After installing 10.6, 10.6.8 my iMac will not log out after the prescribed time.  How do I fix this?

My iMac will not automatically log off/out after  the prescribed time since I have installed Snow Leopard.   It will continue to go to, in order at the prescribed times, Screen Saver, Display Sleep, Computer Sleep.   But the next step - Automatically Log User Off after xxx minutes no longer functions.  Assistance?

Anyone can help?????

  • My desktop picture keeps changing after each log-out or shut down.  How do I fix this?

    I have a new MacPro, and I would like to stop my desktop photo from changing every time I shut down, or lock my computer.  It's truly annoying.

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
    Look for these three files.
    com.apple.screensaver.plist           
    com.apple.desktop.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Right click each  one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
    Restart the computer.

  • After installing Lion, iMovie09  no longer sees my Canon AVCHD.  It finds photos. Anybody found a way to fix this?

    After installing Lion, iMovie09  no longer sees my Canon AVCHD.  It finds photos. Anybody found a way to fix this?

    Is that with the camera directly connected or with the card in a card reader?
    I haven't tried in a while, but I know it worked in Lion at some point. I did all my uploading with a card reader, so that may be the difference.

    I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine.  I updated to elements 12.1.  Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files.  How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • ITunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?

    iTunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?
    Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
    iTunes 10.5.3 64bit

    I've had this problem on my Windows XP for years. it's been around, unsolved, or no solutions in these forums.
    It keeps reminding me why Apple will never be the primary office computer company. Anyone running a business cannot have software running that will not behave, won't shut down, or behaves without any explanation, and this problem has no explanation, or solution that I can find except to use task manager to kill the process and only use iTunes when I'm expecting to shut down or kill the process.

    Erica from Apple support:  Your efforts to help on this subject are appreciated.  However, during my wait for your supervisor, just when I stepped away from my desk for a moment you must have picked up your phone again.  When I heard a noise (other than the hold music) I rushed back to my desk only to hear you hang up.  When the phone rang and the ANI said "Apple support" I tried to pick up but you were gone by the time I got the button pressed.
    Hopefully you'll see this note and leave a message on how to resolve this issue for me and the others from other similar questions posed on this forum.
    Thanks,
    George

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

    All the emails in my Hotmail inbox on my iPad2 disappear after 3 days.  Also, although my folders are listed on the iPad, there are no emails in the folders.  How do I fix this?  All the emails appear on my computer.

    You can sync Hotmail via Microsoft Exchange. It will mirror your email account on your phone so that the account will look just like the one on your computer. Here are the instructions:

  • My brand new iMac will not power up after an update restart, any suggestions?

    Any suggestions on why my IMac will not power up after it done a restart?

    Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    If that doesn't help:
    See if it will start in Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar, type your admin password when prompted, let it continue to (hopefully) boot. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If that didn't help, try booting into the Recovery HD: restart holding down Command+r and choose Disk Utility from the four choices when they appear on screen. Once DU has launched select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If you still have problems, give AppleCare a call.

  • HT1296 I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    And it won't by design and intention since you are not syncing your iPhone with your iTunes library on your computer. 
    If you have authorized the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, with your iPhone connected - at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.  
    For contacts and calendar events, is Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 available?
