[SOLVED] Firefox: no sound for HTML5, yet Flash works well

Hello.
I have a fresh installation of the arch distro and I am facing a sound problem with firefox. Flash sounds work perfectly, yet I can't make HTML5 to sound. It works in Chromium(perfectly) and Opera(with lags).

No, I use ALSA, not pulseaudio. Two of that files is a try to fix everything up. I use this configuration because I have

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hi
I am a keen photographer and I have just bought you SD card reader for ipad. This works well but was winding if there is an app that I can view the images on the SD card full screen without having to import them to the iPad or is there a way to do this on the iPad
The reason for buy this was for when I was out and about to get a better view off my images.
I have a iPad 2 16gb
Hope you can help!
Thanks

A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower. its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

After updating to new version of Firefox, my paid for RoboForm will not work. What should I do? I MUST have it working. Thanks Jane

Yesterday I downloaded the new version of Firefox as suggested by you. Then my paid for version of RoboForm , which always has worked, would not work. I MUST have it working. What can I do now to solve this crucial problem? PLEASE send detailed info so I can follow exactly. Thanks, Jane P.

You need version 7 of RoboForm for Firefox 4. Version 6 will only work with Firefox 3.6.* or earlier.
If you have version 6 this may be viewed as a method to generate income by Roboform in forcing users to update to version 7 and not offering updates to version 6 to make it compatible.
An alternative free password manager that works with Firefox 4 is Lastpass - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager
If you have version 6 of Roboform and need to use it you will have to downgrade to Firefox 3.6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Sound for games doesn't work on iPad 2

Sound works on iPad 2 for everything except games. Is there some special way to get sound for games to work?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

One account for apps, one for iTunes Match. Work well?

Who out there buys iPhone apps on one account, and is subscribed to iTunes Match on another account?
Constant authentication when swapping from buying apps to listening to music, or not?

Actually, no, it doesn't require re-authentication of the computer every time. The problem arises with iTM enabled,whenf you log out of that account and into another then you are locked out of the original account for 90 days. So, no, this method will not work well.
Just out of curiosity why do you do it this way? It seems very cumbersome to me.

Extended router's network for Airport extreme. Works well with MacbookPro. I can print with notebook with XP SP3 and, I can see the USB-harddisc in the Airport service program but, I cannot use it. I have set filesharing etc. What do I do wrong?

I connected the Airport Extreme wireless to the existing network of my router. At the Airport there is connected via USB a Printer and three hard discs. All works well on my MacBook Pro - I can print and use the hard discs. On my notebook and my desktop, both with XP-SP3 I can use the printer only. In the Airport service program - manual set up - hard discs I can see the drives with the correct names but I cannot work with it. I don't find neithe the Airport Extreme nor the drives in the Windows Explorer. Of course I've set 'filesharing' etc. What do I do wrong? Where is the mistake in the set up?

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Looking for HD camcorder that works well with FCP. I'm fed up!

Hello Cutters!
I have the JVC GZ-HD7. This cam is a complete total nightmare. I have tried everything and the kitchen sink to get it to capture or to playback its files on my Mac Pro! It works on my PC but I want to use my Mac.
I have renamed the .TOD files to everything you can think of...and nothing.
I paid $20 to Apple and downloaded the mpeg2 update... and nothing.
I have tried capturing video with FCP and iMovie. You just see a Blue screen.
I have download the QuickTime update from Panasonic and it doesn't work either because it's outdated.
I have also tried other wild and crazy things. I GIVE UP. I'm not stupid, i've done my research and I'm about to post this cam on eBay.
I also herd that the new Panasonic HD cams are difficult to work with on Macs to?
So what are you guys using??? What is working for you? Does anything work?
-Mark

HI, I know nothing about your camera.
But, months ago someone at the COW was having problems
playing .TOD files from his camera.
He put a sample to download on his iDIsk.
Bring the curious type I found the QuickTime TOD plugin
that comes on the software disk included with the camera.
I also found easy setups for FCP and the Everio cam.
**You can get an updater for your installed QuickTime Component for Everio
released last April here:
http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/updateqtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3eupdate.htm
and FCP easy setups here:
http://www.everydayvideo.com/eng/GZHD7/indexqc.php
The aforementioned TOD clip then opens instantly in QuickTime player
ready to export in the format of your choosing.
This on Leopard 10.5.4 and QuickTime 7.5
This may or may not help.
NB, You must have the the +QuickTime Component for Everio+ from your software disk installed for the updater to work.
This updater specifically mentions your camera.

Does somebody know how to make Firefox use Gstreamer for HTML5 video?

... especially for Youtube ?
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't get it… does it apply to standard firefox now or why does it say core? If it's still fennec only, I'd love to see one for desktop firefox, too - but I'm not to sure I can open a bug/feature request in an orderly fashion, so maybe someone with smoother "bugtracker skills" might want to.
(Also: vote! )

The sound for my iMac stopped working

Ive been watching music videos, first using firefox, when the sound stopped working. So I gave it a rest, but to no avail. Then I found that safari didn't have a problem, and started watching with it and after a few clips, nothing no sound??

Hello dennis jfromdouglas,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like sounds stops working in a few applications. Does sound qwork not on the internet? I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
Some applications may output no audio, but system alert sounds and iTunes playback can be heard - Apple Support

My ipad1 lost sound for all games but works fine for music, movies, etc. Thoughts?

any suggestions?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

[SOLVED ]Automatic Xsession starting for two users not working

Trying to have two Xsession running in the same time, started automatically after login on two consoles. When I start the second manually at tty8, it is running flawless. When trying to do the same with .xinitrc, it is completelly ignored and still talks bullshit about Xsession running for display 0.
Make me feel there is some configuration file somewhere where it should not definitelly exist which takes controll everytime but when starting Xsession manually…

Yep exactly, computer for lames, the second user is just for english-speaking, first one will be for native Czech. As soon as this will work, I will even set automatic logon with mingetty for both users.

For the second user change this to

:0 instead of :1 (or you can use :2 etc.)
I think I've already tried, tried again now and still the same result.

Why Firefox netspeed is extremely slow, other browsers work well.

Firefox incoming netspeed is slow, only 1-4 Mb, should be 24Mb without loss.
All other browser shows 18-20 Mb.
Uninstall and reintall does not solve the problem, done several times.
F-Secure have been driven several times, no help.
F-Secure setup also checked.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works better.
