I have a question about airplay multiple speakers in Mountain lion

I seem to be unable to use the "multiple speakers" feature in iTunes now that I've upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Before, I was able to stream music from my iTunes to two airport expresses throughout the house, simultaneoulsy with the computer's speakers.  Now it seems I can't. 
When I select "multiple speakers" and click on the appropriate airport express, I get a dialog box that says "Connecting to Airport Express", which gives up after about 45 seconds of trying to connect. 
Here are the things I've tried:
1. In System Preferences, I've changed the audio output from computer to the airport express, which successfully sent the audio to the airport express.  But the system preferences audio tab just lets you select a single output destination, not multiple.  So I know that the speaker works, and that OSX still "likes" it.
2. There has been mention on various boards that my computer no longer has the system requirements for this feature.  I want to know if that that's true.  (Full description of system below)
3. I've used the trial of airfoil, which works beautifully, exactly what I want it to do.  But it costs $30, and I'd rather the pretty new operating system I just bought would work!
4.  Another clue might be from the airport utility app.  It claims that my airport expresses are no longer supported by airport utility 6.1, and that I should downgrade to airport utility 5.6 to manage those expresses.  Unfortunately, mountain lion is not compatible with airport utility 5.6, so that's a dead end.  I'm not even sure that the answer lies with the airport utility app, because the system can still stream to the expresses, just one at a time.
Any thoughts?

    I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

    I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files.  It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name.  Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

    I don't use that app. I just go to the web based site. You can share videos from the site, but not from the app, as far as I have been able to do. Try the web based version and see if you get the same error. Go through Safari is what I mean.

  • I have a question about japan new depriciation engine using non-japanese chart of deprication

    Hi, all
    I have a question about link between new depriciation engine and chart of depriciation.
    My client want to use US chart of depriciation as standard chart of depriciation becuase it has already standard setting like IAS deprication keys.
    it means I have to create Japanese chart of depriciation by copying from US chart of depriciation(non-japanese sample(0JP))
    I have a little doubt about it. In my previous project, I copyed chart of depriciation by copy from Japan sample Chart of depriciation(0JP) stored in SAP.
    Is it possible to copy from non-japan sample charg of depriciation to using Japanese new depriciation engine? I worried some errors will occrues if I do not use sample chart of depriciation(0JP) .
    If I need to use sample Japanese chart of depriciation, please give me the idea why I need to use Japanese sample chart of depriciation. I want to know the examples of non-Japanese asset accouting consultants who have working experience in the area.
    Thank you.

    Hi, Narasimhulu
    Thank you for your support.
    My client use one COA to all over the world. And not only Japan, other country aslo use the COD which is copied from that of US. Basic reporting line is for USGAP. I will customize 2 depriciation ares, one for US GAP and another is JGAP. No need to create TAX realted customize.  It means it enought only adding Japanese new depriciation keys to Current US COD. No need to add more Japanese local requirements.
    In this case, I want to know follwoing point.
    I know COD controll depriciation keys, but I want to know more detail about COD, what kinds of controls COD do. What is Japanese local requirements. Why better to use COPY of JP COD.
    Thank you.

    Hello guys, I have a question about Preview - How do you loop a slideshow?

    Had the "loop" feature using Preview in 10.4.11; upgaded to 10.5.8 and it's gone. Don't you have to work at "Taking" it away? Makes no sense. Now you have to look for a third market for something that was included in Preview since the first version was launched.  ....I don't get this one.
