Once and for all please help compatible headsets with mic 2 use wSkpe

I have been searching, on this Forum about this subject but cannot get a straight answer. I'm tired making my Skype calls using the speaker on my Mac. I got several headsets including one with separate plugs, one for audio and other for mic. It didn't work.
I also was told that I should get any USB based headset. I've seen some advertised including the one at the Apple store, way too expensive. Any suggestion where I could find a compatible headset and which model

Believe it or not, even though I own a 24" I alway try to keep my expenses to a minimal. I posted my question on the Skype's forum and was able to get some help.
I am now able to use the same headset (not usb based) to work, and now I'm using it flawless, and I didn't have to buy a headset from the The Apple Store or Skype. I paid $12.00 at Fry's electronics....

Account needs sorting once and for all PLEASE!

Hi, I have sent an email to moderators here as I did last time. Last time I was given a rebate, for incorrect bill. My bill AGAIN has not been worked out correctly. To be frank I am fed up of rubbish BT not sorting out my problems since September last year.
One thing cannot be done at a time, my whole account especially online is all in a mess, nothing is as it should be, and someone needs to go on a computer to go through it with a toothcomb to fix it. Rebate on a bill is not going to change the fact my bills are being generated incorrectly. STILL!
I wish to SPEAK by phone to anyone who can fix this as I am not going to continue this way with BT, and if they even try to charge me for no honouring my side of the contract, then I shall end up taking this up with a solicitor. I have even been charged £10 on my new bill for not honouring my direct debit, considering one of the foreign advisors had promised my bill would not go out my bank, but it did try to, twice and I was charged £50 from my bank, and you even try to charge me £10 for YOUR mistakes.
I am fed up. I have 8 months left on this so called contract. I do not intend to go on like this for that amount of time. I want my account sorted out once and for all PLEASE!
I apologise to you forum admin, and I know this is NOT your error, I am merely really frustrated at the lack of communication to fix my problems and have spoken via phone 3 times since my last forum entry to try fix my online account, and have been promised again it would be fixed and it is not.
Thank you

Outlook 2007 .ost file corrupt / scanpst.exe 3-4x daily & 3 to 4 runs before "clean", long term issue - need help on how to repair my .OST FILE once and for all, please...

I've had many issues with my .ost data file (couple years) with: very slow going into outlook 2007, scanpst.exe 3-4x before its "clean", and have to run it few times daily.
No major issues i can pinpoint, but just SLOW, hangs at times, file less than 1GB, IT people just mess it up more, etc.
NEED some PROFESSIONAL minds to help me get this data file cleaned up once and for all... forever hopefully.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Why the need to repair it?
You could:
1. Create a new Outook profile a different name and a new ost will be created ( leaving the old one there)
2. Close up Outlook completely, delete the existing.ost and re-open Outlook to create a new one.
3. Close Outlook completely and rename the existing .ost and re-open Outlook to create a new one.

Hello all,
I have used CF for several years now and bought Flex as soon
as it was released. In my process of understanding how Flex handled
Remote objects for CF I decided to use the CF Builder wizard for
Flex that creates all kinds of nice CFC's and stuff for me to
connect to a database and CRUD the data within. Ok all fine and
dandy on the local machine, works great, I am impressed! That is
until I try to upload the app to my Shared Server (HMS) and I get
all kinds of cryptic error messages like:
(mx:rpc:Fault)#0 error id = 0
faultCode ='Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail = "Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed :HTTP:Status 500"
faultString = "Send Failed"
message = "faultCode.Client.Error.MessageSend
faultString:'Send Failed'
faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.CallFailed: HTTP: Status 500" name = "Error"
rootCause = (Object)#1
code = NetConnection.Call.Failed"
description = "HTTP: Status 500"
details = "
http://www.MYDOMIAN.com/flex2gateway/"
level = "error"
So I have read the DOCs and read all the blogs I can find on
the subject but no one can clearly answer as to why I can not make
this work on a Shared Server if I can make it work on my local box,
Heck I can even tap into the MySQL database on the Shared Server
via the Flex builder. I use HostMySite.com with the CF package if
that helps.
If it is just a matter of something on my hosts end I need
them to configure for me that would be nice to know, or if I simply
can't use Flex and CF together on a Shared Server all together.
That would be nice to know. But for all the hype Flex is getting
and how easy it supposed to be to create an app with CF, I am
wondering why someone can not answer this question once and for
all. I know others have posted to this and many other forums asking
the same things I am. Is it too much to ask one of the Flex Gurru's
of Adobe, or anywhere else for that matter to help us out?
Not everyones wants to run their own server and I would think
that Adobe would have kept that in mind when creating Flex, and how
it would run on shared servers.
So please if anyone can help understand this please let me
know.
Thanks

Halodev / Peter,
I was JUST about to ask the same question. The problem I was
having was migrating a Flex app created on my local machine,
connecting with my local CF app, to a test (model of production)
server.
I knew the following:
1) The flex app worked as expected
2) The data was not an issue, as I mapped a datasource to my
production DB
My main concern was getting the Flex app to work on the test
server, but my biggest issue was the fact that the setup of my
local and test servers are different. Example, I have a single
instance locally, running off localhost. On my test server, I have
multiple JRUN instances on the D-drive (as opposed to the c-drive,
locally).
From this post, I figured out that I needed to change the
project properties to account for the different location of the
flex-config file. I right clicked on the project and selected
properties, and altered the values in the "Flex Compiler" and "Flex
Server" sections to reflect the TEST server locations of the
flex-config file.
Now, to make life hard on myself, the "d" drive on my laptop
is the CD ROM, and when I tried to enter the path in FB, I got an
error saying that the path was invalid. I looked into partitioning
my drive, but I was warned off it by our tech guy here (besides, it
seemed too much like real work!). SO, I burned a CD with the proper
path, just as a temporary solution.
I re-built the app, and deployed ALL of the files in the
local projects "bin" directory. It worked, eventually, but there
are some questions I have, maybe, Peter, if you read this you could
help.
1) I had trouble with SSL - my test servers use them (as do
the production servers). The SWF started to load but I got a 403
error (that is SSL related, I believe). I'm not sure if that was
when it was loading, or trying to access the CFC. Any thoughts on
this? Are there known SSL issues?
2) The whole "D" drive thing was a pain. As I mentioned, I
have multpile JRUN instances on my Test (and Dev) server - one for
each site. If I created a single generic site on the c-drive, would
all sites that access flex be able to use that flex-config file, or
do they need to access the local file? I'm not really getting how
the flex services-config.xml file relates. Maybe I'll re-read your
posts in this thread.
3) Do I need to copy all the files from the bin directory, or
is that over-kill? What is the bare-minimum code I need to get the
Flex SWF to run? Could I just copy a sub-set of the HTML to a
content management system?
Any help with the above is appreciated.
I'm not sure if I answered the original question, or
contributed positively to this post - I hope I did, and that
someone will find this information useful in the future.
Cheers guys,
David

World of Warcraft: Once and for all. HELP!

I have been having the issue below since the first expansion (Burning Crusade). I have been back and forth between these forums, Blizzard forums, telephone support and email support to no avail.
The issue is as follows: During the game for no apparent reason the entire computer locks up. Sometimes I can still hear sound, sometimes not at all. The only way to do anything is to hold the power button down until it shuts off. Many times after powering down and back up, the game lock up right at the login, sometimes at the character selection or right when I enter the world.
The only temporary resolution (albeit unacceptable) was to delete the Cache and *** folders from the WoW folder. This seemed to work as an immediate fix until the problem happened again. Now it seems with the latest patches and the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, this temporary fix doesn't even work. I even went so far as reinstaling my entire operating system.
Every time I have removed the folders indicated above I have also repaired disk permissions in Disk Utilities and even removed any instance of "blizzard" or "warcraft" from the ~/library/preferences folder as instructed by blizzard.
This is just speculation but I've noticed that the computer locks up when I swing the character's view around too quickly (holding the right mouse button and turning fast). Also, this last time the problem showed itself after adjusting the graphics in the game and being asked to restart it for the changes to take effect. Note that this the ONLY time I have ever set the graphics in settings so all of my previous encounters with the problem have nothing to do with that.
The problem only happens when playing The World of Warcraft. There have been many threads in blizzard with people complaining about the same problem. I'm at my wits end. Currently the came is vanilla (no mods or adjustments to any of the settings) and the game locks up as soon as I enter the world.
System Specs
MBP 17" 2.15 Ghz Intel Core Duo (~2005)
Mac OS X v10.4.11
2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
ATY, RadeonX1600, VRAM 256 MB, EFI Driver 01.00.086
If someone can help me resolve this I will make your bed for a week. Not good enough? I'm open to negotiations. =) Thanks in advance guys.

In regards to your comments first:
1) I've taken care of the heat issues years ago when I first realized how hot the machine was getting. I purchased a Rain iLAP aluminum pad. Right now the machine is encoding some video recorded off TV and smcFanControl reads that the temp is 90 deg C. The addition of smc is very recent. When I first got it, I set it to 4000 RPM when running WoW. The crash still happened. After that, however, I lowered all of the graphic settings to minimum in WoW and that seems to have cleared the problem up. I recently raised it to a step above the lowest quality and it is still OK.
2) You say investigate the video cards adequacy? How? I'm running on an ATI Radeonx1600 w/ 256 MB of VRAM.
3) What kind of latency? You mean in-game latency?
4) I have 2GB of RAM. How do I know if it is high quality or not. In the System Profiler it shows two 1GB slots both reading Type: DDR2 SDRAM / Speed: 667 Mhz / Status: OK
5) My internet connection is cable using Optimum Online (Cablevision). Normally I'm running on a Linksys wi-fi router, but the problem occured even when I connected and the machine to an RJ-45 cable.
6) I removed all mods and moved all the appropriate folders and the problem was still happening before lowering the graphic settings.
Some new questions:
1) If I had no heat dissipation techniques what would Apple tell me is the optimal temperature that the machine should be running at to avoid damaging it?
2) At what RPM does lowering temp with higher RPMs in smcFanControl become a risk to the integrity of the physical fans?
3) In the past, putting WoW in windowed mode would oftentimes cause the problem to occur immediately. I can't recall if this was after the game was running and the temp would have been higher, but does putting the game into windowed mode cause the comp to crash due to high temps?

Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

Even I cant believe this is happening again! i'm once again asking for help with my account. Since im very sick I ask that u look into my account and read the hell verizon has put me through and assist ending the hell once and for all even if that means ending my contract, i just want the hell over. I went into my bill tonight and the mess was still there I paid $110. that's what I owe

I guess I spoke too soon! I really can't believe this nightmare is not over yet! My account is still wrong. The credit that I was due totaled $63.00 I am looking at a message on my phone saying that $21.01 was credited which makes my balance $219.72. I received a text the following day that says, I processed your credit of $30.00 and your new balance $216.73 how is that possible? None of the late fees were credited and the amount due for my monthly charges are wrong. Before any changes were made to my data plan back in Nov. My monthly charges were $140.00, I needed my hot spot back and i was told that the hot spot will increase my bill $10 for each phone that totals $20. The customer rep that change my data plan at that time also gave me a credit of $20 to compensate for the increase until I had time to talk with customer service about the mix-up with my Hot spot. I originally had the hot spot, but the rep that change my plan almost a year prior told me nothing was changing except I was getting more for less money. I explained to that rep that I need my hot spot 4 times a year...and I don't want my plan to have any changes. To verify what I'm telling u check my account and see that I called from Albany New York wanting to know where my hot spot was and I was told I didn't have the hot spot on my account since the last data change! I lost money once again due to the verizon rep's. so my current data plan the rep promised would increase $20 which makes my monthly charges that were $140 prior to the change $160 after the hot spot was returned to my account. Then I was given a $12 credit per month for 12 months because of so many mistakes made to my account so with that $12 credit my monthly charges should $148 + surcharges + taxes and that's not what I see. I do know this much right now my account is in such a shambles I can hardly see the light at the end if there is an end! I need real help!

Please settle this discrepancy once and for all re: maximum ram.

My old iMac SE DV graphite was purchased and delivered in January, 2000. The original order catalog (which I kept) claimed that it was "expandable to 512mb", as were all the 400mhz G3 slot-loading DV models in various 'flavors' including my Graphite Special Edition model. Also, both / all versions had the ATIRage 128 accelerator with 8mb SDRAM.
The only differences I can discern are that my Graphite has more ram (128mb) and had a slightly bigger hard drive (13GB on the graphite vs 10GB for the 'fruit').
Note: I have since replaced the hard drive with a 20GB since the original died within the first 2 years.
On this disussion site and other places (including MacWorld articles) I've seen conflicting statements as regards the MAXIMUM RAM my graphite should/could have. Some say 1GB (2x512) and some say 512 (2x256).
Can anyone once and for all, settle this question for me so that I can make an intelligent purchase?
(and thank you for the info re: PC100 as the way to go, not PC133)
Thanks & Peace to all.

At the time of its release Apple certified it for 512 MBs probably because larger DIMMs weren't available. In fact you can expand it to a max of 1 GB (two 512 MB DIMMs.) You will need 2 - PC100 3.3V 168-pin SDRAMs.
I can recommend DataMem as a reliable source for fairly priced RAM for Macs. The item you want is here.

How to delete FOR GOOD, Once and for all, a podcast?

Hi I have subscribed to a podcast that I want to delete. I cal click on delete, it geos away, and yet the next time I start itunes there it is again? THis has been going on for a month now... so I hope someone can hlpe me get rid of for once and for all this haunted podcast.
Can you delete it from the folder instead of from itunes? I have never done something like this...
Please help! Halloween is over and this is not funny anymore!
nd

This sounds like something having to do with Home Sharing rather than iTunes Match. Nothing will be downloaded from the cloud unless you specifically click the button.
There is a setting in the Home Sharing settings of iTunes that will copy music from one computer to another when ever iTunes is opened on both computers at the same time. I don't have multiple computers so I don't remember exactly where that setting is, but this KB article should be helpful <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819>. If the page doesn't load the first time just reload it.

I was recently searching in my iPhone 3GS for a phone number, and the search hits revealed text messages that I have long ago deleted and would rather not have in my iPhone. How do I delete these once and for all?

It was the strangest thing. You would think that once you delete a message off your phone it is gone.
But in the "search iPhone" feature several key numbers like an area code reveal phone numbers of people
who aren't in my contact list, specifically the first few words of text messages that I deleted long ago.
I would like to eliminate these once and for all.
Will "Erase Content and settings" do this for good? Once I restore the phone will they come back?
Thanks.

Firefox does not print. I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING PROBLEMS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Firefox does not print. Mozilla doesn't seem to care to fix this problem, ignoring the numerous customer requests and pleadings for help. At this point, I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I honestly think the OP is making the correct decision to quit using Firefox due to all the print-related problems and Bugs that are in Firefox, '''that Mozilla doesn't want to fix'''. And there are more Bugs that affect only the Mac-platform (like the one where the user has to open a page in a new window for the 2nd web page printed from that window), than there are on Windows and Linux.
Users having to reset hidden preferences repeatedly isn't a cure.
The same 3 print-related Bugs in 2002 that caused me to take 6 months to switch over to ''Phoenix'' from IE 5.5, '''are still present in Firefox!''' I print nothing from Firefox these days without viewing Print Preview first, then about 10% of the time I do a "View in Opera" and do a Print Preview there - which shows a good print out 95% of the time (which IMO shows the page isn't at fault), and print it from Opera.

Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all

Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all
Hi and good day,
I don't listen much to music, but mostly audio files (radio programmes etc.)
But there is still one big drawback with iTunes:
What I want to do is to be able to __delete__ an audio file (or song)
on my iPad/iPod/iPhone (the Mac Library is there via Home Sharing)
once and for all:
I don't want to have to go back to iTunes and delete them there.
I want to delete them on the device and forget about them!
Please Apple it's about time.
Any suggestions welcome!
with best regards,

Once and for all - malware protection needed?

Can anyone tell me - once and for all - if I need to install malware/virus protection on my MacBook Pro and, if so, what is a legitimate and effective product? I have browsed other discussion threads on this topic and found that the responses tend to be obnoxious and argumentative. So, I would really appreciate only thoughtful, knowledgeable answers based on facts/data. Thank you so much for any guidance.

This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that is installed unintentionally by the victim of the attack. It does not apply to potentially harmful software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

Turn metronome off ... once and for all ...

I've seen the same question both here and other places on the web ... But I've yet to see a definitve answer/solution ... :-/
So : Is there a way to disable/turn off the metronome ONCE AND FOR ALL ! ?
Now I have to turn it off every time I start a new recording/take ...

It's a bug. Evidently, there used to be an option in the song settings menu that has recently been removed. You can see the setting discussed here: GarageBand for iOS 2.0.x (iPhone, iPod touch): Change song settings
COME ON APPLE!, This is a obvious serious BUG, PLEASE FIX IT! It is incredibly irritating for those that don't use the metronome. And don't claim that the setting has been replaced with the metronome button/icon. That button re-enables itself every time you press record.

Fining PATH (and MANPATH) once and for all

I think the correct list of directories in PATH should be:
I am trying to sort thru the endless confusion and set up PATH (and MANPATH) right, once and for all. Every package I install seems to have its own idea of what these variables should be.
I could set up a wrapper script for every installed command - but some subsystems, like Aquamacs and Python, let you create and use subshells. If the PATH in your subshell isn't the same as the one you use every day in bash, you could create bugs which are nearly impossible to track down.
My solution is to create $HOME/.setShells.sh -- which sets a uniform set of paths (and which will probably rewrite man.conf in the bargain). But I want to make sure that

Gack.
Please ignore this accidental posting and read the one titled
