System wide iTunes control

My music collection is stored on an G4 (MDD), which has a 2005 era keyboard attached (looks like: Link). On my Macbook F7, F8 & F9 control iTunes, regardless of what else is open. Is there a way of assigning keys to control iTunes when it's not the foremost application, specifically when running a different program full screen?
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, I can't help with your key assignments.
I use this freeware utility program that gives you complete control over iTunes from the Mac OS X menu bar. You might like it.

ITunes 10.7 crashes all apps on Mountain Lion including Force Quit. First system wide prob with an apple computer since OSX introduced. Any ideas?

updated to iTunes 10.7 from app Store last night. After the update, iTunes opens then stalls with the "spinning pizza wheel". Force Quit is unresponsive and will not shut it down. If I then open other applications say Safari for example, the problem migrates over to Safari and it similarly stalls and becomes unresponsive. The only way to solve the problem is to manually shut the computer down. This is the most significant problem I have experienced on an apple computer since OSX was introduced because it impacts on Force Quit which means that you have to shut the whole deal down. There are obvious problems for use of Apple TV and apple store etc. ! I am running mountain lion 10.8.1 on a 27" iMac with 2T Time Capsule connected wirelessly. How do I downgrade iTunes back to 10.6? I had no problems with Mountain Lion or iTunes up to that point.

this is the exact same problem i've been dealing with for the past 2 days. after i installed itunes 10.7 for my iphone5 it would crash my mbp's lion system wide. i tried every solution i could find on google and i've actually had to reinstall lion & time machine my backups because of it. right now i'm too scared to redownload itunes 10.7. i actually feel like waiting for the "new itunes" that comes out in october.

Suggestion: airtunes should be a system-wide "sound out" option.

instead of limiting itunes to using the airtunes option. shouldn't it be made an option in the "sound out" control panel? that would make sense... it should be easy to do as well...
cheers,
pierre

Hi Pierre,
I believe the reason that its not a system wide option is that the sound is streamed to the Airtunes, and therefore there is a lag which would be problematic for watching movies, garageband or other apps which would require synching the sound to what you are doing or seeing on your computer.
I have heard a product called airfoil, but have no personal experience with using it.

Setting ALSA sound card system wide (rather than just in KDE)

Hi,
I've got an HTPC with an ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card running Arch x86. It has its own integrated sound card for outputting audio via HDMI, which is detected by ALSA as a separate device. I've managed to set it as the default audio device in KDE 4 (via System Settings). This allows applications such as Amarok and SMPlayer to properly output audio to the HD 4350's integrated sound card, but software such as Flash and MPlayer (from the command line) are still outputting audio to the motherboard's built-in sound card. How can I change this setting on a system-wide level? I've tried running alsaconf as root and adding
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
device 3
to ~/.asoundrc; I got the card and device numbers from aplay:
[htpc@exia ~]$ aplay -l

OSX System Wide Font Size?

I just bought my first 27 inch iMac..
Although I'm lovin it, I do have it sitting at arms length away from me and am finding the font size vert small..
With this high res display the font is a bit tiny and am just wondering if its possible to change the system wide font size?
Ny eyesight is great but I'm finding that I need the computer right up to my face to be able to comfortable see the fonts..
-Frankie

There are some suggestions here
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17593815#17593815
including changing the screen resolution and the font size for folder and icons.
Another option not mentioned there is to enable the 'Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom' option in
 > System Preferences > Accessibility | Zoom
After that, you can hold down the 'control' key and 2-finger swipe to zoom the entire screen.

Preference Pane for system wide audio EQ? (2 yrs later)

I fully agree with the quoted message underneath.
*"Is there some sort of universal Equalizer I can apply to all my audio? A Preference Pane would be great! I listen to an internet radio client (XM Radio) that doesn't have any EQ control.*
*I know Audio Hijack can do this. But I'd rather not run a whole other application on top of the radio client just for EQ."* (original post from Feb 20, 2007 5:07 PM)
I can't believe that almost 2 years later, there is still no system wide equalizer in OS X, working always, like, while watching YouTube or whatever. Yes, I know there is Hear now, but both apps, Hear and Audio Hijack Pro, are expensive and overkill for the simple ability to change some equalizer settings. A preference pane would be much better.

I found a system wide EQ along with mixer and many other functions it works great its called Hear this is the web sight http://www.joesoft.com/products/hear.php

Log out after ... minutes of activity - user based or system wide?

In System Preferences -> Security and Privacy there is an option to log a user out after x minutes of activity. If that option is selected, does it control the process user by user or does it log all users out at the same time? If it is system-wide, is there a way to control behavior such that individual users can be logged out but others are not? Thanks in advance for any help and/or ideas. - Steve.

I was afraid that would be the case. My motivation for asking the question was because I have two main accounts on my iMac - mine and my wife's. When only my account is logged in, the system will sleep after the predetermined time I set within System Preferences -> Energy Saver. However, when my wife logs into her account and launches Safari (that's almost all she does on the iMac), unless she either quits Safari or logs out manually, the iMac never sleeps. I use Safari all the time and leave it running and do not experience the same behavior.
I'm wondering if there's some service running on her account that isn't on mine. I'd originally discounted that but clearly there's something different about her account. Any ideas? Thank you!

System wide lag

Hello guys, new member here.
I'd like you guys to help me out with something here.
I have a 13 inch, mid 2013 macbook pro with a 2.9 ghz i7, 8 gb RAM and a 750 gig HDD.
My problem is every now and then there is a system wide lag which freezes pretty much everything and audio playing from itunes also pauses during that time, it's quite frustrating as i've been searching for a fix since yesterday but havent found anything that can completely fix it. Usually there is only itunes, safari, mail and maybe one or two more things open at a time. I have checked my HDD for issues but there seem to be none. I suspect that this is related to the CPU since while I was using safari, a process called WindowServer would start using around 35% CPU, with nothing that intensive open on the browser
Note: This was ocurring much more frequently this morning but it has gotten a bit better now after I downloaded chrome and started using it instead of safari, I would, however, like to use safari instead.
Thanks in advance, I would be very thankful if someone could help me out with this, I have my exams coming up and I rely on my laptop for a lot of stuff.

I've got this problem on Macbook pro (mid 2010, 2,4ghz i5, 8gb ram, nvidia gt330m)
I don't think it ever happened before upgrading to mavericks. But now it's horrible!
It seems to only happen to me when I'm running unity3D, but does happen every minute or even more often. And the system freezes for anywhere between a second and 15 seconds...

System wide freezes since 10.5.5

Ever since upgrading to 10.5.5 I've noticed the following sort of system-wide freeze on my iMac.
First, one application becomes unresponsive; you get the spinning beachball of death; you can still move the mouse around and click; every application becomes unresponsive, including the Finder. Only a hard restart works.
At first I noticed the problem in iChat, and looked into that. Hey presto, other users are experiencing the same problem with iChat, so I wrote to Apple/feedback and sat and waited. I stopped using iChat, and then found it happened in iTunes. Look at the iTunes discussion, and yes, there it is again, other users having the same problem.
I've repaired permissions, run Onyx, done everything I can think of.
Console doesn't have any useful (to me) messages. It says:

That kernel bootcache looks ominous, but I have little idea what it means. I wonder whether it's something to do with Time Machine backing up. Of course, the above might just be totally unrelated to what's going wrong. (Looking at Console is I find rather like looking at a medical dictionary; it's truly frightening, but most of it never in practice seems to be a problem.)
Anyone else experiencing random system freezes only since 10.5.5? Anyone suggest what else I can try or look for in Console to pin things down a bit more?

Hello all,
Let me chime in on this also... I also experienced freezes immediately after I updated to 10.5.5 from 10.5.4 about 10 days ago. I had never had my Mac (Black MacBook with 4GB or RAM) freeze that much, so I concluded that it had to do with the update.
After multiple freezes, I brought the Mac to the Apple Store where a Genius did a disk check, hardware check and everything checked out OK. However, the random freezes remained. They then did an archive and install *back to 10.5.4*, but same thing, freezes remained. At random intervals.
Around that time, I noticed that if I waited long enough, the machine would return from the freeze and everything would operate normally after that.
I seem to remember that the first ever time I noticed the freeze was when I was working in the Mail application.
After my fifth successive daily visit to the Genius Bar, where they offered to completely format my internal drive, install a fresh copy of 10.5.4 and re-load my data back in. On this, they completely failed me, they returned my computer with half of the applications missing (the iPhoto application was not even on the drive), and my data partially restored.
I then decided to re-format my drive once again, use the 10.5.2 Install Disk that came with my Mac to freshly install the OS. Then immediately thereafter I downloaded the 10.5.5 combo installer and used it to upgrade to 10.5.5. Then, I selectively copied files from my Time Machine backup hard drive back to my internal drive.
Time Machine did not work for me when trying to restore e-mail mailboxes. It only partially imported the mailboxes I needed. Instead I had to do an "import mailboxes" from the Mail application and point it to the mailbox location on my Time Machine backup.
So, now I have a system that is lean and clean, I didn't install any "major" other applications using installers, just a few applications I drag-copied to the Applications folder.
The machine ran fine for a day or two, until I tried to move some mail from my inbox into another mailbox. Boooom, spinning beach ball again. I let the machine sit for about 5 minutes, and it came back. But this indicates that there is still an issue.
Since I also experienced this problem after going back to 10.5.4, I am wondering whether the 10.5.5 install does affect firmware or other device 'hardware' functionality that remains, even after reverting to 10.5.4. This is the only reason I can come up with for why the problem still existed when I went to 10.5.4.
Anyway, this post does not provide a solution, but merely some other data points.
Oh and by the way, I had never even started iTunes before this problem showed up again this morning. So, not sure whether it is related to iTunes.

System wide mini malfunctions

I have a mac mini i5 (2.3 GHz mid 2012)
OS X 10.8.3
I have multiple log in accounts (main, kids etc)
I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago and just now realized there are system wide malfunctions going on.
Prior to upgrade, I backed up, wiped the drive clean, then installed Lion and a week later upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Problems:
Loging into account C: I am greeted with a "Enter iCloud ID or create a new one" then another screen saying "Enjoy your computer." I have entered the info at this prompt and am greeted by the same prompt the next time I log in. I have had an icloud account for months and this info is entered in the Pref Settings as well. It is as if the computer is not remebering the info I am entering.
Login items that have been turned off, will be turned back on after login or reboot.
Account A- Finder - if I customize the side bar of the finder window, it will accept the changes for my current session, but if I log out or restart, the customization is reverted back to the default
Mail - opens two window upon launching, it will not remember my toolbar customization (similar to the finder side bar problem above)
will not remember changes to pref settings like "move junk mail to trash"
Account B Safari will not remember auto log in info.
I've tried repairing disk permissions
I've gotten advice to delete various .plists and data states.
None of this has helped. I feel like I'm working on a computer in the public library. Urrggh!

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How To Hide In Stock/Out Of Stock System Wide?

Hi,
We are selling items that are setup as Bills of Material. The problem is that they always show as Not In Stock on the website. This is because the stock levels come from OITM (Items in B1) and for BoMs the matching item in B1 does not get a stock level. Since the item stock level is the one used in Web Tools, I would simply like to hide any warnings about items being 'Not In Stock' because it's not an accurate statement. I know the customer can still place an order but it might make someone change their mind about ordering an item if they 'think' it's not in stock.
Is there any system wide setting to hide all stock level indications and warnings about out of stock items?
Thanks,
David Wall

Hello David,
This is possible, but it is a couple of steps:
1) In windows explorer navigate to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\b1webtools\catalog\controls\ and open up partpriceblock.ascx with a text editor such as note pad. You want to modify the following lines by putting comment marks around them like this (HTML comment marks are )
     
For the instock/out of stock and

To hide the inventory count.
2) You will also need to modify the cart.aspx page which can be found in c:\intepub\wwwroot\b1webtools\commerce\ like this:
                
3) And lastly the cartdetaillistblock.ascx control which can be found in the controls folder of the above stated directory. Modifying as shown below:

It should also be noted than an upgrade will overwrite these changes, but in the majority of situations you can reuse the modified ASPX/ASCX pages by overwriting the newer pages with the older modified pages.
Hope this makes sense.
Kind Regards,
James

Set system wide default mailto url

I'm trying to configure system wide settings in linux so any new user will apply for this settings.
I want register my zimbra server with mailto links.
I've found some information here:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/general-questions/48547-how-control-mailto-selection-firefox.html
but this must be performed by the user and I want to be preconfigured.
I also tried to play with mimeTypes.rdf, but it seems that there's no system wide mimetypes file. is just created when users changes something.
how can I setup that setting system wide?

I've found a partial solution.
create an application file, for example '''/usr/share/applications/zimbra.desktop''' with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=mail-message-new
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
Name=Zimbra
Comment=Zimbra
Exec=xdg-open https://my.zimbraserver.com/zimbra/?view=compose&to=%u
Type=Application
X-XFCE-MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
then modify file '''/etc/gnome/defaults.list''', find and substitute '''x-scheme-handler/mailto''' with filename you just created:
''x-scheme-handler/mailto=zimbra.desktop''
the caveat is only works with unity, if you use another wm probably won't work

Preference Pane for system wide audio EQ?

Is there some sort of universal Equalizer I can apply to all my audio? A Preference Pane would be great! I listen to an internet radio client (XM Radio) that doesn't have any EQ control.
I know Audio Hijack can do this. But I'd rather not run a whole other application on top of the radio client just for EQ.

I found a system wide EQ along with mixer and many other functions it works great its called Hear this is the web sight http://www.joesoft.com/products/hear.php

AU Lab as system-wide EQ

Im having trouble setting up a system-wide EQ on in my home studio.
I downloaded soundflower and AU Lab.
I am trying to route the audio signal to pass through AU Lab and filter it to the tuning of my control room before going out through my audio interface to my speaker monitors.
If i set up the audio preferences in system preferences to go out of soundflower and set it up as the input in AU Lab then out to my audio interface (M-Audio ProFire 610 via FireWire) i do not hear the signal.
If i change the output in system preferences to profire i do hear the signal but it does not show in AU Lab and it does not get filtered.
If i set up the audio out in system preferences through soundflower and the input and output in AU Lab through soundflower, the signal goes through AU lab and it does get filtered but i hear no sound.
Can anyone help me set it up so the signal flows as follows
Computer (CD, DVD, youtube, DAW) > soundflower > AU Lab (EQ) > Profire 610 > speaker monitors
Keeping in mind that i do record through the profire into my DAW

Just an update,
I noticed something called soundflower bed installed.
I used it to send the signal of my audio to profire but kept the system preferences audio out through soundflower and in AU Lab through sound flower as well.
It worked and i can filter the audio but there is a problem... Comb filtering.
It sounds like 2 of the same audio is playing at a slight delay ( probably a sample or 2 apart ). One signal from profire and the other from AU lab. I muted the one in AU lab and it sounded fine through profire but without the desired filter (EQ). If i mute profire, no sound comes out.
Also, after 2-5 minutes a loud buzz comes out where I usually go to soundflower bed and select no output then select the profire out again.

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.
