Why is the sound being played back on my retina macbook pro?

I bought a 13inch retina macbook pro on friday last week. I use Skype daily and chat with friends but I am having an issue. Lets say I am on Skype and chatting with people and I listen to music or watch youtube video at the same time the call is going. The person on the other line of skype can hear what ever is going on clear as day. I ALWAYS use my apple earpods while on skype and listening to music. I had a 13inch 2010 macbook pro and it never did this while on skype and listening to something. I took it back to bestbuy where I bought it thinking it was just defect and they replaced it for me, but this computer is doing the same. Is there a defect or something? I want to know becuase this is exreamly annoying.

He's talking about it happening when he's using headphones, that is not normal.
In your system preferences, under sound, in the last tab, use the test microphone function to find out whether Mountain Lion itself is causing you to hear things back or if Skype is sending your audio playthrough to the person your in a video call with.

Why is the internet faster on my 3-year-old Macbook Pro than on my iPad???

Though I love my iPad, I am puzzled why surfing the web is so much slower on the iPad than on my three-year-old MacBook Pro. I have a cable modem and an airport extreme. Loading the same pages on Safari, the MacBook is much faster than the iPad. Is this normal? Could something be slowing down the connection to the iPad?
Thanks!
Steven

Even a 3 year old MacBook has 4 times the CPU power and about ten times the RAM of an iPad.
You can run speed tests on the iPad and make sure that you don't have a connection problem.

Why is the power nap not supported by my 2012 macbook pro 13" ?

I tried to download the power nap update from the apple website but it keeps on saying to me that my laptop is not supported.
I just downloaded the OS X mountain lion. I read in the website that it is supported by macbook pro (retina. mid 2012) does this mean that it is only for macbook pro with retina display? if so then why is it available to macbook air?

It's only available on the 2011, 2012 MBair and the MBpro retina.

IPhoto slide show stopped working, just showing the first chosen picture, the same with the sound. iPhoto 9.5.1(902 17), MacBook Pro and Maverics. How to solve this problem?

iPhoto slide show stopped working, now showing just the first chosen picture, and the same with the music. iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17), operating system Maverics 10.9.2
How solve this problem?

There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually. Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.

How do I automatically log the battery percentage and time on my Retina Macbook Pro to an excel spreadsheet? (OSX 10.9.4)

Hello! So I own a 13" rMBP, and I'm running OSX 10.9.4.
How do I log my battery percentage with the date, probably down to the hour, preferably to an Excel file?
I want to track the rate at which my battery discharges, so that in the future I can compare the present rate of discharge with the past and see exactly how much my battery has deteriorated by. I'll take averages over long periods of time to account for, e.g. the fact that watching Netflix drains my battery faster than editing an essay. I also want a solution that uses negligible power in the background.
I've spent hours looking for an app that both calculates the rate of discharge and keeps all data, but I haven't found any. Eventually I decided that hopefully it isn't too difficult to write an AppleScript or something that simply logs the system clock and battery percentage in tandem every hour or so.
Thank you for your time!
Herman

What Barney said.
Here is the script to create a CSV text file with
Date
Time
Current Battery Percentage as an integer
#!/bin/bash
batterycsv="$HOME/battery.csv"
export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=never"
# if you want the percentage sign too, exclude the second egrep
battpct=$(pmset -g ps | egrep -o "(\d+)%" | egrep -o "\d+")
datetime=$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
printf "%s,%s,%s\n" $datetime $battpct >> $batterycsv
Output on a fully charged MacBook Air to battery.csv will be individual lines of the following format:

Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?, Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?

Hi
I am curious about why I am unable to play HD videos on my Macbook Pro? If i am using an HDMI cable to an HD TV, then I can't play any HD videos?
Please help (my computer knowledge is limited).
Curious learner

The short answer is you should be able to, but tell us what happens when you try and we'll try to help.
Can you play the video on your Mac's screen (not connected to the TV)?
When you connect to the TV with HDMI, do you see a desktop appear? (Before you start the movie.)
What kind of movie are you playing, and from where?

Why doesnt the sound play when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv play?

why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. And none were given here. It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

I muted the sound while playing angry birds and now I can't get the sound back. I have the sound on ipod, just not with the games.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
Regards.

Wma files getting error message the media being played is of an unsupported format

I have tried many methods of moving wma files from my pc to my 8310. Some work and others trigger the error message "the media being played is of an unsupported format" Why some work and other don't is mysterious to me.

See this KB for supported media formats:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
Now, that is for the native BB media player...if you are using this app you say you installed, then your query needs to be addressed to the app developer...
Hope that helps!

ITune jumps to the song being played at the start of each song - make it st

When I'm listening and working iTunes in another section of iTunes, the display jumps to the song being played at the start of each song. I then have to find where I was working at. How do I make it stop jumping to the song being played?

Thank you but it did not work. I changed it to selected item but I still bounce back to the song being played at the beginning of each song. I find this very annoying! Thanks but it did not work.. I did not mention but I'm using iTunes 7.

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,
