[QUOTE="Aztech, post: 678938, member: 57469"] Hmm, newbie questions... I was their once, prob still am actually lol ! Well, Number 1. Due to the fact you can actually send files to your phone, this give me the impression your Bluetooth is actually working fine, so its a sharing issue... Go into your system preferences, click the icon "Sharing" and make sure that their is a tick in the box next to "Bluetooth Sharing" and configure the relevant options to the right (such as where to save stuff, etc)... that might be your problem... Number 2... USB Mic, sorry never heard of that issue... iv used several 3.5mm mic's over the years to record audio into my mac (when its been running windows and OS X)... so not sure about that one, sounds like it might be just a rubbish mic (sorry, eek)... but their are numerous USB ones out their, take a peak on the 'creative' webstore and see which ones come with OS X drivers (betting good money says it will be the most expensive ones lol) Number 3... Sorry, not too sure on this one, iv only used ichat once in my life (a freind wanted to test that 'replacing the background' stuff) but i seem to think that i did use my gmail account to log into ichat... but it was a while ago and im not sure, but if it was then we did do the video thing quite successfully ! Number 4... their is a piece of software called macam, which is a generic driver for pretty much most USB webcams to use with OSX, alas its a paid for piece of software, but their is a trial, so u can see if it actually works for your webcam... Alas it never did for mine, but good luck ! [/QUOTE]
