Uploading digital audio via camera connector???

I am using a Marantz digital audio recorder for field interviews. It takes a compact flash card, same as a digital camera. I would like to use my 60 Gb iPod Photo as a remote storage: upload the WAV (uncompressed audio) files on my CF card to the iPod, erase the CF card, record more interviews, go home, upload the whole thing to my G5. My Belkin card reader (which works great for photos) doesn't recognize the audio files. Anyone tried the camera connector for this? Any other suggestions? This has got to be possible, no?
Thanks,
Nathaniel

Interesting application. Although conceptually the same as backing up photos, I doubt this would work. I've plugged a USB flash drive ("thumbdrive") into my camera connector; the iPod Photo recognized the drive, but reported that it has 0 photos on it and so wouldn't allow any import. The drive has many files on it, but none in the format/directories that a digital camera would place them. Of course, you could always use a PowerBook to copy the files from the CF card with a USB reader, but then you wouldn't need the iPod at all and would have to carry more equipment with you. I doubt that Apple would add general file backup functionality to the iPod software for such a purpose. You could always use the feedback page ( www.apple.com/feedback ) to request such an enhancement, but you won't get a response and I doubt they'd implement it as the camera connector is marketed just for the purpose of uploading and viewing photos.
Cheers,

  • Can MacBook Pro output digital audio via usb?

    I'd like to output digital audio via usb. Can it be done from iTunes? This would allow me to go directly to my dac and then to my preamp.
    Thanks.

    Russell, there are quite a variety of devices that accept digital audio over USB from any mac with a USB port - see http://www.trendsaudio.com/EN/Product/USBAudiodesc.htm for one example.
    Try a google on MAC USB Audio OUTPUT any you should pop up some useful options.

  • Can anyone help me move video from Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3gs via camera connector kit?

    Can anyone help me move video from a Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3g via camera connector kit?

    You can use iPhoto for the import. iLife apps are integrated. From within iMovie you have direct access to iTunes for adding music, and iPhoto for photos and videos in the iPhoto library.
    Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you prefer placing such imports into manually created folders and not using iPhoto.

  • Photo Transfer Problem From Minox Dcc M3 to Ipod via Camera Connector

    Hi,
    I have a minox Dcc M3 digital camera,and i recently purchased a 5th generation ipod with the intention of downloading images from my minox camera direct to the ipod, so that i could delete the images from my camera and carry on taking more pictures without having to carry my laptop around with me, The camera only has a 32mb built in flash memory and will not download direct to the ipod via an ipod camera connector,I have tried other cameras that only have built in flash memory and none of them will download direct to the ipod, Has anyone out there come across this problem before,according to apple the ipod supports the following image transfer protocols:- PTP
    Type 4 (or Normal)and Mass Storage.Could anyone tell me if there is any firmware update for the ipod or camera that would make the ipod compatible with the cameras flash memory and allow me to download my images to my ipod.

    I don`t think there is an option to turn on or off any transfer protocols,on connecting the camera to windows xp it connects staight away and viewing/downloading photos is no problem,it works the same as my other camera no problem.I have followed apples procedure of connecting (ie:-turn on ipod/connect camera connector/turn on camera and connect usb cable) the camera then shuts off immediately,i can turn it on again but all i get from the ipod is the message "ready to connect".It seems to me that the ipod does not even know the camera is connected?,looks like maybe this camera is not compatible with ipod,but i cannot help but think that other camera makes with built in memory would suffer from the problem.

  • Recording Digital Audio via Optical Line-in

    Hi,
    I've been trying for the past hour to record Digital Audio from my XBOX 360 via an Optical Cable, into my MacPro's Optical line-in.
    However all I get it huge amounts of noise / static / clicking all of the time.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I suspect the audio from your XBOX is encoded in surround sound. The Mac will not decode this type of audio directly from the optical in port. You may need to try and change your XBOX preferences to standard stereo.

  • Photo orientation importing via Camera Connector

    Hi all.
    I've got my first iPod (iPod video, 30 gB, black): it's great.
    I also got the camera connector, and I have tried to import photo from my camera. It works fine, but the portrait photos appear in landscape: is it possible to automatically change the orientation?
    Thanks,

  • Trying to find a camcorder that records in 60 frames per second and will upload onto  ipad2 through camera connector

    Trying to find a camcorder that records in 60 frames per second and will upload onto  ipad2 through camera connector

    Old forum discussion, message now gone, but here's the summary
    Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model 110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy the model 300
    Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't need that, look at the model 55
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 One Way Only to Computer
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110 for good tapes, or
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300 better with OLD tapes

  • Digital audio via USB no longer works since IOS8

    Hi,
    I use the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" (ref MD821ZM) to connect my iPhone or the iPad to my Bowers and Wilkins speakers MM-1 USB cable.
    This allowed to use the B&W internal DAC.
    It has worked fine in IOS 7 and it was a fantastic feature and easy to use.
    IOS no longer streams the music digitally to the DAC. it just keeps playing the music from the iPhone/ipad internal speakers.
    I truly hope this is only a bug and not a feature Apple has voluntarely decided to remove, which would be a shame because it doesn't harm anyone to keep it.
    or anyone has a suggestion (app or something)
    thanks,
    BigMat

    b,
    We are in business. I charged the iPod via the cigarette lighter (didn't take long). When I plugged it into the computer after charging it I got the familiar ding-dong sound and the iPod updater immediately prompted me to update the software on the iPod (which I did).
    After updating, the computer no longer seemed to recognize it. I stopped all the USB devices that were running, one at a time until I finally saw Apple iPod in the list and I stopped that as well and disconnected.
    To make a long story short, after rebooting my computer and reconnecting the iPod, iTunes came up as normal and it looks like I'm over this hurdle.
    I have no idea why the computer wouldn't recognize the iPod when the battery was dead but suddenly recognizes it after charging it.
    My wife says that the iPod had been left plugged into the computer for a long period of time but I'm not sure what that would have done.
    At any rate, we're working now and hopefully someone will get some benefit from this thread.
    Thanks again,
    Greg.

  • No line out audio via dock connector

    I have a Sendstation pocketdock:
    http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pocketdock/lineout-usb.html
    I use the line out with other iPods including 4G ipod and 2G Nano with no problems.
    But when I use the same Pocketdock with the iPhone, audio does not go through the line out, audio keeps coming out of the iPhone.
    Is there a way to force audio out the dock/line out?

    Folks,
    on Nov. 29, 2007 we have begun shipping a revised PocketDock Line Out USB, which is now iPhone-enabled. We have also revised the 1/8" stereo plugs on the included cables, so they are now thin enough to fit the iPhone’s recessed headphone jack.
    Note that not all retailers might have the newest stock, so if you want to be on the safe side, either ask for which revision they sell (the iPhone-option is mentioned on the packaging) or order directly from http://www.sendstation.com.
    Best regards,

  • Synched photos erased after using Camera Connector

    I recently purchased a camera connector for my 60Gb iPod Video. I had already synched a bunch of photos through iTunes, and when I used my camera connector, all those synched photos were erased. It has done this several times now. Can I not have both synched photos via iTunes and upload photos through the Camera Connector? If I can, how can I keep my synched photos from being erased? Any help is appreciated.

    I'm trying to avoid the restore option as my iTunes doesn't have the music that is on my iPod (ie I update my ipod manually and delete the songs on iTunes after transferring the songs to iPod - frees up space on my computer).
    Is there any way of making a back up of the songs on iPod or transferring them from iPod to iTunes?

  • Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8  on my G4 Power Mac Digital audio-is it worth it and how do i find the 10.5.8

    Hey Gang.   How's it been going?  I still have the same G4 Digital Audio which came used but with a clean OS, which I managed to up
    grade to reach the 10.4.11.  Its works great and I love it.  I can only imagine using a real Mac Pro 2012.  The software is legacy and It will not support the QuarkExpress9 for example.  So what if I found and upgraded to the 10.5.8 or the max OS my G4 can handle?  Is it worth it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Depends what part of 10.5 you think you need, but 10.5 does not support Classic Apps, requires 3 times the resources & space, is expensive, & slower than Tiger/10.4 even on a G5 Quad with 10 GB of RAM.
    I have run 10.5.8 on a DA/450 MHz/1GB, & it is possible.
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

  • Digital Audio out from Airport's USB?

    I don't yet have the means to try it out, so does anyone know if this can be done? I'm getting active monitors with an onboard dac, but only usb input. The manufacturer says the speakers can get digital audio from a Mac mini usb, but is it a different story with the APX?

    Why do you think it wouldn't, by the way? Printers
    are "plug & play" so if the monitors are, why
    wouldn't the system preferences offer the same
    possibility as a usb port on the mac itself. They
    have a Mac mini feeding digital audio via usb just
    fine... they say.

  • Camera Connector with Cannon Camera

    Hello. I have been having problems with uploading the photos from my Powershot SD400 Elph camera on to my 30GB Video ipod. I have downloaded photos on to my ipod before from the same camera and it worked. But now it isn´t working. I have followed all of the directions off the apple website about downloading/uploading photos with the camera connector and it still doesn´t work. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I need to do to make it work again? The camera, Cannon SD400 Elph is not listed as a compatible camera, however, the camera Cannon SD400 is listed as a camera that should work with the camera connector (from ipod). I am not sure if the inclusion of the word "elph" makes a difference. I am in somewhat of hurry to get any advice. Thanks for your help!

    Ivan,
    The version 1.1 requirement refers to iPod photo software version 1.1 (for the older iPod)
    The 5G iPod version of 1.0 should be compatible with the iPod camera connector.

  • Anybody used iPod camera connector with Fuji finepix S9500?

    Hi there,
    Like many of you I've looked at the compatability list on the Apple site and my Finepix S9500 is not there. Has anybody been successful downloading pictures either from the camera via camera connector, or using a media reader connected to iPod and XD memory card?
