Can AIR detect power status changes?

I'm trying to go through the API documentation and wondering
if there's a way for AIR to be able to detect when the computer
goes into power saving modes, like hibernation, etc, so that the
application can react accordingly. Anyone knows if this is
possible, or not at all?
Thanks!

These are the events which you can listen for - maybe one of
these will help you accomplish your goal....
activate
Dispatched when this application becomes the active desktop
application.
deactivate
Dispatched when the desktop focus is switched to a different
application.
exiting
Dispatched when the application's exit sequence is started.
invoke
Dispatched when an application is invoked.
networkChange
Dispatched when either a new network connection becomes
available or an existing network connection is lost.
userIdle
Dispatched when the user has been idle for the period of
time specified by the idleThreshold property.
userPresent
Dispatched when the user uses the mouse use or keyboard
after an idle period.

MacBook doesn't like power status change

If I connect or disconnect the AC adapter while my MacBook is shut and asleep, quite often (but not always) when I re-open the machine it has frozen and I get the message telling me to force shutdown/restart by pressing the power button for several seconds. This seems to be a new pattern of behaviour for my 1-year-old machine - it's only been happening in the last couple of weeks.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and also resetting the SMC but it still happened just now when I reconnected the Magsafe with the machine shut and asleep.
Advice welcome!

Yahoo Games Java - Pinochle for me - has been a consistent problem with all versions of Safari and OSX
BUT - has not worked at all with 10.5.x - 10.4.x was ok
However, for some reason works fine with Firefox
(although 'font smoothing' with latest Java 6.0 is now not so 'smooth' and the 'font smoothing' check box is not now available as an option, but will investigate that situation further as time permits)
Granted, with 10.5.x Safari can access the initial screens, but get the "Unable to connect to server" message window saying "one of four things could caused this: firewall, server down, stale page" but the most interesting is "not connected to internet" (ah, Yahoo, if not connected to internet how are we able to get to that screen?
Nevertheless, might be some 'configuring' possible between which Java will be used - 6.0 or 5.0 etc, will investigate that also.
But Apple
Hope you can get something figured out on this
Seems very very interesting that Firefox does work
But Safari, right out of the box, does not
Thanks, BC

T530 does not make typical ThinkPad Power Status Beeps

Hello,
I just got my ThinkPad T530. Things are going ok with it, the keyboard isn't as terrible as I had thought - but certainly didn't wow me like the keyboard on my T510 which I think was the best keyboard any ThinkPad ever had.
Anyway, something I have noticed, and that is sort of a problem for me, is that this computer is not making the typical "power status change" beeps that every other ThinkPad has ever made. You know, the dee-dum, dum-dee that go along with plugging or unplugging the AC power adapter. Also no single beep when it finishes going to sleep, or wakes up from sleep.
Anyone know how I get these back? I didn't see anything obvious in the BIOS or Power Manager.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hey brillat,
Could you tell us what version of Power Manager you have on your computer?
DETERMINING WHICH VERSION IS INSTALLED
1. Start Power Manager. The main screen will be displayed. 2. Click '?' mark at the top right of the main screen, and select the 'About Power Manager...' . The version will be displayed.
thanks!
Best Regards,
Hiro

Power Supply Status Changed

A while back our Xserve G5 went on UPS power for a few seconds. No big deal just a power blip.
Since then we get a "Power Supply Status Changed" message in the server log ever 12 seconds. I can't get it to go away. Server has been rebooted multiple times.
The OS Version is 10.4.1
Everything is functioning normally and there are no power problems. How do I stop this message?

We are also using the APC. Not sure which model, but we are also getting the same messages. We disconnected the cable early last week and the message is still going. We have been investigating all logs on our server for another problem which is where the server just stops being available on the network. To fix requires a restart using the power button to turn if off and then on again.
Then all is normal except for the "Power Supply Status Changed" error.
So far this is the only error we get that shows a problem exists.
Is anyone else also having the lockup problem?

Server Monitor shows all green for all components, but the log shows a red message every 12 seconds "Power Supply Status Changed". The power is coming through an APC UPS device, which also appears to be working fine. Any ideas?

How can I hide a contact's status changes?

It is a pain to scroll through the history of a conversation with all of the status changes mixed in with my conversations. Is there a way to suppress seeing these? It seems like I could hide these several years ago (perhaps with the older version of Chax) but I can no longer find this option anywhere.

Hi,
I have Chax 2.2.2 used with my iChat 4 computer
In the tab "Notifications" it does have a box that Needs Ticking to Show the Status changes in Messages. (I have not tried Setting it and then Unticking it to see if that works - sort of in reverse)
I also don't remember using it before to Set this.
I consider several of the Chax settings to mimic the same thing iChat 4 already does.
These maybe an hangover from previous version though.
Having said that their Site suggests using the correct version for the OS/iChat version you are using suggesting they were created from the Ground up or very close to it for each version of iChat
I have not seen anything on removing the Message's Notifications.

Exit for CJ20N where system status changes can be captured

Hi Experts,
I need exit for CJ20N where system status changes can be captured
for both the below cases
1) When WBS Element is having Networks inside it
2) when WBS Element is having no networks inside it
EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 --->>> ZXCO1U01 , will work for 1) , but not for 2)
i want an exit where status change gets captured for both cases 1 and 2 and
will do further processing according to client needs based on status change
Need to trigger IDOC on status change of WBS element.
If WBS is having network inside it , then network status changes also with WBS status change
and IDOC should trigger for WBS also.
I just want suitable exit / place for coding . Rest i can do.
if no suitable exit / BADI , then what is the best possible place where i can go for Implicit Enhancement
Best Regards,
Gaurav

I am kind of stuck in a similar issue. I need to perform custom validations on standard fields which cannot be done through OPSI or OPUC transactions. 0007 or 0002 User exits seem to assist on custom field creations/validations. However, I do see people posting the following BADIs which may be useful.
CO_SRULE_CHECK
PROJECTDEF_UPDATE
WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE (which you already tried)
WBS_FIELDS_FOR_ASSET
CO_SRULE_CDOC
Let me know if any of these worked out...

WRT120N can't detect internet

Hello,
Recently I bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio SVE1511HFXW) and I haven't been able to connect it to the internet wirelessly. I previously was working on a Sony Vaio VGN-NR series laptop that I had no problem setting up a wireless connection for. I ran my router set up disc on the new machine and basically everything got ruined. My other laptop lost it's wireless connection and connecting it with an ethernet cable didn't work either. So now both computers were not connected. Actually, all devices can't pick up the wireless anyway (I tried to get on netflix with my Wii and it didn't work) I restarted the router several times, reset it once and nothing happened. I could only connect with the cable after I reset the modem and router, but it's still saying it "can't detect an internet connection." When I ping the router I get an answer back.
Here's what I get when I run ipconfig in the command prompt:
C:\Users\Shinsei>ipconfig

Any sort of help would be appreciated!

You could have just checked only the wireless settings of your router to connect the new laptop (i.e. wireless name and wireless password) but anyway since nothing is working now then you have to start from scratch. Since you have reset the router back to defaults then your wireless settings from before got reset so then the wireless network that you will be picking up is linksys.
What you can do is this, connect your computer to the modem and make sure again that your internet is working fine. If you have Cable internet service, do ipconfig/all. Look for the Local Area Connection and take note of the Physical Address. Connect your router back to your modem and connect your computer as well to the router's ethernet port, check leds if okay (power should be solid and WLAN led should be lit up or flashing, ethernet port for your computer should be lit up as well). Now, access http://192.168.1.1 and use admin for the password (leave the username blank). Once you are on the Setup page, click MAC Address Clone on the purple or blue bar and set it to enable. You click after that Clone or Clone my PC's MAC. You compare the MAC Address on that page (value on the 6 boxes) to what you have written down as the Physical Address earlier. If they are the same, click on Save Settings. Once saved, you click Status on the black bar and from there, check if you have an Internet IP Address which is same IP Address that you will get when computer is plugged-in to your modem. You should be able to get online wired to the router after that. If you have DSL internet service, check what IP Address you are getting to the modem, if your modem's ip is 192.168.1.33 for example, on the router Setup page, change the IP Address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1. You may need to power down the router and modem after that and internet should be working. Otherwise if your DSL ISP needs the connection to be authenticated, then you will set the router's Internet Connection Type to PPPoE and use the account username and password from your DSL ISP.

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:
Vendor 02h Creative Labs

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

G4 DA can't detect new Aluminum Keyboard

I just got a refurbished Aluminum Keyboard off ebay (MB110LL/A) and it won't detect in either my Power Mac or my CRT iMac. I even plugged it into my wife's XP laptop and it detected it, bu couldn't install the driver. Is there a setting I need to change to get this going or did I just get a defective one?

Well, that doesn't happen with this keyboard. I have a windows keyboard that does that, when I plug it in, it says that it can't detect the keyboard and to press the button to the right of the shift key to try and detect it. That doesn't happen with the aluminum keyboard. And it still shows up as "vend_device" under the system profiler, which is just weird.

Can't detect a German PC wireless network I know is there

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I hope someone can help me.
I'm visiting friends in Berlin from Canada with my Powerbook G4 with OS10.4.11. I can't detect my host's wireless network even though I can detect 24 other wireless networks in her apartment building (I downloaded MacStumbler and used it to check). I know her network ("Jenny") is not hidden because she got a friend across the courtyard the same apartment building to check if she could see it on her computer this morning, which she could. I also tried to find "Jenny" by clicking on "Other" and then entering "Jenny" in "Network Name" and entering the WAP password my friend gave me (I also checked that with her so I know it is right) under both WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal. That didn't work either. I also followed advice on this forum and got rid of that stupid pop-up box saying "Your Network Settings have been changed by another application" when I clicked on System Preferences/Network
What should I do? All my friend knows is that she has a PC, she doesn't know the brand or model of her router or her ISP provider. If I can't solve this, I will be in big trouble as I had planned to stay in Berlin for a few months using my friend's wireless network to get online every day. I can get online fine via her router when I have a cable plugged into my computer in her flat, but I am staying across the courtyard in their second flat and we can't string a cable across the courtyard... I've never had problems before connecting with any PC wireless network, in Europe or N. America.
Very grateful for any help.

It won't let me do that. When I go to the Network window of my System Preferences, it says Location: Automatic, and it won't let me click on New Location or on Edit Locations - they are pale grey.
Also, it says Show Network Port Configurations and it gives me six: Internal Modem, Airport, Bluetooth, Built-in Ethernet, Built-in Firewire, VPN (L2TP) whatever that is, and Ethernet Adaptor (en2), and I don't know if that is the cable from my friend's router or the new stick adaptor I bought (it doesn't change, whichever I have plugged in), but all these are also pale grey and I can't click on them or on the boxes marked New Rename Delete or Duplicate.
Also the stick adaptor I bought is not showing up in my Finder window as an attached device - shouldn't it? This means I can't eject it safely when I want to. There are no instructions enclosed with it or on the manufacturer's website.
When I click on Network Status with the cable attached, it says I am currently connected to the Internet via built-in Ethernet with the IP address 192.168.0.112 so I guess built-in Ethernet must be the cable. So if the Ethernet Adaptor (en2) is the adaptor stick, maybe it isn't being recognized by my computer because it is on channel 13?
