Hello. Please, is there a way to record directly with a cable, or to export audio from Iphone 16 pro max to a mac? Thanks in advance.

I don't have a Mac, so hopefully I'm not overstepping here, but could you record on your iPhone, and then send the audio to yourself in an email, then save it to your map? Or, you could probably upload it to yourself, maybe using dropbox, or Google Drive, and then save it that way

If you connect your iPhone to your Mac using a cable, you can record the phone's audio into Quicktime.

Connect your iPhone to your Mac, open Quicktime and press cmd+shift+N to start a new audio recording. Under the "capture device" dropdown, select your iPhone. Make sure the volume slider in Quicktime is at 100% (or quieter if you need it), then start the recording. It's been a little while since I've done this, but I think you can use cmd+R to start and stop recording. If that doesn't work though, you can use the start recording button.

Note that you will hear your phone's audio through your Mac while you're doing this, not through your phone's speakers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. But unfortunately quick time player open button is always deemed, no matter if Iphone is connected or disconnected on Mac with the cable.

When you first open Quicktime, try pressing cmd+W to close all windows. Then use cmd+shift+N to start a new audio recording.

Hello again. Now it's working, but another problem comes up. It's recording only voice over speaking, and nothing else, I'm afraid. I'd really appreciate some more help, please.
