Microphone not working mac book pro..help?

Late 2010 model 10.6.8...my microphone has never worked and I've gone through all the regular easy steps and still no mic?  Any advice?

Hi WebBrowser2,
As I understand your query its not a single doubt you are having at all, actually it’s a bunch of multiple doubt you are carrying here in your mind allied to Mac Book Pro (USB Ports are not working).  There might be various reasons behind- not working of USB ports in Mac Book Pro, as you already had searched out various ways to fix all your issues. A few months ago, I faced the same issue as my USB port was suddenly stopped to respond, then I also tried to find various ways to get rid of this issue, and I found an informative blog link which has fixed this issue and make me tension free.
For more information visit at- http://www.olmtopsts.com/blogs/when-macbook-pro-usb-ports-not-working.html
And I am hoping- it will assist you in the same way as it assists me.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro - HELP - problems with bootcamp = too full

    I have have a Mac Book Pro.  My drive is full.  Sadly I had the partition set up at a store that should have known what they were doing (NOT an apple store, but a certified store that carries only Apple products), anyway.. I am now at the point where my bootcamp is full.  I've tried reading a number of posts, but some things apply to me, some things don't so here is my situation:
    Mac Book Pro
    OS X 10.8.2
    Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Using Bootcamp with Windows 7
    I purchased Camptunes by Paragon and tried repartioning my drive that way.  It looked like it was going to work until the following error message happend:
    Windows filesystem verification failed.  Please, repair Windows volume and try again.  Windows is not letting me do this because I don't have enough room. Round and round the problem goes.
    Initially when I was trying to clear out my Windows side I found a bulky .NET program I wanted to delete.  It would not delete it for me (I can retry to look for that error message), but essentially it wouldn't delete it at all.  I have no temporary internet files I can delete, cookies or other programs (except my printer drivers), but essentially - I can't figure out what to do next.
    I read another post about a person who didn't want to backup their files first.  This is not me.  I do back up to a LACIE back up drive that has a 999.86 GB capacity with 872.11GB free.  What I want to know is do I have to buy another back up to keep it all completely separate?  What other program do you recommend to create a virtual drive?  Can I get a step by step on what to do?  I have the original windows disk if that helps in the equasion.....
    My head hurts.... help!

    interenet wasn't working properly and i couldn't finish
    Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the startup manager window where you can select the startup disk and reboot.
    Then try reformatting (erase) using OS X Recovery  About OS X Recovery
    Keep in mind, Apple does recommend a high speed broadband internet connection for OS X Recovery. A slow connection may time out before recovery is finished.

  • "Photoshop" Waiting for Bridge CS6... on a MAC BOOK PRO help

        I have a Mac book Pro, with retina display running on OS X version 10.9.4. and I cannot get mini-bridge to run.  Adobe first told me the problem was with Apple, I contacted Apple and the problem was not with them.  Adobe told me the problem was with my service provider and passwords and firewalls on my internet connection, check with Rogers and no problems.  Now I am told by Adobe this problem is with switchboard (Adobe owns this).
         I have tried everything on the FAQ page to fix the problem and I have also spent days on the phone with Adobe.  They have had me uninstall and reinstall all of my Adobe programs numerous times and I have spent hours at a time on the phone trying all kinds of “fixes”.  Adobe has told me on three separate occasions they have escalated this problem to the highest level of technical support and I still have no resolution. We (Adobe and I) have been at this for well over a month now and It’s gotten so, now Adobe doesn't even call me back anymore.
        The reason I so need this fixed is, as I explained to Adobe, I am in night school (now) for Photoshop and I require mini-bridge in class.  I am hoping that someone else out there has had this problem and knows what the fix is because I have no options open to me this time.  When Photoshop is launched and I clicked on mini-bridge all I see is waiting for Bridge CS6… Nothing more happens, Photoshop is version 13.0.6 X64.  I have stayed home the past few times Adobe has said they would call and nobody has called, it's getting costly at work.
    If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated and thank you.
    Help :-(

    Hello Gener7,
         I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times.  I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now.  I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4.  I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
         Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-)  I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work.  Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
    Thanks one more time :-)

  • My wireless hp 5660 envy printer prints from my iPad but not my mac book pro

    I can print from my ipad but not from my mac book pro, when I try to print from my Mac Book Pro the page just comes out blank...

    Hello @leafgirl ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.
    I understand you can't print from your Mac book pro. I would like to help.
    Since your iPad can print I think it is a software issue.
    Go into system preferences and remove the printer.
    I would also uninstall the HP software if any is present.
    You should then verify and repair the disk permissions.
    Then do an Apple update.
    Reboot your Mac book pro.
    Then install the HP software.
    HP ENVY 5660 e-All-in-One Printer Series Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.7
    If you need instructions on any of those steps, please let me know.

  • SLOW Mac Book Pro  help appreciated.

    Hello friends. I was searching the forums for help to understand why my Mac Book Pro is suddenly so slow... I found and ran etreCheck... so I'll copy and paste it here... the one item in read was that time machine is not configured.... anyway, here you go:
    Problem description:
    A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro started running slow… the spinning icon just keeps spinning… it takes so much longer to restart my computer now… 10+ minutes… more than 1/2 of my hard drive is free…
    This problem is more evident when I go to close a webpage or program or when I sync Itunes.

  • When I FaceTime my wife from iPad her iPhone rings but not our Mac book pro. They both used to ring. Mac book pro FaceTime doesn't seem to be able to send or receive FT calls

    When calling from the Mac book pro it shows up on my iPad and will say connecting but never connects. On the Mac book it just keeps ringing

    I can't believe it!!  But this answers my question.  I pair up quickly between my iphone5 and iMac, but cannot transfer pics from my iphone to the iMac over Bluetooth as I expeceted I would easily be able to do.  After all, I did this with my old Mac and a simple Motorola cell phone years ago.
    So, the answer is that file transfer from iphone5 is not supported.  Really!!
    Not sure why capabilites have regressed, this is disappointing, but thanks for the answer, at least I know to stop beating my head against the wall searching for some hidden box to check.  This seemed like such an obvious capability between Apple devices I couldn't understand why I was having such difficulty.  It seemed like it would be seamless, but it can't be done.  Baffling.

  • Buying a new or used Mac Book Pro - help

    I hope this is in the right place. I am considering whether to buy a Mac Book Pro - new or used. This is only going to be used for traveling which is only a couple times a year so I wouldn't need a huge amount of hard drive space. I would like to browse the internet, store pictures from my digital camera temporarily while on trips, and watch DVDs. Anyways, I am used to using Mac OS X 10.6.8 but that is old software. What OS do new Mac Book Pros come with? I see ones from 2007 on ebay - how many years are old ones like those going to last on average? How many years for the new MacBooks? I'm unsure whether to go with a brand new Mac Book pro or an older used one and was hoping to get some advice on this.

    Snow Leopard is still an excellent OSX and remains as the most efficient from Apple.  If I were in your position, I would only consider MBPs from 2010 or newer (Excluding the 15" 2010 which has GPU issues).  Any 13" model should meet your requirements and will accept any OSX that is available. 
    For second hand models, look for pricing on comparable models on e-bay and Craig's List.  If you want a new one, consider the refurbished section in the online Apple store.  You can save a couple hundred dollars that way.
    Ciao.

THen i ran a hardware test and got what appeantly is a heat sensor error. i don't exactly know if this i my true problem but can any give me any ideas of how much this repair would cost and if there is anyway to fix it myself. Thank you!

    Do you know how much is repair will cost? i had to get my mother board replaced about a month or two ago and i dont want to spend another 300 dollars

    What are you trying to transfer? What does the manual say for the Samsung to get whatever data it is that you want to transfer from one device to the other? This may be something you want to ask in a Samsung forum, since you are trying to manipulate a Samsung phone.
