Windows 8.1 Pro Lowering Music Volume When Running...

Hello All,
On my Windows 8.1 pro computer i like to listen to music and talk to my buddies, but whenever the Music app is in the background or a game starts, the music suddenly decreases to 80%. I have selected the "Do Nothing" tab so dont tell me that. I also unchecked "allow applications to take exclusive control over this device". My computer is new, no steam no teamspeak like that, and I use the skype the pc came with.
Thanks

Windows 8.1 Pro cannot log into RemoteApp running on Windows Server 2012 R2

I have setup a vm running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and have enabled multiple RemoteApps. Everything is setup correctly and I can use RD Web Access to access the portal and connect to the remoteapps from any computer except my own. I am
running Windows 8.1 Pro and when I log into the RD Web Access portal, click on one of the apps, it looks like it's loading the session, but gets stuck on Preparing Windows. Everything else up to that point looks like it loads correctly, (i.e. -
Applying Group Policy Settings, applying desktop, etc...). When I log into my Windows 7 dev machine, I can access and run everything just fine. So there must be something between the Windows 8 and 2012 that isn't working quite right.
I have tried logging into the portal as myself and test users...same result.
any ideas?
Jon Wooten

i think there is something in your GPOs or collection settings causing an issue
this happens with any remote app, built-in stuff like notepad or just third party apps?
try not doing any kind of printer/device redirection from that host
you can also do winlogon logging to get a better idea of what's going on during the logon operation
you can also use the verbose logon messages GPO to get detailed login status info
if all else fails I think you need to isolate it by creating a test collection and test user with the bare minimum options

My macbook pro gets very hot when running anything like games or videos

I just bought a macbook pro 2.3 GHZ i7 with retina display. It gets very hot when running just about anything of substance. When I run a game like candy crush, the temperature can get to 167 or more. I installed istat menus and started monitoring it. I did notice that the fans never went on but after istats I was able to make them come on. Without having a game going, the temperatures hover around 100. Once the game starts, it goes crazy.
I don't really know what the problem could be or if this is normal (it really can't be....This is way too hot). I have owned the computer for about 2 months and I need to know what to do.

MacBook Pro doesn't hibernate when runs out of battery

Dear all,
I've been experiencyng this issue for quite a while now and is very frustrating. My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doens't go to sleep as it should when runs out of battery. It simply dies. This is not a continuous issues as it happens 1/2 oh the times that battery runs out and I cannot connect it to power (low battery warning is also working perfectly).
Mac is stock besides HDD (now SSD) and RAMs. Battery stock as well and loks good in sysinfo (attached):

It doesn't at all appear to be a HW issues, as batteries behaves normally and system sleeps corretcly at times. Indeed, seems to be a software issue as also running a pm set command in terminal after mac died returned this result:

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all,
Thnk you for the reply.
@andyBall: I though that the battery might run out sooner than what it reports, however it typically behaves behaves quite well - 5+ hours after fully charged and approximately 10 minutes of operation after low battery warning. Very hard that battery is running out before the system realize that. Yet I have to try the SMC reset. Will revert.
@SilverSkyRat: I have one iCloud and one Gmail for work. Today I have disabled both and OS hibernated well (no failure). Later in the day I reactivated Gmail and system still hibernated fine. I mainly use the Mac for work therefore it's rather difficult to perform continus test of this kind. Although, system somtimes hibernates fine with also all account active.
General question, which are the program associated with "Address Book Source Sync"? Only "Contacts"?
Also, I have Little Snitch on the computer, may this be anyhow linked with this issue in your opinion/experience?
Best regards,
Alex

How do I stop my MacBook Pro getting so hot when running VMWare?

I've a late 2011 MacBook Pro, i7, 8Gb.
It seems it doesn't take much to start the fans whirring - which has been the same since day one.
However, what really does send it into meltdown, is VMWare. I sometimes run Windows 7 on VMWare & am very concerned about the heat and noise generated.
I'm willing to take a hit on speed if there's a way to cool things down - any ideas?

Hey there!! Same problem here..

Opening iTunes64Setup.exe on my Windows 7 64-bit system does nothing when running as normal or administrator user. Nothing means no error messages - just nothing.

I'm trying to install iTunes64Setup.exe (10.7.0.21) version on my Windows 7 system and nothing happens with I try to run the exe. If I run as admin, I get the UAC dialog andclick ok - and nothing happens after that. When I downloaded the exe, I went to the Properties for the setup file and clicked the Unblock button so to get around some of the other issues that people reported - no luck running. I tried running Microsoft FixIt for installation issues - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/ and no luck after that. In all cases, I try to open it - the mouse cursor spins for less than a second - and nothing happens. I don't see any processes running in Task Manager. I've also tried manually starting the Windows Modular Installer and then running setup. I've tried downloading the exe from another computer to see if it was a bad download and both files do the same thing. The size of the downloaded file is 76.7 MB (80,521,624 bytes). I was able to run the same exe from my other computer running Windows 7 64-bit OS.
Help!

ok - I setup with a clean boot using msconfig.exe as suggested and disabled all the Microsoft Services and unchecked the Load Startup items, accepted the changes and rebooted. I then tried running the itunes64setup.exe again, and this time - there was a very slight change in behavior - a thin dialog - what looked like a progress indicated displayed on my main display for about .5 sec and then went away - no text in the box. I ran setup again - this time from a USB stick - the little progress indicator stayed up on the screen for about 1.5 sec and I could see a grren bar on the left grow about 1/10th into the progress bar until in disapperared and nothing else happened. What's next?
Thanks,
Bill

Music skips when running slideshow in iPhot0 8

I created a slideshow in Iphoto 8 and when I play it any music I select from Itunes (burned from a CD and not purchased on Itunes) skips about every 10 seconds. I've tried several songs and they all do the same thing. When I play the same songs on Itunes they do not skip. I have also tried running other slideshows and the problem occurs in them as well.
Apple just replaced my power supply thinking that it was defective and overloaded while running a slideshow with music and it did not resolve the problem. I have 4gb of ram and a large HD which is only half utilized. Can anyone offer a solution?
thanks for your help!

Let's try the long shot fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps. It's fixed other issues that were seemingly unrelated to a preference file.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

FF4b7's window gradually 'blacks out' so to speak when running Flash objects.

The window's elements may turn black immediately upon playing, say, a YouTube video. They may also black out when hovering over items like buttons in a toolbar (after Flash has started usually). Happens often.
[IMG]http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm270/warfang866/FF4b7blackout.png[/IMG]
The only way to fix it is to close the browser. I was able to click the close button in the title bar to do this, even though it had already turned black.

Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

Brand new macbook pro retina - fan noise when running hola?

Hi everyone, I need some help here please!
I have a brand new macbook pro retina 13 - just bought in January this year - and have had no problems so far apart from the wifi dropping occassionally.
So I just downloaded hola unblocker for firefox but whenever I stream anything using it on netflix my fan starts whirring so loudly - it's never even made a noise before! and I can feel the base of the mac getting hotter. So I've closed hola/firefox and it stops after a minute or so. I've tried a few times again with the same problem.
I'm just using it to watch US netflix so probably not technically legal anyway.... but other friends manage it no bother - do mac's just know I'm doing something wrong? haha
Thanks for any advice.

Try running Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder). Click the Energy button at the top and then stream a video. Watch the Energy Impact.
I suspect what you'll see is that your rMBP is doing a lot of work while you're streaming the video, and that makes it get hot. The fan struggles to dissipate the resulting heat in order to prevent damage and makes noise in the process.
It may also have a guilty conscience.

Windows 8.1 Pro Will Not Join Domain

Hello,
I know this a bit lengthy, but hopefully all the details will better help you guys understand my problem.
We just purchased an HP Pavilion Windows 8.1 laptop for our office along with the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack upgrade. When I went to install the pro upgrade, it accepted my key and started the upgrade process, but before the install completed, an error was generated
that stated "Something went wrong. " No error code was generated. I restarted the laptop, it did some updates, and when I logged back in, I checked under the computer properties and noticed that the OS version was changed to Windows 8.1 Pro with
Media Center, so I assumed that it installed. I checked for corrupted files in the command prompt and no corrupted files were found.
So, the next thing I tried to do was join the laptop to our domain. I have joined XPs, Vistas, and 7s with no problems, but for some reason, Windows 8.1 does not want to join the domain. Just to be clear, I have the laptop plugged in via ethernet and the
wifi off, I checked that the DNS of the laptop matched the DNS of the server, and all firewalls have been disabled. It seems to find the domain, but when it asks for the credentials to join the server, it returns an error stating that the domain could not
be contacted or information was entered incorrectly. I know I am entering the correct credentials because, just to test, I created a new user account on a different machine and used the credentials to join the server. I pinged the server from the laptop and
vice-versa, and all packets were received with no errors, so I know that they are "seeing" each other. Also, If I join the laptop to a Workgroup instead of the domain, I am able to access the server using the same credentials that it will not accept
when attempting to join the domain.
I am baffled. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I had exactly the same issue as above. When I rebooted my machine, it now shows that the upgrade to Pro Pack with media center is installed.
Haven't tried adding to a domain yet... will post an update when/if it fails. No reply means it joined fine after rebooting it from a failed attempt as above. I suspect that this had something to do with the fact that I had just logged
on to the machine and ran setup for the first time.
Reboot after setting up the computer for the first time, then proceed with the upgrade to 8.1 Pro Pack and I suspect that this issue won't occur.

Keeping the volume when converting an AIFF file to MP3

Hello,
I use Garageband to make a podcast that I then send to iTunes. Within iTunes I get the name, artist, date etc. set, then I convert the AIFF to an MP3.
However, I have noticed that the volume of the converted MP3 file is significantly lower than the original AIFF. I have tried converting to AAC and the same applies.
The volume of the original AIFF seems perfect to me... How can I get the MP3 file to be at the same level when converting?
Thanks in advance...

The only thing I can think of is that you have Sound Check enableb and so it is lowering the volume when you convert to keep it the same as the rest of your library. Try turning it off.
It is also possible that having it off could cause the same problem, so if it is off, try turning it on and see what happens.
To check the status of Sound Check, go to the Playback tab in Preferences.

Secondary monitor on 20"iMac, How to set portrait orientation when running

How do you set the display rotation in Windows XP?
I have a secondary monitor (wall-mounted at 90 degrees to normal) that OS X handles just fine (the display preference window provides a rotate function). However, when running Windows XP, the secondary monitor is still available, but I can not find a setting that will rotate the display. I downloaded the Apple Boot Camp ATI driver from AMD's site and the driver version went from 8.39 to 8.43. Still no visible way to rotate the secondary display. I then upgraded Boot Camp to 2.1 after which the ATI driver version went to 8.45. Still no rotate functionality.
I have tried using the ALT-OPTION-ARROW key with no success (recommended on some obscure Windows XP forum). I also downloaded the Apple Boot Camp Crystal Control Center from the AMD site, but it would not execute after installation (this upon yet another obscure recommendation).
I also have Windows XP on my MacBook. It uses an NVIDIA driver and it will allow display rotation.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Updating my original post:
I have resolved the issue. The ATI Catalyst Control Center app (I meant Catalyst, not Crystal in my original post) needs Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0, which was not included in my original Windows XP installation.
After downloading and installing the .NET Framework 2.0 package and reinstalling the Catalyst Control Center app, I am now able to rotate the secondary monitor display to the portrait orientation.
I use the secondary monitor primarily viewing on-line documentation while working with an application on the primary screen. The portrait orientation provides a much better environment for reading documentation as I can view 2+ pages at the same time.

RemoteFX issue when running Multipoint Server 2012 Premium as VM on Hyper-V

I have a server setup running Hyper-V 2012. I made a Multipoint 2012 Premium VM and added RemoteFX. After installing I went to Device Manager on the VM and noticed that the display adapter was showing as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and
there was an unknown device which I assume is the RemoteFX 3D adapter. I updated the integration services and ran Windows Updates, but still cannot get RemoteFX to show up properly in the VM.
Does Windows Multipoint Server 2012 not support RemoteFX when running as a VM? I can't really run this on bare metal since I am looking at supporting more than 20 stations and therefore would need to run multiple instances virtualized on
the same server running Hyper-V.

The server I have setup for this test is a Dell R720 and the video card is an AMD FirePro S7000. I am using the latest stable AMD FirePro driver (ver. 13.352.1006.1001).
I also went ahead and setup a Dell OptiPlex 7010 with an AMD Radeon 5450 (which is DirectX11). I setup Server 2012 Hyper-V and again with Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V. Both times I was unable to add the RemoteFX 3D adapter. I am beginning to
think that it is not possible.
Are you running Multipoint 2012 server virtualized on top of Hyper-V with RemoteFX enabled in the virtualized server (and showing so in Device Manager)?
