I don't see a jack for an external microphone - hp notebook Pavilion m6

I have  a headset I'd like to plug in, it has a better microphone but I don't see a jack for microphones, just for headsets. Is there a jack or how can I use my external microfphone

Ah - I have just run into this problem with a HP Pavilion m6. I have been trying to digitally record some precious archival material from tape cassettes over forty years old, and I thought to use a cassette deck as an external microphone, and connect the RCA jacks on the deck to a mini 3½mm phono jack  plugged  into the HP.
It won't work!! Bother!
In the first place, the mini jack has to have four poles, not the usual three.
One way around this to use an external microphone is to acquire an external sound card with the usual mini ports to plug into one of the USB ports in the HP. Such an external sound card is easily got, and they are inexpensive. However, whether or not one can get a good quality external sound card is another matter.
One other solution seems to partially work: I acquired from a television shop an interconnector with a 4-pole 3½  mini jack at one end and RCA plugs at the other, including a video plug. Using the one video plug in one of the cassette deck stereo plugs works, but converts the stereo of the cassette to mono when recorded by the HP m6.

  • I have trimmed some R3D flies in Premier Pro and I want to export the trimmed versions in full res to my hard drive, i.e. I want to export the files so that they end up on my hard drive in the same native format. I don't see an option for this in Premier

    Aperture has the ability to work with files in their existing location. They are called "referenced masters." When you import images, you should select the "In their current location" in the "Store Files:" drop down box. Have a read of the documentation for full specifics. Unsure how you can resolve your duplication; might be some work but next time have a read of the manual first
    Information for versions is stored in the Aperture database (library file). The masters can be inside the library file itself, or they can be somewhere else.

  • I've updated my iPad 2 with iOS 6.0 but I don't see any settings for siri

    I've updated my iPad 2 with iOS 6.0 but I don't see any settings for siri.  I don't see many of the new features i was expecting and i am not sure as to why.  Will there be another update?  Please advise?  Thanks.

    Not for Siri on the iPad 2 - from http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ :
    Siri is available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd generation), and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Cellular data charges may apply.
    Passbook, from the same page (not for iPads) :
    With Passbook, you can scan your iPhone or iPod touch to check in for a flight, get into a movie, and redeem a coupon.

  • On my i tunes page on my laptop, I don't see a tab for Photos in the drop down list in my library, so I can't download photos from my laptop.  What am I doing wrong?

    On my drop down list in my library in i Tunes, I don't see a Photo tab.  How do I find that so I can download photos from my hard drive?

    No, not on the File menu. Click on the Device that shows up when connected:
    Either:
    If you do not use the Sidebar, when the iPod is connected to iTunes, you should see this icon appear to the left of the iTunes Store button:
    Click on the ringed icon (but not on the "eject" part of it!).
    Or
    If you use the Sidebar, you will see the Device appear, as shown below:
    Click on it.
    Once you have clicked on the Device, you should see this (Summary) pane, with the word Summary darkened:
    Click on Photos (as ringed above)...
    Now you are on the Photos pane (notice Photos is now darkened), where there is a drop-down menu. It's that box that says "My Pictures", where you will find "Choose Folder". That option allows you to choose (as I did) "My Pictures".
    Notice in the last screenshot that a message at the very top of the image states that the "iPod Sync is complete". Choosing the folder after the Sync has completed (or passed the "sync photos" section) simply means that it requires another Sync for that change to take effect.
    That's it.
    Now, whatever pictures you place in the chosen folder will be added to your iPod at the following Sync. Likewise, any pictures you remove from that folder will be removed from the iPod at the following Sync.
    You only need to look on the Photos pane if you wish to change the folder option.

  • Don't see the button for vanishing point - what gives?

    I just upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to Photoshop CS4, I also have a trial version of After Affects CS4 that I am using. I was trying to create a vanishing point in photoshop to send it to After Effects, and i know I'm supposed to use the little triangle button in the vanishing point screen but the weird thing is that I don't see this button. Do I have to do something to see it?

  • HT4854 Don't see download link for Mountain Lion on 2nd machine

    When I open my app store on a 2nd iMac after installing ML on the 1st (with the same iTunes account), I don't see ML in my 'Purchases' list.  The link for ML shows the price, I'm hesitant to click through in case I'm charged again.  Any thoughts?

    then the mountain lion download is ready , opens the installer ...close them and then make a copy of the osx-installer.app ( in /Applications ) on an external drive or similar ...then re-execute the installer.app...so you do not download the installer twice
    it take some time to appear in purchases (Mountain Lion )...if the download not appear then rebuild the appstore cache
    in Finder the Menu Go to  ----> Go to Folder  ----> /Users/username/Library/Caches  .... there is the folder com.apple.appstore delete this folder , this should be rebuild the cache if you next time start the appstore
    an other solution is the terminal ( Applications/Utilities)
         open the terminal
         cd /Users/username/Library/Caches
         rm -dR com.apple.appstore

  • I would like to be able to have any cookie I choose to accept on a given website be deleated as soon as I leave or close that website so that my surfing does not get tracked from site to site. I don't see an option for that. Is any one working on that?

    I don't want my surfing to tracked from site to site.
    Some sites require cookies be turned on in order to access the data I want or to perform a transaction.
    Right now, I have Firefox set to not accept cookies until I run into a site that requires cookies be accepted.
    Once I need to turn cookies on, I return to "Options" and select accept cookies but not 3rd party cookies.
    I will then be surfing along and occasionally check what cookies have been placed. There may be several placed I did not know were placed. I assume my surfing has been being tracked and I don't like that as a point of privacy.
    Is there a privacy setting I am missing, an application or extension I can download, or is the Mozilla team working on this as a feature?

    As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
    # Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
    # Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
    # Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
    # On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
    # Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
    # Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
    # Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
    That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
    * Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
    * Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
    * Press F5.
    * Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

  • In 4.0, I don't see the icon for Home anymore. Why not?

    I just installed 4.0 but I cannot see the Home icon at the top anymore because it quickly allowed me to do so with earlier versions. All I see now is the address line and the webpage that is open. If I want to go to my home page, I either have to type in google.ca or click on it under Bookmarks. Your earlier version of Firefox allowed me to see a Home page icon at the top left and simply click on it. Any help, thanks.

    By default, the home page icon has been moved to the right side of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

    I have the iPhone 3G and im trying to download instagram and twitter but it's not allowing me to do so because it says I need to update my software.

    The iPhone 3G can't be upgraded beyond 4.2.1. The over the air update requires iOS 5 or higher, thus you won't see it.

  • I like buying from the UK certain items, but now I don't see an option for E-Bay UK

    I used to be able to buy from UK by clicking the British flag (I'm in Canada), anyone know how I can do this now?

    The URL is ebay.co.uk.Bookmark it. Be careful, by the way, eBay UK has introduced the *beloved* Global Shipping Program. This means that while more items are now available to international buyers, any item over $20CDN (approx £10) is going to be charged appropriate Canadian duty and sales tax as well as a service charge of ~$5 before the purchase is completed and the seller can ship.
