How to control volume in multi-room setup, with different tunes in each room?

Hi,
I'm thinking of replacing my Squeezebox / SqueezeServer setup and have therefore bought two Apple TV's to experiment with.
I have a Windows Home Server on which I've installed iTunes 10.5 yesterday and I can (through RDC) use it to share music to the Apple TVs and even control the volume.
However, playing music this way is by no means what I was hoping for - I want to be able to play DIFFERENT tunes in DIFFERENT rooms.
Yes, that is possible through the use of my iPhone, using Remote to choose the iTunes server (the real server in this case).
But, and here's my issue - when playing different tunes in different rooms (using the Remote app connected to my iTunes server), how do I control the VOLUME for each Apple TV? Or should I play the different tunes for different rooms in a different way?
Kind regards
Niclas

Thanks!
Yes I hope they develop either the Apple TV or Airport express or iTunes or all into a complete multi room music listening experience just like the Squeezebox / Sonos product range. They certainly have the possibility and they did try. Except they didn't make it all the way. It's fine to be able to play the same music in all rooms, but better still would be if I could play different music in different rooms AND change the volume without the need of an additional display or anything. The nice thing would be to have an airport express connected to a small amp with in-ceiling mounted speakers in e.g. the bathroom, the kids room etc. And the kids then control their own music, the bathroom has some rain forest sounds, but when I enter it, I change to the party music I was listening to in the living room, so as to get in the mood for tonights party... And when I'm ready in the bathroom, I switch back to the rain forest sound and one of the kids are so annoyed with the pumping bass from his brothers room, that he syncs to the same music, all the while I go into the kitchen and sync the kitchen with the living room and turn up the knob another notch or two.
This is the way my house works now and I can really see it work like that with Apples products, except they haven't done it all the way yet then. Too bad - I have only used the Apple TV's two days and started to like them.

Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here. You can see the thread relating to this post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
The problem: The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used. As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem. Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used. The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%). <o:p></o:p>
If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional. Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it. Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
happening on my system. http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc. I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side. All are connected through 1 Nvidia
GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
thanks<o:p></o:p>

Hi Jon,
I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply.
In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists.
Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

How can we achive active/active cluster setup with Oracle

Hi Experts,
How can we achieve active/active database setup with oracle WITHOUT USING RAC.. As far as I know it's impossible (unless I'm wrong)..
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.1 64bit on Windows 2008 server. We deployed Oracle FailSafe but that's more of an active/passive solution based on a windows cluster.
The other solution we were thinking about is to use DataGuard and replication.. two servers.. the oracle instance running on one server generating logs, and the other server receive the logs and apply them to the physical standby db.. Still, this is not a real active/active setup.
So, is it possible to run 2 servers in an active/active cluster and have the oracle database in an active/active setup or have the instance running on multiple nodes (at the same time)?
Thanks

Let me give you a brief explanation of what the situation is and you can be the judge..
My client have four databases with the smallest one being 20GB and the biggest around the 35gb (SGA 750mb to 1.4gb (Tiny by DB standards) and probably on a normal day, you can run all four of them on a decent desktop).. The DBs are used to keep track of people information. Through out the year, the databases are almost sitting idle, and by idle I mean, the odd update here and there, the odd report..etc. No hard real processing of any sort. Two days of the year (end of year) we have all the operators consolidating records and what's not and they will be pounding away entering data and updating the tables - with hourly reports that goes to 3rd parties. The client expects a 99.99 up time and availability during those 2 days.
Now, tell me, How can I justify using RAC and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing and what ever extra costs introduced by the complexity of the environment for the above scenario knowing that I don't have any real use for RAC for 363 days of the year; and we MIGHT need it for 2 days of the year? This is the dilemma we're facing.
Thanks

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?

Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10. Does any have any idea?
Thanks

Moreover, the two monitors can have completely different characteristics. As always, you really need to calibrate/profile any monitor (with a hardware tool - Spyder, Colormunki etc). That's no more important with two monitors, but you see for sure if you don't, as two dissimilar monitors will then probably look different.

How to find users who are running IE with different credentials ?
Is there any tool or a solution in the market will help or a i can use GPO or even Power Shell ?

Hi Salman,
Based on your description, we can use Windows Credential Manager to check this. Windows Credential Manager stores credentials, such as user names and passwords that we use to log on to websites or other computers on a network.
Regarding Credential Manager, the following article can be referred to for more information.

How to do consolidation using two chart accounts with different currencies

Hi
How to do consolidation using two chart accounts with different currencies and do we need to use same fiscal year variant ?
What would be the impossible factors when we use two company codes with two chart of accounts ...
Regards
Kesharika

Good Afternoon
You need to use translationa and/or valuation
translation takes account in foreign currency and translates to group currency
valuation takes account in currency 1 and restates into currency 2 for a company with currency 2
so depends on which company you are consolidating for, a company in a foreign currency in that currency or consolidating a compnay in foreign currency to parent company in another currency

NB520, NB550D - how to control volume at Sleep and Music state?

I'm looking for a possibility to control volume at Sleep and Music state...
The only fact I've noticed is that volume depends on the level set when the computer was working. But how can I change it at Sleep and Music state when the comp is swich off?

Hi TomPL,
I have checked the user manual and found the following information:
The volume adjustment and mute setting might be different between Windows mode and Sleep and Music mode. Before connecting the audio device to the computer, turn down the volume of the audio device. Sound quality may also be different.
So according this information you have to set the volume in Windows but it could be a little bit different. I found no information about changing the volume in sleep and music mode.

If you dont want allow create a sales order in referent to other one, just delete the copy control between these sales order type, so when the user tries to create a SO in reference to other one a message is displayed that is not possible.
Thanks,

How to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds?

I want to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds to make them look as if the paintings are hanged on the room walls. I know how to do it one by one, but that takes time and I want to do it in batch at once.
I am quite a beginner for adobe photoshop CS6. I belive such an automated task is possible through 'Automated Batch' function and/or 'Create Droplet' function. Kindly share your expert opinion.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.
