PulseAudio: Why does its daemon exit after idling 20s?
By default PulseAudio exits its daemon after 20 seconds of idle time:
# Terminate the daemon when idle and the specified number of seconds passed.
; exit-idle-time = 20
1) Why is that?
2) After it exited, how do I automatically start PulseAudio again afterwards on demand?
3) Is it relevant for battery life? Or can I simply set exit-idle-time to "-1" and be done with it?
Thanks in advance!

Interesting. It does not auto-start for me. I am using xmonad, I am running dbus as a daemon (I suppose because the wiki told me) and I put "pulseaudio --start" in .xinitrc.
What am I missing?

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time
why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?
You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
If so, contact your wireless carrier. That's a cellular connection issue. -

Why does't Flashplayer work after I agreed to an update from an Adobe pop-up box prompt?
I had problems last year when Flashplayer stopped working suddenly. After months of seeking help, I received instructions that fixed the problem...until the other day. A pop-up box from Adobe appeared indicating an update was available. I agreed to installing the update and the Flashplayer has not worked since. I referred to my notes from the "fix" last year and made one adjustment in the Active-X settings, but this did not help. Flashplayer still does not work. Help! I just don't think I can go through this for several months again.
Hi,
I am going to try reorganizing my reply first and
just forwarding to you before I try to recover a
message. I think the problem may be that I
provided answers within your text instead of
separately. Your system may not like the format
I tried. So here goes.... I have pulled my
answers out of your message and they appear in
the order of your inquiries below.
“Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
certain no applications are still in memory which
might possibly use Flash Player.” –a statement
from the Adobe Un-install link article. I don't
know what “in memory” means. The only things I
have that may use Flashplayer that I know of is
the Weather Bug. Windows Mediaplayer is also
listed in my programs, but I have never used it.
Also, there is no mention of Norton here, but
Norton Internet Security ’09 is what I have installed.
1. No Firefox. MSN Exlorer is listed among my
Programs, but I have never used it. It was
likely installed by Dell when I purchased the computer.
2. Norton Internet Security '09. Bell Internet
Security - Alert is listed in my programs (with
options, including uninstall) but this is the first time I have noticed it.
3. Norton Internet Security has a firewall with
it that I understand is way better than Windows.
4. There is a Google toolbar, Norton toolbar and
a bunch of stuff listed in the Manage Add-ons
like Skype, Adobe and Sun Java Console which I think are add-ons.
Java Webstart is listed under Accessories in
Programs. In Programs is Adobe Distiller 6.0,
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe (which is
empty), Adobe.com and Adobe Reader 9. I did not find DLM or GetPlus.
I found no listing for Shockwave Flash
Object. You did not ask this and I don't mean to
get ahead of you but in case there is relevance,
I looked in Internet Options, Security, Custom
and saw a number of reference to Active X and
plug-ins, some of which are disabled; others enabled.
From reading in your posts to mlmarg, I saw the
instructions for finding the Flash folder and
used them. I used Explorer to access My
Computer,, C Drive, Folder 1386, Folder System
32. There are 2 items in it from 2002 but not
what I think you want. The 2 are SMSS.EXE and
NTDLL.DLL. If this is not correct, I will need your instructions to locate it.
I will ask because I don't always understand
what you are asking of me. Thanks.

Why GPS symbols cannot exit after i exit ovi maps ...
i have one something problem for my hp nokia n86,
why gps symbols cannot exit after i close my ovi map. after i exit ovi maps the gps symbols still display, please help me for solved this problem , i used firmware 30.009, latest ovi maps v3.04Okay then, the best solution maybe to remove Ovi Maps from your phone, backup all your contacts, messages etc. (not settings) to memory card or PC, remove the memory card and then try the resets in the order below, then re-installing Ovi Maps. Please note, if you don't back up your phone's data before resetting, you will lose everything!
Factory settings reset. In standby, dial *#7780# and the phone's security code (the nokia's default security code is 12345). This reset restores phone's original settings.
Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's security code. Soft reset deletes ALL your phone's data!
Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk key, the * key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the nokia hands logo/nokia boot up screen. Hard reset also deletes ALL data on your phone!
Good luck! -
Why does my text DARKEN after I RASTERIZE it?
If anybody could answer this question for me, that would
be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does my text darken after I click outside the text marching-ants box? And then why does it get even darker once I rasterize the text layer?
this is puzzling me and I'm sure the answer is obvious..
I've ATTACHED a picture of my issue..
THANKS for any help!
DanAh, ok that makes sense!
Thanks for the quick response!
I've noticed if I export it as a JPEG and then minimize the JPEG, it darkens as well..
Ok, one more quick question if you don't mind..
How come even though I set my canvas size at 15" x 13"...
when I zoom to 100% it's waaay too big to even fit on my screen,
appearing maybe 3' x 4' ...?
I'm confused about what canvas sizes I should be using
in designing a standard webpage background or an image for a Youtube video..
...and on that note, is there a way to shrink the canvas while having all your layers
proportionately adjust their contents to the new canvas size?
Thanks for any info!

Why does my iphone4 flickers after recent update
Why does my iphone 4 screen now flicker after the recent update, Typically its now 14months old and not in warrenty!!!
danielfromhull,
I hate using the steps from the users manual, but have you tried the hard reset and reset all on your phone? There are 2 pages of such posts re flickering, and the user manual method appears to fix nothing.
I see some blame placed on recent updates, which is very possible. Second most likely candidate is hardware itself.
Given there is no quick fix, nor real fix, start with the user manual effort first. Failing that keep checking here from time to time. -
Why does my ping increase after a few minutes of resetting AirPort?
I connect various phones and my Macbook Air to WIFI using my AirPort Express. I have been plagued with WIFI and ISP problems and recently upgraded my modem to try and fix this issue that persists to this day. I feel like I have narrowed down the problem to my AirPort Express.
After resetting my Airport everything appears to be running smoothly. My download/upload speeds are adequate, I have a very strong WIFI signal, all is well. When I go to play online games I notice an increase in my ping within 10 minutes of resetting my Airport. It happens fairly abruptly - it is not an incremental change. For example I am usually jumping from ~100ms to ~450ms. This happens on multiple servers and can't be tied to one host.
After resetting my AirPort my ping goes back down to normal but jumps up after a few moments. I have my Arris modem set to bridge, and I've tried connecting to the 5GHz channel through the router and there doesn't seem to be any difference.
This problem started a month or so ago. The AirPort has worked absolutely perfectly for a couple of years now. It is really only the ping in online games that seem to be effected – my download/upload speeds are running well which has me stumped.
AirPort Express
Version 7.6.4
Serial number C86HV4YPDV2R
I really appreciate any help! I am out of warranty with the device to call apple and I've spent more than a lifetime on the phone with TWC.Wireless is extraordinarily complicated. It is more a wonder that it works that doesn't.
Two follow up questions. First, I have taken both the phones in the household off wifi as well as my Roku and that didn't make any noticeable differences.
It is worth a try.. it is wireless after all.. voodoo in another medium.
your answer doesn't really help with two issues. My computer used to connect with no ping increase before this sudden change and why does this change start happening after a few moments of clarity and then skyrocketing pings?
How old is your Express? Anything more than 3 years can suffer due to build quality.. apple is no different to other brands now. A sudden change can indicate poor internals.
7.6.4 is lousy firmware.. test with 7.6.1 if that is possible. (newest ones may not downgrade)
I personally have heaps of Extreme and TC but avoid the express.. it is expensive for what it is.. a very low end wireless AP that can double up as a router at a pinch.
If you have an old Express that you upgraded the firmware.. you may not have noticed the upgrade coincided with the poor pings.. but it can happen.
Also Mavericks.. if you upgrade installed mavericks it can have dire effects on the wireless.. even the latest update to Mavericks has been causing wireless issues. Mavericks and networking is somewhat akin to tin cans and wet string. With the string fraying.
So reset to factory.
Downgrade the firmware.. then reset to factory a second time..
Test it with short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. NOT apple names.. since mavericks changed to SMB networking from AFP in previous versions.
Downgrade firmware by holding down the option key whilst you select version number. Pick from the list that will appear.
Test close to the Express..
Test with no wireless security.. remember it is a test.
Run the wireless diagnostics on the computer to see if it shows anything.
About Wireless Diagnostics
The reason for increase in ping times, can be link speeds dropping, WMM failing.. as it seems to .. or just plain old bad drivers.
I have made huge improvements in things like latency in routers that allow actual settings on the wireless to be changed.. packet size in particular.. one serious issue here is Apple have not given us access to any settings.. in airport particularly but even in the Mac.. this stuff is hidden from end users. -
Why does memory usage increase after RAM upgrade
I upgraded my MBP RAM from 4GB to 8GB. I'm not running any additional applications, so I expected machine's RAM usage to remain the same as it was before upgrade.
However, my RAM usage has increased to 4.6 GB. Why does my machine need more RAM now for the same lot of programs?

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck. My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep. Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures??? If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.
