Apple Script to close down all volumes on TrueCrypt.
I like to create script that will close down all mounted volumes in TC.
Does anybody know how to script the programme (preferably in Apple Script, but Automator would be OK to) in such a way as to be able to have the script do a ‘Dismount All’?
I would than link this to the ttys file as a LogoutHook, thus making sure all mounted volumes are dismounted before a shut down happens, this to prevent damaging open files on a volume as this could happen if shut down is forced.
Any suggestions appreciated.
TrueCrypt probably doesn't know about disks/volumes, but the system does. Eject is a different command than unmount, so I am guessing that there is something else going on in there. The following script gets the local volumes and uses diskutil to unmount the specified volume(s):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
-- unmount local disk volumes
set Unmounted to "" -- this will be a text list of volumes successfully unmounted
tell application "Finder" to set LocalNames to (name of disks whose local volume is true)
set TheVolumes to (choose from list LocalNames with prompt "Choose volumes to unmount:" with multiple selections allowed)
if result is not false then repeat with SomeName in TheVolumes
-- get the disk identifier for the specified volume
get paragraphs of (do shell script "diskutil list " & quoted form of ("/Volumes/" & SomeName))
set TheDiskID to the last word of (Test for SomeName out of result)
-- unmount (the disk ID is used in case there are multiple volumes on a disk)
if TheDiskID is not "" then try
do shell script "diskutil unmount " & TheDiskID
set Unmounted to Unmounted & SomeName & return
on error errmess
log errmess
end try
end repeat
if Unmounted is "" then set Unmounted to "none"
display alert "Volumes unmounted:" message Unmounted
to Test for SomeText out of SomeList
tests if SomeText is in an item of SomeList
parameters - SomeText [text]: the text to test for
SomeList [list]: a list of text items to test
returns [text]: the first item of SomeList that contains SomeText, or "" if none
set SomeText to SomeText as text
repeat with AnItem in SomeList
set AnItem to AnItem as text
if SomeText is in AnItem then return AnItem
end repeat
return ""
end Test
</pre>

Itunes library will not close down all the way
My iTunes library will not close down all the way. When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.
You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

Programme closes down all of a sudden
hi
since i work on FCP HD it often occurs that the programme closes down all of a sudden. (this never happend when i was working with FCP 3)
What can be the reason for this?
g4 533mhz dual Mac OS X (10.3.5)MAny many things can cause this. Most likey are damaged preferences, so it would be wise to download FCP rescue and run it...it does it automatically for you.
And while you are at it, run the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Always wise to do when stuff like this happens.

When it has disappeared I can open Firefox again using the menu or the opening icon on the toolbar, but then it only shows up blank, so without the tabs that were opened before. Closing down all other icons on the toolbar is the only way to make the Firefox icon reappear and for me to open Firefox again with all my tabs.
Please excuse my English, the jargon is difficult.Thanks for your reply, cor-el.
The odd thing is, this problem hasn't occurred again since I posted it. What kind of magic is that? :-))
It really is odd, since I had it at least twice a week for several months.
So far, so good, then.
I'll wait a while more, and will then close it as being solved. I guess that's the procedure.
We'll put it down to temporary bugs or pc mysteries.
Though I like the magic option more... -
On that website (member only site), when i clicked on print menu on the site, it normally loaded the page and then the print dialogue box appear and immediately, it closed down all the pop up and print dialuge so that i cannot print it at all. It happened only after i upgrade Firefox to version 6.0.2, previous version it worked fine.
Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
Firefox wont close down all the way
some reason when i go to close down firefox then try to bring in back an hour later keep getting the message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" and keep wondering why this is happening tryed puting the profile to read only it helped for a week then it started back up aside from that not sure why its happening usin firefox 30.0
This was an issue with v29 that v30 was suppost to fix.
From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

else if theHours > 12 then
say "good afternoon sir"
else if theHours > 6 then
say "good Morning sir"
else if theHours > 0 then
say "get out of bed sir!"
end if
Add in a few lines of code to this file and see what happens.
add the on run, this would be clearer. It is the default on unit to run.
on run
set theHours to hours of the (current date)
if theHours > 18 then
say "good evening sir"
else if theHours > 12 then

say "good Morning sir"

Now, it is time for debugging.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
Author: rccharles
For testing, run in the Script Editor.
1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
2) Click on Run
on run
-- Write a message into the event log.
log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
-- debug lines
set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath

Basically whenever I watch a video and I exit out of the video I have to restart my computer to get Firefox back open. If I exit out or go to a new page while the video is playing, the audio continues like nothing has happened. I've checked my task manager and it shows that Firefox is closed. When I try to re-open Firefox I get an error message that tells me Firefox is running but is unresponsive and I have to restart my computer. How do I get it to stop doing this?
Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

for instance there is a web site so called fizy. I think it may be a reason for this.
You say that 'sometimes' it gets locked ... it is quite probable that due to some reason/recent activity that you perform on your machine the memory consumptions increases a lot because of which the windows freeze.
When it happens next time, try to open 'Task Manager' and check for 'memory consumption' also as to which process is eating max memory (then you can delete that particular process only and see whether it solves the issue)
try this and let us know whether it helps or not -

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks
I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!
