Possible to use both Front Row AND Media Central with same Apple Remote?

Dear Fellow Mac Users,
I have just got a copy of Media Central as i want to use it to view movie files with due to its great codec support. however due to its slightly sluggish and cumbersome design i'd like to continue to use front row for my itunes and dvd needs. whatsmore i'd like to be able to command both programs when i want them using my apple remote. is this possible?
Tim

Yes. I do this right now - mainly using Media Central, and switching to Front Row if I have .mkv files to watch.
What I do is since you hit "Menu" to load Front Row, I just went into MediaCentral's preferences and had "Play" launch MediaCentral. Once you are in one, it 'grabs' the remote commands, so you shouldn't have to worry about it loading the other program.

  • Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

    I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
    Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
    in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
    So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
           Internal users
                     |
                   443
                      |
              Internal LB
            192.168.0.20
            443         443
              |               |
       Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
    192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
              |               |
          4443        4443
              External LB
           Public IP Address
                     |
                  443
                     |
           External Users
    This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
    is the keyword here.
    After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
    adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
    Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
    For reference, my commands are:
    Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
    (This completes successfully)
    Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
    (This fails)
    The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
    Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
    LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
    LocalPort : 4443
    Name : HTTPS-Ext
    Port : 443
    Protocol : tcp
    Vip :
    ProbePath :
    ProbePort : 4443
    ProbeProtocol : tcp
    ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
    ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
    EnableDirectServerReturn : False
    Acl : {}
    InternalLoadBalancerName :
    IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
    LoadBalancerDistribution :
    The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
    shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
    Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

    Hello Massimo Pascucci,
    The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
    known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
    There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

  • Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?

    I gave up on iPhoto 6 when it comes to publishing web galleries (see my posts at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=456532&tstart=0 )
    Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?
    Thanks!

    Lior:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can but it takes a lot of caution! You can have both application running their own library. But the problem comes in when you launch V5 into the last used library, a V6 library, and it can corrupt that library so it won't open in V6 again. Conversely, if you open V6 and the V5 library was the last to be opened and you don't pay attention, you'll convert it to a V6 and lose the V5 access.
    So you have to make sure you ALWAYS launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and manually select the library to use each time. Also Name each library differently. I use V6 LIbrary and V5 Library. You can rename your current one and then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and navigate to it to open it.

    i want to use the both ojdbc14.jar and ojdbc6.jar in same domain.
    what i previously did was renaming /usr/weblogic/wls_server10.3.4/lib/ojdbc6.jar to /usr/weblogic/wls_server10.3.4/lib/ojdbc6.jar.bak and put ojdbc14.jar in the same path when i wanna use ojdbc14.jar.
    i haven't use both in same environment before, but to go live i wanna match about requirement.pls help.
    i know the way use this by having two domains, but in the same domain i could not find a solution yet.

  • Possible to use both a PrintWriter and BufferedOutputStream?

    I have made a PrintWriter and BufferedOutputStream on the same socket that my client uses to connect to the server. I start by sending some string with the PrintWriter followed by some bytes with the BufferedOutputStream.
    I does not work, so I would like to know if its not possible to connect these to out channels to the same socket.

    On the Client side (the PrintWriter's second argument is true so it should autoflush):
    out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
                        String s = "sally";
                        byte[]sb = s.getBytes();
                        int len1 = sb.length;
                        out.println(len1 + "");
                       outBytes = new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
                       outBytes.write(sb, 0, len1);
                       outBytes.flush();on the serverside:
                  in = new BufferedReader(
                            new InputStreamReader(
                            socket.getInputStream()));
    inBytes = new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
                       int len1 = Integer.valueOf(in.readLine()).intValue();           
                        byte[] clientPub = new byte[len1];    
                        System.out.println("test");
                       inBytes.read(clientPub, 0, len1);
                            System.out.println("test22");test22 never gets printed so it must be inBytes.read(clientPub, 0, len1); that is blocking. But the out on the client should autoflush and I have also tried out.flush() but it does not help.

  • Front row and itunes turning on when apple tv begins

    Why does my computer itunes and front row always turn on my computer when I start watching my apple tv?  They play two different things.  I start watching the apple tv and then my computer will start blaring my itunes library or will start a movie using front row.  How do I stop this from happening?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your remote is controlling both devices.
    If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System_Preferences/Security/General)
    If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
    To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

  • Is it possible to use both inputs of my AudioBox at the same time?

    I was having issues last night, and I wanted to poll the community before I declared my device deffective.
    I have an AudioBox- USB and managed to hook it up to GB.  I tried both guitar and a microphone in Input 1 and they both worked.  I decided to try to have them both hooked up at the same time using both inputs, but I could not get GB to recognize anything from input 2.
    As a trouble shooting measure, I disconnected everything from input 1 and tried using input 2 on its own: still nothing.
    Questions:
    - Is there something I need to do in GB for it to recognize audio for input 2?
    - Maybe GB cannot do this, and I need to use Logic/Mainstage (have not tried this yet)
    - If GB can do this (and should have done so automagically), is my device possibly deffective?

    Thanks very much

    No Amanda,
    we cannot simultaneously configure both versions of NETFLOW on cisco ios. After configuring firstone when you try to configure other version it will override the previously configured version.

  • Can't message or FaceTime between ipad2 and iPod touch with same apple id

    Posted this on the iPad page also.  I got a ipad2, my husband loves it but too big and bulky, we get him the iPod touch tonight.  I set his up using the same apple id because we truly want to share everything, BUT want to be able to message and FaceTime one another.  Works fine to begin with, but soon realize that we cant FaceTime using same e-mail, realize I can assign him a different e-mail.  do this, doesn't work, so try the trouble shooting on apple support, turn off face time and messaging, because I'm setting it up for both,  Somehow it locks me out of message and FaceTime completely, that I had to reset my password, now it will let me login using that apple id, but not allow me to use either my orignal or secondary e-mail that I did verify.  FaceTime just keeps sending me back in to the apple id log in screen.  I thought no matter what you were able to login on both devices using the same id, but I can't for some reason!  Thanks!

    I ended up resetting all of the content and settings back to factory standard, then starting over.  no issues after that.  I'm just glad that we hdan't done too much after purchase!

  • Possible to use both optical out AND regular line out at the same time?

    I currently have my computer speakers (logitech z560) hooked up to the mac pro via regular stereo jack in the back. I have an extra receiver that I would love to hook in to supply me with some needed sound for movie watching and what-not.. Is there a way to enable both line out - digital and line out at the same time?

    You can set DVD Player's "Audio output" to "Digital Out" in its "Disc Setup" preference, while other applications use Line Out.
    You could use a splitter on Line Out to feed your current speakers, and analog Line In on your receiver. When you want sound to both systems, set the receiver to Line In. When you want to watch DVDs, set it to Digital In. This will give you surround sound if the DVD has multichannel sound, and the receiver supports more than two channels.
    If you really want the same output on the Mac Pro Line Out, and Digital Out, you can use the "Auxiliary Device Output" effect in Audio Hijack Pro
    <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
    It will not support more than two-channel audio.

  • Using both the printer and AirTunes on the same Airport Express

    Can I use the same AirPort Express to print wirelessly and have AirTunes hooked up to it also. Or would I have to get a separate AirPort for each use.

    Yes. There may be a hiccup due to bandwidth use if you print while streaming. But the answer is still yes.

  • Is it possible to use an exact phrase and a wildcard in the same query

    I am building an address finder, and i have an option where the user can enter part or a full uk postcode. There is a ctxcat index on the address field. I am having a problem searching for part of the postcode, if i enter 'ZZ1 2*' it finds all ZZ1 and all house number 2's if i enter ' " ZZ1 2"*' it fails with an error, is this a bug or is it not possibl to use the exact phrasing and wildcard at the same time.
    If its not possible can anyone suggest another way round this query.
    Thank

    hi,
    in my table i have a column called address,
    these would contain something along the lines of these 2 records.
    10 high street anytown ZZ1 3ZZ
    3 bridge street anytown ZZ1 8ZZ
    If searching on the postcode, the user may enter ZZ1 3 at the moment this would bring back both records, the first one from the ZZ1 and the second one from the house number 3. however if ZZ1 3 is entered i am wanting to just search on the postcode, so it would only match on the first record. so i would like to put the double quotes round the "ZZ1 3" to match on the exact phrase, but then no records come back because of the two letters after the 3, this was why i am asking about the wildcards after the exact phrase ,atch, so it can match the exact phrase of 'ZZ1 3' but then allow any characters after that.
    hope this explaings my problem a bit better.
