Automatically close unused programs...

I've been wanting this for a while but it's just something I don't see happening on it's own, so I wonder if anyone has any ideas. Is there something that will monitor my windows, and close certain ones after a certain amount of inactivity? For example, I sometimes open a few dolphins and once I'm done go back to chrome. Well it would be nice if after 10 minutes of not looking at those Dolphin's, that they would close on their own. Similarly with my pidgin buddy list, if it could close the window after a minute. Overall this would help to keep the task manager uncluttered but give me access to those things perpetually open like the music player and im client.

Other than using the proper shut down of an app (Menu > Close or Exit), a powered on battery pull reboot will automatically shut down all processes running in the background.
I don't know of an app to do that for you. For instance, what if you want to allow something like Pandora Radio to run in the background, but the app you are looking for would automatically shut it down?

Blackberry 8330 - Automatically Close Unused Applications

I'm having a lot of trouble concerving battery life on my Curve 8330.
I have done all the usual recommended things to save the battery life.
I understand that one can do the ALT + ESC to view a list of open applications. However this can be cumbersome.
My questions specifically is...Does anyone know of any application or setting whereby applications might be automatically shut down when not in use, or when you navigate away without closing?
Ideally this would be someting that would only affect apps that you defined as not necessary to be running all the time.
Thanks!

My itunes program will open in windows 7, but as soon as I choose a tune, it automatically closes

I have installed Windows 7. My itunes program appears as normal when I open it. When I click on any song or book to play, it automatically closes down. I have tried reinstalling itunes with no success. I am also running Norton 360. If this continues, I won't be able to use the sync with my ipod. It does not have a wireless abillity. Help!!!

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

This is not a common problem and probably not related to the JRE directly. You have something installed on your system that is doing this. I hope for you it is some sort of trigger happy protection software which you can control yourself, but I would consider doing a full spyware, malware and virusscan sweep using a respectable piece of scanning software.
If you want to believe it is related to Java, then completely uninstall your JRE/JDK, do a ccleaner registry cleanup and then reinstall the JRE/JDK. If the problem persists, it really is not the JRE.

How do I import a clip when the window automatically closes?

I was unable to even open After Effects CC when I upgraded to OS Mavericks. Once I realized adobe released a patch for it (the 12.0.1 "trial" update), the program opened. I thought all was fine, until I attempted to import a new video clip. It would not let me even move the clip, let alone edit it, before giving me a "grouping" error, and then abruptly crashing. Today Adobe released the 12.1 update, which seems to be running ok, except the window for importing footage automatically closes once opened. I can no longer just drag a new clip in to my composition either. How can I get by this?

Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

Greetings all,
I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
The problem occurs when:
I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
Thanks,

Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck

Opening a pdf document automatically from the program

Hi guys,
I wonder if it's possible to 'run'/open from a standalone appliation a pdf document. I mean, my program produces a pdf file and it saves it on the local c drive. once this is completed i wonder how can i open it and show it to the enduser. (I want to save the time and hassle of locating it and double clicking the document)
thanks
peter

Let me elaborate a little more on what I am trying to do.
(1) A website (#1) is opened after entering a UID and PWD.
(2) Within website #1, a link is clicked which opens a second web app (#2) in a seperate window using window.open().
(3) Within website #2, a user can click on a link which opens a PDF as _SELF.
(4) If the user:
(a) exits out of website #1 by closing the brower
(b) we would like to automatically close the PDF from website #2 also, as this contains sensitive information and most of the time the users are forgetting to close it

When demand is high does os x mavericks automatically close open applications?

Hi,
I don't generally like to have lots of applications open but I do notice that even when I close some apps (such as iBooks or Preview) by clicking on the red dot, they are still showing as running in the Activity Monitor - Memory.
Will the OS automatically close them if I open other applications and the 'Memory Pressure' goes too high or will the MacBook just slow down until I mechanically quit them piecemeal fashion in AM?
NB: I'm am a recent ex-windows user so am not very familiar with macs.

To see which programs are running and to quit them, you can click on the Apple symbol in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and click on "Force Quit." Any programs that are open will show up in there. To close them you can double click on them in the list and you will see the task bar at the top change to that program. For example, if you see that Safari is open in the list, then, when you double click on it, the task bar will change at the top to show that you are now in the Safari program. To close it all you would have to do is to click on "Safari" and out of the drop-down box, choose "Quit", and it will close the program.
Or, you can click on the Apple symbol, and "Force Quit." Once the list pops up, select the one that you want to close and then click on "Force Quit" down below the list. This will bring up a message asking you if you are sure that you want to close it, or something to that effect.

Automatically close window after processing

hi
In my program, I open a detail-screen in a new window (target=_blank in the link properties). Users can change details of the record on that screen.
What i want to do, is automatically close the window after the record has been processed.
When I add "javascript:window.close()" to the Button's URL, it closes the window. However, this does not work on the Branch option, which is called after the processes.
I also tried the option that's mentioned in the "how to create popups" tutorial, with a piece of javascript in the header (a simple function with a close() in it), which is called by the branching process. This doesn't work either. I get a "This page cannot be displayed" page.
So my question is: how can I automatically close the window after the record has been saved?

Can you make core center automatically close after being called on startup?

Can you make core center automatically close after being called on startup so it can set cpu fan speed to a slower fixed speed then exit?
If core center really cant do such a simple task then can speedfan or another program?

Quote from: bassmadrigal on 13-July-05, 07:42:36
Why don't you want them running. Speedfan has a very small footprint.
Just seems unnecesary seeming as it does its task as soon as it runs and its changes then stay applied. Speed fan is probably better but core center takes 10mb.
Quote from: syar2003 on 13-July-05, 07:57:02
You dont have to have it running to set a user specified fan rpm .
Once it's set it is stored in the corecell/cmos chip on the motherboard .(until a cmos reset) .
So to answer your question .
There is no need to have it autostarted at each boot ...
Thats how i have used it .
Only reason to have it running is with MSI's "CnQ" control of the fan , varies with the load of the processor
Thats strange for me the speed resets to default as soon as I restart my pc (about when the bios engages which is however tangibly after the graphics card fan revves up to its full speed). Depending on the temperature of the proccessor it goes to 3300rpm (less than 42c) or 4500rpm (too loud for ~45c IMO and MSIs "cool&quiet" option seems to agree, it doesn't even set it as high as 3300rpm)

Why does Powerpoint automatically close?

When I choose to embed rather than link my Powerpoint presentation within Captivate 4, my Powerpoint program automatically closes. Is this normal and can it be prevented?
-Rob

Hi Rob,
My experience has been that if I do not have PowerPoint open when I choose to "Edit PPT" through Captivate, once I save the changes it goes ahead and closes PowerPoint. However, if I have launched PowerPoint independently, I can still edit through Captivate but PowerPoint remains open even after I save the changes.
Is your system behaving differently? I have not tested this with PowerPoint 2007 - is that what you're using?

Can't get itunes. I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program. It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program I get the following message:
ITunes has stopped working. My two options are: Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program.
It seems that my entire library is not there. If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer?
I've even tried installing again and nothing works. Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
Thanks

JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
created in JS using the Dialog object.
