Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Try this even if you don’t see the red light.

How do I get the built in microphone to work on my IMac? Camera works fine, but I can't record voice.

How do I get the built-in microphone to work on my IMac? Camera works fine, but I can't record sound.

I always assummed that the mic was part of iSight (intertwined?). The mic is situated right next to iSight. It would seem to me the solutions would be the same some what.
Regarding the OP, I also suspect his/her problem is hardware. It's rather unusual for the internal mic to not work yet the iSight does.

How do I get my built-in speakers to work again

I recently had my built-in speakers stop working less than a year after purchasing my MacBook Pro 15". About 24hrs ago, my built-in speakers were working fine. At some point, I was using my bose headphones, and after I unplugged them, my speakers did not work. I've confirmed that the sound is not muted. I have sound visible on the desktop bar, but it is grayed out. I looked on my system preferences for audio output, and my speakers are not listed as an option. Only optical digital-out is an option besides my Apple TV.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing. If so, the internal switch is stuck.. Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch. If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.
Ciao.

How do I get rid of the ugly yellow that is on Mozilla desk top now? I hate it

how do I get rid of the ugly yellow on my desk top now with mozilla it is so ugly and annyoying? Can I change the color?

See my second reply here:
*[[/questions/1038807#answer-670671]] Who took a pee on Foxfire Start page; how get rid of yellow color?
Mozilla shows snippets on the about:home page to run different campaigns and that changes regularly.
If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page or if there are problems with a snippet then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set.
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder.
Close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.

How do I get my Built-in Mic to work in Audio MIDI setup, grayed out 1

My iMac is over a month old, and the first week I had it I tried to talk on Skype with a friend. My mic wouldn't work, and after making an Apple Care appointment with a local Mac store last weekend, we found out that the iMac DOES hear me, Dictation works with my voice, but for some reason Skype won't pick me up. Another program I sometimes use is Livestream Procaster, and neither pick up audio from me, oddly though they do pick up finger tapping on the desk, which is no further away from the computer than I myself am.
I Googled this issue with Skype and I found this page:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Apple-IMAC-Internal-Microphone/td-p/305172
It shows a screen capture using Audio MIDI Setup, and I opened mine to make sure everything was in order, but my CH: 1 & 2 are both grayed out, so I can't adjust them at all.
I have a screen capture of my window as well:
And I did check to make sure that my Interal Mic is selected in Skype, Livestream Procaster, and even my iMac's System Preferences. I wonder if it has something to do with this Audio MIDI Setup. I don't actually know, but from searching for solutions, this is the only thing that doesn't seem to match up with suggestions I've found online.
Thanks guys for any help.

I'm talking with a friend, and he says I'm muffled, and he can't understand me but can hear that I'm talking. When I turn on dictation to record what I'm saying he says I come through crystal clear.
The problem is I don't know if this is a Mac issue or a Skype issue. I was going to go to Skype, but when I found that page that I linked to above, that's what lead me to believe it's a Mac issue again because I can't get my Audio MIDI Setup to match the suggestion made by the user in that link.

How do you get the built-in camera to work

I have a new 20" IMAC. I set it up and was not able to get the camera to work. When I go to IChat the microphone enabled is checked and black but the camera enabled is checked but grey. When I go to Phone Booth it says that there is no camera or not connected. All I would like to do is take a photo of myself. PLEASE HELP
IMAC 20 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Hardware list go to USB. Does the built-in iSight show up in the USB High-Speed Bus?
If not, could be a hardware issue and you should call AppleCare to begin troubleshooting with them for possible warranty replacement/repair.

How do i get my dell v715w printer to work

How do I get my Dell V715 printer to work on my mac?

This solution seems to be working for me as well.
Also switched to using the Apple supplied "Image Capture Application" rather than the Dell All In One Scanner application in order to conduct wireless scanning. This seems to be working now also.
Note that for me, I had already installed the Dell drivers under OS 10.6, so they were present when I moved to 10.7. However, they just didn't work worth anything under 10.7. Sure, printing might work wirelessly, but scanning never did.
Was looking for a solution to this issue before my wife's new MacBook Pro 13" arrives with 10.7 on it. I think this Lexmark printer driver will work great on that system.
Thanks again!

How can I get the built in apps from iPad 2 to my iPad 1?

How can I get the built in apps from ipad2 to my iPad 1?

Is your iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1 and your ipad 1 running iOS 4? If this is the case then go through the update process on your iPad 1. All the iPad 2 apps running on iOS 5 that are compatible with the iPad 1 will be put on your iPad 1. Those apps that require a camera will not appear because the iPad 1 does not have a camera.

I set-up my iphone 4 from a back-up of my iphone 3 how do I get new built in apps back?

I set-up my iphone 4 from a back-up of my iphone 3 - the new built-in apps are not displaying on my phone - how do I get new built in apps back?

What apps are you referring to specifically. If they are preinstalled apps they cannot be deleted so may have been moved it onto a screen or into a folder, the Utilities folder seems to be a common folder for them to move to. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

How do I get ppt animation and timings to work in Presenter?

How do I get ppt animatins and timings to work in Presenter? Same ppt presentation different times each time I use the Publish function.

Hi,
Click on sync audio button to sync audio with animations. If you don't have audio in your presentation, then click on edit audio button, it will launch edit audio dialog where you can insert silence durations for each slide and manage the slide duration. Again for syncing the animations timing use sync audio button.
Thanks,

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
