Accessing external speakers while using airplay

While using airplay I am unable to use my external speakers through the audio system that I use. When I go to preferences and sound I do not see external speakers listed.
I have used this same system for over a year now, but now external speakers are not listed, only the internal speakers are listed.
When using my iPad I have no problem using the external speakers. The problem is only when using my MacBook Pro.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ron

Thank you for the response. I was afraid that might be the case. I've been trying to think through a way to connect the ipad so that I can use the connected speakers inside while using airplay to connect to the ihome speaker outside. It looks like it is one or the other. I didn't think about that when purchasing the speaker for outside.

While using airplay iPhone won't ring

While using airplay my iPhone will not ring. The music cuts out and the phone will vibrate for a short time but won't ring through the speakers like it did before this last update.
This behavior happens with both iPhone 5c and 4s.

Cant stream movies while using airplay

CAnt stream movies while using airplay. says error occured

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

HT204291 Is there any way to use computer speakers when using airplay and apple tv?

I'm a teacher using an epson hdmi capable projector in my class. I'd like to play a video (youtube, TED, etc) to a large class, but as soon as I use airplay, the apple tv mirrors my iPad to the projector, and while the video is fine, the audio is horrible, as it is also mirrored to the epson projector, which has tiny, horrible speakers. Is there any way to run the audio through the iPad, where I can connect my computer speakers through the headphone jack? Alternatively, is there an adapter that can connect to the back of the epson projector (see following) that would convert audio in the projector to computer speakers? http://epson.ca/cgi-bin/ceStore/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=V11H428120 -F#2

I believe if you go to settings> sounds... you can select where you want the sound to come from. So there you can set it to the "internal speakers" and then plug in your computer speakers.

Audio Output while using Airplay

I have a rather unique requirement that has me stumped. We have an Apple TV driving a projector that does not have audio output so when we mirror the display from the iMac using airplay we want the audio output device to be "Internal Speakers" but that can not be selected in System preferences. Does anyone know a work around for this configuration or will I have to get seperate amplifier and attach it to the optic audio output from the Apple TV?
Thanks
Brian

Well, since I can't imagine this being a feature of Airplay I assume we're either hitting the limitations of the technology, or it's a bug. Knowing Apple I suspect it's a limitation of Airplay, perhaps because audio and video are sent out as an integrated stream?
I agree, this does suck, since all I have to use as audio is the tiny 1 watt speaker on my Epson projector! I can't even use audio out from the Apple TV, since all it has is that useless optical port. Very frustrating indeed.

Accessing External List that uses BCS with CAML Query

Hi,
I have an external list that uses BCS to sql server. I can view the list with Lists.asmx web service GetLlistItems. However, I get an parameter error when trying to add to the list with UpdateListItems. I will be changing over sharepoint lists to sql
tables using BCS to connect to them and I need it to be seamless to clients that do CRUD operations using CAML. Are there any instructions on creating such an external list that maintains compatibility with ordinary sharepoint lists?

CRUD options are fine.
Here's what I've done.
Created ECT.
Created Read list & read item options.
Set a limit for 200 items (for testing purposes only)
Created external list based upon ECT created above.
Opened external list in web browser and I'm able to open, edit & add items without issue.
What I'd like is to have a simple HTML type form above the list (like in a Content Editor web part with a few text boxes and a 'search' button. I've tried the link below but it either crashes Sharepoint Designer when I'm defining the parameters or
if it works there the button doesn't work.

Can you block the onscreen keyboard of iphone while using airplay mirroring with apple tv?

i would like to use airplay mirroring for presentations but when logining into say youtube or email i do not want my keyboard being replicated on the big screen. Is there an option just to mirror everything except the keyboard?

mirroring size if perfect, i want to block out the on screen keyboard when loggin into something or any typing what so ever. This would be more for privacy when doing extended presentations where i would not like to go in, shut the mirroring off type my password into xxxx and then reapply mirroring to continue on with my display.

The videos I watch on my Apple TV from my iMac while using AirPlay are VERY slow and delayed

Hi, I just bought an Apple TV and I'm just trying to watch some movies and videos wirelessly using AirPlay from my iMac so I don't have to conect it directly to my TV. The videos I intend to watch are already in mp4, there's nothing wrong if I watch them on iMac though. My Internet conexion is not that bad I watch Netflix and browse the Web and stuff from my TV Software and it never stops or gets delayed, it only happens with the Apple TV. Speaking of which, I already linked my Netflix account with the Apple TV and it works PERFECTLY fine, no delays or frozen pictures, it's just this problem with airplay. I have a Belkin Router for my home network. I already updated the Apple TV software and there's no improvement.
Hope someone could help me out here, thanks!

I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing. Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing. If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
Not the exact same issue, but very similar. Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too!

How to access external drives while in Windows

Using VMWare Fusion as the system hosting Windows XP. Have specific programs in Windows only but of course they work much better on the IMac. I edit a ton of video and have the vids all stored on eternal drives. These drives are read by the Mac and all show up on the desktop and are accessible for all Mac programs.
Here's the issue. I need to access those external drives from a Windows video editing program being run thru Fusion. The Windows program is accessing a folder via "Shared folder on host" but the only folders showing up there are the ones listed under "Home" om "My Places". I'm sure this is nothing more than a setting but I am in need of help! All my editing is held up at the moment so any assistance is greatly appreciated for this Apple rookie. Thanks.

I don't have my laptop with fusion loaded, so I can't think of the exact terms. However, you should be able to set the shared folders in the settings for the virtual machine. The ones you see are the default setup, but you can define more paths to view while in Fusion.

Music cutting out while using airplay

I just configured my Airport Express as a client to an existing wireless network. I don't know for sure but the existing network is probably not being provided by an Airport router.
I was successful but when I try to play songs via iTunes to my stereo, the songs are constantly interrupted. It will play fine for a few seconds or ten seconds or sometimes 30 seconds, but then it will stop for a while and then start up again.
I've tried reconfiguring the Airport Express, enabling Interference Robustness and restarting the Airport Express using the admin software and by unplugging. Nothing is working yet.
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!

i am reaching a breaking point. Things are going from bad to worse . . .
I moved my new AE into the same room where my other (main base) AE was, thinking that the issue may have been that the two were having a hard time "seeing" each other and thus were dropping connections. At first, this seemed to be an improvement; when playing songs through my remote (second) AE, the music was cutting out much less frequently. Instead of dropping the music every few seconds, it would only cut out about once a song. And it improved over time; by about the fifth song, it wasn't cutting out at all.
However, I then tried to play music through the stereo I have connected to my original (main base) AE, the problems started all over again. iTunes was totaly unable to establish a connection to the stereo on the main base AE. It would say "connecting to remote speakers", and when it was "done" connecting, nothing would happen. No music would play, and the status bar on the iTunes song would stay frozen and not move.
I'll note that at no time have I ever had significant problems playing music through my main base. We've had that main base for 6 months and been very happy with it's performance, except for not being able to get to cover the whole apartment with a reliable wireless signal (which is what I was hoping to remedy by buying a second one).
This also started affecting my internet connection! After having the two AEs in the same room for about a half hour, I suddenly could no longer get any web pages to load, and network speed in the OS X Activity Monitor dropped to below 10 KB/sec, even though I was trying to load several webpages at a time.
Thankfully, when I unplugged the second (non-main) AE, performance on my main base station returned to normal. I will continue to try and troubleshoot this, but the conclusion I am drawing at this point is that although the AEs work great individually, they don't work very well together. This is very disappointing, considering Apple touts how "easy" it is supposed to be to link these together.
I did read on another thread that sometimes the AE will just crap out and die over time. Perhaps my used ebay purchased AE is just shot.

Error 5: Access is Denied While using OSCDIMG to create Winpe x86 ISO with Deployment Tools Command Prompt

Technician computer is Windows 7 HP x64.
Running latest version of WAIK.
Goal: To make a Winpe disc for each processor architecture (AMD64, x86, IA64) with an included Gimage.exe using this code for the default startnet.cmd file found in system32 directory of winpe boot.wim
wpeinit
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==amd64 (
cd x64
start gimagex.exe
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==ia64 (
cd x64
start gimagex.exe
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 (
cd x86
start gimagex.exe
These are the commands I have processed for the x86 variant:
copype x86 c:\pe\x86\
Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\pe\x86\winpe.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount
**It is at this point I copy over my x86 folder, x64 folder, and overwrite the startnet.cmd file.
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\mount /commit
oscdimg -n bc:\pe\x86\etfsboot.com c:\pe\x86\iso c:\pe\x86.iso
^^It is at this command I receive this error:
ERROR: Could not delete existing file "c:\pe\x86\iso"
Error 5: Access is denied.
Please note that all commands before were hand-typed, no copy or pasting from any directory or .chm
One thread referred to some Application Management service, but I can report that there is no such service installed in my machine.
Thank You!
UPDATE:
I copied the winpe.wim file from the x86 root directory into the iso directory and renamed it to boot.wim Now, if I copy the contents to a flash drive and put it into a client
computer, it boots to the PE perfectly, script and all.
However, when trying to use the oscdimg command, I do get an .iso successfully, but when I burn it, I don't know what to do in the way of boot options, and if I keep defaults (imgburn)
it results in an un-bootable dvd.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Don't copy and paste instead type manually it will work.
[email protected]
OMG! Yes, you are correct ... but I have no idea why! I retyped the command line:
oscdimg -n -be:\winpe_amd64\etfsboot.com e:\winpe_amd64\ISO e:\winpe_amd64\winpe_amd64.iso
into Notepad, and then pasted it into the Command Prompt, and it worked!
Perhaps there must be some hidden characters included when pasting directly, even though I first pasted the command line into Notepad, and then into Command Prompt
(C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>).
I had to retype the command line in Notepad before copying and pasting, before it would work.
Wow, thanks!
Cheers, Navy Flyer

How do I keep my iPhone or ipad from going to sleep while using airplay to my Apple TV ?, How do I keep my iPhone or ipad from going to sleep while using airplay to my Apple TV ?

With airplay on, how to keep ipad from going to sleep? Same with my iPhone, with airplay steaming to my Apple TV, the phone or ipad will go to sleep. Settings?
Advice welcome.
Thank you for your time, Eric

Yes, that is happening because of the app. Not all apps behave this way. For example, if you use the youTube app with AirPlay the screen will turn off but AirPlay continues. If you use the Netflix app the screen will not turn off and, of course, AirPlay continues.
The best course with the NCAA app would appear to be to supply power to the iPad and set Autolock to never. Turn the iPad screen intensity down.

Access Denied Error while using Cancel Command for an Administrator.

Hi All,
We have created a new capability called Task Administrator which has only one permission <Permission type='TaskInstance' rights='View'/>.
Now when a user who is assigned ONLY this capability clicks a cancel button in the end user interface (<Property name='command' value='Cancel' />), an error is thrown (Error: List access denied to Subject on type WorkItem. com.waveset.ui.util.html.Container: method setSubTitle(LJava/lang.Object;)V not found.
We understand that the system is trying to delete the workitem created (I can see the workitem from the debug menu) which he/she does not have access. Interestingly, a normal end user without any capabilities is able to cancel this request.
Could someone please tell me what the default access is for an end user which is taken away when a new capability is added to that user?
We are using V5 Sp4.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Based on the current information, I suggest that you try the following steps:
1. Run REGEDIT command to open the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{09beb4fe-6125-4757-af0f-7f487d1aa125}.
2. Expand this node to see if there is a folder named “InprocServer32”, if there is, move to step 3.
3. Click the “InprocServer32” folder, and double-click the “(Default)” key to check its value. It should be the path of a DLL file.
4. Grant “Full control” to the users on this DLL file or its parent folder.
If it doesn’t work, I suggest that you configure the Advanced Security Settings of the SQL Server installation folder, and check the “Replace child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object” option.

I have already mentioned in my question that the registry location was not there in that PC.
So the result from process monitor does not help me to solve the problem

Why do I get "can't access device" message while using Safari?

I am traveling in Mexico with my friend who has a Sony Vaio running Vista. I have a white MacBook (early 2008) running OS X 10.5.6. We choose hotels offering wireless internet, and my friend has no trouble anywhere, where I have trouble everywhere. BIG disappointment, since I'm always bragging on Apple. I have the feeling I my have done something dumb with the internet connection utility in "System Preferences"- could that be it?
Some questions about what has been happening:
A) why does "internet" (the utility in sys pref) sometimes tell me that I am connected when Safari says I am not?
B) Other times it tells me I'm not connected when Safari is the process of connecting successfully.
C) Why does it say I need a password when I don't? THIS IS THE MOST CONSISTENT MISTAKE IT MAKES
D)When I do need a password it often says "password invalid" when I type correct one.
E) I get "could not open communication device" WHILE Apple.com is actually loading! and even after I have been using it for 5 or so minutes.
Finally, if I have to re-install Safari, can I do it on line? (provided I can get on line).

Try resetting the App Store.
