Why won't my Apple Earbuds' mic work on my iMac?

So my USB headset's mic stopped working so I went to get my earbuds to use that mic for now. Plugged it in the headphone jack, chose Line-In input in my sound settings and skype settings, and the mic doesn't work.

Hi...
The headphone jack is for audio out only.
For input, you need to use the input port.

  • Why won't my apple I'd work

    I Recently changed my apple Id. And it has updated on apple, but when I. Using my iPad to download apps and it asks for password it still states the old email address so I am unable to log in. How do I change that setting ?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

  • HT1222 Why won't my apple password word on iOS update

    Why won' t my apple password work to sign in iOS update

    The passcode you need to enter is not your Apple password. It is the four digit passcode you enter when turning on your iPad or waking it from sleep after an AutoLock. If you forgot your passcode you'll have to restore the iPad in iTunes.

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
    Hope this helps,

    why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
    To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
    Sorry its being pedantic - but I couldn't resist.

  • HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

    why won't my old airport express work?

    Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
    Won't turn on at all?
    Won't allow configuration changes?
    What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
    If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
    and
    If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number
    We can probably help
