Air Foil Update - Music Streaming (Hesitation) Problem
For about four months, I was able to stream Pandora, Slacker and the like to my two stereos using Airfoil, AirPort Extreme Base, and two AirPort Express units relatively smoothly. (Maybe 1 hiccup, stutter, or hesitation per 30 minutes.) However, about two weeks ago, I noticed a significant increase in the number and length of these hesitations. It was about the same time Rogue Amoeba issued a couple of Air Foil software updates, although the description of these wouldn't seem to suggest they are the problem. Nothing has changed with my hardware or the physical layout. My Comcast connection is fine, and I have no problems when listening to Pandora and Slacker at my iMac, which is connected by Ethernet to the AirPort Extreme. Also, curiously, I have seen no hesitation during the streaming my iTunes library using AirTunes to the AirPort Express/stereo. Thoughts?
Hi again,
here just some more information about this feature.
as described here it shoudl just be possible to select another device which is not working fo rme.

Controlling AIR runtime updates
Hi,
I'm writing an AIR app for a client who is concerned about the AIR runtime updates. He foresees problems with his users being taken aback by the sudden appearance of multiple dialogs related to software that they (the users) have never heard of.
I've thought of several options, given that his regard for his users is not going to change any time soon. I have no idea which of these is feasible and I hope to get some pointers here.
1. Silent updates
2. Providing a custom UI for AIR runtime updates
3. Distributing AIR with the app so that it is version-locked and never attempts to update itself
4. Install AIR normally, but provide some flag with the app that tells AIR not to update itself
5. A clever, elegant solution
This aspect may make or break the project, so my full (!) gratitude is guaranteed to whoever helps out.Hi,
To disable check and updates of the AIR runtime, you just have to put a empty file named "updateDisabled" into your "C:\Documents and Settings\*YOUR_WINDOWS_ID*\Application Data\Adobe\AIR" directory for windows and I think /Users/*YOUR_USER_ID*/Application Support/Adobe/AIR for MacOSx. -
My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

Thanksc) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Good evening all,
When i am trying to connent my MBP to an Arcam R-blink (a rather expensive music streaming receiver) i am getting a 'Bluetooth audio failed'.
The device is turned on and they are paired. I just appears they don't like talking to each other.
Eventually after several fustrating attempts they will finally connect - mainly after i have unpaired then repaired.
Anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed?
Thanks,Here are a couple of User Tip Articles that may help you:

On a personal note, I would seriously consider reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6. It still is the most stable and efficient Mac OS.

Stream 8 update frozen (and other problems)
Hello All,
I got a Stream 8 for my wife for Christmas, set it up for her and updated with windows update on Dec 15th 2014. After Christmas, the tablet seemed to be working for her, but then became really laggy...
Problem #1
Windows Update screen will not open, and when I try to access it from the control panel the window becomes frozen. I have left it on this screen plugged in over night, twice, hoping that it was simply a large update that would rectify itself if given enough time.
I was hoping to turn off automatic windows update to stall any automatic update while I attempted HP software updates
That Failed.
Problem #2
I attempted to Download the HP Stream 8 BIOS update after I went onto the HP site and downlaoded the HP install program. That also got stuck at 0% overnight.
Failed to downlaod anything, so I closed the program and restarted
Problem #3
Windows Store Fails to load - just keeps spinning
Problem #4
Sound is terrible - tinny and digitized on 50% volume. Speakers sound broken.
Any recomendations for attempting to fix the windows update issue?
I bought this Stream 8 tablet from the Windows Store , and it seemed to work for ~3 days... I want my wife to be able to use this as a home tablet and travel computer that has much greater functionality for work than my Nexus 7.
Thanks for any guidance!Hey @HawaiianHP ,

i currently have an iphone that i connect to my mac air to download music, i have now bought a nano for my wife can we use both devices on the same air without any problems???
My wife and I both have the iPhone 4 and it's actually pretty simple. Add another user on your MBA (her) and she can use the other iTunes when she is logged in. The iTunes is empty and will erase her iPhone, so be sure that she syncs her iPhone, then back up her library onto a portable media device like I did (SD Card) and reload it onto her empty iTunes on your MBA before she attempts to sync with it.
Works well...

Problem in Update using STREAMS in Ora 10g EE
Hi
I am using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition for replicating datas after failover occurs in DB
I had followed the steps in below URL..
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/oracle/guide/archives/oracle-streams-configuration-change-data-capture-13501
The replication is achived using streams.
INSERT,DELETE operations working fine without any issue. But UPDATE operation is not replicated immediately.
I did UPDATE and gave COMMIT, no replication. Again I did UPDATE and gave COMMIT, now only it updates the Streams table.
For every UPDATES it needs two times? Why? How to solve this?
Or Any other URL which gives working examples of Streams in 10g..
Any help regard this highly appreciated..Thanks for ur reply..
There is no specific reason to use STREAMS..
I have to replicate the data during my properity database stated up.
We already discuss with this topic
Data Replication in after downtime
Instead of using Triggers or procedure, i have to use anyone of the technologies in Oracle 10g for DataReplication..
Can you give me more info like advantages of using DataGuard or other techologies in Oracle 10g EE . -

So I have a wireless music streaming set-up in my dorm room. However, I get a delay in terms of when I start playing a song to when its playing. Its not a major delay but enough to be a noticable difference.
Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
Airplay music streaming and internal DAC bypass
Hello everyone, I'm an "audiophile" who loves high quality liquid music, and I need help about Airplay hi-fi music streaming.
I own an Apple TV 3gen linked with optical cable to my stereo amplifier internal hi-end DAC for optimal sound quality. Everything is fine when I play my iTunes network shared music using the Apple TV iTunes app or computer shared libraries, because the digital file is directly sent without manipulation to the hi-end amplifier's DAC.
When I stream music with my macbook pro to the Apple TV with Airplay, I notice that the macbook pro internal DAC isn't bypassed causing bad sound output. I also notice that because every audio control in the macbook is still active, so you can set the voume output and use the equalizer. This means that there is a Digital to Analog conversion (for sound control) and then an Analog to Digital conversion (for the Airplay streaming) made by macbook pro internal DAC.
As I said before, this workflow causes bad sound output, so is there a way to configure Airplay to stream untouched music files bypassing the internal device DAC (the DACs of iphones, ipads and macs)?Max_Ram wrote:
Are there any hi-end devices out there able to manage a shared iTunes library (like the ATV 3 does) with bit perfect output?
And has the Airplay feature in some "audiophile grade" devices like NAD, Marantz, etc. the same behaviour?
I suspect you'll find many of the high-end audio devices use custom library software - they may not run with iTunes directly, but I suspect some will be able to access files stored in iTunes. The problem really is the AppleTV is not configurable to simply output what it is sent - I don't honestly know if for example iTunes downsamples hi def files before sending to AppleTV or if AppleTV does it internally.
In many ways it may not matter if AppleTV is not outputting as you want.
I think the problem with Airplay is that the technology is licensed from Apple for inclusion in those devices - from memory things like the first Zeppelin Air used to boast high-quality DACs but actually the Airplay stream that went to those devices was lower quality. I've not really tested any of these things for a while to be honest and am rather out of touch with current AV gear. Thinking about it I can use my Pioneer as an Airplay destination, but as you have noticed volume control/equaliser etc are active so the stream is not the original - must check on sample rate/bit depth though.
Airplay may or may not be capable of what you want now, but even if it isn't it may evolve to do so in the future. I suspect your best option will be to connect your Mac directly to the DAC if streaming won't work.
This is old and mentions some variably priced playback apps aimed at audiophiles:
http://www.headfonia.com/os-x-audio-players-amarra-audirvana-pure-music-fidelia- decibel-and-bitperfect/
BitPerfect is available in the AppStore - OS X removed some APIs for low level access to audio output some times ago - not sure if they are available again now.
Fidelia also in AppStore but has some in-app purchases.
Audirvana looked promising.
Not used any of these recently.
Amarra used to be very expensive.
In the past there have been several lively discussions here where people have moaned that AppleTV does not have a volume control - I have always argued that it is a 'source' device and volume etc should be controlled on the amp or TV as with conventional audio sources but many devices do have volume controls these days so consumers who like those features want them. They did actually add volume control to AppleTV 1 for stereo audio but you could disable it in Settings. -
IP5 music stream to soundbar is choppy
Music streamed from iP5 to LG NB3730A soundbar is choppy, cuts in and out very frequently. At first, the bluetooth connection is solid, but eventually BT disconnects. Distance between phone and soundbar is irrelevant; placing the phone directly in front of the soundbar it still cuts out. I updated soundbar firmware and updated iP5 ios from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, to no avail. My wife's iP4, ios 5.x, also does this but much less frequently. My phone streams music flawlessly to BT head phones and car's bluetooth. LG tech says my wifi extender in the same room is interfering, but disconnecting that didn't help. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any insight into possible solutions? Sounds like a defective soundbar to me. Thanks.
Do you mean the problem persists whichever computer is streaming or do you have two tv's.
Have you tried restarting the tv or indeed the router. Have you considered you may be suffering from interference, have you tried a different wifi channel. -
My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
