How do I record onto my Mac?

I am brand new to the Mac world and Im learning little by little.
Is there a way to record my voice onto my Macbook and then save it on the hard drive? I know there is an internal mic but Im not sure if I can save a sound clip of myself. Please advise. Thanks!!

GarageBand will work...

Panasonic TM700 recording in 1080/50p (PAL) - how do I get onto a MAC?

Hi
I have just purchased a Panasonic TM700 and recorded a few test shots in 1080/50p.... only to discover that neither I-movie or Final Cut Express can import the recordings.
The Panasonic software provided is only PC friendly (and I'm not going there!) so has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can get them onto my MAC...
Many thanks
Steve

There will be several qualifications to my answer, because I work with 60p NTSC, and I'm not sure if PAL is significantly different or not. The main issue I think will be if the native video files are .mts.
When you connect the camera you should be able to navigate to the native files with this path: Camera Mem/AVCHD/BDMV/Stream/.mts. Copy the .mts files.
I use a program called Clipwrap to convert these files to .mov files. A free version limited to 1 minute clips is available for download.
Once you have the .mov files, you can import them to iMovie.
The other way to get the files on to your computer is record a small bit of video with HA 1080i setting. With that small bit, along with your 1080p clips, iMovie will allow the function of "Archive All" which will get the camera memory contents on to your computer, but you still have to convert the mts files with Clipwrap, in order to work on them.

Lost music I added to iTunes when I did current update. It is on my iPad, but do not know how to get it onto new Mac.

This is the second time I have updated to a newer version of Itunes and when complete the only music i have access to is the purchased music.I loaded several hundred songs to my former computer. It got wet and I lost entire hard drive, nothing was recoverable. Fortunately i have all music and pictures on my IPad, do not know how to get music I did not purchase from Itunes onto Itunes on my new Mac. This is my second MAc in less than 3 years due to my accident.

You only get one download of rentals (in the US you can re-download some films, but I'm not sure whether that applies to rentals). If the film is on yoru computer's iTunes, then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes under 'Devices', and the use the Films/Movies tab on the right-hand side to sync the film to the iPad.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

Recording from record onto my Mac

Hi....can anyone help!
I've got a record player that I want to hook up with my Mac and record my records into it so I can use them on my ipod?!
Chris

You will need something like the iMic by Griffin Technology. iMic provides a USB input to the iBook.
Depending on the record player, you may need some kind of pre-amp. If it is a high quality turntable, you will need the pre-amp, or be able to connect to a stereo amplifier. If the player includes the amplifer, then you can connect either to an available output jack (to tape recorder, etc.) or to a head phone jack. To make these connections, you will need the appropriate adapters. The iMic has a standard 1/8 inch stereo input. If you must use the head phone jack on the amp, you will need to play with the volume to prevent distortion of the sound. Start with the volume at the lowest level, and adjust until you are just shy of overdriving the input.
I have not tried iTunes yet, but understand that it is easy to use. I did most of my record conversion before the advent of iTunes. I used a Shareware program call Amadeus.

I just download an album into iTunes, all songs play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that only plays 10 seconds and then skips to the next song. How do I download onto my Mac again?

I just downloaded an album into iTunes, all songs on album play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that stops 10 seconds into it and then moves to my next song. Can I download this song again? How?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

Thank you for replying!
That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

How do I get Captivate 8 (MAC) to record keystrokes?

I am trying to do the following and am very confused...I thought Captivate records keystrokes and then let's users try out what is recorded.
For example, I am trying to record a log in screen. I record my screen where I type in my username and password. When I play it back, it does not show the text typing but rather it suddenly appears.
Then I want the user to practice, but when I record for an assessment, again, it does not create boxes for users to type in the information. Is there a tutorial that shows me how to make this happen?
Thanks!

I looked for drivers for my superdrive but they don't appear to be available from the manufacturer (Sony). Fortunately I was able to load the contents of the installation disk onto the mac side of my computer and transfer it onto the windows side where I could install it. So I am fine for now but it would be nice to have a functioning optical drive on my windows side if possible.
The superdrive is internal. I downloaded the bootcamp support files from bootcamp assistant right before installing windows so I assume if a driver exists it would have been installed.
Do you know where I could get a Windows 8 driver for an internal OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H?
Thank you for your help.

How can I get my VCR-c recordings onto my mac?

Long but simple story:
I have dozens of old VCR-C cassettes with a lot of memories on them. I now want to digitalize them and get them on a DVD(or my computer for now). I have the VCR adapter for the vcr-c cassettes so I can watch them through a VCR. My original idea was to record them onto mini-DV tapes then transfer onto my mac. I have a Sony DCM-HC38 camcorder that has a firewire(i.Link) port, except none of my TV's and VCR's has a firewire port. My Tv's do have a VGA, RGB, HDMI, and normal ports though.
So how can I do this? Thanks.

You're going to need to digitise that video before the Mac can see it, and no, copying it onto Mini DV tapes is not the way to go - you'll lose a generation of quality for a start, even if you could do it.
To digitise the video you'll need to get the signal from your VCR to the Digitiser and then on to the Mac where an app such as iMovie can import it.
So what's a digitiser: many middle and upper range video camera will do this function for you, but as yours has no RCA inputs then I doubt that it has the capability. So, upgrade your camera to one that will or buy something like this:
