Headphones/mic doesn't work on macbook, iPad as mic? plus internet through macbook?

I spent a lot of time trying to set up a wireless network unsuccessfully so now I only have internet through a LAN cable on my macbook. The internal mic is broken on my mac (fixing would cost as much as a new mb). I have a pair of apple headphones + microphone (not the in-ear buds the plain $40 ones) I read elsewhere that only a mic with another power source will work with the macbook, I used to use a USB mic which worked so that backs that up. Any way around that? I'll end up buying another one I'm sure just wondering if there was a quicker fix?
Also, I have an iPad, no internet in my room since I couldn't set up the network, this is probably futile just wondering if anyone knew how I could use it's mic as an external mic for my laptop? Or if there was anyway to get it on internet through bluetooth or something, doubt it but just thought I'd ask!
Thankyou!

Amcon-
You would need an App to do that. I don't think there is one, but you can search the iTunes store.
If there was such an App, it might use the Bluetooth interface to communicate with the Mac.

Headphone jack sometimes doesn't work for my ipad air.

Headphone jack sometimes doesn't work for my ipad air, when watching a video or listening to music the audio in the ear or head phones cuts off. It's definitely not the ear phones it's the ipad because I've tried too many different headphones. It's been 7 months that I've bought it from the apple store so would you be able to fix it. Is there a fee?

Hello SungSungE,
please check out this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6288240
It doesn't perfectly answer your question but you will see that I have an answer from Apple regarding this problem.

With new os 5.1 for iPhone, the headphone controls doesn't work

i've noticed that with new release of os 5.1, the headphone controls doesn't work. no volumes controls neither the central control.
with ipad the same headphones works well.

I'm having the same issue, but without having upgraded to iOS 6.1 - it just started out of the blue last night.
Timeline:
It suddenly heated up, I turned it off. Battery at 87%
After maybe 45 minutes, I turned it on again. Battery at 45%. It would not charge at this point.
I tried MANY things, including turning off WiFi, mobile data, location services, Gmail sync (though not Exchange sync, which had given no problems before. I'd recently changed some Gmail settings, so I reverted them).
I tried to restore, but my crappy internet was unable to download the iOS 6.1 file.
I looked it up on the internet and performed a hard reset, after which the phone began to charge, to my delight.
I charged it to nearly full (92%) then lay in bed using Twitter and iBooks for some time, after which battery was at 65%.
After sleeping for around 7 hours, the battery lies dead. Attempts to charge it (both from the wall adapter, which is a standard India 220V charger, and from my laptop) are making it flash the Apple logo for around 4 seconds before the screen turns off; this repeats ad infinitum.
What do? The nearest Apple Store is three hours away and I have exams on; can't get away before Saturday at the earliest, so I'd like to have some use out of the phone in the near future.

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

I just bought RAR Extractor, but it doesn't work in my ipad. E-mail attached photographs can not be opened in "open-in"

I just bought RAR Extractor, but it doesn't work in my ipad. E-mail attached photographs came in .rar format. I checked Apples Store and found RAR Extractor. I bought, installed, erased, reinstalled again but I still can not see the photos. They seem to be existing in "open-in" folder. When I tap, it goes back to "Home" screen.

Have you contacted the developer? They would be the best people to help with their product.

Tecra 9100: Headphones out doesn't work

at my Tecra 9100, the Headphones connector doesn't work. The internal speaker do well. If i plug in headphones or external speakers, the internals are being switched off, but at the external devices i can't hear anything.
My soundcard generally works, i thought there could be a chance to fix this just by dis- and reconnection the wire/board from the front connectors to the sound board ... but i've never done any technichal stuff at a Tecra, so it would be nice if someone could give me some input how and where i would have to open it, and if this is even a chance to fix my problem.

Hi
According to your problem description I presume that Audio headphone port is defective. There is small switch that switch between internal and external speakers.
I have the same unit and it works well on my unit. I am afraid that you must contact service partner and check this mechanical connector.
Bye

Word Scramble Challenge Edition by Zynga doesn't work on my iPad.

The Word Scramble Challenge Edition by Zynga doesn't work on my iPad. It is listed as a game there, but there is no "button" for "Play Game" like there is on the other games and on my iPhone. I suspect the game, although listed, is not present on the iPad. Is there a way to download it. I can't seem to find it anywhere. It was automatically there on my iPhone when I got it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best, dlg144

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good. Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension. Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express. But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet. Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it. I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty. I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

I finally got it working. I was trying to set it up ethernet. My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode. So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'. Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it. So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
So here's the weird part. When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options. One would be 'ethernet' extended. So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem. This is when I got frustrated. I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options. One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was). And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful. I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from. It will work if only 3 options come up. And success if only verified by the big checkmark. Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it. Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with. It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
Thanks for the response. I really do appreciate it.
Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
- configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
Using Airport 5.6.1
1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
2) Following restart, Select Continue
3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
- if 4 options are present, may not work
4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger. The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
Thanks again.

My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.

my safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet. Some of the videos I can't see with the Safari browser, but I can see it with other brower. But my friend can see these videos with her safari. And I can not connect with the app store sometimes.

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

Can I connect Ipad 2 WiFi to Internet through 3G Android Bluetooth Phone?

Can I connect my IPad 2 Wifi to internet through 3G Android Phone's Bluetooth?

Not Bluetooth. You can connect if the phone has tethering/internet sharing. The phone has to put out an SSID for other devices to connect to. Like a wifi signal.

HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password. What am I doing wrong?

My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password.

If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart
