Disable Auto Logout

Hello,
Can anyone please point me in the right direction for disabling auto logoff?
The option is not available anywhere in the System Preferences.
I need the account to stay logged in so a software package can access a mounted share.
Many Thanks!
Glenn

I'm not sure I understand the question - there is no auto-logout (at least by default).
Either way, you shouldn't need to have an account logged in for mounts to stay active - if that's the case then I suggest you're mounting them incorrectly
That said, without more detail of what it is you're trying to do, it's hard to be sure.

OEM 10g Auto Logout

Hi altogether,
is there anybody who knows how to disable auto-logout? I've searched the profiles and roles, but evething seems to be o.k., in the default-role every option is 'unlimited'.
Thanks a lot
best regards
Andreas

Yah, I found the official metalink note:
1. Navigate to the EM OMS $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/config directory.
2. Make a backup copy of the emoms.properties file and then open the original file with a text editor. Go to the bottom of the file and add the line: oracle.sysman.eml.maxInactiveTime=60. This will set the idle session time to 60 minutes before disconnecting the session.
3. Stop the Management Service and restart it.
emctl stop oms
emctl start oms
This setting will increase the timeout to 60 minutes instead of the default 15 minutes.

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
I only found instructions for CS5:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html
does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
thanks.
edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

that is gone, thanks.

Auto Logout when idle not working for transaction iview

Hi,
When we open an SAP system using transaction iview and if the screen is idle for 30 mins, auto logout doesn't seem to be work.
We have verified that rdisp/gui_auto_logout parameter is set to 1800 i.e., 30 min. which a default value. Do we have to activate this service or its activated by default? Let me know if any other parameter needs to be configured.
Also, is there a way to detect multiple sessions when SAP transaction is executed like the way SAP Logon pad detects when user has logged in into SAP system on different PC?
We are using NW portal 7.01 and IE 7.

Vaibhav

Hi
the param icm/keep_alive_timeout does only that if within this time interval new data arrives over the network from the partner, the ICM attempts to keep the connection open once it has been established. If, for the existing connection, there is no further communication within the specified time period, the ICM terminates the connection. and this is a static param so if u change this it needs a sys restart and the param rdisp/plugin_auto_logout is also dependent on the above param as then it delets only the user context after the time period is reached not the work process context and the param login/disable_multi_gui_login works only for dialog log ins not for prta and as far as my knowledge there is no other way to detect this but i heard like by doing some code changes u can know something regarding that.
Thanks & Regards

Disabling auto-update doesn't work

I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
Recommendations?

As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
I've been testing; here's what i discover.
1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
2. now I exit FF.
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
3. i restart FF (#1)
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
4. i close FF
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
5. I restart FF (#2)
NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
This is obnoxious.
I expect better from Mozilla.
Suggestions?

How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
Hi Team,
I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
Regards
Sakshi

Can I disable auto-sync on Shuffel iTunes 7.3 Vista OS

It seems odd that everytime I make a change to a single song on my iPod, iTunes performs a sync.
For example, I want to uncheck several songs loaded on my shuffel, but iTunes performs a sync after each time I de-select a check-box.
Can I disable automatic syncing after each change to a song or podcast on my shuffel?
Thanks

Disable Auto Orientation only in a specific frame!

Hi there!
I appreciate if you please guide me with your experience in Mobile App design.
My App contains 5 frames of data (movieclips), that each frame has 2 designs:
1- Stand mode design    (portrait)
2- Wide mode design     (landscape)
So far it works great and I have published my App both on Google Play and Apple Store.
Frames structure is as follows:
frame   1            Loads External Data
frames 2-6         Each frame contains 1 MovieClip designed based on mobile "Stand mode"
frames 22-26     Each frame contains 1 MovieClip designed based on mobile "Wide mode"
(Example: contents of frame 2 and 22 are the same, also 3 & 23 ... 6 & 26)
(frame 2 is STAND design, 22 is WIDE design, and so on)
In "Air Setting Dialoge", I have selected aspect ratio "Auto" and "Auto orientation".
And I have this code in Frame 1 to do the rotation trick:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
               setPosition();
function setPosition():void
        //Phone turned from "Wide" to "Stand"
               if (stage.stageWidth < stage.stageHeight)
                              //App is now in "Wide" mode - means between frame 22 to 26
                              if (currentFrame>20)
                                             //go to the same position of App but in "Stand" mode
                                             gotoAndStop(currentFrame - 20);
               else
                              //Phone turned from "Stand" to "Wide"
                              if (currentFrame<20)
                    //go to the same position of App but in "Wide" mode
                     gotoAndStop(currentFrame + 20);
Well, and finally my question:
1- Is this way I have programed my App to rotate, a proper approach?!
      (in this way I can easily arrange objects on screen and also position them based on math calculations)
2- If I want to disable auto rotation only when app reaches specific frames, what should I do??
   (for example I want the app Not to auto oriente in Frame 6 and 26., but it rotates in other frames)
Hope it was not confusing and I cant wait to check out your valuable guidance!
All the best and thanks a lot for your time.

Hi there all!!
Still I have no answer for my question No1, BUT I could find my answer to the 2nd question and here it is for your kind notice:
Special thanks to Daniel Dura
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/screen_orientation_apis.html
I just added this code to my first Frame:
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, onOrientationChanging);
function onOrientationChanging(event:StageOrientationEvent ):void
          if (currentFrame == 6 || currentFrame == 26)
                    event.preventDefault();

How do I disable auto select for the path selection tool?

For the move tool you can choose to disable auto selection, auto select a group, or auto select a layer. By default though the path selection tool autoselects a layer. How can I disable autoselection?

I can’t seem to reproduce what you describe.
Please elaborate, possibly with the help of some screenshots.

Hi Chaitanya,
I don't think theres a specific parameter to achieve this, but you can set the value of rdisp/gui_auto_logout to 10 in one of the instances and create a new logon group for this users.
Hope this help!

Disabling auto-complete on corp address book

LDAP attribute for a per-user option:

Per-user preference (option), if present overrides the system-wide setting.So it does. Unfortunately there is no way for the end-user to change this setting via the default Convergence interface.
I've logged an RFE to have an option added however I still don't understand what the use-case is:
