How to record audio out from a portable player

Hi, I have a MacBook Air.  I want to capture the audio out (3.5mm jack) from an old SONY minidisk recorder into the Air.  I tried to plug speakers into the SONY and letting the internal mic capture the speaker sounds, but the quality wasn't crisp.  Can anyone recommend  a direct way (presumably thru USB) that ensures better quality?  Thanks.
BTW, the contents I am capturing are voice journals on mini-disc my grand father had recorded since the mid-90's before he pass recently.

Take a look at the Griffen iMic. I have used it to capture audio from a portable cassette player. I used iTunes to store the tracks.

  • Is it possible to record audio/ vedio from applet and store it on server

    Pls tell me if it is possible to record audio/ vedio from applet and store it on server. I am using JMF. i am able to store audio on the same machine by making a java application but i am not able to understand how to use RTP with it to store it on server from an applet. pls help me i am in urgent need.

    If u want to capture audio/video from the client machine these are the pre-requisites
    1. u need to have JMF installed on the client :(
    one way out of this is that u bundle the library files along ur applet to the client. I am still to figure out how
    to fo that.
    2. while installation uncheck the option 'copy DLLs to system folder....' and check the option 'Allow capture
    from applets.
    3. The Applets u create must be signed, for accessing the client resources such as hard drive.
    You can then capture n save file on the client, open an inout stream out of it, open an outputstream to the server as already described above and start uploading......

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

  • How can i access my old correspondense with old password in Mozilla Thunderbird? How can i check out from my password?

    I had my website moved to other hosting. Accordingly, i changed a password, and when i checked in on my computer the first time with a new password, i stupidly checked the box "remember me on this computer", but i lost access to all my old emails that were laying in Thunderbird on my PC. How can i check out from the current password and log in with the old one so that i could access my old correspondense?

    '''Pop mail accounts '''can only access the server Inbox.
    Messages are downloaded to your computer and stored in the Thunderbird Profile mail account.
    Usually, the copy on the server is removed unless you select to 'leave messages on server' in Account Settings..
    'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Server Settings' for pop mail account.
    These emails are stored on your computer and can be accessed in both 'online' and 'offline' mode.
    You would need to make sure you periodically create a backup of these emails.
    '''IMAP mail accounts '''see a remote view of any subscribed folder on the server.
    Subscribed folders download headers only and when you select to read an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temporary cache to faciltate quick access to reading.
    These emails are not stored in your Thunderbird profile folders on your computer, so would not be visible if you changed to 'offline' mode. They are stored on the server.
    If you did not synchronise those subscribed folders then a copy was never stored in your Thunderbird profile imap mail account.
    As you have modified the IMAP mail account and it is currently accessing the new hosting server, so cannot display anything on a different server, I would leave it alone because it is working just fine.
    What you could try is to create a new IMAP mail account with server settings to the old host server using the old password.
    File > New > exisitng mail account
    Enter name, email address and password
    click on 'Continue'
    If you do manage to get access, then synchronise the subscribed folders to get a copy downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folders. As those folders are constantly updating to match the server, once you have the emails downloaded, go into 'offline' mode and move them into 'Local Folders'; you will need to make new folders in Local Folders account for those emails.
    However, it is possible that you may not get access as that contract has ended. There is no obligation for the old host company to keep your emails if you do not have an account with them. In which case those emails will be lost.
    After creating new imap mail account, if you get access do as advised to get emails into Local Folders, once emails are in Local folders you can remove/delete the imap mail account. If it does not work, you can delete the imap mail account.

  • MBP audio out from headphone jack is extremely low in volume

    i just sent my macbook pro 13in (mid 2009 model) to the apple store (out of warranty). my problem was that the audio out from the headphone jack was very very low and staticky. the problem arose about 2-3wks ago. i've owned the laptop since june 2009. i've never dropped or damaged it (no water damage, etc)
    my local apple store told me they had to replace logic board which seems extreme for what my problem is. i've read numerous forum posts saying that their computers came back with flickering "kernel panic"
    has anyone else had a similar audio problem with their computer, and if so was it resolved in this manner?
    thanks!

    I think you may be mistaken. the static coming from macbooks audio output port is as old a story as the macbook itself. IMO, epic fail on apple's part. I am debating complaining in a few months when I decide I deserve a better sound quality from a ridiculously overpriced laptop.

  • I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

    I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
    I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
    Thanks

    No. You can only use one sound output:
    Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
    If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

  • How do i sing out from hotmail/ how to open camera when i chat with messenger

    how to i sing out from hotmail????????... it says coudn't sign out because web brower cookie........
    how to open camera when i chat using messenger?????????

    Thanks for your help - I am frustrated that I can't figure this out. I am not getting any error messages but here is what happes. I plug in the IPAD and it shows up in the left hand colum in itunes but it does not sync to ITUNES. When I click on the IPAD, it shows me the tabs but that nothing is actually on the IPAD hard drive. When I click on transfer files manually, the "apply" button does not work. When I turn off the transfer files, the apply button still does not work. So next, I tried the music button, and it does ask whether to "apply" but when I click on apply, nothing happens. Under the music tab, it only shows music that I purchased from ITUNES but not all the music that I purchased on CD and transfered to ITUNES.

  • Audio Out from iMac

    Hi there....on my iMac, suddenly I'm only getting audio out from the headphone jack at the back (which goes into my JBL Creature II's) on the RIGHT hand side. it does seem that suddenly the output jack socket has become defective....anyone else had this kind of thing?

    Try it with something else, such as iPod earbuds, to make sure the problem is not on the speaker side.
    Also, check System Preferences Sound pane Output tab to make sure the Balance setting did not get set all the way to the right side somehow.
    If it's still broken, try resetting the PRAM

  • How to delete Audio Lectures from iTunesU

    I Just wanted to ask How to delete Audio Lectures from iTunesU?

    If you are using automatic syncing, you must have set up the shuffle's Books screen in iTunes, to tell iTunes how to sync audiobooks to the shuffle.  You go to the Books screen by selecting the shuffle in iTunes, to see the row of "buttons" that starts with Summary.  Click on Books there...
    If you set up that screen to sync audiobooks to the shuffle, you just need to uncheck the books you no longer want on the shuffle, and click Apply.
    If you loaded the shuffle using the manual method (drag and drop items on the shuffle in iTunes), please post back.

    This is OK because the Conexant sound chip does not support other sources
    Ive got a unit with Realtek sound chips and with Conexant sound chip.
    The Realtek support the recording from other sources but Conexant doesnt.
