Hi,
Kindly note the process id in Sm66 go to Sm50 select the process,go to Administration Tab and cancel the process.
It will re-creates the new W/P.
And if u r unable to kill the process id through the SM66, Kindly log on in to the Appl.server kill the process at OS level.
With the command "Kill -9 <process id>".
Once u log off the end user kindly tell him wait for some time i.e., around 2Mins. Before that u can check the entire system.

Help needed - automatic log in on public computer. How to get rid of the account.

Hi there
Recently while on vacation, my son logged into a public computer on his ichat. Unfortuantely, it was clicked as automatic log in.
Now we are back home and have realized that someone has been accessing his account.
We have tried deleting the account from our home computer, however, it does not delete it from the public computer.
What will happen if we change the password on our home computer? Will the public computer be prompted to re-login with the new password, and therefore won't be able to?
Help please

hI,
Yes change the Password and they will not be able to login.
That is change the Password at the server you are using.
Either AIM itself for AIM name or iForgot for @MAC.com or MobilMe names
Login to your Google account and change the password there in your Account Settings
With any other Jabber Account you will have to use the third Party app you used to get the accounst Name set up.
Then Change it in iChat.

Freezing Around Logging Off or Sleeping

I have noticed that occasionally (probably on average around once every one to two weeks) my computer will freeze around one of the two following events: logging off or the computer going to sleep.
When logging off, my computer will sometimes freeze after I select log off from the Apple menu. This is characterized by the mouse pointer not moving (maybe this is different than the computer freezing). I can even log back in, but the mouse pointer still doesn't move. The only way I have been able to resolve this is by holding the power button down to manually shut the computer down.
When going to sleep automatically, the computer also sometimes freezes. In this case the computer goes into a state like when the computer screen sleeps, but the entire computer doesn't sleep (the white light comes on, but doesn't pulse). The fan begins spinning significantly faster. However, I can't wake the computer. The only way I have been able to resolve this is again by manually shutting the computer down.
It doesn't seem like these two occurences would be related at all. Also, short of an occasional 'unexpected quit' in an application, my computer seems to function properly, and the freezing incidences are relatively infrequent as I mentioned.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening or how to fix the situation would be welcomed.
Thanks, Joshua213

Hi Joshua213!
How much space is available on the Hard Drive?
Have you run Repair Disk?
Also you should perform system maintenance procedures.
You will find excellent tips in these links.

I can't log off from icloud after changing apple ID

Hi,
I recently changed my apple ID; and bummer, I forgot to log off icloud before doing so.
now I managed to log off icloud on my iphone (for somehow it just let me do so); but my ipad mini wouldn't let me log out/delete the previous icloud.
It constantly asks for password to close 'find my ipad'; which i typed both the old and new passwords, yet it wouldn't let me log off. Tired to find the password (just in case I forgot?); email doesn't come and security question is stuck at my DOB which should be the same. STUCK STUCK, very frustrating.
Both devices use ios 8.1
Any ideas? Much appreciated!

If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
I looked up here and solved the problem by changing my apple ID back to the previous one, log off, then changed back to the new ID.

I logged onto my email on a public computer. Now I can't log off. Please help!

What exactly do you mean with 'I can't log off'?
Typically you wouldn't use Thunderbird on a public computer.

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — anonymize before posting.

Computer refuses to shut down/log off

I have a MacBook running the latest version of OS X and it's exhibiting some very peculiar behavior. As the title suggests, it refuses to shut off or allow users to log off, furthermore, some applications don't open or work properly. I ran a verify disk and permissions and they've come back with zero errors. What should be my next step in troubleshooting these issues?

Hello,
If your MacBook refuses to Shut Down, try this using the keyboard command for Force Quit. Command + Option + Esc. That will bring up the Force Quit window. If there any applications running, they will be listed there and your computer will not shut down until those processes stop.
As for applications not opening. Try locating and send their preference files to the Trash. I'll use iPhoto for an example. It's preference file looks like this:
com.apple.iphoto.plist It's located here: MacintoshHD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. In that Preferences folder are the .plist folders for the applications you use. Send the .plist files to the Trash. It's ok.. your MacBook will create new .plist files for you You will have to reset your preferences on these applications but considering they aren't opening anyway, this might help.
Also, if you haven't already done so get a good disk utility that you can run to clean out caches and log files and repair permissions all in one fell swoop. I use Onyx, it's free and it's here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html Download and install Onyx. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and reboot.
Hopefully something I've suggested will help.

Firefox is filling the entire screen so that the controls are off the top & bottom of the screen, & I have to log off the computer to get out of Mozilla.

Usually, there are controls at the top & bottom of the screen, & I can log off whatever program I'm in, but now Firefox is filling the whole screen: I can go from one tab to another within Firefox; however, I can't get out of Firefox without logging off the computer.

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the title bar and status bar do not show.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
Also make sure that you are not in "View > Full Screen" mode.
Window sizes and positions are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].

How can I stop my computer from logging off automatically when the computer is dormant for a few minutes?

I must have changed a setting by mistake.
Now, after a period of dormancy, my computer shuts down all apps and logs off.
How can I stop it from doing that?
I've tried to retrace any recent steps in the Preferences, but to no avail.
Steve

Niel, thanks for putting me on the right track. I had to go to the "advanced" section of the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences to find that option. I had almost given up searching the 4 tabs on the main page in vain.
But I found it and it's turned off
Thanks again
Steve

N200 the computer isn't logging off

My computer has major shutdown problems. When I try and shut it down the logging off screen just stays forever or until I shut it down manuali (press the power button for 5 sec) Then it has problems re-booting, but after several tries it opens Vista. But then it chokes on the sidebar and I always have to shut that program down and I can't even run task manager.
I've tried to run it in safe mode but that doesn't work.
Im running Vista Ultimate on a Lenovo N200.I have service pack 1.
Can anyone help, please.
regards,
T

do you think it will start happening again and I will have to get another battery?
Yes, it will happen again. The swelling of the battery indicates that it is at the end of its useful life. It may be ok right now, but when it runs hot again it will swell again and put pressure on the underside of the track pad, shortening some circuits and causing this weird behavior of track pad and keyboard.
It may happen tomorrow or a few week from now, depending on how degraded the battery already is. The intervals will get shorter as the problem progresses. Replacing the battery as early as possible is highly recommended because damaged batteries can cause fires and even explode.
The swelling of the battery is a common occurrence in MacBooks that are run off the power adapter for most of the time, without regularly calibrating the battery. Here's the procedure: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490

Computer logging off after quitting Pages

About one third of the time when I quit Pages, my computer screen goes blue and logs itself off as if I'd logged off and back on again.
Anyone else having this problem? It's making me crazy!
Thanks in advance…

Try resetting the NVRAM. Directions here:

Firefox will not open after logging off. Will only work if I reboot computer.

Firefox always opens after booting up my computer in the morning. However, if I log off of Firefox and attempt to open it again it will not open without rebooting the computer first.

Use the [[profiles|Profile Manager]] to create a new profile. If the problem goes away, you can then [[Recovering important data from an old profile|move]] your bookmarks and other important settings into the new profile.

Computer hangs on log-off

When I log off, the computer hangs on the splash scree--the screen picture that is behind the log on dialogue box-- and needs to be manually shut down. The box to log back in does not appear.

Hi William,
my PBG4 shows similar behaviour at about half of my logg-offs / shut down / restart.
I have tried nearly every kind of diagnosis and repair tools (RAM, HD, file system, rights, extensions, different accounts ...) with no result. I doubt if log files would provide useful information after a forced power down because cached information may not have been flushed to disk and log files not been closed properly.
I have been following similar discussions from time to time but never found a durable solution.
The only hint I picked up was the following workaround:
Have the dock showing up while logging off.
(set permanently visible in dock preferences or unhide dock by mouse just before confirming log-off via return key)
I know it sounds strange - but it works for me!
Since I follow this advice (and don't fail to invoke the dock) there are NO more hangings during log-off / shut down / restart.
The root cause must be something about a hanging process but I have no knowledge about BSD and other things behind the Mac OS X Aqua interface.
Sorry, it's no real solution, only a workaround but could you try if this also helps on your computer?

How do I log on to my personalized firefox browser from a public computer using another browser.

How do I log on to my personalized firefox browser from a public computer using another browser.

Right now, there is no real way to do that. You could log into Firefox Sync [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync], and that would move your personal data to the new computer (if it was using Firefox). but then you would want to delete your profile on the public computer to ensure you didn't leave your personal information available for others.
There are initiatives that plan on making it possible to log onto Firefox from any computer and instantly have all your information, but they are not near completion.
