Microphone for iPad 1?

Hello,
I've been all over Amazon.com trying to find a microphone for my iPad 1.
I'm starting the class next week and I want to record the lectures using something other than the built-in microphone on my iPad. Amazon has lots of inexpensive microphones for Apple devices, but I'm not seeing a clear choice for the iPad.
Can someone recommend a microphone that plugs into the iPad that would give me better quality than the built in microphone?
Thanks in advance!
Chris

  • What is the best external microphone for iPad Air? Primarily for interviews...

    I produce DSLR videos and record audio separately, then both are synced on my iMac. I used to use my iPod Touch (4th Gen) as a pocket mic with my Seinheiser lavalier, but it died in a tragic wash/dry cycle and I now use my new iPad Air.
    Unfortunately, my Seinheiser mic is designed with a screw-on mic input, which rattles and pops my audio from time to time. I am familiar with the very inexpensive iRig line (and their accompanying mobile apps), but you get what you pay for and I am looking to invest in something higher quality.
    The Air is pretty new and I dont expect there to be a lot of options, but given the limitations of the headphone port, I am hoping for the best.
    Much appreciated!

    For the absolute best sound quality check out the Apogee MiC Pro. You will not be disappointed.

  • Do iPads and most tablets have a microphone for Skype.

    Do iPads and most tablets have a microphone for  Skype?

    Yes.
    iPad has a built in microphone for facetime and skype calls.
    As for other tablets, it depends on the manufacturer whether they include a mic or not.

  • Is their a way to adjust the input for the built in microphone for my iPad?

    Is their a way to adjust the input for the built in microphone for my iPad? What it is recording is so quiet I can barely hear anything when it plays.
    Output works fine with videos and music, but not when I record something.
    The sound is all the way up during the recording and during playback.

    Hi!
    Generarly speaking you can't but some apps have that build-it to them. For your sound issues I recommend checking app settings.
    There have been reports that some iPads had defective or disconnected microphones.  You may need to show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If they agree it is bad, you may get a new iPad on the spot.
    If there is no Apple Store near you, search for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

  • Complaints for iPad 2/Customer Support

    Please bear with me, I am new and extremely dissatisfied/frustratedwith Apple’s hardware, software and customer support.
    I received my apple iPad 2 the day before yesterday (orderedthrough AAFES).  I am abroad working inKuwait with the military.  I charged thedevice (of course with the supplied charger and cable), plugged it into mylaptop, which has the most recent iTunes, registered my product and powered iton.  After less than a minute of checkingthe device I noticed a dead (not misfired, but dead) pixel.  My first reactive step was to reset the ipad,hoping that would help.  Reset was successful, but did not correct the dead pixel. I then connected to the net through my wifi router and d/l a couple basecolor photos to see if this would show some reaction from the pixel, the pixeldid not change… it’s dead.
    I took the iPad 2 to the nearest distributor in Kuwait.  The representative verified that it was adead pixel and notified me that Kuwait doesn’t “officially” support iPad 2 yetand that they have just gained the support for iPad 1 and that I must contactApple in the States.
    I went through the motions and attempted to do an RMA through the net… BUT, Apple will not mail a device to an APO (their reasoninghad something to do with signature confirmation not being available at APO…which I know as a fact is bogus because I work for the APO and yes, we sign forALL accountable items… delivery confirmation, insured, certified and registeredmail on the PS Form 3883 and when a customer picks up their parcel, they sign aPS Form 3849, so please Apple, get your information straight!).  So because of this dilemma, I had to call thecustomer service center.
    Luckily I have VOIP because it’s roughly $1 to $2 a minuteto call the US from Kuwait (no, 800 numbers aren’t toll free for internationalcalls, just in case anyone did not know that). The representative was kind and curious, so no complaint with himpersonally.  He asked me to go to a localstore, I filled him in on all the steps I took and asked if I can just ship itto a service center and if they could send me a shipping label (yes, Apple,good customer service departments actually DO pay for a shipping label), he putme on hold to see if he could get approval from senior officer, I mean seniorsupport specialist (I’m guessing it was a “lead” and not a “supervisor”).  He told me that was a no go.  He asked when I would be in America on leave…this is not an option for me in my position. The ONLY option he could give me was for me to ship my device to a friend/familymember, have them go to a retail store, have them “test” the device, then havemy family member/friend ship it back to me. This is very very very problematic for me for soooo many reasons.  First off, it seemed as though, through hisvoice/tone that they would not replace my item with a new item… meaning, theywould repair the BRAND NEW LEMON for me. Second thing is, my only point of contact, my mother, is inFayetteville/Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. The rep told me that the nearest service center is in Raleigh, NorthCarolina.  That is about a two hourdrive, or course depending on traffic; meaning my mom, would have to dedicate aminimum of 4 hours driving.  Next issueis economics, gas is not cheap, and my mom drives a (constant) 4x4 FordExplorer… $$$.  Not Apple’s fault, Iknow.  Next thing is, if they arerepairing the device, how long would that take? She would probably have to drop it off and pick it up later on in theweek.  That now puts us to 8 hours of traveltime, and pretty much two days out of my mom’s schedule.  And the last issue would be, I should now berequired to keep a LEMON.  I want a brandnew, fully functional device, THAT is what I paid for.
    How can a company which, according to its June earningsreport, has $76.2 billion in cash and marketable securities treat theirconsumers in such a fashion??? (According to the latest statement from the US Treasury, the governmenthas a cash balance of $73.8 billion, as of Wednesday, FYI.)  This is total and utter bullsh*t.
    I will next rant about my hates about their software; I mustremind you that I’m a newb to iTunes and supporting software (I own a coupleiPod classics and had an iPhone 1, but the software continues to mutate).
    The iPad 2 Safari browser will not natively allow one todownload… anything.  But for $5 you cango ahead and pay Apple $5 to buy their Safari downloader.
    In order to download “FREE” apps from iTunes, you MUST enter your creditinformation… Apple has two work-arounds for this, you can BUY an iTunes prepaidcard… um, guys, please define to me the word, FREE; next (as the rep told me onthe phone) I can register with my credit card, and delete it out later on…hmmmmm I bet it is still saved on the server. Anyone know what just happened to Sony’s network recently?  Yeah, I’m wondering about the legality ofthis, but I’m not a lawyer and US e-laws are about 20 years out dated anyways.
    As I said earlier, I reset my device, from the device.  I tried to do this again, and it would justhang on the black screen with the apple logo and a non-responsive statusbar.  So I tried to reset through iTunes.  You can’t just reset the device,you are REQUIRED to have an internet connection and download the newestsoftware.  This is fine if you’re always plugged in, I might not even complain if I was in the US right now… but torequire that is ridiculous… not to mention, if one were to have their device jailbroken (yup, Apple, you lost in court, so deal with it… not just in America,America took a long time to finally tell you that, MULTIPLE countries sewed you and found your tactics unlawful); this makes it difficult to use you free,non-big-brother approved software.
    You cannot natively test your video, audio or microphone quality.  Wow, you guys could at leastload an Apple commercial on your device so someone could watch and listen toit.  So I have to d/l skype just to testmy microphone (I’m sure there are many other programs, but the fact that I haveto go out of my way just to make sure the device works, is just, wow, non-expletivesjust can’t explain it).
    And last, and probably least, they could have put a couple songs, videos, pictures or games on there. Not a big deal, but if this is supposed to be such an awesome device,Apple, show it off, don’t just advertise and trick the end users into believingthat they will have a nifty device right out of the box.  Do you other users actually pay the extracouple hundred dollars for your programs like Apple wants?.. or are you alljail breaking and unlocking?
    I’m sorry to all you die hard Apple lovers if you areoffended, and I’m sorry if I’m naïve or maybe a little ignorant to the “Appleway of life,” but if Microsoft did this, everyone would flip out.  Heck, they got sued for adding extra stuff totheir OS; but, it’s ok for Apple to make their devices so minimalistic that it’shardly better than a word processor with web browsing capability and a couplecameras?  I like my Kindle a lot more, it’san ebook, advertised as an ebook, works as an ebook, and they added some cool extras like text to voice and web browsing.
    Ok, I’m done for now. Can anyone please give me some information on how I can get this POS replaced with a brand new, in the box, sealed and fully functional (lol, well,as functional as the iPad 2’s come, out of the box)?  If not, how can I spread my complaint as farand wide as possible?  And with that,does anyone know the buyer’s remorse policy on electronics?  (oh, AAFES won’t give one ounce of supportfor Apple products, normally they would give a 15 day, but for Apple, becausethere have been SO MANY issues, they no longer assist, as a matter of fact,when you buy an Apple device from them, you have to sign a paper saying thatyou understand that if the device is defective or inoperable in any way, thatyou will not ask AAFES for help… at least in the local PX’s here.)
    PS I appologize for the typoeees, I cut and pasted all this and for some reason it smushed some of the words together.

    I’m not quite sure what you’re referencing as“misinformation” or “ridiculous statements,”
    I was referring to these:
    The iPad 2 Safari browser will not natively allow one todownload… anything.
    Not true. It can download PDFs and Images. iOS apps are downloaded through the AppStore. But not allowing you to download just any old files is what keeps iOS free of viruses and malware. It's a security feature.
    pay Apple $5 to buy their Safari downloader.
    Not true. Apple does not make and charge for any Safari Downloader app.
    In order to download “FREE” apps from iTunes, you MUST enter your creditinformation…
    Not true, as the link posted above proves.
    So I tried to reset through iTunes.
    No you didn't. You can't reset the device through iTunes. You can restore it, which means re-installing the OS, which of course requires an internet connection to download it.
    if one were to have their device jailbroken (yup, Apple, you lost in court, so deal with it…
    Not true. Apple didn't lose anything in court. They never even went to court. It was the Copyright Office.
    MULTIPLE countries sued you and found your tactics unlawful
    Not true. No countries have sued Apple.
    You cannot natively test your video, audio or microphone quality.
    Not true. iPad is designed to be synced with iTunes, which is where your music and video is stored. The AppStore has many easily downloadable free apps that use the microphone. Videos and music can both very easily be played in the web browser.
    they could have put a couple songs, videos, pictures or games on there.
    Why? Your iTunes Library should already have songs and videos in. Pictures are easily obtainable, and so are many free games. People would complain like crazy if Apple put loads of crap nobody asked for on their iPad from new like you get on a Windows PC.
    don’t just advertise and trick the end users into believing that they will have a nifty device right out of the box.
    The iPad does everything it is advertised as doing right out of the box. But you will need videos, music and games to put on it. Same as a CD player plays CDs out of the box, but you need CDs to play on it. A car will take you on journeys, but you need gas to put in it.
    Do you other users actually pay the extra couple hundred dollars for your programs like Apple wants?.
    Of course people buy apps for their devices. There are hundreds of thousands of apps available. You expect Apple to provide you with every app ever made for free, pre-installed? Get real! People also buy applications for computers and other electronic devices, like they buy CDs for their CD player, DVDs for their DVD player. Nobody expects the manufacturers to provide them for free.
    it’s ok for Apple to make their devices so minimalistic that it’s hardly better than a word processor with web browsing capability and a couple cameras?
    If you had read reviews of the iPad and read the product info pages on Apple's website, you would've known EXACTLY what the iPad comes with in terms of hardware and software. It's all there in black and white.
    I like my Kindle a lot more, it’s an ebook, advertised as an ebook, works as an ebook
    The iPad does everything exactly as advertised - if it didn't, Apple would be in trouble with advertising regulators all over the world. Millions of people like the iPad, but if you prefer the Kindle, why buy an iPad? That makes no sense at all.
    I have seen and read dozens upon dozens of reviews on the iPad and iPad 2…
    Hmmm... somehow I doubt it. If you had, there is absolutely no way you could've had so much misinformation and misconceptions about what the iPad is, does, and comes with.

  • Using iTouch microphone for voice memos - What do I need?

    From what I understand the 2nd Gen touch has the capability to record if one uses an external microphone. Griffin makes something called a "Thumbtack" microphone for $12.99 but says you also need to purchase a "2nd party app" to use the feature. Is this correct?
    They also say that you have to transmit the voice memos to your PC over an email not by direct upload over a sync cable. Is this accurate?
    Any help would be appreciated as I am new to the touch. I also have a 5th Gen Nano which, from what I've read, works the same way......

    sharepoint could definitely be acessed from a browser on an iOS device....you might want to start with the enterprise deployment guide..the question you have is a big one and there are a lot of operational issues.....the deployment guide will start with how to implement iOS devices in an enterprise environment...

    hope this helps as a starting point...

  • Do cases/covers for iPad mini 1 fit iPad mini 2 with it being 2mm thicker in depth?

    Hi
    Just wondering do cases/covers for iPad mini 1 fit iPad mini 2? Only some people say they do, some say they don't what with it being 2mm thicker in depth &amp; having an extra microphone?
    Thanks in advance

    To be sure stop by the Apple Store, tell them you're thinking about getting a mini and you'd like to see if it would fit  in your case. Don't try it without first asking.

  • Looking for All-In-One Sudoku Game App for iPad?

    Bare with me...  I'm going to learn now if this is an appropriate question here and if not where to go that would be appropriate?
    I'm looking for a great iPad Sudoku game app that offers a variety of different format variations using numbers 1-9, different colors, and different shapes--that sort of thing...instead of just the common numbers.  I'm not concerned about scoring the game or tracking time or the leaderboard stuff.
    I've looked and found a gillion to consider including Google and looked at some for more detail but so far have found none...and maybe none exist or maybe I'll have to settle for two or three separate Sudoku games to fullfill what I'm after?
    So maybe someone in the community knows of just the Sudoku app I'm looking for?
    Thank you.

    A quick Google search provided the following:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sudoku-hd-for-ipad/id364909963?mt=8
    I don't know if it offers exactly what you want, but you can check the App Store, or you can go to Google and type the following in your search bar:  apple sodoku app ipad
    Several options will come up.

  • Logical symbols in pages for IPad? Asking for help

    I have a new IPad and I would like to define logical symbols on my keyboard (just like ą, ę and so on). Is there some way to do it and to use it in PAGES for IPad? I would prefer to have few math symbols defined directly under some bottoms and not to use copy/paste. (I tried to find in Pages for IPad some special characters, but there are no such things, perhaps it is possible to add it?) I have also small separated keybord (perhaps this could be somehow used...?)

    Afraid you cannot define custom characters for any keyboard in the iPad. What accented characters there are can be shown by holding the appropriate letter down.

  • My rue la la app for ipad suddenly dosent work so I deleted it now when I try to reinstall it the app store says that it not available in the us. It is still on my Iphone and working properly. What is this all about?

    My rue la la app for ipad stopped working. I deleted the app and tried to reinstall it,  it is no longer available in the app store and when I research it on safari and find it when i try to install it says that it is not available in the us store. What is that all about?

    My app did the exact same thing. It is still unavailable on the App Store and when Rue La La's site directs you to download their app, the "not available in the U.S. message appears. This happened to me last night. The app wasn't working, I deleted it and was just going to reinstall but was unable to find the app. I figured it was some glitch but I have tried multiple times this afternoon to no avail.

  • Cox BUSINESS Email Setup for iPad

    I have a *Cox Business* internet account (business accounts are *different from* residential accounts - different servers, etc) with a static ip address and I cannot send email from my iPad via wi-fi Airport network. (Wi-Fi only iPad, not 3G.)
    There was a time when I had it working, but a simple one sentence email would take over 10 minutes to send. It was odd. Now it's not sending at all.
    My incoming email is through my business email account (via GoDaddy) and it works well. No issues.
    Currently, the outgoing settings on my iMac work great for my iMac, but don't seem to translate to the iPad. These iMac setting are:
    *iMac Outgoing Email Settings:*
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smarthost.coxmail.com
    Custom port: 25
    Authentication: none
    *iPad Outgoing settings* that previously worked (sort of):
    Host name: smarthost.coxmail.com
    User: blank
    Pass: blank
    Use SSL: Off
    Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response (it will NOT set to password - will not "stick" or save on exit)
    Server Port: 587
    +Any help would be appreciated.+

    I had actually written a message previously that I just deleted explaining that what you had written doesn't work. I've tried it several times and it made no difference.
    Then, I did something that I have not attempted or noticed:
    I reset the outgoing cox settings to match my iMac settings listed above (that previously would not work), BUT in the order of listed outgoing servers my mobileme outgoing server (which actually works for outgoing MobileMe emails; don't know why) was listed first in the Primary slot.
    It was "On" and I turned it "off" leaving only my cox outgoing settings turned on and it is in the secondary/backup slot. I then sent a test email and it worked just fine.
    So the answer is that the settings for ipad outgoing cox business email are the same as your mac/computer, but do not have your MobileMe outgoing server turned on and, for some reason, do not have the cox server set in the primary slot. For example, if I put the cox server in the primary slot then it doesn't work anymore. Weird.
    If you do not have MobileMe then I'm not sure what to say, but I have tried these settings with cox being the only outgoing server in the primary slot and it did not work... For me.

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

Maybe you are looking for
