What app-specific audio controllers are there?

In Tiger, one of the most useful utilities I used was Detour - in there I could adjust the output volume for different apps. For example iTunes 100% (iTunes has its own vol control anyway), system alerts 50% (so I could still hear incoming mail at a low pitch). However its biggest use was for Safari as UNBELIEVABLY Apple still doesn't think a separate Safari volume is needed. Oh yes it is! Especially when listening to music while browsing, & visiting one of those moron websites that insists on either playing noisy adverts, or a music piece, or god knows what else. (Though having said that, Mozilla doesn't think one is needed for Slofox either. ) I used Detour to mute Safari.
Sadly, Detour is no longer supported and doesn't run in Leopard. Does anyone know of another freeware or shareware utility that does the same job? It's been clear for at least 5 years, probably more, that browsers need their own separate volume control.

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.

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

The various Lynda.com video tutorials are very good, but you have to pay for a description. The Photoshop User TV podcasts are excellent; there are hundreds of them, and they are free. They are also what the iPad was invented for.
The 'You suck at Photoshop' videos on YouTube are both very funny and very instructive.
The Scott Kelby books are very good for folk starting out. The Martin Evening, and the Martin Evening/Jeff Schewe books are as good as they get from a photography point of view. The Steve Caplin books are the best Photoshop books once you get into it, but Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski do some great medium to advanced books. Matt's Compositing Secrets is excellent, and was Amazon's best Photoshop book for a while.

You have to have the special SiriusXM account for listening and you must have a regular SiriusXM subscription. Cost is around $15.00 per month. The Live365 app only requires a $7.95 per month subscription and provides much more than SiriusXM.

Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed.

What free inventive fax contrivances are there to receive a fax on an iMac?

Receiving faxes online free.
Regarding the free contrivances, what free inventive fax contrivances are there to receive a fax online?... for viewing the fax on an iMac.
Offices that still use fax.
Medical centers, government offices and from time to time corporate offices' staff want to send information by fax!

A USB modem is one which has a USB connection at one end and a telephone line connection at the other, the USB one (obviously) being plugged into your computer. Most modems are this type: the one you mentioned unusually also has an ethernet connection (as you use for your network). (A modem, in this context, is a device which turns the digital output from your computer into a succession of bleeping noises which can be sent down a telephone line - and vice versa. It stands for MOdulate-DEModulate and was the standard way of connecting to the Internet during the Dark Ages. Fax machines use a similar method and most modems can pretend to be a fax machine.)
A driver is a piece of software enabling your computer to recognize and talk to a piece of external equipment, such as a printer or a modem. Most devices connecting to USB need such a driver (there are exceptions but modems are not among them). The manufacturer of the modem you linked to provides drivers for Windows but not for Macs, so the USB connection won't work. The ethernet connection might: you would have to ask them.
The Apple USB modem connects easily because the driver is built into the System, but it's no longer made and you may have some difficulty finding one. if you can it's the best bet.

Audio files are there, but there is no sound. Final Cut v1.0.1

I have been working on a project in Final cut express v1.0.1 for a few days. At first, there were no problems with audio, then I tried to open the file on a friends machine using final cut 2 (my final cut program and scratch disc are on an external drive). I was prompted to update my project so it would be FC2 compatible and I chose not to. We were not able to view the project on my friend's machine. When I try to play the project now, there is no sound even though all audio files are in place.
It might be worthwhile to note that before trying to view the project on my friend's machine I created a "final cut movie file" which will play with audio on either machine in Quicktime but not in Final cut.
Any help or advice about what I should do to fix this would be much apreciated, Thanks.

Thank you for the response but unfortunately it did not resolve my problem, View>Video is set to real time and not firewire (the options are greyed out and cant be selected but there is a check by "Real Time" regardless)
Still unable to get sound, thanks for the attempt.

What app plays audio previews in Finder

When I'm in column view in Finder I can play any audio file right from Finder without actually opening the file or any application. So what app is used to play these audio files?

I'm not sure, but Finder itself may be running the previews, perhaps using Quicktime-related system library components, but not opening QuickTime player or any other stand-alone app. When I look in Activity Monitor, Finder CPU utilization goes from near-zero to about 13% when an Audio preview is playing, and no new process seems to start running in Activity Monitor. The same large increase in Finder CPU utilization is seen in Activity Monitor when a movie file is previewed.

Hi everyone, I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support a multiple monitor set-up (additional two screens)? If so what do I need and are there any draw backs?

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support multiple monitor set-up (an additional two screens)? I am not a gamer, so require the set-up for 'office suite' type work and video viewing. if the set-up is possible, what would I need, is it pretty straight forward and are there any draw backs?
Thank you.

I just purchased the same imac. I connected the other displays using a thunderbolt to dvi adapter and it works fine.

What other Firefox derivative versions are there?

In light of the recent important security upgrade, I was wondering what other Firefox-based browsers (forks or otherwise) may be affected and what their status is. Is there an online resource listing them?
Several are listed on this WIkipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Web_browsers_based_on_Firefox
* Timberwolf (abandoned)
* TorBrowser (unknown)
* Palemoon (active)
* Switfox (abandoned?)
* TenFourFox (active, fixed version available)
* Timberwolf (abandoned)
* Waterfox
* Iceweasel (active, fixed in Debian stable)
* Icecat (active: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2014-09/msg00008.html)
If any others exist I'd like to know about them.

This looks like a Firefox version based on Firefox 31 ESR (Iceweasel/31.1.0), so check if there is a 31.1.1 version available.
Firefox 31.1.1 ESR:

What a horrible camera. Are there any tweaks?

I'm not a big fan of phone cameras, as I'm a former semi-pro photographer, but I am having real problems with the Passport camera. Here is a summary of my issues, and I would appreciate if anyone is not having problems what their settings are, or if anyone is aware of hacks to imrpove it.
My settings are: HDR Off, 1:1 ratio; Flash Off (unless I need it), Auto Scene.
Detailed settings, which I've played with a lot and have not noted any significant improvement, are:
Face Detection ON, Auto Suggest OFF, Save On Media Card, Display Grid Lines (I am really impressed that this is there); Dave Original for HDR pictures; Video Stabilization ON, Continuous Vide Focus, Geotag Pictures ON.
1) Camera is very slow to focus and take pictures. This is most notable in low light. It often takes 2 seconds from snap to shot. Almost impossible to take shots of young grandkids!
2) Many shots in normal light are slight soft, as if they were out of focus. Only shots truly sharp are those in bright light and no moving objects.
3) Flash is horendous. It first comes on very bright, blinds subjects, then flashes when shot is taken, then comes on again (presumably to focus for next shot). Subjects generally have eyes closed because of the bright light.
4) Fake camera sound is on all the time. It's fake since there is no real shutter, there should be a way to turn it off.
5) No exposure control
6) No meaningful scenes. I suppose that Auto Scene takes some time to decide which scene setting to use, but the manual choices don't include the normal ones that a Kodak Brownie came with - Sunlight; Overcast; and Evening.
My experience having taken a few hundred shots (I don't really take videos) is that I only have a couple of dozen that I would consider good, and another couple of dozen that are OK.
I've done head to head comparisons with iPhone 4S, iPhone 6, HTC ONE, and Torch 9810. IMO all are better than Passport (although not from a specs perspective), with the 5 year old Torch being the least better, and the iPhone 6 being the best.

Torch 9810; PlayBook 64g; iPad1 64g; iPad2 64g; iPhone6 64g Passport
Provider Bell (tablets all WiFi)

Use 16:9 ratio, auto flash, auto scene. Unless in low lighted areas like inside, then switch to night mode.
In settings I use 1080p at 60fps on video. And all other options are on except gridlines and save original.
My opinions,
To speed focus up, tap the screen on the object you want to be focused on to. If you long press on the object it locks the focus.
Also try using the time shift capture. You can always come back and pick the best shot at a later date.
Also try going into the editing options for photos. The auto edit option does wonders sometimes.
Other then that, there is one phone I know personally that blows even the IPhone out of the water when taking photos. LG G3 with laser focus. It's the fastest camera I've ran across yet. It's so fast at opening up and focusing you'd almost never loose a moment in time. My wife owns one and I tease her that I have a better phone being the Passport, but she has a killer camera that blows me out of the water.

NI 5938 I/O card (1998) - What does it do and are there doc's avail?

I found this card in an old computer we are tossing and I thought it might still be useful. The problem is that I am not entirely sure what it does. I would guess that it is some type of basic I/O card. The only labels are: 'National Instruments 1998' and '5938'. I searched the NI support doc's but had no luck finding it. Does anyone know anything about this card or how I could get some detailed information about it?

Hi all.
     I still have 3 PCI 5938 boards saved,,
     I work wirh them some years ago...   around 10 years back
     Is a 50 line digitaL I/O.. TTL not isotated channel to channel it was a low cost board and work very good with my application (LabVIEW)
     There is no more support and avaialable,
      To use it with need a desktop computer with PCI bus,,,   and the driver,   Im not sure if I have a version with the drivers
       Best Regards.

How can I find out what apps I've purchased are stored in the cloud

I changed phones and am trying to find out if the apps that I have purchased on my iPhone are stored in the cloud so I can bring them down to my ipod touch.

Unless they've been removed from the iTunes Store, they'll be available in the iCloud; click here and follow the instructions. Note that a few iOS applications won't work on an iPod touch.

What page break output options are there?

So I've confirmed that Acrobat XI Pro will allow me to take a 1000 invoice PDF and spit it every set number of pages (as well as other page break options) but what I don't know is how the output options work.
When Acrobat XI Pro is doing the page breaks, would it be able to find the invoice number from each invoice and assign that as the new file name? Is there a place where I can read up more about the output file naming options?

I know I can extract pages from a pdf document. What I'm trying to do is divide a 1000 invoice PDF into it's individual PDFs without having to manualy extract and rename each invoice one at a time.
I've already confirmed the capacity to divide the entire document along various page break options (like every 3 pages) but what I don't know is the naming options. Is there a way to have it select the invoice from each particular page header/section and have it use that when saving/exporting each set of pages?

What app-specific audio controllers are there?
