IPod Touch - voice recorder ...?

I've been hearing a bit of buzz around the hacker(s) who built an external device that plugs into the iPod Touch and records sound.
The reason I came across this info, is because I'm looking to purchase a digital voice recorder as a christmas gift for my boyfriend (who owns already owns a Touch). He once had a 3rd-party device that attached to his older iPod, that allowed him to record. With all this hacking going on, does anyone know if apple or other companies are already in the works of developing such a product? In this case, my idea for purchasing a (sony/ olympus...) voice recorder is not so exciting. I'm sure he rather have the extra piece to stick into his iPod Touch, rather than carrying around a clunk of gadgets. Anyone know of such plans? Is this a few years away? or coming up sooner than I imagine?
Thanks for your thoughts!

thanks VIP- but I don't think I'll be buying parts for marion to build for me. Even if it means spending a lot more on a brand, I just feel more comfortable purchasing the actual released product.
Or, since so many people are writing up on eok & marion, maybe I'll keep watching over the next week or two to see if people have been using it.
Is this device risky? Is there a chance of it screwing up the iPod?

Why Isn't My iPod Touch 5G Recording Any Audio on Video, Why Isn't My iPod Touch 5G Recording Any Audio on Video

Out of no where my iPod Touch 5G Stopped recording Audio. When I try to take a video, after I listen to it I can only hear a quiet hissing sound. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Some other 5G users have reported hardware problems with their mics. If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchnage it at no cost

My new (8/2012) iPod Touch: voice control suddenly activates on its own. Is there a reason for this and how do you get it to stop?

For reasons unknown to me, my brand new ipod touch keeps activating Voice Control. I am not pressing the home button or touching any controls. I can be doing nothing with it and it just kicks on, sometimes interrupting what is already going on (like listening to an audio book in the Audible app. Is there a reason for this and how do I stop it?

Press the Home Button 3 Times... then goto > Settings > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Off
Next... Try this...
Close All Open Apps and Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Why does my iPod Touch stop recording videos when it says low battery

OK I would record a long video, about 20 minutes to be approximate. In the middle of my recording, my iPod tells me my battery is low - I have 20% of battery left. But when the message shows up, it stops recording my video and shows a closed lens on the camera!!!
Then I have to force close the app then restart it. Then I have to make a second video. Is there anyway to tell the iPod Touch low battery warning to shut the f**k up and stop interrupting and stopping my recordings? It is VERY annoying. Please reply soon.

Not that I know of. The 20% warning is like the low fuel light on your car's gas tank, it doesn't know when you'll run out of gas only that it's soon. The reason it stops what your doing is to protect the battery. Completely discharging the battery is very bad for the battery and shortens the life of the battery. Hope this helps, Good luck.

IPod Touch Video Recording

I was just wondering if anyone here knew about how to or if there is video recording for the iPod Touch. I'm talking about recording the actual screen of the iPod. I know there are ways to do it with a jail broken iPod touch, but jail breaking messed up my last iPod so I really don't want a repeat of that. Does Apple have any software downloads or apps out that can do this? I know that you can take a picture of your screen, so video recording would just be the next step up. If they don't have anything for it, I was also wondering if anyone knows if they are researching on how to do this or are waiting for a new release of the iPod touch to test it out. Thank you in advance.

I did take the video with the back camera. I emailed the video as an attachment and downloaded it. Under the file’s properties, the video image resolution is listed as 320x568. Is it possible that the either the camera or mail application compress the frame size?

Ipod touch Voice/wont scroll down

My Ipod touch recently "froze" up in a way. It will open things but not fast and it wont scroll down it is hard to "slide" to power off and "slide" to unlock... and the voice command is on but we cant get to the options to turn it off. any suggestions. and how do you find out your restictions passcode?

Restoring covered on page 214 of the following users Guide. You want to restore from backup.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
Since you do not know the passcode, if it asks for the passcode place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. See the following for recovery mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Restoring will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the most recent backup and what is in the itunes library since some things like music are not in the backup. Like all things, restoring has a risk that something can happen and the iPod can just be erased. In that case you have to rebuidd the iPod.

IPod Touch Voice Control?

Does the iPod Touch OS 3.0 support voice control (an app that comes with iPhone OS 3.0)?

Yes, but you need to buy a compatible headphones, such as the "Apple Headphones" in the Apple Store. They are $30, but also come with a built-in controller. I bought them, and love them, but unfortunately they are lost in the blackhole known as my room.
EDIT: Oh happy day, oh happy day! I just found my headphones behind my giant shelf! Hooray!

Ipod mini voice recorder?

I am looking for a way to record voices with my ipod mini. Any suggestions?

I do believe there is a extra accessory where you can record noise straight onto your iPod, though i am not sure it is still out.
Or, you can just use GarageBand and export your recording to iTunes and add it to your iPod, if you have a PC, i am sure it would work with the voice recording program it has.
Hope this helps.

IPod Touch screen recording?

Hello everyone!
I am curious if there is possibility to record your screen as you saw when Jobs was doing the introduction of this product? Or make the question simpler, how did he does it?

That will not work.
The cable you have mentioned will only output Photos and Video from the ipod, it does not show what is on the ipod screen as you are using it.

Recording on iPod Touch

This question may or may not belong on this particular forum. If not, I would appreciate being directed to the appropriate forum. I am interested in the iPod Touch's recording ability. I am a writer. A lot of ideas and phrasing for works in progress come to me when I am running errands or doing something else that precludes holding the device in my hand. I also need a way to get this information to my MacBook Pro and translate it to text. Is this possible with the iPod Touch? Are there better solutions addressed elsewhere.
From my research, I have found lots of good recording devices that do all of the above for PCs, but if they do it for Macs, they only support long-replaced OS X.x.x. I am in a quandry.

- I am not aware of any apps that star recording automatically.
- I do not know if Voice memo has a length/time limit. The paid Voxie Pro Recrder has unlimited length and has a transcription service available.
- There is the Dragon Dictation app that coverts speach to text. Ir says you can emal the transcription. It requires an internet connection since the transcription is done in the cloud, not on the iPod.

HT201406 In my Ipod touch 8GB a box like thing appears when I try to open any application along with a voice over. When I tried switching it off, it says voice over always on in the settings and makes it impossible to turn it off. pls help.

In my ipod touch, voice over is activated and when I try to turn it off in settings it says "MUSIC VOICE CONTROL ALWAYS ENABLED". this box like thing also makes it difficult for me to access all my applications or scroll. Pls tell me some suggesstions.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:

How to Copy a file from iPod Touch to iMac

I have used the native "Voice Recorder" app on an iPod Touch to record lectures. Generally, when the iPod is synced with the iMac, the files are copied from the iPod to the iMac and are located in "Voice Memos" on the iMac. I have two files that didn't copy to the iMac. They are still on the iPod. I have rebooted both machines several times and tried to sync afterward. The two files remain on the iPod, but aren't on the iMac. I would like to transfer the files to a thumb drive, but I cannot access them on the iPod in order to copy or move them.
From what I've read, there used to be a function in iTunes that was "enable disk use". Then you could view the memory of the iPod and move or copy files.
The iPod has iOS 5.1.1. It is a modelMC008LL. The iMac has OS X 10.7.3, 2.93 GHz Intel processor, 24" screen, and was produced in 2009.

I used iFunBox to access the files. I was not able to copy them to the "Voice Memos" directory on the iMac, but they copied fine to the Desktop on the iMac. That is puzzling to me.
Using iFunBox, I looked at a directory on the iPod called Raw File System. I was looking at voice memos. Several had five or more duplicates. The duplicates aren't visible on the iPod itself. I also found a Quick Time Movie file that I didn't recall. When I launched it, there was only sound. It was a voice memo that I had recorded five years ago. After recording it, I could not find it on the iPod. It appeared to be deleted and I had been careful to not delete it. I don't understand how it ended up as an .mov file as opposed to an .m4a file. The iFunBox app showed that file under the Raw File System and also under the Voice Memos directory.
I like the audio quality of the Voice Memo recordings, but its file handling is quirky.
Thank you for suggesting iFunBox. It allowed me to solve the problem of getting two files off of the iPod that I couldn't do in the normal way and I discovered and recovered a file that had been hidden for five years.
