Abrupt log outs

In the past week I've been traveling and have been using a Verizon aircard to access the Internet. At least three times in that period I was suddenly logged out by the machine while performing various tasks--iChat, email drafts, Word editing--all unrelated. When I log back in, the Verizon connection just picks right up. I don't get any crash errors or anything. The email draft I was working on got saved with the last word I had typed in. Any thoughts?

Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.

Spontaneously Logging Out?

Anyone else seeing this?
My MacBook Pro is occasionally bailing out of the active user session.
I usually detect this by returning to the idle machine and finding it at the login window, with whatever account happened to be active (I usually have two accounts running) logged out. I have once seen it happen out of the corner of my eye: the screen abruptly switches to the login window. I generally don't leave any documents unsaved, but I have to assume that any such work would be lost if I left it that way.
There are no CrashReporter logs in my console. system.log seems to show the following message around the time of some of the events (but not all):
Mar 15 17:27:20 Dougs-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: (94: coreservicesd)tfp: failed on 0:
Mar 15 17:27:23 Dougs-MacBook-Pro /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started
I did a Disk Repair and Repair Permissions last night, and it's still happening.
Any ideas?

Laptop forced to log out

I'm running a client/server application called Label Traxx for job tracking that uses 4D database, the server portion is on an xserve running 10.6.2 server and the clients are running from a variety of laptops and minis running 10.6.2. On one laptop when using Label Traxx it will periodically be abruptly forced to the OS user log-in screen as if the user has been logged out all of a sudden. All apps are forced quit. So far it's only happening on this one client laptop and it happens even when no other apps are running.
Things I've done so far with no improvement:
-delete all Label Traxx preferences files from the User/Library/Application Support directory and relaunch
-remove and reload the client app on that laptop
-disable Time Machine (which backs up the laptop to the same server)
-restart the server and client computers.
Any suggestions on tracking down/fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, yes, I've been discussing this with them and so far we've not found a solution hence my posting here for additional ideas to consider.

HT204406 I am having a very difficult time with accessing my music from the cloud. I need to have itunes open on my laptop in order for it to work. And as soon as I close out itunes on my laptop, it gives me a warning that all users will be logged out.

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email. If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out. The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

Error 201; CC desktop app constantly logged out, won't redownload

Running CC on Windows 7, 64bit. Have run into the "Please log in/You are now logged out" loop before, so uninstalled the CC desktop app, renamed the OOBE file to OOBE_OLD, and attempted to re-download and re-install the CC app. This worked last time, but today every time I attempt to download, it gives me error code 201 and tells me to seek help.
There does not appear to be anything pertinent to this issue on the forums already. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi LawnSnark ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Error 201 indicates that the download of the installation files was unable to be resumed successfully or it can be lack of sufficient permissions as well.
Please create a new Administrator user account , Download Creative Cloud desktop app in new account and sign in.
Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

Why am I stuck in a "you are logged out" loop while attempting to reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud ?

Why am I stuck in a "you are logged out" loop while attempting to reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud (ACC)? I am able to log into the Creatrive cloud member portal.
What gives.
Also, I can change my password at the ACC portal.
When prompted to login during installation the loop begins. I enter my username and password hit enter - click whir - and the same prompt reappears.
No email is delivered (not in junk either) when I ask for info on reseting my password the only solution offered in the debilitating prompt.

Are you on a managed network? Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and trash it. Launch CC desktop and try to sign in.
Enable user library: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html.
Note: Please disable anti virus if installed and then try to sign in.

I am unable to log out of my old creative cloud.

I have Windows 8 and started school with the creative cloud trial version and now I activated my Adobe Cloud membership I can not log out of my old expired creative cloud. I need to know how I can log out of my old account? The log out button isn't active, as in it does nothing when I click it.

You will have to contact Apple Care and ask for account security for help. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

How to change URL for "Log Out" link in CE?

We need the Communications Express "Log Out" link to go to a different page to the usual log in page. How can I change this?
I've found the logout function in the uwc/common/Header.jsp file which looks like:
function logout() {
url = "<%= getLogoutURL(request) %>";
top.window.location = url;
}and I've found the getLogoutURL fuction in the uwc/js/resourceBundleUtils.js file which looks like:
public String getLogoutURL(HttpServletRequest request)
    return UWCApplicationHelper.getLogoutURL(request);
}But I can't find where the URL is actually configured.
any help would be much appreciated.

You got it in one. If you wanted the logout button to redirect to google you would set:
function logout() {
   url = "http://google.com/";
   top.window.location = url;Then restart the web-container.
and I've found the getLogoutURL fuction in the uwc/js/resourceBundleUtils.js file which looks like:
public String getLogoutURL(HttpServletRequest request)
return UWCApplicationHelper.getLogoutURL(request);
}But I can't find where the URL is actually configured.UWCApplicationHelper is in inbuilt java class. The UWCApplicationHelper.getLogoutURL java function returns:
<current URL context>/base/UWCMain?op=logoutSo for example if UWC is deployed to http://myserver.domain.com/uwc you would get a logout URL of:
http://myserver.domain.com/uwc/base/UWCMain?op=logoutRegards,
Shane.

I can't log out of my iTunes on my old laptop because it has a virus and won't turn on, and this means i can't add/sync new music to my iPod on my new laptop.

it's getting really irritating since i now have an awful lot of CDs stacking up since i can't add them to my iPod, any suggestions on what to do WITHOUT erasing my iPod content?

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Keyboard, trackpad, mouse settings got lost after every log out

Hi,
The system does not remember several settings of my keybord, trackpad and mouse such as speed settings, function key settings. I have tried all possible solutions found on web inlucding, delete plist files, fix hard disk permissions etc. This only happens in one user account, if I create new user, all settings got remembered just fine. So I am pretty sure it's software issue. Any suggestions? Thank you.
p.s. I don't have any 3rd party setting software installed.

This only happens in one user account, if I create new user, all settings got remembered just fine. So I am pretty sure it's software issue.
As Topher was getting at, this is an issue with your global preferences property list, which is corrupted on your account.
All I would add to his suggestion, would be simply to reboot your computer after running his command. Log out and reboot. This will rebuild ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist.
Adjust the settings, and test by logging out and then back in to see if this resolves your problem.

New OSX not does not work with RED Rocket Card and old OSX Randomly Logs Out - UNSTABLE

It looks like my MBPR 16GB (MacBook Pro) randomly logs out and causes my programs to quit unsaved. I can not update to the new OSX mountain Lion because the new Apple release is no longer compatible with the RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage. Mountain Lion causes the RED Rocket to not run correctly with Adobe Premiere.
At the same time, I am on Lion and my computer randomly logs me out and I lose all my work. It seems as though the Retina is unstable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone tell me how I can return this. It seems as though I may have to switch the entire company over to PC if this is not figured out soon.

You probably have not received responses for two reasons.
1. There are not many here that know what this is "RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage"
2. Your post appears to contain some sort of threat to Apple about moving to PCs. You are not addressing Apple here. We are users just like you. We don't care if you change over to PCs.
MBPs and Lion are very stable. Maybe your unsupported third party Red card is causing issues. Their answer seems to be that Mountain Lion is not supported. I wonder why?
My suggestion if this is a business environment is to not mess with this. If you know for a fact that your Red card works with PCs, change over to PCs. I know that if some tool was not working for my business I would not hesitate to get something that worked.

Why does iTunes automatically sign me in to my acct. after I have logged out?

This is very annyoing. I logged out for a reason - hello.
It's bad enough that iTunes contiunally badgers you to sign in whenever you access your music library. But even worse, despite declining the multiple prompts to sign in, the system does so anyway... behind your back!
And before I get the standard repsoneses, No I don't use iTunes Match, No I don't have Automatic Downloads enabled, in fact, I didn't even have wi-fi enabled at the time (it used my cellular data - which, BTW, is turned off for Music!)
This becomes a big issue for me, because if I don't sign out of my iTunes acct. before synching my music, iTunes takes the liberty of renaming all my music to match their exact decsriptions in the store. Another rdiculous problem. So I've learned this work-around, the hard way, and now I have the magic login fairy to contend with.
I've said it before it in several other posts, if a person doesn't use iTunes Match, Automatic Downlods, or store their music in iCloud, then don't touch my music.
Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. The screen is showing iPhone in Recovery Mode and needs to be Restored with current iTunes on computer.

CUPC 8.6 logs out in softphone mode / works in deskphone mode

Hi everyone,
I'm experience an unusal problem with a virtual lab deployment I'm mocking up. I have CUCM, CUC, and CUPS versions 8.6 all running on ESXi 4.1. I have one Windows Server 2003 desktop with CIPC running and everything works fine. When I launch the CUPC client, it works when running in desktop mode, however, as soon as I uncheck the button at the bottom of CUPC to switch it to softphone mode, it "silently" crashes or logs me out.
My initial guess it that it may be an issue with the virtual sound driver (virtual audio cable) I'm using in order to get CIPC to install and work. Because it's for a mock lab I don't actually need sound, just the functionality. However, CIPC works fine so I'm not 100% sure how I can check if the virtual audio driver is causing CUPC to log out. I only assume that because when it has to change from desk phone mode to soft phone mode it's going to use the audio drivers installed on the local pc.
Is there any where I can check a log file to see if this is the case? Or, is there a better solution to installing both CIPC and CUPC in a virtual enviornment?
Thanks!

I'm running 8.6 on everything. And yes I setup a CSF device in CUCM not a UCP device like previous versions. It works now and I know I've used it before on W2k3 server but not virtualzed (not exactly sure why it would be different). Well, technically I used 8.0 on W2k3 and not 8.6 so there's probably some other underlying differences there as well.

My ipod has logged me out of the game center, so I tried logging back in and it wont let me, it says something about itunes. So I looked online to try and find a solution. I eventually ended up logging out of my App Store and Itunes and now I cant log in

So I have an 5th generation Ipod touch. I was playing games and noticed that one of them started completely over and said to log into the Game Center. I tried to but it wouldn't let me. So I let it go, but then the Game Center app just poped up whenever I was playing a game and said that I needed to go to the itunes store. I did but I didnt know what to do. So I serched online to try and fix it. In the end I logged out of my App store because it wasnt letting me download anything and I also logged out of itunes. And now it wont let me log back in to any of my stuff and none of my ipod information will download to a computer. And it says that theres an error with my accounts. So should I try resetting the ipod or create new accounts or what? Please help me.
