Why do certain applications take over sound?

I'm running mavericks, I think that has to do with the problem.
When i'm running team-speak and face-time for example. face-time will automatically lower out the sound of team-speak so I can only hear face-time.
also goes for other applications as well as when I'm on team-viewer it pushes out team-speak so i can not hear that as well.
is it possible to stop this from happening?
for some reason as well when i'm on team-viewer it can not hear the sounds from my mac and i think its because it pushes out the other sounds so other team-viewer can be heard.

If you're using Lion, and the apps open automatically when you start up/log in, it's down to one of two things. Either
a) you had the application open when you shut down last time, or
b) you have that application set to open automatically.
If you don't want (a) happening, either quit the application completely before you shut down, or turn off all app resuming through System Preferences - General - untick "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
If the apps re-open even if you quit them before shutting down, check System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items. Delete any programs from the list that you don't want auto-launching when you log in.

Why are certains applications not available in South African App Store?

Why are certain applications such as Google Earth, Google Mobile App, and most games not available in the South African App Store.
We speak English so localisation should not be a problem.
I'm sure there are no legal reasons why these applications are not available here, as we have desktop equivalents for most of them.
Why does South Africa have to have a diminished iPhone experience?

No idea.
You would have to ask Apple and/or the company that makes the app and/or - most likely - the Government of your country.
I'm sure Apple and the app developer would love to sell more apps.
Since this is a user forum, made up of iphone users, like you - there is nothing we can do about it.
Sorry.

Why does the keyboard take over and type c's all across the search box (no hands involved)?

Why does the keyboard take over and type c's across the search box (no hands involved)?

There are only three possibilities. Either a dangling hand hitting the c key, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and something is pressing a key, or you have some bad harware. Eliminate the first two, and if you still have the problem, take it in for service or replacement

Why do rented films take over an hour to buffer?

After a new software update on my Apple TV, rented movies take over an hour to buffer. Everything was fine before the update, so my Internet speed must be ok

Have you checked your internet speed (you can use speedtest.net to do this). Have you considered an issue on your local network, could you be experiencing interference, have you checked for unused wifi channels (you can do this with iStumbler) or tried using another wifi channel.

Fadeout iTunes when another sound application takes over

I like to leave my itunes playing music in the backround while i browse the internet (facebook, youtube, ect...) is there a way to make itunes automatically fadeout music when another application uses sound (like playing a video on youtube).

First off, I meant to title this "When switching spaces application window is not showing."
Just in case anyone else runs into this problem or any other weirdness with switching between spaces, the answer seems to be trashing the com.apple.dock.plist file and then restarting the dock. The preferences file can evidentially get corrupted and create some problems. Spaces does not have it's own plist file but stores it's data in the dock's plist file. Be warned that this will reset all of your dock preferences including which apps you have on the dock.

Why does certain PDF take longer to display?

I have two multi page (mainly containing drawings) pdf approx 80MB each.
File A, is a scanned file with approximately 60pages, whereas File B, is a published file from (I assume an CAD system) with approx 400pages.
In File A I can scroll and zoom very quickly and page rendering delays are almost zero. Whereas in File B scrolling to the next page takes 10s of seconds. My job requires me to "flick" through the drawings and zoom in and out very often and therefore making the use of Acrobat and PDF very difficult. These type of files are needing to be printed, which cause great delays at the printer.
Understanding why it happens may help in the next step of reprocessing of the PDF to increase the rendering speed.
Thanks.

If the pages are scans, there is probably just a single image per page, so there's only a single object on that page. CAD drawing can have hundreds to many thousands of individual vector and text objects that need to be redrawn when the view changes, and this can take a lot of time.

Why does Adobe take over? Part 2

Why does Adobe take over Part 2: I attempted to use http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acrobat.html and on download got a box that said, Quitting Raise without Handler!
Oh, and I had to uninstall the whole thing anyway just to be able to get to the Internet. Any Adobe icon I hit tells me that there is nothing attached to it.

May be you can try other solutions mentioned in the link.

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:

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call.

Why does it take over two hours to download a movie on Apply tv

Why does it take over two hours to download a movie on Apple TV
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

Why does Adobe take over?

When I download Adobe Reader it takes over my computer, turning every icon into an Adobe one and killing it. I have tried the download in Chrome, Mozilla and now IE, uninstalling after every attempt.

Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects?

Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects? It's never done this before, but this is driving me nuts. I'm almost finished with this project, I can't have this kind of stuff happening now.

Forgive me. I'm just stressing hardcore at the moment.
Specs:
OS X 10.9.4
2.8 GHz intel
Premiere 5.5
exporting cell phone video which has been treated with effects and layered with other clips from cell phone video, then nested as one single video clip, now trying to export as H.264 (DV 24fps)
Full disclosure: I am an amateur so if you need more info just tell me and I'll produce it if I can. I should note though, I've done this before with no problem. However the settings may have been different (still getting the hang of the whole 'settings' thing, to be honest). It's very possible that the problem in this case is the operator, in other words.
