AirPlay Connection To ATV - Can't Figure Out Whats Not Working :(

2012 Macbook Pro 13 || Yosemite 10.10.2 || Apple TV 3rd Gen. || Airport Time Capsule WiFi. || 75GB DL internet speed.
When using iTunes with the ATV thru Airplay to play music and/or video music, all of a sudden it seems to drop the connection as the music (audio) stops and TV screen goes black, and/or back to the ATV home screen. Sometimes the ATV power light goes off, but not every time.
The Macbook appears to be connected as the "blue" airplay icon and the "pause" button is still present...and the WiFi connection is still strong. If i disconnect then reconnect, it will play again... sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a lot longer.
I REFORMATTED and updated the ATV, disconnected and rebooted both the modem and time capsule, and its still doing it. Bluetooth is off.
I think it may have started with Yosemite upgrade, but since we only use it occasionally, we're not sure.
Does this sound like the OS? The ATV3???? ANY IDEA'S????
Thanks...and this is very annoying!

Hi,
Have had similar problems to you guys.
I've found that the connection between the Mac running iTunes and the Apple TV seems to need to be re-established AGAIN, for it to function properly.
Signing out of your Apple ID on Apple TV and signing in again whilst everything is on the same WiFi network and running seems to help. (a little time consuming I know)
I believe OS X Yosemite is the cause. It's not as stable as previous versions.
So after reconnecting everything I would first try using the ATV remote to access the iTunes library for Movies Tv shows etc. Generally once this direction is properly established the other way goes fine.
Please try to persevere as it does work and it's good.

When I put my iphone 4s into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone beeps/makes a tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise.

I have a strange problem. When I put my iphone 4S into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone makes a beep noise/tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. It doesn't sound like any of my regular applications. Maybe it is the lock noise but I can't tell for sure. More movement makes more beeps. Even walking with my phone in my pocket creates beeps. The IOS is 7.0.4 (11B554a). Anyone else have this crazy problem?

I am getting message from MacPro that my start up disc is full - but I can't find this "start up disc" and can't figure out what to do to help situation. I've been making a number of imovies, which generates junk files and material that I should toss in the trash, but it is not clear to me what items I can toss and which items I can't toss. Can you help? Using the imovie "help" support the system showed me under the menu item "go" where the "start up disc" should be - but that wasn't actually available on my menu! Thanks for your help!

Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

I'm using Studio 8 in Mac OS X (10.4.6). I've got some pdfs
uploaded to my site that are accessible through links one one of
the pages. I had to make changes to the pdfs and resave them. I
thought I uploaded them, but when I test the links it downloads the
old version and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's
what I did.
This may be a dumb way to do things, but I saved the new
version and then dragged into the server file in
user-->Library-->Application
Support-->Macromedia-->Dreamweaver
8-->Configuration-->ServerConnections-->unnamed
server-->public_html (this is where all the other files are).
When I go back into Dreamweaver and open the pdf listed in the
Files window on the right (by control-clicking and selecting Open
with-->Acrobat) the correct version appears. I thought maybe
there was a delay or something, but I've waited and still the old
version is what you get from the site.
Is there an easier way to do this, or is something wrong
maybe? Many thanks in advance.

Put the files in this Site's Local Site Folder.
If unsure of where you've specified this to be, look in this

(dw menu-->Sites-->Manage or Edit Sites)
If that path you've given above above is correct, it's
wrong....

Background program running and can't figure out what it is...

I have an IMAC desktop, I just purchased the Photoshop Elements 10 software for MAC, installed it, running fine. But now I have program that is contanstly running in the background that is slowing up all of my other applications I run while I'm working. I've checked the Activity Monitor but I can't see anything out of the norm...Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm very frustrated....

I presume you mean that the hard drive is working on something. Again, any such process would show in the Activity Monitor. Check that again, confirming that you have "all processes" set so you can see everthing that's going on. It will be easiest to spot anything unusual if you click on the "% CPU" column header to sort by the amount of CPU time each process is using. Click twice so that the arrow is pointing downwards; then the top users of CPU time will be listed at the top. Post the name of any process that's consistently or unexpectedly using a significant amount of CPU time and we can probably figure out what's happening and offer suggestions.
Regards.

Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!

How can i figure out what device downloaded apps

how can i figure out what device downloaded certain apps?

One way is to remove all apps and then reinstall a few at a time while watching the "Other" memory indicator, but this will cause a loss of any data the apps are storing, like files, high scores, settings, etc.
I don't know of an 'electronic' way of find this out.

Can't figure out what is the code

Hi
I got following macro that will help me to run certain transaction.
I just can't figure out where comments ends and where code starts so I was unable to run it for like 3 hours now.
In other words
I am trying to use Excel Macro that will get to active transaction in SAP and do waht I have recorded.
'SAPGUI Macro for updating SAP from Excel data 'Prerequisites: '1. Script Recording and Playback from the SAPGui must be enabled by admin '2. The Excel list must be set up from top left corner of a worksheet '3. The worksheet with data must be the active sheet '4. There is no error handling. Build it yourself! '5.

Ok macro works and triggers actions from recorder. I was doing it with hope I will select data in SAP and paste in Excel AND/OR export file from SAP with data.
If I record select column and then copy it. Script is recorded until selection . It ignores copy (i tried use mouse right click and copy AND manual alt+F12 and then copy from context menu)
When I export recorder does open export window but does not writes the line relevant to clicking save.
I found such bits
'Choose the export format
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUBSCREEN_STEPLOOP:SAPLSPO5:0150/sub:SAPLSPO5:0150/radSPOPLI-SELFLAG[1,0]").select
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
'Choose the export filename
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_FILENAME").text = "test.txt"
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_PATH").text = "C:\Temp\"
'Export the file
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
But they dont seem to be relevant to my previous macro.
Any quick fix to get data out of Excel

An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My OS is Windows 7.

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Metacity/compiz, can't figure out what to do.

Sooo, I just installed arch linux again to play around, starting at a fresh install I installed an xserver and got it running right, then I started installing some WMs and installed lightdm and lightdm-gtk3-greeter.
So far so good, when I do try to login all WMs show up except metacity/compiz, that's not really a problem so I decide to add the entries manually
both are in /usr/share/xsessions
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=metacity
Name[en_US]=metacity
Terminal=false
Exec=metacity
TryExec=metacity
Name[en_US.UTF-8]=metacity
Type=Application
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=true
and
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Compiz
Name[en_US]=Compiz
Terminal=false
Exec=compiz ccp
TryExec=compiz ccp
Name[en_US.UTF-8]=compiz
Type=Application
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=true
From what I can tell the entries are right, they don't throw any errors and I get to a desktop and I have a cursor (no menus of any type though)
The issue is that I have no clue how to proceed, I configured compiz with ccsm but can't figure out how to add menus, my goal is to make it look like GNOME2 without all the bloat (all I should need is metacity and compiz, true?), another thing I want is a fancy floaty dock and conky, conky is installed and I'll configure it once my desktop looks decent, the dock I chose is cairo-dock because it looks nice (does it auto-hide? Auto hiding is absolutely critical.)
Anyway, I did my research, I read the compiz-article on the wiki (I installed 0.9.x if it matters) but I do not know how to get the config running, the syntax for .xinitrc is rather different from a .desktop file, Google didn't help nor did the forums search function.
Did I mention what I want it to look like? I don't think so... anyway, I want it to look like gnome2 with the applications menu and places menu (have a look at debian 6.x if you don't know what it looks like) but I am rather lost ^^;
Sorry for being so uneducated, I hope I don't cause someone too much pain with my silly questions.

Chazza wrote:The .xinitrc file is only useful if you are using startx. It is not going to make any difference to how you start sessions from lightdm. Quite frankly though, why not use .xinitrc and startx? It's by far the easiest way to autostart programs with a session. Compiz was not designed to be used as a standalone window manager and, as such, does not have an autostart utility of its own. Like I said earlier, you can put all the startup commands for the programs you want to autostart in your .xinitrc file and start the session with startx. No xsession files are required for that, of course. If you must use a Display Manager you may be able to parse startup commands through it using an xprofile file. There is a little information on that here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xprofile. As for your Metacity xsession file, I have no idea why you wrote that. There is no need for it. As has been pointed out earlier, Metacity is a window manager completely seperate from Compiz which is also a window manager. Metacity cannot be used alongside Compiz and is not required by Compiz itself in any way.
Obviously, I thought you'd realize I knew that .xinitrc wasn't relevant since I added the "I thought it was only used when startx is called or am I mistaken?" but I digress; I'm not sure why you keep questioning my motives though, if I want to use lightdm then I don't want to use startx, whatever my reasons may be are rather irrelevant.
Anyway, thanks for the link, at least it gives me something to work with (I'm sure I can figure out the syntax based on the xfce4 file)
Oh and I know compiz wasn't designed to be used standalone but I am not going to be stopped by that, for the metacity xsession file I wrote that as a test. If I recall GNOME2 uses metacity as the window manager and compiz as the compositor (which I know is a working setup, however it was merely a test), so yes. They can be used alongside each other since compiz has a quite capable compositor.
Chazza wrote:Ok. Fine. But you said you were after the educational experience so I was trying to suggest WM's that would be more suitable for a standalone session.
Well yes, they may be a tad more user friendly but I have a similar philosophy with system building as playing games; Always play on the hardest difficulty.
Chazza wrote:Why are you talking about gtk themes? They are not relevant. They are for desktop applications, they are not for window managers. When you are talking about a window manager theme you are talking about what the window border looks like and nothing else besides. What you need to understand about Compiz is that it is a window manager that does not come with its own decorator (the decorator being the progam that provides windows with borders.) As such, there are three decorators that can be used with Compiz: compiz-decorator-gtk, kde-window-decorator and emerald. The first is dependent on Metacity and uses Metacity themes. It is what is installed with the compiz-dev and compiz-bzr packages (I assume you installed Compiz with one of these packages as you said you were using the 0.9 version.) The second is dependent on Kwin and uses Kwin themes. The third is not dependent on any window manager and has its own themes. Why is there a setup like this? Because it was expected that you would use Compiz with either GNOME or KDE so it made sense to have decorators that could use the themes already available for the desktop environment's native window manager.
Ah, a keen observation there! But if you would've paid attention I was also talking about compiz themes, you see the compiz theme I use also comes with a matching GTK theme, the GTK theme looks silly without the compiz theme and the compiz theme looks silly with other gtk themes. (that I have tried).
Further I am aware that compiz uses three different decorators (based on choice), my theme has an emerald theme and a metacity theme included, I can pick either (isn't it nice?) and indeed I am using the compiz-dev package.
Chazza wrote:Compiz is not a window decorator, it is a window manager, just like Metacity or Kwin or Xfwm or Mutter or Openbox etc etc. As I said above, the difference is that Metacity, Xfwm, Kwin etc all come with their own native window decorators. Compiz does not. Compiz has some decorators that can utilise the themes of aformentioned window managers.
ah yes, I started rambling towards the end it seems, I didn't mean window decorator I meant compositor, sorry about that.
