Apple's Mic & Remote Headset compatible?

I have misplaced my iPhone headphones and was looking to buy some new ones. I saw these online (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MzE3Mjc3OQ#overv iew) and they seem to be even better than the ones shipped with the phone and for the same price as a replacement. One reviewer said they worked with his iPhone 3G, while the rest seem to have not tried it. The page itself does not list an iPhone as a compatible device but I find it hard to believe it wouldn't work.
Does anyone know if this product will work on an original iPhone (or not)? Thanks in advance.

Hey,
You can also get the Apple In-Ear headphones: http://www.apple.com/ipod/inearheadphones/
The Mic and button on the mic works with the iPhone, like the headset that came with the iPhone, but the volume buttons on the mic do not work with the iPhone. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3310 gives more details.
I use them, they are a pretty good upgrade.

1st generation Touch & Apple earphone+mic remote

I have a 1st generation iPod touch. Will the Apple earphone/mic/remote work with my 1st generation iPod?

Conal Ho,
Yes and no my friend, they will work for listening to audio. However the mic and remote won't work. If you go to the compatibility parts on the following links you will see such:

Mic/Remote on headset doesn't work correctly with my iPhones iPod

Currently I'm using a third party headset because my original apple headset broke.. Sometimes when I first plug in the headset it'll automatically start playing music, fast forward songs, skip tracks, and randomly stop and start again. I usually solve this by unplugging the headset and plugging it back in. Once it has stopped doing all that mumbo jumbo with the iPod I can listen to music just fine but the mic/remote function doesn't work at all.. The mic doesn't work forsure because when I get called they cannot hear me.
I troubleshooted with my boss's iPhone 3GS and tried my third party headset on her phone and it worked just fine mic/remote and all. So I took her original headset and plugged it into my iPhone to see if it was a problem with my phone and it worked just fine.. I hear about people saying lint may be the problem in the jack but I took an air compressor and cleared it out and vacuumed it and no lint was found..
Anyone got any idea what could be the problem?? I really liked using my mic/remote so if anyone can help me out that would be great..

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

Using Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic on my Macbook

Is it possible to use the remote to control volume on my macbook? I know the mic works but I can't get the remote to. Is it even possible to use the remote?

I have a unibody Macbook with OSX 10.6.1 and it works with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic. However, whenever I plug them in to the Macbook it takes up to 10 seconds for the volume and tracking controls to start working on the earphone remote. Also, if there is music playing in iTunes, the audio drops out for about the same amount of time. The hardware buttons on the Macbook also stop functioning during this time. The same behavior occurs when unplugging the earphones.
Basically, it seems like the Macbook is extremely slow when adding / removing the earphones as an audio control device.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Thanks!

Apple Earbuds with remote mic/volume functions not working in Windows

So this is somewhat of a strange one. My new Macbook Pro early 2011 with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro with all latest updates (including the recent firmware and bootcamp releases) doesn't seem to see my Apple Earbuds with remote as a microphone and the volume commands from the earbuds do nothing. However this works fine under OSX and used to work with my mid 2009 MBP. Anyone else seeing this and does anyone know a way to solve this problem?

I'm having the same problem here. Did you find a solution?

Your thoughts.. lack of functionality Apple Universal Dock Remote Control

Most of us that toy around with the a/v out capabilities of the Touch are aware that standard remote control functionality is not currently available with the Apple Universal Dock remote. I can understand how mapping the multi-touch functionality to the remote's 'standard iPod wheel' functionality is like mapping apples (no pun intended) to oranges. But, I would imagine a firmware update could do the trick. However, I think it would be really cool (and expensive) to create a mini multi-touch remote.
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
I have posted my enhancement request, firmware upgrade first.. new remote second... to Apple's feedback site... please send in your comments if you feel the same way I do... they do listen...

What happens when you try to use the remote with an iPod touch in an Apple Universal Dock? I'd been thinking of getting Apple's dock/remote, especially because the features guide says,
You can connect iPod touch to your TV and watch your videos on the larger screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other iPod touch compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal Dock, available separately, to connect iPod touch to your TV. (The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote, which allows you to control playback from a distance.)
Does the remote have only limited function, then? What does the remote do, or not do?

How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

Trouble-shooting no sound through the right side of Apple earphones with remote...

Hope this story of trouble-shooting this problem helps someone in the future.
For some strange reason, when I listened to a podcast using the Music app through the Apple earphones with remote on my iPhone 4, the right side has no sound. However, when I pull the earphone plug out one notch, I get sound from both sides, but the remote controls no longer work. At that point, I was sure I had a hardware problem, but where it lay-- earphones or iPhone 4, I didn't know.
1. For my first step, I tried the earphones with another iPhone 4, and got the exact same results. That convinced me that it was a problem with the earphones, but then I tried them on our iPad and they worked fine!
2. That ruled out the earphones and got me wondering if both iPhone 4's earphone jacks were flakey or misbehaving. I had read about the old fuzz in the jack problem, so I used an air blower to clean it out, but it made no difference. I still figured that maybe both jacks were stressed in some way, although two of them?
3. Then I read that some people found different apps worked--and even specifically that running Skype could solve things. That didn't work. However, it led me to try various streaming apps (e.g., Portal to the Universe, NPR) and everything was fine-- sound from both sides and remote controls fully functional.
At that point, I was convinced there was something odd going on with the Music app.
4. Finally, it occurred to me to try other podcasts-- and even other episodes of the particular podcast. They all worked fine.
So, it ended up being one particular podcast-- and, while I still do not know why, it means that the earphones, the headphone jack, the iPhones are all in fine shape! Yay!
In any event, the bottom-line is that it's really smart to consider *all* the variables that could be affecting the situation--especially the most obvious ones that you wouldn't even think about it. As it turned out, in my case, I had tested the very same podcast on both iPhones, so no wonder I got the very same results!

I think you're right-- however, I always thought that mono recordings played through both ears--always worked that way on my old stereo system!
This podcast does that, too, but only if one pulls the plug out a bit! That's what's confusing to me. Why does it change from both ears to only one ear depending on far the plug is pushed in? (And especially as it behaves opposite what one would expect-- both ears when not plugged in all the way-- only 1 when fully embedded!)

Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.

Apple ColourSync 20 inch monitor compatible with G5?

Is the Apple ColourSync 20 inch monitor compatible with G5?

Yes, using the DVI to VGA adapter included with your G5 and a VGA to Macintosh Video adapter that you'll have to purchase elsewhere. Griffin has one (the Mac Connect) and you and probably find one elsewhere as well. For full information on monitor compatibility, see:

Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).
