Apple TV, iMac and Sound Preferences
Hi, I tried to switch playing music in iTunes from Apple TV back to my iMac desktop. The sound preferences window, didn't show the iMac as a choice . I turned off the Apple TV and that didn't change anything. I then restarted the iMac and low and behold sound was available as a choice on the iMac. Is there some way to avoid this process of switching from Apple TV back to iMac? Hopefully I didn't miss something obvious! iTunes 11.0.5 iMac 27 late 2009 3.06GHz System OSX 10.8.5 Thanks Marcus Marcus Harris P.O.

Restart Problem
Hi All, I run a setup with two screens and 4 Desktops. My problem is that after a restart the system does not remember either the display arraignment or the Desktop contents. In other words I must completely rebuild the setup each time. I do a lot of software development and the time it takes to rebuild is expensive... I almost never restart or power down, but it came up again this time when I ran the Combo upgrade to OSX 10.5.8. I followed Ronni's suggestions to the letter. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

battery testing
Good morning all, Just replaced my bluetooth keyboard batteries. The method below actually works. Worth watching the 90 sec. clip. Pretty cool.

Re: iPod Classic Battery finaly dead
Hello All I have an Ipod classic circa dec 2008 made enquires local apple service centre in Tas response; as we are a certified apple repair center we are not allowed to replace battery.

I think as long as you purchase from a reliable vendor that states the battery will fit your particular model, you will be ok.

What is your iPod's model number (located on the rear of the iPod)? eg: Model A1059 - 4th Generation; A1136 - 5th generation? I have a feeling that the 2005 iPod 4th Generation or Photo Model A1059 or A1099 / 20, 40, or 60 GB hard drive / touch sensitive click wheel had rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) 900 mAh Battery.

It has served me well as my music player. It has a serial number which end SAZ. I discovered that Apple will charge me $65 for a battery and probably $200 for the service. If I can get the right battery, a local hero will instal it for $49. I discovered a website in the US batteryupgrade.com, which will sell one for A$40.86 delivered. The question I am asking is can anyone tell me which battery I need as there seems to be a 1200mAh HiCap and a 900mAh. I suppose I could order tham both and still be well ahead, but I would prefer to get it right first time. Any one know? Cheers *Marcus* Marcus Harris P.O.

Re: Apple TV, iMac and Sound Preferences
Hello Marcus I have no problems with the various options of playing music around my home network. I can't replicate your problem. How are you attempting to switch music from AppleTV back to the iMac? Is this a new problem since, say, OSX 10.8.5 update? Are you referring to Apple Preferences - Sound, the Apple TV Settings, or the iTunes icon to choose which speakers to use? Do you initially choose the music from AppleTV/television or from iTunes? If you switch via the iTunes icon, then are your various devices visible initially?I have choice of Computer, AppleTV or Airport Express. Do you have Single or Multiple option selected? What displays when the problem happens? I find the Apple Preferences - Sound to be unstable on rare occasions. When this happens the ticked item does not work. I generally get it working again by ticking another item and back to the output (or input) I want. But all choices are still displayed. Cheers Alan.

Re: Restart Problem
Hi Paul, I do not understand what you mean exactly... I think you are running OS X 10.8.5 not OS X 10.5.8?

Do you mean Mac Pro plus one external display, or Mac Pro with 2 external displays connected? My problem is that after a restart the system does not remember either the display arraignment or the Desktop contents. In Mission Control - you have setup 4 Desktops (virtual screens)... The 'Primary' - Desktop 1, plus Desktop 2, Desktop 3 Desktop 4 When you restart your Mac it will always display your 'Primary' - Desktop 1 As Desktop 1 is always your Main Desktop. In other words I must completely rebuild the setup each time. All 4 Desktops should still be showing when you open Mission Control in the Dock?
