Skip chapters in an Audiobook using keyboard while in other apps?

In iTunes, when listening to an audiobook I can use shift-command-right to skip forward a chapter in an Audiobook.
I have a current model aluminum keyboard with the media control keys in the top row. Is there some way I can use these to skip to the next chapter without first command-tabbing back to iTunes?
Also, is there a way to skip back 30 seconds, as with the iPhone player?

Yeah, I was also using Afloat before updating to Lion, but now it seems it is not compatible anymore. Mac should have that function (keep a window on top) built in - such an easy thing and so helpful, much more than all claimed "productivity" apps etc. Linux has it since always...

  • What app captures audio while running other apps simultaneously?

    Anyone know of an app that allows the user to pause and and start audio recording while running other apps simultaneously? An app with a widget residing in the corner of the sceen while the user navigates other apps on the ipad? Any solutions?

    Really? can't say I've ever needed that - besides, separate volume controls in every app is going to
    get unwieldy if you run a lot of apps.
    To be honest, it's really only needed for browsers like Safari. I'm surprised you've never needed it? Have you never been listening to iTunes while browsing, and come across some stoopid website that insists - uninvited - on assaulting your ears with some garbage or other? For example, some of the lyrics sites play some godawful rock video. I used Detour all the time.
    I've had a look at Wiretap, but tbh over $100 is one helluva price just to mute Safari (though probably worth it if you use all its features).
    Kappy, thanks for the suggestion, I will have a look at those two resources.

  • Can't play podcast while on other apps...iphone 6 plus

    Why can't I play downloaded podcasts while using other apps like facebook on my Iphone 6 Plus?

    Since New Years Eve, I have spent  nearly 15 hours with senior support advisors on this issue. Trust me, I've tried everything. Once it downloads on Apple TV all I get is AUDIO. The trailer will play fine, all the other apps on Apple TV play fine. The only thing I'm having trouble with is movies RENTED FROM ITUNES ON APPLE TV and MOVIES RENTED ON ANY IOS device. Not just mine, I've tried using my Apple ID on other people IOS devices but the movies download but won't start. I have one purchased movie that will play fine on any platform, but not rented movies.
    There are no error messages, all setting have need restored, reset, and reset again by THREE senior advosors. I don't know how to explain it any cleatee than
    this.. sorry to be short, but I don't see any Apple tech people making any type of effort to remedy the problem.

  • HT5642 want to play video while on safari while opening other apps!

    cant play youtube video while playing game or opening other apps, but last time can! why?

    Is your friends phone jailbroke? Also are you using the facebook app? If so then you need to ask the developer of the app what the problem is.

  • How can I listen to pandaro while exploring other apps

    How can I listen to pandaro while exploring other apps

    I'm guessing you mean "Pandora". Launch Pandora. Start listening to music. Tap the Home button. Select whatever app you want to work with.

  • On the left side of my address bar it is showing that firefox has blocked content that is insecure, whenevr I'm using facebook or any other apps related to it.

    Firefox is blocking content from almost all the websites.
    It is even showing that for this page.
    Every time I refresh the facebook page/ an app on the facebook this will appear.
    Previously it used to crash firefox, then I upgraded it but since then it is just keeping on blocking if the gray/ geen colored padlock is active on the left side of the address bar.
    So every time I get this error I have to refresh the page & again disable protection on the page.
    If the website is verified then is firefox blocking almost everything.

    Hello,
    I would recommend running the latest version, Firefox 25. Improvements are always being made based on user feedback.
    Starting in Firefox 23, if a secure page includes certain types of insecure content, Firefox blocks the insecure content and a shield icon will appear in the address bar. See this article for more information about the new mixed content blocker: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]
    To temporarily allow the mixed content to be displayed:
    *Click the '''shield icon''' [[Image:Mixed Content Shield]] in the address bar and choose '''Disable Protection on This Page''' from the dropdown menu.
    [[Image:Fx23MixedContentBlocker]]
    To allow insecure content to be displayed in all secure pages, enter '''about:config''' in the address bar and double-click on this preference, to toggle it from true to false:
    '''security.mixed_content.block_active_content'''
    You can also use this add-on instead, to toggle the preference:
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggle-mixed-active-content/ Toggle Mixed active content] add-on
    You may want to do this only for the current session, then reset the preference back to "true" and check back with the site to see whether it's been fixed, since this is a global setting that exposes you on all sites, not just the one you care about.
    Let us know if this helps!

  • Switching track while in other Apps

    When I am working in another application such as PhotoShop or illustrator, can I change to the next iTunes track without going back into iTunes to do it. Can this be done?
    David

    Besides the tips macmenno gave you, you also have basic controls including next and previous track from the popup menu from the iTunes icon in the Dock. Another option is to get the free Konfabulator and then getting one of the iTunes widgets. If you eventually upgrade to Tiger, you could get an iTunes widget for Dashboard rather than relying on Konfabulator. There are also several free and shareware options listed on VersionTracker. Finally, if you are using Firefox, you can get the FoxyTunes extension to get complete control of iTunes from the status bar.

  • Itunes not work while in other app?

    It seems my itunes is either stalling or slowing down a lot when I'm using another app on my MBP...
    all software is most current...
    this is when syncing my iphone 3g...
    is this normal?

    You're limited to what you can do in Faces view. Emailing, exporting or printing the image is not allowed. Why? No one knows for sure but there are work around's.
    If it is only one image you want to share you can right click on the image and select Show in Project. That will take you to the project where the image is and from there you can share it.
    If it's more then one image you can collect them in an album (select all the images and do New Album) or else flag each image and then go to the Flagged album and work from there.
    regards

  • I just noticed you can't right click icons in the dock when in Mission Control. I think this would be useful for turning off other apps easilt from full screen mode.

    Would anyone else find this useful?

    For me no. I think it's just as much or more effort as cmd-tab (or swipe) to the open app and then cmd-q to close it.

  • Why does CS6ServiceManager runs in 32Bit while all other apps do i 64-Bit?

    It confuses me and seems unnecessary when trying to run a sole 64-Bit system. Why is there no 64-Bit CS6ServiceManager part of the official Adobe CS installation?

    Why is that in any way a problem? What would a 64bit service manager do that the 32bit one couldn't? And contrary to your perception, there are many otehr 32bit components running even on a 64bit system. The "clean 64bit system" is a myth.

  • Can I use photoshop with out installing other apps for cs6?

    can I use photoshop without installing other apps?

    You absolutely can
    Usually, Adobe Bridge is automatically installed as a companion app for Photoshop - for example, if you download Photoshop CS6 through Creative Cloud, Bridge will also be installed. But Photoshop can definitely be used as a "stand-alone" application.

  • I'm trying to listen to an audiobook (Infinite Jest) and the friggin Nano keeps skipping chapters.  Suggestions?

    When I listen to Infinite Jest on the computer, all is fine.  However, since I've transferred it to iPod Nano (6th generation) the Nano skips chapters all around.  IT IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.  Any suggestions, anyone?

  • Skip Chapters With Keyboard

    I have a video file with chapter markers. Is there any way to set up QuickTime to let me skip chapters with the arrow keys, like I do on the DVD Player application?

    Thanks. That makes sense now. Is there a trick or work-around to make each menu button play only a certain group of clips and then return to the main page? I have been sharing the whole project straight to iDVD. Is there a way to do it in stages so there is an end point in each section? BTW I do not have Final Cut Pro.

  • I want to lock out the PC keyboard while allowing barcode reader input

    I have an application that uses a barcode reader to enter part numbers.  I have been asked by manglement if I can lock-out the keyboard to prevent the users from typing in the part numbers (too prone to error in typing).  As the barcode reader is a separate USB port from the keyboard, is there a way to identify the keyboard port and disable it programmatically?

    Since your barcode reader is USB, you may have the ability to set it up as a COM port.  Several USB readers will either behave as a keyboard or a COM port.  You would then have to modify your software to look at the COM Port.  You can change the control to an indicator and the user will not be able to do anything.
    The other option, which is what I typically do, is to add prefix and suffix characters to the barcode scanner.  I pick a prefix that corresponds to a LabVIEW Key Navigation settign to set focus to the control.  This way, whenever the barcode scanner scans, the control is automatically highlighted and the barcode fills end.  I usually use a suffix of the ENTER key so the data is entered.
    This way, you can hide your control off-screen so users cannot see it.  Use an indicator on-screen.  You can even set the off-screen control to be skipped while tabbing.  The other nice thing with the prefix is I can simulate the barcode with the keyboard by using the special key navigation sequence.  This is not 100% tamper-proof, but most operators aren't going to know what you are doing to skip the barcode reader unless you show them.
