Why does my airplay disconect sometimes

While listening to music on macbook pro (no retina display) through airplay-appletv. Randomly, the icon will change from black to blue and return to playing through macbook speakers, and not through tv-stereo reciever-speakers.
What could cause this. I dont know where to start. Thank you!

Usually caused by network interference. You can verify by going to istumbler.net

Why does the "Computer Name" sometimes change?

                Not a big deal, just curious, why does the "computer name" sometimes change?
                 The name will be the same, but it will add a number....2,3,4...I always change it back so it doesn't have a numeric value next to it, but just wondering why it happens.
                                        Thanks.

Can also occur after your computer is put to sleep and then wakes back up or after your computer is force quit and immediately restarted. Sometimes the router 'believes' the computer is still connected when it actually isn't. When that computer re-establishes a connection the router 'tells' the computer that a computer with that name already exists so it has to change its name. By default a computer running MacOS adds a number (or increments its number) when this happens.

Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn

Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit. Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.

I have an airport extreme 2013. Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices? I want it to always display the device names.

I have an airport extreme 2013. Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices? I want it to always display the device names.

The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.
Fing network scanner. iphone and ipad.

This is very popular.. I do not know of what works well on Mac OS because i have installed 5.6 utility which of course has far more info than the later toy version. Plus using an Asus router which has excellent listing of all the clients.
Sometimes beating yourself up to make apple routers do what you want is easier solved with lateral thinking.

Why does 4.0.1 sometimes start acroread (no pdf) & leave running?

Sometimes FF 4.0.1. starts up Acroread32, despite the fact that no PDF documents are involved in the display.
On exit, I find that Acroread is still left running and has to be killed.
Why does it start up and
why does FF not clean up after use?
Thanks,
Les.

I've found the "problem", although I don't understand it.
If I export using Quicktime conversion, go to Options->Size and select "HD 1280x720 16:9", it does what I was explaining - trims and stretches the video.
If I select just "1280x720", it does not, and the video exported is identical to the video imported.
Don't understand why the "HD" options are different, but at least my problem is solved.

Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...

Why does the AirPlay selection disappear with iTunes radio?

Usually there is a selector icon next to the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window that lets you choose among speakers and airplay devices. Why does this icon disappear when an iTunes radio station starts playing? After doing some trial and error, the option only disappears for certain stations.

I used iTunes open stream at http://kera-ice.streamguys.us/keraliveaacplus.m3u
works fine

Why does the same pdf sometimes open in Photoshop with a white bkgd and sometimes transparent?

I am opening the same pdf file on two different computers with the same version of photoshop. Why does it open with a transparent background on one computer and a white background on the other? Is there any way to force it to open with a transparent background? Thanks.
Loni

You have different versions of the shared PDF libraries on the different systems and/or different settings on PDF handling, most likely. This can affect transparency. The PDF libraries are shared between Adobe apps, so this may be dependent on anotehr program having changed something in that area...

Why does the airplay icon not appear after upgrading to Mavericks on my iMac.

I am using an Apple TV, iPad 2, and an iMac with wifi sharing enabled. Before upgrading to mavericks I was easily able to use airplay to mirror the display of my ipad2 to a projector. After the upgrade the airplay icon will dispear. When I restart the wifi sharing on my imac then the airplay icon will reappear on my ipad.
Does anyone have a fix for this. I use this in my classroom and this problem made yesterdays lesson almost undoable because students were givng presentations and each time a student wanted to project thier ipad screen I had to reset my wifi.

Why does opening a pdf sometimes default to gedit with no option of using evince?

When opening a pdf from a Microsoft Help Attribute Definition File source, Firefox defaults to gedit instead of evince in FF 17.0.1, Ubuntu 12.10. This is a regression as previous versions had no such issue.
My preferences are OK; set to evince for pdf and nowhere does gedit appear in preferred application for any file type.

This two points on this issue can help Ubuntu users. ''First option'', let gedit intent to open the file, then close gedit after the error notification. Then, go to "Places » Recent Documents" and you can open immediately the downloaded pdf file with your system default app. ''Second approach'': Install the add-on "User Agent Switcher", and let Firefox identify itself as «Internet Explorer», then, you can open the pdf file normally with the reader settled in Firefox preferences. This worked for me, conclusions why this is so are left for granted.

Why does the Safari window sometimes open with a 1/4 inch gap along the bottom when the desktop shows through?

I am using a 15 inch Macbook Pro i7 2.66 GHZ. 8 GB ram. 500 GB hard drive. OS 10.6.8. All updates are done on a regular basis.
Sometimes when I open Safari the window leaves a small 1/4 inch gap along the bottom. In this gap you can see the desktop. This is instead of the Safari window taking up the entire screen. When you click on the green button on the top left then it will open in the entire screen and the 1/4 inch gap is gone. This does not happen all the time but is annoying and I don't feel it should be happening. Does anyone know the solution so this stops happening and has anyone else ran into this?

it's the space for your dock. if your mouse enters that area, the dock will appear. if the window just went to the bottom, it would always initiate the dock whenever you had your mouse at the bottom of the conent window. This is un intuitive and I'm sure apple did this so you wouldn't initiate the dock.
This has become more intuitive in Lion and the dock pops up when you're at the absolute bottom of the page. which is what Sig and myself are both using.
I've also noticed it will adjust the window to the content. are the pages you're going to small in content and therefore wouldn't stretch all the way to the bottom of your screen? like a login page or a splash page? I have notice maximize will adjust the width of the window to ASC even after I had it taking up the whole screen before toggling the green button. Hope this helps!

Why does my leopard server sometime come up as a networked PC?

I have an iMac G5 with a fresh install of leopard... everything is working great... but sometimes and I cannot see any rhyme or reason to it, but it will come up in my shared list (bonjour shared) as a little PC monitor icon as opposed to it's iMac icon... seems like something is happening here that I just don't understand....
when it does come up as that I cannot login and connect to it for file sharing... anything I should check out?

If you're trying to change the "From" name, to change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
