How to transfer a vinyl recording to a digital file on an iMac?

I have an analog output turntable and many vinyl records that I would like to get into digital form.

Two questions one what year iMac and two what kind of analog output from the turntable, line or phono?
The latest Macs do not have an audio input so you will need to use an analog to USB interface. If the iMac is older and you have an audio input jack you cam connect to that.
Now the big question is the type of output from the turntable, If it is a line level output you can connect this right to the input (either iMac jack or USB converter) if the output from the turntable is phono then you will need a phono pre-amp to boost the signal and equalize it. Look in the owners manual or search on-line to find this out.
Once you have your turntable hooked up to the iMAc you sillneed recording software. I like the Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder.
Once you have all this you]re set to go. You can take the files generated by Audacity and import them into iTunes for storage and playback.

Hi All,
can you please clarify me how to handle the control records in case of file to idoc scenario.

Hi,
In File to Idoc scenario even though you selected apply control record values from payload and you are not getting those correct values which you have provided in the mapping.
Also check the checkboxes Take sender from payload and Take receiver from payload along with the Apply control record values from payload checkbox

How to transfer my vinyl albums to digital

I've been wanting to hookup my old stereo and record some of my precious vinyl albums. I don't know how to interface the two, or what the best software to do this would be.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

There are several ways to do this. Here is what I do:
My equipment:
turntable with line out
Behringer unpowered mixer
iMic - Griffin Technology
If you buy the iMic you can download and use Final Vinyl which has an EQ setting to adjust for vinyl recordings. In addition, Final Vinyl will allow you to separate the recording into tracks before you save it. I like to set the tracks manually so they are exactly where I want them.
Sound Soap is another excellent software app for fixing audio. It can remove rumble, caused by the turntable and does and great job of removing other noise. It has a click and pop remover but this isn't its best feature. Too many artifacts are left if you have the click and pop filter too high.

How to update and delete records in a text file?

Hi,
I had a text file in which contains records line by line with ',' as delimiter as I use stringtokenizer and vector to read the data.
The format in the text file likes: Name, Sex, Age.
I want to add 2 functions:
(1) update the record by name, sex or age;
(2) delete the whole line of record;
Do I need to open a temp text file to do it?
And, what is the algorithm can be suggested?
For both of them, I want to firstly read the total line numbers. Then, the line number + Name, Sex, Age will be displayed on the console window. User can choose which line of record to update or delete.
Or, user can search name in order to do that.
But, what is the backend algorithm to handle it? If I have 10 lines of record, I want to delete 7th line, the 7th line of the text file will be blanked. How can I move 8th, 9th and 10th lines of records up by one line in order to fill the blank line?
Do I need to copy the first 6 lines to a temp text file and copy the last 3 lines of records to the same temp file first? and then copy all the content of that temp file back to the original text file? If so, how can I copy the same format of the original file (with '\n') to the temp file? I need the same data structure likes Name, Sex, Age.
However, when I add records, I need to append the text in the original text file, not override it's current content.
Any advice?
Thanks

If your file is not designed to be amazingly large, then you don't need to use a temporary file -- you can just read the data into memory and manipulate it there. (Like, into a Document object or something.)
But if you are dealing with really large files, you might want to consider using a database back end instead of a text file, which is a completely different approach I know but... well, that's why databases were invented.

How to transfer itunes library to new computer? files are saved on ipod

I have an ipod classic with all my music and movies but now that I have a new laptop and had to download itunes again none of my songs are in my library! I have not synced for fear of losing what I do have so I also need to know how to save what I have into a file on the computer as backup.

iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How to move to next record of the databank file using custom code

hi,
can someone please tell me how to move to next or the previous record the Databank file. i found a funtion setcurrentdatabankrecord(), but i am not able to use it.
thanks in advance...

Hi,
I recently had the same problem, here's my solution:
"setCurrentDataBankRecord" is available only to External Program Control.
I used the VB of an empty Word2002 Document.
1. you have to reference the webAnlyst.exe in the object-catalogue
2. create a module via the menue
3. type in the code
This is the code I used - some of the code is just for control
Private Sub TestSetDBRec()
Dim pdtest As webanlst.ProgT
Set pdtest = New webanlst.ProgT
Dim currDBI, numRecsCurrDB As String
' Workspace öffnen
pdtest.play.OpenWorkspace "VBTest"
' Script öffnen
pdtest.play.openScript "BM2B_VK_Änderung"
' DB-Abfragen
numRecsCurrDB = CStr(pdtest.play.getDataBankSize)
currDBI = pdtest.play.currentDatabankIndex
pdtest.play.setCurrentDataBankRecord (2)
currDBI = pdtest.play.currentDatabankIndex
' jetzt das Script abspielen
pdtest.play.doScript "BM2B_VK_Änderung"
End Sub
This works! You can also looping through the database by getting the current value and set the value back increased by e.g. one
Hope it is helpful!

How do i Sort my records in a txt file.

Hi , i am doing a ranking system that is rank by the user number of attempts to finish the game .
Player are ranked best as able finish the game with LEAST amount of attempts.
This is the record that i have in my *.txt based on
(win,NumberOfAttempts,playerName)
win,4,hehehe
win,2,hahaha
win,3,jjjjjjj
win,6,kkkk
win,3,mmmnnn
What sort method can i use to sort the player base on NumberOfAttempts (2nd values of each line)
I saw something like import java.ultis.collections which got a sorting but i dont know how to use it..
anyone can introduce me the best and easy sort that i can use for my ranking? Thanks
If possible give me a example.
Sorry for the troubles and thanks for the help.

It's static class 'Arrays', not array. Check the API doco.
sort
public static void sort(Object[] a)
    Sorts the specified array of objects into ascending order, according to the
natural ordering of its elements. All elements in the array must implement
the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all elements in the array must be
mutually comparable (that is, e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a
ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the array).
    This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered
as a result of the sort.
    The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is
omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest
element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n)
performance.
    Parameters:
        a - the array to be sorted
    Throws:
        ClassCastException - if the array contains elements that are not
mutually comparable (for example, strings and integers).
sort

How to transfer my iPad 4 iOS 7 music files using iTunes and GoodReader (latest version) app to my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)

The GoodReader user manual procedure allows me to transfer files from macbook to iPad but not the other way. I can see my iPad music files via iTunes on the MBP screen. However, I cannot select the music files for transfer to GoodReader, My Documents folder. Once they are in the Goodreader folder, then it is easy to transfer them to MBP.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
RMY

Thanks for your response, Demo.
I'm using the latest version of iTunes, also my MBPS is 10.6.8. My music files on my ipad are MPEG type and they should be compatible with iTunes and GoodReader. These files were already in my iPad before I installed GoodReader.
I want to move the files from my ipad to my MBPS. I previously thought that I am supposed to move these files myself to GoodReader documents folder by following some steps. But after reading the instructions for file transfer, I realized that the GR documents folder should show ALL the files on my iPad. While it shows a couple of documents that I downloaded after the GR was installed, it does NOT show the music files that were on iPad before. This is the problem.
I'm wondering if there is another way of getting these files to theMBP. These files should have a physical location on the iPad. Is it possible to access that location and move them from there? I tried to drag and drop these files from iTunes to a thumb drive in Finder but it did not work.

SQLLDR: (CTL file) How to ONLY load 1 record of the CSV file

Hello,
We are in 11g, and we get CSV data.
I'd like to know if there is a way in the CTL file to specify that I only want to load first row ?
I know how to do it if there is a common unique value in the first row (WHEN myColumn = 'value1' )
BUT, in that case, first row doesn't hold any specific value, and I think that I have to tell the loader to take only first row.
I hope it is clear.
Here is the CTL, in the case we can get a specific value for first row:
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST != ";"
INTO TABLE IMPORT_FIRST_LINES
WHEN COL_3 = 'firstRowValue'
   FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( COL_1         CHAR
, COL_2         CHAR
, COL_3         CHAR)
{code}
So, I think I need to change the *WHEN clause*.
I hope it is clear enough for you to understand.
Thanks in advance,
    Olivier

just change the control file like this,
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST != ";"
INTO TABLE IMPORT_FIRST_LINES
WHEN COL_3 = 'firstRowValue'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( COL_1 CHAR
----------- if you only want to load 1st column of csv file to first column in table.

How do I use an external Monitor to access files on my iMac with a broken screen?

I have an 20 inch desktop iMac with a broken screen. It is the files on the computer that I wish to recover, after that, I can be on my merry way. Unfortunately, VileVault was on (Not my choice), and for some reason, when I target the disc image of the broken mac with a new one, ONE of the accounts "appears" to be completely empty. All of the accouts were running FileVault, but only one (mine) failed to be transferred because it is "empty". I refuse to believe that my files are actually all gone, because theoretically there should be nothing wrong with the CPU itself, just the screen.
Thus my goal is to use a monitor on my broken screen iMac and simply log in and access my files normally, and perhaps pull them out with a USB or something. I have a DELL monitor, and a DVI (The big hairy plug with screws I think) converter that works with my old iMac, along with the male/male DVI cord. However, when I hook it up, nothing happens. I have tried booting the old CPU while holding F7, and option as I read on a forum, and neither produced results.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to 1. Get the monitor to simply show what's going on on the mac? or 2. Pull out my files through some other means?
Thank you.

If you have a second Mac computer, you may want to try to copy over as many files you can. One way is to use target disk mode.
