Cant change volume if a program is selected

To change the Volume on my Laptop, i need to hit Fn-F9-F11 depending if i want to move it up/down or mute. But it will only change it if i deselct the programs I am using, As in Playing a game, i have to minize it, and click the taskbar, then im able to change the volume from those keys, rather than that it will not change it.
Does anyone know why it might do this?

Cant change volume

Hello all,
This new Pro has a problem. I started it up today, and the volume meter is stuck.
Whenever I push f5 to increase or f4 to decrease the volume, the symbol appears on screen
and shows full volume as well as a little circle with a slash through it underneath.
I assumed this ment the computer was muted, so I went into system pref, and looked for an
answer there. The mute option in the pref. is faded and unclickable. So now I am stuck with a
muted computer. Any ideas?

Look in the headphone jack. If you see a red light, it in optical mode, which has no volume control.
There is a switch in the headphone jack to switch the audio to digital when an optical connector is plugged in. Sometimes the switch sticks in the optical position. Try poking around in the headphone jack with a toothpick to reset the switch.

I could previously open my itunes program on my computer. Not now as when it asks, Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer and I select, Yes, it shuts down. I have removed and re-installed itunes, checked firewall. Pls help

I could previously open my itunes program on my computer and sync with ipad, ipod and iphone but no longer. When I select itunes a dialogue box opens with question - "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer" When I select YES, it just shuts down. I have removed and reinstalled itunes. have checked firewall and spent hours trying to fix. Please help.

A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.
Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

Changing volume's Ownership selection ?

I have an external FW hard drive that I've partitioned. I use one partition for a duplicate/clone of my Mac to boot from in emergencies and the other for daily backups.
I understand that a boot volume must not have "Ignore Ownership" selected.
My question is: can I change that selection back and forth and still have a bootable volume?
I'm almost 100% sure the partiton was set to not Ignore Ownership. However, during and overnight duplicating to that volume, it was reported in the log that the volume did have Ignore Ownership selected. So...can I just change it so Ignore Ownership is not selected and all will be well for a bootable volume? Or do I need to erase the volume and clone again with Ignore Ownership not selected? I'm trying to understand whether the permissions are always there and just made active or inactive or if the Ignore Ownership actually changes permanently the permissions on that volume.
Thank you

Hi Baltwo,
I too would like to make a back-up to a 600GB external (with the ignore ownership unchecked) then use the disc for other purposes.
I followed your link to the article but, though saying ignore ownership should be unchecked for a back-up volume, it didn't cover the scenario of making a bootable back-up with the ownership unchecked. Re-checking, using the disc for other work, then unchecking again to use as a boot disk.
Does the actual unchecking/checking of the ignore ownership box actually change/corrupt already archived volumes or is it just a temporary override?
any info on this recived with thanks!

Everything else works okay
Thanks

Hi Camelot,
How would you assess the effect on "overhead"?
This may have nothing to do with it, but I was curious as to the effect on speed of the script, so I ran the two scripts below. On my old souped-up 7500 (900MHz), the first script, with the "say" command outside the tell block, yielded an average of 111.7 ticks; the average for the second script was 110.1 ticks. So the difference appears to be about 1/30th of a second, insignificant for a one-time event (but maybe not if the routine is repeated numerous times).
(By way of comparison, my 2.7 GHz machine averaged about 80 ticks on both scripts. That's about half a second faster, and is noticeable.)
Script 1
set t1_ to the ticks
repeat 20 times
tell application "Finder"
open file "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:SEM Hazards.rtf:"
open folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
end tell
say "Now close!" using "Fred"
tell application "Finder"
close folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
close window 1 of application "TextEdit"
end tell
end repeat
set t2_ to the ticks
set AvgScriptDuration to (t2_ - t1_) / 20 & " ticks" as text
Script 2
set t1_ to the ticks
repeat 20 times
tell application "Finder"
open file "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:SEM Hazards.rtf:"
open folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
say "Now close!" using "Fred"
close folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
close window 1 of application "TextEdit"
end tell
end repeat
set t2_ to the ticks
set AverageScriptDuration to (t2_ - t1_) / 20 & " ticks" as text
(Finally, deviations from the mean ran as high as 4 ticks on the slow machine, and occassionally as high as 2 ticks on the faster machine -- for what that's worth!)

Cant adjust volume after safari 5.1 update!

just done the safari 5.1 update on my 2007 imac, all went well and it works great, ive noticed since doing this though that i cant adjust the volume of my imac! when i press the volume keys it just has a sign indicating the volume cant be adjusted!
the sound however is outputting, its just i cant change the volume.
anyone else had this issue?
many thanks,
Jamie

HI Jaime,
Open System Preferences/Sound. Click the Output tab.
Make sure the Mute button is not selected at the bottom of that pane.
Try Resetting the PRAM
If that didn't help, go to /Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.soundpref.plist file to the Trash.

How do you change volume permissions with Solaris Volume Manager?

(Previously posted in "Talk to the Sysop" - no replies)
I'm trying to set up Solaris 9 to run Oracle on raw partitions. I have my design nailed down and I have built all the raw partitions I need as soft partitions on top of RAID 1 volumes. All this is built using Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
However, all the partitions are still owned by root. Before I can create my Oracle database, I need to change the owner of the Oracle partitions to oracle:oinstall. The only reference I found telling me how to do this was in a Sun Blueprint and it essentially said "You can't change volume permissions directly or permanently using SVM and chown will only remain effective until the next reboot. To make the changes permanent, you must modify /etc/minor_perm". Unfortunately, I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere and the online man pages are not particularly helpful (at least not to me).
I'd appreciate a quick pointer, either to a good online resource or, even better, a simple example. For background, the volumes Oracle needs to own are:
/dev/md/rdsk/d101-109
/dev/md/rdsk/d201-203
/dev/md/rdsk/d301-303
/dev/md/rdsk/d401-403
/dev/md/rdsk/d501-505
I provide this information because I'd like to assign some, but not all, of the devices under /dev/md/rdsk to the oracle user and I was hoping some smart person out there could illustrate an approach using simle regular expressions, at which I'm horribly poor.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Ron, I feel your pain. I just came from an HTC also and a lot of stuff with this iPhone is bugging the crap out of me. Who makes a phone where you can't adjust the ringer and alert volumes independently? Instead, I have to adjust the alert volume when it is active. C'mon guys. Get with the program. You won a bunch of Android users over with the 4S, but you're going to chase us all back when we're done with our contract. Frustrating.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Creation of Idocs from the change pointers by the program RBDMIDOC

Hello,
I'm Creating Idocs from the change pointers by the program RBDMIDOC.
The IDOCS Created using the message type HRMD_A are Correct but when i try to RUN RBDMIDOC for message type HRMD_B no Data is selected for distribution.
All the customizing are similar and i presume that all the change pointers are active (BD50 and IMG->Personnel Management -> Organizational Management -> Basic Settings -> Activate change documents).
Can anyone help me with the necessary steps to create this IDOC types.
Do anyone know if the RBDMIDOC report is the Same for messages HRMD_A and HRMD_B.
Thanks in Advance,
Pedro Ferreira

If the setting is fine, there may be some code in exit or badi for program RBMIDOC. Check the Exit and BADI.
check the exit EXIT_SAPLBD11_001 and
check the badi IDOC_CREATION_CHECK.
Probably there may be some code on these exits which are stoping your code from getting generated.These are the two trigger happen once u execute the RBMIDOC program.for HR, we use RHALEINI program to generate the idoc. but even RBDMIDOC works. These 2 triggere will come with RHALEINI also.
If there is no code here, Then there is problem in the setting only.

HT4550 Lately I find that there is a change in my Safari program. I am no longer able to minimize Safari, instead I only have the choice of quitting the program. What do I need to do to bring back the minimize feature?

Lately I find that there is a change in my Safari program. I am no longer able to select "minimize" when I want to save the present page for a later time. Instead, I can only quit the program to get out of it. Please tell me what I need to do to get the minimize feature back. Thank you.

Hi...
"minimize" when I want to save the present page for a later time
Minimize reduces the size of the window. It doesn't save the page.
Click the Reading List icon just to the left of the Bookmarks icon left side of the Safari toolbar then drag the url from the Safari Address Bar to the Reading List.
You can access saved pages from there.

Hello ,
As you have mentioned that you have child roles in your landscape and in HR environment child roles are different in terms of org levels and HR org levels are mostly based on Personnel areas.
This might be case where your user administrator was having access to different Personnel areas and user belongs to other personnel areas.
Administrator personnel areas you can check in the Role org level and users personnel areas you can check in PA20
Another problem from HR prospective can be in case where user is not coming under that Administrator to check this you can go in Tcode OOSB--->select the administrator name and hit display objects if you are able to find your user in that list it means that administrator can maintain the user .
But from the problem which you have mentioned that authorization object is itself not present then please add that authorization object in the child role and assign to the administrator.
Please let us know if the role assigned to the administrator have this authorization object or not ?
Thanks

Cant change country!

I cant change country in itunes, clicking the change country icon displays a menu containing countrys but when i
select one it goes straight back to the US-store! Please help me...

Ok. thanks for the information SirSvempa.
I tested myself to change to the US store, it worked. Then I changed back to the Swedish store again. It took some time but it also worked.
1. Do you get some sort of error message when not beeing able to access the Swedish store?.
2. Are you sure that you are logged in when you are trying to change country?.
I have never heard of this before. So I haven't got the perfect solution for you at this stage. Maybe you could try and re-install iTunes, or if there is an repair option when un-installing - try that.
And maybe it could be a firewall issue, or if you have changed your internet provider lately. These things CAN have an effect.
I'm sending a message to anyone who is reading this and has a solution to this problem - please help us out!.
Finally, you could also try and contact iTunes Store support:

Cant change profiles as code /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager says its not recognized and ive restarted it twice to make sure its closed

Cant change my profiles and the code /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager as stated on the page doesnt work..It says -bash: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin: No such file or directory...I cant create a new one or manage them cause of not allowing in the profile area..
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i typed it in and it stated it was not recognized

An update.
I almost never use TFF24 so I haven't really been testing this. However, I did have an issue with TFF17 where it crashed or something. When I restarted TFF17 it had somehow decided to start using my TFF24 profile. No real harm there other than puzzlement, and I was missing all my plugins and extensions. Fortunately I keep the profile switcher extension in both profiles so I used it to switch back to my TFF17 profile. A few days later I needed to use TFF24. When I tried starting it with TFF17 still running it did not start up but gave me the old warning about not being able to run two versions of Firefox. I quit TFF17, started TFF24 and it started up using my TFF17 profile. Of course then it ran an extension compatibility check, found the "outdated" ones and removed them from the profile! They were still gone when I restarted in TFF17. An add-on check said one of them (Classic Compact) only had a Firefox20+ version available until I did some real web searching and finally found a page with the older version. By the way, simply copying the extensions folder from a profile backup does not seem to install a full suite of extensions, you have to do the full profile.
Observations:
- If you do this, keep a profile switcher add-on in both copies of TFF. Select it to always display at startup which is annoying but not a huge amount of labor to click through. That way you can make sure each version is starting with the correct profile. I also installed an add-on which stops TFF from doing an add-on compatibility check when starting, just in case. It is easy to toggle on and off if you really want one done.
- Of course right now I don't have capability to keep both versions running at the same time unless I go back and set it all up again, but at least I can have two different versions for when I need to run the newer one.
