How do you announce mt-daapd to avahi?

Has anyone of you successfully announced the mt-daapd service to avahi, so that e.g. Rhythmbox finds the DAAP-Share automatically on startup?
The mt-daapd service is running and I can connect Rhythmbox manually, but when I use "avahi-discover" the daap-Service is not shown and so no program will find it automatically. I must say, I am a bit overwhelmed by the config files for avahi and I don't know how I have to set it up correctly. I have a server that will host the Daap Share and will connect with my laptop. Services like SSH are found by avahi-discover. In the admin pages for mt-daapd there is a field that tells me that MDNS service is not running. I guess it has something to do with this. But I can not start the service from the web-interface.
any help is as always highly appreciated.

Well, before doing anything i must tell you than you cannot have two or more mDNS servers in your system (avahi is one and mt-daapd has another one), so you must tell mt-daapd to not load its mDNS server appending "-m" to the binary line in the daemon (/etc/rc.d/mt-daapd). There is another solution to this. If avahi-daemon runs first in your rc.conf you can configure it so when another program tries to registers its mDNS server avahi disallows it (disallow-other-stacks=yes in avahi-daemon.conf).
The second thing you must know is to add this to a file (for example, daap.service) in /etc/avahi/services:
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">



<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
<service>
<type>_daap._tcp</type>
<port>3689</port>
</service>
<service>
<type>_rsp._tcp</type>
<port>3689</port>
</service>
</service-group>
,and restarting avahi you can see now the daapd server appears.

I want friends to look at my pictures on Flickr. I'd like to give simple instructions since the Flickr page is very busy and confusing.

This is so basic: How do you turn off Apple TV, or do you just exit by changing the Input back to regular TV? When I put Apple TV to sleep, I had to log in again, a very tedious process with that awful "announcer" for the hearing impaired (how to remove?)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV will put itself to sleep. I'm not sure what you needed to log into again, but you shouldn't have to. Do you have a little more detail about what happens.

Calling ex-Windows users - how do you survive on a Mac?

I am curious what recent Mac-converts who have used proper Music Management software on Windows do now? I understand that newbies who have only used the iTunes application (even on Windows) are quite content with iTunes, but what about those who got used to proper music management software such as Media Monkey or WinAmp? I realize that if you only buy stuff from the iTunes store you are again probably fine with iTunes (it seems to be primarily a front-end to the iTunes store), but what do other people do?
Is there any alternative music management software on the Mac? Is SongBird any good?
Do you just spend your time endlessly converting files so that iTunes will read them (losing quality on the way)?
How do you maintain ID3 tagging?
How do you share music freely given the iTunes policing restrictions?
Have you just given up on music while you have a Mac?
Do you run a VirtualMachine with a Windows partition so you can run a Win music manager? This worked well for me for a few months, but the Mac crashed so regularly (every few days) with VMware that it became unworkable
I realize there are a number of external applications that fix some of iTunes major technical shortcomings by enabling syncing to non-Apple devices (at more costs), but the few I've used are pretty flakey (no option to sync to SDcards yet). The lack of video support in iTunes (apart from 1 or 2 basic formats) is forgivable as I just want to manage music. Then there is the interface and functionality shortcomings:
No 'now playing' queue window
No customization of look & feel
No lyrics viewing
Can't export M3U files configurably for Windows
No navigation/management of files on disk (and yes, I do not let iTunes manage the files - as if)
Loss of track data after importing or overwriting (album art a total mess, probably due to lack of ID3 tagging)
Inability to change multiple tracks tags
No flexible/editable get album info queries (only looks at iTunes store)
Lack of add-ons to fix the holes (and I have seen some of the proposed add-ins like Dougs AppleScripts, and am unimpressed)
I could go on and on
The bigger problem is that a Mac doesn't really work unless you use iTunes. It seems all Apple solutions demand iTunes. So, I can't have an iPhone, no iPad, no AppleTV, no FrontRow, no use of music in iMovie or iPhoto, etc. But using iTunes means I lose 20% of my music (non-MP3 files), can't synchronize freely, can't share freely (I have kids with numerous devices), no lyrics, no add-ons with external artist links (youTube, upcoming concerts, etc.) and have a drastically reduced user interface experience (without peronalization options).
It is now almost 1 year since I got my latest Mac. After 6 months of face-palming, the arrival of Microsoft Office 2011 finally meant I could use the Mac at work (finally a working email client that can send more than 1 attachment in MS exchange environments), and there it has stayed. I don't have a massive collection (20,000+ tracks), but the inability to manage music is a show-stopper for home use of a Mac.

Your correct for this forum is for using iTunes and other Apple products.
Anyone changing from one platform, especially using proprietary formatted data, is going to have issues when you completely change operating systems. The Mac OS has been a leader in the fact that it includes and supports more international standards than any other OS. At times it may seem like the Mac OS is inflexible, but it is trying to get you to stick to standard, which in many cases you can completely ignore.
Maybe the Mac OS isn't for everyone, especially someone who wishes to have an active role in everything that happens on their system and devices.
Myself, I can't see manually moving songs on my system and on/off my devices. I simply let iTunes playlists and smartlists do that for me, all while making sure I still keep free space on my devices. The recent announcement of the new, and free, iCloud service and it's integration with Lion (10.7) is designed to make syncing and updating even more hands off for users. For me and most of my customers, this is very exciting.
While there are some limitations that you mention that are true, (M3U, ID3 and loss of track data -only because of a non universal fixed standard for this data), most of your complaints are only partially true, if not completely wrong. Without spending an hour replying to all of them, I'll pick one, iCal.
My iCal (and Calendar on my iOS devices) tracks/syncs with 14 different calendars. Of these only 4 are created within iCal (one being ToDo). 4 come from 3rd party applications on my computer. 1 is Birthdays that are automatically imported from my Address Book. 5 are free subscriptions from 3rd parties that include Holiday, Seasonal as well as solar/lunar data, my favorite NHL team schedule and my Facebook Events. I also subscribe to my local Apple Store events as well. At my last workplace we use Google's software for all of our email and scheduling. I used 2 different calendars that we synced within iCal and my iOS devices. That is synced, not subscribed, as I was able to make new appointments and change existing ones from all of my devices just like any other calendar that I have control of.
I suggest you ask for help in what you need in converting in your OS switch, or attend one of the free workshops at an Apple Retail Store, or check out the tutorial videos that are here in the Support section of Apple.com. You don't need to drink any Apple Koolaid, but rather be open to a different way of doing things.
Why does what I say matter? Maybe it doesn't. I'm just a all MacOS/iOS user who switched years ago, but is the person that thousands of MacOS, iOS, Win 95- Win 7, Blackberry and Android users go to for help, with their over 600 systems for close to a decade. Yes, we used MS Exchange servers and send more than 1 attachment at a time as well.

Thanks John. I have tried solutions 1 to 3 from (-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.h tml) and they do not work. So I presume that all I can do is to remove all 25 CC applications and start again!
Incidently, ( http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ ) does not list Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 as an update even though Adobe have announced that it is available (http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/04/camera-raw-8-4-and-dng-converter-8-4-now-a vailable.html). The same applies for Adobe Premiere Pro 7.2.2 (http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2014/04/premiere-pro-cc-7-2-2.html). If they are not available this would explain why I cannot download them but I am very suprised that Adobe didn't mention this when I contacted them.
Anyway thanks again

Special access - how do you get it?

I just advised somebody to post here, but they replied that they got the following message:

However, I can post there, as can many other non-mods/nonFAs/non-TUs.

Its possible for mods and admins to post new topics in that forum, but anybody is supposed to be able to reply. Are you sure he was trying to post a reply to that topic and not a new topic in the announcements forum?

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

How do you invoke Edge Web Fonts?

Assuming this is available in this release, how to you bring up the Edge Web Fonts capability?

Hi Phil,
You should be able to trigger the code hints manually anywhere in the font-family value by pressing Ctrl+Space. It should also pop up automatically if you type "," followed by a space anywhere in the value. Are those approaches not working for your code? (If so, please post a snippet of your CSS here so we can investigate).

How do you use edge web font in Edge Reflow?

By default, I don't have a lot of fonts. It's just viewing a few of them.
How can you get the web font for Edge Reflow? Can you use font from fontbook?
Is there a way to download Edge Web Font?

Above: using Brandon Grotesque (web use font) does not display the correct font.
I'm using Typekit and have an internet connection. If I switch to a "desktop use" font, it shows up, so I'm guessing the "web use" only fonts won't show in Reflow. A little frustrating when you're trying to get an accurate preview/determine best font styling because of the back-and-forth workflow.
Above: using Source Sans Pro (desktop use font) does display the correct font.

Itunes match how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

In ITunes match how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1. I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match. After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
