Auto adhoc At startup AppleScript available?

I would like to use the iPad as the ONLY display for my Mac mini without having to plug into a monitor. Is there an AppleScript available for making an ad hoc network automatically when starting up? I can then se the screens connect app to connect to the Mac mini via wifi. Thanks

Splashtop Remote Desktop for iPad will allow you to control and run your mac Mini using your iPad, but initially you will need to have a monitor connected to the Mac Mini inorder to set up the Splashtop Streamer.

ITunes auto launches on startup (no iPod/Phone connected)

For the last couple of weeks (perhaps longer) I've noticed iTunes launches itself whenever I restart my MacBook Pro.
There is no iPhone connected at the time.
Everything is up to date in software.
I've removed iTunes helper from my login items.
I'm at a loss.
Your assistance in resolving this matter would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!
Darcy

I just tried restarting again, this time with iTunes last closed on my music tab rather than the store tab, where I realized it had been parked for some time.
iTunes still auto launched on startup, though after a longer delay than usual.
AND after I quit iTunes, it auto launched itself again. That was a first.
For what it's worth.

Stop auto launching at startup??

How do I get Spotify to stop auto launching at startup of my desktop? I have looked all over and cannot find the option.
Thanks.

Here's another "me too" followed by what I've done so far. In Windows 7, about three weeks ago my Spotify started loading at startup.I checked preferences, for some reason the option had changed on its own to load at startup. I reset to "do NOT load" at startupThe next time I rebooted, it started up on its own again. I checked settings, they had changed back again. Again I fixed my preferencesThe NEXT time I rebooted, it happened again! This time I not only changed the setting back to NOT load at startup, I also opened MSCONFIG and checked the TWO, count-em, TWO entries of Spotify to prevent loading at startup. Pop up box suggested restartiing the computer. I did, no Spotify loaded. Yay...for now...however,Two hours later I took my laptop with me on a business visit. When I turned on the computer, Spotify loaded AGAIN.I again opened MSCONFIG and found FOUR, count-em, FOUR entries of Spotify I had to check to prevent loading at startup.This is getting very frustrating. It's my belief that some recent upgrade to Spotify is causing this, as it only started a few weeks ago. Someone with Spotify needs to check into this! Help me Obi Wan!!

Auto fill is no longer available. Now I have to type a website to visit it instead of clicking in the searh box.

I now get "auto fill is not available for this page" consistently. I am no longer able to click on a previous search entry and go to that site.

Bridge CS5.1 Tools are missing and there are no startup scripts available.

Brand new MBP with Creative Suite CS5. Not sure what happened to the Bridge Image Processing Tools that where readily available in CS4. I looked for the Startup Scripts mentioned in other forum posts but this folder is empty: Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CS5.1.
Why make us hunt for Startup Scripts?

I think you may be misunderstanding me.
With many advantages with using mail for this forum the disadvantage sometimes is you don't have oversight in the whole thread.
I was merely reacting on Curt with the CS5 and CS5.5 solution that solved some problems earlier this year but reading the thread again that seems not related to yours.
Shortly before Curt his post I read your post about renaming the default folder name (which to me sounds bad). Hence my reference to a solution of an older problem that was solved by creating a new folder with the 5.1 addition and copy the scripts in there
However I still don't understand why you are not able to have a normal setup after clean install.
Without having experience with Lion I really would try the Recovery Disk for resetting your user account. With Pre Lion you could do an Archive and Install and it seems Lion also has such an option.

Apps auto-launch on startup, despite System Prefs and quitting before shutdown.

All apps that were open before shutdown are relaunching themselves upon startup.
This behavior occurs even if I quit each application individually before initiating system shutdown.
This behavior occurs whether I tick or untick the following settings within System Preferences / General:
• Ask to keep changes when closing documents.
• Close windows when quitting an application.
This behavior occurs despite none of the apps being listed within System Prefs / Login Items.
Examples of auto-launching apps (behavior occured just now with these): TextEdit, Dictionary, Calendar, Contacts, Safari, Firefox, Excel, Acrobat.
I am the administrator and only user on this machine.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

USB Drives auto-mounting at startup?

I am new to the Mac, on little issue i have with my wonderful MAC is when i restart\start up the Mac, the USB Drives \ USB jump drives are not automatically mounted like they do in windows.
In order for it to be found, i have to unplug and reconnect the cable, there has to be away to automount these USB drives, any ideas? thanks.

Hi, Matt. Welcome to the Discussions.
This may be an issue with the firmware on the USB devices you cited. The same behavior has been noted with certain FireWire drives: some must be powered on before startup to be recognized, others are not recognized unless they are powered-up after after startup.
For your USB hard drives, check with the manufacturer to see if there is a firmware upgrade available for the enclosure. For your USB Flash Drives, there's generally no way to update the firmware: you'll have to live with the behavior and connect them after you startup your Mac.
Note that before either disconnecting or powering off any mounted external drive — FireWire or USB, flash drive or hard drive — Eject the drive using any of the following methods:
• Click the drive's Eject icon in the Finder Sidebar.
• Drag the drive's desktop icon to the Trash.
• Control-click the drive's desktop icon, then select Eject from the resulting context menu.
• In Disk Utility, select the drive, then either:- Click Eject in the Disk Utility tool bar.
- Select File > Eject Disk.
- Press Command-E.Good luck!

JNDI auto-Bind on Startup

I have a EJB 3 application that is using JNDI to use an LDAP server. However the application will be deployed in an environment where the LDAP server information (especially authentication) will not be available to it.
I have read that JNDI does not persist objects across server shutdown, so what I'd like to do is store the LDAP server specifics in a config file that will automatically be bound to the JNDI start when JBOSS starts. Ideally this would not require me to know anything about the implementation environment and could be a 'hands off' approach where as long as the file exists in the JBOSS directory the names will automatically bind.
Is there a way to bind a JNDI object at JBOSS startup (similar to the way you would define a datasource) in a seperate file and then lookup that predefined object, extract the LDAP server information and use it?
I am imagining something along the lines of this
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
LDAPConfigParams configParams = (LDAPConfigParams) ctx.lookup( "LDAPParams" );
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, configParams.getContextFactory());
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, configParams.getUrl());
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, configParams.getUserName());
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, configParams.getPassword());
env.put("java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary", "objectGUID");
InitialContext ldapContext = new InitialContext( env );
// use ldapContext as normal here

Although no one was able to help me, the lack of responses inspired me to look into other solutions.
JBoss supports JMX through mbeans. mbeans are managed by JBoss at startup time. There are (at least) two types of mbeans available in JBoss. I decided to extend a SubDeployerSupport mbean and implementing the XSLSubDeployerMBean. This enables me to get a hook into each new item being deployed (file added/modified) into the deploy directory.
You can configure the files it looks at by overriding the accepts(DeploymentInfo) method to filter out files that don't match on the particular suffix your interested in.
I created a custom xml file for my LDAP data sources that has the extension -ldap.xml, and configured my accepts function to trigger init on these types of functions. This gives me a hook into the config files of type -ldap.xml (either at boot or redeploy). I can then extract the XML and create JNDI objects corresponding to my LDAP config.
The only downside to this is that it ties me to the JBoss application server. Can anyone suggest a similar way to do this without requiring JBoss?

How to script an auto clicking program in AppleScript with multiple mouse locations

I have no experience in scripting but I want to make an auto clicking program where it click in 3 different locations on the screen in a sequence. Is this possible with to do with apple scripts? I am using a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) OSX Yosemite.

This is a python script wrapped in an Applescript.
See the 3 mouseclick(x, y); commands near the end that clicks 3 positions on the menu bar.
do shell script "
python <<-END
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
        theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
        CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
time.sleep(2);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent); # Save current mouse position
mouseclick(5, 10);
time.sleep(2);
mouseclick(200, 10);
time.sleep(2);
mouseclick(300, 10);
time.sleep(2);
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y)); # Restore mouse position
END

How can I make this AppleScript available as a control click menu?

This code was previously created in another question from 2009 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1881786?start=15&tstart=0), but the last person to comment on it was never given an answer. I wanted to see if this following AppleScript could be used as a control-click menu, so when I click on a folder, I can choose to run this script so set an icon as the folder image, instead of having to select both the image and the location. In other words, can I have a one-click method to set, say "cover.jpg" or "1.jpg" as the folder icon? Any help is appreciated.
Here is the code that works through the use of selecting the file and the folder:
--CODE (for AppleScript Studio script)
set srcpath to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Choose source image file.")
set dstpath to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Choose target folder.")
--set dstpath to dstpath's text 1 thru -2 -- remove last slash if necessary.
setIcon(srcpath, dstpath)
on setIcon(srcpath, dstpath)
set nsimg to load image srcpath
set nswks to call method "sharedWorkspace" of class "NSWorkspace"
set r to call method "setIcon:forFile:options:" of nswks with parameters {nsimg, dstpath, 0}
delete nsimg
return r
end setIcon
--END OF CODE

Jules,
Depending on the shape, and upon the appearance (varying width and/or knotting or whatever), it may be anything from a Rectangular/Polar Grid (bundled with the Line Segment Tool) to something intricate and difficult.

Safari Auto Starts at startup

Lately safari starts up automatically every time I boot up my computer. I do not remember this happening before. Why does it do it now? And is there a way to prevent it from opening at boot up.

Thanks Yang!-Now, I am learning all the time, I seen the accounts Login items area before , but falsely assumed the unchecked box meant it was not a login item...I see now that the checkbox is only whether it is hidden or not. Thanks for your willing help with a simple issue.
Sincerely Jim

Imessenger and Mail auto loading on startup

Does anyone know how to stop imessenger and mail from autoloading when I start up my mac? I have mountain lion OSX. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I am glad to see that William has got you sorted with the other option where the Dialogue box appears on Shut Down, Restart or Log out.
In the System Preferences > General Section is a setting about the individual windows of an app.
If this remains unticked then Messages will display the last windows that were on display at Quit.
This could be the main Messages window with the Chats and/or Buddy lists if you use it that way.
It also means if you Quit an App with the Preferences for the app showing then that window will appear on restarting the application.

Firefox 4 auto launches on startup on MacPro

My friend just bought a Macbook Pro - OS X is version 10.6.7
When Firefox 4.0 was first installed it worked fine, but then suddenly everytime you logon FireFox browser window automatically opens.
Thanks

To test to see if there is a problem with the profile (location where Firefox stores user data), try creating a new profile for use with Firefox 4 beta 8. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
If it works with the new profile, you can copy some of the old data such as bookmarks and passwords from the old profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
