Airplay on ATV and AX from Lion and ML: ML does not work...
Hi all,
I am having a problem with Airplay under Mountain Lion...but not under Lion.
On a MBP 13 (Summer 2009), I can use iTunes Airplay under Lion to stream music to both an Apple TV and to a Airport Express. In fact, I can play iTunes music on the MBP, the Apple TV, and the Airport Express simultaneously (all 3 or any 2 or any 1, individually). [Of course, Airplay display mirroring does not work under Lion, but iTunes Airplay does.]
On a MBP 15 (Early 2011), I can use Airplay under Mountain Lion to mirror the MBP's display on the Apple TV and thus through mirroring I can stream the music from iTunes to the Apple TV. I cannot stream from iTunes to the Airport Express, whether or not I an mirroring to the Apple TV. In other words, even when the mirroring to the Apple TV mirroring is Off and the Apple TV is off, I still cannot use iTunes to stream music to the Airport Express. Now the Airport Express speakers shows up as an option in the iTunes Airplay menu, but when I select it in the menu it does not do anything.
In summary, using Lion I can stream iTunes music to both an Apple TV and to an Airport Express speakers, individually or simulaneously. Using Mountain Lion, I can stream iTunes music to the Apple TV, but only through the use of Airplay display mirroring. I cannot stream music to the Airport Express speakers even though the AX shows up as an item in the iTunes Airplay menu.
Any ideas how to fix this for ML so that it works as in Lion? I checked and have the same Preferences set for both the Lion iTunes and ML iTunes.
Thanks,
Switon
...a little more experimentation...
I booted the MBP 15 (Spring 2011) from an external backup of Lion (made immediately prior to switching to ML). When I turn off the Server Firewall then I can iTunes Airplay to both the Apple TV as well as to the Airport Express. But when I turn on the Server Firewall, even after allowing ports 3689, 42000-42999 both TCP and UDP, the Airplay does not work. I could not determine which ports were needed for iTunes Airplay, all I could figure out is that when the Server Firewall is off then iTunes Airplay works but when the Server Firewall is on then iTunes Airplay does not work. I tried logging all denied packets, but to no avail, I still could not determine which ones were being denied.
Interestingly, when I turn off the Server Firewall and switch on the System Preference Security pane Firewall, I can still iTunes Airplay to both the ATV and AX. It makes me wonder if when I switched to ML from Lion that some ipfw rules were not left over from the Lion Server Firewall that then keeps ML from allowing iTunes Airplay to work. (I wonder if I restore my Lion Server, then switch off the Lion Server Firewall, then download and install ML once again, then download and install OS X Server once again, whether the iTunes Airplay would then work? Maybe when I have some more time I'll try this, in the meantime I'm going to try a little harder to figure out why the Lion Server Firewall stops iTunes Airplay from working. Dang nabbit, even "ipfw show" does not tell me which packets are being denied when the Server Firewall is ON and iTunes Airplay does not work...does anyone have any suggestions on how to figure out why the Server Firewall is stopping iTunes Airplay from working?)
Thanks,
Switon

Drag and Drop from Photos app to Safari does not work (Regression to iPhoto)
Drag And Drop from the new Photos app to Safari does not work. This worked perfectly with iPhoto before.
I use this a lot to upload photos to a Wordpress blog. Is there a way to make this work again? Its a major regression to the old iPhoto behaviour -- at least for my workflow.
RegardsUse the Media Browser. This was written for iPhoto but it still works for 95% of Photos. It's the first option you want:

HELP!
Itunes is not working on my mac. I'm trying to redeem a gift card and everytime I enter my password it does not work. Also, when I try and browse songs, everything is blankIt's been a while but it should work on a Mac because Macs can read Windows formatted devices. Otherwise, you can perform a restore operation to return it to the Mac format. If you go to support.apple.com/manuals/ you can find a copy of the user manual for the model you have in which this is all explained.

what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
-When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"you are tring to use is a network resource that is unavailable. find folder itunes.msi" i dont have a folder like that and anything i use that is related does not work. ive tryed to uninstall but still does the same thing when.
Should the advice above not fix things for you...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I am using iPad1. Running v4.3 and when connecting to wifi iPad keyboard does not work. Keyboard works for everything else including typing this question out. Why would it not work when typingin password for wifi connection?

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using. -
Even after installing new batteries and switching it on my magic mouse does not work. Sometimes it works but switches off (indicator light goes off) on its own after a few minutes.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. Try making the device a favorite .

I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
so i'm using the usb mouseI want to clarify the issue.
The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
Post here with your results!! -

I just bought an Iphone 4 from straight talk. My camera does not work. The shutter does not open and when it does open there is a black screen. I am very upset. I have wanted this phone for awhile. I want the issue fixed.
ThanksTake the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace. Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone?

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC. When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print. The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.
Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account. The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.
