Why can I hear other people online when I get on my macbook?

When I am online and close my Macbook without closing the browser, then open it back up and resume online, there are times when I hear other people typing and music or whatever in the background. It's like wires of sorts are crossed. I thought it was because my bluetooth was on, but I disabled it and I acn STILL here other people. Can they hear me too? Is someone hacking my computer online?

what would make you think you can hear other people typing thru your macbook?

Skype Desktop Windows 10, Can't hear other people when skyping

Title says it all : P
PS: I am using the latest version

Me and a friend got the same problem, we can't hear other people in a group.

Can you hear other people, but they can't hear you? Here's how I fixed it.

If you're having the same problem I did where you could hear other people on a call, but they couldn't hear you and your microphone worked fine for everything else then you are in the same boat I was.
After a week of trying to fix it, a friend and myself have our phones working correctly again and my phone has been working fine for the past 3 days now.
To fix the problem, we re-downloaded the 4.2.1 file outside of iTunes and did a restore on the phone. (We both restored from a backup and it still worked). You can find the specific file download links on the 4th post on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 or through apple's support downloads page. Once downloaded, double click the file to open it (iTunes should open) and plug your phone in then do a restore. We both did ours from a backup and it still worked fine, the thing that has to be reinstalled is the update, which is what the restore will do.
It took my friend three tries of downloading until his worked, but for me it worked on the first try.
Good luck to anyone who also had this problem!

Good news! I believe I have fixed my phone!!
A friend of mine was having the same problem that I was having where you could hear other people but they couldn't hear you.
We fixed the problem by redownloading the 4.2.1 update. 4th post down on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 is a list of links to the update files. I downloaded the one for my phone and did a restore (from a backup) after downloading the file and double clicking it so iTunes opens. Since I've done this my phone has been working perfectly again!
It might take you a few tries, it took my friend 3 tries until his worked right and it worked for me on the first try. I'm guessing something was screwing up during the download.

Joining group call can't hear other people

I have looked over my setting multiple times and I can hear everything else on my computer but I join a group call and I can not hear the other people in it and it happens with other people as in like when other people join after a certain point I guess you just cant hear it anymore and we end up having to restart call like 5 times until everyone is finally able to hear again if anyone has any ideas on how to fix please tell

I am having this issue too. When I initially join the call, everything is fine but if I need to drop out for any reason, when I return, I cannot hear their voices. They can hear me, but it takes a total restart of my computer - not just the Skype application - before I can hear anything on their end.

Why can I see other peoples' WiFi networks but not my own?

This is a problem that started when an engineer came to replace our TV's set top box as well as our router a few weeks ago. I'll run through everything in quick bullet-point form...
-My flatmates are able to see and connect to our network with no issues at all on their XP laptops.
I, on the other hand, can not see or connect to our network at all. However, I am able to see other WiFi networks.
-Days of rebooting and replugging the router, my iMac and AirPort card prove fruitless.
-Throughout all this, the router is sat on top of the set top box, which is sat on top of the TV. I move the router down so its sat next to the TV and a plant. I'm able to see and connect to our network with no issues.
-Three weeks later, the problem has returned. I can't see our network but my flatmates aren't affected.
-Thinking it may just be poor reception in my room, I set up my Mac in the front room a couple of feet away from the router. I detect other networks, but still not my own.
-More unplugging and rebooting later, hallelujah, I can see and connect to our network. I take the Mac back to my room and try from there. No luck. The familiar XBoxLive8973498374, BT-HomeHub8934897, TalkTalk439847 (etc) and Sofia networks come up in my networks list as usual but not our own SpeedTouch459873439847 (etc).
We have a Thomson ST 585 router and I have an iMac G4 with the original AirPort card. Short of buying a new router, does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is situated a couple of feet from the router in the front room:

Our network is the one labelled SpeedTouch. As you can see, my AirPort antenna seems to be working perfectly. However, the SpeedTouch connection (and only the Speedtouch connection) would be lost intermittently for several minutes at a time.
This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is in my room:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2308733380_dcdc2faccd.jpg?v=0
The SpeedTouch signal strength is obviously not as strong but still reasonable. I don't seem to have any issues anymore; I can see, connect and stay connected to our network with no real problem - but I haven't changed any settings on the router.

I can't hear other people but they can hear me - skype issue

I was using skype on my mac and i closed the mac lid itself before opening it again, and when i joined the group call again, i couldnt hear anything but they could hear me. i restarted skype, restarted my computer, checked my audio, did the echo test, nothing. I even logged onto a windows computer and still nothing, so it must be something wrong with skype itself, but i cant find anything on it.i can hear notifications, see them, but i cant hear the ringing for the group call or their voices at all, with or without earphones.help?

try resetting the phone- press the home and lock button together until the apple logo appears. or go to the apple store it seems like a software issue

I can't hear other people in call.

I've just came across this issue where I get absolutely fine sound out of my headset, but when I try to be a part of a call, they can hear me, but i cannot hear them. I have checked that my playback and mic setings are on the headset, and have done a test call on skype where i can hear the voice. I have also done an uninstall/reinstall and still no luck. Any ideas?

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

3G service issues, no text sounds, hear other people's conversations, etc..

I'm having some issues with my new iPhone 3G... I wasn't having any of these issues with my old original iPhone... any thoughts?
3G reception... I live in downtown Denver. I've checked the coverage maps at AT&T's website, and I should have full 3G coverage in my area. I don't. In fact, if I have 3G turned on, I have no service at all... it actually says "no service" and I can make or receive no calls whatsoever. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store replaced the phone last week. This fixed nothing. They had no other answers and said they'd never heard of this issue before. My sister has AT&T with a Palm Treo and she lives on the same block as me. She gets fantastic 3G reception. My roommate has AT&T with an LG VU and gets great 3G reception as well.
Next problem... my phone doesn't make sound when I receive text messages. Apple support over the phone said to do a hard reset. So I did... and the sound works for a few hours... and then stops. The Genius Bar told me to do a restore on iTunes... so I did... and this seemed to fix the problem for a day, and then the problem came back. I did another hard reset, which again fixed the problem for a short while, but then the sound quit working again. This problem has been persistent on both my original iPhone 3G and the replacement 3G from last week.
Next... Two or three times a week I can hear other peoples phone conversations when I'm trying to have my own conversation, so I have to hang up and try the call again. And it's not like it's very faint... it's like they're right on the phone with me, but they can't hear me or the person I'm on the phone with. I've never had this problem with any other phone before. Both iPhone 3G's (my original 3G I bought a few weeks ago and the replacement from the Genius Bar last week) have this problem.
This next one is probably not so much a problem with the phone as with iTunes... every time I plug my phone into my computer to sync, it takes a minimum of 45 minutes to backup. I usually just end up canceling the backup because I don't have time to wait around. This is incredibly inconvenient... I don't understand why it takes this long. I have an iBook G4 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.4. I have the most current version of iTunes.
Quite often when I push the home button to try and do anything with my phone, the screen flashes and then goes blank. When I try to wake it again, the screen stays blank and the phone is completely unresponsive. I have to hold down the power button until the screen comes on with the option to turn off the phone to get the phone to respond. Both my original 3G and the replacement 3G have this problem as well.
Ok, I think that's it for now. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

Why can't I download anything online? This includes itunes, applications from the mac app store, and flash plugins.

Why can't I download anything online? This includes everything from itunes song files,to Apps from the apple app store, to flash plugins. I am also unable to install a game on disk. I get messages that 0 kb is available when I just got the computer a week and a half ago and only installed microsoft office and adobe photoshop. Help!

This is a confusing complaint...and kind of disturbing. Perhaps you could answer a few questions:
1. How much space is left on your HD? If there weren't any available space left, it would be very difficult to boot your applications.
2. Do you back up at all? Given your situation, it might be a good time to start, given the situation. Backup drives are relatively inexpensive these days.
If this problem persists, a visit to your local Apple Store might be a good idea - but until then, please let the community here help.

When I skype, and take videos, my microphone doesn't work. I know it's on but my friends can't hear me. How do I get it to work?

I'm sure you have checked, but make sure your mute button on the keyboard is not on , also check that you haven't touched the space bar during a call as that mutes it.
Check your settings in Skype>Preferences, Audio/Video tab. Here's what mine look like:

When i get in the car, if the audio is set on bluetooth the music will start playing automatically without me doing anything even if i don't have the music (itunes) running.
