I have been using the same external microphone for a while now. It stopped working today for no apparent reason. Use it mainly for Skype. iMac is not recognizing the device anymore. Works fine on a PC. Any help?

First try resetting the PRAM: See this LINK

If that doesn't work, do a SMC reset: Shut your iMac down and remove the AC plug from the wall socket. Let it set that way for 10 minutes. Plug it back in and boot up. With some luck, the mike will work again. Also make sure the input jack is not switched off - check sound settings.
