Frontrow ignores iTunes EQ settings??

Movies which I have in iTunes seem unaffected by the iTunes equalizer... meaning that I can't choose how they sound in Frontrow either. Does anyone else find this or know a way to change sound settings for movies in Frontrow/iTunes?
Pulling my hair out here!
Thanks,

The EQ settings only affect iTunes playback. They do not modify the file itself, nor do they apply if you burn the file to an audio CD.

KDE4 ignores font hinting settings [solved: qt bug, fixed in 4.5]

Full hinting enabled in Gnome and KDE:
Slight hinting enabled in Gnome and KDE:
KDE seems to ignore the hinting settings. It's present in ~/.fonts.conf, also Qt3 apps work fine.
I would like to use slight hinting everywhere, but KDE4 defaults to full hinting anyway
Google wasn't very helpful on this issue, and I found no mention of it in the KDE bugzilla.

Edit2: Oops, ignore my patch - it doesn't work. Qt4 doesn't even use cairo.

Can Apple TV use the balance from my iTunes Store when renting a movie? I couldnt find the option so I believe it will charge my credit card it made me add to the iTunes Store settings.

Can Apple TV use the balance from my iTunes Store when renting a movie? I couldnt find the option so I believe it will charge my credit card it made me add to the iTunes Store settings.

For the avoidance of doubt, you must have enough of a balance to pay for the rental in full, it won't take the balance and the difference by credit card. If you don't have enough of a balance it will all be taken by credit card.

OS X 10.5.4 ignoring my preferences settings

I posted this question under a different heading, but after thinking about it I think the multiple symptoms are all attributable to OS X ignoring my preferences settings. I'm experiencing the following problems.
First, after working fine for months (since I got the computer), my mouse no longer registers my right clicks. The right mouse button works just like the main mouse button, even though my preference settings are for the right mouse button to be enabled.
Second, after working fine since the beginning, Spaces no longer opens applications in the space they are assigned. E.g., I have safari and mail assigned to space 2, and word and excel to space 1. They used to open correctly in their assigned space, but now they all open in whichever space is the active one. Again, the settings in the Spaces pref's pane remain unchanged.
Third, I had set my security preferences to require a password to wake from screensaver. The preferences remain unchanged, but now the computer wakes from the screensaver without requiring a password.
Fourth, I have the program "Text Expander" installed. It works as a preferences pane, but now no longer functions even though all settings in the preferences pane for the program remain unchanged.
All of this started last week. Logging out and back in does not correct the problem. I tried rebooting on Friday, which did solve all of these problems. After coming back to work after the weekend, the problems are back, and rebooting no longer solves them. I also tried trashing my finder preferences, but this did not seem to help.
Any advice appreciated.

Thank you for the reply and the advice. I downloaded MainMenu and ran the various scripts, including repair permissions, and then rebooted. This didn't fix the problem. I then added a new account to see if the problem was restricted to my own account or was system wide. The new account worked properly, and then after switching back, my main account also worked...
Until this morning, when it was not working again. I rebooted again, and currently the Mac is responding to the System Preferences settings. (We'll see how long this lasts, though.)
A couple of additional things I noticed while the Mac was not responding to system preferences:
Fast user switching, although enabled, did not work and the account name did not appear in the menu bar;
Items that I had dragged off of the dock reappear after logging on again.
Thanks,
Tom

What is the best iTunes Equalizer settings for Bose QC15 Headphones?

What is the best iTunes Equalizer settings for the Bose QC15 Headphones? An image of those settings would be great.

I'm a bit of an audio geek, so I can tell you that YES whatever sounds right is what you want, but NO those settings are not very good. The general setting is "OK" but the values are extremely out of range. Take that setting and reduce the distance between the sliders and you're getting there. Look for example at how the other iTunes presets are made, the don't go that far from the horizontal middle, and for good reason.
When you play a recorded song, the song has usually been put through an extensive process of mixing, EQ and mastering before you got it, in order to get the best balance of all frequencies, to ensure the best sound accross a wide range of speakers and headphones, and to ensure the most important details and instruments are audible when played together.
All speakers are different, and that's where the idea of an EQ for the listener is introduced. The idea is to tweak the overall sound from your music player (iTunes) to compensate for the strengths and weaknesses of your speakers. Which to be honest, is a bit much to expect form a typical music consumer.
The iTunes EQ has a set of horizontal lines representing 3dB (volume steps) each. In my experience you should not boost or cut more than 6 db at the most - and that's a lot! I stay at around 0-4dB. The extreme options are there to cut noise from bad recordings or emphasize a detail you can't hear very well.
So here's basic EQ lesson:
The EQ represents the range frequencies in sound that the human ear can hear. Actually they go beyond that - most people cannot hear the far left and right frequencies. The range of frequencis start at "deep" or "low" frequencies at the left (bass) passing through the Midrange (midtones) in the center, to the (treble) at the right.
Your speaker has a limit to how many frequencies it can play at once before it starts to lose detail - meaning one sound will drown out in order to make room for another. So don't over-EQ your sound or it'll ruin it.
How to tweak an EQ:
1) Start by playing a well-produced piece of modern music - it'll most likely be well mixed and employ a wide range of frequencies. I'm into heavy metal but for this I'd probably go with some average pop music, because metal is so noisy it gets hard to pick out the details.
2) Set you EQ to FLAT - zero all accross the board. It'll sound pretty flat and boring unless your speakers are very "flavoured" or "colored" already.
Sliding any of the EQ bar up, will increase or boost the volume of the frequency the bar represents. You can't really add frequencies that aren't there already - you're just adding noise in that freqeuncy and that will "fill up" the available frequencies on your speaker, causing that "drowned out" effect I was talking about.
Instead, slide them down from the center, and you're cutting the volume instead. This is better because it'll leave more "room" for the other frequencies. You can always use the Preamp slider at the end if you're worried about loudness (but I wouldn't).
3) Start by tweaking the 500 and 1K slider. This represents the middle of your ears' range of hearing and the most noticable change. It should most likely go downwards - this will take the "canned" sound out of your music and that'll be apparent quickly. Go ahead and slide that down as far as -6dB.
4) Now work outwards from the center forming a "v" shape, where the top tips of the V end at the 64 slider and the 8k slider. The very far left and right sliders (32 and 16K) should dip down again to about 0bB. Trust me, these are almost non-important in most music. You can tweak thos last if you feel it's needed.
5) now it's time to start playing round with the V shape. Go ahead and try sliding the sliders a little up or down between 125-250 and 1K to 4K. You may find that some need to move a lot out of the average "V" shape before the sound is good. This is what my iTunes EQ settings ended up looking like for my Motörheadphones "Motorizer" headphones:
Hope it helps.

AppFabric 1.1 with Windows 7 losing or abandone sessions and ignore the timeout settings

Hi,
We have a enterprise financial web solution using aspx and AppFabric 1.1 and we have an issue with Sessions as the get abandoned or appFabric is ignoring the timeout settings.
I tried almost everything: use sql and xml configuration, deactivate firewalls, ensure all sessions are set to 20 minutes expirations. We have the appFabric settings on the web.config and our project is multilayer but sessions are mainly
created/consumed at the web project level..
We use AppFabric 1.1 with Sql Server 2008R2 over a Windows7 x64 environment.
I also tried all the options using powerShell command: get-command -module DistributedCacheAdministration, I increased the TTL to 38 mins but still nothing makes any difference. Sessions are lost between ~~ 5 to 10 minutes no matter if
you are playing with the solution or you left aside..
Please help. I really appreciate any suggestion, idea, recommendation..

Note the provider type in AF 1.1 is
type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheSessionStateStoreProvider,Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"
which is different from the type in 1.0:
type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheSessionStoreProvider"

App Store ignoring System Pref. settings

Today I awoke to an App Store notification that there were updates available. I was given two choices, 1) Install 2) Later (with some options). I opened App Store app to see what updates were supposedly available and there was the one update I was putting off which was XCode. I didn't want to install it now. I knew that I had changed the App Store settings in System Preferences to olny check for updates but not act on them or download them so I opened System Prefs. and verified this. Sure enough, I had only one item checked (Automatically check for updates). Everything else was unchecked.
So, I have a few quesstions;
Why is App Store ignoring its own settings and download an app I didn't want yet?
Why did the notification only offer me two options (again ignoring its own settings)?
Why didn't the notification tell me which updates were available?
And some comments;
This is just an unacceptable way to approach updates, IMHO. I need control over what is going to be downloaded and when (bandwidth control and timing). I must know what is ready for update beforehand so I can understand what it means and be able to opt out or delay it to a point when I am ready (control over what is going to be updated vs what is not and when).

First, open Disk Utility, select your hard disk, go to Partition and create a volume. Move your files to it. Then, press Command and R keys in boot, open Disk Utility, erase the Mac volume and reinstall. When the install ends, transfer your files to your account and delete the volume

Where are iTunes sync settings stored?

After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sychronization settings it iTunes appear to have been reset on my Macbook Pro. Another strange thing about this "reset" is the only settings affected were those for Music and Video.
I had updated several apps on the Macbook and needed to sync those apps to my iPhone, as well as a couple purchased on the iPhone since my last sync with the Mac. So ... I connected my iPhone to the Macbook, and after reconizing my phone the "Sync" button became activated. Since I was on the Summary page, I suspected no changes, as I had made none, and the Capacity bar was full to about .2GB Free, as expected. I pressed the "Sync" button as usual.
Somewhere between steps 1 and 2 (or during step 2), the Capacity bar dropped to Green, Yellow and a sliver of Orange with 23.2GB Free?!? Whassup?? As there was no method (I am aware of short of powering down the laptop) to pause/stop sync in progress, which I suspect would be dangerous anyway, I was forced to let it complete. After it finished. I checked my iPhone and the music and videos had all been removed. When I examined the sync settings in iTunes, I noticed the Sync Music and Sync Movies check boxes were selected. All other check boxes below them for Music: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genre, Include music videos; and Movies: Movie Names, had mysteriously been unselected.
Since all my files are still in the proper folders on the Macbook Pro, and I use Time Machine, I am not concerned about file loss. What I am concerned with is how did this happen and where are these settings stored, so I do not have to go through ehem all and reselect each and every one to prevent this from recuring in the future. The technician and his manager could not find the location of these settings, as we tried replacing an older version from Time Machine to no avail.
Could anyone please tell me where the Synchronization settings in iTunes are stored, so I might be able to recover the proper file and not have to reselect each sub-selection to return my music and videos to the iPhone? I can Restore my iPhone from the backup just prior to the Sync; however, these does nothing to prevent the incorrect iTunes Sync settings from removing my music and video next time to transfer/sync upgraded apps.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. For more details see below regarding OS, iTunes and iPhone versions.
Sincerely,
Wynne Hunkler
OS:          10.7.5 (Lion)
iOS:          6.0 (10A403)
iTunes:     10.7 (21)

I think the device stores those selections along with which library they belong to. That's why you get the prompt to erase and reload with a different library. If you had restored the backup taken immediately before the upgrade that would probably have restored your selections.

ITunes 7 Bug: iPod sets iTunes' synchronization settings!

I certainly hope this is a bug and not a feature. I have a home computer and a work computer that I use my iPod and iTunes with. I want my podcasts to automatically be copied to my iPod at home, but not at work. So at home I have the "Sync Podcasts" feature turned on, and at work I have it turned off. But the iPod changes iTunes' synchronization settings based on the synchronization settings of the copy of iTunes it was last connected to! So assuming I leave home with an iPod full of podcasts, as soon as I plug my iPod into my work computer and run iTunes, ALL MY PODCASTS ARE DELETED because the iPod turns the "Sync Podcasts" feature on, and there are no podcasts on that computer to sync. And there's no way to prevent that from happening beforehand, because the "Sync Podcasts" feature doesn't even exist until you plug the iPod in and let it do its thing. So now I'm really ticked off, and I turn "Sync Podcasts" off. When I get home and plug the iPod in and run iTunes, my Podcasts don't automatically sync anymore because the iPod has turned the "Sync Podcasts" feature off. So right now, I'm using a workaround in which I leave the "Sync Podcasts" feature off on both computers, and only turn it on temporarily when I want to sync the iPod.

An update to iTunes fixed this a while ago.

ITunes ignoring my sync settings

Since I updated to 7.7.1 iTunes has been syncing everything in the podcast directory despite me selecting the option to only sync unplayed podcast and also going through and selecting specific podcast series to sync. How do I fix this problem? I have tryed uninstalling 7.7.1 and reinstalling 7.7.0 but it didn't help.

Even with podcast set not to sync at all, podcast are still syncing. I have tryed deleting iTunes preference folders.

IPod ignores iTune settings

I have programmed my smart playlists to play "least recently played song." But when I play the playlist on the iPod in the shuffle song setting, instead of heeding that instruction, it shuffles in random order, not by play frequency or recent play. Because it's using random shuffling, I can hear the same song twice within half an hour even though the playlist has 750 songs!
This also means that when I add new songs, instead of hearing them immediately, I can wait weeks before they're played.
Why bother programming a smart playlist if the iPod is going to ignore it? Is there anyway to get the iPod to honor the smart list programming?

It's been a week, but no one has come up with a solution to my issue. Woe is me. Any suggestions on what my next step should be? Any help is appreciated.

How Do I Move iTunes Playlists/Settings only to new computer

I have an iMac G5 (10.5.8) where where my iTunes sofware is located...however all the songs that the iTunes program accesses are located on an external hard drive. (iMac G5 Hard Drive not big enough to hold all the songs)
I have a MacBook (10.6.7) that I want to run my itunes software from instead of the G5...while I keep all the songs that the program access on my external hard drive where the songs already exist.
So to summarize, I just want to move my itunes playlists and settings from my G5 over to my MacBook, but leave all the songs on the external hard drive.
Can anyone answer how to accomplish this? Thank you.
