What do I have to do in order to record without the headphones on my laptop?

I am trying to record my voice on my MacBook Pro. But the computer only recognizes my speech when I use the external microphone from my headphones. I tried using Garage Band and it did not pick up any sound, I even opened Skype to do a test call and that didn't work. The only time my computer recognized anything was when I used my headphones.

Never Ever do anything with an operating System without backing up first.
While it is usual for a new OS to install with no loss of data, the time you do it without first backing up will most likely be the time that you wish you had backed up.
In all of the updates and upgrades Apple distributes there is a recommendation to backup your data before installing.
The easiest option is to get an external hdd if you do not already have one, plug it into the mac and follow the prompts to use the drive for Time Machine. Note that any data existing on the external hdd will be erased so use a new one or one that you are confident is ok to erase without a disaster ensuing.
Also ensure that System Preferences -> Energy Saver has been set so the Computer Sleep is Never so that the backup will not be interrupted if this is the first backup or it is a long time since the last backup was done.

I have just bought a new I pad 3 and want to give my I pad 2 to a friend. What will I have to do to clear my info on the old I pad and set it up on my new one? How are apple I D effected and passwords cleared?
Any advice welcome.

To clear to old before passing it on, open the Settings app and tap on General (left hand menu). Scroll down and tap on settings, then tap on Erase All Content and Settings.
If you have been synching the iPad to iTunes on a computer, you should also have backed it up. If you havn't backed it, you will want to do so before clearing the settings and use the back up to set up your new iPad.

You need to completely repartition the drive and install a suitable version of OS X that you own. What is the exact year and model of this MBA you have? Did it come with installer discs? If it's a 2010 or later model you can accomplish this using Internet Recover: About OS X Recovery.
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport. I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't. What do I have to do to set mine up? The printer is an Epson R2400

I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport. I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't. What do I have to do to set mine up? The printer is an Epson R2400

Is there a cd that came with the printer?
If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
Make sure the printer is on.

Can you special order and iPhone without the oleophobic coating?

I know the old iPhones and iPods did not have an oleophobic coating on the screen. Alas, now all of their products have an oleophobic coating, which I am allergic to! I need to get a new phone and was hoping to switch to a smartphone, but yeah. Does anyone know if there is a way to special order a phone without the oleophobic coating?

No.
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Windows Explorer will display tag properties for mp3 & wma files, not aac (m4a) or wav. It is possible for mp3 files to contain multiple tags but only one will be displayed. Try inspecting the problem fils with a third party tag editor to see if you can tell what is going on. For mp3 files, provided all the details that you want the file to have are displayed in iTunes, you can try using the right-click option Convert ID3 Tag > None a few times followed by Convert ID3 Tag > ID3v2.3 which may well help.

I have an iPod Video. (30GB 5th gen) The headphone jack only works if I push the headphone cable input to one side and hold it t here. If I leave it alone it either doesnt play at all or I hear a crackling sound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

HT2693 The sound will no longer come through my headphones on my iPad I've tried several different headsets. The sound works as normal without the headphones but will still not come through the headphones even thoug I have tried to reset it twice. Please

The sound will no longer come through my headphones on my iPad I've tried several different headsets. The sound works as normal without the headphones but will still not come through the headphones even thoug I have tried to reset it twice. This is the new ipad with retina display and is only 2 months old and otherwise works fine. Please help!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPad. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

What do I have to do to order a photo book from Portugal? There is no photo service in Portugal!!!

I'm living in Portugal and I have created a photo book with iPhoto 11 with all the instructions in Portuguese. When I was about to order it, I couln't finish my order because there no photo service in Portugal. I'm very disappointed !! There is any possibility to order it from Spain? What do I have to do?

I have requested a moderator move your thread from the MacBook Pro forum. There is a separate iPhoto forum. This is a user to user forum, thus no one can really guess Apple's policy here. It may depend entirely on the internet provider's location that you are connected to, or it may depend on the iTunes Store settings or Mac App Store settings. There is this support page for ordering albums. One for the Spanish store, and one for the Portuguese store below:

I have deleted a sales order,how to retreve the same document number

Hai,
I have deleted the sales order,so that document number is out.When i craete the next order will i get the same number which i have already deleted.
I want the same number again,for that what should i do...
I dont want that number be missed,the reason is there should be a flow in number,with out missing some numbers in between.
Thx
Venu

Dear Venu
Yes this is possible but should not hand over the responsibility to end users.
B4 implementing this in production, please test a document and proceed.
Go to VOV8, select your order type and execute. There see what numeric value is maintained against the field "No.range int.assgt". Now go to VN01, [click on Status] tab and go to that number. On your right, you can see the last generated sale order number with editable option. You can change it.
For example, if your last created sale order reference is 805, you will see this 805 in the above area. Change it to 804 and save. Now if you create a new order, the reference of that particular sale order will again be 805.
But as I already mentioned, each and every time, you need to go and change this area which is not recommended.
thanks

Sending Purchase Order in mail without the spool generation

Dear All,
When i create a Purchase Order using Tcode ME21N, the PO should go by mail to an external email id as a pdf attachment.
A Z sapscript is used . The spool request is not generated.
Could anyone please let me know the method/code to use the script data for creating Purchase Order and send it via email without spool generation.
Waiting for solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavika

Hi,
as i said:
create an printer with devices type PDF1, set host spool access method to M (E-Mail to Receiver/Owner).
Use this printer as output-device.
To create and use a printer with PDF1 try searching in SCN or use SAP OSS.
Regards Dieter

HT203477 Font inspector when creating titles, do you seriously have to scroll in order to go to the font instead of typing the first letter?

There has to be something wrong with the font inspector.. When I create a title and I want to change the font I press the pull-down menu for all my fonts. The default font if Helvetica and I press the letter F to find Futura. The problem is it doesnt matter wich letter on the keyboard I press cause it automaticly goes to the top and i have to scroll thru all my fonts to find the one I was looking for. There has to be something wrong. Im new to fcpx but there is no way I cant just press the first letter of the font im looking for in order to go to "that" section. I press f-key to go to the section of the fonts that starts with the letter F.
Im going mad even the turds on youtube that have tutorials for doing titels are scrolling thru all of their fonts to get to the one they want.. seriously..?
Am I doing something wrong?

No you are not doing anything wrong. Perhaps it is like this because those single keys are shortcuts that the app uses, I do not know tho. It doesn't bother me. I stopped drinking coffee, perhaps...
Perhaps someone has (or will be) creating a third party Plug-In for this. Get rich!
No, really... here is what you do. Go to the Final Cut Pro menu and use the "Provide Final Cut Feedback" feature. They'll fix it the way you want.
Hope This Helps
