I can hear a person on my mac has this happened to YOU?
Ok this is really strange but 3 days ago I was sitting at my imac typing away in word for mac when all of a sudden I could hear someone (like a but dial on a cell phone) I listened for a bit and started yelling "HELLO" but they could not hear me the only program that was running at the time was finder and word for mac. I called Apple tech and talked to a tech who told me he had never heard of something like this happening before. We were on the phone for about 30 minutes all the while the person I heard was still on my imac. I could hear cars racing by like their window was open and the sound was VERY clear. Funny thing is I live in the country and my road is silent during the day other than the occasional mower noise. I could also tell that they had hardwood floors because every now and again they would walk across the floor and then bang something on a desk or counter or something. I kept hoping the phone would ring so I could hear a voice or name so I could tell them my imac could hear them.. (it was like a baby monitor was built into my mac) ... they never answered the phone as it never rang, but I could hear them turning pages, sighing and breathing....
It was creapy. I called my daughter as she is a mac techy type and let her listen to it and she couldnt figure it out. The Apple guy could hear it but not figure it out. I called a friend who has an imac to see if she had ever experienced this and still no answer. Now today it did it again, and as I am typing this I can hear this person walking around, cars moving by the open window at fast speeds, turning pages, sighing, breathing and banging on a surface of some sort. It has been on today about 4 hours and now is sort of creapy and annoying at the same time. Anyone EVER had anything like this happen? It starts out of the blue and I can reboot and it is still there... but it stops as mysteriously as it started, yet sounds like they may be near a laptop because I hear a click like the top of a laptop being closed then they are gone. WEIRD....
Someone has to have experienced this before, but I have searched the net thinking someone would say something but I find nothing no matter how I word my search.
Anyway, any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and incase you need to know I have the following Apple products:
Ipad 3 (1 in home)
Ipad 2 (3 in home)
Iphone 4s (3 in home)
Apple TV (4 in home)
Mackbook pro (2 in home)
One could say I am a fruit tard as my kids friends call me. We are Apple all the way.
Ok the answer to Shootist007

To Mike Sombrio
I changed the frequency of the wireless router with the Apple tech to no avail and we changed it a few times.
To Csound1
Surprisingly the sound was not affected by the volume controls and the weird thing is I even tried playing an Itunes music track to overide the sound that was being made and it was playing but I could not hear it ... it was like this thing just toook over my mac. I could not hear the music and going to youtube same results could see it playing but no sound other than the creapy breathing.

When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic bc face time or voice recorder are not affected. I can't even use my headphones or Bluetooth to get around the problem. This has stumped 2 geniuses, they just try to swap it out for $150.
I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4. I can hear everyone but they can't hear me. Visited Apple Store and they said speakers were out, both bottom mic and top one for speaker phone. Said they were busted. Reloaded all software and didn't work. Got in parking lot and worked for 1 call. Now it's out again. Wanted $150 for new phone, haven't done it yet. don't know what to do.

Just tried to place a call with my new iPhone. I can hear the person I'm calling but they cannot hear me. There is a line across the microphone icon, which I took to mean muted but nothing changes when I tap it. What am I doing - or not doing?
is your mute switch turned on (above the volume) ? remove case and screen protecter.
is volume turned up?
if so do this
account security
Please call apple @ 1-800-692-7753 in USA
ask for the account security team
you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

Phone cuts out in middle of conversation, I can hear other person, they cant hear me, any clues?
I had the same problem with mine. It had a faulty proximity meter. When in a conversation, the screen should go black when it senses it's near your face. Test it by calling someone and placing your hand over the phone. If it doesn't go black, you may have the same problem. When that happens, your cheek can hit the mute button..

Hi I have a iPhone 4 and I seem to have a problem during calls. If I make or receive a call I can hear the person who is on the line with me but the other person can't hear me. This problem has occurred 1 week ago so please get back thank you
You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

I can hear other person on PC calls.
Hi,
I bought Lenovo U350 and since day 1, I am having this problem. When I start PC to PC voice call on Yahoo, Skype or Gtalk, I can hear other person for initial few mins. Then system makes a typical sound and I can't hear other person. I can see speaker showing some activity but i can't hear anything. Then I have to put the call on HOLD and then UNHOLD it to hear. Then it continues for few more mins and sound goes off. Then I have repeat it again and again. All other sound works fine. I can watch movies, youtube videos and hear mp3 songs.
I have tried -
a) Reinstalling sound drivers
b) Reinstalling all the messengers
c) Using headsets instead of using laptop speakers.
Could you please help?
Thanks,
Prasanna.Your microphone maybe malfunctioning . Try reset the ipad

hey guys, i had my CIT300 unplugged for a while, and just plugged it in the other night. Well, now everytime im on this phone i can hear the person but they cannot hear me. This goes for both Skype and landlines, do any of you guys know why this would be? It's very very important i get this fixed so any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the device is connected behind a router, consider forwarding these ports 16384-16482.

When making or receiving calls I can hear the person on the other end, but they cannot hear me unless I use the speaker option.
Look to the right in the "More Like This" box. Your issue has been addressed in countless posts. Always an act of forum courtesy to search before posting, FYI.

Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface. A recent network University policy change. The only way to fix this, is if you use a manual proxy configuration in Firefox. So all 100 + uni iMac's can only use Safari as I would need to do a profile push to all 300 students and I am unsure what file carries the proxy information.
