Can I prevent the headphone to take over the sound output?

When I plug in my Apple EarPods in iMac all alternatives of sound in- and output are overruled. I'm using skype, so I'd like my EarPods to be plugged in all the time, but if I do, the incomming call sound - as well as any other sound - is only audible through the EarPods. Isn't there a way to tell the computer to use both the headphones and the internal speakers for sound output, so I can choose to use the EarPods just for Skype calls?

That's what I feared. It didn't solve my problem, but I can stop searching now... thanks.

  • When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

    From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie.  Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point?  I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV.  The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!!  Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

    Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc?  Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
    Please note, only users read/comment here  - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something.  I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

  • I have an iPad2 and recently bought an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad 2.  How can I get him an iCloud account associated with that iPad and his iPhone 5?

    I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad2.  How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

    Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

    Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

  • When I go into iTunes on my Mac is recently takes over the entire screen and I can not get rid of it.  Is there a setting I can change to have it work the old way?

    When I go into iTunes (the latest update) now, it takes over the entire screen is difficult to remove.  Is there a setting I can change in it to have it behave the old way?

    I presume you are runnning iTunes on either an OS X 10.7 or OS X 10.8 system. Move the cursor to the very top of the screen so that the menu bar appears, then click the blue box with the arrows at the very right corner of the menu bar, or press Shift-Command-F. That will switch iTunes back to a normal window, which it should then remember for future launches.
    Regards.

  • When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display.  Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

    I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears.  Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

    Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

  • SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

    SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow.  The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes.  I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2.  We installed the most recent patches and
    service packs.  Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem.  However I don't see any answers either.

    Hi Kim Sharp,
    According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
    of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
    Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ 
    If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
    Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2  view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
    After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
    use ReportServer
    SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
    TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
    TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
    ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
    FROM ExecutionLog2
    ORDER BY Timestart DESC
    Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :

    Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

  • Firefox has a million pop ups and takes over the page im looking at

    When im doing anything with firefox (ex search, reading a page, watching movie) i will get a million pop ups. some are there own pages in the background and most will open in new tab on page. it will take over the page im on and i will be stuck closing everything out to my desk top and re opening a page. i have the pop up blocker on but doesn't do anything.I am using a mac. the browser is pretty much useless at this point and this is the longest i have been on a page in weeks.

    You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
