Auto-Shutdown when ATV3 Sleeps?

Hey Guys,
Hopefully I've got the right place.
I'm wanting to know if there is a way I can set my computer to auto-shutdown when the apple TV3 is put to sleep?
Running Windows XP
I can set a task to schedule a shut-down at a specific time, but this wont always be the best option as partner can stay up lat and watch it.
Guess I'm just wondering if there's some advanced script or anything that will pick-up on itunes when its in sleep mode, and then set computer for shutdown?
And maybe just another thing to note, the drop down box below for product doesn't even have ATV3 listed haha
Tks
Steve

>I'm talking about a setting on my computer to shut itelsef down
All computers can already be set to do that.
>Setting the computer to shutdown on idle is an on-going argument I guess as well
Argument about what? This is a standard feature on any computer and has been for over a decade. If you would like to take adavanage of it then set it to do that.
>Is streaming considered the computer being in idle mode?
No, the computer is actively running to server content and is receiving constant WAKE_ON_LAN requests.
>Becuase it's just sitting there not doing anything
Not true. It is serving the content which is a VERY active process.

E72 Auto Shutdown when I am in Online Mode

Hello,
My problem is described in the title : when I switch to the online mode, my mobile shutdown immediatly.
I tried to do a soft reset, then a hard reset, and the I update the firmware whih the last version.
I also tried to use my mobile with the sim card inserted, but in offline mode : It works good.
It works very good, with any shutdown (wifi, gps, video : no problem).
I live in France, and my operator is SFR.
I read somewhere that the problem is caused by the "dual mode".
So I inserted my sim card, switched-on my mobile in offline mode, then I went to the connetion panel, swithed to an online moden and quickly, I changed the connection by GSM.
Result :
It worked during one entire day in online mode, but now, it is the same problem ... :/
(works very well in offline mode, and shutdown when I am in connected mode).
I was thinking that it is SFR who shutdown my mobile (or lock) my phone (remote phone locking?), because SFR thinks that my mobile is a stolen mobile.
Indeed, when I'm going to my online account (SFR), I have the information about the current used mobile, and this is my old mobile which is displayed (especially when my Nokia phone was working good).
Maybe any of you already had this problem ?
And maybe I have to ask SFR about this matter ?
Two words about the story of my E72 :
I had a problem with my E72, in december, so I tried to repair it and then, I forgot him.
But last week, I tried to change the battery and surprise : it worked!
But I forgot the lock code, so I locked my phone .. Then I went to a official Nokia center, and they unlock my E72.
Maybe since this moment SFR doesn't recognize my E72 as mine ?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
And I am very sorry about my very bad english.
Thank you,
Romain.

APC UPS won't auto shutdown

I am using an Intel 2Ghz Intel Duo iMac with 10.5.2 and recently purchased an APC UPS Back-UPS ES 350.
The Energy Saver control panel recognizes this device and all seems to work well - however - no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to do an auto shutdown when I remove external power.
I have tried all combinations of settings - even tried the power chute software (then uninstalled). No luck. The thing just sails along until power is all out.
Anyone else having similar problems or know of solutions. I can't seem to find anyone with similar problems.

Hey Matt,
I have the same issue, APC Back-ups 1300 with PowerChute installed. It is recognizes and knows the UPS has swtiched to backup power but never triggers the configured auto shutdown. I've tried both the standard UPS config and the PowerChute config.
I had to get a updated version of PowerChute that "worked" with the Intel processor, made no difference.
Any luck yet?

Laptop automatic shutdown when Arch startup

My laptop automatic shutdown while in arch linux startup but i already enable phc_cpufreq undervolt and its voltage and also i added cpufreq_ondemand modules
but when the time the system boot black background with text the startup suddenly said temperature max reach 70C and it post shutdown after a 5 second the laptop shutdown...eventhough my pentium -m can reach 100C
when after waiting about 10 minutes and i turn on the laptop back it go smoothly startup and i can log in to DE.It never shutdown after that even i was using the laptop 100% load but if i restart the pc it will go to startup and post the msg reach temperature max and auto shutdown
anyone here can help me to disable archlinux kernel or whatever startup process that automatically shutdown the laptop
phc vids show my correct vids so i got a feeling it only activate if the system manage go to DE kde and loggin but not when on boot Startup archlinux

I had this problem on my ThinkPad r51p which would suddenly say critical temperature reached and shut down. It was the same with different linux distros and FreeBSD as well.
I found no other solution to the problem but writing a small script that I always had running in the background:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
$slow = FALSE;
while(1) {
$temperatur = `cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature | grep temperature | awk ' { print $2 } ' `;
if((int)$temperatur > 85 && !$slow) {
// print "Slowing down".$temperatur." C";
system("echo -n 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq"); $slow = TRUE;
} elseif((int)$temperatur < 80 && $slow) {
// print "Speeding up".$temperatur." C";
system("echo -n 1700000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq"); $slow = FALSE;
sleep(3);
?>
But most likely there is a more elegant solution to it than this.
And, btw, Do NOT try this script unless you know exactly what your doing and the settings are right for your CPU

Hi All,
Gmatroni it should only need cti enabled but i have tried it with the control groups as well to no avail.he
Also tried deleting and recreating the application user.
Rob,
Yes this was also my thinking.
I forgot to add i have tried upgrading the UCM to 7.0.3 and CUE to 7.0.3 to try and erradicate the problem.
The UCM is now back at 7.0.1 and the CUE at 7.03.
The compatiblity matrix said they should be compatible.
I still believe this is some kind of application/software incompatibility issue.
Maybe you could recommend a sugested patch?
Cheers

Windows task bar no longer auto hides when I fullscreen a flash video.

Like the question reads, my task bar is no longer auto hiding when I full screen flash videos in firefox. Other than the obvious issue of it just being unsightly and annoying, It also causes a few other problems. One being that the computer no longer recognizes that a fullscreen video is playing so it goes to screen saver, and goes to sleep at its normally timed intervals.

If you're using higher DPI settings, please check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" on 'firefox.exe' (=> right-click - Properties - Compatibility tab).

Mythtv, auto shutdown no longer working, scheduler.cpp ?

Following a recent update the automatic shutdown of my backend is no longer working (well, at least not reliably).
I have 3 scripts set up in the relevant sections of the mythtv-setup to check if myth is ok to shut down, set the new wakeup time and perform the actual shutdown. These scripts still work alright, but the backend is not initiating the shutdown any more in some cases.
Lots of trial and error makes me think that this is somehow related to scheduler.cpp, but I am not sure if this is the case or how to fix it.
I think I have established a pattern:
Scenario 1:
- Boot backend
- do nothing else (e.g. start remote frontend or mythfrontend on the backend)
- automatic shutdown does not work
Scenario 2:
- Boot backend
- start remote frontend
- shut down frontend
- automatic shutdown does not work
- restart backend service (without reboot)
- automatic shutdown works
I also notice that in scenario 2 (when automatic shutdown works) there are a whole heap of these kind of messages right until shutdown occurs:
2013-04-29 19:18:07.592125 N [660/738] Expire autoexpire.cpp:641 (SendDeleteMessages) - Expiring 156 MB for 1073 at 2013-04-13T11:50:20Z => Hulk

In scenario 2 (successful) I see the following in the log just before the above auto expire stuff:
Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2307 (HandleRunSchedulerStartup) - Scheduler: Seem to be woken up by USER
then a whole heap of auto expiry stuff and finally:
Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2862 (CheckShutdownServer) - CheckShutdownServer returned - OK to shutdown

sudo /home/laffi/scripts/MythShutdown
In scenario 1 (unsuccessfull shutdown) I also get
Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2307 (HandleRunSchedulerStartup) - Scheduler: Seem to be woken up by USER
and then autoexpiry, but then, once a frontend connects:
ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1385 (HandleAnnounce) - adding: frontend as a client (events: 0)
I don't get autoexpiry of files and no shutdown, both of which I believe are initiated by scheduler.cpp
I also noticed the following in the logs when auto shutdown does not work:
2013-04-29 15:40:36.046359 I [648/848] ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1385 (HandleAnnounce) - adding: mythbackend as a client (events: 1)
which does not seem to appear in the logs when auto shutdown works.
Any ideas ? I have found very little (next to none) regarding scheduler.cpp when searching.

The other side of the VPN is a TMG server hosted at our main office. I can connect to it off site, and others were connected to it remotely as well, but for some reason users at that remote site can no longer connect to the VPN.
I talked to my ISP wondering if there was something that was blocked due to the change from dhcp to static IP addresses, but they don't see anything.

Time Machine backup disappears when iMac sleeps

Tried finding this topic but could not find the specifics. I have an Intel iMac running 10.6.7 and I use a Mercury enclosure with a Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA for Time Machine backup, connected with FireWire. Every time my Mac goes to sleep overnight, the next morning, the Time Machine icon disappears from the desktop. It's been disconnected, because when I run Check Time Machine, the log reads thusly:
<<Thu Apr 21 10:29:30 com.apple.backupd-auto Not starting scheduled Time Machine backup - time machine destination not resolvable.
Thu Apr 21 12:30:05 [0x0-0x2d22d2].backupd-helper Not starting Time Machine backup after wake - failed to resolve alias to backup volume
>>
Occasionally I'll get the error message on the Mac that a device has been "improperly disconnected" but most of the time when it sleeps the TM drive icon just goes away (even tho the backup drive is still on).
Any ideas? Can I fix this or have to live with it? Are there alternatives to TM that may work better?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Best,
Mike

I had the same problem as Bru-Hed, but with a Samsung G3 Station 1 TB with USB-connection. After waking up the MAC the message "improperly disconnected" appeared. Was happy with the solution you gave and changed the power save settings accordingly, the drive holds its power, but....... things did not change. Switching off the MAC and restarting gives no problems with the back-up drive, but after waking up I have to reinstall the back-up drive every time by disconnecting and connecting the USB-connector. After choosing the drive again in Time Machine, everything works properly until the next time the MAC goes asleep......
Any other solution to this problem ?

One application "failed to quit" on auto shutdown

This has been happening daily now for perhaps a month, and it's got me stumped. I can't identify any pattern or anything.
I have my system scheduled to shutdown overnight and start up in the morning, and have had this same setting for years. What's happening lately is that the unattended shutdown apparently times out and I get a message saying logout failed "because the application [X] failed to quit." Now the really weird bits -
'X' is almost literally a different application every day, and it's rarely if ever attributable to an unsaved document. I think it's happened at least once with every single one of the applications I regularly have running. Sometimes it's an application I've used in the course of the day, and other times it's one I haven't touched. But it happens every day.
if I manually select the shutdown menu command at any time, including after finding that the auto shutdown has again failed, the shutdown runs smoothly with no application failing to quit.
I've run 'repair disk' in Disk Utility and also Disk Warrior and applejack several times each, as well as a weekly scheduled batch of maintenance tasks (using Cocktail). None of these operations has changed the behaviour come shutdown time.
Has anyone else seen this? Solutions anyone? Thanks.

I'm 'bumping' this one.
Still happening very consistently, and becoming a real problem. Since originally posting I've run all the disk operations many times over, as well as one or two system updates at least. Nothing has changed, it just happens like this every night.
The only thing I can offer as a (sort of) pattern is that the application that's most often the one reported as preventing logout is HistoryHound. And it would appear to be one of the first ones the system tries to quit in its shutdown, since most of the apps are still running. However it does still vary - it happens on a different app sometimes, and it happens on some app when HH wasn't even running. So not sure that's much of a clue - unless perhaps certain apps are taking longer to quit than the system expects (or something??? - scratching for clues here ...... )
Can anyone help? Please ....

Safari Auto Shutdown in Yosemite

Hi All,
Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, my safari will auto shutdown itself. There is not telling when it will auto shutdown but usually if I left it open overnight or during the day. I'm not sure if its considered a crash because usually a crash window will prompt telling you the app has crashed. I have at least 80GB free space and my iMac is only a year old therefore it can't be hardware problem. I would have other apps like iTunes and iPhoto or Mail opened and they stay open throughout.
Anyone has the solution for this?
Thank you!

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the info. Just tired it and left over night and still Safari disappeared when I check in the morning.

Power button - orderly shutdown instead of sleep?

Howdy,
We recently had a power outage in our office, and although our servers are all on UPSes, we reached the end of the batteries and had to shutdown the machines. Some were Linux, some were Windows, some were Mac Xserves. The only servers that wouldn't perform an orderly shutdown when the power button was pressed were the Xserves.
I know that you can make the machine go to sleep when you press the power button, but that's not quite enough for us. We actually want the Xserve to shut down completely. Can this be done? I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me.
All the best,
Jeff Kirk

Assuming the Xserves are attached to an appropriate UPS each this is easy.
Make sure the UPSes and Xserves are connected by either UPS or serial cables and go to System Preferences > Energy Saver. Switch the pop-up at the top to UPS and you should get a series of things you can select from to turn off your computer in an orderly fashion - by time on UPS power, time left etc.
Note this is taken from a 10.4 install but 10.5 should be similar. If your machine doesn't acknowledge the UPS that means that they're not communicating. If the Xserves share a UPS then you're on your own for scripting some solution where the one connected to the UPS tells the others to shut down.

Battery problem, anntena or motherboard? pleas help.

it could be a motherboard problem. Last month I spilled liquid on to my iphone and since I didn't have warranty for it I had to take it to a "phone doctor". He fixed it but mentioned that motherboard is working fine but he can not say for sure for how long it will last, and that I may experience some wierd problems. I'm having this exact problem the day I got my iphone back.
Well no longer but the solution still seems wierd. I turned on the "location services" because I saw in the "system services" screen that "cell network search" was turned on. I figured if I don't screw with location services, it would be okay. So, after three hours, I terminated the sleep in 10-20-30 minutes and 1 hour intervals, it seems I no longer have the problem but I'm going to sleep over it to be sure. Also make sure to turn on the "auto" option on the "carrier" menu.
I will post the outcome if I don't forget about this page.

Should an auto-shutdown because of critical battery change kernel_task usage at all?

I only ask because when my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011) 10.7.2, shutdown because of low battery, I put it on charge. The next day when I booted it up again it started running super-mega slow. The only reason I can find for this is kernel_task at 330mb, and about 300 % CPU.
It runs fine in Safe Mode.
The whole auto-shutdown is the only change I made between normal speed and claw-my-own-eyes-out speed.

Fixed:
Plugged in power supply and rebooted, now it works fine.
