Using internal modem for sound input

This is possible in OS 9 using the Sound control panel- I use it for recording surveys I do over the phone. However, it would be nice to use OS X since I do everything else with that. The only options in the Sound pane are Internal/External microphone and "Sound Input", whatever that is. Any ideas? Thanks!

Quick google search brought up this site: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/audiocorder.html
You could give that a try.

  • Using ALV Grid for data Input

  • Broadcasting/sharing wireless using internal modem or airport

    Until recently I have been able to send out a wireless signal to my colleagues after connecting my computer to a port via dsl (powerbook g4). Not sure how it was turned on, but one day I just found out this computer acted as a wireless hub. Then a few days ago I tried to pick up wireless myself (which it was previously unable to do), and since I have gotten that working, I can no longer send out a wireless signal. I have taken out the wireless card, but still to no avail. I have set my connection settings to - Sharing: on using internal modem; airport: on. Location: automatic; view: airport. Now, my internal modem reads: idle, as does my airport. I'm guessing this is the crux of the issue, but have no clue how to solve it. Weird thing is, the other computers recognise my wireless signal, say they are connected to it, but cannot get on the web through it. I am an absolute imbecile when it comes to this stuff, and have been racking my brain, so if anyone could help me I would be extremely grateful. Thanks, please, for the love of God help.

    Jasonislost, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Are you wanting to use the PowerBook to share a DSL
    connection or a dial-up connection?
    DSL connections are typically Ethernet and have
    nothing to do with the internal modem.
    If you are trying to share a DSL connection, you
    should only need to visit the Sharing preference pane
    and enable Internet sharing from Ethernet to AirPort.
    BTW, life would be simpler if you used a wireless
    router instead of your PowerBook to share the DSL
    connection.
    wow, thanks so much Duane, that worked perfectly. Phew, I am so grateful, and wow that was quick. Thank you infinitely, I feel a little dumb that it was apparently so simple, but I'd rather feel dumb than confused. Thanks again, man, I really appreciate it.

    Hi Manoj,
    It is possible to use Internal Order for GLs/Vendor accounts like employee vendors or MM vendors in the Cash Journal i.e. FBCJ Screen. The internal order field maybe invisble on the screen.Follow the following steps:
    1. Click on the Configuration tab - Blue, Yellow, White Striped Square on the right top corner of FBCJ Screen.
    2. It will open the Table Setting Tab, Click on Administrator.
    3. It will open Edit System Settings, Check whether the in the cloumn, order is having tick in the Invisible Column. If it is ticked remove the tick & click on Activate.
    4. Close the Edit System Settings  & Save the Table Settings.
    Thank You.

  • Can I use my headset for "sound-out" and phone mic...

    I have an E51 and the headset that came with it. I would like to achieve the following during calls: To use the headset for sound-out (i.e. as headphones) and the phone mic for sound-in. The mic on the headset gives a lot of static and I would rather use the phone mic (girlfriend complains).
    So I tried this: Under Tools>Settings>General>Enhancement, I set the Default to Headphones.
    Still, when I connect my headset it says "Default Enhancement: Headset" and the headset mic is automatically used.
    The default enhancement settings does not seem to matter.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this? Is there a way to manually switch between the headset and phone mics?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I am not using a bluetooth headset but a cabled one (that one that came with the phone for me -- I guess nokia skimped a bit here, not shipping with a bt headset).
    I was recently told basically the same thing you are saying in a store, that it is not possible to use the mic for sound-in during a headset call. He also said that any cabled headset or even *headphones* will be recognized as a headset by nokia phones because they all have the same 3 connectors (right, left, mic) on the 2.5mm jack. Can that really be right?
    So that means that even if I get a set of cabled headphones for my e51, I will not be able to use them for sound-out during a call?
    cheers

  • IPhone SDK - test for sound input availability?

    Should one try to determine if the device has a microphone available before calling AudioQueueNewInput and AudioQueueStart? I didn't see any mention of this requirement in the Audio Queue Services Programming Guide. (But in ancient MacOS history, one used to at least check the gestaltSoundAttr for the gestaltPlayAndRecord flags before trying to use the Sound Manager...)
    I have some audio queue input code which seems to work on the SDK simulator; what will happen if someone tries to run this code on an iPod Touch, which doesn't have a mic (AFAIK)? And if someone attaches a mic to the iPod dock connector, can this be detected and used?

    Good Question. I did just that. It seems that the iPod touch thinks that the input device is present and the call to AudioQueueStart returns 0. Good or bad, I don't know. I assume that this function should trigger the callback function to the delegate, but it only works in the simulator. This can be seen with the Speak Here app that is posted for examples. The debugger console shows a call to updateUserInterfaceOnAudioQueueStateChange when recording begins and when recording ends. On the iPod touch the call to the delegate is only done when recording stops.
    I would also like to know how to test for an input device.

  • Sending Faxes using internal modem and DSL

    I found that I can receive a fax, but I cannot send one. When I try and send one the internal modem tries to connect to the internet using "internet connect". It searches for a number to connect to the internet. Since I am using DSL now I don't have a phone number to dial into the internet. If I put my phone number in it calls me and gets a busy signal.
    Can someone tell me how I should be configuring the internal modem?

    From the Knowledge Base at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1797.html
    Sending a fax
    You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that is set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem that is connected to a phone line, it is automatically configured to send faxes.
    Open the document you want to fax.
    Choose File > Print.
    Choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
    Type the fax number of the user you want to receive your fax in the To field.
    You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open.
    If necessary, type the dialing prefix required for the phone system you're using in the Dialing Prefix field. (For example, if you need to dial a 9 to access an outside line, type 9 in the Dialing Prefix field.)
    If you want to send a fax through a modem other than your computer's built-in modem, choose it from the Modem pop-up menu.
    If you want to send a cover page with your fax, click the Use Cover Page checkbox and type a message in the Message field.
    If you need to change any of the preset faxing options, choose the type of options you want to change from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. (To see options for the application you're using, choose the application from the pop-up menu.)
    If necessary, select options for the type you chose. (For example, you can select the number of copies you want faxed if you chose Copies & Pages in step 8.)
    Tip: If you have a combination of options that you frequently use when faxing a document, you can save it as a "preset." After choosing your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu and type a name for the set of options. If you want to use this set of options when you fax a document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
    Click Fax.
    The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. (For example, if you're using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.)
    You may want to send your fax at a later time. For example, you may want to send it at night when telephone rates are lower. Just choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu, and enter the time. Make sure your computer is on, is not asleep, and is connected to your phone line at that time.

  • IMac11,2: How do you use internal modem without a modem port?

    This is driving me nuts. How on earth do I dial up somewhere from my iMac, or even send or receive a fax, when there is no modem port to connect my modem lead to, and thus connect the Mac to a phone line?
    I rang Applecare but they didn't even seem to know there was an internal modem on the Mac, or even how it used to work with a direct connection to the phone line. They seemed to think I could attach the modem lead to my router. But I rang BT re my Home Hub 3 and they didn't know either. There is no modem socket on the router.
    So I searched Apple Support and found a reference on page 11 of the following manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMac_Early2009_UG.pdf
    saying:
    "To use a dial-up connection, you need the external Apple USB Modem, available from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple Authorized Reseller. Plug the Apple USB Modem into a USB port on your iMac, and then use a phone cord (not included) to connect the modem to a phone jack"
    But when I rang the Apple Store they said they didn't sell Apple USB modems. They, too, didn't seem to have any idea of what I was talking about.
    I cannot be the only person in the world who wants to dial-up places from their Mac. There are three reasons for wanting direct dial-up:
    1) Sending and receiving faxes
    2) Connecting to a company server via dial-up (and I am talking a major national newspaper here, not a small outfit)
    3) Using a dial-up internet service when the broadband goes down
    All very good and important reasons for needing to be able to connect the Mac to the phone line, I am sure you will agree.
    But how on earth do I do that now?
    Thanks
    Sarah

  • Faxing using internal modem

    I just bought and installed an internal modem. I can see it in More Info/Modem information.
    My Fax List shows "internal Modem."
    But when I try to use the darned thing, it won't send. Sometimes it says "Fax held until 12:35pm" or such, or it says, "Fax cannot be sent."
    (Phone line is working)
    When I look at "Show Info" from Fax List, It says "Internal Modem," but "Host" and Driver Version are blank.
    Here what I see in Modem Information:
    Modem Model: Spring
    Firmware Version: APPLE VERSION 0007, 7/31/2000
    Country: 22 (United States, Canada, Guam, Hong Kong, India, Latin America, Philippines, Thailand)
    Driver: com.apple.driver.AppleSCCSerial (v1.2.6)
    Interface Type: Serial
    SKU Name: UCJ
    Modulation: V.90
    Hardware Version: 6.0F
    I'd love to be able to fax from my G4.
    How the heck do I set it up and send a fax?

    From my mac help topics (after hours of web searching...):
    Try this solution:
    1. system preferences>network>internal modem>ppp>ppp options>DISABLE this option:"Disconnect if idle for....minutes"
    2. system preferences>network>internal modem>modem: if the chosen option is "apple...56k modem (v.92) CHANGE it to (v.90) from the pop-up menu.
    May be you'll need to restart your mac.
    on my Mac it WORKS!

  • Install Boot Camp/OS X on SSD disk, use internal harddrive for storing applications for Boot Camp

    Hello everyone!
    I have a SSD drive that I have installed Yosemite on and have the following question:
    I have an iMac with an external SSD disk on 250 GB that I have connected in a thunderbolt enclosure and have an internal hard drive on 500 GB SATA drive.
    First I wonder if it's possible to have a dual boot on OS X and Boot Camp on my SSD disk?
    But here comes the tricky part. I want to have my internal hard drive (500 GB) on my iMac to use some sharing to Windows.
    So my idea is just boot to Boot Camp and use my internal hard drive, that I want to partition to two parts (one partition for OS X and one partition for Windows) to have the applications (like games/user applications) installed on so I don't fill up my SSD drive with all that data. I just want to have the SSD disk to boot in and use the speed for the Boot Camp system.
    I also have file vault activated on Yosemite and want to have encryption activated on both volumes (OS X/ Boot Camp) so it's secured.
    So is this idea possible to do or do I need to have all the user applications / games installed directly to my Boot Camp partition?
    Sorry for my grammar, hope you understand what I want to do. If not I will try to explain better and more detailed if needed.
    Thanks so much in advanced!

    Please see http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.com/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external. html for installing on an external Thunderbolt disk.

    You can create a FAT/exFAT partition via Disk Utility on the 500GB SATA disk. After Windows is installed, format this partition to NTFS from Windows, and use it as Windows D: (or appropriate drive letter depending on your environment) and install Games/Applications. Be careful with the read-only HFS partitions which get drive letters assigned automatically. This partition cannot be resized using Windows tools or OSX Disk tools.
    I also have file vault activated on Yosemite and want to have encryption activated on both volumes (OS X/ Boot Camp) so it's secured.
    FV2 (and any other CoreStorage volumes) are unreadable in Windows. Only HFS+ volumes are supported by the Apple read-only HFS driver provided by BC drivers. Windows volumes require BitLocker encryption, FV2 cannot be used for such volumes.

  • G4 and microphone suitable for sound input port

    I'm looking into getting started with podcasting and I need help with selecting a microphone. I'm on a G4 desktop machine with a sound input port, any suggestions as to the tech spec or manufacturer of a suitable microphone would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.
    G4 desktop   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi, Neil -
    This Apple KBase article provides some info with regard to microphone selection -
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18275
    Scroll down the article to the G4 section that matches your G4 model.
    Many users have gone to using the Griffin iMaic adapter, since it permits a wide variety of micophones to be used. There's a link near the bottom of the above article to Griffin's iMic page.

  • Why did Apple Get rid of internal modem for fax?

    Hey Guy's
    I just wanted to now if anyone new why Apple got rid of the Internal modem when they were switching from Powerbook G4 to MacBook Pro.
    Thanks, Zach

    In some ways I'm glad they did.
    Internal modems carry these disadvantages:
    1. They take more power out of the system, so they drain the battery.
    2. In order to disconnect a hanging connection, sometimes the power to the modem has to be shut off. That forces you to reboot your Mac, and sometimes it forces you to reboot it without saving your data, or going through the proper shut down procedure, which in turn can damage your directory.
    3. They can be a point that gets fried first when lightning strikes the telephone line. That in turn can lead to a damaged logicboard. By making it a dongle, it gives lightning less of an obvious way to travel to your machine. Not that you still can't get hurt, but the risk is reduced.
    4. Any item connected to the logicboard circuitry directly can get bent, and require replacing the logicboard. Common problems with USB ports and Firewire ports are people who improperly connect the cable and damage the ports. When tied directly to the logicboard the components are hard to replace.
    When you consider the use of such modems much reduced, removing it from the mix makes a lot of sense. Whether that's the reason engineers decided to do it, will always remain a mystery, but it makes sense from a logical perspective.

  • How can i write a vi in using parallel port for digital inputs

    Dear all,
    i am a beginner user of LabVIEW and i want to write a vi in using parallel port for digital I/O. After reading the article "Using the Parallel Port in LabVIEW
    " and download the parallel.zip, i know how to write the vi for output, but i still don't know how to write the input one.i've try to use a Inport.vi to test, but nothing change when i set pin2-9 to high. (my computer:win2K & LabVIEW 6.1)
    Can anybody teach me how to write it?
    Can anyone write the vi for me too?
    Thanks all!
    p.s.i've already install the "accessHW.exe"

    Are you using VISA or the accessHW VIs? You may need to goto the bios and set the parallel port to run in spp mode or standard mode. This is the simpliest configuration and where you should start.
    As far as writing the VI goes, just copy the diagram out of the tutorial you mentioned.
