Why do I need a headset to talk on Skype? Doesn't my HP Pavilion dv6 have a built-in microphone?

I understand most laptops come with a built-in microphone so I'm having trouble identifying how to use it (if it exists) on my HP Pavilion dv6. It is cumbersome putting on a headset to chat on Skype all the time, and given the technology available, somewhat primitive. Anybody help?

CactusLander,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
Assuming your Audio setup is typical for Windows 7 or 8, and that (in general) your PC sound is in working order,
then the next place to look is in Skype.
Take a look at the following for "how to":
How do I adjust the sound settings on my computer and in Skype for Windows 7?
Start at the top and work down to and including the Section:
Checking your audio settings in Skype
Kind Regards,

Why do I mute or dial when talking on the phone? I used to not have any problems.

Why do I mute or dial when talking on the phone? Previously I did not have an issue. The phone seems very sensitive

The proximity sensor might have failed on your phone. That's what forces the phone to dim the screen when you bring it up to your face.

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

Why do i need three? - Google Talk Plugin, Google talk plugin video renderer and Google talk plugin video accelerator?

When I check my plugins, the following three, very closely related (in my mind) plugins are listed, and the "Renderer" still shows "Research" when checking to see if it is Up-To-Date. It seems to me I don't need all three. I tried removing the Renderer (yes, I know how to do that safely), but Google seems to continue to reinstall it (with one or both of the other two...?)...I'll ask this on a Google Forum too, since it's their product, but wondered if anyone has any insight. I obsess about plugins that need "Research" - Thanks!
Google Talk Plugin Video Accelerator version:0.1.44.24
Google Talk Plugin Version 3.15.2.12038
Google Talk Plugin Video Renderer Version 3.15.2.12038

Went to Google Talk Help and found advice to remove the "googletalkplugin_port file on [my] computer."
http://support.google.com/chat/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs ... and click "Voice and video plug-in unrecognized" under "Currently Known Issues"....
Now, the only Google Talk plugin I have in Firefox is
Google Talk Plugin Video Renderer
Version 3.15.2.12038
...but it does indeed remain "Unrecognized" by Mozilla/Firefox...

HT1414 i am in the process of getting my iphone4 unlocked from att to use it on straighttalk. why do i need to "back up" the iphone and all of this? i dont have an apple computer sooo, im a little confused on why i need to do this. can someone please help

Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!

Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

Which headset for talking via Skype ?

My kids would like to buy as X'mas present a headset stereo, it can be USB or with 2 plugs in and out.
Which one is better, some suggest the plug one because USB can give problems with audio.
Can you please advice.
Regards

Actually, I heard the opposite, that the one with the two plugs (3.5mm audio in and audio out) could cause audio problems, because of line noise. USB is immune to this because it is a different way of putting audio into the computer.
I use Skype myself, and just a microphone and headphones do. It is recommended that you have broadband, however, communications over long distances will distort audio, including conversations with dialup users.
There really isn't much a decision to be made when considering Skype, because audio quality varies more by connection, rather than the audio equipment.

Why do I need to reformat and erase backups on an external backup drive that I have been using for over a year, when I get this dialog box? The backup disk is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required.

Need step by step instructions to rebuild HD after fatal crash Pavilion dv6 Product #A1U59AV

Factory installed HD suffered fatal crash - nothing recoverable. Unfortunately cannot clone no image of the old HD is available.
Downloaded and installed Windows Home premium 64 bit iso from digital river but it does not seem to have any drivers. Also it does not seem to let me change the activation code with - right click Computer then properties. I want to rebuild exactly as it came from HP when new. Everything else on the computer seems to work since I have been able install Ubunu from Live CD with no problems.
Please help with step by step instructions how to rebuild. I am also awaiting recovery disks by mail.
Thanks

Just wait until you get the recovery disks. HP does not make a great many of the apps available to download. If you just want to restore drivers they are here at this website. After a digital river OS install you will need to use the Microsoft phone activation using the Key Code on the sticker. And yes, the digital river disk is generic and might not have drivers you need.

Why do we need static for main() .........?

Why do we need static for main method
class Sample
public static void main(String args[])
System.out.println("HI EVERYONE");
}

The Java virtual machine is another term for the Java interpreter, which is the code that ultimately runs Java programs by interpreting the intermediate byte-code format of the Java programming language. The Java interpreter actually comes in two popular forms: the interpreter itself (called java) that runs programs via the command line or a file manager, and the interpreter that is built into many popular Web browsers such as Netscape, HotJava, and the appletviewer that comes with the Java Developer's Kit. Both of these forms are simply implementations of the Java virtual machine, and we'll refer to the Java virtual machine when our discussion applies to both. When we use the term java interpreter, we're talking specifically about the command line, standalone version of the virtual machine; when we use the term Java-enabled browser (or, more simply, browser), we're talking specifically about the virtual machine built into these Web browsers.
excerpts Orelly "Java Threads" Chapter 1. (If you don't believe me). Did i do any fundamental wrong by saying interpreter ? Is that a Sin ?
That is why i told concentrate on what answer I gave regarding the question. I am not going to argue any more. If you don't like my comments then I am Sorry :(

Why do we need to Register a class ?

When the class is already present in jar file then still why do we need to load the class and use it. The jar file is included in the lib and would be available for the environment.
If any better explanation is provided will be very useful
Thanking you in advance

I assume you are talking about JDBC drivers over here. In general, otherwise you do not need to register classes.
In JDBC, this has to do with how DriverManager works.
When you load a driver class using the Class.forName(...) block, you are effectively executing the driver's static block.
The static block has some code in it to register the class with the DriverManager by calling the static method DriverManager.register(Driver d).
When your client code attempts to connect to a database by passing a JDBC-URL, the DriverManager iterates through the registered drivers and calls acceptsURL() on each of the drivers. The first driver to return a value of true gets to try connecting to the database.

Why do we need to put \\\\ for inserting a single \

Hi,
I wanted to replace the string h"i with h'i. The following code does that.
public class replace {
     public static void main(String a[]) {
          String hel = "h\"i";
          System.out.println(hel);
          hel = hel.replaceAll("\"","\\\\");
          System.out.println(hel);
My question is why do we need to put 4(\\\\) back slash for inserting a single \? Why not just put 2(\\) back slash? Your help is appreciated.
Sundar.

Hi,
Could you please explain bit more on this. Im talking about the second argument in replaceAll method.
All i want is to replace the double quote in the string h"i with h\i.
Why cant the code look like this hel = hel.replaceAll("\"","\\");
If i use this code i get the following exception.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 1
at java.lang.String.charAt(Unknown Source)
at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Unknown Source)

Why do we need Interim Storage Type ?

Why do we need Interim Storage Type ? If you say it's acting as an intermediatary buffer location... Then why don't we need any Interim Storage for Bin to Bin stock movement??
Any pointers will be appreciated .

You have answered the for your question number 1.
I am going to answer for your question number 2:
We usually have interim storage bins in interim storage types. But these will disappear after the stock moved from interim bins.
This interim storage type/bin concept is created to map the real business process. Let's talk about the examply GR from supplier. Usually,
Warehouse personnel, unload the stock from truck and keep a place called staging area. This is in SAP called Interim storage area.
At this time, transaction is completed for IM side, Ie the material document is created and MM-WM trigger point TR also created. and depends the SAP config settings, this TR may be converted to as a TO and waiting for the confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Why do we need GUID?

Hi All,
I noticed some posts on SDN forums talking about creating GUIDs and using them as primary keys in DB tables and Persistent Objects especially in CRM.
But I don't know why do we need GUID? aint the business key enough?
What are the uses of GUID?
I could not find any GUID fields in the standard tables in our ERP system (SAP NetWeaver 7.0)!!!
Could somebody please explain this to me or put some links on this matter.

Hello Mustafa
The previous postings explained the GUID in detail.
The only thing I like to add is - since you posted your question in this particular forum - is to mention the class CL_RECA_GUID (available on >= ECC 5.0).
In table DD03L you will find more than 2000 table fields named GUID, approximately 600 of them are key fields (on ECC 6.0).
Example: DB table CGPL_TASK (Project Planning: Attribute Table for Activities)
I think a unique GUID makes sense when either the "normal" business key becomes to complex to use or if business objects are shared between different SAP systems (e.g. you may have an EBP systems and your "normal" R/3 ERP system).
Regards,
Uwe

Cineform - what is it ? why does one need it ? what am I missing ?

Hello,
I am very puzzled with what Cineform is. I have been to their website, but they don't do a very good job at describing what Cineform is, or what it does, and why somebody would need it.
Could somebody who has a few moments, explain what Cineform is, and what it does, and how it make Premiere better ?
I just don't understand it at all, and I'm afraid I may be missing out on something important.
Thank you,
Dave.

Temporal compression is a way of making files smaller. Rather than storing all the data for every frame, you store only the data for the first frame, and then you store only the changes from frame 1 to frame 2, and then the changes between frame 2 and frame 3, etc. For any given second of video, 30 frames worth, only two are stored in full. All the rest only store the changes.
For news type programs, also called talking head shots, very little changes between frames, so this is a very good way to save space.
During a high action scene, a lot will change between frames, and it becomes more difficult to store the data using this method. This is why artifacts are created, errors during the encoding that do not allow a correct display of the video. This is also why a lot of professionals often prefer formats that do not create such artifacts in the source footage. Temporal compression is a good way of shrinking video for final display, but often causes issues when you use it to shoot the original scene.
It takes much processing power to restore those change related frames for display. Cineform takes the load off the processor by doing the work ahead of time. It converts the files before you import them, thus restoring the "change frames" to "full frames", making it very easy for Premiere to display them, and edit them.
