Autorun / autostart

don't know where to post this question.....
i make discs for my students. most have minimal issues, but lately i have been asked how come i don't create an autorun so that the disc mounts and runs a nice graphic interface.
i can't seem to find a way to do this on a mac. i use Toast 7 to burn the discs and the only response i got in that forum was to google it. well i did, but what little i could find was pretty old and made no sense to me.
any ideas?

If you want to autostart a program called "setup.exe" at the root level of the disk, then you just put:
[autorun]
open=setup.exe
The "autorun.inf" file must be located at the root level of your disk. When you load the CD, Windows will see it there, read it, and do what it says in the file.
Here is a nice tutorial I found for you.
You cannot always count on autorun being available on any computer. It doesn't exist on most platforms, and though it is enabled by default on Windows, the user can disable it. Microsoft even recommends disabling it for security purposes.

AppleTV autostart and autorun a movie

I want my AppleTV to start and automatically run a looped movie.
How do I do this?
Also, can I set the AppleTV to autostart on "power interruption"?
Thanks!

AppleTV has no on/off siwtch or full software power off.
Unpluggibg/replugging the power restarts it - a power interruption would therefore have the same effect and make it restart.
You can loop a single movie but not a playlist.
You cannot however get it to play a particular movie automatically at startup.
Not sure if you could mod it and replace the stock AppleTV startup clip with your movie with looping flage set in Quicktime to achieve this.

AutoStart with flash player 9.0

How do I auto start a video with the flash player. In my code
for calling the swf file I've tried using all sorts of combinations
of the parameters autoStart, autorun, play, etc with either "1",
true, or ON as the value. I'm a typical MySpace user, and trying to
plug in video into my profile, but none of the auto start
combinations seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I tryed, and I still have this problem.
I also desinstall flash player and reinstall the 9.0.45 flash
player and I have no bug.
But it's really weird to have a bug with the 115 and not with
the 45, especially for a famous web site like youTube

AutoStart on a Mac

I just got some new software called CDEverywhere that is supposed to make a CD that AutoRuns or AutoStarts on both Mac and PC. The software states that Mac users need to enable AutoStart for this to work but I cannot find it.
It is a CD that has an HTML file on it. What I want is for a MAC user to put in the CD and the HTML file opens automatically. Any ideas?

The only method I've been able to track down for OS X (autorun was originally a feature in OS 9) is through the CD & DVD preference in System Preferences. You can select an action to occur when a music or picture CD or video DVD is inserted.
Perhaps you should address this question at the appropriate Macromedia forum or to their tech support assuming that there is no help available in the application's Help menu or printed documentation.

CD Rom Autostart

I'm thinking about making a CD Rom with Flash and I was
wondering about how to make the autostart on the CD. Is it
difficult? Probably not. Can anybody tell me how?
Tx

Creating an "autorun" CD is a bad idea. It violates the basic security of a computer.
All of the html files will probably be in the same folder. Images and other elements will be in other folders.
Only one of the html files will be the "start" page. This could be placed at the "top" directory (outside of the other folders) and be named clickme_tostart.html and as long as it points to the proper index.html (the true start page) you could use a "refresh" code. An example:
#<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= "html_files/index.html"></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML># (minus the # signs added here).

Autorun from CD

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for your help with this one. I know it is
quite an elementary problem but I just plain don't know the
answers.
I need to create a website that will be stored / run from a
CD rather than online and will be used to browse the contents of
the CD. My queries are:
1) How do I set the webpage to autoload by default so that
after the CD is inserted into the drive, the user is greeted by the
webpage rather than by the usual Windows' window? I assume it is a
script of some kind. Can anyone advise?
2) I've seen examples on CD/DVDs that autorun in a window
that doesn't look like a browser window because all the usual
browser menus at the top are omitted. (Although, I assume that it
is a browser window). Can anyone advise how that is done?
3) Are there likely to be problems with broken hyperlinks on
the CD? I assume I can create a local site directory and then
seamlessly transfer it to CD without compromising hyperlink
integrity. Is that right or should I expect problems with
hyperlinks / how do I resolve them if so?
Thanks again for your help with that.
D.

Google AutoRun Pro.
It consists of an .exe file and .inf file -- both of which
you add to the
DVD or CD at burn. When disk is inserted, autorun.exe
launches and opens
the page or application and file you specified in the .inf
file.

I'm trying to put a swf file on a dvd that will autostart using OS X

I'm trying to put a swf file on a dvd that will autostart using OS X and Director MX. I imported one swf file that has nested movie clips.
Some of them play and some don't.
Any suggestions?

The swf file runs fine on a computer. But now they want me to export it as a .mov and put it on a dvd that customers without computers can put in a tv/dvd player. They want it to auto start. When I export it as .mov, QuickTime only plays the first 20 seconds and not all of the nested movie clips play. They don't want it to play in a QuickTime player. Do I need to upgrade to QuickTime Pro? Any suggestions?Thanks

There is no autostart or autorun in OS X. Can you give more detail on the problem with the flash swf files?

Autorun at a CD on Apple Computers

Hi,
does anybody know how I can install a autorun file on a CD so that the CD starts automatically if I put it in the apple Computer ? For example with a html page.
Thank you,
Frank

Not sure if you can do it or not. Not much of a problem on Windows.
Anyway maybe this will help:
"The equivalent to AutoRun on Macs is called AutoStart. We are informed that this only works on OS9 and earlier; Mac OS10 via Toast only allows you to open a folder window and not an application.
MacImage for Windows says that it can create AutoStart CDs on a PC.
Other tools: Toast for Mac. CDEveryWhere.
We have not tested any of these products.
Keiser Photography have instructions for using Toast to make a CD that will AutoStart on a Mac as well as using ShellRun to AutoRun on Windows computers.
Filenames as seen by a Mac
By default, CDs created on a PC might have garbled filenames when viewed on an old Mac. Long filenames will be truncated to an "8.3" form, eg "index.html" may appear as "INDEX~1.HTM" on a Mac. However OS X 10.2.6+ recognises long file names.
However, a pre OS-X Mac user can install the shareware Joliet File System Extension, from http://www.tempel.org/joliet/, which will make long PC filenames readable. If your CD uses the Joliet format because it has long filenames, then suggest to your Mac users that they install this software to view the CD fully.
Therefore, if you have Mac users, it is best to ensure that your filenames are short, and provide instructions for viewing the CD manually, eg "View this CD by opening INDEX.HTM in your browser"."

Prevent Autostart of SWF

How do I disable the autorun of a presentation so that the
user has to click play for it to play??? This seems to me like it
should be a very standard option at export and I can't be the only
one who wants to allow users to choose when to start the
presentation. I need to embed the SWF in a page with other
instructions so I don't want it starting as soon as the page loads.
Do I have to convert to flv and use an embedded video player????
Surely not!
Thanks in advance for making this less frustrating!

I have similiar issue on Autostart. I have music loaded under
Background Audio option and this automatically starts playing on an
opening slide with a Button option - 'click to start'. How do I get
the audio-music to start with this click option?
thanks so much!
btw - I want to embed this swf file in a web page so I
thought I could use the code to not autoplay. I will attach that
code to see if the solution is here...

Preventing autostart

Windows XP. After each reboot, QuickTime insinuates intself into the AutoRun key of the registry. Removing it from the Run key does not help, as it comes back on the next restart. How to disable autostart once and for all?
Thanks,
-Ted

Correct.
The best you can do is, change the application (you have to change it anyway sooner or later otherwise you will not take advantage of all the Oracle pros and you application will not perform).
If you still want to try it without changing the application code, then I think, the best you could do is:
1. Rename <table> to <table_t>
2. Create view <table> as select * from <table_t>
create view <table> as select t.*, rowid rid from <table_t> t;3. Create instead of trigger on view <table>
create or replace trigger example1
instead of delete on <table>
begin
update <table_t> set deleted = '1' where rowid = :old.rid;
end;

TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. Autorun only shows the Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.
Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%. It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart. Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem. Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant. I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

Is there a way to make itunes autostart with windows in mini mode

Is there a way to make itunes autostart with windows in mini mode i.e the taskbar player mode where it is most less obstrusive . itune takes a lot of time to start under windows

Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes. Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

[SOLVED] Openbox autostart no longer working since upgrade

After the upgrade on May 14 2013 my autostart file no longer works. I tried renaming my autostart.sh to just autostart no luck.

Stuff that needs sudo is in my sudoers as "username hostname NOPASSWD: item1,item2,etc,etc". Nothing too exciting. Seems like if there was suddenly something wrong with my autostart file at least some of the stuff would run either way though cause of "&". Pretty puzzling this issue is.

Can't rename a single file to autorun.inf even all ntfs permissions are correct

I have this odd problem:
Logged in as Domin Administrator I couldn't rename or open for editing an existing file "autorun.inf" even though all the ntfs permissions were correct. Every other files in the same directory (mainly .swf, .docx, .js and .htm files)
are both editable and can be renamed.
When I deleted the file "autorun.inf" from the folder and tried to create a new one with the same name, OS (Windows Server 2008 R2) notifies me that I "need permission to perform this action". Furthermore OS notifies me that "You
require special permission from Administrators to make changes to this file". Neither can I copy a file named "autorun.inf" from another location to this folder. This is in spite of being logged in as Domain Admin.
In short: I can't create a file called autorun.inf in a folder!
Could there be some kind of extra locking concerning files named autorun.inf i.e. some protective mechanism in this particular folder's permissions or SRV2008R2 itself that I've missed. All the other folders allow me to create whatever files i like
into them.
I would very much appreciate if anybody can help me with this.

Yes, by default that will block any access to autorun.ini files. We use the same, so the issue sounded familiar, and of that I asked specificly to that :)
