RCA to USB interface

I am copying videotapes to DVD. I am using an AKAI combo machine which does the job simply. However, I need to access a screen to set up DVD capacity and also to title and finalize. Can I connect one of the outlets on the AKAI to my iBook? In other words an RCA outlet to USB. I don't need sound, only video. Any help gratefully received. Terry Harvey

Software needed for the USB device, "USB Interface Controller TEST2.0"

My mother recently acquired a digital camera. She acquired it from a second-hand store, which did not include an interface cable or software. The manual (and the USB port on the camera) indicates that a male-male USB cable is necessary for photos to be copied to the hard drive.
I was not successful in locating such a cable at any local electronics store (I assume such a cable is now out-of-date). I purchased one from a seller on eBay. The brand is "e circuit electronics".
Upon powering up the camera with the cable connected to it and the computer, the following message appeared:
"Software needed for the USB device "USB Interface Controller TEST2.0" is not available. Would you like to look for the software on the Internet?"
I clicked "Yes". After an approximate two-minute wait, another message appeared stating:
"Software Update is not able to connect to the Internet. Please check your configuration and try again."
I deleted, "Software Update Preferences" in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder, without solving the problem. How do I solve the issue of allowing Software Update to connect to the Internet?

Thank you for your continued assistance, BDAqua. Unfortunately, the driver you linked to does not seem to be compatible with the camera. It is a driver for the V20 model, whereas my model would correspond to be a V2755, as referenced from a list of other Vivicam models when during a search at the Open Drivers web site.
From the system requirement about the card reader you gave me, it will not work, as this system is running 9.1. I am hesistant to upgrade this computer to 9.2, as I have experienced system unstability with that version, with even the 9.2.2 update applied.
In the mean time, I have e-mailed Vivitar regarding this issue, but have as of yet received a reply.
I am not certain as to other specifics to give you, in order to solve the Software Update problem. Please elaborate.
Yes eww, the computer in question is able to fully connect to the Internet for all that I need. I am fully aware of the difference between a computer connecting to the Internet, and a computer connecting to a digital camera. I have 15 years of Macintosh experience.

How do I add a USB interface back to my network preferences

Help, I mistakenly deleted the usb interface from the list of available interfaces from my network preferences. How do I add it back?

Hello,
I found a website that you can download mail for. I dont know if you can trust the website, but this is just to let you know that it is out there. http://en.softonic.com/s/mail:mac
Also, if you do not want to download that, you can alway have a safari tab open with you email. That also works.

Trying to connect IPhone 4s to TV using AV TV RCA Video USB connector Does this require any special software?

Have been unable to get IPhone 4S to show up on AV TV
Using AV TV RCA Video USB connection. Have tried in
HD 720i, HD 1080i and 1080p TV's. Is there any special
software needed on the I Phone to do this? if so please
advise.

I don't think the dock can support the HDMI dongle. I know it will do Video Out via Composite cable.
The actual dock itself has not been updated for a few years, so this may explain your problem. The packaging was changed last year to include the new remote, dock adapters, and a wall charger. The dock itself is still identical to the 2009 model.

RCA to USB

I would like to import my music library from my reel-to-reel tape recorder into iTunes. The line out on my recorder uses RCA jacks. I've tried looking on-line for a RCA to USB cable, but I can't find one. Does anyone know if such a beast exists, or if not, some work-a-round?
Thanks for any help.
Dave

Just plug a dual-RCA to stereo 1/8 minijack cable, available from just about any electronics, audio or computer store, into the audio input on your iMac. No additional cables or adapters should be needed. All you'll need then is appropriate audio recording software (iTunes cannot record audio inputs). GarageBand will do it, or you can use something simpler such as Audacity (freeware).
Regards.

RCA to USB with macbook air

I want to convert my 8mm cassettes to dvd. My only question is, if I use a RCA to USB and hook it up to my camera and macbook air, what will happen? will it work with any app? will imovie open up after plugging it in? will the device even be recognized?

Easy to do, I used to do same long ago.
You will need to have a video converter APP installed, Imovie, or otherwise.
heres the converter:

IPhone 5 not working properly with USB interface in Honda Accord.

The iPhone 5 seems not to work properly with the USB interface in my 2012 Honda Accord. It says I have 500 songs when I only have 430, it skips over songs and freezes during play.

I actually have a different problem. I am unable to play Pandora through my USB connection in my 2012 Honda Accord SE with my iPhone 5. I can't get map directions through my speakers or any sounds at all. Any idea if a fix will be available?

Setting output to onboard and input to USB interface ?

Hi all,
Does somebody now a way to "split" the input and output in logic?
What I want is using my Alesis USB interface for the incoming signals and the onboard (headphone) output for the the master output. The reason is, when recording guitars through ie Amplitube, the Alesis interface is giving both the clean guitar input signal and the processed signal form Logic back on the output. There's no way to stop the clean input signal going to the output... IF there's a way to set the output to onboard, I only monitor the Logic output.
In Garageband you can easily set both the input and output in Preferences, but Logic only gives me the option to select the soundcard for both in and output.
I hope someone can help me out. Thanks a lot
Kind regards,
Martijn

You may be able to configure your interface to do this...
But if not, you can create an aggregate device (in Audio MIDI setup - may be in Applications>Utilities).

Audio problems with an USB interface

Hi everyone, this is my first post and glad to finally do it.
I am so pleased with arch linux, it's just simply amazing. I have learnt a lot following the wikis, it's pretty simple and effective.
I managed to install and configure ssh server, samba server (surprisingly easy), usb samsung laser printer, nvidia drivers, KDE desktop (so fast in arch), fonts, cpu scaling and I'm so happy with the results and perfomance.
The only problem I ran into is about audio, I think the wiki on audio is pretty incomplete (don't get me wrong I enjoy your work).
The problem is with an USB interface line 6 toneport gx (http://line6.com/toneportgx/), I know the device is meant to be an usb guitar interface but since I don't longer play guitar I use it as soundcard. As complementary information it works with no problem on Ubuntu 10.04 (which is the distro I came from).
The interface works and it's unmuted since I dmix does not work when I try to play sounds from different sources I had to install pulseaudio. Pulseaudio works partially, the sound was improved and finally I am able to play different sources. The big problem is when high cpu load ocurrs the the audio dies and does not come back even when the cpu loads decrease.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You may want to debug pulseaudio (check their wiki to see how, involves running pulseaudio in verbose mode) to see what happens.

Contructing an RS-232 interface using USB interfaces Digital IO

Hi,
I've got a NI USB interfaces to work with, which has plenty of digital IO available (USB 6259)
I need to communicate via RS-232 with a few instruments, which I've already done using USB to RS-232 devices.
However, I would like to do everything on a single NI USB DAQ interface. Is it possible to use a few digital lines from the USB 6259 to create an RS-232? It seems that this would be relatively straightforward, but I haven't heard of this being done.

Not recommended. Voltage levels are different, no FIFO of communication, no UART that does bit sampling and error checking, no clock for data, a lot harder than you think it would be.

Capture videos from rca to usb?

trying to capture videos off the vcr. i'm using an RCA to USB cable. i don't see the option anywhere. is it a limitation of the trial version or it's not possible with premiere elements? is there an adobe software that will allow me to capture from my vhs? or do i have to use another software to capture then use PE to edit?

You can't use most low-end capture cards or devices or capture video via USB if you plan to edit it in Premiere Elements, w. The resultant video won't be a format the program can work with.
The FAQs to the right of this forum discuss DV bridges, devices which can capture almost any video as DV-AVIs, the video format Premiere Elements and virtually all PC-based video editors prefer to work with.

Usb interface not on aggregate structure list

when i pull up my aggregate device box the structure list only has only built in components listed what do i do to get my usb interface on there?

The problem lies with Tascam and their inability to write stable drivers for OS X... and isn't anything to do with Logic Pro ..
As you know, you are not the only person to have had this issue and the reality is, while the 1641 might work fine with Windows, when it comes to OS X Macs.. it's an entirely different story... depending on the version of OS XS you are running.
The one tip I have read, that seemed to fix it for most people.. (Though not all) is as follows;
(Thanks to Paulypaulpaul for this)
-uninstall your tascam driver 2.10
-restart
-install driver 1.03
-restart
-plug in your tascam
-goto where you download your drivers (http://tascam.com/product/us-1641/downloads/), scroll down to the bottom where it says firmware, Download the firmware 1.02 (3rd from top under firmware), install it. your control panal should now read 1.03 for your drivers and 1.02 for your firmware.
-install drivers 2.10
-restart
Follow each of the steps exactly.. including all restarts when indicated..
...and good luck...

Recommendations for Electric Guitar to USB interface?

I'm interested in purchasing a guitar-to-USB interface for my MacBook Pro. This Spring '11 model does not have an audio input jack, so a 1/4" to 1/8" converter is not an option. Can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive interface that works well with the amps offered in GarageBand (v.6.0.4)? Thanks!

All Macbook Pros have audio input. It probably shares the same jack as the headphone.
Both the gain and the impedance are wrong for an electric guitar pickup, not a good idea.
Why not a good idea. It's cheep, it works and thousands of people do this every day.
Of course a audio interface is the way to go but if you just want to mess around with with garageband or do the guitar lessons there is no problem using the audio input.
Some single coil pickups may not have enough gain to get a good signal.

How can I use USB interface in Labview?

Hi.
Does labview allow to USB interface?
I have been seen allowing GPIB and RS232.
I'm beginer at Labview and wanna use USB interface for my target system and pc.
I wanna know how to labview interfaces from target system to pc.
And if Labview doesn't provide USB interface module, how can I use USB?
Is using a USB at Labview hard to beginer?
Plz, answer to my quetion.
sorry, my English is very poor.
thx for reading my article.

You can access devices connected to the USB port, but not in the same way as you would a GPIB or RS232 device. There are no USB drivers like there is VISA for GPIB or serial. Rather devices that plug into the USB appear to the systen as some sort of standard resource like a printer, disk drive or IO board. LabVIEW then interacts with these devices as it would any other device of the same type.Look at it this way, if you have a USB daq device you will access it through MAX the same as if it were a plugin card.
