Does mic/earphones work on MacBook with Facetime

Was trying to avoid bothering people next to me and plugged my iPhone 3G white earphones into the headphone jack on my new MacBook Pro (the latest sandy bridge 2011 model) during a facetime chat.
This caused the facetime chat I was in to either hang up, or the microphone would stop working.  I saw the same behavior with iChat.
Later I tried plugging them in with no chat running and (at least according to the control panel) both mic and audio seemed to work with the headphones.
Any idea what's up here?  Does just plugging the headphones in when a facetime/ichat is in progress mess something up?
I assume the right place to plug these in is the headphone port...do they just need to be plugged in before the chat starts?

Does AOL have a desktop version that will work on the MacBook Pro?
I was able to download and install the AOL Desktop for Mac from here >  http://daol.aol.com/software/desktop-for-mac/
The site requirements state v10.5 and up but I was able to install on v10.7.4 Lion.

  • Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime

    Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime.
    In fact I have given my iPhone to my daughter to use in Canada (purchased from UAE ISP) she is unable to use Face Time within Canada. ?
    Is it possibile to activate FaceTime in Canada if iPhone is purchase from UAE.
    Purchase under Points by ISP (No contract)
    Thanks

    Hello sir
           I agree what u replied for the above question, but because of the UAE request, you cannot deactivate the facetime completely from this iphone, they should stop working through SIM network. The iphone is a universal mobile which can travel all over the world, many tourist people will suffer due to that, pls re-consider in taking back and try to make it upgrading this software.
    Thanks

  • HT3310 Can't get remote and mic to work at all with my iPad. Anyone else having this problem?

    Can't get EarPods remote and mic to work with my iPad 3. Anyone else having this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?

    I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result.
    What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics?  It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system. 

  • Wi-fi not working on macbook with version 10.8.2

    wi-fi not working on macbook pro with version 10.8.2

    Ooops - that's not a good sign. I would first restart the computer and then hold down the option key while accessing the Apple menu and select System Information... then go under Network>Wifi and see if you've a card installed:
      Interfaces:
    en1:
      Card Type:    AirPort Extreme  (0x14E4, 0xD6)
      Firmware Version:    Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.106.98.100.16)
      MAC Address:    68:a8:6d:52:c5:70
      Locale:    FCC

      Wake On Wireless:    Supported

    Should look something like the above.
    If you don't see a card, then somethings up with your hardware that can likely only be fixed (or at least diagnosed) by an Apple tech.
    Good luck,

  • Need to get game to work on macbook with snow leopard?

    Downloaded Civilization Vfrom the app store on my macbook pro with lion, then moved it (via flash drive) to my macbook with snow leopard. When I open it, it asks me for the apple ID I downloaded it with, but after that it never opens or stays in the dock. Its like its killed the second it opens. Is there a way I can force it to stay open?

    We need to know which model you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier. Then post that information back here.

  • Internal mic not working on macbook pro

    Hello,
    A few days ago I was trying to use my macspeech dictate software on my new macbook pro for the first time, I had to plug in the mic it came with and it would not work. Now my internal mic will not work at all in any other programs. I made sure it was selected under system preferences but for some reason it does not pick up on any sounds. I have my computer all up to date with version 10.6.8. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
    Thank you

    I doubt that the update did it, My daughter Macbook has it too and it is a general update of Yosemite. But, if you can backup your files you could go to the restore partition and reinstall Yosemite. The reinstall only installs the operating system and usually does not alter any of the other files. But having a backup is always a good idea. You can start by holding down Option or Option R at startup to do the reinstall.I cannot tell you that this will fix the internal mic problem as it could be that it is defective.

  • Does airplay mirroring work on MacBook Pro late 2011 ( Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5)?

    Hi guys,
    I would like to use airplay mirroring on apple tv (3rd generation) with my macbook pro late 2011, unfortunately the airplay option does not appear in the display preferences (see screenshot below). Did someone have this problem before? Please advise!
    Thank you!
    Tial

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 Your computer is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, but you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion to get AirPlay Mirroring.
    Make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade. To turn on AirPlay Mirroring, select the AirPlay icon in the menu bar or open System Preferences > Displays

  • Does iWork 08 work on Macbook Air latest OSX ?

    Hi
    The forst time ever I own and use Mac OS. I just purchased Macbook air and will buy iWork soon.
    Will iWork 08 work on the latest OSX?
    Is there any Note taking program that is cheaper and can replace keynote?
    Thanks

    iWork 08 does work on Lion. Remember that you have to do the software updates before using it.
    Keynote is not a note taking program. It is a presentation program like Power Point on Windows.
    http://www.circusponies.com/  has an application called NoteBook. It might suite you.

  • Audio not working on macbook with Garageband

    The audio works with itunes and even the keyboard piano feature in Garageband but I cannot get audio to work with any garageband tracks. Any ideas?

    1. In Garageband preferences, click the Audio/MIDI tab and make sure whatever you are using for an audio input is selected.
    2. When you want to hear or record a real audio track, click the "i" on the lower right of the window, and make sure you've selected the appropriate input source for that track.
    3. Still in the "i" pane, to hear it, make sure the Monitor is On.
