How to release audio when another account has control?

Sometimes I find that there's no audio available when I log in. Invariably, I find it's because another account on the machine has tied up the audio (e.g. if flash player is running with audio in Safari).
That account is dormant, but still it blocks audio from working in the account I'm in.
Everything comes right if I log that user out, but then I get complaints later of their apps and work being all shut down when they come back. So I shouldn't have to do this. Doing it is a nuisance for me, too, since there seems to be no good interface to check what each user is running and log them out from within my account. (I wish there were an administrators' account manager that looked a bit like ARD for this.)
How do I get audio to work for the account that's active, without forcibly logging other users out?

Hi sinious,
Thanks for your valuable reply. I tried to do the same as you suggested. But It simply plays the voice over as a stream regardless of the slides.
Meant before finish to display 1st slide the 2nd voice over starts playing. By the time of displaying 10th slide it plays 15th slides voice over. This doesn't solve the purpose.
One more point I want to add in, that is I have all the voice over for 20 slides placed in one layer and all slides are placed in one layer at certain intervals.
Please educate me with some other solutions.
Thanks in advance.

  • How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone

    How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone. I know how to check purchases but I am looking for how to check when an app had been re-downloaded on my device whether it's through my device or Apple ID

    You mention "lack of control" several times.  The control is there - you control the Apple ID and password that owns the app.  No other Apple ID can use the app.  You have not shared your Apple ID or password with anyone, so you and only you own the app.
    Therefore, the number of times the app is downloaded or re-downloaded is completely irrelevant.  You might, for example, decide to purchase a new iPhone or iPad and download the app there.  Or the app developer may issue a new version which you download.  None of this matters regarding your "control" of the app.  All that matters is that you own it and nobody else can use it.

  • HP "another program has control of the device" Scanning Issue on Mac OSX 10.8.5

    I am running an HP C7200 series all-in-one on a Mac OSX 10.8.5 system. Everything has worked fine for years. Suddenly when I got to fax using HP Scan I get the following message: The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device. This may be the result of a recent Mac update, but I'm not sure. I have tried many solutions from forums, including: restarting the program, restarting the printer while holding down the OK and Help keys, and installing RC Default Apps 2.1 and disabling the bundle extension preference. I have not yet uninstalled and reinstalled my HP software because I'm afraid something else will get messed up. 
    Also, I can scan by doing the following tedious chore. Open up the Systems Preferences, click on Print & Fax, click on Scan, Click on Open Scanner, click on Show Details, then fill in the scanning details. It's a pain compared to opening up HP Scan and clicking on scan. I can also scan via Image Capture but it also doesn't offer some of the nice features of HP Scan.
    Any other solutions?

    Hello NgnRoom,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with not being able to fax.
    As you stated , this could be caused by a Mac update.
    I suggest that we do an uninstall of the software and drivers and then while the unit is uninstalled, we then reset the printing system.  Here is a link on How to reset the printing system.  Once the reset is complete, I also suggest we Repair disk permissions.
    The next step would be to reinstall the printer on to the Mac.  Here is the link for the HP Print Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • C7280 - Cannot scan. Error message says another program has control over the device

    I opened the HP Device Manager to do a scan. I accepted the settings and the scan started. But part way through the scan, I stopped the scan as I realized that I wanted to change the resolution. I quit the Device Manager  and restarted it but when I did, I got an error message saying:
    "The function you have requested cannot be performed because another program has control over the device".
    I don't have anything else open and so I can't work out what program has control over the printer.
    C7280 Prtinter. Mac OSX 10.7.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was thinking that if you stopped the process in mid-scan that there may be some background processes still running. Rebooting usually stops those processes.
    No, you will not have to do this each time.  Next time, though, it may be easier to just let the scan complete and the do another scan at whatever setting you want.

  • Can't scan-another program has control

    My HP Photosmart Studio program had suddenly stopped allowing me to scan from my Deskjet F4440. I get a message that, "The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging devise." I've performed the suggested fixes: restarted the program, closed all programs that might be using the device, and rebooted my computer. No luck. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Using iMac, OSX, v. 10.9.4

    Hi,
    The HP Photosmart Studio is a very old software which is intended for Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard), it is not intended for newer versions as Mavericks and issues are expected..
    Unplug the printer, from the Applications folder open the Hewlett-Packard folder and select Uninstall.
    Next install the software for Mavericks by following the steps below:

    Once you are done, follow these steps to scan on Mavericks:

  • How to refresh ViewObject from database when another user has changed data?

    Hello, I use oracle database server 9.0.2 and JDeveloper 9.0.3 and I am developing a JClient application. I have JTable which is bound to a certain view object based on one entity and this is shared between many users. If a user inserts or updates a row in the viewobject (using for example the table) and commits changes, another user can not see the the inserted row while the underlying viewobject executeQuery() call.
    What I need is to refresh data for all users if one of them inserts or updates date. Is it possible?
    What I was able to think of was to use timer and executeQuery in certain period of time. Is there any better way? I mean kind of event which is fired when underlaying data has been changed?
    Thank you in advance!

    So you're saying there is no way for a client application to receive notice from the database that a table has been updated? It seems like this would be a valuable feature, and in fact I could very much use such a feature right now.

  • How do you identify when a report has finished?

    Hi all,
    I've got a big report that is taking a while to run (approx 1min) and the problem I'm having is that my users are getting bored of waiting and starting to click around my web application and re-running the report because they think it has failed. The re-running of the report is causing more load on the system and the reports to run even slower. What I would like to do is stop them re-runnning the report maybe by somehow locking the web page until BI publisher has finished but I don't know how to get a message back from BI publisher.
    Currently I'm running the BI publisher report by having a button push which redirects the users web browser to a url such as:
    'http://'||:BI_PATH||'/xmlpserver'||:BI_DIRECTORY||'/Custom Reports/'||:p180_report||'/'||:p180_report||'.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&_xdo='||:BI_DIRECTORY||'%2FCustom%20Reports%2F'||:p180_report||'%2F'||:p180_report||'.xdo&_xt='||:p90_template||'&_xf=rtf&_xmode=4'
    And then as I'm returning an rtf doc the familiar save, open or cancel popup comes up. The problem is that before the popup appears they can re-click the run report button.
    One way round it I've thought of is to have the report generate to a file system and redirect the user to a waiting page that checks periodically for the files existance and then when it does exist forward the user to a page with a view report button. This sounds like a lot of effort, does anybody know of a better way?
    I've also wondered if running the report using webservices would be an option, is there a way of getting BI publisher to run a web service when a report has finished? This could then interact with my back end server and the web page could act on that, or am I totally barking up the wrong tree?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Darren.

    Hi Darren
    couple of ideas
    1. Rather than 'run' the report, get it to run through the scheduler immediately. Once its running through the scheduler you could then poll the scheduler tables to see when it completes. You could either redirect the users to a wait page or show an egg timer until the document has been created. this would require the document to be delivered to somewhere for you to poll as the URL will not return a job id.
    2. Bit more involved but probably better is to hook into BIPs web services. So rather than the button issue an http request it calls a servlet to issue a web service call to BIP to schedule a report. The WS will return the job id to the caller, you can then poll the scheduler via a ws to check the progress of the job. Once complete you can then retrieve the result form the scheduler tables via another call.
    Food for thought I hope

  • How do I know when my unlock has been processed?

    Hi all,
    Sorry for what's probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
    I have an AT&T iPhone 4S, and I recently called them to request an unlock.  Since it was on a business account while under contract, they had to submit a request directly to Apple instead of just using the web form.  However, they told me that they never received anything from Apple during the process that would indicate that I'll be notified once the request has been approved.  So from my understanding, completing the process on my end involves tethering to iTunes and restoring the phone - but how will I know when it's actually time for me to do that? 
    I should add: I am no longer with AT&T, or in touch with anyone else who is still on the account that I had been part of.  So if anyone else on that old account gets notified, I won't know.  And since I'm not with AT&T myself, I feel doubtful that they'd let me know.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How to find out when a file has been written to ?

    Hello All,
    In an application I want to open up a file (while letting another process write to it). As stuff is getting written to the file I want to be able to process that data (getting close to real-time as possible). How would one go about finding out when new data has been written to the file ? Does Java provide some alerting mechanism for file changes ? Thanks in advance...
    -Pete

    Maybe you could keep tabs of the file size. If the file size grows (which it will do each time the writing process flushes that files output buffer), then the file was written to.
    What I'd like to know is if there is some way to monitor the entire drive for changes and respond to stuff like that. I know that the Win32 API provides services that monitor the file system for changes, but I don't know if other OS's do... or if Java provides an interface to those features.

  • Kill audio when another plays

    Hi!
    How do I kill audio in a symbol when another symbol starts playing?
    I have a very simple setup with a series of symbols on my timeline.
    When you click one symbol it hides itself and shows the next symbol.
    I have audio for each symbol and cannot get it to stop when the next symbol / audio starts!
    i made a click action for each symbol - (there is def1, def2, def3, def4, def5)
    for example, on "def1", this is the click action:
    sym.$("def1").hide();
    sym.$("def1").stop(); //me trying to stop the sound completely
    sym.$("def2").show();
    var mySymbolObject = sym.getSymbol("def2");
    mySymbolObject.play();
    Everything is perfect except the sound from def1 still plays when def2 starts!
    Help would be great!
    ps (I can post files if needed. I know I can do an array, too, I just don't really know how...)

    If you are using animate audio then all you need to do is reset the audio like this:
    var music = sym.$("music")[0];
    music.pause();
    music.currentTime = 0;

  • How can you identify when a RP has a bootflash failure on CRS-1?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am hoping someone can assist me in identifying when a RP has a bootflash issue and requires RMA.  We have some CRS-1 running in our network with IOS XR 3.8.2 and some with 4.0.3.  All the commands that I am aware of do not identify when a RP has a problem in bootflash.  CCO recommends that if there is a problem with upgrade and you are moving to a code using filesystem fat 32 that you format the bootflash of the RP's.  It was at this point we started having issues.  We went into ROMMON and recieved the following error.
    rommon B1 > dir bootflash:disk0/hfr-os-mbi-4.0.3 Checksum failed on hfr-fslib-m
    Expected checksum: 6a53, calculated checksum: beba
    open: file "hfr-fslib-m" not found
    loadprog: error - on file open
    cannot load the monitor library "bootflash:%hfr-fslib-m" from device
    If someone has some insight on how we can validate the state of the RP outside of the typical command set:
    show redundancy summary
    show platform
    etc
    I'd appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Rashmi

    Hi,
    Provide some more information on your problem.
    If you want to check the directory contect try
    dir bootflash:
    is it displaying any output?
    In general above error doesn't indicate that there is any problem but it is not able to find particular directory or file.
