Re: i-pod touch question?

2012-04-09 Thread Karen Lewellen
Well I cannot speak for your situation, but one of the others seems to be 
correct, at least for the fourth generation i-pod touch my friend has.
There are apparently connectors one can obtain which can turn the one 
jack provided into a line in connection, likely less than the cost of the 
interface as well.
However if one is going to use an interface, why bother with the i-pod 
touch at all?
My specific goal was to use this item and the pocket wave form program, 
not because there was no other way, but to explore these two avenues 
If I cannot copy audio externally into the i-pod touch may as well just 
use something 
else...which is what others  recommended, smiles.

 Hi. Actually the audio interface via the dock connector I suggested
 near the end of my message will do the trick for mono or stereo line
 sources. Those start at around fifty dollars.

Re: i-pod touch question?

2012-04-09 Thread Brent Harding
I haven't had a landline in over 3 years since I first got Sprint cell 
service. I would only do it to satisfy one of these employers, if they were 
one of them that doesn't use a voip setup of their own. I don't even know if 
my landlord could make it work because they would have to split the jack in 
two between the line and intercom so that the line could be pure, so to 
speak. As things normally are, if a visitor buzzes, they're patched straight 
up, and I don't know where the in progress call goes because I don't have 
the line active to see. Once people truely go mostly cell, I'd like to see 
how they will hook into that to get people in as they can't patch into a 
cell tower that's probably not in the building.

Hi. I'd avoid going the land line route all together if it were me. It
would work using Skype and a bluetooth headset. Another option would
be to use magic jack and a mac book air for example, or, what about a
Skype phone? That could also have a dedicated number like magic jack
would... All of those options would be cheaper than a second land
line.

Just throwing that out there...

Cameron,
Perhaps as usual I was not clear.  I have no need for, or interest inusing

the audio is already professionally recorded on another device.
what I had hoped though was that I could copy audio from this device via

table discussions but are not great for capturing speech that is more
than a couple feet away.

The other option is to get a microphone that plugs into the dock
connector jack or use an audio interfacevia the dock connector and
standard xlr microphones. Those two options start at approx fifty
dollars US.

If you'd like links to specific models of either add on, just let me
know and I'll send them to you.

Hi. The headset included with the iPod touch has a built in microphone
and remote, it's similar to the hands free option you can get for most
cell phones. The latest iPod touch generation, gen four, also have an
on board microphone. Both work for things like dictation and round
table discussions but are not great for capturing speech that is more
than a couple feet away.

The other option is to get a microphone that plugs into the dock

Hi folks,
I had intended using my friends as I shared previously here.  I found 
pocket waveform as a free app to use.  It even speaks to the unique audio 
needs of journalists.
However I was surprised when he showed me his i-pod touch that there 
was...were no line in jack?

Re: i pod touch question

2011-09-18 Thread Venkatesh Potluri
Hi rachel.
Does it prompt that you have not transfered purchased items from your IPod?
I suggest you to try the following.
1. connect your device and open ITunes if it does not open automatically.
2. if you usually sync it, please do so.
3. before updating the software, go to the file menu, and select the option 
that says transfer purchases from your IPod. the name of your IPod will be 
spoken instead of "your IPod."
4. you might be prompted to enter your apple ID and password on your computer. 
Please do so.
wait for a while, and you are good to go!
note:
you will be able to know the status of the transfer and the software update in 
the LCD section of iTunes, the area where you usually check the sync status, 
the details of the current song playing, etc.
Hope this helps.
Happy updating! :)
cheers

Re: differences between I pad and I pod touch?

2010-12-19 Thread Hypnotic Consulting
I just got a touch, and I'm surprised at how much I love it. The 
portability, the speed, the ease of navigating. being able to use it with 
one hand rocks.

I wish it had 3g though.
It was awkward at first, even after having my wifes mac most of this year. 
for now, I find using the touch to be more enjoyable then my pc, which is a 
dinosaur, so slow.
At this point, I'd say get two touches. You guys will be happier not needing 
to share.

Hello.

I have all bu one email account set to iMap. I love it, because I can check on 
any machine, make changes, and they show up on the others.

Just so you know Mail on the iDevices seems to handle Gmail, Yahoo, AOL with no 
additional tweaking.  You can set up others like ComCast or Earthlink or 
whatever under the 'Other' setting.  I simply have to switch ComCast to iMap 
later.

short version from memory.

When you first plug in the phone, you will be asked to set it up.

it will then appear in the sources treeview under devices.

Arrow to the phone and tab a time or to to get to summary tab.  Tab a 
few more times to reach a button called setup universal access or 
words to that effect.  This will have a group of radio buttons for 
dealing with voice over and you want the on button.  it will ask for 
confirmation and give you a warning about it changing the interface on 
the phone etc but once that has happened you are good.


Since I use mac itunes, I might have missed a bit or two but I have 
done it for people on windows a couple of times and I think this is 
basically correct.

Just get yourself familiar with iTunes.  It will make your life a lot easier.  
Especially if your planning to use iTunes on a windows computer.

Another advantage of the iPad is the screen size for partially sighted people.

Hi Teresa,

I'm not sure if you're in the US, but the ipad 3G does not require a data plan 
in the US. It is somewhat progressive in it's handling of 3G data usage in that 
there is no contract and you can start and stop and restart your 3G data on a 
monthly basis directly from the ipad with no penalties. You can pay US $15 per 
month for 200 MB of data or US $25 per month for 2 GB of data, or pay nothing 
if and when you don't need 3G wireless.

well. Maybe the real problem is not sharing, but finding the time to share. :)
Good luck with whatever device you choose.

Re: differences between I pad and I pod touch?

2010-12-16 Thread Scott Howell
Teresa,

I'm sure you realize there are two versions of the iPad, one with 3G and wi-fi 
and one with wi-fi only. Of course it will be interesting to see what the next 
version of the iPad will contain in terms of ram etc.

Re: differences between I pad and I pod touch?

2010-12-16 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

No.  The iPod touch doesn't have a 3g option.  Keep in mind that the 3g model 
of the iPad is pay as you go.  So you wouldn't be locked into a contract.  And 
with this you will also be gaining a GPS option if that tickles your fancy.  
lol.  Just so more things to think about.

Thanks, Scott.  Mark is trying to decide between the two, but he's 
totally new to the world of Mac and also to touch screen environments.  
I thought the pad would just be easier and might be more functional then 
the touch...  But where we live, we can get two of the touches for one 
of the pads, which has some appeal as we wouldn't have to share.

Caitlyn,

Some argue the iPad is a larger iPod; however, that is incorrect. There are of 
course many similarities, but the interface is different. THe additional screen 
size does allow for a different navigation experience for both blind and 
sighted individuals. SOme would say the web browsing is much easier and 
provides a greater idea of the page layout. I am sure those who have both 
devices will comment more extensively, but I am giving the iPad some serious 
consideration for my family. I can see using the iPad to serve a variety of 
needs and having a central or couple of central machines for syncing and 
purposes that are not suited to the iPad. I already have an iPhone and find 
this to be incredibly useful; however, I feel the iPad does meet a need and 
certainly I can see it taking the place of a notebook while traveling when a 
full-blown machine is not required.

Hi Cameron, I simpersize in your situation. I remember when I got my 1st 
ipod which was an ipod mini! Well its really weird that you have only one 
song on your ipod! And I thought I had a lot of songs lol. Sorry if I can't 
really help you get far. But one sergestion and it might sound stupid but 
have you registered your ipod with itunes? I don't think you have to though 
because I use windows and don't own a mac though the temtation to get one is 
getting stronger lol but I had some issues with the registration process and 
ended up just hitting the "register later" button. But another thing is in 
the source list does your ipod show up in there? if it does then all you 
need to do once you have imported your music is hit the application key and 
go down to the word "synth ipod" again jaws might say unavadable which I had 
some problem and to be honest I don't know what I did to solve it. One more 
thing that might be stupid as well but are your music files in different 
formats? Generally I use MP3. Sorry ifThis doesn't help you but I am trying 
my best to help you out.
Tip If you have a huge music  library I highly recommend getting a external 
hard drive. Then you can tell itunes that when your importing your cd's or 
whatever and you have define where you want your fouldors to go you can set 
it so it will create fouldors in an external hard drive.
This was a lesson that I learnd because on my old xp at 1st I never heard of 
MP3 format and was converting songs to wma wav or what ever windows media 
player calls them. But over time that computer got really slow!
Now I know about MP3 and since then Ihave gotten a vista computer since 2007 
and later I had the idea of getting an external hard drive 500 GB of space! 
Cost about 80 pounds but it was well worth the buy!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi guys.  I know this is off topic but I am going nuts over here and I 
need
to get this sorted out quickly and wasn't sure where else to turn.  This 
may
not be mac related, but it is Ipod touch and Itunes related so perhaps 
that

gets me off the hook at least partially?  I tried googleing it but got no
helpful results.

Anyways, this is my situation.  I had rockbox installed on my eighty gig I
pod video.  That worked great.  you could plug it into any computer and 
just

drag and drop music like you would with an external hard drive.  Well, I
sold that finally and got the latest generation 64 gb Ipod touch.  I am 
very

happy with it as far as the device itself, especially the fact that
voiceover is on board.

Now, I have never used Itunes.  And I don't have my mac book pro yet.  So 
I

am stuck with the windows version for now.  I am making some headway with
jaws, although there are some awful focus issues etc.  Anyways, I imported
my music library, which is 388 gigs.  I want to select certain artists
collections of albums to put on my new I pod.  Now this is where I am
hitting a brick wall.  After letting it sit for 3 hours, importing
everything into the Itunes library, all I can seem to get after tabbing 
past

the search box is a list box of various albums/artists, (which is a mess).
Supposedly, according to the help file, all you need to do is drag and 
drop

to the Ipods music folder in the device list in the tree view.  Well, I
tried copying and pasting and no luck.  Also, when I choose add folder to
library from the file menu, out of my 780 plus artist folders in my music
folder, it shows one.  that's right...  One folder!

I manually have my music folder arranged because I am very picky about 
that.

I have artist folders, which have album folders inside them, that sort of
thing.  This was so easy without I tunes.  I just copied and pasted 
whatever

I wanted and I was done with it.  But, I've been fighting with this four
hours now and I can't even get one song on my Ipod.  Either this is an
accessibility issue on the windows side, or, I am missing something.  I
don't know.

I am going freaking insane over here.  Someone help me please!  I am 
moving
this week and I need to pack up my desktop tomorrow evening.  so, I need 
to

get music transferred before then or I shall be musicless for at least a
week and a half, which I could not bear.

And if this helps at all, I turned off auto sync, I have the latest 
version
of Itunes installed, the latest OS on the Ipod touch installed, and I told 
I

tunes not to reorganize my music folder.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance.

Hi,

That's probably because it doesn't have all those services the iPhone does. I'd 
imagine the battery on the iPhone would be pretty equal to the iTouch if you 
turned on Airplane Mode.

I'm assuming it's the new / ipod version with the  accessible interface? 
I take it that voice over is built into it, can anyone confirm this and is
it as good as the iphone interface without the phone?
