Beats By Dre iBeats

Hi,

I bought this Beats by Dre iBeats
and the they have 3 buttons (previous/play-call/nect)
and when i plug it on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2)
it works but the previous and next button change the sound
but play and call work i don't mind that. But when i plug it
in my Macbook late 2008 with Mountain Lion installed it doesn't
detect the previous button and next button functions as play button
but play button works. I tried it on iTunes, Spotify, QuikTime and VLC
and still no succes and I don't get it Beats by Dre are specialy made for
Apple products why doesn't it work on my macbook.

Here are some picture of my Beats by Dre:

In 2008, the Apple headphones only shipped with the pause/play functionality. I believe this was built into their MacBooks around this time. It was in later generations that the previous/next functionality was added.

It's not the fault of the Beats, but the hardware of your MacBook. I believe the Aluminum MacBooks and later could use the pause/previous/next functions on headphones.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Throw out those crappy Beats and buy a pair of Etymotic HF5s.

I think you're right - my late 2009 MBP allows you to skip songs using headphone buttons. Not much point though, b/c you can just using the previous/next buttons on the keyboard.
