How to use my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro

I can not get the inline microphone to work on my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro. It will not reconize it. Help please!

I have an A1286(Early 2011) MBP with OS X 10.8.2. Using my headphone jack with earpods has been sporadic. Sometimes I get the mic, sometimes I don't. I just now took a paper clip and worked it around inside the jack. I plugged my headphones back in appears to be working. Could be something inside the jack is bent and not making contact with the mic part of the plug.
Your mileage may vary. I assume no liability if you damage something.
Tried it again and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. For my MBP I think it is a hardware issue. Either dust or something is getting in between the contacts and the plug or the contacts are just not touching the plug. I'm gonna take a crack at dismantling my MBP and see if it's something simple like bending the contacts so they touch the headphone plug.

The cheap & easy way is to just drag the app to the Trash.
If you want to get all of the associated files use an app deleting app like the free AppCleaner;

Just drag an app and drop it on the AppCleaner icon in the Dock and it will find and present to you all the files it thinks are associated with the app. You can uncheck any that you want to keep and then let AppCleaner Trash the rest.

No support for pse4, need help with help and everything else.What's a layer? How can I get help PDF from CD? I don't have a clue how to use this. I have a Macbook pro.

Need help with help pse4 not supported by adobe. how to do topics not available and I have never used any thing like this. Help says there is a download but have not been able to get it. What's a rookie to do ? Is there somewhere I can go to find out how to use PSE4?

The internet is overflowing with tutorials on PSE. Just google what you want and include Photoshop Elements 4 as part of your search term, or go to the library and they may have several different books on PSE 4. For PSE 4, you won't find a mac specific book, but that doesn't matter because the editor is the same on either program. Just substitute Command for Ctrl and Option for Alt in the keystrokes, and ignore anything about the organizer.

youtube has a lot of video tutorials, too.

How do I use Apple Backup with my new MacBook Pro?

I've been using Apple's Backup app from the old days of Mobile Me (remember when we had to pay to use Apple's cloud?). I've just bought a MacBook Pro and I transferred everything from my old iMac (early 2008 running Mavericks). Everything works fine, but my copy of Backup has reverted to demo mode, restricting me to just 100 MB per backup. It tells me that in 60 days, I will lose even that.
How do I transfer over my permissions to use this app?
Thanks!

If you have everything on your new machine, set up an iCloud account. System preferences/iCloud.

You may want to buy an external drive (they are cheap these days) and set up Time Machine on it.

Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it? How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)? Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not. But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
Thanks!

Thanks. I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat. Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP. Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had. I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack. A beautiful thing. I'll play with it some more to see how it performs. But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant.
So far, so good.

Something has changed - cannot use remote prointer with my new MacBook Pro

I replaced my 3 year old MacBookPro with a new one 3 weeks ago (late April 2010). I just discovered that my 4 month old remote laser pointer (RemotePoint RF VP4810R and RF wireless from SMK-Interlink - www.smklink.com) will not work with this new system. All it is supposed to do is advance (and go back) slides in Keynote. It works with every older Mac and every PC, but not with the new MacBookPro. I brought the device into the Apple store and it works with all older Macs they had but NONE of the new MacBookPros. Any ideas on what I can do? The store "genius's" blame it on the new chipset - a hypothesis with no solution. It used to be that Apple was plug and play. What is happening? One theory from Interlink is that they new Mac may not be effective in switching to lower speed USB devices. If true, it could affect many other devices.

I have found a temporary solution. Combining ideas from the Apple store guys (it's a chipset problem) and the SMK-Interlink customer service (new MacBookPro may not slow down for the really slow speed USB devices), I attached my combination card reader/USB hub I have to handle my multiple card types from my cameras. I attached the USB cable from the RemotePointer's RF Wireless device to the hub and everything works! So this may not be just a problem with this device, but any simple but slow USB device you plug into the new MacBook Pro. But that's my opinion, an untested theory.

Using MBox 2 With GarageBand on MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.3

Hi. This is my first Apple Support post. It was recommended that I post to this forum. I've been using my good old MBox 2 with GarageBand on my old MacBook without incident. Someone stole my laptop so I had to buy a new MacBook Pro the other day. On that system, GarageBand at first didn't recognize the MBox at all. A trip to the Genius Bar led to downloading a core audio driver. This enabled GarageBand to recognize the MBox 2 as an interface, and it records without much incident when the audio input/output settings remain on the DigiDesign MBox. HOWEVER, when I change the audio setting to the build-in output, all **** breaks loose. The selected signal bar starts registering a regular, loud, red-lining metalic beeping sound, and at this point the issue remains whether or not I change the audio setting back. They've tried several audio drivers at the Apple Store and nothing is working. Avid requires you to buy support codes, which is ridiculous, so any help on this forum would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!

I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

Using my iphone with a new macbook pro?

Hey, I had my laptop stolen recently and just bought a new macbook pro - can anyone tell me how to hook up my iphone to itunes? i've authorised the itunes account but it keeps saying i have to wipe the iphone and start again.. is there a way round this?
cheers!

Welcome to the forums!
First, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. Next, put at least one contact and one event in address book & ical, they can be fake, it doesn't matter. Next, connect your phone, do not sync at this point. Right click the phone in the device pane & select reset warnings. Next, go up to "File", "transfer purchases made on this ipod to this computer". All of your purchased music & apps will be transferred. Music you ripped on your own won't. You'll have to use third party software like "Touchcopy" for that. Use touchcopy first if you want the ripped music, as it will be wiped when you sync. Once all of this is done, you can sync. A popup regarding your contacts & calendars will appear asking to merge or replace. Select merge. Regarding the rest of your data, you can use phoneview to extract that before you sync.

How to use CVI 2009 with CVI 2012 installed

I have TestStand 2012 / CVI 2012 installed.
I need to also test using teststand 4.2.1 / CVI 2009.
I installed teststand 4.2.1 / CVI 2009 and can activate teststand 4.2.1 but I cannot access CVI 2009.
Is there any way to have CVI2009/2012 both available on the same computer?
Is there a way to compile CVI 2012 to work with TestStand 4.2.1?

Hi HMRJ,
You can have multiple versions of CVI installed on the same computer. Can you explain in detail what you mean when you say that you cannot access CVI 2009? Do you mean that you can't open it or can't activate it?
I am not sure I understand what you mean by compiling CVI 2012 to work with TestStand 4.2.1. You should be able to create a DLL from CVI 2012 and call this code module from TestStand. Are you receiving any errors when you try to do this?

How to use hard drives with the new mac pro

A few quick questions about upgrading to new Mac pro desktop
I currently have 4 internal hard drives for a total of 8T
What will the solution be to add storage to the new desktop?
I assume it will be thunderbolt options?
Lets say I wanted at least 8TB of storage to add to the computer
and attached the storage via thunderbolt will it be as fast data throughput
as the harddrives in my current computer hooked up to the external bus?
I also have a pci card running my audio plugins for Universal Audio how will those pci
cards work on the new mac pro?

Also will the transfer rate with the pegas be as fast as if the drives were connected to the bus in the machines like the old mac pro?
To answer that, think of this as a Bottleneck problem. The overall performance is as slow as the slowest device.
At this writing typical rotating drives can produce a momentary burst at 125 MBytes/sec or 1,000 Mbits/sec. Only FireWire 800 is starting to be a limit for that -- EVERYTHING else is faster. Thunderbolt-1 is 10,000 Mbits/sec -- ten times faster.
The best SSD can produce a burst at maybe 800 MBytes/sec or 6,400 Mbits/sec. There is not a big speed difference in an SSD RAID, because the latency is already low. But the 10,000 Mbits/sec of ThunderBolt-1 is still plenty fast enough for that as well.
If ThunderBolt-2 devices really can run a single data stream at 20,000 Mbits/sec, that does not make ANYTHING faster -- it just moves the ceiling (potential bottleneck) a bit farther away.

Can I use an LG GP08LU11 with a 2012 MacBook Pro Retina?

I have the above super drive. It is USB2.0 and shows up as a remote drive in Finder but I cannot Get Info on the drive or see the DVD that I have put into it.

You could purchase 2 mini displayport to DVI adapters ($30 ea) and use the 2 Thunderbolt ports. I have one external DVI monitor connected to 1 of my Thunderbolt ports. Works great!
Sorry my mistake. You said non-Retina.

Is LION 10.7.4 from App Store compatible with mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15"?

I just downloaded lion 10.7.4 from the app store, copied it to a pen drive in the right way (which makes it bootable & tested that and it boots on a 2008 MBP). Connected that pen drive to my 2012 MBP, booted by pressing the alt key, and when i selected the pen drive with the 10.7.4 installation, I get a no entry sign on the screen - basically meaning I cannot install lion.
Note that I have completely formatted my HD, thus losing the lion recovery partition, so thats why I am having to install from the pen drive.

You can install lion on that Mac you just have to start it and be sure to connect to a good internet connection. I suggest you are plugged in to a router directly. Then it should prompt you and when you sign in it will see that you purchased Lion and will verify your mac then it will guide you through the rest of the install. try doing that before you restoe it , you may waste alot of time considering you formatted. Otherwise if it is a mid-2012 it absolutely is compatible and you can call Applecare and they will guide you through it with ease.
The firmware on your mac is what will pull up the promt for connecting to the internet and other such utilities.
Good luck and enjoy !

My sound speakers defective or committed to cough for me and tell me what to do?

Turn the internal mic level off. Use headphones as monitors.
