Auto switching audio when multitasking with firefo...

Hi,
When my girlfriend calls me on skype and is using firefox at the same time, the audio randomly switches to empty noise. The fix is to select another device, and then switch back to the correct microphone. When not multitasking we can speak for a few hours with no problems.
Does anyone have a similar problem or solution?
Many thanks,
Scott.

OK, I have my iMac, XBOX, and Blu-Ray DVD wired into my AirPort Extreme. And then I have my Apple TV HDMI'd into my TV. My theatre home system I have an audio optical cable going from the TV to the BDVD. As I stated earlier on my iMac I went into the preferences-sounds and I click the output tab where it shows what is selected and I see that my Headphones is highlighted, when I attempt to select Apple TV it goes back to headphones. I unplugged the headphone jack connected in the back of my iMac but nothing.

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

No Audio when iChating With PC User

I've looked on the forum, but can't seem to find this particular issue. I'm using ichat 3 with OS 10.4.2 and the person I'm trying to video conference with has a PC with Windows XP and a logictech camera. We both have the latest versions of the AIM software for our respective operating systems. Also, I'm using DSL while he's on a cable connection.
We can successfully open and sustain a video chat, but I can't hear him and only for about the first minute of the connection can he hear me before the audio cuts out. Neither one of us can figure what the problem is. I've contacted another Mac user I know with the same camera and software as myself to test my own camera and both the audio and video work fine when conferencing with him.
My only conclusion is that it's an issue from the PC side that he has to configure although I'm not sure what to tell him to adjust, or it's an issue with the AIM client that were using and for some reason the audio support just isn't there for the software. Anybody have anything that will make this work, or can at least explain what's going on??
Thanks in advance!

Ralph,
That could be adding to the problem. According to the link you sent me my up and down streams are 300 and above. My friend however is usually much lower, below 100 during video conferences. I thought that might be an issue, but in the past we've been able to get picture pretty easily and so I overlooked it. However, we went ahead and downloaded the "here" link you suggested to his PC and now the audio is very stable, but we have absolutely no video.
Considering he has a cable connection I'm surprised his bit rate is so slow, but I'm also aware that it's a community connection and that you're only as fast as the amount of traffic you're sharing it with. Also, I've been able to carry steady vc's with other Mac users even when my bit rate is in the low 100s and thier's is mid 100200s, so I thought I was getting by okay.
In any case, outside of the bit rate issue, is there any other way to get this thing to work already?! I'm tired, hungry and my food is running out.

No audio when airplaying with iMac

I'm working with a 21.5" iMac (Mid-2011) and after installing Airport Extreme I am not getting any audio sound watching the Youtube video I am playing using appletv out of my TV. Note I am switching to AppleTV. Any suggestions? Please help.

LR 1.3.1 auto stacks photos when editing with Photoshop

Hi,
No matter what I do I can't stop Lightroom 1.3.1 from automatically importanting the TIFF I creat when I perform a "edit with Photoshp CS3" on any of my RAW files. This never used to be a problem the auto update updated my Lightroom to the latest release a couple months ago. This sounds like a regression bug to me. I searched the forum before I submitted this, but I don't see anybody else with this issue.
Mike

When I export to Photoshop, then save, I have a PSD file stacked with my raw file. But when I am in Library, filtering my collection by the Metadata Browser by Date (for one specific day), and then I select by star rating, I have these two separate images, that won't "stack" together. And all the stacking commands are greyed out. Only when I am viewing my thousands of images (un "filtered") do the stacking commands seem to work. I can't find anything about this in the help. I only want to see the #1 image from each stack!
Thanks.

No audio when recording with isight

When I try to record anything with imovie 08 and the built-in isight camera, there is no sound. The video works fine, but no sound. The microphone works, I've used it in other programs, but it just won't work in imovie. Any ideas?

Hello lgpuma13
If you have not quit and restarted iMovie, doing so may correct your problem. If not, restart your Mac and test again with no other AV apps running during the test. If neither restart helps, consider the following ideas.
I read your post to mean you have no sound when you playback your movie, not merely when you move the pointer back and forth (or “skim”) over the clips.
If the above is not your problem, check your Audio Adjustments for appropriate volume or other settings that might effect your level.

No audio when capturing with quicktime 10.2

Typically I use a Sony DSR-40 or my Canon XL2 as a source for miniDV tapes and Quicktime 10.4 to capture on my Mac Mini (late 2012) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Recently, the video is capturing fine but usually, not always, there's no audio on the captured file. While I'm importing, the QT audio meter is moving properly like it's monitoring the audio.
I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling QT but saw posts that say it's "a structure embedded in the in the platform's operating system. To remove/replace it, you would have to delete/reinstall the entire operating system."
I'm forced to use iMovie for capturing, not as good as QT used to be working for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks, you nailed it. For some inexplicable reason, the audio source changed. Didn't even know that option through the triangle was available.
And yes, know about screen capture, but I do that directly through my Mac with Ctl+Shift +3. When David mentioned it, I thought he was somehow referring to the New Movie Recording I was doing with QT.
Cmd-Shift-3 snaps a picture of the (whole) screen (and Cmd-Shift-4 lets you select part of the screen).
QT records what happens on the screen (or part of if) live as a movie - excellent for providing video instructions!

I am unable to get the windows TIP for Tablet PCs to auto pop up when clicking with a stylus or my finger. What add-on/setting will fix this?

I have a lenovo Thinkpad Convertible tablet. In the past I've been able to get it were the Windows TIP pops up when I click on a text input field. This function no longer works, I have a new computer, and whatever change I'd done to my old computer is not readily apparent. Any help in getting text input fields to pop up the TIP automatically would be great. Until then, in tablet mode, I have to use my computer with IE or keep the TIP at the taskbar to click on, but that's a lot of movement and rather annoying.

Actually the setting is called: '''intl.enable_tsf_support'''
Note the underscore instead of the dot.
I had to enable this settings for TIP to work on my HP EliteBook 2740p after installing the driver from Wacom's website.
When I was using the Wacom driver supplied from Windows Update however the TIP worked even fine without this setting.
I've documented the issue and solution here at my blog for other Tablet PC users who encounter this problem: [http://www.unlogic.se/blogs/myblog/post/firefox-tip Firefox and the Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP)]

What packet will switch send when config with keepalive ?

When I config keepalive on switch interface, what will happen ? Is it multicast packet or broadcast packet ?
There is syslog information on my switch which I make loop to test BPDUguard.
"%ETHCNTR-3-LOOP_BACK_DETECTED: Keepalive packet loop-back detected on FastEthernet0/7"
Where can I find detail document about it ?
thanks!

thanks for your reply.
I sniffe it and get following:
ETHER: ----- Ether Header -----
ETHER:
ETHER: Packet 106 arrived at 18:49:46.07
ETHER: Packet size = 60 bytes
ETHER: Destination = 0:3:e3:9b:ad:c0,
ETHER: Source = 0:3:e3:9b:ad:c0,
ETHER: Ethertype = 9000 (Loopback)
ETHER:
Source MAC and DEST mac is same and belong to switch static mac.
I can't understand why my test will result in "ETHCNTR-3-LOOP_BACK_DETECTED: Keepalive packet loop-back detected on FastEthernet XX".
My lab is like this:
switch-----hub(portA,portB),one cable is connected portA and portB of hub. So there is loop on hub.
If I disconnect cable between portA and portB, switch will not report ETHCNTR-3-LOOP_BACK_DETECTED.
It looks like that loop on hub result in the error. But I don't know why ?
Who can tell me detail information ?
thanks!

Turning off switch spaces when hovering with a window near screen corner

Hi,
I use Spaces very often, but I absolutely hate that when you move a window near the corners of the screen and hold it there for about 1 second, that you switch spaces. I once found a terminal command which lets you set the delay the OS waits before switching spaces to 1 minute (so it it basically turned off). Now I can't find this site again. Does anyone know what I mean?

This might still work:

Can you disable the "auto open" feature when printing with Adobe Reader x verxion 10.1.6?

Every time I print a file to PDF, it automatically opens. Can this be turned off? I was able to stop this in a previous version of Adobe, but it's been so long, I don't remember how I did it. I've looked at the settings on my PDF printer as well, but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

Hi Sherry,
You can check the printer preferences for Adobe PDF printer and deselect 'view Adobe PDF result'.
On windows machine, please go to control panel and then open printer and devices. right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select printer properties/Preferences.
You must be using Adobe Acrobat to print a document to PDF.
you cannot print a document to PDF using Adobe Reader.
Thanks

What usb auto switch is compatible with OSX and Windows for sharing the same printer

I just bought a new iMac for myself to replace my old Dell PC. My husband still has his PC with Windows Vista and our work stations are set up to share the same MFC with a Belkin auto switch. Unfortunately that software is not compatible with my OSX and I am having trouble searching for another auto switch that is compatible with both computer operating systems. Can anyone recommend one to me?

Hmmm, we bought a brand new V300 from Epson and hooked it up it didn't work. We went through all the steps, downloaded all the drivers, and after several days of frustration, it still did not work so we returned it.
Apple hasn't been able to give us technical advice, Epson couldn't help. The only scanners sold locally are the printer/scanner combos.
I was looking at the Fujitso ScanSnap 1500M earlier tonight... am wondering if I can get by with this scanner since most of my scanning nowadays has to do with business documents. It sure would be nice to organize clutter and the text said something about compatible with the "cloud" as well.
I use my iPad all the time to show galleries & collectors the quality of my paintings... type up proposals, etc. Thanks for letting me know about it's compatibility with my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Thank you for your input, AppleMan1958. you are wonderful.

No audio when online

For some reason, I have no audio when online with my Satellite P505D. It works fine in all of my video and music programs, but as soon as I go online, I cant hear anything. It doesn't matter what browser I use, explorer, chrome, or firefox. I cant hear anything in any of them. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated all of the audio drivers, but still nothing. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The Presenter files worked for me the last time I taught my class.
After following the advice in this thread (uninstalling and installing Flash Player, installing the Connet add-in) the Presenter file did play audio. . . . ONCE. I thought it was solved but now I'm getting the NO AUDIO display again.
My colleague in the same department has no problem with audio using OS 10.6.8 on Safari 5.1.2 (Same as my set-up). He is also successfully playing it on his MacBook Pro 10.7.3 on Firefox (10.0.2).
I'm mystified. Has anybody an idea of where the Connect add-in gets installed? Maybe the folder just needs a good cleaning.

Audio not auto switching when plugging headphones in

I just wanted to see if anyone has encountered this yet. Both my Macbook Pro (2011) and Mac Pro (2011), have recent installs of Yosemite, the MBP a fresh install, the Mac Pro and upgrade. Each have a cinema display (mini display port) plugged in. When I plug my headphones in to the headphone port, the audio does not auto switch to them and continues to play through my Cinema Display. On Mavericks this was not the case, now each time I want to use my headphones I have to manually switch the audio over to them.

I've been having the same issue, I would say it's Thunderbolt display related but I believe I had the issue with my home laptop (no display).
When I plug my headphones in, they're ignored and sound continues to play out of the system or display speakers. I have to go into the Sound preferences and select headphones as the output. Annoyingggg
