Can you use iPhone ear buds microphone with your MacBook Air?

If you use your ear buds to listen to your Facetime conversations, are also using the microphone on them to talk?

Yes you can. Any headset compatible with the iPhone works just fine for full duplex conversation on a MacBook Air of current design. The microphone and earphones are simultaneously active.

  • Can I use a T-shaped connector with my MacBook Air 1st generation?

    My charger recently stopped working and I was able to get a quick replacement. However, it's one of the old models of chargers with the T-shaped connector. WIll it still work with my MacBook Air. I know it's slanted downwards so that might pose a problem. Any answers or advice?

    The Magsafe 1 connectors can be used both the T and the L.
    The new Magsafe 2 connectors can't because they don't fit.

    Can both cams be use at same time?
    How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?
    Thanks for any tips.

    Plug it in and launch the app you will use to run it.
    paolo@spring wrote: ...Are there specific compatible webcams?...
    Yes.  In general, any current USB model (will meet the "UVC" standard) can work on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or newer.
    More specifically:
    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    paolo@spring wrote:... Can both cams be use at same time?...
    Multiple cameras can be connected at one time, but asking your Mac to actually use (capture and process) more than one video stream at a time might cause processor and data bus capacity problems.  The normal method is to connect your cameras and switch between them as needed, actually using only one at a time.
    paolo@spring wrote:... How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?...
    The software you use to operate the cameras controls that.  For more info, start with the answer in this topic link.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

  • Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

    Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV.  ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

    Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

  • Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

    Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
    I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
    Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
    And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

    If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

    If you are using airplay then that should be fine once the content is playing. You can't use home-sharing in this manner however.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • Can't use Launchpad on 10.9.5 on Macbook Air

    Can't use Launchpad on 10.9.5 on Macbook Air
    The Launchpad can be launched, but when I try to swipe either way, it just moves the icon panel from one side to the other but doesn't move to the next or previous page. I observed this on Macbook Air. Mac Mini seems not affected. Both system run exact copy of the system configuration and applications.
    I do have a couple of 100's apps installed but I didn't see it as a problem since the Mac Mini works.
