Skype doesn't recognize my headset

I'm on a Toshiba laptop that has built-in speakers and microphone and Skype seems to only recognize those even though the same headset works just fine with Skype on my desktop computer.

Hey everyone, I've found the solution! 1. Go to "Manage audio devices" from your Start Menu. 2. Under "Playback", highlight "Speakers".3. Click on "Properties" in the bottom right corner. 4. In the "Speakers Properties" window, go to the "Advanced" tab.5. UNCLICK "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device." Hope this works for you like it did for me So where is "Manage audio devices" I can't find it.

Skype doesn't recognize my camera

Whenever I make a call in skype on my MacBook Air 13", it doesn't allow me to use my camera. It shows that there is no camera whatsoever. How do I get it to recognize it?

its a known issue on 10.8.5 , an update is coming.
read this link:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/OS-X-10-8-5-Broke-Skype-Video/td-p/1891729/pag e/2
Make a major update to an operating system,.... and a hiccup is possible and thats it.
The 10.8.5 update updated a CoreMediaIO plugin that accesses the MBA camera, but didn't bundle the 32-bits version of it. Other (older and newer) versions of the OS do include a universal version (32 and 64 bits), but not 10.8.5.
This means 32-bits apps such as Skype or iMovie cannot load the plugin, making the built-in facetime camera invisible to these them.

Skype does not recognize my headset after Windows 10 upgrade

Hi everyoneSkype stopped recognizing my headset after Windows 10 upgrade. I've tried the solution deactivating the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option. No success. The headset works on my other Windows 8.1 laptop and my Cellphone. Other applications, including Windows 10 microphone setup for speech recognition work. Here is something strange though. When I open up Skype audio tools and tap the microphone between thumb/finger Skype detects this and shows 4/5 green bars. Any ideas?

Your upgrade haven't changed the drivers properly.
1. Just go to Device Manager and delete the audio drivers.
2. Then restart your pc and switch on the internet.
3. Your drivers will be automatically installed by Windows Update.

5300 doesn't recognize headset

Hi,
Tried for the first time yesterday, plugging in the Nokia HS-47 headset that comes in the package with the 5300, and I get the message "not recognized", with the sound still coming from the phone while the headset's plugged in.
If I plug in the 2.5/3.5mm adapter, it gets recognized without a problem and I can use other headphones.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I've the same problem here.
The following procedure makes my 5300 recognize the headset:
Plug in the headset; wait a second or two; pull the plug out, til you see the first of the three black rings (1 mm perhaps); wait until the phone recognizes the headset; push the plug completely in.
A strange thing is, that sometimes the phone recognizes the headset normally every time and sometimes it does only work with this procedure. Probably the headset and/or the female jack is broken.
Did a new headset solve the problem for anyone?

Lightroom 4.4 Trial not opening on Mac OS X 10.6.8 - "doesn't recognize disk"

I'm trying to download a trial version of Lightroom and nothing seems to be working. I have Mac 10.6.8 and apparently LR5 isn't compatible. Adobe support suggested I download LR 4.4, which I did, and tried to open but it is telling me it doesn't recognize the disk and cannot open it.
Not sure what I can do at this point. I was really hoping I could try this out as I'm trying to expedite my current editing process and was hoping LR was the answer! HELP!

v2.8 still works on Mountain Lion, you don't have all the latest features, but a better user interface. At least you will have a working Skype, with audio in preference to video conference calls.
v2.8 is available from the Skype needs 10.5.8 warning at the top of the Skype Mac download page. If you want to run both 2.8 & 5 (theoretically you can by putting one of the Skype applications in a separate folder in the Applications folder), however, v2.8 & v5 handle chat/IM data differently, going from v2.8 to v5 will mangle the datestamps on every chat / IM in v2.8. Ideal & faff solution is to have a separate user account on the Mac to preserve chat data....

IMovie 8.0.6 doesn't recognize my iSight camera.

I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.5;
iMovie 8.0.6 doesn't recognize my iSight camera. The iSight camera works on Skype, Photo Booth and FaceTime. I hadn't used iMovie in almost a year, however, the last time it recognized the iSight camera without a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!

rudsmac4me,
The article linked below details a potential solution that may help get iMovie to recognize your iSight camera.
In iMovie 7.1.2 or later, you may not be able to use your built-in iSight camera to capture footage in iMovie. iMovie may not recognize the camera. This may occur even if you are able to activate the camera in other applications, such as iChat.

Rosetta Stone doesn't recognize my internal mic

I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.1) and I'm running Rosetta Stone Version 3, but it doesn't recognize my internal microphone at all. When I got to Audio Settings > Available Microphones, nothing shows up at all. How do I fix this?

Rosetta's response:
Vittal Prasad K: Thank you for contacting Rosetta Stone, my name is Vittal Prasad. How may I help you today?You: working with an iMac, the internal microphone will not work during setup
You: it is working fine on all other programs, and was working fine about a month ago with Rosetta
Vittal Prasad K: I understand your concern.
Vittal Prasad K: I have checked with our database and found that the program you own is Chinese level 1. Correct?You: yes
Vittal Prasad K: Thank you for confirming the information.
Vittal Prasad K: I would like to inform you that, it is recommended to use the USB headset to access the course. If you use an internet microphone then you will experience issues in speaking exercises.
You: we have had no issues until recently, was working fine and able to pass with 100% in speaking excercises
Vittal Prasad K: I understand that but as per the policy we are not authorized to assist learner who are using an internal microphone to access the course.
Vittal Prasad K: I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
You: really??? your software stopped working, and that's the response?

No audio and website doesn't recognize my log in but other browser do.

I'm and online student and they say it only works in Firefox, however, when I log on to their site it doesn't recognize my user name and password, then I request a new password and it lets me in, but when I go to play the audio exercises I get no audio.

Does the unrecognized login come back again and again, or have you solved that one by resetting your password?
Regarding no audio, some users have reported that Firefox does not work correctly with their speakers but it does work with a headset. Have you noticed anything like that?
More generally:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any improvement?

Skype does not recognize the .moe TLD

As the title indicates, Skype does not recognize any link with a .moe TLD. They are sent as plain text and any recepient then has to manually copy and paste the URL. This as you imagine become quite a hassle.
Was wondering if the .moe TLD is added to the list of proper URLs in the coming Skype updates. And if so, is there an ETA on the next Skype update that will have proper support.
Seems odd Skype is the only program I've used that doesn't automatically recognize all web links. They even are linked in a standard format: http://webname.moe
Thank you for your help.

Bumping this to gain more visibility.
Perhaps add into Skype that all text that resembles a web-link be shown as a link?
http* (so for http://stuff and https://stuff)
and perhaps:
www.*.
Not sure, I'm not a coder, but would love to see this feature. As I said in my main post, literally every other application I have used but Skype can recognize any links I use, even all those obscure TLDs / gTLDs. I'm pretty sure the Skype devs are smart enough to figure it out

ITunes doesn't recognize either of my iPods

I downloaded the latest update recently and since then iTunes doesn't recognize either of my two iPod touches (4th gen), even though the computer does. My iPad (1st gen) is still recognized normally. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it several times, and that didn't work. The iPods are recognized by iTunes on other computers. The computer in question runs windows 8.1, if that makes a difference. From the look of these forums it looks like I'm not the only one who has this problem. Please help.
