Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

Is there any way to increase the volume beyond maximum volume?

Is there any way I can increase the volume on the internal speaker on my MAC Pro Tower beyond what it is at maximum volume?
Thank you.

Depending on what you're trying to do, there are a few solutions.
If you're just using the machine normally & playing games, etc, then get some amplified speakers, or if you have a stereo system available at your work/home you can get an adapter cable that will let you run from the line out of the Mac Pro to the input jack on your stereo.
If you're looking to so more serious audio production, then look for an audio interface. Companies like M-Audio, MotU (Mark Of The Unicorn), Akai Pro, and Apogee (among others) make some great devices that connect via USB or Firewire, and will offer better sound out, which you can then connect either to an amplifier, studio monitors, or even PA gear.

I have a ringtone that works great on my computer but the volume is very soft on the phone. I have adjusted the volume on the phone but the ringtone volume is still too low. Is there any way to adjust the volume of a ringtone?

I have managed to sync a ringtone to my ne i phone 5C but the volume is way too soft.
The sound is great on my computer but hard to hear at all on the phone. I have tried turning up the volume button on the phone but it doesn' do anything for the ringtone. Any ideas on how to solve this problem. The ringtone is "calypso blackberry" and I am not able to locate it in the Apple store ringtones. This should be so simple and it is making me nuts.
Help anyone please.

So you use an RCA cable going into what before it hits the MBP?
EDIT: Also in System Preferences > Sound > Input > you can select the input & adjust the volume accordingly as long as it's plugged in.

Is there any way to lock the volume on my imac?

My Daughter has autism and has found much joy in her i mac. She likes to play music from i tunes at full blast, even at 4 am. I don't want to take it away from her because it calms her but she is waking up her siblings. I already took the icon off the top and altered the keyboard but she found the control under preferences

Some bad news here. I just checked and there is no lock for the sound preference pane. You might want to file a request for this feature to Apple. Explain your situation to them and suggest they add a lock for the volume. I am assuming that you have created a separate account for her that does not have administrator access.
You might try plugging in a set of external speakers, preferrably something so small that the volume doesn't get very high, and/or with the volume button removed/disabled. As long as she doesn't figure out how to unplug them, it would solve your problem.

Stolen iPod - Is there any way to flag the serial number with Apple Service

My iPod Product (red) that I received for Christmas was recently stolen out of my car. I've done the police report and all that, but was wondering if there was any way to flag my serial number so that if someone were to try & register it or get service that it would be blocked? Yes, I'll replace it ASAP, but my kids bought it for me with their own money and it just really makes me sick that it was stolen and I'll probably never see it again.

Apple have no procedure to track, trace or block your iPod from use. You've done as much as you can by informing your local police.

Is there any way to control the zoom factor so that when my SSIS Package is opened, it is entirely visible within Visual Studio?

I have formatted my SSIS Package beautifully, if I do say so myself, so that all my tasks are visible at 50% zoom. However, when I close my project and then re-open it in Visual Studio, it defaults back to 100%...YUK!
I did find this post which didn't seem to work...even to the point that no where within my xml could I even find the "PersistedZoom" Parameter. I even tried manually adding it, I couldn't find the exact syntax on it, and that didn't even work.
1. In BIDS (Visual Studio) first close all open SSIS packages / xml files to avoid confusion ...
2. Right click on the SSIS package and select the "View Code" menu item. (to open the actual xml)
3. Search for all instances of "PersistedZoom" and change the value directly to the right of it to 100 (mine
was 80 or 90 ...)
4. Now save and close the XML file.
5. Now open the SSIS package in the designer, you will notice that it is still scrolled to the bottom right!
6. Now make any small change (I scrolled to the top-left and just slightly moved a task)
7. Now save and close the designer
8. Re-open the SSIS package in the designer! and what do you know it does not start scrolled down to the bottom right anymore!
Let me know if you still have issues - but as I said I followed this same process on all my problem packages and they ALL now open correctly.
I noticed that after doing all this the PersistedZoom property disappeared from the xml, which leads me to believe that if I zoom in and out of my packages again it will probably get stuck by opening to the bottom right again ...
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

I have two questions. How do I burn a DVD from a slideshow created in IPhoto without using IDVD which is no longer available?!! And is there any way to control the automatic zooming in my slideshow?

I know IMac messed up by no longer offering IDVD OR ILIFE on their new computers. Yes I too am mad I spent the money. But does anyone have a solution on how to work with the limited programs I did get? Or what programs do you suggest I purchase to be able to do something as simple as burn a slidewshow on a DVD!!!! I already purchases Xilisoft DVD which does not allow for photos only videos. I want to use both! I have had my new mac less than a year. Can I still return it?

If you contact Apple at
U.S. iPod, Mac and iPad technical support:
(800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
You should be able to get a copy of the original DVDs for a nominal charge.

Is there any way to control or change the email notification format deliver

Hi,
Is there any way to control or change the email notification format delivered by iBots? I have created an iBot to deliver the scorecard report to the team with type chosen as 'Attachment (HTML)' option. With this definition of iBot - notification being sent in MIME HTML (.mht) format. Due to some security settings at my email client - the attachement gets quratined because of .mht format. So, I am looking for an option to send the notification only in HTML (.htm) format with which I don't have any issues with my email client?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vency

Hi,
You try this
change format of to whichever you required in this file.. I havn't tested it yet..
I hope it will help you..

Is there an app to control the volume of an iPhone 3GS?

I have an iPhone 3GS and the volume keeps going all the way down once I plug the headphones in. Before this started happening the volume would go all the way up. Before that even started happening the phone would repeatedly try to shut itself off and I had to keep pressing Cancel.
I did buy the phone off of eBay used, to try and go on a prepaid contract once my current contract ends. On the case itself, there are some minor scuffs and such, it does look like it was opened at a time. It still works perfectly, except for the volume glitch right now. Is there an app that controls the volume to keep it from going all the way down?. People say in forums and such to tighten the screws on the bottom (which I tried), and to also open the phone and see if there is anything blocking the volume control thing (like dust or anything) but I'm afraid to try that with the risk of causing further damage. What should I try?.

to at least try and fix it if none of that works then replace it through apple

Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections on Database Mail?

Las week Rackspace started controlling the number of concurrent SMTP connections and we are now getting the following message when we send as little as 15 messages at a time using Database Mail:
Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.7.0 smtp13.relay.dfw1a.emailsrvr.com Error: too many connections from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
We are using SQL Server 2005 and Windows 2003 and we have been doing this since 2006 with no problems
Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections used by Database Mail or the Database Mail external executable DatabaseMail90.exe?

Hi rkohler,
Usually, we can use the Database Mail Configuration Wizard or the Database Mail stored procedures to determine the server name and port number for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server . In the SMTP server points, we can set or increase the number
of concurrent connections.
There is similar issue about database email on SQL Server 2005, you can refer to the following post.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Is there any way to control automator through voice commands?

is there any way to control automator through voice commands?
Im simply trying to program my macbook pro early 2011 8gigs ram to resound to voice commands using automator but I haven't found any discuss on the subject.

I have some AppleScript that expects a Pages (v5.2.2) document opened. It will then then speak the document name, and the count of words in the document. Or, I can trigger Speakable items and tell it to, "Switch to Pages" which it does immediately, because this is part of its repertoire of built-in commands. Then speak Word Count?
In Automator, I created an Application, in which I dragged/dropped the Library > Utilities > Run AppleScript action into the workflow window. I replaced the AppleScript boilerplate with my existing AppleScript code that speaks the word count, and saved the Application into <login dir>/Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder as Word Count? (without the .app extension). It can also be saved in the Application Speakable Items > Pages sub-folder under the general Speakable Items folder.
Next, I turned on Speakable Items in System Preferences > Accessibility > Speakable Items.
It took several tries to get a spoken result from the Automator application, but it did work. Even with a calibrated microphone, and speaking about 18 inches from it. About 2 successes for ten tries. If I just put the AppleScript (without extension) in the same folder, my success rate would improve to 5/10. You may grow very weary of the repetition necessary to get Speakable Items to work. A small pink text banner also appears with the spoken content in it — below the Speakable Items monitor on the screen.
Automator is scriptable. This means that in AppleScript, you can dynamically build an Automator workflow, and then execute it.

PLW-07203, any way to control the PLSQL_WARNINGS values specified by Raptor

While debugging some packaged code and compiling the specification through Raptor, I got the PLW_07203 warning, which was deemed to be an error and therefore prevented me from compiling the code successfully in Raptor.
First, is it correct for Raptor to consider these types of compilation warnings to be errors?
Second, since Raptor sets the PLSQL_WARNINGS parameter for the session, is there any way to control that parameter setting? For now, it seems to always specify it by executing ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_WARNINGS = 'ENABLE:ALL'.
Third, is it possible for Raptor to tell that I've loaded the source for a package specification or body from the data dictionary and have made no changes to it before I ask it to be compiled? Now, it seems that Raptor always is recompiling the package code by using the CREATE OR REPLACE construct, so it will overwrite any existing PLSQL object settings that may have been defined for the code previously. If you could detect that I'm simply asking you to recompile the source (primarily to simply get it compiled with debug information), then you could use the ALTER PACKAGE syntax for the recompilation. That with the ability to specify whether or not the REUSE SETTINGS clause would allow people to compile packages without getting into problems from Raptor changing the PLSQL_WARNINGS session parameter.

1) It's already bugged.
2) This is planned for production
3) There's a right click compile from dictionary which just does an alter ... compile. The new drop coming this week will change how browsing code works so that there's a read-only copy with an edit button to launch the editor.

Is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera?

I'm sure someone else has probably already asked this, but is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera? The resolution is horrible.

Welcome to  Discussions, Prissymissysays
The last Apple-published resolution data I saw said that iSight's resolution is 640x480 VGA. I do not know of any way to change iSight's resolution, but that level is plenty of quality for my webcam needs.
The software you use to operate your iSight controls it, so specific answers will depend on what software you are using when you need more resolution. Check Help in that application to see if it can change iSight's resolution.
Some software, such as Apple's QuickTime 7 Pro allow you to change iSight's video quality and compression level with its QuickTime Player > Preferences > Recording > Quality: setting. You can add iGlasses software to manually override some iSight settings that are otherwise controlled automatically by the software using iSight. However, I do not think either of these options really changes iSight's resolution.
Check whether your iSight's lens cover has fingerprints or smudges on it. Then check iSight's image quality of your face in full sunlight about two feet from the lens. Best image quality requires more light than what most people would consider normal room lighting.
If you are still having problems, consider the applicable suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
If you need better resolution than iSight can deliver for some special imaging requirement such as close-up or high-accuracy images, you may need to consider using a different camera that better meets your special needs.

Is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?

Hi,
with reference to the below link i have some queries
Re: is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?
i din understand the below point mentioned in the thread
You see this option is changes sales order(VA02), item pricing, update tab at the bottom.
can u pls explain ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First of all it is not at all possible that you have added something to user exit for sales order and that is affecting billing.
While billing try
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP
instead of USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK.
Also, you need to sit with the SD functional person to check and decide upon what config is to be adopted in copy controls for pricing type. In case you wish to do everything through the user exit then std controls need to be set in a way that whatever is in sales order should come up in billing, inclusive of manual conditions unchanged.
In case of short dump issues, the code is not written at the right place. Before your code write
break-point
which will give you an idea of what is happening at runtime while creating billing document in debugging mode.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Amit
