Can you mute the internal mic on the iPad 2?

Is there a way to mute the mic on the iPad but still use a clip on mic?

No, I don't think that is possible.

After using the internal mic for the first time I am getting a buzzing feedback from my audio output

After using the internal mic for the first time I am getting a buzzing feedback from my audio output

Go to System Preferences Sound Input and adjust the volume level down by dragging the slider to the left. With an audio app like Logic there is an option for input monitoring when recording so there might be a feedback loop if the volume is set too high. Garage Band works in a similar way. Always be careful when using headphones as the noise can be frightful and cause hearing damage.

Can you still get internal HDs for the G4 PB 12"?

I still use my trusty 12" Powerbook G4 for my hobby of freelance writing and photography. Indeed, the ONLY thing currently 'wrong' wih it - for what I need from it these days - is that the internal 40Gb hard drive is now way to small for all the stuff I want to keep on it.
Is it still possible to get compatible internal hard drives for it? If I can get a 500Gb internal hard drive, it'll save me the expense of having to buy a whole new laptop. Which seems a bit silly as the Powerbook G4 is still more than adequate in every other way!
(I know I could get an external drive, but an internal one woould be a whole lot better!)
Can anybody help, please?

Robin:
As noted, yes, PATA drives are still available for your computer. Here is a list of available drives for your computer at OWC. You do have a lot of tiny screws to deal with, but it can be managed. The most troublesome are two tiny screws on each side of the case. Be very careful not to damage the heads of the screws. You will also discover that the 1.5 GHz version does not have an EMI finger to be removed, as noted in the step by step directions. In addition to the step by step directions from iFixit here are few tips you may find helpful:
• Print out the ifixit directions as well as the screw guide ahead of time.
• Be sure you have the right tools. You don't want to damage the screw heads or you may never get them out. And the Torx screw driver is critical. For a spudge I use the handle of an old toothbrush (choose one made of hard plastic), cut off the brush and bevelled the handle end like a flat blade screw driver). For some spudge jobs a credit card will do the trick.
• Picking up on one user’s suggestion, I clicked on the pages of each step which involved removing screws to enlarge, then printed out the pages. I poked holes in the paper where the screws were removed, poked the screws in the holes and stacked the pages in order in which the screws were removed. Reassembling was a lot easier. No cups to tip over and spill. No guessing. Each screw was exactly in the right place. You can use an ice cube tray, egg carton, dixie cups etc. I previously used small medicine cups one for the screws in each step. I nested them so that the last ones out and the first to go back in are on top. (Some users report cutting up the screw guide and placing the applicable section in each container.)
• Be very careful pulling out leads. Hold the lead as close to the plug as possible and wiggle (the plug ) to loosen its grip. Don’t hold the wires and pull as that can damage the cable, or worse, in some instances pull the wires out of the plug. Indeed, some users have pulled the socket off the logic board! Use needle nose pliers or tweezers if you can access the plug, or nudge the plug with a small instrument to help loosen its grip.
• Use force gently in removing parts. Separating upper and lower case takes some doing. Use a plastic tool (spudge) so as not to mar the case.
• Refer to the screw guide when reassembling computer. Putting longer screws in the wrong place can perforate the circuit board.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

Anyone figure a workaround to use the keyboard to mute the internal mic on IMac?

Using Skype, or web seminars... it would be very helpful to have a keyboard shortcut to mute the internal microphone on the IMac... and other Mac computers. Amazingly, there is no listed keyboard shortcut to do this! Has anyone come up with a workaround?
Thanks, John sends...

It's not exactly what you want, but you can press the option key while clicking on the tiny speaker icon in the right side menu bar and then select 'Line In' for your input device as shown below. When you want to unmute, simple hold the option key and select the Internal microphone again.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

Can logic express 7 record samples with the internal mic

hey im thinking about buying Logic express 7, however im am wondering if it can record samples using the internal mic, or straight off the soundcard. for example say if i liked a sound i heard on youtube and i wanted to sample that sound so i could use it in a composition, how would i be able to do this? i have been doing this with my PC using a program called Audacity but im wondering if Mac has that option or more specifically if any Logic program has that option.
would anyone be able to help me?

thanks mate, does that come with logic? or is it a separate program, if so where do i get it and how much is it?

FaceTime limits the input level of the internal mic, FaceTime limits the input level of the internal mic

I can use Skype without any issue with my MBAir, but as soon as connect using facetime, my internal mic loses it sensibility (I've tracked it under the Preferences/Sound/Input). After disconecting, I can see that the mic starts functioning normally again.

you should be able to set it with the input slider in the Track "i"nfo pane

Nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic

I get nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic on my macbook. I'm running Maverick. Why is this happening?

Note: there may be other issues involved, but without further details I can only suggest that using headphones is the best way to accurately hear what you're recording, adjust gain levels, and avoid feedback. So this should be the first thing to try as you troubleshoot.

What is the details specification of the internal Mic of MBP mid-2012?

I've been wondering, what is the specs of the internal mic? It sure is great for normal chat or facetiming, but it doesn't sound very good for studio-recording tier.

The built-in mic is a very tiny mic. About 1/4" overall and the actual capsule is even smaller. In the MBP models that I am familiar with, it's located under the left speaker grille. As a single mic, it can only generate a mono signal but the final data stream is stereo with identical L & R channels. Given its size and location under the grille it's an amazing performer but you cannot expect it to match a studio mic.
In AudioMidi Setup you can adjust the built-in mic's sample rate, bit rate and gain to some extent. However, I have never found this particularly useful.
If you are doing studio recordings (or anything where you require fidelity and/or true stereo), you need to get yourself a couple of good external microphones. MacBook Pros used to have a multipurpose stereo analog audio input (up to the mid-2012 models) but newer models do not. Depending on the model you have, you may be able to use the analog audio input or you may have to get a USB mic, adapter or mixer.

How can you get audio for books on the kindle

The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs. You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.

How do I make the internal mic on my macbook air sustain better when recording on garage band? I have been recording an acoustic guitar and listening back, the mic seems to pick it up well naturally for 1 or 2 seconds then dramatically drop out.

I realised that you just need to go to System Preferences > Sound > Input > and uncheck 'Use ambient noise reduction'. mmm answered my own question.

OK, I went to Private Browsing to change Never remember history to choose Use custom settings for history and then clicked on Permanent Private Browsing Mode and clicked on the bottom OK. I then went to my Firefox messages and clicked on that internal-linked multimessage and then clicked on a link. It went there for only 1 second and reverted to the top of the message, not moving on further clicking.
I then went to tools > options > privacy only to find that the default Never remember history was back in the panel. It wasn't stable at Use custom settings for history. I tried this several times. It always reverts either right away or after that 1-second success. One time it lasted an amazing 3 seconds before reverting to the top of the multimessage e-mail. So THAT failed too.
OK, so then I went to Internet Explorer and called up that message. Clicked on an internal link and watched it fail for 1 second and then clicked again and it held the message for a long time. It's something in Firefox not Int. Explorer. Please see the image to let you know what I am doing.
