Using Airtunes for other things than iTunes?

Hi,
Is it possible to use my Airport Express, which is connected to speakers around the house, for other sounds than just from iTunes? So I can hear different sounds from all applications as though it were my built in speakers I was using?
Thanks.

Have a look at Rogue Amoebe's Airfoil:
"With Airfoil, you can now send any audio right through your AirPort Express. Use RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Safari, and almost any other application with your AirPort Express. Using Airfoil you can also send audio from widgets and radios like the RadioSHARK, and tweak the audio with Airfoil's built-in effects.
Airfoil also adds the fantastic ability to send audio to multiple AirPort Express units at once. It's now possible to send audio all around your house right from your computer. Don't spend thousands of dollars on expensive solutions to get your audio throughout your home. "Wire" your whole house wirelessly, using AirPort Express units, and give your audio wings with Airfoil."

Use drive for other things

If I use an external hard drive for time machine, can I also use it for other things? I ask because I have a 500gb internal, and I'm debating on the 500 lacie or 1000 lacie. Obviously I only need the 500 for time machine, but I'm thinking additional space could be useful now that I have a HD video camera. Granted, I dont shoot a lot of movies, but HD does take up some storage. Any advice?

Before using the HDD for TM backups, create another partition for your other storage needs. Use the 1st partition for TM backups in case you need to expand into the 2nd partition. The TM partition should be 2-3X the contents you are backing up. TM is NOT a clone, therefore the size of the backup will grow.

Can i use airport with other software than itunes?

I have my living room speakers connected to my Airport Express.
I can listen to my iTunes music playing it on my MacBook Air and I can use my iPhone to control it with Remote App.
But I can't use any other software to send sound to my speakers through Airport Express.
Is there a way to tell my computer to send all sound to Airport Express, e.g. listen to music from Youtube in my livingroom speakers?
Thanks!

I believe Airfoil can do that...

When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie. Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point? I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV. The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!! Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc? Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
Please note, only users read/comment here - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something. I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

is there another way i can download the update? it just never work, tried multiple time

The most common causes are:
Your antivirus, firewall or router security is blocking access to Apple's servers - try temporarily disabling them - if you have Kaspersky this is definitely the problem
At some time in the past you used this computer to jailbreak, unlock or otherwise hack ANY iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad - if this applies to you your hosts file is corrupt and you will have to edit it and remove any lines that contain "gs.apple.com"

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iphone but under Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone. How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

Stream to airport express other sources than itunes

I would like to stream some other sources than itunes to my airport express. Ideally any thing that would other wise be played by my pc speakers.... i.e. YouTube etc....
Can we do that? NAy idea where I could get the software?
Question for MAC & Window based PC
Thx for ideas !
regadrs

Check out Airfoil. That streams sound to Airport Express. Because of the way the Airport Express processes the sound, there's going to be a delay, especially if you're planning on watching Videos.
The guys that make Airfoil, say they've fixed that issue with Version 3 that will be out soon. No word on a release date. Here is the website.

HT204161 I want to use iCloud for every thing else except for Messages. I do not want to send an iMessage and receive it on both my iPhone and Mac.

I want to use iCloud for every thing else except for Messages. I do not want to send an iMessage and receive it on both my iPhone and Mac.
How do I do that?

Howdy kingtonz,
If I understand you correctly, you want to limit to limit your use of the Messages application to non-iCloud sources such as text messaging through your phone carrier, is that right?
You can turn off the use of iMessages in Settings > Messages > iMessage. See this help article -
Messages settings - iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Using iWeb on other servers than dot MAC?

Can people confirm that one can use iWeb with other servers than Apple's dot Mac site? The fine print says: *iWeb publishing requires Internet and webserver access (.Mac recommended). So from that I guess it is feasible but is it easy to set up?
Thanks
Rudy

After the sales rep at the Apple store confirmed vehemently that I would lose no functionality publishing to my own server, I was disappointed to discover this was not the case.
I wanted to use my own webserver, since there is a perfectly capable apache server already running on my iMac. I do understand that Apple wants to sell their dotmac product, but they have stranded too many users with their approach on iWeb.
I upgraded to iLife 06 specifically for iWeb, and I feel cheated by the withdrawal of functionality unless I buy their dotmac product.

Db-cascade-delete for other databases than Oracle?

I have two entity beans with a one to many relationship. The database designers have implemented a cascading delete between the two tables for the entity beans. How should the deployment descriptors be written for this to work properly? From what I understand I will need to use the <cascade-delete /> tag in ejb-jar.xml and <db-cascade-delete /> in weblogic-cmp-jar.xml. However this document http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ejb/entity.html states that <db-cascade-delete /> only works for Oracle, and I'm using DB2. Does this mean that I have to remove the cascading delete in the database and only enable it in ejb-jar.xml, or will <db-cascade-delete /> work for other databases than Oracle?
/Björn

To get the certified answer I'd ask a tech support rep. Unofficially, if DB2 supports cascade delete then I would expect that the EJB container will work with that. There are issues surrounding certification of features against specific databases and I'm not up on all of these so I'd check with support.

What do you think about using exceptions for something more than errors

if you look the java.lang.Exception description at the JDK javadoc, you can see the following text:
"The class Exception and its subclasses are a form of Throwable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch."
... we can�t see "error" word anywhere!!
What do you think about using exceptions for something more than errors? Can be possible use them as a way for send information to upper layers?
Thankx in regards...

it seems that what you say is a functional way of achiveing that, yes
but Exceptions are generally reserverd for "Exceptional" situations ie program messing up or invalid data
it does require a fair bit of processor time to actually generate and throw an Exception.
so, all in all its "better" to use "normal" condition flow control to achive what you want.. you can always return early, break loops, call methods to pass information

Command button opens mission control, so I can't use it for other shortcuts

I have only had my macbook air for a few weeks, and I think I may have fiddled with settings before I had any clue what I was doing, as now every time I press the command key, it opens mission control, and I can't use command for other shortcuts... What have I done wrong and how do I undo it??? Help much appreciated!

I am having this issue, too, and Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't fix it, as I have not assigned Command to anything. It just states at the bottom "for additional choices press Shift, Control, Option, or Command," but doesn't seem to allow me to change these. Do you know of a way?
