Can someone help a non-tech type with connecting AppleTV?
I want to connect AppleTV3. My current setup was done 6 yrs ago when I bought TV, Receiver and Speakers. Sony TV has 3 HDMI inputs, Integra receiver has 2 HDMI inputs. On receiver HDMI1 is from cable box, HDMI2 is Bluray, HDMI Out goes to TV HDMI1. ATV works when I plug it in to the HDMI2 input on receiver instead of the Bluray but I don't want to have to manually switch cables around each time. I bought a Rockport switch box from Bestbuy thinking that would give me more HDMI Inputs but couldn't get it to work. When I plug ATV directly into TV HDMI 2 or 3 I don't get sound. I really hate to pay $100++++ to have someone come out to look at this and then tell me it can't be done. Is there an easy fix?
There are nev erenough HDMI inputs!
Presumably your Integra receiver does the surround sound duties.
Without going down the route of buying a new receiver, I would do what you have done and used either HDMI input 2 or 3 on the TV for AppleTV.
My initial guess would be that you have Apple TV Settings for audio configured for Dolby Digital > On.
Most TVs can only handle stereo so if you force Dolby Digital over HDMI you get no audio - however I would expect you to be able to play stereo audio/trailers fine. If that is what you have configured turn Dolby Digital to Auto or Off and see if that gives sound on the TV.
If that works then I would personally run an optical cable from AppleTV to an optical input on the receiver for better audio/surround audio thoiugh for Dolby Digital you may need to silence the TV and have the DD option set to On in the settings to get DD over optical (stereo goes when there is no DD).
Also check what happens via HDMI input 1 with appleTV plugges in - you could conncet the Integra HDMI ut to inputs 2 or 3.
You will want the Blu Ray player hooked up to the Integra. If your cable broadcasts are stereo only you might be better off having Blu Ray and AppleTV hooked up to Integra and cable to HDMI on TV.
Many ways to potentially do it.

I just bought apple tv. I have an ipad mini with ios 6.1.3. I want to do the mirroring but the airplay doesn't seem to be on my ipad. Can someone help?
Yes they are both connected to the same wifi network. Do you know when you double click on the home button and swipe right? The airplay button isn't there beside the play/pause and forward and backward button. It should be there.

I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac. -

Can someone help me with this powerpoint viewer with director issue?
I have 'inherieted' an interactive CD that was built using director mx2004. I get presentations from different people and put them on a CD to hand out at the end of a seminar. For the Power Point presentations I have director use the powerpoint viewer just in case someone does not have PowerPoint on there machine. This works fine, but I have been getting people that are using PowerPoint 2007 which uses a different extension (pptx instead of ppt). I also have word documents, adobe pdf, ect. Here is the code that handles how to open up the files, whether using PPT viewer or the default program. wasn't sure if you needed all of this or not.
--RUNS WHEN MAIN OPEN BUTTON IS PRESSED--
on mouseUp me
--if button 1-5 has been clicked
if(_global.btnNum = 0 or _global.btnNum = 1 or _global.btnNum = 2 or _global.btnNum = 3 or _global.btnNum = 4 ) then
--assign selected file to a variable
selectedFile = sprite("listBox").selectedItem.data
--path of the file that is selected
filePath = "workshops\days\day" & _global.btnNum & "\" & selectedFile
--find out the type of file
fileExt = selectedFile.char[(selectedFile.length-2)..selectedFile.length]
end if
--if file is classified secret and not provided on this disc (must have "*" at data end)
if(selectedFile.char[selectedFile.length] = "*") then
--set file to placeholder.ppt (since it has an * at data end)
filePath = "workshops\placeholder.ppt"
--set file extension to ppt (since it has an * at data end)
fileExt = "ppt"
end if
if(fileExt = "ppt") then
--opens file in powerpointviewer
_player.open(filePath & " /S", "launchers\PPTVIEW.EXE")
else
--opens file in the default program on that computer
_player.open(filePath, "launchers\PLAY.EXE")
end if
end
I have been trying to get the pptx files to also open in the viewer. I have been able to do this, but the problem is it wants to try to open everything in viewer.
Here is what I have tried:
1- This wants to open everything in PPT viewer. Not sure why.
if(fileExt = "ppt" or "pptx") then
--opens file in powerpointviewer
_player.open(filePath & " /S", "launchers\PPTVIEW.EXE")
else
--opens file in the default program on that computer
_player.open(filePath, "launchers\PLAY.EXE")
end if
end
2-This will just open the 'pptx' file in Power Point. I am sure I am using the 2007 version of PPT viewer in director.
if(fileExt = "ppt") then
--opens file in powerpointviewer
_player.open(filePath & " /S", "launchers\PPTVIEW.EXE")
else if(fileExt = "pptx") then
--opens file in powerpointviewer
_player.open(filePath & " /S", "launchers\PPTVIEW.EXE")
else
--opens file in the default program on that computer
_player.open(filePath, "launchers\PLAY.EXE")
end if
end
I am not sure where to go from here. Can someone help me? Have not been using director for very long.
ThanksIt's unclear what exactly is the problem: is it managing to distinguish and open PowerPoint 2007 (*.pptx) files, or is it that every file tries to run in PPTView.exe?
Part of your problem might be that .pptx is 4 characters long, while .ppt is only 3, and the code dealing with the file extension:
fileExt = selectedFile.char[(selectedFile.length-2)..selectedFile.length]
will only grab the last 3 characters regardless of where the "." is.
Create a new #movie script member (press Ctrl + Shift + U and then hit the + button - "New Cast Member" - at the top-left of the script window that opens). Set the script syntax to JavaScript by altering the drop-down just below the + button and paste in the following:
function jsGetExtension(fName){
if(typeof(fName)!="string") return "";
return fName.split(".").pop();
Then use the following modification to your original script:
global btnNum
--RUNS WHEN MAIN OPEN BUTTON IS PRESSED--
on mouseUp me
--if button 1-5 has been clicked
case btnNum of
0, 1, 2, 3, 4:
--assign selected file to a variable
selectedFile = sprite("listBox").selectedItem.data
--path of the file that is selected
filePath = "workshops\days\day" & btnNum & "\" & selectedFile
--find out the type of file
fileExt = jsGetExtension(selectedFile)
end case
--if file is classified secret and not provided on this disc (must have "*" at data end)
if (selectedFile.char[selectedFile.length] = "*") then
--set file to placeholder.ppt (since it has an * at data end)
filePath = "workshops\placeholder.ppt"
--set file extension to ppt (since it has an * at data end)
fileExt = "ppt"
end if
case fileExt of
"ppt", "pptx":
--opens file in powerpointviewer
_player.open(filePath & " /S", "launchers\PPTVIEW.EXE")
otherwise:
--opens file in the default program on that computer
_player.open(filePath, "launchers\PLAY.EXE")
end case
end
However, I'm nervous that you aren't supplying the full path to files and executables. I don't know where the movie file that contains this code is relative to the folder "launchers\" or "workshops\" put I suggest you prepend the movie's full path (or the application's full path) like so:
global btnNum
--RUNS WHEN MAIN OPEN BUTTON IS PRESSED--
on mouseUp me
mPath = _movie.path -- OR _player.applicationPath
--if button 1-5 has been clicked
case btnNum of
0, 1, 2, 3, 4:
--assign selected file to a variable
selectedFile = sprite("listBox").selectedItem.data
--path of the file that is selected
filePath = mPath & "workshops\days\day" & btnNum & "\" & selectedFile
--find out the type of file
fileExt = jsGetExtension(selectedFile)
end case
--if file is classified secret and not provided on this disc (must have "*" at data end)
if (selectedFile.char[selectedFile.length] = "*") then
--set file to placeholder.ppt (since it has an * at data end)
filePath = mPath & "workshops\placeholder.ppt"
--set file extension to ppt (since it has an * at data end)
fileExt = "ppt"
end if
case fileExt of
"ppt", "pptx":
--opens file in powerpointviewer
_player.open(filePath & " /S", mPath & "launchers\PPTVIEW.EXE")
otherwise:
--opens file in the default program on that computer
_player.open(filePath, mPath & "launchers\PLAY.EXE")
end case

I bought my macbook pro on August 2011 at an apple store, with the Intel i7. However mirrorring in not working with two of my Apple TVs. These Apple TVs are 2nd and 3rd generation loaded with the latest software. I can succesfully transmit from my itunes on my Macbook pro to both Apple TVs, but I can not see the airplay icon on the taskbar. Can someone help?

hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA
Marco,
Here are some suggestions:
1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.
On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.
Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
You must get this working before continuing.
You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.
(On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).
On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.
Click on Serial and Parallel.
Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.
Open a VISA Test Panel.
Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)
Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)
The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.
Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.
If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.
(Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.)
I hope this helps,
steve

The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4280(0x000010b8). It happened on drive E: _NEC CD-RW NR-9300A on CDR media at speed 48X.Hi JKost,
This error is usually a "Optical Power Calibration error" and can be caused by software conflicts, a firmware that needs to be updated, or a blank CD that the drive cannot read/write too (Not all drives are compatible with all brands of blank CDs sad to say)
I tried to look for your exact CD burning model on the dell site for a "Dimension 2400" but didn't see an exact model matching "NEC CD-RW NR-9300A" so if it is a burner that came with the PC when you bought it, you will have to goto the dell site www.dell.com to download the correct firmware update. If its one you had installed after you bought the PC, then goto the NEC site for the update www.NEC.com -
I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...
Dear Dominic
Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
Thanks again,
David -
