the iTunes Library. There are a number of commercial programs for this (I use Sound Studio for the Mac). If want to try out the process first you could try the open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity
In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer. There's a short guide to recording here: How to record from vinyl and cassette to a computer also from the BBC Copying Vinyl Recordings to CD
If your Mac or PC hasn't got an audio in socket you can have a look at the Griffin iMic which connects to a USB port and comes with some software of it's own: iMic USB audio interface

Cassette tapes into iTunes library

Please can I ask for your advice on the best way to acheive optimum quality when converting/transferring cassette tapes into my itunes library.
Thank you in advance for your assistance,

I'm not sure what you need covered here. Do you already have a mechanism by which you can convert the cassettes to digital files on your computer or are you asking that too?
Tapes will have hiss. Some of this is deliberate as Dolby Noise Reduction technology of the time, some will just be the tape. Dolby NR is probably best handled at the tape end of things if you make sure you use Dolby filtering on your player for tapes on which it was used originally (you'll only know if it was marked at the time of recording). If you don't have it you can try using computer filtering. I did a bit of this with a program called Amadeus many years ago. It let you sample a bit of the digitized recording which is supposedly blank to get the background noise, then apply it acrosss the whole file. There's always a bit of risk in doing this because you may have something in the recording that looks like the noise signal but is part of the actual sound. Audiophiles can have a field day discussing this.
If you're being really picky, I found I had a bit of noise just produced by my equipment I was using. I would record a few seconds with no tape playing at all just to see what was being produced by my equipment.
Audacity is a free audio editor, but I have never had time to figure it out.
Obviously you are going to want to record your files and edit them in a full-quality lossless format such as AIFF. I archive mine in FLAC format (you could use Apple lossless too), then create a mp3 or AAC version for everyday use.

Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How do I tap into "CPU" usage for a FP indicator

I have built a realy effective database cruncher...With exeptionally easy graphing functionality. The problem is the opperators will not let the dbase read / filter before they start doing the elevator button thing. I currently have the clocks set to use aprox 60~75% CPU during the read and/or filter. How do I tap into the pc cpu usage for an indicator. I think it will lower there pain if they can see that the pc is working hard.

Hi,
Because you are not billing to customer the net amount is zero-
You can do like bill the component as regular item and give credit note against it.
or else create seperate billing output type assign this to proforma invoice- print the cost of item by pulling it in new smart form.
(this is not very good idea because , customer knows the actual cost of the item)
Thanks

What is the recommendation for cleaning ones sensor? I have a 5D.

What is the recommendation for cleaning the sensor on the 5D III
Thank you,
M

The manual recommends using a blower when the automatic cleaning fails - or better yet, sending it to Canon for service. Sometimes - rarely - a blower will work and is the simplest and reasonably safe thing to use.
Otherwise many like the Sensor Swab solution. It is tedious and expensive, but I have used it effectively several times - especially on the 5D that seemed more prone to spots than the newer models. The problem I always have is going from bad to worse to finally better - a lot of patience is required and wasting or going through several of the swabs is not uncommon. Maybe my technique sucks, but I find it takes a lot of time and swabs to be eventually be satisfied. That said, I have never caused any damage and I have always managed to finally get the sensor clean. Along with the swabs, good lighting and magnification (reading glasses or similar) is also necessary as the spots that look huge on a photo will be nearly invisible.

I'm not able it to type into the field for the serial number.

I have a Mac Book. I purchased a download card from Fry's. After pressing "accept" for the terms on my computer I'm not able it to type into the field for the serial number. What's wrong?

Are you sure it's a serial number and not a redemption code? A PSE serial number is 24 digits beginning with 1057. If you have a redemption code, here's what you need to do:

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for the information.Yes it is a common scenario where we are struggling when multiple transports occours,More over the fear of sequencing makes it more complicated in these situations.
Definitely this is a helpful solution.

During video recording the auto focus doesn't work automatically!i must have a tap on the display for to use the autofocus! Ihave an iphone 4s

I know. Same issue here. When I'm not recording but have the video camera on, the autofocus works fine. As soon as I tap the record button and recording starts, the focus is locked until I tap on the screen to focus. I haven't used the camera all that much because of this problem.
