How would I record audio from iphone into computer?

i was wondering if anybody could help me.
i want to hook up my ipod to my computer and record the audio from the iphone
how would i go about doing that?

The OP would like to "record audio from the iPhone", not copy audio files across.
Once we find out which audio (existing files or live through the mic) we'll be able to offer suggestions.
For exisatinf audio, the first choice is obviously iTunes and sync, but I suspect it's the latter, in which case I'd recommend the free app: Megaphone Free.
It directs the sound picked up by the microphone to the headphone socket, so you can then just record the Line-in signal on the Mac.

How can i play audio from movies from atv2 to airport express?

Music from atv2 to airport express appears to work okay, but not audio from movies.

Thanks. Seems odd that apple allow music to be streamed through itunes to airport express but we cannot play the audio from movies through itunes.

How do I record audio from the internet in AA CS6?

When I used AA 2.0 and 5.5... I was always able start recording a wave file... minimize AA and roll a song or interview on the internet and record it.
Now that I've upgraded to AA CS6 I haven't been able to do that.
I've intalled the latest ASIO driver for my Presonus Firebox sound card and can record from all other sources,.. turntable, cassette deck (don't laugh)... midi... etc.
I've double and quadruple checked my hardware and channel routing settings and all seem to be correct. Even tried a new fireware cable. So it just seems that even though I can hear mp3s and wavs coming from my PC through the sound card fine... the audio just isn't getting to Audition. When I monitor the input all I get is the noise floor reading.
I have a Gigabyte mother board with onboard Realtek HD audio... which is disabled... don't even think the drivers are installed for that. Could that be the problem. I have always been under the impression that on board audio should be disabled when your using an external ASIO sound card. One other thing I noticed is that when I go into control panel and open "sounds and audio devices"... all the ins and outs there match the settings in CS6 but on the first tab for "volume" the device volume slider is greyed out.
If any of this raises a red flag that I'm missing... please let me know what you think. I'd be indeed grateful
Thanks

Morning Bob.. thanks for your quick reply...
Sorry I didn't provide a profile of my set-up/signal chain
Actually I'm still one of the hold-outs... OS is still Win XP Pro service pack 3. I tied what you advised regarding "hidden devices" in sounds and device controllers but in XP there does not seem to be anywhere to right click to bring up the list of hidden devices.
As I mentioned my sound card is an external Presonus Firebox which is firewired to a firewire card in the tower... the Gigabyte mobo has onboard Realtek HD audio which is disabled.
I use the rear inputs and outputs of the Firebox and control audio levels with a Mackie 802 mixer. The only thing in my setup that changed was upgrading to CS6.
By the way, the recording problem goes beyond the internet. I used to be able to playback saved mp3s in realplayer, mediaplayer, etc and record them in 2.0 and 5.5. Most of those files were recorded as wav and converted to mp3 pro. I realize that CS6 does not support mp3 pro.. but even when I convert those files to mp3 I have the same problem on play back that AA CS6 doesn't get a level. But again, AA can receive audio from any other source I use.
Wondering if I should try reinstalling and enabling the Realtek HD audio drivers and seeing if that makes a difference. My uneducated guess is that will create a device conflict blocking AA from accessing the Firebox until Realtek is done.
Would appreciate your thoughts
Many thanks

Recording Audio from Video Tape

Hi! I want to record audio from a video tape and put the audio into my imovie. I have done this funtion before, but I can't seem to remember how! I am able to play the movie (the video tape) in a VCR which then goes through my "bridge" (DV Converter) and into the computer. When I open imovie and import the video and audio into a "clip", I can't seem to play the clip and record the "audio" in the audio section. Again, I have done this before, I just don't remember how. Can anyone help??

Hi Kim - welcome to the forum!
You would simply extract the audio from the clip - select it, then go Advanced>Extract Audio (Command J). This will place the audio in the top audio track. Then you can delete the clip, and move the extracted audio to wherever you want it.
Does that help?

Taking JUST audio from movie.

I have a movie that i want to take just the audio from, i want to be able to edit just the audio and im guessing the only way i can do this is to import the audio into garageband and edit from there and im ok with that, i just dont know how to separate the audio from the movie. Once its been edited in garageband i then want to be able to record the audio onto a cd that i need to send to someone to get it transcribed.
Does anyone know of a way to extract just the audio and do what i want to do?
Thank you!

Right in iMovie if you right click the footage clip in the drop down menu you can select Detach Audio. Don't know if you could do any thing to it in garage band though. Give it a try and post back if you figure it out.

Where did the "record audio from speakerphone" option go in Connect 8??

When I went to start a recording today in Connect 8, I noticed that the "record audio from speakerphone" option is missing on the pop-up where you enter your recording name and description. Where did this option go? This is how we record all of our meetings where we do not have integrated audio (usually due to using an operator assisted line.) I did double-check my flash settings and made sure the meeting had access to the microphone.

Connect 8 records all audio from the Phone if that was used, or VOIP or via Universal Voice. It picks up all audio in the meeting.
If you have associated a universal voice audio profile with the meeting, choose Audio > Join Audio Conference.
Choose Meeting > Record Meeting.
In the Record Meeting dialog box, enter a name and summary for the meeting recording.
A recording icon (red circle) appears in the menu bar to indicate that the meeting is being recorded.

How do I record music from Itunes to a dvd to play on a Sony DVD player dvp sr500h?

How do I record music from Itunes to a dvd, that shows it is finishing but will not play on my hardrive or on a Sony DVD player, dvp sr500H?

If you are burning a DVD directly from iTunes (a feature which is present in older versions of iTunes but which was removed in iTunes 10.4), that creates a computer-type DVD for backup only and cannot play in any DVD player I know of. If you want to create a disk that can play in a DVD player, you'll need to burn an audio CD, an MP3 CD if the player will accept MP3 CDs, or use some other software.
Regards.

Problem recording audio from sampler...

Problem recording audio from sampler (MPC 1000) to Logic using midi trigger thru Lexicon Omega box.
When I hit the record button in Logic, it triggers my mpc to start playing. Logic then picks up the incoming audio signal on the appropriate track and starts recording the audio... PROBLEM- Logic appears to keep restarting the incoming audio, repeating the first 1/4 of the first 1Bar. So every time I hear the metronome tempo counter as it records, the incoming audio replays from the beginning and this is what gets recorded. On the contrary when I'm controlling the sampler via midi and just hit the play button in Logic, the audio signal comes threw and plays the full 4 bars of the audio that I want recorded.
Any idea on how I can fix this? It seems like it has to do with my metronome counter or midi time code?
Thanks to all that help!

Thanks, good suggestion but these are music instruction dvds that aren't copyrighted.
cheers

Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

Recording audio from a DVD

How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
Now I've got something to do.
