Can u get software that shuts down computer

can u get software that can log off a user after 1hr or 2hr or limit a user to 1-2 hours per day on a macbook air/pro?

Im pretty sure you can limit user time via parental controls in system preferences, perhaps for the other question as well.

How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

Sorry, there is no feature for that built into Firefox, and I haven't seen an add-on to add that feature to Firefox.

Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

Try this to start:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

While using reliance netconnect getting message to shut down computer and restart

I have macbook pro os x 10.6.6. I am using reliance netconnect broadband+ with my mac but after 10 or 15 mins using internet i am getting message that i need to shut down and restart my computer. I am getting this message all the time. I find out that i need some drivers to fix this problem.
any help
Manohar

Hey Guys, I Had the same issue with a Reliance Broadband+ modem with model no. AC2736 while I was using it with my Macbook Pro containing OS X 10.6.7 (I recently updated the OS so its now 10.6.8) after using the modem for sometime I had a prompt in dark screen popped up in 5 different languages asking me to force restart the computer and I did it. The problem persisted after repeatative trials of resolving it by means told by Reliance customer support and also mentioned in different internet forums.
Then I went to the dealer and asked them to exchange the modem because its a problem with the modem (or software) and then to called Reliance customer support for a proper and effective solusion. After repeatative trial the modem manufacturer's athorised accociate in Calcutta comfirmed that ZTE does not have any update for Mac OS X 10.6.5 onwards so as of now, there is NO solution for this problem (confirmed first by ZTE and later Reliance). So if you guys are having any problem with this modem and the its still under warranty, call the customer support, they will take this modem back and refund your money as they promised to do in my case.

Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How can i get software off my mac laptop that was put on there by accident ?

how can i get software off my laptop that was put on by accident

Either use the uninstaller provided by the developer or, if there is no uninstaller, simply trash the software - be aware that some auxiliary files may remain, depending on the software.
What type of software is this anyway?

Yes. Switching to Mac might be overwhelming at first, but it is not difficult. I Just started using Macs regularly about 9 months ago after using only Windows based pc's for over 15 years. Macs come with TextEdit , but you can also purchase MS Office for Mac or use Apple's version, called iWork.Yes, you can partition the hard drive of a Mac. Read these also: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/. With regular use of a Mac, you will be able to use it without even thinking about it, just like how you learned to use a WIndows pc.

How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.

Help, I can not quit safari or shut down my computer since updating to Lion.

Can some one help?
Since updating to Lion, I can not quit Safari or shut down my computer.

Several ways to force quit when you can't quit an app normally.
Go to your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then from the drop down menu select Force Quit.
You can also force quit an app using the Activity Monitor app located in /Applications/Utilities.
You should be able to shut down your Mac by holiding down the power button until the screen goes black. Then restart as usual.
