Mac extended desktop mirroring needing to 'split' the sound

The setup is that I am using my iMac in one room (the study), and I am using airplay to extend the desktop so that my apple TV in the living room is used to play a movie for my parents to watch.
The sound and video transfers just fine to the apple TV on 'desktop 2', but I was wanting to be able to play a seperate video on my imac, in the study. I can't seperate the sound. Even though the video is on 'desktop 1' on my iMac any video's sound on either screen will be played through the TV speakers as my System preferences only allow me to select 'iMac' or 'apple TV'
Is there any way to 'split' the sound?

""Extended Desktop" and "Dual Display" mean the
same thing..."
Actually, they don't. "Dual Display" simply means
that the computer can support two displays. "Extended
Desktop" and "Desktop Mirroring" refer to the
different modes in which the two displays can be
used. "Extended Desktop" uses both screens as one
large continuous desktop while "Mirroring" displays
the same desktop image on both screens.
O.K. I'm confused.
Can the Macbook display extended desktop (one giant desktop with half on the laptop and half on an external monitor) or is it limited to just mirroring the same desktop on both displays?
Thanks,
  Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    There are a couple of things you can do:
    instead of posting the individual line itame detail, post summary items.
    Create a dummy offset account. Total the first 950 items and post the remainder to the offset. Then do the same for the remaining items. The total to the offset will be zero.
    If you search the forum, you will find more details on this.

  • What version of Mac OS do I need to run the latest version of InDesign 10.10 using Creative Cloud

    What version of Mac OS do I need to run the latest version of InDesign 10.10 using Creative Cloud

    No. You do not need to go to 10.10, but it’s probably best to so to avoid this again for some time.
    That said, any machine still running 10.6 has got to be pretty old and lacking power to run the new apps.

  • Need to split the output into files

    Hi,
    I have a query regarding splitting the output into different files. Please help to resolve that.
    I have have select query query...
    SELECT INDEX_NAME FROM DBA_INDEXES WHERE TABLE_NAME=<Table Name>;
    If it returns less than 4 indexes then we have create one table and have to move those into the files.
    For example...
    File_1.sql
    ====
    index1
    index2
    index3
    If select statement returns more than 4 indexes then we have create 4 files and have to splict those indexes and has to move to those 4 files.
    For example....
    If select statement returns 13 records then...
    File_1.sql File_2.sql File_3.sql File_4.sql
    ===== ====== ======= =======
    index1 index4 index7 index10
    index2 index5 index8 index11
    index3 index6 index9 index12
    index13
    Index no need to be in order in any file and any file can I extra index in it.
    Can be ok if we have any procedure or shell script. Please help me on this?
    We are using 10.2.0.1 oracle db. Please let me know if you need any thing else?
    Thanks

    Are you trying to put the output from SQL reports in different files?
    Some reporting tools can do this.
    You have a couple of options to do this.
    Some reporting tools support the functinality to write to different files.
    Another way is to write a PL/SQL procedure using UTL_FILE, which can open multiple files based on your conditions and to write to them as you need to.
    An older, less elegant solution is to write nested SQL*PLUS scripts spooling to different files with the queries you need. A top level script would invoke the others, something like (untested)
    --in first script
    @subscript1
    @subscript2
    --in subscript1.sql
    spool whatever.lst
    select *
       from dual;
    ...

  • Dead LCD, Any file I can modify to force Extend Desktop/Mirror?

    The LCD has died on my G5 iMac so I have no way to enable Extend Desktop to allow me to continue using the iMac with an external monitor. I still can access the hard drive via the network.
    Does anyone know a specific file I could modify to enable Extend Desktop by modifying the file from a computer connected over the network?
    Thanks,

    Hope the information did the job. However, be aware that you might also tick off some users that do not like default settings others like. I would suggest you consider your reason to override the user setting is good before you do it. If you really want a full screen view, maybe a landscape mode might be preferred. In that case, I suspect users would not mind the forcing of a full page.
    You can also force full screen viewing, but such is confusing to some folks that don't think of hitting the ESC key to get out.

  • I need help on the Sound Blaster Audig

    I just got the sound Blaster Audigy 4 and installed it on a Dell computer. The receiver that comes with the card worked fine with the media center the first time it is installed but after that the red LED light comes on instead of blinking when the remote control is used. I tried to re-intalled the driver of the card which took a lot of time but did not fix the problem. Would somebody please tell me what the problem is with the receiver and what should I do the address the problem?

    I would suggest uninstalling the SB drivers in Add/Remove program then run the SB installation again.

  • I need to stop the sound in an .flv file I'm streaming

    Is there any param value... or anything else I can use to stop the sound in an .flv file I'm streaming from the server?
    I do not have the original video that the flv was created with... otherwise this would be a no brainer.
    I want to keep the video up but take away the sound.  Thanks much!

    AFAIK there's nothing in the server side API that would support that. You can, on the client side use NetStream.receiveAudio(false), but that won't prevent the server from serving audio... it just stops a particular client from subscribing to the audio
    Alternately, you can use FFMPEG to strip the audio channels out of the FLV.

  • Need help get the sound timed to the picture

    Photoshop elements 12. On a PC. How do you get the sound  to time with the picture when you are trying to edit it?

    That makes more sense.    I wish could help specifically, but I use another NLE video application.
    Was the audio recorded separately or at the same time as the video? If the latter, I'm pretty sure Premiere should lock the audio event with the video as you move it. (At least most NLEs do.)

  • New mac pro upgrade advice needed or keep the old clunker

    I have a 2008 mac pro with only 8gb ram
    I am use the  computer for FCP and Logic as well
    as photo editing.  It is not my livelihood I am just a serious hobbiest.
    My option is to go with a new Mac Pro probably 8 core with 1 TB
    I would have to get an enclosure for my 4  thunderbolt internal drives.
    I also have 2 firewire 800 2T external drives.
    My monitor is a 30 inch cinema display
    so an 8 core with 64gb plus 4k monitor and upped graphics card is $11,600 add my buisness discount i am probably
    looking at around $11,000
    My other option is to keep the clunker add a 1TB SSD PCIe card form owc and add 8gb ram this will
    cost me $1,400. I am really only throwing away the $200 for increasing the ram as
    the PCIe ssd drive can be salveged and used in the new mac pro if I bought an pcie/ thunderbolt  enclosure.
    Tha advantage of going this route is I could use the clunker for another year allowing time
    for the kinks in the new mac pro to be ironed out as well as the advantage of faster chips in next years model.
    The other issue I have is a use a Universal Audio PCI card with 4 sharc processors to run specific plugins that need that
    card in logic.  That card will no be compatible with the new Mac pro and the replacement cards are over $1000 that are compatibe
    Just looking for some advice do you think the SSD PCI card and ram will keep me happy with the performance to hold off upgrading for
    a year or shoul I just put the clumker out of its misery?

    On this page Apple compares the 2012 Mac Pro (12-core) to a 2013 Mac Pro (12-core). The new Mac Pro performs about 3x faster at rendering. You didn't say how many cores your Mac Pro has but you could expect about a 4-5x faster performance increase.
    I would have some questions for you:
    How much time do you spend waiting on your current Mac Pro?
    How much money are you willing to spend for a 4-5x increase?
    I have a 2010 Mac Pro with a 960 GB OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCIe SSD, program launches and computer restarts are much faster. Compressing video takes the same amount of time as it did when I booted from a hard drive. I can't read or type email any faster, iTunes plays music just as fast as it always has with a hard drive.
    I would use Activity Monitor to monitor your computer's memory use while you work with FCP and Logic to see if you are maxing out your memory then adding more may be the way to go.
    I use my Mac Pro for recording over-the-air TV and compressing that video into an Apple TV usable format. I've found that having a dedicated drive for capture works well. Also, when I compress the video my capture drive becomes a dedicated source drive for Compressor and I write the output file to a separate dedicated drive. This ensures I maximize data flow and keep all my cores nearly fully utilized. I tend to do the processor intensive tasks (compressing video which can take hours) at the end of the day when I know I won't be using the computer (or only doing light work on it such as email or web surfing).
