Sennheiser MM50s with iPhone - can't get the voice button to work :(

Can anybody advise?
I am on the latest iPhone OS. The headphones are brand new and sound great - but the voice/music control button does nothing but switch one speaker off while I hold it.
Any advice welcome. I've cleaned the earbud socket with surgical spirit and my original headset works perfectly.
Thanks.
Steve

Sorry if my answer confused.
I don't mean you need to use excessive force to push it home, but I do need to make sure the connector is all the way in and that it's easy to leave it nearly-but-not-quite home, and when that's the case the mic button doesn't work.
I've just tried quantifying it. From the front of the iPhone, when the headphones are all the way in there's no more than 0.5mm of gold connector showing. But with as little as 1.0mm showing, the mic button doesn't work, although sound does in both ears (and sometimes it's louder than normal too).
(Because of the curve on the iPhone, there's a good 1-2MM of connector showing at the back even when fully inserted)
If you're confident the connector is as far in as it'll go without damaging something, then it sounds like you've got either something in the connector slot of the iPhone or duff headphones. Do the buttons on the stock iPhone headphones work for you? That would narrow down the problem for you...
PS: you don't need to push-and-hold; that launches Voice Control. A short but confident stab should play/pause; two quick pushes will skip a track, and 3 quick ones will go back to the start of the current track or go to the previous track if you were already near the start. I found the button on the MM50s a bit un-ergonomic in position and operation to start with but I'm getting more confident with knowing I've hit it now. There can be a 1-2 second delay between hitting the button and getting an effect though.

    Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!!  Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
    Here is the question:
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
      Here is the answer:
    //when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
        //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
        public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
                if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
                if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
                if (webText) removeChild(webText);
                if (tree) removeChild(tree);
                clickCount = 0;

    This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

  • Can't get the Submit button to work on Acrobat X

    I was having this problem on Acrobat 9 and so I bit the bullet and upgraded, hoping the problem would go away, but it did not.
    I have a simple form for an event which recipients will fill out and submit, emailing the entirePDF to others (not to me)
    I've done these forms a zillion times, no problemo, but this is the first time I've tried since upgrading from Entourage email to Outlook, and I have a sneaking suspicion the problem lies there somehow.
    Can install the button, all fine, but when I click it to test, I get this message:
    "An error occured while trying to create a mail document. Acrobat is unable to complete your request."
    Anybody know what I can do to fix this?
    signed,
    Desperate

    I gave up on the 'Submit' button long ago, as have others, I suspect.
    It fails in about half of the cases.
    Now I place a note at the top of the form instructing users how to manually attach the form to an email in case the button doesn't work – it's ridiculous. Thinking about it, it would be more clean-cut to get rid of the button alltogether.
    I also keep getting requests to provide forms as Word documents instead. Apparently people are way more comfortable with Word than willing to deal with idiosyncrasies in PDFs.

    Hello:
    Thank you for responding so quickly.
    I have added child and it has removed the error. However, the button icon has disappeared as you can see when you play the .swf and the reset button doesn't clear the stage of everything but the star and the back ground.

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
    Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

  • After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

    After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

    Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
    Operating system:  Windows 8.1
    Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
    Can you help me, please?

  • My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work.  Help!

    My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work.  Help!  How do I fix this?

    Do you mean the first section is starting at page one?
    And the second one now is starting at page two?
    So I would ask why you would need sections at all?
    Did you set the controls for Automatic Page Numbering?
    If you select the particular page where section two is starting in the Pages Panel, you could untick the Start Section option in the numbering and section dialog. That would remove the section. You cannot do that with the very first section, but you should set the first section to Automatic Page Numbering if you ever want to use your document with an inDesign book file.

    how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How can I get the readability bookmarklet to work

    Firefox 3.6.8 in Windows XP Home on a Toshiba netbook. How can I get the "readability" bookmarklet to work? It works just fine in Camino on an Apple mini desktop computer running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger.) Readability uses javascript, which I do have turned on. The problem (of it not working) doesn't seem to have anything to do with the NoScript add-on either, as I tried allowing everything on the page and it still didn't work. Any ideas of what to try next?
    ''Duplicate post, continue [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/746624 here]''

    Hi there.
    By chance, I too have the readability bookmarklet installed (but I don't use it that much, to be honest), and it works ok for me. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
