Applications closing after period of inactivity

My applications are closing after a period of inactivity. I would appreciate any help. I'm on a 27inch iMac late 2013 running 10.10.1.
If application is idol for some time it can close on me. Skype closes often. Adobe products and mamp will close periodically as well. This really interrupts my work flow. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello neverask333,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like multiple programs close on their own. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I keep losing my wireless connection after periods of inactivity - any solution? I recently installed a new wireless router with improved range.

I recently installed a Netgear Wireless router for improved reception, but now my macbook loses connection through Airport after periods of inactivity. We have another older Macbook in the house, and it never loses connection. I never had this problem with the previous Linksys router, just limited range. Any ideas what is causing this? It's frustrating to have to frequently shout down and re-boot. That so far is the only way I can re-connect.

Adjust the Wireless Settings on your linksys router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your
network key whenever you connect to your wireless network.
Do NOT give this key to anyone.
Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ...
Try to look for the Wireless Network on your laptop and attempt to connect...

MacBook Pro shuts down after periods of inactivity

I had a 6-year old MacBook Pro. Besides just being a bit old and tired it would attempt to shut down after periods of inactivity. I tried setting it to never sleep. I tried the whole reset thing where you take the battery out and hold the power button for 5 seconds. I bought new memory for it. Eventually I used it as an excuse to buy a new machine.
Of course I copied my image over to the new MacBook. Now I know its not a hardware issue because it still happens!
I also have other quirky issues (probably not related, but who knows).
I just cannot get my remote (or any apple remote to work).
I have an empty folder that I can't delete–it crashes the system.
Aperature hangs up all the time
VMware hangs up all the time
Firefox and Chrome both hang up
Sometimes I have to force quit Mail
Is this a good time to do a clean install?

Resetting the SMC doesn't seem to have done anything. The progress bar hasn't reached the end to shut down yet, but so far, it's displaying the same behavior.

Set auto shut down for iPod touch after period of inactivity

I keep falling asleep with my iPod on. My old MP3 player had a setting where it automatically shutdown after a specified period of inactivity. Is there a download or setting of some sort that will make the ipod touch do the same?

I can't try it out for you now and don't know if it's on 2.x, but read p. 32 of the IPT manual under Sleep Timer. The option is under the Clock -> Timer on the Home menu. If the feature is still there...
Here's a link to the online manual:

Run script after period of inactivity

I'd like to run an apple script after a certain period of inactivity (say 10 minutes). is there a way to do that?

Sample code:
property iRun : 0 -- Global variable (retains latest value between applet executions).
on run
set iRun to 0 -- Clears global variable.
say "Working" -- Optional, your code here.
end run
on idle {}
if (iRun > 0) then -- Do not execute code immediately, instead wait until after delay time.
say "Processing" -- Your code here.
end if
if (iRun = 1) then quit -- Optional code, to quit after processing use code, after a single delay period.
set iRun to 1 -- Needed to guarantee that code is processed after delay period.
return (60 * 10) -- Where '10' indicates 10 minutes.
end idle

Disconnect Bluetooth Device After Period of Inactivity

I have connected a bluetooth device successfully, and it remains paired through power cycles. I'm attempting to now get the device to disconnect after a certain period of inactivity. The device is a ps3 controller, if that matters.
Any advice?

Sorry,

I guess I could also solve the problem by attaching the WIRELESS printer with a cable to the router, but HP is selling thise products as wireless, so why should I have to do that?

Sun Rays with VDI 3.1 - Black screen after periods of inactivity

Running VDI 3.1 with bundled versions of SRSS on three servers in a cluster running Solaris 10 with VSphere as a desktop provider - also using meta-kiosk with all smartcards configured to run "VDA" script when inserted, DTUs require registered cards.
Bit of a strange issue that is unfortunately not always reproducible:
After what seems a random period after having removed a smartcard from a DTU (if still logged into a Windows session, or after disconnecting it) sometimes as short as 20mins, sometimes only after overnight, upon reinserting the card, the VDI login screen does not always appear immediately (as should happen), but instead a black screen with a moveable mouse pointer is shown. This persists for almost exactly 2 minutes whenever it happens, then the VDI screen appears. If you manually kill the session from the admin web-interface and power-cycle the Sun Ray, it will pop up immediately as expected.
At times, the VDI screen does simply appear immediately as expected, at others this 2-minute black screen first...
You can often force the behaviour on a working VDI login screen by choosing "More options - Quit" - this will often trigger the black screen/2 minute delay. At other times quitting in this manner does not reproduce the error and the VDI login screen appears immediately.
I've researched this for a couple of weeks, and a lot of bugs mentioning "black screens" pointed towards problems with uttsc-bin - I've already applied the patch here: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-143215-03-1 to no avail.
I assume that it possibly is nothing to do with the Windows connector, since it's really the VDI login screen that is not appearing in a timely manner and Windows logins/sessions always start/resume immediately after logging in from the VDI screen.
Can anyone offer any help?

Never figured out what was causing this, but an upgrade to VDI 3.2 has fixed it (for now at least!)

Tour will not turn back on after period of inactivity

Hello,
My Tour will not turn on after about 2 weeks of inactivity. The battery was stored in it at appx 40% (I realize this was probably a mistake...).
When plugged into the charger, the red light goes on for appx 10 secs, then turns off (whether battery is in or out).
Several battery pulls have not made a difference.
Phone has been plugged in for over an hour now, with no result.
Tried putting the battery in with the phone plugged/unplugged.
Plugging phone into PC USB tries to install the drivers (so it's def not fried)
Thank you in advance for ANY help
Wesley

Yes I was going to suggest the same thing. Either place a friend's in your device or take it into your carrier's store to see if another battery does the trick

Cannot prevent display from dimming after period of inactivity

once again, another weird unexplainable problem that has been discussed on here but never quite solved. this has nothing to do with the ambient light sensor or the "pass your hand over the speaker grill" situation.
the problem is that my screen dims after about 2 minutes of inactivity. I've got the "reduce screen brightness before sleep" UNchecked, and the "adjust brightness as ambient light changes" is also UNchecked. I've made these settings for both the power adapter and the battery. I don't see any reason why the screen should dim unless I've checked the option to make it do so.
any ideas?

I found this:
http://www.technodaddy.com/wp/2005/07/24/mac-tip-how-to-stop-tiger-from-half-dim ming-your-screen/
which I tried, and it worked. however, when I listed the current state (according to the directions) it was already at 0 (zero) but I did the command as directed and it doesn't dim any more.
cheers!

WiFi is always disabled after period of inactivity

When my ZTE One (orange) sits idle for a while, WiFi is always disabled when I wake up the phone. I re-enable WiFi & everything is fine, but I shouldn't have to do that each time.

Hi!
If the signal strength is not powerful enough to receive a connection for a period of time the Wi-Fi will disconnect and eventually disable itself. <br> Although, if there is a Wi-Fi network recognized but the phone is inactive the phone will disconnect and this is to save you battery power, but once you wake the phone, the phone should automatically connect back to Wi-Fi if the network is in range and if the signal is good.
Should you have any more questions regarding this, please feel free to ask.
Thanks!

Laserjet 300 color MFP nw STOPS SEEING NETWORK after period of inactivity

I work in an office of a television show. We are all on Macs. Printer worked fine for a while, now has an annoying problem.
IF we turn it on, it prints fine for a while and the printer IP is seen by my browser. BUT, if you wait an indefinite amount of time (not sure how many minutes/hours), THEN try to print or access the printer IP... the connection fails.
I've updated the fimware. I've disabled IPv6. I've created a static IP address for the printer, re-added the printer using the IP address-- all to no avail. Each time, after an unspecificed amout of time... the printer seems to DROP from the wireless network, which requires users to turn it off, then on so that it can be seen by the network.
PLEASE SOMEBODY tell me that it's a simple setting and not the network card failing... !

FCP FREEZES AFTER PERIOD OF INACTIVITY

Running FCP 5 onPowerPC Powerbk G4, 1.67
OS: 10.4.11
Whenever I leave the program just sitting there with no activity (usually at least 1/2 hr or longer) the canvas freezes. The audio plays and pretty much everything else is functional.
My only known solution is to close and reopen FCP. I've been editing this one project for several months and the problem has only appeared in last several weeks.
thank you.

Absolutely no way to even start guessing. But that's never stopped me.
Usually associated with the sleep function.

Mail "disappears" after a period of inactivity

Since upgrading to Leopard a strange problem is occurring.
On returning to iMac after period of inactivity mail appears "open" in dock and menus appear at top of screen. However, the application just won't display anything at all. Only solution is to shut down and reboot.
Anyone else come across this? Any ideas?

I think this is what might be happening :
I think in both cases, when he is playing it overnight , his machine might be going to sleep , and his network connection to server migth be goign off. Since network connection goes off, NetConnection would be closed resulting in NetStream going out of scope which results in NaN for NetStream.time.
You can basically display error message when you connection goes down by using watching for NetConnection.Connect.Closed message in your NetConnection handler. And you can either assign display of NetStream time visually as 0 instead of NaN for better user experience.

Keeping my applications from closing after an hour

Sometimes I want to keep an application running, like an Internet radio station. But no matter how I try to disable shutdown and sleep functions, my Mac still shuts all applications after about 1 hour, and on my screen I find the login box against the wallpaper of a supernova (or whatever it is).
Here are my settings in "System Preferences:"
In the "Energy Saver" area, I have "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for" — Never
"Put the display(s) to sleep when the computer is inactive for" — Never
"Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" — Not checked
In the Desktop & Screen Save area, I have "Start screen saver" — Never
