Managing multiple choise for sound output

Hi
I am using external speakers for playing my music - either via direct plug in or via Airport Express.
I am using USB headset for Skype and iChat.
Today it is not possible for me to have my headset plugged in - ready to use
and at the same time listen to my music via my external speakers.
It is an either or - situation which is quite irritating
Is there any way to manage this in an easy way?

I purchased an inexpensive Bluetooth headset to use for Skype. I leave Skpye's preferences set in such a way that it defaults to my headset for both input and output. This allows me to use the internal speakers for audio.

  • How can I manage multiple iPads for different students?

    Problem: I need to manage multiple iPads for my students with special needs. I need to download different apps to different iPads and I'm not sure how to keep their apps separate but still keep ultimate control of the units (i.e. lock them from loading anything on the apps that we at the school district haven't approved).
    I need to be the only one doing updates, loading software, etc., and don't want to keep using my own personal iTunes account...any suggestions?

    If the presenter is using a computer and everyone else has an iPad this is very easy and free. Just use http://join.me and on the iPad just download their free app

  • How to manage multiple locations for Item (Management warehouse locations)

    Is there any way, with UDF and Formated Search, to manage multiple locations for Item in the same warehouse
    I must have several (at least 2) locations for the item in the Warehouse and that  i enter in goods receipt and have track of this location and search possibilities at sales order by item and WHS.
    read carefully and imagine how (Management warehouse locations)
    I added a user table '@Location' who linked to a user field 'U_Location in Item master data --> lnventory data line and an ather user field 'U_Location' in sales order
    I met the value of location in the table (list of locations for any warehouse), I select the location of each item while receiving merchandise in the user field of inventory data line (Item M data) and this value appears in the sales order 'U_Location' user field ( only the location value in the default warehouse for this Item)
    or
    create an user field 'location' in Good receipt PO to fill it while receiving merchandise that appears in the sales order to give possibility to find/select the location of the item at this order and in Item master data
    I think we will use all these tables and there is a relationship between all.
    @LOCATION
    PDN1
    OITM
    OITW
    OWHS
    RDR1
    a piece of code has been proposed, but it is not so simple
    SELECT T0.U_Location FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
    Thanks,
    Ouchen

    I believe you are talking about defining BIN's (locations) within a Warehouse.
    This is quite possible and has been explained / discussed on this Forum a few times in the past.  Though I am completely clear on how you would like to implement this I could give you some guidelines..
    Creating a @location UDT is correct to maintain list of warehouse locations
    UDF in Items - Warehouses (Item Master ..Inventory Data Tab..Rows)
    UDF in Marketing Document Rows (When you add a UDF here U_Location then this will available in all marketing documents, both AR and AP)
    You will define a location for an Item in the Item Master....
    In the GRPO..you can use FMS to list the location/s for the Item being received from the Item Master and the User can Select it.
    In the Sales Order, you can select the location from which the Item could be picked..
    Let me know if your process / ideas are different

  • System preferences in iMac for sound output shows only headphones. How do I change this to get sound through computer? Thanks.

    In sound System preferences on iMac  headphones is only option for sound output. How do I change this to get sound output through computer, as in a video etc. Thanks.

    There is a switch in the jack that may be stuck. Try plugging and unplugging a headset plug into the socket a few times.
    You might try dipping the headset plug into some pure alcohol, wiping it nearly dry, and repeating the process to clean/clear the socket.

  • Can't change device for sound output

    Hi,
    Hi I've a MBP 17 inch that is plugged in to an USB sound card.
    I usually just switched between the USB sound card and the internal speakers through the day, but for some reason that isn't working for me anymore.
    No matter what preference I pick from the Sound Preferes output devices list, the Mac plays its sound on whatever device it picked as default -- for example, if I boot it without the USB audio card plugged in, it plays on the internal speakers; if I reboot it with the USB plugged in, it plays sound to the USB card.
    So the actually problem is in switching between the devices.
    I couldn't link this to anything abnormal, just started out of nowhere.
    Any ideas? Any preference files I can delete or re-setup?
    From the Console application, this is what I get when I try to change devices:
    2/2/10 8:05:25 AM System Preferences[477] Error who? trying to set sOut device to 262
    Thanks in advance.

    I wasn't familiar with that app; I just tried it, and got the same problems.
    It won't let me change the sound output.

  • Messages won't connect to bluetooth headset for sound output

    I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device. I got it so I could switch back and forth from my phone to my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) easily. It works great everywhere. EXCEPT, it won't work for Messages sound output. I've talked with three different Apple support people and with Plantronics. I tried a workaround I found elsewhere using Soundflower, but that did not work either. I've checked all settings, unpaired/repaired, shut down/rebooted/reset; looked for software issues; downloaded the current firmware; tried turning bluetooth off my phone to see if that was an issue; and probably some other things I'm forgetting; all to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Following up on the above...
    My S10-HD paired straight out of the box w/ my iPod Touch 2G; however, when I tried to pair it with my iPad 2, the iPad 2 would just search...and search...and search.
    On page 7 of the S10-HD manual, you'll see a note saying, "To pair your headphones again, press and hold the "0" (power) key until the status light becomes steadily lit in blue".
    This proved to be the key to getting the S10-HD to work with the iPad 2. The S10-HD needs to be "off", then you'll have to press and hold for around 7 to 10 seconds.
    Furthermore, it appears (from my own testing; your results may differ) that the S10-HD can only be paired to one device at a time. That may sound obvious, but what it means is that you'll first have to turn off Bluetooth on the paired device with which the S10-HD is currently connected, then connect it to the other device with which it is already paired. (Kind of a pain, but I can live with it.)
    Also, if there's anyone considering the S9-HD or who's had an S9-HD fail because of sweat incursion (i.e., you use it at the gym, etc.), Motorola is offering a warranty upgrade from the S9-HD to the S10-HD. What you need to know is: (1) The S9-HD will fail from the least bit of sweat entering the unit through the speakers; and (2) The S9-HD sounds better than the S10-HD (a lot better...it's a tradeoff you have to be willing to live with if you want these for exercise). To get the S10-HD if you've experienced prob's w/ your S9-HD as described, call Julie Scofield in the Consumer Advocacy Office at Motorola's Corporate Headquarters: (847) 523-5852.

  • Device for sound output changing randomly

    After the latest OS update, I've been having issues with my sound output settings. My sound will play most the time through the "line out" setting, but then randomly the "sound effects" will play thru the internal speakers. I keep changing the setting in the "sound" panel of system prefs but it keeps changing randomly on me. I've saved the setting and rebooted and thought it would be fine, but it keeps doing it. Once my Sound Output setting were changed too, and my music just started playing thru the internal speaker.
    Anyone know what's up with this, and what could correct the problem?

    It may sound silly, but from my own experience (having had exactly the same problem while working on a soundtrack) after snooping around I found that the plug/cable I was using (a cheapo cable) was somehow the guilty party.
    It fit snugly, no wobble, no crackling, changed the cable and all problems went away.
    Same cable works 100% now used to hook up the iPhone to the mixer.
    Seems to make no sense, and yet... voodoo (or a badly soldered plug).

  • IPhone4 Dock Connector Not Showing As Option For Sound Output

    Hey All,
    I'm using an iPhone 4 Dock Connector to output sound (via 3.5 mm cable) to a stereo.  This has been working for over 5 months, but all of a sudden it doesn't show up as an option for output from the AirPlay button.
    I tried a friend's 4S and it worked for him.  I also cleaned out the pin connector area on the iPhone as there was a small amount of lint in there (from being in my pocket), but that didn't fix the problem either.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.
    Thanks!

  • Managing multiple libraries for multiple family members

    I have four family members with multiple iTune libraries, including two that need to be age appropriate for our children. To add to this burden, we now have an iPad as well. How do I best manage these libraries, minimizing duplicate purchases, enabling each to have store accounts for gift card purchases, and sync each iPod simply for those not familiar with the apple software? Can I merge our libraries, create different users with their songs and accounts for purchases and syncing logins? We have two operating systems in the home, mac and pc? Argh, this is cumbersome, my library has over 4000 items, other family members have much smaller libraries, but would like their own individual libraries. Should I merge and make separate playlists for each user? If so, how can I incorporate my own vast library of playlists already created?
    Help me please, any suggestions?
    Rob Mc

    There are 3 options. See this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
    My advice is to use option #1 and have each user with a separate windows userID. They can each keep their own itunes library database file with ratings, play counts, playlists.
    Have all the library content in a public folder to avoid filling the PC's hard drive with duplicates.
    You can use a 3rd-party utility program like iTunes Folder Watch to update all the libraries when new content gets added.
    Method #2 is easiest, but then ratings and play counts will not be separated. Also, they have to remember to log out of the itunes store and log in with their own ID when making purchases. Something to watch for when kids are involved with their own gift cards....this is not a problem with method #1.
    Method #3 seems to give a lot of people grief because all users MUST use a shift-start of itunes to choose their own library. Woe has fallen on many who have tried this method.
    As for using both Mac & PC, itunes & ipods are designed to only sync with one PC. There is a way around that, but you either have to do a lot of manual backing up and copying, or buy something like TuneRanger.

  • Xtra for sound output of director movie

    Dear all,
    I have developed a director movie 10 years ago, which mixes
    various soundfiles into a continous sound which could be listened
    to and which at that time was to be recorded by a tape recorder
    connected to the computer.
    Now I am asked how one could save the output of my director
    movie into a soundfile; .wav, .aif or .mp3 - so that one is able to
    bring it onto a CD-ROM.
    Do you know an XTRA for that?
    At the moment I am giving advice to use the "N°23
    Recorder" - nicely working but a little too much trouble for my
    customers. (Only one or two a month - which means I can't put too
    much money and work into the old project.)
    Any advice is welcome
    Yours sincerely
    Moritz Boerner

    It's not clear what your source is, but in general the Audio
    Xtra should
    be able to record whatever you can hear.
    Check the docs for: axRecordSoundToFile(),
    axSetEnvironmentInfo("inputDevice", device),
    axSetEnvironmentInfo("inputSource", source), etc.

  • Multiple conditions for PO output

    Hi Folks,
    We'd like to have a multiple conditions set for a PO printing.
    First to set up for FAX.
    Next also to set up for Print
    In the normal mode, only a single condition can be set up. i.e. for a given output type you can set say for FAX, then you won't  be able to set another condition.
    I know that you can make a 'new' output type and then set printing condition too in addition to FAX.
    Any other recommendations/ suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hello folks,
    Any directions/ thoughts to proceed?
    Thanks.

  • MacBook Air: automatic selection of USB headsets for sound output

    Is there a way to let the MacBook Air automatically detect an external USB headset,
    and switch from internal speakers to the USB headset, and reverse to speakers when the
    USB headset is disconnected ?
    It's nice that you can manually select the output in System Preferences / Sound,
    but it would be nice also to be able to make the computer use the USB headset
    whenever it's plugged in.
    Same for the microphone (sound input selection, for USB headsets with a microphone).

    USB hub works fine on my 23 Cinema display with the Air, haven't tried the others but I use the USB on display to plug in my mobile broadband ( live out in the sticks and don't get cable or DSL ) and it lets me switch between my Air and MB Pro fine.

  • How do I manage multiple devices for multiple people?

    I have an iPad and iPhone. Both of my sons (7 & 9) have an iPod touch. What is the best way to manage our accounts so that hey can't purchase things on my credit card or see my email etc., but, allow them to have access to some items that I purchase?

    Open itunes, connect one ipod, select what that person wants, sync.
    Do the same for each ipod.
    Each will ONLY swync what the user of that device chooses to sync.

  • Managing Multiple iPads for Education System

    What is the best solution to managing (charging, purchasing/installing apps, updates, etc) a set of 80-100 iPads?  This is for a school system where the schools are located throughout the state at approximately 27 different sites.

    Probably the easiest way is to setup one iPad with apps back it up with iTunes
    And restore to the others
    Since you don't have a mdm solution like osx servers profile manager
    Apple Configurator use it to install as many settings as you can via profiles
    It will speed up the configuration less time spent tapping away on each device
    Here is a free hosted mdm
    http://www.meraki.com/products/systems-manager/
    Find my iPhone use can use the same iTunes account, I think the limit is 200 devices
    If you restore from backup passwords are not restored you'd have to re enter them
    Every iPad needs an indervidual ID not an indervidual iTunes account for find my iPhone
    Eg iPad-1 iPad-2 etc
    Check iCloud settings or you could have all devices reading each others calendar
    Consider enabling restrictions here you can stop users adding email accounts
    Changing find my iPhone etc

  • Printing multiple forms for one output types.

    Hi,
