How do I make a simple voice recording that can be attached to an email?

I want to record a short message, mp3 or any format is fine, and attach it to an email. I've tried opening Garage Band to do it, and downloaded Audacity, but I have no idea how to use either one. I have a microphone that plugs into the audio port, and know how to switch to "use audio port for sound input" in preferences. But I want a simple command that says "start recording" instead of the complicated control panels I see in the two programs I've looked at.

Had it before GB existed; I use other audio software for other tasks, but this one is probably the most easy to use app (of any kind) I've ever used. Click, speak, click, click. Done, with file sitting on my desktop.

How do I make a photo a jpeg that can be attached to an email and not in the body

How do I attach photos to an email so that they are an attachment and not in the body of the email?

Right click on the photo in the email and select Display as Attachment from the contextual menu. How it ends up is dependent on the email client. You may have it show up as an attachmen before sending and the receiving end may be set to display it in the body.
In either case be sure to set Mail to send Windows Friendly Attachments:
If you compress/zip the file it before adding to the email it will definitely be added as an attachment. But that requires an couple of additonal steps and to assure the zipped file will be Windows friendly you would need to use the free YemuZip application.

How can I make a simple voice recording with no instrumentals?

I just want to record a song or two, save them individually and then burn to a cd. I don't need all of Garageband whistles and bells. I'm intimidated at the new 'event/project' start menu. I don't want to select a key or timing. I just want to sing the song using the mic on my iMac. This is not going to be posted for the general public and I don't want or need fancy. Suggestions? Guidance?
I mistakenly posted this first to the podcasts site.

there's nothing to fear there, pick "Acoustic Instrument" for a simple "no bells" recording track

then don't.
if you don't intend to use any of GB's tools, then the key and tempo don't matter

How do I upload a digital voice recording to iTunes 10?

I have a new Olympus VN8100 digital voice recorder that I used the other day to record a meeting. The instructions tell you how to hook it up to a Mac and how to dismount it, but not what to do in between to upload the recording to a computer.
I did manage to burn the recording to a CD-R, but I can't find an "Import CD" option in the File menu, so I haven't been able to store it on my Mac. When I select "Add to Library...", neither the burned CD-R nor the VN8100 icon shows up in the list of Desktop items.
I can't even figure out how to play back the CD I burned to make sure it burned successfully--iTunes Help doesn't offer anything useful and the tutorials don't cover that.
I assumed I could put a spoken recording on my computer with the iTunes application, but maybe that's changed with iTunes 10? Can anyone walk me through this? Thanks so much for your help!

Simple voice recorder/save for curve 8320?

Can anyone recommend a simple voice recorder for the curve 8320 where I can record voice notes and save them directly to my phone instead of emailing/mms'n them using the built in send voice note feature on the phone? I have tried using handango and their software sucks, stuff doesn't work and I tried the vr+ voice recorder program they have and don't like it, I just want something simple.
Does it exist?

soon, a Handheld OS version 4.5 will be available for your carrier (if you're at AT&T it already is). Inside it there will be a video mode : you'll be able to take pictures like today, and also 3GP videos.
If you want, you can install it from AT&T and delete the vendor.xml file on your PC before launching the Desktop Manager to upload the OS on your Blackberry.
Apart from that, I can't install applications on my Blackberry so I lag a bit about available wonders other people can install on their Curve.

How To Get A Sony Digital Voice Recorder MSV File To Play On Mac?

Hi...
I have a Sony Digital Voice Recorder that (I guess) puts it’s recording’s into a MSV format. I’ve done a Google search and found conversion software...
But does anyone have any recommendations or is my Mac capable of the conversion with it’s assortment of software already?
Thank you in advance
Comments, suggestions and opinions are appreciated.....

Hi Catharsis,
Switch for OSX does NOT convert MSV files. The only way to do it is with something like CrossOver or Parallells with a windows installation and use the Sony software.
Had I known this prior, I would not have bought the Sony product which in all other respects is a good piece of equipment. (ICS MX20)

Voice recorder that's OSX compat.?

I know this question has come up before, but I haven't found an answer to my question.
I use an Olympus DS-330 voice recorder and it's Mac-compatible. It's got a limit, set to high-quality, of 4 hours or so, which isn't enough. It looks as though Olympus has basically abandoned Mac. (My recorder is four years old.)
I don't own an iPod and it seems like overkill for my purposes. Anyone have any recommendations for a Mac-compatible voice recorder that will record 8 hours on high-quality settings, and that's in the $150 and under range?

I switched this from "answered" because I'd like to hear more. Anyone have experience with the new Olympus OSX-compat. recorders, or other good Mac-compatible recorders?
I'm a reporter, so I'd especially like to hear how they work in that context -- one on one interviews, small groups w/ambient noise.
The DS-2 and WS-300M seem likely choices, but is the OSX integration smooth and useful? Olympus seems to have moved from using its proprietary DSS player to Windows media. Can you slow down playback on that?
Any other recorders worth using? I want at least 8-10 on a high-quality setting.

How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs no visable buttons?

I'm sorry to be so vague. I have recently found out that what I want
to do is put my images in a javascript image rotator. I have looked
this up on google and have now tried about 6 different codes. I try to
follow the insert directions but I must be doing something wrong. I
get the first photo linked up but can never make the picture change to
show the other two photos in the image folder.
Can you direct me as to how this works in dw?
Thank you so much for helping.

Supposedly OSX Mavericks downloaded. I saw it downloading in launchpad. I left and came back and I guess it was all finished. How do I make sure it downloaded. I can't see any difference.

Supposedly OSX Mavericks downloaded. I saw it downloading in launchpad. I left and came back and I guess it was all finished. How do I make sure it downloaded. I can't see any difference. Also, I have a notice that I should upgrade Mac EFI Firmware 2.1. And I got a notice that my ILibrary has changed locations. I don't have an ILibrary.

Look in your Applications folder for Install Mac OS X Mavericks file.
Better be sure you straighten out those peculiarities on your system before you upgrade to Mavericks or you will likely find yourself with a botched system. Be sure to perform the EFI update before upgrading, too. Put all normal OS X applications and files where they belong. Otherwise, erase the drive first. (after the EFI update.)

How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?

How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?
Here's what we tried - and none of this worked when we tried the CD and DVD at our local library on their Dell, Compaq and IBM PCs.
1. We have 11 documents composed in Word (2004) in .rtf format with many, many photos embedded. The documents are in a folder.
We first created a disk image of the folder using Disk Utility: File> Create image from folder. Once we had the .dmg which was about 1.16 GB we burned this onto a DVD choosing no compression and no encryption. This DVD worked fine on the MBP but it wasn't even recognized by any of the PCs at the library.
2A. We tried to compress the folder to burn it onto a CD. In DU, by choosing compression with no encryption we reduced it to about 530MB. For some unknown reason when we tried to burn this onto a CD using DU, we got the message that the CD didn't have enough space. It is a 700MB CD so that made no sense - does anyone know why this would occur?
2B. So, we went to the Finder to use its burn option. We were able to put the 530MB compressed folder which we created in DU onto a CD using the Finder. Again, this worked fine on the Mac. At the library this CD was recognized by the PCs, but Word couldn't open it. Once we got a message that it was too large to be opened (bigger than 32MB!) - the librarian did not recognize this as a default that they might have set. Mostly, we got the message that Windows could not open the document.
What should we have done? What should we do to achieve this? I know there must be a way.

Thanks for the extra info, K.
This sounds like a good idea, but the CD is a gift for a friend in India and presenting him with a flash drive just won't be the same. (Although I suppose we could take the drive with us and burn something there - but that's too risky if it fails on the ground and besides, what we'd have on the drive would be Mac created, unless you have an idea on how to get around that - DU DVD/CD master? convert?)
{Little space is gained by putting a .dmg file inside a .zip file; I've checked with some
of mine and often it isn't really a deal maker to add a step in this process.}
The original folder as a dmg was 1.16GB too big for a CD. As a compressed file done in DU it was about 530MB and as a zip it is 450 or thereabouts. The files are on the MBP and I am on the G4 now and it is not turned on.
The fairly easy to use application the link takes you to, has almost no learning curve.
It will not compress an item, but you can easily; to include putting items in folders and
then use Create Archive to make them one package...
The Burn 2.3 utility makes Mac+PC compatible disc recordings, in DVD and CD media.
The simple interface is why it is handy. Otherwise, one could probably get by with the
other methods which are native to the Mac; through other steps...
I'm not sure what I am gaining at this point in time by doing this - if you both think archive (zip) and burn from finder will work.
This does sound like something we can definitely use in the future, thanks.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.
