Headset with Mic has never worked (the mic)

I have an iphone 3G with the most currently released software updates. I just realized the headphones that came with the phone were also a headset. They have never worked. I see a lot of posts where they "quit" working after an update. I have tried to plug/unplug the mini jack/etc. Nothing seems to work. The clicker does not answer calls/etc. I can hear through the headphones, just no response from the mic.
Any suggestions? Is this a software thing, or switch that needs to be enabled?

Hi
I had the same experienced before and had mine changed for a new Set.
Hope this is possible on your end and of cos has be still under Warranty - 1 year if no extended Apple Care ...
Cheers

If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

Many bluetooth headsets used on phones will work for your application. I guess no one has replied because there are so many.

Stereo headset with mic

Good morning. I have a quick question concering the original stereo headset with mic that comes with the IPhone. I have noticed here recently that the right earpiece has a much lower sound volume than the left earpiece. Is this a common issue or do I have an issue with my headphones? Are there settings within the IPhone where this can be changed? I currently have the sound check OFF, the EQ set to Bass Reducer, and the Volume Limit is Off. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Actually the Apple store won't replace your headphones, or any other accessories, for you. You would either need to call AppleCare or set up the repair/replacement service yourself: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

Internal microphone keeps on changing to external microphone when headset with mic is plugged in

Hey I want to use the built-in microphone on my macbook pro but whenever I plug in a headset with a microphone it changes the internal microphone into external in System Preferences>Sound>Input.
There is no option available to change it back to the built in microphone in the settings above.
I don't mind if I have to use a software as a workaround.
I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012).

If you can get an adapter that "hides" the mic band on the plug, no switching will occur.
But that will probably imply a trip to the tech shop anyway.
It might be simpler just to use regular headphones or generic ear buds.
I don't know where you live but around here just about every drugstore, convenience store, & even most grocery stores sell inexpensive ear buds & headphones.

Best headset with mic to use with macbook pro

Hello,
I have a headset with a mic that I am using through Skype and other applications to speak to customers.
The mic is connected through a stereo mini plug, going through the headphone input jack on my MacBook Pro.
The mic audio is no longer registering through the audio input, and I can see (hear through recordings) that the only audio coming through when I where that headset is being picked up by the laptop built in mic.
I've done some reseach on line and have a few questions:
1) Is there a known issue with mic audio coming through the headphone input?
2) Is there a known issue with mic audio coming through the headphone input specifically only when using Mountain Lion?
3) Is it better audio quality to have a headset with mic connected via a USB input rather than the stereo mini input.
4) Are there any recommendations for mic/headset combos out there or a brand that makes good product compatible with the MacBook Pro?
Thank you,
Suzanne

Good heatset mics very nearly dont exist.
If you want quality audio at all, mid-level grade USB mic is the best route.
And the use of headphones seperately.
Best mic sub-200$ is the Zoom H2n
Macbook Air uses a headset jack if you want a headset mic/headphone setup.
the downside being most mics on headsets are ubiquitously bad quality.
The PRO mics for laptops/ computers, most of them plug in via USB, not the headset jack.
SONY ICD-SX712 is a great choice (best "cheap" mic Ive found)

Ipad mini headset has never worked.

I have a brand new ipad mini less than 2 months old... Plugged in my headset and wont work and has never worked. The ipad mini has been in an otterbox since day 1 and yet customer service is giving a run around instead of investigating the issue. How can you look at the ipad mini and say I see a scratch on the outside so it has physical damage?

IPhone 5 won't start or charge or turn on and was not dropped recently and the power button has never worked

My iPhone 5 was not dropped recently however I went to use it and the screen was black, I plugged it in and nothing happened. When you call it it goes right to voicemail. The power button on it has never worked it always turns on when plugged in... Any ideas?

Are you certain that the battery has not run out? Have you kept it plugged into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes to see if it is just needing to be charged?
If it does not come on after being plugged in for 30 minutes or so, then without a functional Power button you cannot reset it, so you are going to have to try to put it into Recovery mode and restore it:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You may not even be able to do this since you cannot proactively turn it off, but you can try.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Photoshop Elements 12 installed on my PC has never worked.

My Photoshop Elements 12, which I installed as an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 on my PC running under Windows 8.1 has never worked. In cannot find a catalog. My Elements 11 worked fine under Windows 7 and still works fine after I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe techs and have had my local PC professionals examine the PC. They both concluded it is a bug in Windows 8 but if so I do not know to proceed. Help would be most appreciated.

did you see the confirmation?
if yes, uninstall, run the cleaner and try reinstalling - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
if no, google a youtube video on how to reset preferences.

I bought a MacBook Pro in September 2011 and it has never worked well.

I bought a MacBook Pro in September, 2011 and it has never worked well. Are there known issues with this machine? It just stops responding, usually for 3 minutes (especially when I'm working in iPhoto or Contacts). I regret buying this machine. I wish I could just go back to my previous MacBook Pro. Any chance Apple will just exchange this for me without it costing me my other arm & leg?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

ITunes crashes when doing a power search. I get a Microsoft Visual C Runtime Library Error message: Program C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe R6025. Pure virtual functional call. If I select ok, Windows 7 pops up with iTunes has stopped working

iTunes crashes when doing a power search. I get a Microsoft Visual C Runtime Library Error message: Program C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe R6025. Pure virtual functional call. If I select ok, Windows 7 pops up with iTunes has stopped working and then it shuts iTunes down. Anyone else every have this issue. Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks,

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
