Windows 7 does not allow you to copy tapes through the USB to the computer... need help!

I bought a cassette/converter of Grace Digital Audio Player to convert cassettes to MP3 files on my computer (HP laptop Pavilion DV 7/Windows 7 64-bit). Directions say to just plug into the USB port, press Play on the machine and press Record on the Audacity software.  It copies the music... and all the other noises in the room.  I tried to disable the microphone from the computer... but then it won't copy the music at all.  I called the manufacturer of the product through and they say it's a Windows 7 problem.  So, how can this work?  Thanks for any help you can give me...

Hello

Follow the steps mentioned below.

(a) plug one end of the audio cable into the headset of your cassette player or 'Line' jack out and the other end into 'Micro' of the sound card on your computer or "Line in" jack. To avoid any possible damage sound card, use if possible 'in Line' decision and not the "Microphone".

(b) launch Audacity and change the type of entry 'in Line' or 'Microphone', depending on what jack of the soundcard you are using. This indicates Audacity to record everything he "hears" the map of sound input. To do this, open the menu editing, then Preferences. You will then see a screen that should do what you need: use the "Device" selector to choose your entry (sound card, microphone, audio jack, etc.) and change the 'Channels' selector to choose between mono or stereo recording.

(c) press the record button on Audacity, then press play on your cassette (red circle).

(d) press the stop (yellow square) on Audacity when the tape is finished playing.

(e) use the menu option "file-> export to WAV" to save your record. The WAV file can be saved on your computer, converted to MP3 or burned on a CD. Get fancy with the Audacity audio editor features: you can cut, paste and add effects easily.

You must save a clip of ten seconds at first, so that you can play it will immediately return in Audacity (green triangle button) and make sure your volume levels is good. If the audio recorded is too strong or too static, decrease the volume of your cassette player.

  • Firefox does not allow me to copy and paste the content of Web sites. How can I solve this problem?

    When I enter this site, there are some areas that FIrefox will allow me to copy and paste. However, if the content is in the pictures, I get a message indicating that options copy/cut/paste is not available in Mozilla and Firefox. Then, the info box wonder if I want more information or to cancel the request. When I ask for more information, the system provides information on changing preferences; However, these measures do not seem to work for me. Help, please.

    Thank you.

    What measures have you tried - prefs.js or user.js edition?

    My recommendation would be to use Windows shortcuts to cut, copy and paste: Ctrl + x, Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v. You can also use the context menu for these actions. On most websites, you don't really need to use the buttons for these features.

  • Windows 7 does not allow me to reinstall because of the "battery".

    I have problems with Windows 7 on my laptop, so I need to upgrade/reinstall Windows 7. But I got an error message; Windows cannot be installed on a computer using battery power. If the battery is discharged during the installation, you can lose data. To continue the installation, the computer power plug. My laptop is connected to an electrical outlet, but this isn't the same power supplied with the laptop originally agreement. This is an AC 90W supply that is universal and I replaced my original agreement with this. How to solve this problem?

    probably you need your specific power cord of manufacturers.

  • Windows XP does not detect any internet at all despite the computer with the modem to work.

    I recently installed Windows XP Professional on my new iMac via bootcamp.  While Windows itself works fine, it won't connect to internet at all.  Despite being connected to a modem ADSL via a Ethernet cable, and also have wireless internet, Windows does not detect any signal.  On the internet in the Control Panel, all connections page that appears is "1394 connection" under the heading "LAN or Internet high speed."  I tried several times to put in place a new internet connection through the Setup Wizard and everytime, no internet is detected.

    I know that the modem works because all the other computers in my house are fine online, including on the side of Mac of the iMac.  If anyone has an idea as to how I should resolve this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Daniel

    Moreover, these are things I've already tried:

    I've tried to manually and automatically set up an internet connection
    I spoke with my ISP, the modem works fine
    I have re-partitioned the hard drive and reinstalled XP

    The "1394 connection" is the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) from your computer.  There should be cable system and under the heading wireless connections "LAN or Internet high speed."   There is no need to run the Network Setup Wizard or set up a new connection.

    Open the Device Manager (Start > run > devmgmt.msc ) and go to the network adapters section.  You may need to install the drivers for them.

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    I bought CS3 and LR2 nine from an apple store. I just moved to a new computer and it does not allow me to copy to my new without a product key. I started a conversation and they told me that I was out of money. $700.00 CS3 and LR $199.00. It seems of course after spending a lot of money with Adobe that it would be an easier way to take care of your customer than to spend another $900

    Help!

    Adobe programs should be installed, they can be copied from one place to the other.  If you do not have the serial numbers for these products, then you're probably out of luck to run again on any new installation.  If you have the discs, then the serial number is usually on the disc cover.

    If you purchase these items in an Apple store, they are not new... they are quite old.

    I doubt that they say anything about you being the money you spent, more likely, they say they provide is no longer support for older products and you conclude are you the money you've spent - this isn't something rare to hear - it is unfortunate, but are not uncommon.

  • Windows XP does not allow applications to use the virtual serial (COM) Ports

    Operating system: Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3

    I want to use some applications to control virtual serial (COM) on a device of PEARL IOLAN STS8 D/TruePort ports in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I configure the IOLAN/TruePort I see the COM ports in the Windows Device Manager and I am able to configure my applications to use ports.  However, when applications try to open the serial ports, I get an error saying that the port is already in use or does not exist.

    I tried various alternatives to remove/re-add the ports 'in use' in Windows before you configure IOLAN/TruePort and applications. This (sometimes) allows me to use the ports but if the PC is turned off later and rebooted the problem reappears.

    Is there a reliable way to create and use virtual COM ports in Windows XP?

    The IOLAN/TruePort Pearl versions are:
