My mic won't work on any applications. What do I do?

Ok. So whenever I skype call someone, My mic won't work! So I have to type in the skype chat while they talk. Kind of embarrising. Also, I need to make some screen and audio recordings on QuickTime Player. So I try to talk. Play back the audio recording. And no sounds! How do I get my mic to work?
Info on my computer: I run on Mac OSX Mountain Lion.

So do you have your internal microphone set as the input? Go to System Preferences > Sound > Input
And on Skype > Preferences, is this what you have set in Audio:

My mic won't work on my webcam? HELP!

OK, well you could try the "Macam" driver from here:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
...it supports lots of webcams - including some generic no-name ones from Staples!
Also: does the webcam ONLY have a USB cable? No 3.5mm minijack plug as well?
What application are you trying?
If Skype... under the Skype Preferences menu, audio-visual tab: are there any choices on the microphone drop-down menu?
Under the Apple Menu: System Preferences: Sound - Input - are there any choices shown?

This is because the iPhone 5C does not have a motion coprocessor: a chip that calculates and records your motion like steps and distance. Your iPhone 6 has one (it's called A8). In this case your wife can use a Health supported third party app (like Nike+ Running) to report this data to the Health app.
Hope this helps!

Search function in Help not working in any application

The Search function is not working in any application's Help. Upon entering the terms I need help for I get a hang at "Searching..." but never any result. This problem started sometime in the last year or so. Prior to that the search function in Help worked fine. My network connectivity is excellent.
I recently reinstalled OS X 10.5 but I'm sure the problem existed before that and persisted after the reinstall.
The reinstall was due to upgrading to 10.7 and only then finding that I had lost needed functionality, but I don't think this has anything to do with the current problem. All other aspects of Help seem to be working fine
I don't find any reference to this problem anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help with my Help(!) problem. Thanks in advance.

Try running your Leopard install disk again, as well as the 10.5.8 combo updater. This might reinstall any 'missing bits'.
You can do this without deleting the hard drive, just install straight over your existing system, but close all applications and external devices first.
Or you could also do this via an Archive and Instal:

Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

Did you try to set it up "as new device" without using the backup afterwards? How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device
If this does not work, get it serviced or visit your next Apple Store.

Flash player won't work on any browsers

For some reason, flash won't work on any browsers. I've tried Chrome, Safari and Firefox. I have always had to click on any flash element to load it however now, it just says I have to install flash. I have tried re-installing flash, uninstalling flash (checked it wasn't still in macHD/library etc)
I've searched around for any ideas that might work but can't find anything that's working. Does anyone have any suggestions!?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

QT7pro license number won't work. Any ideas?

I have a QT7pro license number purchased several years ago, now have reinstalled QT7 on W7, but license number won't work. Any ideas?

b noir:- It's a Windows license key. Has been fine on an old XP PC, but am moving to W7, so reinstalling everything bit by bit. I paid for it, should still be able to use I reckon, even years later. I can still log in to Apple and see the order number/license number etc, but it's just listed as an invalid key when used.
Technically I don't really need it any more, as I have other video conversion / production software, but it is useful for quick production of movies for website usage.
