Airplay working on 1 PC but not another

I am running the same version of iTunes on both computers and both are PCs. Recently, AirPlay won't work on only 1 of the computers. I can play my videos just fine, but my husband's videos time out and won't play.
He is getting so mad he wants to throw it all out the window. :/
Any ideas?

What is described above is a networking issue or possibly security software on the computer interferring.
Try temporarily disabling any security software on the computer first.
If the ATV or any of the computers are connected via Wi-Fi, then other electrical devices could be causing interferance. Try changing the Wi-Fi channel in the router settings or moving the devices and the router closer to one another. A better solution is to connect them via Ethernet.

Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

I have the problem where airplay works for one user but not for another and both users are on the same machine. For the user where it does not work, everything appears normal, it's just that there is no sound being transmitted. I have tried restarting the Airport express, restarting iTunes, repairing disk permissions. Any ideas about what can be done to resolve this?

Implicit read with assembly module instance working on one computer, but not another

Hi,
I'm trying to set up an on-site computer to run a VI which uses assembly instances for data communication, but for some reason I'm unable to establish a connection to the PLC.
I'm running the example vi "CreateAssemblyInstance.vi" to try and get the communication set up before I start using my actual program.
When I run this code on my development machine, I'm able to establish a connection to the PLC and read data. I then go into RSLogix 5000 and change the IP address to the on-site machine and try to run the test VI there, but I'm unable to make a connection. LabVIEW-side, the program thinks that it's established a connection and is reading/writing data, but PLC-side I'm getting a "Connection Failed" message in RSLogix.
I find it weird that LabVIEW thinks the connection was established just fine, which the RSLogix says it can't connect to the VI.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. We aren't sure why the same VI runs on one machine but not another. We used RSLogix to change the IP address of the target machine, so we don't think that's the issue. And both computers are on the same network, so we don't think it's a firewall issue either.
LabVIEW-side, things should be identical. I'm running the same example VI that came with the Ethernet/IP module. PLC-side, we're changing the target IP of the module within RSLogix 5000 (and we're sending the updated information to the PLC) to match the machine we're trying to make a connection with. Are we missing any steps? This is the first time we've tried using an assembly module, so we're having a hard time troubleshooting.
Any ideas on why this is happening?

I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.
We started having another problem just recently too. The Tag Read and Write commands are almost always timing out. I keep getting the error message -251723752:
Detailed error info: Error -251723752 occurred at EthernetIP Tag Read REAL.vi;Details: The request response was not received in the requested timeout period Possible reason(s): Ethernet/IP Industrial Protocol: (Hex 0xF0FF0018) The request response was not received in the requested timeout period
I can't figure out what's causing this all of a sudden, could these issues be related?

WDTHEMEROOT works in one client but not another

I'm looking at using the WDTHEMEROOT application parameter to set a theme. I've set it to 'sap-chrome' in our development client and that works fine when I test the application. When I log into another client on the same system, however, the WDTHEMEROOT parameter has no effect. I'm guessing there is a setting in the first client but not in the second but I don't know what that might be. Any ideas ?
thanks,
Malcolm.

Well,
I guess my excitement was shortlived. I changed the theme and did whatever the note suggested. It worked!
But then I changed it back to 'sap_chrome' and did all that the note suggested - it did not work. I am now stuck with the new incomplete theme and am not able to change it back to what it was earlier.
Any Help?
Thanks,
Sanjiv

Airplay works fine in iTunes but not from the menu why?

Hi Guys,
I have read so many answers to the question about Airplay not working both here and the internet.
Can someone give me the definative answer why I can Airplay from iTunes but not from the Macbook Pro itself i.e. no menu icon or setting to mirror.
Everyone seems to say its the age of the computer or its the firewall or the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
Why if I can do it oneway (iTunes), I can not do it directly?
I am using a 2011 macbook pro 10.9.3 and a apple tv 3.
Is there a hack or work around with out purchasing more software.
Thanks

Hey Beauvoir17,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, I can conclude that your MacBook is indeed compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, as outlined in the following resource:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
- iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
- Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
If you are experiencing issues with AirPlay mirroring, I would recommend the troubleshooting steps outlines at the bottom of the article.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Identical actionscript works in one frame but not another...?

Hi all,
I'm working on this electronic sheep creator for my Masters
degree (don't ask haha..) which is online at
[url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/[/url] . The problem I'm having
is that a piece of actionscript I'm using for saving the sheep as a
jpg using BitmapData works in one frame with one movie clip but not
in another frame..
In frame 1 I create two movie clips - mc_modifysheep and
mc_dna:
[CODE]on(release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_modifysheep", 1)
mc_modifysheep._x = 150;
mc_modifysheep._y = 70;
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_body", "body", 1, {_x:42,
_y:65});
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_head", "head", 2, {_x:0,
_y:0});
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_legs", "legs", 3, {_x:77,
_y:215});
_global.bodycolour = "default";
_global.headcolour = "default";
_global.legscolour = "default";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_dna", 2)
mc_dna._x = 0;
mc_dna._y = 0;
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_DNA_empty", "DNA empty", 1, {_x:8,
_y:360});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_top", "top", 2,
{_x:45, _y:374});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_right", "right",
3, {_x:65, _y:400});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_left", "left", 4,
{_x:32, _y:401});
gotoandstop(2);
}[/CODE]
the sheep in 'mc_modifysheep' and the dna in 'mc_dna' are
built up over frames 2 and 3 and then in frame 4 the user decides
whether the sheep is given freedom or captivity. If freedom is
chosen then the user is prompted to name their sheep and the movie
clip mc_modifysheep is saved as a jpg on the server using
BitmapData and PHP. If captivity is chosen then the user is
prompted to name the dna and the movie clip mc_dna is meant to be
saved as a jpg on the server but only a white blank jpg is
produced, not what is contained in mc_dna.. I've tried all sorts
but I can't figure out why it's doing this..
Here's the code I'm using, that works, to save the
mc_modifysheep:
[CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
btn_freedom.onPress = function() {
freedom();
function freedom() {
snap_sheep = new BitmapData(305, 290);
snap_sheep.draw(mc_modifysheep);
var pixels:Array = new Array();
var w:Number = snap_sheep.width;
var h:Number = snap_sheep.height;
var a:Number = 0;
var sn:String = txt_Freedom.text;
high = 99999;
low = 00000;
ran =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
var rn:Number = ran
var filename:String = dn+sn;
for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
var tmp = snap_sheep.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
pixels.push(tmp);
var freedomoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
freedomoutput.img = pixels.toString();
freedomoutput.height = h;
freedomoutput.width = w;
freedomoutput.filename_sheep = filename;
freedomoutput.send("save_sheep.php", "_self", "POST");
stop();[/CODE]
and here's the near identical code apart from different
variable/movieclip names I'm using to try and save (but failing)
mc_dna:
[CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
btn_capt.onPress = function() {
capt();
function capt() {
snap_dna = new BitmapData(305, 290);
snap_dna.draw(mc_dna);
var pixels:Array = new Array();
var w:Number = snap_dna.width;
var h:Number = snap_dna.height;
var a:Number = 0;
var dn:String = txt_Capt.text;
high = 99999;
low = 00000;
ran =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
var rn:Number = ran
var filename:String = dn+rn;
for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
var tmp = snap_dna.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
pixels.push(tmp);
var captoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
captoutput.img = pixels.toString();
captoutput.height = h;
captoutput.width = w;
captoutput.filename_dna = filename;
captoutput.send("save_dna.php", "_self", "POST");
stop();[/CODE]
I know it's a problem with the flash and not the PHP as I've
tested for that, definately in the flash. I just don't understand
how the same code can capture mc_modifysheep, but not mc_dna.
argh!!!
If you need to take a look at the FLA file it's up at
[url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/dohumansdream.fla[/url]
Thanks everyone!!

If you dont find anything specific, a lot of the problems i
encounter like this are because one little thing is spelled wrong.
like it doesnt match whats in your php file, ect. my suggestion,
though a long one, if you know its supposed to work, and theres no
syntax error, re type it, not copy and paste, and just be careful.
keep tripple checking. you might not even find what was spelled
wrong, but it might fix the situation,

Apps work in one location but not another

Some apps (iheartradio and tvguide) work fine from my home wifi, but not in another wifi area (at work, which has better wifi). Other apps such as pandora work fine at both locations. What is the difference and how can I get all apps to work everywhere?

It's entirely possible that your employer has blocked certain ports on the corporate firewall, which will prevent some apps from working.

Flash not working for one user, but not another on this CPU

Hi,
For user A on my computer most video will play in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. But video at nfl.com will not play. The ads will play but not the actual feature.
I just found out that the videos on nfl.com will work for user B. I have rerun the Adobe Flash 10.1 installer in user A's account several times with no luck.
Are there permissions or libraries I should trash to try to restore this capability?
thanks,
Steve

HI,
For user A on my computer
Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
You may also need to delete the Flash cache. Instructions here.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709
If that doesn't help, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.4.

Home sharing works with one account but not another?

My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

Script works for one frame but not another

I set up 2 keyframes, each one loads a different text file
into a dynamic text box. The text box for the first keyframe is
named "session" and the text box for the second keyframe is named
"oneptq". The text file for the first text box is named Titles.txt
and the text file for the second keyframe is 100Q.txt. The code I'm
using is identical (except for the respective names of the text
boxes and text files) but for some reason the text will load in the
first text box but not the second.
Here's my AS for the first keyframe:
lvLoader = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
if(success)
session.text = lvLoader.textbody;
lvLoader.load("Titles.txt");
And my AS for the second keyframe:
lvLoader = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
if(success)
oneptq.text = lvLoader.textbody;
lvLoader.load("100Q.txt");
I can't figure this thing out. Please help. Thanks.

Have you double checked that it's a DYNAMIC text box? Maybe
it was accidentally swapped by to static at some point...

Synaptics touchpad on 4540s works for one person but not another

The Synaptics touchpad on my ProBook 4540s (Win 7) works normally when I use it but when my wife tries to use it, the touchpad is unresponsive after a very slight initial cursor movement.  (Anticipating replies - Yes, she casts a shadow, pictures of her come out normally, and she has a visible reflection in a mirror.)     The touchpad sensitivity setting is maxed on light touch and cursor speed is maxed.
She has relatively small hands, and long nails, but she had no difficulty using the touchpad on our old HP dv9910us and has no problem with an iPad touchscreen.  This week she tried the touchpad on a Sony VAIO that was so worn most of the original surface coating is gone, and had no problem moving the cursor on that machine either.   She even tried the awkward solution of using her knuckle instead of her fingertip on the HP in case her nails were getting in the way, but that didn't work either.
Not having used a 4540s before, and not having access to another one to compare, I have no way to tell whether this is a bad individual touchpad unit or a design issue.   If a design issue, what's the workaround?     For instance, is there a skin I can put on the touchpad to increase its conductivity?

A friend of mine bought a ProBook 4540s yesterday. At Microcenter we noticed that the touch pad often would stop working for her, and sometimes for me, but it usually worked for me. She bought the laptop, and we she got it home we noticed the same problem. I played with the touchpad a little and noticed this pad has a very narrow window of operation. With the 14.1" HP's like the nc6220 or nc6400, you can use one finger, two fingers, even three fingers, and the mouse responds nicely. However if too much surface area is in contact with the touchpad of the 4540s it doesn't work. Too much surface area is the pad of your finger. Because my friend has long nails, she was laying her finger pretty flat on the touch pad, and it wouldn't work. When I used the pad like this it wouldn't work for me either. Because I have short finger nails I have always used the lower end of my tip. This works pretty well with the 4540s. Pressure seems to have little affect. It is a matter of surface area, and the acceptable area has a small range!

Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

HI Bob,
You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

Downloading a file via a procedure works in one app but not another

Obviously I've overlooked something. I have this procedure (following). It works in one application that has been running for a couple years. It is called from Column Link with this value #OWNER#.DOWNLOAD_ATTACHED_FILES?p_file=#DOWNLOAD_LINK#

Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

BusObj XI R2 Deski login error for user - works on one PC but not another

Hi,
I have a user logging into Deski on her PC but getting:
[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Enteprise authentication could not log you on. Please make sure your logon information is correct.(hr=#0x80042902)
If she logs in on my PC her ID/password works just fine.
We reinstalled Deski and cleared any server information but with no difference.
And here's the odd thing.... I can login OK on her PC... so the client looks installed OK.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dean

HI Dean,
The issue could be that the user account might have got corrupted.We can delete the user preferences from the registry.
When the user logins to dektopintelligence, it recreates the user information in registry.
Note:Take a backup of the registry of client's PC,before making any changes.
Click on File->Export
Save the registry information.
->Click on Start->Run->regedit
->Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Business Objects->Suite 11.5->default->Application Preferences
->Delete Business Objects Reporter.
->Also delete the User Pref (the account with which you have logged into the system).
Now try to test the issue by logging to deski.
Hope the information helps!!
Regards,
Shubha.
