G3/333 - want to use to convert LP's to MP3's

I have an old beige powerPC G3/300 or 333 (I can't remember) anyway, it has RCA input jacks in the back, can I plug in a turntable and digitize music? I'm running OS 9. Is there particular software I would need? I thought this might be easier than using my G5, which only has USB and firewire inputs, no RCA plugs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello! Yes, probably but in OS9 it may be difficult. If you have what I think you have it also has video inputs. I have mine hooked to my vcr and watched TV on it using the Apple Video Player. (The video part of my card has stopped working but my audio is ok) I have the rca outputs hooked to my stereo amp and speakers to play my iTunes on. You can probably hook the record player to a amp and then hook it into the rca inputs on the computer. Hooking the turntable directly into the computer won't work since a turntable has no amp (unless it's a turntable in a radio/rec player combo). You can import the sound into the video player app and then use SoundApp to convert it to aiff but it takes a lot of disk space to do it this way. There is probably a simpler way of using some sound import app but I'm not familar with one. In OSX there are apps such as Audiorecorder that will record sound inputed from the mic input jack also. Hope this helps. Tom

  • How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

    How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.  i really just want my money back.  Very disappointed.  Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum. 

    You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

  • Want to use a text as shape without convert to shape. is it possible?

    I'm using PS6. Want to use texts as shape for path operations with custom shapes.
    hope can explain my problem.

    OK, we might be getting there. I'm guessing you want to remove the outline of a Type layer from  rectangular Shape.  Is that right?
    Create your rectangular shape.
    Create your Type layer
    Align the two layers.
    Convert the Type layer into a Shape layer.
    You'll have something like this:
    Select the two Shape layers and merge them (Ctrl e or Cmd e)
    Which will give you a single shape layer but this in the paths panel
    Use the Direct Selection tool (white arrow) to drag across and select the type oultine
    Now select the Pen tool, and in the Options bar click on Path Operations drop down, and select 'Subtract front shape'
    Which should leave you this (Note I have turn off the background layer for the sake of clarity)
    I sure hope that is what you are after, because it took me twenty minutes to produce the above illustrations.

    I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use.

    I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
    If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
    But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.

  • I want to know the function moulde used to convert the unit of measure

    The whole process should be done in the Portugues login language.
    For the login language PT( Portuguese). In table MARA, if i choose the menu settings-> use parameters-> and chek this field (conversion field exit) . Then for any material if i check the unit of measure (MEINS), is display of all the material its shows differently, but if i select one material and see all the fields of that material, the MEINS field is changed. For example when all the materials are show the MEINS is ST. but when i select one material and display it . it shows PEC in portugues language.
    I want to know the function moulde used to convert the unit of measure

    HI,
    There exits the conversion routine for that particular field in its domain level..
    copy that conversion routine and search for that in SE37 your conversion routine
    you will find the function module this gives you the internal and external formats
    Fms are listed below for MEINS
    CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT    Conversion exit for commercial (3-char) measurement unit INPUT
    CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT   Conversion exit for commercial (3-char) measurement unit OUTPUT
    For convertiung quantity into base unit of measure you can do this way
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_CONVERSION_MEINS'                       "#EC *
        EXPORTING
          i_matnr             = "give material number"
          i_mein1             = "Unit of measurement "
          i_meins             = "base unit of measure
          i_menge             = "quantity
        IMPORTING
          menge               = "quantioty in your required measurement
        EXCEPTIONS
          error_in_conversion       = 1
          no_success                = 2
          OTHERS                    = 3.
    HOpe this helps you
    Reward if useful

  • I want to use the Mac more, I really do, but-

    Admittedly, I’m a new Mac user (purchased Macbook Pro last October), and I’m really trying to get acclimated to it. I WANT to use it more, but I hit a roadblock at every turn. I’ll keep my issues limited to iMovie in this thread of course, but it seems like every step I take with a Mac is a struggle and more expensive than to do these same, relatively simple things on a PC. It never seems to do exactly what I want. Very simple features seem to be left out in order to entice you to purchase add-ons, plug-ins, or a different package more suited to the task (i.e. Final Cut).
    I’m simply creating fancy slideshows using still photographs with iMovie, and find it grossly lacking in features. It nice for a basic introduction into slide show presentation software, but if you really would like to do something fancy, this software doesn’t cut it. I’m having “Ken Burns” limitations, like exactly what is posted here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5222444&. There are only 12 transitions to choose from…12, which I can’t believe (even the utterly simplistic Windows Vista Movie Make has 63). Many times the playback seems “choppy” when played on the Mac, etc etc. I won’t bore you with more issues.
    Now I understand any packaged photo presentation program (with iLife) is not going to have all the features as one that you would purchase exclusively for that function, so what are my alternatives?
    1) Purchase Final Cut Express for $200, which has gotten very lukewarm reviews to put it mildly. Seems to be overly complicated and you cannot add sound tracks ?!? (I didn’t read all the details on this one).
    2) Purchase Final Cut Studio for $1300. Not going to happen, way too pricey.
    3) Purchase over $500 in GeeThree Volumes 1 through 10 (http://www.geethree.com/slick/), which I heard is about the best alternative to spicing up the iMovie software to make it satisfactorily functional (am I wrong in this assessment?)
    4) Stick with my PC and run ProShow Producer for $250 (http://www.photodex.com/products/producer). This is a super program which has almost all of the features you could possibly want, and is very simple to use. The only thing it doesn’t have is a nice DVD menu system, which I can live with.
    So someone, please give me some suggestions. Am I not seeing the forest through the trees? Are there any better alternatives? I’d even entertain purchasing another Mac software package if there is one out there that someone knows does a better job.

    Hi Lobster1071,
    It is a shame when you can create a slideshow with Spotlight or the Finder yet an app intended for such can't get the job done. Once upon a time iMovie had about 15± transitions and 50± effects so it is not that you can't see the forest through the trees but that the forest has been clear cut and it's a big pile of brush and wood chips that is blocking your view. I don't believe anyone at the moment has any plug-ins for transitions or effects for iMovie 08 so if that was something you were looking for you would have to download the iMovie HD 6 available to those who thought the were buying a motion picture app.
    Apple's blurb about iMovie 08.
    Quick ways to add polish.
    iMovie is designed to make everything simple — including the professional touches that help your movie stand out even more.
    Photos and music.
    Use the iLife Media Browser to bring photos into your movie from iPhoto. Summon the real-time, redesigned Ken Burns effect to add motion and zooms to still photos like a pro
    So much for simplicity, maybe they mean we are supposed to have a seance to summon KB from eternal rest to be able to get this to work. Who knows? It's not too friendly in iM 6 either.
    Graphic Converter is another powerful app that has many uses and you can create a slideshow with a KB effect that is a has a decent pan and zoom. Zoom is what they call it in GC. $20± US it is truly a bargain as it is a great tool to have even if iMovie was worth the disk space it consumes. In addition to pan and zoom you can combine video and still images and it provides you access to many other QuickTime transitions and effects you can then export it to a QT movie and to iDVD if you want.
    The learning curve is a bit steep but support for registered users has always been very good and once you have the hang of it it is easy to include images of any size and shape with the ability to easily automate the tasks that you find yourself repeating quite often. If you need to rotate, crop or edit for any reason you can do that right within the same app. You can try with full functionality to check it out @ http://www.lemkesoft.com/ I do find that I use it most efficiently/productively in conjunction w/ QT Pro but don't think that is really required unless you want to have more than a two channel stereo track as GC allows the inclusion of an audio track but no editing of it. If you want multiple tracks or sound FX etc. that would still have to be done in GarageBand or elsewhere and saved to a single audio file.
    iWork is also very capable of producing halfway decent slideshows with more features than iMovie as well. but I don't think I'd recommend going out and buying it unless you're looking for something to replace MS Office or something similar but there should be a 30 day trial already on you Mac or Install disc so you can try it out and see if it will work for your needs. If nothing else you will find out how much frustration you can really tolerate.

  • I am facing 'How do you want to use this disc' whenever I read/open any lightscribe discs having data.

    Hi,
    When I insert a lightscribe DVD/CD into a lightscribe optical drive, then when I click to open the DVD, I faced this error 'How  do you want to use this disc', although the DVD was full of data. When opening these 
    lightscribe DVD/CD via NON lightscribe optical drive, I noticed that the DVD/CD  opened well without any problems at all.
    Also, how can the System show to me 'How  do you want to use this disc' , in particular when  a DVD is non rewritable(DVD-R) and also contains data)?
    Bear in mind, not all DVDs/CDs were not detected. However, only full lightscribe discs' (having data)
    However, even blank lightscribe discs were detected without problems. When insert a lightscribe disc having data, then I faced that error. However, when inserting  blank lightscribe discs I found that the disc were opened.  Also,
    non lightscribe discs were opened well.
    When checking the device manager, I didn't see any issue with DVD/CD drive. If there were a problem unrecongnising, then I would have seen 'a remarkable mark' in front of it.
    Note: I have faced this problem after trying formating a rewritable CD inserted onto the drive. Althouthg the format failed, all data on the disc was deleted. Anyway, after that, then inserting full-lightscribe  discs are unregonised
    Do you think the problem wth my optical drive. IF so, I would be saying why it wasn't happened with all other non lightscribe discs. If my lightscrib discs were corrupted, then why would they have opened well on another laptop.
    I have done:
    Press the Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box.
    Type devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
    In Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the CD and DVD devices, and then clickUninstall.
    When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
    Restart the computer.
    But the same prolbem is existing.
    yes there is a virtual CloneDrive program installed on my PC, however, there is no any CD mounted into it. Even if a CD was mounted into Virtual Clondrive, there would be no problem at all, because the virtual CloneDrive is used to only
      mount ISO disc images into it, and not physical discs.
    Any I have do what you have said, when inserting a light-scribe disc having data, then I open it, I found this
    NOTE: in the above screen shot there is a lightscribe DVD having data inserted. However, in the screen shot below, there  a ightsrbe DVD not having data inserted. In the first screen shot, the disc is not reconginsed by Windows, however, in
    the second is recognised. 
    Even when I have inserted a lightscribe disc not having data(empty), it opened well regardless of  what virutal CloneDrive is enabled or disabled.
    But when cliced on my problem didn't solve,
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Hi,
    The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
    Notebook PC support
    The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
    Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
    out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
    FIRST OF ALL:
    My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
    My
    sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
    My HP lapotp is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop,
    which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is
    always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to
    the main power supply.
    However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is
    kept from the dust.
    But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop
    still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is
    not oproperly preporly.
    I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I
    charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then
    when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it
    after storing,I found it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it
    lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only
    lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
    the computer shuts down suddenly.
    My problem is follows:::
    First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data
    CD/DVD-R LightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
    unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive
    'duble-click', then I find that disc opens as this way(NOT: With a CD/DVD player
    is grayed out)
    Blank Or Used CD, DVD±R,RW lightscirbe is unable to be
    read:(clicking on it let it Open like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player:
    NOTE: with CD/DVD Player is grayed out)
    Used CD/DVD±R/RW Non-LightScribe disc opens normal:
    Blank CD,DVD±R,RW Non-LightScribe opens normal(Opens like a USB FlashDrive or
    With a CD,DVD)::

    I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software which

    optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc
    recording software
    However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE
    Thus, my questions are:
    How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with
    another one.
    I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP
    laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical
    drive which is as follows:::(ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of
    My Desktop Computer) ---while my optical drive of my desktop was connected to
    the primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the
    primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning
    well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5,
    something went wrong, and then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer
    (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOT recognised/Installed on
    BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a
    recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a
    disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it
    opened empty(no files at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot
    to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was
    still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried
    clicking on it on BIOS and then clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be
    re-recognized. However, that made no difference. I had to take part my computer
    ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto the secondary slave
    IDE , and let HDD connected to the same primary master IDE.
    Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs became being read
    normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS]]]

  • So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

    I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
    http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
    The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
    Finally the point of the post...
    *So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
    *I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
    Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

    With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
    I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

  • I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

    I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

    Hi,
    If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
    You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
    This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
    send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
    If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
    format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
    Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

    I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

    It can be done with analog but not digital thanks to "good 'ol" HDCP copy protection which apple (and most other manufacturers) unfortunately respect.
    So you can take the analog output from your cable box (component -- 5 cables -- if it has it but generally they all have composite -- 3 cables) and feed it into some kind of converter or into some appropriate pci card for your mac pro.  But none of them are going to let you directly use the HDMI output from the box to your computer.
    Bottom line, no single cord is going to work and it will never be the higher quality digital picture you get on your tv.
    Some qualification:  There are boxes that I think support hdmi input.  Look at Blackmagic.  But I still don't think you can get around the HDCP from the cable box (might depend on the kind of cable box). 

  • Loupe in Bridge doesn't display DNG images created using DNG Converter correctly. Why?

    I have noticed recently an anomaly in Bridge when viewing DNG files that are created by converting my Nikon NEF files to DNG using the DNG converter. Specifically, when clicking on the preview image of a DNG file, in order to open the loupe, the 100% image seen in the loupe remain fuzzy, whereas when clicking on a preview of the original NEF file the 100% view in the loupe is sharp and clear.
    I am using DNG Converter version 4.6.0.3, and it also occurs when using version 4.4.1. I am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9.
    I have no reason to believe that Bridge is at fault, since the loupe function does work properly when viewing the NEF file. It would seem that there's a problem in the DNG conversion.
    However, despite this anomaly seen in Bridge, when I open the DNG file in Camera Raw, it is perfectly normal at 100% or any magnification.
    I have tried re-setting the JPEG review size in the DNG converter, but that makes no difference.
    What's going on here? I don't want to keep both the NEF and DNG versions, for reasons of space, but I'd like the loupe to work correctly. Help, please?

    Try to recreate the thumbnails for that folder.
    Use the latest version of the converter (5.4)

    Hi Captfoss!
    I fixed it but now I have another problem. My application send me this message:
    Cannot initialize audio renderer with format: LINEAR, Unknown Sample Rate, 16-bit, Mono, LittleEndian, Signed
    Unable to handle format: ALAW/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate, 8-bit, Mono, FrameSize=8 bits
    Failed to prefetch: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@1b45ddc
    Error: Unable to prefetch com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@1b45ddc
    This time the fail is prefetching. I have no idea why this problem is. Could you help me?The system cant play an audio file / stream if it doesn't know the sample rate...somewhere along the way, in your code, the sample rate got lost. Sample rates are highly important, because they tell the system how fast to play the file.
    You need to go look through your code and find where the sample rate information is getting lost...

  • Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

    Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
    Everything is fine.
    -They are the right format
    -Quicktime is updated
    -I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
    -I have tried going to file<add file to library
    Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
    Any and all help appreciated.

    In addition to Mike's suggestions,  you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

    Cloud accounts are multi-platform.
    You have a maximum of two activations but can use them on Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac. The choice is yours.
