Is there a way to have Firefox respect the default audio output device when it has been changed while Firefox is open?

I have been a Firefox user for many years and I still use it as my primary browser. One problem that has bothered me for years is the fact that when Firefox is open and I change my default audio output device, Firefox doesn't respect that change and continues playing audio through the device that was originally being used. Even if you stop the audio and continue playing, the output device doesn't change.
Is there any way this can be configured in Firefox? Now if I listen to music online (e.g. Soundcloud) I always use Chrome since it's respects the default audio output device change even while in the middle of playing audio.
Reproduce:
1. Start playing audio (e.g. from a YouTube video; HTML5 and Flash are affected)
2. Change your default audio output device
3. Audio will continue to play from original output device
Thanks!

This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

I have a Airport Express I use primarily for AirPlay with my iPhone 4 (iOS6.1.3). Is there a way to set AirPlay as the default audio when connected to wifi?

At the moment, when I re-connect to wifi (come home), I must select AirPlay as the desired audio.
I know this is managble, but it would work a lot more easily if it was possible to select a default for AirPlay, or iPhone.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?
We've got a bevy of test phones here and I've been able to see RSS feeds in an Exchange setup using Android (along with other folders) but no Lists that were hooked up using "Connect to Outlook" button from SharePoint.

Hi,
You are viewing Mobile view of the site into your phone. If you open the same site in normal PC view i.e. the same look which you have in your computer then it will give you an option to connect to outlook.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion but clicking on 'Connect to Outlook' from various phones doesn't seem to work. "This webpage is not available." -- I didn't really expect it to do anything as I think this was meant to be done on a computer. And then
the result is that the documents would be available in Outlook.
And then, my question kicks in: is it possible to see these files that are now in Outlook on a phone that's connected to the Exchange Server.

Lightroom is not saving metadata. I have done several things to save and I still get the tag that states is is not saved. I have also created 2 smart collections. One showing metadata has been changed and one showing metadata is not up to date. No matter what I do it is not showing in LR that it is saved. I spent 2 days with Seth Resnick trying to correct this and we re created my catalog. It was ok, until I imported new images and same problem. Now I have a new problem, when I bring image to PS it saves it but does not bring back to LR. Am I the only one out there who has this problem?

you will have to wait until you can try again,
i believe the only way if you don't know the passcode is to factory reset through itunes which you will lose everything from your phone if it hasn't been backed up

Is there a way to have Adobe Acrobat reader default to a higher version?

Hi,
We've pin-pointed the cause of an issue where in MS Excel we hyperlink a PDF file & our user is using Adobe Acrobat v7 & when the user clicks on it. The PDF pops up & just disappears.
I've located the fix for it on MS Discussion Forums below:
If you have version 7, you need to upgrade to version 7.0.8 to get a fix for this bug in Acrobat.
But what we need to know is, if they have Adobe V7 installed, we can install v8 for them. But is there a way of having V8 set as a default reader?
This may sound like a stupid question but my work colleague wanted me to ask.
Thanks,
PS

It's not recommended nor supported to have both installed unless you're running Macs.
Not being able to choose a default version is just one of the many issues.

Is there any way to have a slide advance on it's own when there is buttons on the screen?

I am wondering if there is a way to have a slide automatically advance when there is buttons on the slide, I would like the eLearning course I am creating to just auto play through all the slides.
Thanks in advance!

What are the buttons doing? Just delete their pausing point and when they reach the end of the slide, and the Exit action is set to Continue or Go to Next slide, everything will play on.

Is there a way to have pages on the iPad automatically update changes to dropbox?

So I got pages, numbers, and keynote for the iPad and I keep all my documents backed up to Dropbox so I was really excited to see that you could save anything created in pages to Dropbox.
However when I go back and change the document it doesnt update in Dropbox. Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks

Is there any way to see more than the latest three back ups when restoring from iCloud?

I have had my phone set as icloud back up only for a couple months now and it had been backing up fine. But my wifi shut down on the phone and I couldn't back it up via iCloud. (I thought) I backed it up through my computer before taking the phone to the Genius Bar but it didn't work for some reason. And now I lost all my photos that were taken between the time that I had the wifi and when I got the phone replaced. However, I backed up the new phone via iCloud afterwards, with the phone restored to the time before i switched to iCloud backup. And I'm not a 100% sure but I'm sure it's backed up more than 3 times since I got the phone replaced. Is there any way to pick from the past iCloud backups, further back than the latest three?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't believe you can see more than three, unfortunately.

Is there a way to stop iTunes make the default location?

Hello!
I have iTunes on external drive and I am getting tired of iTunes automatically change the location without notice if the external drive is not connected. I have many podcasts that is downloaded and it gives me headache and frustration when I too late see that it is downloading to the local drive instead of external drive. Is there any way to edit a text file in preferences or to make iTunes make a question first if I WANT to change the location or give a warning that it can not connect so I have time to correct it before it starts? For a programmers point of view this little utility would not be so difficult to implement right? That would help a looot to have this warning before the application starts.
Anyone here tried to find a solution or has a better suggestion?
Thanks

Sorry, there is no way to prevent iTunes from defaulting back to the location on the internal drive if your external drive is not connected. You can offer suggestions to Apple on this issue here:

Do I have to use the same Audio Output and Input source???

In logic express 7.2.3 I can get everything to work fine except when I want to set my sound output to be different than the input device.
I want the Audio Input to be : "Roland USB device"
I want the Audio Output to be "Built in Output"
This works perfectly in Garage Band but not in LogicExpress 7.
As far as I can tell core audio in Logic only gives you the option to use the same device for input and ouput. This makes it impossible for me to record guitar or bass parts in Logic because in order to hear anything in Logic I have to set my systems sounds prefs to use my USB device for both Audio In and Out. This means the guitar is playing through my speakers regardless if LE7 is running or not... and when it is running I hear the guitar at speaker level which means I can't hear it at mix level or any of the effects that may be applied to it.
Help please!
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks... I did that but and it works (sort of ) but now there is a HUGE amount of latency. The audio also starts to crackle after a while. I know this input device is a few years old and the latency could be better but it works completely fine with Garage Band so I'm not sure what to do.

Is there a way to have OSX ignore the input from the laptop keyboard when an external one is attached?

My cat tends to try to lie across my laptop keyboard, but I use the external bluetooth one would love it if there was a software program that would notice the exernal one and turn off the internal one.

Not officially. You'll have to check Google or the Mac App Store and see if there are any apps that do that.

Is there a way to have iTunes play the first song in a playlist & then stop

We're using iTunes to play backing tracks in a show. We are using a vpedal through the USB for play and pause. We would like to be able to hit the pedal to play the first track and then have it stop ( NOT automatically play the second track). Then we could just hit the pedal to play each subsequent track. Thanks for your help

Michael - thank you so much for your effort to help me with this question. I have tried what you have suggested and it does exactly what you say it will do but does not solve the issue. Let me explain what needs to happen a little better: The playlist of backing tracks has 4 songs. The Vpedal is a third party programable device that will activate play/pause in iTunes. I will have no access (nor will anyone else) to the computer while I am in character during this part of the performance. I introduce the piece and step on the vpedal and the first song plays. If I don't hit it again, each subsequent track will play automatically - this is bad because applause, etc. makes the time between songs variable. So, currently I have to step on the pedal at the end of song #1 to pause it and then when ready for song #2 step on it again to play. The same process for end of song #2 (pause), start of song #3 (play), end of song #3 (pause) and start of song #4 (play). This works but the problem with it is I must be very precise when to pause - wait a second too late and then next song will begin. So, it would be far preferable if iTunes only needed me to press the pedal to play and the program would pause automatically at the end of each song but be ready to play the next song when I hit the pedal. Hope this makes it clearer.
Any other thoughts? Again, thanks.

How can Firefox Nightly (V. 22.0a1) Global Menu Bar be disabled in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (When it has been disabled in FireFox Stable (19.0) and Unity (5.18.0))

I have tried various methods of removing the Global Menu Bar from both unity and Firefox before, but they seem to have no bearing on the Firefox Nightly version.
1. Nightly doesn't have the "Global Menu Bar Integration" addon by default.
2. "sudo apt-get remove firefox-globalmenu" does not effect Nightly.
3. trying "sudo apt-get install appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt" and then "sudo apt-get autoremove etc..." for unity doesn't effect Nightly.
4. Menu editor addons don't target this problem.
5. All searchable online help relates to re-inabling the global bar due to earlier Nightly version bugs.
6. It doesn't matter what graphics hardware is used, the results are still the same.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but on hi-res screens this is more than just annoying to always be running back up to the top bar.
