How to edit using voice dictation?

I have iPhone five. I have downloaded iOS eight. Is there a way to edit while using voice dictation on notes?

The linking between Audition and Premiere only works with Premiere Pro, not, unfortunately, with Premiere Elements. So stick with what you know, do your video edit first and then export a video with audio in a format suitable to import into Audition. Then you can work on the audio against the picture and use the original audio track as a guide for checking the sync against. So save it safely and don't overwrite it what ever you do.
Thanks, that's good to know, but can I ask you another question? Here's what I've done: recorded sixty minutes of me playing and singing in both audio and video. It's going to be edited down to about 40 minutes of material, so there will be cuts and joins. I'm going to overdub a bunch of parts over the audio tracks - bass, keyboard, percussion, backing vocals - the whole nine yards. Should I finish the audio portion of the project first, before I get into editing the video? Or can I proceed with the video edits like you suggest and then bring them into Audition to synch up with the overdubbed parts? I have no idea how to go about any of this except for the audio bits - Audition 6 is lovely.
jplew - I apologise for detouring this thread. I hope both topics can co-exist happily in the same thread.

How do you use Voice Memos?

I read in the Features Guide (link below) that it was possible to use a microphone and make voice recordings, but when I hook up a microphone nothing happens and the Voice Memos menu doesn't appear. What do I need to make this work? Thanks

Syncing Voice Memos

How do you uninstall a program from mountain lion osx

Hi first time on mac forum
my question is being new to imacs how do you uninstal a program from an imac running osx mountain lion. And of course get rid of the icon for that program from launchpad
thanks

What app do you want to uninstall? If it's an app that is provided by the installation of OS X, e.g. Safari, Reminders, Notes, Mail, etc. - there are many others - they shouldn't be uninstalled.
If it is an app that was downloaded from the Mac App Store, in Launchpad click and hold its icon until it jiggles. Click on the 'x' in the corner to delete it.
If it's an app that was installed using an installer program it is always best to see if an uninstaller is available from the developer of the app (there is often an uninstaller bundled in with the installer package).
Other third party apps that are simply drag-installed into the Applications folder - like Skype, for example - can be just dragged to the Trash and will be deleted when the Trash is emptied.

How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

Hi All,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
All great except for my Apple Remote control.
Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
Any advice will help!
Thanks in advance/all the best.
Marco

Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
they do promote the following:
Apple Remote with Mac
The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
Cheers

How do YOU manage multiple displays in Mountain Lion?

I'm finding that Mountain Lion's changed display management awfully hard to rationalize. I recently purchased a Macbook Air. I love it, but as a developer I did need more screen real estate. A few days ago I plugged an external 22" monitor in and was horrified to discover that a) full-screen mode renders one display worthless b) flipping between spaces flips BOTH screens.
This is entirely incomprehensible to me, but I'll leave the question of the wisdom of the decision for others to debate.
What I want to do is simple. Either:
a) be able to flip between spaces on either display INDEPENDENT of the other
and/or
b) Flip between spaces on one display while leaving the other untouched. For example, using one as a reference screen while flipping between the browser and my code editor.
So, fellow developers and power users, how do YOU manage this scenario? Is there some 3rd-party utility that allows me to easily restore the functionality I had in previous versions of OSX?

Why not start here.

How can I use Boot Camp in Mountain Lion to mount Windows XP?

I would like to use Windows XP on my 2009 13" MBP in Boot Camp? I have tried and it only asks for Windows 7 and when I use XP it says unable to install.
1. Is this usual?
2. If so, is there a work around?
I do not have Windows 7 nor will I purchase it. I want to use this computer primarily as Widows XP as my new 2012 MBP is for Mac! Please help!
Thank you!

I concur with dalstott with the following additional information:
1. I am currently typing on my 2009 MBP. I installed Windows XP in Bootcamp soon after I purchased it. I then upgraded it to Snow Leopard and then later to Lion, and Lion is what I run today.
Bootcamp continues to function with Windows XP installed. I also have Parallels 7, and, as one of the features of Parallels, I am able to use the Bootcamp partition to run Windows XP within Parallels, as well, for concurrent use of Windows XP and Mac OS X Lion (saving me the duplication of hard disk space if I had to have both the Bootcamp partition and the very large file that Parallels would create for Windows XP).
2. There may well be a way for you to install Bootcamp and Windows XP in Mountain Lion without restoring Snow Leopard:
This method requires access to a WIndows 7 upgrade disc, but you do not need the serial number and you never actually upgrade to WIndows 7 (stop after Step 8):
User Tip: BootCamp - Install Windows XP & then Windows 7
NOTE: Although the author of this User Tip suggests that it will work on all Macs running Mt. Lion, if you read the thread, you will see that others have had problems, and my post suggesting that this method will only work if the Mac could originally install Bootcamp with Windows XP such as yours and mine.
3. While searching for tip #2, I also came up with this suggestion:
Installing WinXP on Lion or above without BootCamp
Good luck and be sure to come back and let us know what works for you!

How do you setup HTML signatures in Mountain Lion Mail?

Hi,
Any help with this issue will be very much appreciated.
I have just updated to Mountain Lion, it seems to work ok aside from "Mail signatures".
I am creating a new signature for my company and noticed that in Mountain Lion, mail creates a new signature with the .mailsignature file type. When I try to replace it with my .webarchive file, it does not work. Has anyone figured out a way to get my HTML signature into Mail?

How do you use voice and data at same time?

I'm on a call and need to look up data from a file also on my phone. What's the simplest and most effective way to simultaneously do this? Thanks in advance.

If you're with Verizon, you can only do this in a wifi area.
The simplest way is to tap the home button and then tap the icon of what you want to do. You'll either have to use speakerphone or an earpiece in order to see the screen .

How do you use imessages on "Mountain Lion"

How do you use i-messages on Mountain Lion, Several analysis of the new operating system seem to say you can do that but I tried to send a message to my Ipod, Iphone and I-Pad from the new operating system " Mountain Lion" But I guess I got things set up wrong it did not work. I got no messages from the I-Mac.
Since I am a new I-Mac used ( Have a ipod, ipad & Iphone) would like to be able to send Imessages from my I-Mac and can't figure out how to do that. I keeps wanting to send AIM messages and when I go to change it to I Cloud mesages I don't see I-Cloud on the list???

Joe thanks for the reply but I am still confused here is the problem:
I opened The accounts window and went to my ME.com account but it wants me to set up an AIM account , what is that all about . I was sure I was sending the messages thru the apple server .
Second I am a PC person and this is my wifes I-Mac, so I am new to MACS but I have used PC's for 35 years.
She wants to be able to send me I-Messages for her MAC that is why I am trying to set this up for her. She is NOT a Techie and so she depends on me. I am very confused by the MAC as I have buily trouble shoot and fixed PS (not as a profession but as a hobby) I am trying to get used to the MAC so I can help my wife. As I have an IPOD and an 4S I-Phone. Now you know the whole story. Sorry to bore you with the details but I was sure it would help you give me a better Idea of where to go to correct the AIM situation.
OK when I go to the ME.com account there is no where where I see Caller ID???
What I see is My wifes e-mail a Bonjour ( imactive) account, & Yahoo account. I may be in the wrong place
Toi be frank I don't see an Imessages account. Under mail accounts I see My wifes 5 e-mail accounts and one of them is a .ME account ( I assume that is the icloud account) but where it says account type it says AIM how do I change it to an I Cloun account?
OK the next question when you say click on the DOCK I go to system preferences and click on DOC and I get some screen that shows SIZE, Magnification Position on screen and so on.
When I go to the Finder and click on Applications I get a window that says messages but there is nothing on that window that I can adjust?

How do you transfer voice memos from your phone to computer

How do you transfer voice memos from your phone to computer

Is it possible to transfer a voice memo to my computer and then convert that to text that can be printed?
Here is my problem. I study harbor seals and have always taken hand written notes that then must be typed into the computer when I get home from an observation. Is there any way I can dictate what I see to a voice memo and then have that translated to text. If there is which would do it best an iphone or ipad (I have neither, just a tracphone for an emergency).
Perhaps this is asking too much from the technology available but it would be a great help if I could do this.
Thanks for any help you can give!
