[10.7.5] Since update, I can only use 1 mirrored display for audio output at a time.

Before the most recent update (to 10.7.5) my 2010 Mac Pro (2x2.4GHz Intel Xeon w/ dual DisplayPort video card) had no problem sending both audio & video to my 2 mirrored HDMI displays, but now it will only send audio to one at a time, depending on which one is selected in the Sound System Preferences window.
This is kind of a big deal for me because the two displays are located in different rooms and viewed simulataneously by different people.
I know other people have been having audio problems since this update too.
Anybody know of a workaround or a way to contact someone at Apple who could see this get fixed soon?

I have no idea how to do what you're doing using those GUI tools (nor, likely, will anyone else here). When I used to need this I just loaded module-combine and set it as the default sink (did it in /etc/pulse/default.pa though you should be able to do it for only your user in ~/.pulse or something).

  • I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

    Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

    By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
    Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
    Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • Can i use this just for audio

    I want to know if i can use this just for audio ..not the picture part

    I don't see a way of using FT just for audio.  There is no way of turning the video streaming feature to off.  If you disable the camera, facetime won't work at all.

  • HT5035 When I try to purchase something on iTunes using store credit, it says that the store credit is temporarily unavailable and iTunes can't use store credit for my purchase at this time. What do I do?

    I'm trying to make a purchase using the $10 store credit that I have, but a notification box comes up saying, "Store credit temporarily unavailable. We cannot use store credit for this purchase at this time. Do you want to pay for this item with your other pay method on file?" Why is it saying this? How can I purchase this item with my store credit?

    I was finally able to download itunes on my laptop, this is really a pain in the butt, not I want to purchase a song and it's asking for a credit card and I have $18.71 credit on my account.  Why can't I just purchase a song using the credit that has already been put on my account.???????

    You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
    Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
    Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
    Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

  • Since installing an icon-editing add-on, I can't open tabs any more / I can only use one tab at a time.

    Ever since I installed the add-on Favicon Picker 2 that lets you change the bookmark icons, I can't open tabs any more. The second tab will open, but if you try to go to a site, the FIRST tab redirects to that site. Basically, I can only use one tab at a time. Is there any way I can keep this add-on and use tabs?

    Oh, wow - look at that, you're right :) I didn't want to uninstall the add-on as I like the feature, but simply by disabling it you can keep the new icons AND use tabs. Thanks dude!
    (The add-on is Favicon Picker 2 0.6.2.15 by the way - some of the user reviews report the same problem.)

  • In the latest two updates you can only go back one page at a time, previous versions allowed you to jump back several pages by choosing from the twistie - any suggestions?

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

  • I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

  • I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

    I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it.  Really need some help.  Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store?  Even her apps wont appear

    If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
    All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.
