I want to use an external mic, on my DV6. But the on-board mic remains on. How can I switch it off?

On every other piece of kit I've ever used, plugging in an external mic (or headphones for that matter) automatically disables the on-board microphone (either side of the webcam on this notebook). I have managed to turn off the on-board mic but doing so disables the external mic input too. I'm running Windows 7.
Please help - it's driving me nuts!

I have an iPod mini 6GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it work?

I have an iPod mini, 6 GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it still work? Don't want to try and break iPod.

Do you mean that the iPod mini won't fit on the "dock" because of shape (of the iPod), or is the docking connection a different type from the "30-pin" dock connector on the iPod mini?

I want to order a second copy of an iPhoto book. Thought created in the smaller format only the larger format is showing. How can I switch an existing iPhoto book back to the smaller format?

To change a book size duplicate it (select the book in the source pane and press command and D) since text flow and picture placements can change due to the size differences - then click on change themes, select the same theme and the new size
check it carefully
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

I have a friend who is not very savvy with computers. He works on a PC. (There may be versions for pc OS versions) I use a Mac-your website will not show the PC pages to me. How can I find the proper URL to embed in a button?

Try going to the following
Tools->Web Developer-> Page Source.
You can also access this by way of keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U
The View Page Source option is also available via the right-click menu by just right-clicking inside the page window & it will be the penultimate menu item.

I want to use a portion of an iTune song but the section begins 5:48 into the song. How do I edit the sound selection?

Adding iTune selections appear to be defaulted to start at the beginning of the song, and you just trim the end off. But I want to start my selection within the song. How do I edit the song to appear on the video so that I can use a portion of the song 5 minutes and 48 seconds into the song?

Here is a reply I provided last week. Hope this helps. Noreen
Drag the song in to start of show. There is an icon that looks like a gear at the beginning of the green song strip. Click on this to see clip trimmer. The song will open in the screen on the bottom half of the iMovie screen. You drag the yellow start line to the place where you want the song to start. As my children have shown me, watch for the spikes to see the exact place, but listening along works also. You can trim a song from the beginning and the end so that you only use 30 seconds in the middle, if that is what you want.
I would also suggest using audio control to fade the song in, especially if you are starting at a loud point. The default fade in is half a second. I change that to 1.2 to 1.5, depending on the song. Also, if one song is louder than the next, you can equalize the volume by setting sound at 120% or whatever you think sounds correct for a specific song.
When trimming for a song at the end of a slideshow, you may need to drag the black (or any color) screen in to end and set duration for a few minutes so that you will be able to trim the song. Otherwise, the program will only drag in as much of the song as you have video remaining. I know that sounds confusing but once you try it, you will see what I mean. Once you have trimmed the song the way you want it, delete the black screen and fade song to end.

I want to transfer my ipods itunes collection to a flash drive to be able to use in my cars entertainment system without having the need for my ipod. How can i acomplish this ?

I would like to transfer my i-tunes collection from my i-pod or back-up drive for use in syncing with my cars infotainment system without having to plu my i-pod in all the time. How do I acomplish this? thanks.

First find out if the car's system will play AAC fiiles, as sold in the iTunes Store.
If it does, read the instructions for the system to find out how to add songs to it, because you have not stated how that is done. No one here can second-guess this.
If it does not, you will need to convert the songs to a format the system does recognise. You can use iTunes to do that. If you need help with that, you could ask. Once converted, follow step 1, above.
By the way, call me a sceptic, but one might be suspicious of someone who referred to Apple products as i-pod, or i-tunes, rather than iPod and iTunes and one might even wonder if there was some nefarious reason behind it...

After installing Flash player I still get the message "this website wants to run the following add in: Adobe Flash Player from Adobe Systems Inc". I click allow but the message keeps coming back and I can´t get rid off it. What to do?

Running Windows 7 Home edition, 64.

Alright guy's It always happens. Over 90% of the time it's just a matter of time before i fix my own problems. I solved my problem and now it works perfectly fine.
I'm gonna say how i fixed it so who ever finds this page on google can see how i did it. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player using the uninstaller from adobe http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe after i did that i went to my system32 folder and delete my adobe folder which still had files left over in it (Deleted the whole macromed folder) C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Note, You need to exit any browser you have up (IE,Firefox,ect) or else you will not be able to delete it and it'll say access denied. After deleting that i installed Adobe Flash Player with a .exe i downloaded from Adobe and it worked perfect! No more annoying message
Side note, I'm use XP so the marcomed folder might possible be somewhere else if you are useing Vista or Windows 7.

Since I began to use Time Warner Cable internet connection, I find it difficult to get Firefox to open. Firefox.exe opens, but the browser window seldom opens. How can I fix this? I use Windows XP Home.

A few times, I have gotten Firefox to open.

Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
Thank you

I'm using Time Machine and a LaCie external drive to backup. I also have a 8 GB LaCie flash drive I want to use for small jobs. If I plug the LaCie flash drive in, is my Mac going to think it is the LaCie external drive and start trying to backup?
