I need help recording phone calls on new iMac

I have long recorded landline phone calls on my old iMac using the microphone jack and audacity.
The new iMac does not have a microphone jack. I have tried a USB microphone adapter from Radio Shack and two different cables from KV Connection, one of which was recommended by an in-store Apple Genius. Nothing has worked.
The phone is connected to a radio shack telephone recording control.
27-inch iMac purchased this month. Running Mavericks.
Everything still works fine on my old iMac, which I have set up again and placed next to the new computer. This is not an ideal set up. I am very disappointed this new computer has less functionality than my old one.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Dwoodrn

try an external usb audio card like this

likely comes with better manual and description how you get it to work then some generic usb mic adapter

  • Need help with setting up a new iMac

    I tried to use Migration Assistant to set up my new iMac. I transferred data from PPB G5 10.5.8 but MA hung at "less than one min. remaining" so I closed the window. Is there any way to erase what has been transferred and start over again with transferring from G5 to iMac? Can I partition the iMac disk to put Boot Camp on one disk so I can use my WIndows applications?

    Personally I would just try to Migrate the data again, if it hangs just leave it to it, its more than likely trying to work out where to put the files or even might be re-writting bits of data to move your files from the older OS to the newer OS, given that the file structures are bound to be slightly different. Give it a chance and see how it goes.
    As for boot camp as fas as I know it comes with it installed so I don't see any reason you couln't install windows on the iMac, why you would want to it another matter.

    It's not illegal everywhere.

  • Recording phone call

    are their any program for recording phone call
    NOKIA : 5130 XpressMusic

    No, you will need to buy a smartphone if you require that feature.  Your phone is too basic for that feature as it cannot run recording software whilst a call is in progress.
    Any of nokia's smartphones will allow you to do that easily.

  • Data usage recorded phone calls

    Is there any way to stop the recorded phone calls from Comcast when you exceed your allotted data usage? I don't mind texts, but running to the phone to find out something I already know is a bit annoying.

        Hi reignman75056!
    Thanks for the post! It's a great idea to monitor your data usage! Your actual phone calls will not take away from your monthly allowance. Do you check your usage by dialing #DATA, or on My Verizon? That would be the best way to monitor the usage that is taken from your allowance. Let us know if you need anything else!

  • Need help activating Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon for iphone 6 business account

    I need help activating Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon for iphone 6 business account. I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour and they can't figure out why it's not working. I'm trying to activate the Voice & Data and all I get is a spinning circle but it never actually works. Anyone have any ideas?

    I just pulled this from the Verizon page. Not sure if it applies to you or not, but it could explain part of your problem since you identify this as a business account.
    Q: Who is eligible for Advanced Calling 1.0?
    A: Any Verizon customer with a compatible phone and a postpaid calling plan is eligible. Please note that the following features are currently incompatible with Advanced Calling 1.0: Ringback Tones and Caller Name ID.  Additional incompatible features apply for Business and Government customers.

  • I need help in finding all the new fontsin iPad 2 using iOS  5

    I need help in finding all the new fonts in ipad 2 using ios 5

    You cannot change the email font. You can make it bold, italics and underline the type, but Helvetica is your only choice in the mail app.
    In the notes app you have 3 choice Noteworthy, Helvetica and Marker Felt. The font can be changed in Settings>Notes>Font.
    You can only use fonts that are built into the app that you are using at the time. You cannot pick and choose fonts from a list of all of the fonts that may be on the iPad but only from the list of fonts that the app allows.

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!

  • Is it possible to record phone calls?

    I'd like to be able to record phone calls with my iphone.
    Is this possible & is it high quality?
    Perhaps there is a really good app to buy?

    Firstly, there are varied rules in different countries as to the legality of recording telephone conversations - some its outright illegal, others its legal and in some its legal if one party to the calls knows and in more yet, its only legal if both parties know its being done. This will be part of why Apple have not provided the feature.
    The second is much simpler - you cannot run a third party App at the same time as anything else except the iPod feature. having the App would be pointless as an incoming call would close the App down - there is no way around this.
    The features you list are unlikely to come about as they would fall under the first category above - borderline or illegal depending upon where you are.
    As the App would interact with the audio channel and the dialling features it again, would never gain Apple approval IMO as it interferes with the core facilities and could be used to hijack your dialling and hence run up large bills.
    Simple solution - pocket recorder, next to the phone, with the phone on speaker.
    Its not ideal but I don't believe there is a solution out there for you.

  • What should we call the new iMac G5 ?

    The first G5's are referred to as Rev. A
    The next were Rev. B
    I like what OWC calls the new iMac's, "iMac Slim"
    Any other good names?

    "The second version was distinguished by the Ambient Light Sensor, the third by built-in iSight."
    For clarity's sake, I like "just plain" iMacG5 Version 1, (2 or 3) inasmuch as there is more to each version than the "distinguishing feature." AND the "distinguishing feature" might not be the selling point to a prospective buyer whereas the other features might be.
