Line-In on MBP unibody and iPhone Headphone Mic

I wanted to use a speech recognition software but it requires a microphone. I do not have one but the iPhone headphones have a mic built-in that I have been trying to get my MBP to recognize. I have searched the forums but have not found a definitive answer on whether or not this is possible and how to go about doing this. In sys pref, when I have the headphones plugged into line-in it does not even recognize any sound but the internal mic does work so it is either the headphones fault or this does not work.
Any ideas?

thanks thats great!

  • Syncing Mbp itunes and iphone

    Why does iTunes in MBP show 1124 songs and iPhone 6 show 1135 songs. They should be the same after sync. Surely sync means what is on iPhone should be on MBP, and vice versa?????

    With Mavericks you sync via iCloud or you can try the below.

  • MBP Unibody and Mini DisplayPort to S-video adapter

    Why is the Mini DisplayPort-to-s-Video Adapter the only adapter that Apple can't seem to make? My late model PowerBook G4 came with its own S-Video out, which was perfect for running video to the dual overhead projectors in my Sunday School class. But alas, the PowerBook couldn't keep up with the multimedia video requirements I made for it, so I upgraded to the MacBook Pro (mid 2009). But I can't find a friggin' adapter to save my life! I've tried an external VGA unit, only to have the video rolls all over the screen with no way to stop it. All I need is one simple adapter: a Mini DisplayPort to S-Video /Composite adapter. Apple makes almost the exact same adapter, but it's for the mini-DVI out. At least the PowerBook had a full-size DVI out- all the MBP has is the single, stupid Mini DisplayPort. Why can't the fine folks at Apple make up their stupid minds which ports they're going to use?

    This is why I think that won't work. I might be wrong tho.
    Once you head on over to VGA from the Mini DisplayPort, you are then talking about an ANALOG signal. This analog signal must be changed BACK to digital in order to work with S video. So, what you need is a VGA to S video converter box. They are a lil too pricey for me, around $100 I think.
    What I was thinking was this. Since Mini DisplayPort and S video are both digital signals, you need to have digital all the way. I wonder if the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter shown here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
    would work when connected to the DVI to Video Adapter shown here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU1Mjc
    At that point you would need an S video cable connected to the second adapter...but if the first adapter is in fact transmitting a digital signal, the second adapter should then just pass through that digital signal to the S video cable.
    Has anyone tried this?

  • RSS feed readers (MBP, MacPro and iPhone)?

    hi all. new mac guy here. not sure if this is the right place for this question.
    is there a solid place to organize my RSS feeds? anything that will "sync up" in some way with my other apps? i noticed how Safari has "RSS" in the bookmark bar but this seems like a UI that does not work well for me. I have been reading this in my mail handler Postbox but there seems to be a bug in getting these into Postbox which makes it a bit tiresome.
    TIA for any advice.

    Take a look at the RSS Menu app from the App Store.

  • Win 8 - How to use StereoMix and Headphones Mic at the same time?

    I am using Windows 8 64 bit and believe I may have an IDT driver problem.
    I need to enable StereoMix and my Headphones Mic at the same time. I know this was previously possible with windows xp and windows 7.
    What happens is If I enable either Headphones Mic (Logitech headphones with Mic) or StereoMix the other one becomes " current;ly unavailable"  I cannot get them both to work together. I can get StereoMix and the Internal Mic to work together ( both enabled at the same time) but the sound quality is bad because the internal mic picks up noises from the PC. I need to have both my headphones mic and stereo mix enabled at the same time.
    The driver I'm using is the one provided by HP with the laptop. It is called sp59620.exe
    Would another IDT driver solve the problem? Can you think of another reason this is not working?
    Here are my specs.
    System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion G7-2251dx
    OS Windows 8 64 bit
    CPU AMD A-8 4500M
    Memory 8 Gigabytes DDR3 sdram
    Graphics Card Discrete ATI Radeon HD 7640G with 2 Gigs
    Sound Card IDT Audio
    Monitor(s) Displays 17.3
    Screen Resolution 1600x900
    If you cannot help, where else should I look? i have tried Windows and Microsoft forums and no one can give me an answer.
    Thank you.

    I have tried the instructions in that video and I cant get passed the very bad feedback i get when telling my recording device to Listen.  His secone instruction from his notes here
    ["Right Click the Realtech HD audio device and set as default if its not already.
    (note you may want to turn off any powered speakers you may have to prevent feedback.)
    -Select the Recording Tab at the top of the window.
    -Select the Stereo Mix device and set it to default if its not already.
    -Right click and select Properties.
    -Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
    -Change the drop-down box to the entry for USB headset and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
    -click ok to dismiss the window.
    -Right click on the USB headset microphone device and select properties.
    -Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
    -Change the drop-down box to the entry for the Realtech HD Audio device and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
    -click ok to dismiss the window.
    So, essentially, the game audio will play through the Realtec, your mic is also set to play to the Realtec. both audio streams are now part of Stereo Mix. Stereo Mix is being listened to by your headset allowing you to hear the game and your voice.]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Don't know about turning off any powered speakers.. the only speakers I have besides the headphones are the internal laptop speakers.  I get the same feedback if i have the headphones plugged in or not.

  • E6 and Bose Headphone

    Hello,
    I have bought the new Nokia E6-00 today and I like it a lot! There is just one thing:
    I can't connect my Bose headphones.
    I have the 'Bose on-ear headphones' with the 'mobile phone microphone-integrated cable'
    When I connect the headphone to the E6 it says: "accessory not supported". I get no sound through the headphones, and the headphones mic doesn't work (so nothing works). Instead the speaker and mic on the E6 itself keep on working.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is it a possibility that this will be fixed in an upcoming software update?
    thnx for your support
    Robbert

    If you are getting a report that they are not supported, then I guess that's the case, however, although not Bose, I've never found a set of headphones, wired or BT that wouldn't connect to a Nokia Phone, but there's always a first time ! Only thing I can suggest is to ensure they are firmly pushed into the 3.5mm jack point, as it does take a considerable amount of pressure, and other users have posted similar problems and that's been the issue, hope you manage to get them working, great product,
    Good Luck

  • Headphone mic damage from sweat or water after working out

    I am on my 3rd set of apple headphones w mic. I like to listen to music through my iPhone at the gym or while running and think headphone mic is getting damage from sweat and/or water. Yes I could use regular headphones, but I like being able to take a call if one comes through. I could also try to sweat less, but that's another discussion.
    Does anyone have this same problem or know of any 3rd party covers for the mic that work well? Thanks.

    You take calls at the gym? You probably should not do that; seems rude.
    I would go with the regular headphones and let any calls go to voicemail. It is likely you and the person calling can survive without contact for the time you are in the gym.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • Windows 7 and the mic on the apple iPod/iPhone headphones

    In summary, I do a lot of gaming with various online friends, and I tend to record the games a lot of the time too.
    Now the issue is that the best recording software I have for the games is DXTory, which is windows based. I'm fine with that in that sense.
    However windows 7 refuses to recognise the built in mic on the iPod/iPhone headphones that I bought about a month back (Before I was using the built in mic of my macbook pro and some now-broken sony headphones)
    Whilst the built-in mic does record audio incredibly well, it also picks up my macbook pro's fan noises, resulting in an annoying background humming for a video, and for others through skype etc.
    For the record, I'm using a Macbook Pro 15" (It uses an intel core2duo @ 2.66ghz and a Nvidia Geforce 9600m GT. Can't remember the year, but that should provide enough info), OSX 10.6.8 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    I'm going to bump this because it's kinda urgent that I find out if I can or can't use my iPod/iPhone headphone's mic.

  • IPhone volume not working and showing "Headphones"

    When I try to change the volume on my iPhone it shows "Headphones" even if they're not plugged or connected via Bluetooth (I'm sure there's nothing connected) and behaves accordingly (e. g. playing audio only when there is a phone call). With headphones plugged in it works fine, playing normal audio on the headphones and phone call ringtone on the headphones and on the iPhone speaker.
    I'm noticing this since I opened a game called "Dark Echo", that I've played only with headphones, without using headphones. The game says in the title screen "Headphones recommended". I don't know if this is the cause. I'm also pretty sure it isn't a hardware problem caused by dropping food or liquids on the headphone jack because the area around the jack is clean.
    I tried restarting the phone, deleting the game, reinstalling the game, cleaning the jack gently with a microfiber cloth, plugging and unplugging headphones, blowing in the jack, playing media and changing the sounds and music settings.
    My hypotheses are that it is an iOS 8.2 problem, a problem of the game or a hardware problem.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue and how can I resolve it?

    I resolved this issue by cleaning the jack with a microfiber cloth, blowing and plugging and unplughing headphones again.

    I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • MBP won't connect to wifi. iPad and iPhone will

    Having some trouble connecting to a wifi network. I'm staying at a hotel and for the past week I've had no trouble connecting to the wifi here. Suddenly, yesterday, I can't detect the network at all on my MBP but my iPhone and iPad have no problem. I need to get some work done so I need to sort this out. Most of the comments I've read on the forum involve people who have problems connecting to their home router but I haven't found anything yet pertaining to if you can't access the router. I know the router is working fine because my iPad and iPhone can connect so it must be something on my MBP. Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry. In my head I thought I had explained it well enough but looking back I guess it's a little fuzzy.
    Ok, so I've been here a week. To log in to the hotel network you just need to select the network and type in a WPA2 password. I was doing totally fine the first week but suddenly, when I try and find the network on my list of available networks it's not there. I see two or three other networks but not the hotel one. I tried join other network and typing it in manually but it still can't find it. My iPad and iTouch, on the other hand, have no trouble locating and connecting to it which is why I suspect it has something to do with my MBP.
