AppleScript that Runs an App When Computer Goes Idle?

I use a remote computer access application to access my computer from my iPhone when I am away from it and I want to know if there is some way I could get my computer to run the application when it goes idle (aka when I am away from it) and quit it when it comes back from an idle state. Anyone have any ideas?

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "System Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to "WindowServer". Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

Why do my programs close when computer goes to sleep

why do my programs close when computer goes to sleep?

What do you mean by "close"? Your open applications stay open when you put your computer to sleep. However, if you have an app like iMovie open, for example, and you are exporting a video, than exporting will pause when your computer is asleep.

Running Java app when java not installed

I need to run java apps on a server I don't control and the admin will not install java. :(
Tried a few things to run java without installation, but get error that a java registry item can not be found. "Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'" Might be that without control of the registry, there's no way to run the java engine, but curious if there's a way to get it to run... I'm gonna play around with it, but figured if someone out there knows it's not possible, they could save me time by letting me know.
Thanks!

Depends on what you want to run. To run an applet on the computer requires that the JRE be installed, as the applet needs the Java Plug-in and Registry keys that the JRE install includes. To run a Java program from the command line needs a copy of the JRE, but it does not need to be "installed" by the Java installer. Then the command "java ... classname" needs to include the full path to the java executable that the JRE contains.
There might be websites that allow you to run certain kinds of Java programs on the website. I don't know if they still wxist. I also doubt that they'll run applets.

Looses network connection when computer goes to sleep... and password ques.

So... I browsed the forum (not too in depth...) and have found anything to help me on this issue.
When my computer goes to sleep I lose my connection. Even when I was testing it out and put it to sleep for five seconds it happened. So every time my computer goes to sleep I have to reconnect to my network and re-mount my external HD. Every time. And on top of that... when I type in my WAP password to connect... I check the option to save the password in my keychain and it never saves it. It saves the password to connect to the external HD, though... just not the network.
Anyone have an idea?

The keychain is pretty much a central place that stores usernames, passwords, and some kinds of cryptography information (certificates and keys). OS X provides an interface so it's easy for programmers to make their applications use the keychain. That way, all of your passwords are stored in one place. Useful feature, that.
Keychain Access is used to access things in the keychain. So if you have a program that doesn't use keychain, you can use keychain access to display the password for various things you've long since forgotten.
Keychain access is also useful for double-checking that something is in the keychain - or for removing things that are already there that you don't want to have in the keychain.
As for two passwords for your network - that sounds correct. One is for the network, and the other is for the AirPort Base Station. Keychain Access has the "kind" column, and there are two kinds of entries:
AirPort Base Station Password: This is not used to access the network - it's used to configure the base station.
AirPort Network Password: This IS what you use to access the network.
Though your mention of "login" and "system" passwords is making me think you may be talking about the passwords for the "system" and "login" keychains.

Leopard 10.5.6 quits when computer goes to sleep

Hello -
The moment my Macbook goes to sleep, the screen grays and I get a notice in several languages that OS X has quit. I force the computer to turn off by holding down the button. Then restart and - after being offered an opportunity to report the problem -- all is fine until the next sleep.
It coincided with software updating today. Not sure what all went on there.
It's Leopard 10.5.6
Thanks for any help.
Josh

CLARIFICATION OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE:
The moment my computer goes towards sleep mode the multilingual message simply says the computer must be restarted. I get the OS X Quit message on restart, which may only refer to my force quit.
So... Removed the Ipod, pushed sleep, and had the same negative result. Tried it again after restart with the Ipod still disconnected with the identical negative result.
Still stuck. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks.

MBP 13in drops wifi when computer goes to sleep, I have to restart the computer to reconnect. Help?

I recently did the Lion update on my MBP. Since then my computer will drop wifi connection everytime the computer goes to sleep. It will not let me log on network saying invailed password. I have to restart the computer and then it connects automatically. This is NOT a router problem. Skip any and all advice about routers. I have 4 other Apple products all connected to wifi perfectly. This is a MBP issue. Please help.

On the MBP, go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash.
Restart the Mac.
It will not let me log on network saying invailed password
Just in case, open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Use the search field top right corner of the window to locate your network keychain.
Now right or control click the keychain then click Get Info then select the Attributes tab.
Click: Show password
Make sure it's correct.
And launch AirPort Utility /Applications/Utilities
Select the connection on the left the click Manual Setup.
Select AirPort from the menu then select the Wireless tab.
Make sure the password is available there then click Update.

Satellite P50T-A016 DVD turns on perioically when computer is idle

Hello,
When the computer is idle, I have noticed that my new Satellite P50T-A016 laptop is DVD drive turns on and checks for a disc is present. I want to prevent this behaviour, however I am unsure if it is OS (windows 8.1) or an installed program. What is triggering this DVD drive activation? How can I identify what is causing this behaviour?
Regards
Graham

Yes, when the TPCH service is disabled/stop, the periodic activation of the DVD drive stops.
When the "PC Health monitor" application is started, the TPCH service is automatically restarted. Looking at the application, it gives no information about the "health" of DVD drive, yet it checks the DVD drive. Strange. It would be nice for the "PC Health monitor" application to have a setting that can disable the DVD checking.
Thanks for the information.

Windows gets rearranged in Windows 8.1 and secondary monitor when computer goes to sleep

I have a MacBook Air 2013 with a secondary monitor installed through a mini-display port-HDMI cable. I also have bootcamp installed in Windows 8.1 64 bits with all the latest drivers installed. The problem that I have is that when the computer wakes after it goes to sleep, all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor and I have to re-arranged them all over every time.
What I tried so far:
1. Installed the latests drivers from Microsoft and Intel HD Graphics 5000.
2. Look for the DMMEnableDDCPolling in the registry. (not found only available for ATI cards)
3. Change the mini-displayport-HDMI cable for a new one that doesn't transmit the "power" so that computer do not detect that the monitor was shutdown.
4. Change the resolution on boths monitors to native resolution
5. Change the primary display from external monitor to laptop monitor
6. Changer HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TMM\UseIViewHelper from 1 to 0
7. Try to get an answer from Apple, Intel and microsoft support.

PLEASE HELP! I Don't know what else to do!
This do not happend on MacOS, is happends only in Windows.
Thanks, Andres Rormoser.

The only solution that I found so far was to install Actual Window Manager, separate the secondary monitor in tiles, assign each window to each tile, add a shortcut to start/stop ActualWindowManager and every time the computer wakes up with the windows re-arranged I press the shoutcut and everything goes back to my predifined layout.

Losing network connection when computer goes to sleep

I have been putting up with a nagging problem that I hope someone can help solve. (I asked about this earlier and thought the problem had been solved, but it has not.)
Periodically when I start work after my notebook has been asleep, I am asked to reconnect to my wireless network. It doesn’t happen every time, and I have not been able to discover a pattern. I am also asked to re-enter my password, even though it is in my keychain and I always check the “remember this password” box. “Ask to join new networks" is not checked in the Advances pane, "Remember any network this computer has joined" is checked, and in the list of preferred networks, my home network is the top one.
I am not having any problem with the network itself and I am working on the desk where Time Capsule is located.
I am obviously doing something wrong, but what?
Charles

Are you using TC as your router? Or do you have another router?
If another router, update the firmware for starters.

How do I run java app when user calls a number?

Hi all
Is it possible to run a java app everytime a user calls a number? It has to run before the call is placed. The app will do its job and then place the call using PlatformRequest().
Thanks

Hi,
I believe in general this is not possible.
J2ME was designed in such a way that J2ME apps don't have permission to interrupt the normal functions of the phone (making/receiving calls, sending/receiving SMS).

Only run Group Policy when computer is on the correct IP range

Hi,
We are using 802.1x via Cisco AnyConnect NAM. The Windows machines are authenticating quickly enough for Group Policy to run properly.
Is their a way to make Group Policy run only when the computer is on the correct IP range. We have the Group Policy set to only run once the network starts, but with the 802.1x the computers land in a guest network, so the network has started, just the wrong
one.
Best wishes
Michael

Losing connection to wireless internet when computer goes to sleep

I have a Macbook, with OS 10.5.6. I connect to internet via airport connected to internet via belkin router. When I close my macbook to put it to sleep i keep losing the connection to the internet. The airport is connected, its only the internet connection that is lost.the only way round this is to restart the airport or belkin router, when the connection is restored. does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Similar symptoms here. Fortunately my MBP "recovers". When I made some experiments with VPNs yesterday, I noticed, when switching the network environment, that the computer is requesting a new IP address. Maybe this will also happen when the Mac wakes up? And maybe the router doesn't respond properly? I would try to set a fixed IP and see what happens then.

So.. i just restored my iphone and was trying to restore it from my icloud backup that i had. but when it goes to restore it from the backup its says the account is not verified. i go to verify it and notice that it is autofilling the wrong password

how do i stop it from autofilling that password(my old one from about 2 years ago) to my new one.. without it i can not restore my iphone..

when i go to icloud.com all my contacts still exist, notes, etc. is my iphone gonna recognize my contacts if i set it up as a new phone?

It is way faster to output into any kind of text (CSV) format.
