Will one software program work for Tivo, VHS and audio cassette transfer?

Been wanting to do some things for awhile and am hoping I now can with the new Macbook. I have 3 things I want the capability to do. I have researched and read a million forums at this point. I am hoping for some suggestions on programs/software and I'm not against buying things.
1) Transferring Tivo programming to the Mac and being able to burn it to DVD. I have a broadband connection and the Tivo adapter but seems like there's Toast/Popcorn or many other free programs or widgets required for Macs.
2) Transferring VHS video to the Mac for DVD burning.
3) Transferring audio cassette tapes to the Mac for iTunes listening or CD burning.
Is there software that handles all of these? I'm just trying to avoid buying 3 different things or downloading 3 different programs if something can do them all. I didn't find the Roxio site very helpful for the non-techs amongst us. Thanks for any suggestions...

2) Transferring VHS video to the Mac for DVD burning.
You’ll need a piece of hardware to digitise the signal first. Connect the VHS player to this, then connect that to the Mac. Canopus make various devices for the job (http://desktop.thomsongrassvalley.com/products/ADVC110/index.php for instance) or many middle to high-end Camcorders now also have the ability to pass through the signal. Once you’ve done this you can use iMovie to capture the video and then send it to iDVD for burning.
3) Transferring audio cassette tapes to the Mac for iTunes listening or CD burning.
Again, though more simple, the signal has to be digitised. So you need to record the audio on the Mac and then save it as an AIFF or mp3 file. You can do this with pretty much any audio recording software I’ve use both the Open Source Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) and the shareware Sound Studio (http://www.freeverse.com/apps/app/?id=5012).

  • How to show one prompt that works for both Graph and Table views?

    Have an analysis with a graph and a table. The information in the table and graph are different so cannot use a pivot table w/graph.
    Each view has a view prompt for Year and Month (tried both separately and also as one combined column ‘201001’) so user can easily change months.
    Too much data to use the slider because it will not graph.
    Page prompt does not allow user to switch dates easily.
    Since this will be a link from a dashboard, do not think making this a dashboard from a dashboard would be good so not a dashboard prompt.
    Saw something about Master Detail linking, but does not appear to work with graph prompts.
    How would the analysis be configured to show one prompt that works for both the Table and the Graph?
    One prompt would change both the table and the graph.

    Master Detail Linking almost works.
    Table view can show all the results without error.
    Graph view needs to be limited or errs with "Exceeded configured maximum number of allowed input records."
    Is there a way to set the initial Master Detail Linking value to the top sorted value?

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • Will my serial number work for old versions?

    I am a teacher and have a newer version of the software than my students do. I would like to demo in the same version they use, but it is no longer sold - will my serial number work for older versions of the same program?

    No, the serial number is tied to the version/license you purchased.  Can't you acquire the software in the same way that your students have to?

  • I updated the software which was supposed to allow deleting photos from photos and it worked for a time and now only let's me delete a few of them.  Also I found that the photo section tripled some of the photos and I can't get rid of them.  What is going

    I updated the software as required for the iPad and now I can no longer delete photos from the app in the photo section.  I had been able to do it but now there are multiple photos of the same pic and I can't remove any of them.  What is wrong?

    Photos in the Camera Roll or in the Imported Images album can be deleted within the album. One the album and select the icon with the curved arrow. Then tap on the photo or photos you want to delete to select them. Finally tap delete.
    For photos in other albums you delete them by moving them out of the albums they were in on your computer. If you're using a Mac open iTunes on your Mac and move the photos out of the album then go through the sync process with your iPad.
    If you're using a pc then move the photos out of the folders they are in and go through the sync process.

  • Is there a good apple based alternative to the personal. finance software program "quicken for mac"?  It is a poorly supported program.

    Is there a good apple based alternative to the persona finance software program "quicken for mac"?  It is a poorly supported program.

    I switched from Quicken on a Windows computer to iBank on a Mac. It is a very good program, has very good free download connections to financial institutions (optional), and very good reports. The only negative is that it is just different enough from Quicken that there is a learning curve and the first month or two were frustrating -- but that is likely true of anything that you might change to. http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/

  • I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor.Can we re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive for a old macbook?Just one example.

    I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor who we get to buy all our Apple products from.Can we (university) re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive once the hard drive gets replaced? How can we as the university IT department legally re-install macosx on a imac,macbook, macbookair etc. We would like to load customized macosx imaging software onto the mac machines(imac, macbook, etc ). The university has its own IT workshop and we would like our users to get their laptops back in the shortest turnaround time.

    We're not "Apple Inc." here, just users like you.
    So whatever we say is not an official statement, nor does it in any way, shape, or form represent the official or unofficial policies or opinions of Apple, Inc.
    But I'll offer my quick opinion, having worked in information-systems and technology support in a wide variety of environments over many years.
    Question #1. "NO!"
    No tech support nor repair facility, even if "Apple-authorized", is automatically empowered to install or upgrade OS X on a replacement hard drive just because it is more convenient or time-efficient. When the repair is complete, the student should be expected to (re)install the operating system themself*!
    Nurturing students (and occasionally dragging them, screaming and kicking!) as budding computer-, tablet-, smartphone-users to become digitally self-sufficient is a worthy goal that any institution of higher education must pursue.
    Making students totally dependent upon "Mother Support" for every little thing about their personal digital devices is a grave disservice to both the students and the people who provide the support. Support-mothered students do become life-long digital dependents, instead of taking the required time to learn enough about the care and feeding of their digital "pets" to sustain them. Entreprenurial students may choose to become 'experts' and actually help each other with their devices, and even make money doing it. Some students may even be inspired/coerced to pursue a career in tech support!!!
    *By all means, if the student requests additional help (re-installing the OS), then the University should charge the student a fair price for the service, provided that the user provides the OS on original or upgrade media, or in the case of the 'digital download' upgrades (for OS X 10.7 and 10.8) provides proof of purchase for the OS upgrade, or the original purchase receipt or other recognized documentation for the purchase of the computer showing the version of OS installed when purchased. Students need to learn about personal responsibility, economics ("What is MY time really worth"?), and proper record-keeping too!
    Question #2. Regarding the customized imaging software, provide it on media or a link for students to download and install it. Make it their responsibility!

  • Multicast works for a day and then stops

    I'm running multicast in unicast mode on our WLC because I can't enable PIM on wired side yet for a couple reasons.  It works consistently on 3 out of 6 WLAN's.  And the weird thing is the other 3 WLAN's will work for a day, and when I come in the next day, multicast traffic has stopped flowing.  I have verified this through IGMP snooping, using a bonjour browser, testing airplay, and using packet capture on a wireless NIC.  2 of the WLAN's are configured almost identically, but one works consistently day after day, and the other only works for a day after resetting the wlan.  I have been coming in the morning and changing a single setting back and forth just to reset the WLAN so it will work for the rest of the day.  I'm just writing this to see if someone can think of why it would work fine for the shole day and then stop working by the next morning.  It's not an IGMP timeout setting, because it works for much longer than the timeout and behaves the same way even without IGMP snooping on.  It started doing this after upgrading to 7.0.240.0.  We have very little amount of multicast traffic on wireless, and low channel utilization.  It does the same exact thing whether 802.11a or 802.11g so I don't think it has to do with data rates.  When I have IGMP snooping on, and on the WLAN's where it's not working, the controller will see the multicast group join message from the client, but the client doesn't see the IGMP query from the controller.  It shouldn't be wired config related since it's unicast mode.  I've tried with and without broadcasting enabled.  Any ideas?

    Okay, so I discovered two things, but I still don't know what caused this problem.  When I was running 7.0.230.0 I had increased my EAP-Broadcast key interval to 86400 due to a bug.  This seems to be related to the fact that on the wlan's where multicast was not working, it stopped by the next day.  When I backed this interval down to 3600 the multicast stopped working after an hour instead of a day.  So that's why I believe it was somewhat related to the broadcast key, since that key is used for multicast. 
    What I realized is that multicast was working on all the wlan's on all AP's that had been rebooted since the controller upgrade (They had been rebooted due to a switch losing power).  This is weird because all the AP's were rebooted when they received their own 7.0.240.0 software upgrade, so I don't know why they would have needed to be rebooted again.  Anyway, I rebooted a few more AP's and multicast works properly on all wlan's on those.  I'm just replying to my own thread here in case someone has a similar problem after upgrading your controller - try rebooting all your access points again.  Or maybe reboot after changing EAP-Broadcast Key interval.

  • Iphone 6 (Verizon,64GB,space gray)  microphone works for text dictation and Siri but stopped working for calls and voice memos.

    My iphone 6 the micorphone has stoppped working unless I speak loudly right into it and its still not clear during calls and voice memos. But it works just fine for Siri and text dictation. I use the earbuds for work so not sure how long its been going on. Only change is I updated to iOS 8.1.3. Not sure if I should exchange my phone or if its a software glitch since the same mic seems to work for some things and not others. Any ideas would be apreciated.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

    Hi there!
    Please see  this thread for the download links for the Fingerprint Software 5.8 ....
    This issue was already raised in the ThinkVantage subforum here at Lenovo Forums and it is resolved.
    Regarding the Turbo Memory, please keep in mind that the hardware only works with Vista. Windows XP does not support turbo memory thus the piece of hardware is rendered useless. With regards to Turbo Memory usage in Vista, the latest drivers do fully support the card in Vista and since there are no technological changes, there is no need for additional or new drivers.
    Hope this helps!

  • My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music

    My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music since in downloaded new software!

    I'm not sure if this will help, but I went into my sounds setting and made sure that both the "vibrate on ring" and "vibrate on silent" were selected to "on."  Once I did this, I was able to get the vibrating notification for a call received (as this had previously not been the case).  Hope this helps.
