Different soundvolume in different apps?

Hello,
I'm kinda new to the linux community, and ArchLinux really makes me feel comfortable with it.
I've learned plenty using the ArchWiki, ArchForum and other general linux wikis.
I'm not really getting all the alsa/oss/etc stuff, yet, but I think I'm slowly getting to it
Now the thing is, searching for sound and soundvolume stuff almost always brings me to
threads that are about getting sound to work in general.
But what I actually want, is having different sound volumes in different applications.
I use Teamspeak a lot, also am gaming pretty much. But I just looove to listen to music.
but using ts2 + gaming + listening to music... it doesn't work out with my music being as
loud as ts2 and gaming.
So basically what I want is to toggle my music volume without toggling
my main volume.
currently using:
openbox3 with hotkeys to control MPD (using mpc for that matter).
teamspeak2 running native on linux
Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam over Wine.
and Alsa for sound. (soundcard: creative soundblaster ... uhh , an old one )
Now does anyone have an idea, or at least hint for me, how to solve
that issue?
Thanks for any help in advance,
palo

In /etc/mpd.conf
# MPD needs to know what mixer settings to change when you
# An example for controlling an ALSA mixer:
#mixer_type "alsa"
#mixer_device "default"
#mixer_control "PCM"
# An example for controlling an OSS mixer:
#mixer_type "oss"
#mixer_device "/dev/mixer"
#mixer_control "PCM"
# audio outputs, you can tell it to use the software mixer:
mixer_type "software"
/etc/rc.d/mpd restart
That should do it, MPD's volume control wont affect everythin else.

TS3899 Hi. How do I attach more than one document to an email on the iPad, especially if they come from different apps? When writing an email on the iPad there's no option for attachments.

Hi. How do I attach more than one document to an email originating from my iPad, especially if the documents come from different apps? When starting an email there's no option for attachments, unless you send the document from inside an app like iBook and then you can only send one at a time.

How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

Hi,
how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
example:
when I create a .txt files:
Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
Thanks in advance!

Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it. For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders.
If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device.
One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder. From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc?

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?

Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

How can I search different App Stores on the iPad without creating accounts for them?

I'm doing some research on the contents of different App Stores, and the only search feature that gives me all the data I need is the iPad store under iOS 5 or earlier. However, I cannot search a different store without creating an account and signing in, and to create an account I have to have a billing address in that store's country. iTunes on my Mac will let me search various stores without signing in (as long as I don't try to download), but iTunes doesn't give me all the information I need. Does anyone have any ideas for using iPad to search different stores without signing in?
Thanks!

This will make a permanent change to the store location for that ID (at least, until I change it back). That *may* be useful (I won't know for a few hours because I don't have the iPad with me right now), but it's not what I want. Within the App Store I want to search a different store without having to sign in. I can do this easily enough in iTunes on my MBP and would really like to do it on the iPad too (because the iTunes app search doesn't give me all the info I need).
Thanks for the idea; stay tuned. I'll get back to you as soon as I get the chance to try it.

Is there any way to get my music that I've downloaded via different apps or made via my MusicStudio to show up on my music app?

I have been researching and trying different apps all night and I've ended up spending four dollars that I ended up wasting. I'm sure there's a very easy answer. I have an iPad, it is the newest iOS software, my question is, is there anyway to get the music that I've downloaded on say Amazon or that I've made via my MusicStudio app to show up in my music on my iPad without having to then download it to my computer to get on iTunes to transfer from my computer to my iPad again? I've got the music on my iPad, but both of the apps that I use to make a video with the music just use the native music app to search for the music on the iPad and shows the some 69 songs that I've either downloaded via iTunes or transferred from my laptop to my iPad. it won't show any of the other stuff that is on there. Is there any app that I could get that will help me to add music to my native music app so we'll show up or is there anything I can do other then transferring it from iTunes on my laptop back to my iPad?
Thanks.

You will need to go via your computer's iTunes - to get music into the Music app you either need to download it directly on the iPad from the iTunes store app, or sync it from your computer's iTunes

Passing data from a background job to RFC calls in different App server

The program i am working on can be explained in the following steps:
Step A- We use a standard program that is executed as a background job and the standard program obtains some data for a particular scenario.
Step B - The job(standard program) during its execution creates many RFCs executed as dialog work processes on various application servers and processes data.In the RFCs various exits are executed.
We currently write data to database(Z table) in Step A and retreive data in exits in Step B to access the information written to DB(Z table). We want to eliminate writing to database since it consumes time.
Is there any solution apart from writing data to database and retreiving the same.
I am not sure if we can use ABAP memory or SAP memory to access the information in the exits since they are executed on different App servers.

We have not been able to arrive at a solution to the below, any solutions / inputs will be rewarded.

Background Job spool / output file in different app server

We are working with 2 ECC app servers, A and B.
I've defined in app server A a background job to run an abap report and this report creates and submit 4 other background jobs.
Each of these 4 jobs is regarding an abap report which outputs a text file in the server.
The question is, why are the jobs generating the files in different app servers randomically?
The same file, in the 1st execution was generated in app server A, and without any change was generated in app server B, in the job 2nd execution?
Thank you!

Hi,
You can specify server name whille creating a batch job , so that it gets executed to that server only.
there is one field (in SM36 during creation or SM37 while modifying batch job) called "Exec Target " , where you can specify server name.
Hence you can plan to run your some batch jobs on server A or B.

Rupali

I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs

I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs. About these many IDs i am unaware.

You only can update those Apps, if you know the Passwords from the AppleIDs, which were used for purchase.
If you´re unable to enter these Passwords you can´t update them.
You can delete those Apps from your device and purchase & download them again with your own known AppleID.
There is no other Way to get them updated. Because you are not the owner of those Apps.

On my iPad 2 I cannot click on an app in the app store or click on different app categories. What should I do????

When I go into the app store on my iPad 2 I can't click on apps to view them nor can I click on different app categories. What is wrong and what should I do???

Try closing the App Store app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

In Apple Configurator, can I set up different sets of iPads with different apps loaded? Or will all iPads synced with Configurator be required to have the same build?

In Apple Configurator, can I set up different sets of iPads with different apps loaded? Or will all iPads synced with Configurator be required to have the same build?

Hi jshira86,
You can definitely have different sets of iPads with different apps loaded. When you "supervise" your iPads, you will see that on the left side of the Configurator window there is a "+" sign in the lower left corner. Click it to create a new device group. With this new device group you can choose what apps and configuration profiles you want to install on that group of iPads. Create as many groups as you want to customize the apps and profiles you want on them.
Hope this answers your question!

External screen dims when opening different apps?

Hi All ----
Seems my external screen dims and rectifies when opening different apps - like some kind of brightness adjustment going on... it doesnt happen on the MBP, just on the external screen --- i've checked all possible settings on Ext. Displ. / re-booted / repaired perms... cant quite figure it out.
I dont think this is energy-saver related.
Many thnx for any help in adv. ---
cheers,
J.

The problem with that is, it's hard to put it back together without assuring that you're not pinching the cable again.
Instructions can be found here.
As he says, the cable can be found at Small Dog Electronics:
http://www.smalldog.com/product/43417
If you need replacement feet, they can be found at MicroDoc.
The specific link you need on PowerBook Tech's website can be found here.
If it looks like too much for you to handle, you may want to check out DT & T Computer Services. Perhaps in a metropolitan area like Austin you can check the Yellow Pages and find a technician willing to match the price.
At one point, DominionTech in Colchester, Vermont was offering the repair for $79.90, but I'm not sure if that price is still available.
Good luck.

What is the difference between the sports edition apple watch and the normal edition, is it the bands different or do the they have different apps. Also could you take the bands off and put new ones on(change the bands)?

When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swiping to a different app

When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swipping to a different app or the desktop. This is frustrating to the other person. We were having a discussion and I said I wouls look it up and when I swipped to Safari, the camera went off. It makes the other person think the connection has been lost. Anywhere to report issues like this to Apple?

In reading other threads, I found a few that recommend a hard reset to solve the issue. I have tried it, and thus far haven't expereienced the problem again. Hopefully that's it then

We have 150 iPads at our school. What effective ways have you found to update and download new apps to such a large number of iPads? Can I download different apps to different sub sets of our large group - or must they all have the same apps?

At our elementary school, our 150 iPads are separated into 5 subsets. Can I download different apps to each subset, or must they all have the same apps since they all share the same Apple ID. Some iPads are for grades k-2, and some are for 3-5. I'd like to have the best apps for the different grade levels on the iPads. Currently we have "iPad Carts" to house our iPads in, and could use them to upload and update apps all at once, but don't utilize this function as we have a custom set up for the iPads that is erased each time we update through the carts.

You can configure different set of apps for different groups of ipads.
You need an mdm to do this.
