Have you checked System Preferences/Sound/Output to see if it is set to Internal Speakers and to make sure the Mute checkbox isn't checked?

How do I access Java on my Mac Pro so that I can make sure it's working so that we can view "watch instantly" on Netflix?
There are various browser scripts
1: Java (not needed much at all and highly advised to be turned off in Safari/Firefox preferences due to it's vulnerability)
2: Javascript (if off, needs to be turned on in Safari/Firefox preferences as it's used A LOT)
Note: If your using a NoScript type blocker, then you need to whitelist the site. Or drag a Temp Allow All button to Firefox's Toolbar.
3: Silverlight plug-in (needed for watching Netflix content, it's from Microsoft)
4: Flash (needed for watching a lot of web based content, but requires constant checks to make sure it's current as they have a lot of security issues)
Check your status here, works on all web browsers

ppl i fed up with my mac air while using my exchange email account, it takes ages to refresh and it doesn't send or receive instantly , no clue although that the same setting and server names has been set up on my iPhone and it is working totally fine
Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.
MacBook Pro:
Vendor Name: Apple, Inc.
Device Name: MacBook Pro
UID: 0x0001000A17016E60
Firmware Version: 22,1
Port:
Status: No devices connected
Link Status: 7
Port Micro Firmware Version: FFFF.FF.FFYou are correct, here is what Apple Says:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode. -

HT1941 why i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?
whi i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?
PwmBoat,
This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile... I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
You did not say what webcam software you are using...
======================================================================
Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
YouCam > Right-Side Settings >
Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
AND
CHECK "Capture with audio"
OK
You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too. (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
==========================================================================
I hope this helps!

Can i video chat with someone on a windows pc using yahoo messenger?
hi, i am considering buying a macbook laptop and would like to know before i purchase, can i video chat with someone using a windows pc with vista os on it if we are both using yahoo messenger? if so please tell me how to set that up correctly b/c the tech support site hasnt been helpful. Also, can i plug my Logitech QuickIM or ExpressIM webcam into the usb port and the macbook pick it up and allow me to use it with yahoo messenger to video chat with? can i still use the headphone earbud that came with the webcamera also if i plug it into the headphone jack on the macbook? if so how do you do that? i know that macbook has a built in webcamera, but i like to turn the camera instead of having to turn the computer all the time to show different parts of areas, etc. in my house, etc. please help me so i will know whether or not to purchase it or not. and also, can i use microsoft outlook to check my email with on a macbook, or what email program would i need to use?
email me at [email protected] with answers please.regarding video, yes you can do a video chat with another pc user. the pc side has to right click your name and find the "view video" (using yahoo mesenger and built in cam)
have not use audio though so i can not assure you that it would work. (but most probably it would)
as to using external cam and mic, you can try to borrow someone else cam or go to a mac store and ask for a demo
as to microsoft outlook... there is no mac version of microsoft outlook as far as i know. (correct me if im wrong) how ever you can use bootcamp and have windows installed and use your mac as if your using windows -
Updated to OS X 10.8.3,
While updating i read the notes about how you can now redeem gift cards with the built in webcam on the Mac App Store, Opened it up and Clicked Redeem > signed in la di da, and it doesnt seem to work for me.
Specs:
MBP 13 inch, Early 2011
8 GB Ram, 320 GB HDD
FaceTime HD Camera
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Help thanksHi ChuckN,
I have installed the update at home on an older 27" iMac, a new retina macbook pro 15", an older macbook air and a recent 21" iMac and on none of them does the redeem by camera option show up.
I would say to our north American friends this is something that has been working for you for a while and has only been announced as available in AU with the latest update for our region this week. Sadly updates don't always work straight up.
I am hopeful there is something I have not turned on but think I may need to wait for another update.
good luck Chuck! -
Just bought a mac air with OS X v.10.7 Lion, for work I need to read and write NTFS drives, I install MacFuse and NTFS-3G, but it can not mount (recognize?) External HDD, in my MBP with Snow lepard it work just perfectly... help please.
Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

I don't believe it's possible unless someone writes a webOS interface.
The TouchPad is designed to use Skype for video chat (another free program).

When I use Yahoo Messenger video chat the keyboard disappears
When I am using Yahoo Messenger the text chat back and forth works fine, but when someone sends me their cam I get a great picture, but the keyboard disappears, so I can't type anything. Is this normal? Do I have to buy the Apple Keyboard? Thx!
P.S. I am using an ipad mini wifi only.More likely a yahoo issue and not apple, since you are using a 3rd party app. Suggest contact the app developer or visit their support forum, or read the reviews and see if other users are having the same problems.

no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages
changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems
As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.Known issue, See:
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
this issue maybe fixed in beta/ nightly, you should try it
