Can I control the sound on users computer

Hi
I have a high school lab with 25 new intel iMacs. Is it possible to control the sound on the user computer so they can not use it. I have Mac server 4.10.10 and Apple Remote 3.0, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming you can't reset this by removing or locking the particular Sound settings in System Preferences via Workgroup Manager (WGM), then take a look at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141459
It's not exactly the same, but it might well point you at a solution.
If you're just getting going with Macs in this particular environment, then you'll likely come to realize the Workgroup Manager and Server Admin tools are going to be your BFFs.

How can i adjust the sound on my computer

I always had sound, and i don't even have an icon for it. I need the sound back, because I don't hear well.

Hi,
What is your machine and its OS ? Click the small arrow at the right corner, click Customize
Turn on the Sound icon from there.
Good luck.
ps This is for Windows 7

Controlling the sound of the external loaded SWF

I have a Loader that loads external SWF. The external SWF has sound.
I'd like to stop, pause and play the sound.
How?
Please help me !
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("moora.swf"));
addChild(loader);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, on_loader_complete);
var mc:MovieClip;
var st1:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
var sn:Sound = new Sound();
var ch:SoundChannel;
var offset:Number = 0;
function on_loader_complete(e:Event):void
     mc = MovieClip(loader.content);
     play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_play_btn);
     pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_pause_btn);
     stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_stop_btn);
     trace(mc.totalFrames);
function on_play_btn(e:MouseEvent):void
     mc.play();
     st1.volume = 1;
     mc.soundTransform = st1;
function on_pause_btn(e:MouseEvent):void
     mc.stop();
     st1.volume = 0;
     mc.soundTransform = st1;
function on_stop_btn(e:MouseEvent):void
     mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
mc.soundTransform = st1;
This only mute the sound only and the sound is still runnung.

The loaded external SWFs are AS3. The sound is on the timeline. Some SWFs use loaded sound, Here is its code:
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moora.mp3");
snd.load(req);
So, how can I control the sound (Stop, Pause, resume).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
Repeat with this line:
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 4
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

My audio disappeard when Im working in a project but the sound in my computer works. How can that be?

My audio in Logic Pro disappeard when Im working in a project but the sound in my computer works. How can that be?

Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Coreaudio
That can be because Logic can have its' audio hardware configured, different from System Preferences>Sound, which is the config all other apps use. You've probably assigned Logic to some inactive audio port.

Can not control the color in JOGL

I am a beginner to use JOGL.
I find that I can not control the color, both background and foreground. The background is always Black, and foreground is always Red.
I use canvas.setBackground(Color),
gl.glColor3*(), trying to change the color. But it does not work.
What is the problem?
Thanks.
Toby

A big help for learning JOGL is reading the Red Book from OpenGL, which can be downloaded in pdf. Since JOGL is almost a direct wrapper, the function calls are identical.
To set the background color, you need to add a GLEventListener to the GLCanvas that you're using. To set the background color, in your init() method for GLEventListener do:
public void init(GLAutoDrawable glad) {
GL gl=glad.getGL();
gl.glClearColor(r,g,b);
or something similar, I'm not on my normal computer so this was all from memory. Check the JOGL API for the exact method name for glClearColor. To change the foreground color, there are a bunch of various methods that are all similar to glColor3f(float r,float g,float b).
Calling this on the GL object in the display() method will set the foreground color and everything drawn that isn't using lighting will use this color.

Exit or Badi for controlling the change of user status in notification

Hi,
I want to check the current user status of notification while saving the notificaton. If the current user status satisifies particular situation, then the notification should be save else not.
Is there any user exit or Badi which can be used to control the change of user status in notification.
Thanks
SUMIT

Hi Pushpa,
Thanks for the reply.
the problem over here is that the BADi IQS0_STATUS_MAINTAIN only allows to disable the user status.
the other function module STATUS_READ only fetches the data from JEST.
whereas my problem is that i want to check on the changed status on the screen(which is not saved also).
Appreciate your reply on the same.
Thanks

How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

SSR wrote:

I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

Here's my take on the same thing:
Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

The sound on my computer freezes/skips

The sound on my computer freezes/skips when I watch/listen to anything. I have an HP Pavilion g7 Notebook with 4g and AMD Athlon II P360 Dual-Core Processor. The bios is F.04 - from 3/29/11. Any help would be greatly appreciate.
HP Techs were not knowledgeable whatsoever. They had my put the computer back to factory settings (didn't work), check the bios (didn't work), check the hard-drive (both short and long test) (didn't work). I hesitate to call them again because all 3 of them have been unhelpful throughout the process.
I've read that people have had this problem consistently with HP, even getting new HP's from the company and they still have the same problem.
Thanks!

@paulfulks
Try the following steps in sequence.
Perform a hard reset on the notebook. In order to do that, disconnect ac adapter,battery and any adittional devices or peripherals connected to the notebook. Press and hold down power button for 5-10secs.
Power on the notebook and Uninstall Audio drivers of your notebook from Control Panel and restart the computer. After the restart is done, install the updated sound drivers by downloading it from here

I am an HP employee!!

Newbie question... Can I limit the number of users ...

Can I limit the number of users accessing a URL?
My company wants to start making videos available on our intranet web site. Once published, they are planning to send an email to all our employees (5000+) to announce the video. That's a great idea... but who asked the network guy if the network (server too) can take the load? NOBODY.
Short term solution... can I limit the number of concurrent users hitting a URL? And if possible, can I push a message to the users that try once the limit is reached?
Limiting the bandwidth is an option, but I will trash the user experience.
Long term solutions besides bandwidth increase? Cashing servers, WAN accelerators...?
Help !!!

This is really not a problem for the WSA to solve. Typically the WSA is used to control content and provide security for external internet content. The product does not have the feature you describe.
However, when it comes to the internal hosting of content - since you are using an internal server, that server should be able to control the amount of traffic it servers, number of connections, etc.

Can I control the position of the page background image?

Hi All!
My simple question: Can I control the position of the background image for example in a user-made style? I mean can I make the position of the image to center rather then tile? If it possible without editing the html code...

To create a background image for a region create a table nested within that region using the following definition <TABLE WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" MARGIN="0" BORDER="0"> and create an image call integrated into the <TD> tag within said table.
