Recording LPs into my computer

How do you input audio from a turntable to record onto the computer? I have an HP G71-34OUS Notebook.

Here is a link to an article in PC Magazine with a reasonable explanation of digitizing music from LP records. You can find schematics of interface amplifiers that will do that in electronics magazines online. You can either make them yourself if you have a bit of tech talent or buy them premanufactured.

When I put a Pre Recorded CD into my computer it's not showing up on I-tunes file?

When I put a Pre Recorded CD into my computer it's not showing up on my i-tunes file, does anybody know why?

In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show SIdebar. After inserting the music CD, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.

Recording tv into computer somehow....?

hello.
This may be a rediculous, amateur question, but is it possible to record tv into a computer?
Not necessarily live, but even a feed from a VCR while playing a pre-recorded tape.
Basically, what I'm trying to do, is be able to watch a previously recorded show without having to be home.......at my leisure, on my lap top.
I'm an avid sports fan, and I tape many games, and I just never have the time to watch them at home. But away from home, I always find a few hours of down time, and it would be awesome to have the games on my lap top in some kind of format.......
thank you.

If you have recorded these in an analogue way (as most older VCRs do) then you'll need a gadget to convert it to a digital format when you want it on your laptop. There are various to choose from, including dedicated bits of harware for the job as well as some digital camcorders.
If you use something like eyeTV then you can record direct to a hard drive anyway and it is all digital - you can view the footage as and when you ahve time by using your laptop.
Finally, if you record on a DVD recorder then the footage can be stored on a DVD and you can watch it whenever you like... !

Recording sound directly from a DVD into your computer

Can you record sound directly into your computer from a DVD playing on your computer?

Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

Capturing HD video directly into my computer using HDD Cam & FCE 3.5

I have a JVC Everio GZ-HD7. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how "crappy" these HDD cams can be, in time to be able to return it. It records in 4GB sections, which is bad for me because I record at a studio and I can't have songs being cut off all the time and when trying to put together on the timeline on FCE, you notice the millisecond switch from one clip to another, including the audio skip. Now, I had a DV Cam (tape) which came with a program that I connected the cam to the comp using USB and could capture video straight into my computer's HDD. Is there anyway of doing the same thing with my JVC, which has Firewire and USB, using IMovie or FCE, or perhaps even another program (could be cheap too)?? I just need to be able to record entire clips and then edit them in FCE. The GZ-HD7 records in Full HD, 1440CBR and SD, but apparently 1440CBR is the "same thing" as HDV, which should work as if I had a HD Tape Cam. PLEEEASE and help! Ive tried looking everywhere but either I dont type in the correct keywords or there just isnt anything like that. I appreciate it!

i didnt read this topic too much but maybe youre not recording to the hard disk just the external medi drive... anyway... if your having trouble importing your clips... watch this vid...maybe this will help...

Nightmare recording audio into premiere pro with Mbox 2 Mini Mac OSX

I've adjusted buffer settings, power settings, and so on, not to mention watched two Premiere Pro tutorials on recording audio directly into Premiere that barely still apply, but adobe finds relevant enough to suggest. I am using a Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini and an ElectroVoice RE20 Microphone. If I'm lucky I get a clean track of audio for about 45 seconds before the audio begins to pop and crack. In reading on Avid's forums this is due to a buffer issue, but I've since changed my buffer to every setting and still keep wasting time. Does anyone have any experience recording directly into premiere pro cc 2014?, Anyone with an Mbox 2 Mini?, Do you have an audio box that seems to work perfectly with CC 2014? If you have any insight on any of those questions, please comment below.
I've tried everything I could find and read about online, but at this point I have to give up before I waste anymore time. I've switched usb ports, maybe is a USB 3.0 with 2.0 device?, I switched power locations, plugs, protectors, and so on, even USB cables.... blahhh
Specs:
Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.1
2012 Macbook Pro (Non-Retina), 16GB of Ram, dual internal SSD, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
OSX 10.8.5
Mbox 2 Mini, Firmware 1.4, latest drivers.

Hi AbzZilla,
I was looking up this post and found you've a similar problem...
I was having the non-responsiveness with the above configurations in 'LE 7.4 & 7.4.2c (Mac-only), but I have now installed Pro Tools LE 8.
Unfortunately I still can't get the MBOX2 to work with the Mac mini 2, but the MBOX2 USB status alights now [i.e. it's very bright and now works] on the MBP 17" ...all with Mac OS X 10.5.6! In all previous Pro Tools versions it confirms support for Pro Tools and the MBox, with the Mac mini:
http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osx/os.cfm
So I too am 'stumped' as this is the brand new computer that I wanted the software to be operable on. I've swapped the USB cables (to check if it was a failed cable) and it looks like either a firmware clash or a USB-port power issue? I've also tried non-powered USB hubs... as it could be the later issue? So when I find my powered USB hub I'll let you know, ...if there's a change?
Until then... I Iook forward to further posts in this thread!
Thanks for kicking-off the discussion.
'Regards, ;-R

Software for recording LPs

I'm searching for a decent program for recording LPs and transferring them to CD through iTunes. I had a good program on my PC that had excellent scratch and pop filters, but it doesn't work with OS X. Any recommendations for good, not-too-expensive programs? Must connect via a stereo cable from my stereo system.

I wanted to run the files through a scratch and pop filter if possible
Final Vinyl has some good filters when you import before adding to iTunes. It's easy to get carried away with the filters so don't attempt to do too much.
before committing them to CD
Getting them onto the computer is the difficult part (and it's not really that difficult).
In iTunes, burning a CD is as simple as creating a playlist then click Burn.
You can tweak the files as much/little as you want before you burn them to a CD.
"Committing them to CD" sounds so final. If you don't like it, you can always burn another.

Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue? I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?
What I am ultimately wanting to do is make more room on my computer by backing up all of my files onto the external hard drive and then deleting them off of my computer. However, neededing to be able to retrieve them from the external hard drive later down the road.
From what I have read and am trying to understand, is that I probably shouldn't have used time machine. I need to use the external hard drive like a basic flash drive where I can put things on and get things off without having it automatically update through time machine everytime I connect it to my computer.
Not tech savvy at all and barely understand basics. I need very simple and easy to understand explanations.

BIG BIG MISTAKE ..... youre making a linchpin deathtrap for your data trying to shove everything on a single fragile HD.
Dont suffer the tragedy other people make, buy another or 2 more HD, theyre cheap as dust.
The number of people who have experienced terror by having a single external HD backup is enormous. One failure that WILL HAPPEN, and kaput,......all gone!
Dont do it, its all about redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.
follow here:
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Deleting them off your computer is fine....having only ONE copy is extremely BAD.
The Tragedy that will be, the tragedy that never should be
Always presume correctly that your data is priceless and takes a very long time to create and often is irreplaceable. Always presume accurately that hard drives are extremely cheap, and you have no excuse not to have multiple redundant copies of your data copied on hard drives and squirreled away several places, lockboxes, safes, fireboxes, offsite and otherwise.
Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail (the very same is true of SSD). Hard drives dont die when aged, hard drives die at any age, and peak in death when young and slowly increase in risk as they age.
Never practice at any time for any reason the false premise and unreal sense of security in thinking your data is safe on any single external hard drive. This is never the case and has proven to be the single most common horrible tragedy of data loss that exists.
Many 100s of millions of hours of lost work and data are lost each year due to this single common false security. This is an unnatural disaster that can avoid by making all data redundant and then redundant again. If you let a $60 additional redundant hard drive and 3 hours of copying stand between you and years of work, then you've made a fundamental mistake countless 1000s of people each year have come to regret.

HT4972 I have never updated/pluged my iphone 4 into my computer, i am trying to now; however, cannot figure it out. I cannot purchase apps, or download them because they require ios5 or something. iIalso do not have a button that says "software update."

I have never pluged/synced/updated my iphone 4, and need help badly. There is not a button under settings, then general that says "update," and i don't know how to get it there. I have tried pluging my phone into my computer, but get lost there too. My computer askes if i want apple to make changes to my computer, i click "yes," and then i cant find the device anywhere. I look under itunes, then file, then devices, and it does not pick up on the iphone. I am lost, and tech defecent. I am 19 and worse then 90 year olds with technology. Help please! I cannot update any of my aps because of this, so a little bit of a problem. Thanks!

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.
