Why don't my iPhone headphones work with my Macbook pro?

I just got a 13 in Macbook Pro with a retina screen. My sound woks great from the internal speakers, but when I plug my iPhone headphones in and try to play music they just make a loud popping noise and then buzz. I have checked system preferences, the headphones are recognized and all the settings look correct. I have also tried resetting PRAM and SMC. Do I need to go to the Apple store? Is there a better fix?? Are these headphones just not compatible???

Are you sure? According to the Apple website it claims the headphone supports Apple iPhone headset with microphone.

When I try to download the new version of firefox my computer (MacBook Pro) tells me I don't have enough priveleges to carry this out

# Question
When I try to download the new version of firefox my computer (MacBook Pro) tells me I don't have enough priveleges to carry this out

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I can't use the new Adobe Reader X on my Macbook Pro. HELP!

The other day I downloaded the new Adobe Reader X on my MacBook Pro. Since then I can't open pdfs in Firefox. How can this problem be solved????

Hey vgamborg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This article should help you troubleshoot issues playing sound from the built-in speakers. Try the steps listed, and I quoted a part about the red light.
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1574
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
Have a nice day,

I have an 11" MacBook Air. When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer. Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter? (It works with my MacBook Pro)

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

Why doesn't the track pad zoom feature on my Macbook Pro work with the newest version of Firefoz?

The track pad zoom feature doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. It did on the previous version. I used to use Firefox as my default browser, but no longer use it very much due to the incompatibility of this version on my Macbook Pro.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

No sound when plugging iPhone Headphones into 2009 13" Macbook Pro

If I visit the Preferences -> Sound configuration, in the Input tab is shows the microphone activity when I talk into the microphone portion of the ear buds. But there is no sound when playing music. Under both sections, Use audio port for: Headphones with Built-in External Mic.
It seems like it knows what I plugged in and seams to want to use it correctly, but I just get no sound. I've tried these ear buds in my iPhone and the sound comes out of the ear buds just fine.
I've tried another set of ear buds that don't have a mic built in, and those produce sound when plugged into the Macbook Pro and the "Use audio port for" is set to "Sound Output." This seems to be a problem with the earbuds that come with the new iPhones. They are the ear buds that also have a microphone in-line.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'd really appreciate any help. I've played around with some setting to try and fix this. I've gone to audio midi setup and changed from 2-bit 16 to 2 bit 32 while the headphones are plugged in thinking that might have solved the problem after reading multiple forums, but that didn't help either.
I have Lion installed. 10.7.3. And it's a 2009 Macbook Pro 13" with only one external audio port.

Not sure about your iMac problem, but from reading about 16 different websites, this is a very widespread problem. I don't know how you ever got it to work, but everyone with a new 13" MBP with the combined audio port is saying that you have to use one of those special cables that has more "rings" around it like the iphone headphones that have a built in mic to use line in. Read this article http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1389284&highlight=audio+in+from+ste reo where there are a whole host of people complaining about this. Apparently there are some aftermarket parts you can get to solve this, but if I was you i'd make a trip to an apple store if thats possible, or pick up the phone and call them and confirm whether or not this should work. It seems they are advertising line in, and that is not possible without a combination cable. Either way I hope this helps you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help than this. Definitely opens my eyes about a combination port though. Please post back with your results, as I am considering buying a macbook air, and would like to know what i'm getting into if i'm using a combination port.

Why has my USB Superdrive suddenly stopped working with my MacBook Pro?

Why has my Apple USB SuperDrive suddenly stopped working with my MacBook Pro?
Normally I plug it in and insert a CD or DVD and it is immediately recognised, but today it took the DVD, made a 'whirring' noise for a few seconds and then stopped without being recognised.

I don't understand how to use the volume control on the new iphone headphones

I just bought the new style earphones for my iphone and it has a new volume control -- how does it work? On the old one you just pushed up or down for volume control but now it just increases volume for the time you hold it down? Does anyone know how to use this properly?

I have had good success with the System Font Panel. Now all of a sudden, I only get part of it. Any suggestions on how to restore the entire panel? There are no change size options in the corners like in some dialog boxes. I was going to paste what I have here, but for some reason, paste is not available.

Why doesn't the new Willow channel work?

None of the new Cricket (Willow) channel content buttons seem to work. Why is that, please?

My error, Allan. The device is Apple TV. But with a closer look, I now see one has to register on Willow.tv for a $14.99 package in order to watch the cricket content. Thanks for your help.

Will the new Iphone 3Gs work with Iphone 3G accessories?

So I have an Iphone 3G and of course I'm ready to upgrade to the 3Gs.
However, I have a car charger and the Video component cables for my 3G. Will these work with the 3Gs?

Your car charger and the video component cables for your 3G should continue to work. The reason some of the car chargers that worked with the first generation iPhone didn't work with the iPhone 3G is Apple removed the firewire pins from the dock connector with the iPhone 3G. A number of car chargers charged via firewire, not USB. The first generation iPhone supports charging via firewire, which is not supported with the iPhone 3G, and will no longer be supported with any future iPhone or iPod models.

Quicken Essentials for Mac is compatible with 10.6 and 10.7 at least. Looks like you can import your 2007 data as well.
