Can't Use Certain Earbuds on My Macbook

I recently bought a pair of Skullcandy in-ear earbuds (in-ear monitors for all your audiophiles), the Dub. I love Skullcandy. However I ran into an issue using them on my Macbook. I have Skullcandy's Icon 2 (headphones) and Apple's earbud with remote. Those two function correctly and when plugged into my Macbook I hear sound through them. However when I plug in the Dub the sound is still coming out of the interal speakers. I have also experienced this problem with the non-remote Apple earbuds my friend had. Their earbuds did the same thing. It appears my Macbook is selectively choosing which headphones/earbuds will function correctly. Is this a hardware problem cause it doesn't look like a software problem.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success.  Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

    He's knowledgable about exactly what your wanting to do.
    Some drawbacks, you can't boot from any OS (OS X or Windows) installer disk from a external optical drive the Superdrive goes into when you install the kit.

  • I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
    Problem:
    You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
    You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
    You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
    You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
    Solution:
    BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
    1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
    Applications : Canon Utilities
    Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
    and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
    2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
    Library : CFMSupport
    and if it didn't, move it there yourself
    THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

    can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    I have a Sony MP3 player. I tried downloading the software onto my MacBook Pro but it did not work. Can I use my Sony with my MacBook?

    What does Sony say?  Sony and Apple are not on the best of terms.
    Ciao.

  • Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

    Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
    If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

    Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

  • Can i use model A1290 on a macbook air

    can i use model A1290 on a macbook air

    If you are referring to the APPLE MacBook Pro 85W Magsafe Power Adapter A1290, then yes.  However it is bigger than you need for an MBA.  The smaller unit is a Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adapter for MacBook Air http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC747LL/A/apple-45w-magsafe-power-adapter-for- macbook-air or a 3rd-party equivalent.

  • Can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

    can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

    I don't use Office myself so can't really offer advice. I don't recall seeing your issue before. Maybe someone who uses Office will be able to help.
    As this thread is marked as solved it won't get the attention your query warrants. It would be a good idea to start your own thread discussing the problem - I'm sure someone here will offer the right advice/help.
    Make sure you note what Mac your have and what version of OS X you are running.

    Can I use my apps from my MacBook in iPad

    I read your info on the iOS and OS X - and have another question, if you know about this:  I have a project where I would like to use the iPad to enter data, etc (for mobilitiy convenience) but cannot figure out if the app is available for both platforms iOS and OS X.  (Some developer's websites do not show this info very well.)
    What can I do if the app is only for OS X?  I would like to start the project soon.

  • HT2208 Can I use Apple TV with a MacBook Air?

    Can I use Apple TV with my MacBook Air?
    The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
    I'll buy one now if it works!

    In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

    Can I use a mouse with the Macbook Air or am I limited to the touchpad?

    I had been wondering for awhile if I can use a mouse with a MacBook air if I was to get one (MacBook air) some years down the road (probably within 20 years).
    Now I know and I can.
