Help! logging off

Everytime someone closes the lid, my Macbook can't log off the account that's currently logged on and every time I press cancel it does nothing and have to emergency shut it down. What do i do?

In System Preferences> Security& Privacy>General do you have "require password for sleep and screensaver" box checked? If Not, try that. That way, when the lid is closed, it will sleep, and to open it will require password- thus, whomever logs in will get to that account, not the last one.
Also, maybe try logging out of the account you are in, rather than simply closing the lid, if the above does not work.

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2014) will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?
By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

my HP proONe 400 keeps logging off after approx 2 minutes...Help!

Hi,
If it's logging you out after 2 minutes of inactivity, here's one thing to check.
Right click on an empty area of the Desktop and select Personalize. Click the Screen saver link in the bottom right. In the following window you can adjust the time before the screensaver kicks in the 'Wait' dropdown menu and remove the tick from the box next to 'On resume, display log-on screen'. Click Apply, then Ok to save the setting change.

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

When I atempt to send a web site via an email from FF, the system keeps opening one new mozalla screen after another. Nothing will stop this but logging off. I have to bookmark everything and then put it in an email. Your help is appreciated.

If I attempt to send a link to someone from a site I am visiting, ff starts opening one new start window after another. So fast i can't get it stopped. Even going into taskmaster which I sometimes have to try 3 or 4 times, it is impossible to get them all stopped they just keep multiplying. Only logging off or a restart will fix the problem.
The same think happens if I use a "send picture to". I don't know what else to do. I have run all the diagnostics I have. Checked all the drives, etc. Check all the ff settings. Nothing shows.

Itunes 10.5 can't open 2nd time on windows 7. Logging off and on again helps, but ...

After having installed iT 10.5 on Windows 7 iT starts without any problems. After quitting iT however, it cannot be restarted without logging off and logging on again. Anybody have a solution/fix ?

If you are not using WIFI SYNC, there is a temporary fix:
1. Check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
2. Go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. Rename file "APSDaemon.exe' into "APSDaemon1.exe" from this location:
32bit Windows C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
64bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\

Log off problem in integrated ITS

Hi,
our cancel button for ending the application with an external ITS works fine and the exitURL which is deposit in the service file will be shown.
But with an integrated ITS it doesn't work. I know that this exitURL doesn't work in an integrated ITS.
So I left a redirect URL in the SICF > ErrorPages > Log Off Page > Redirected URL
but nothing happens after clicking the cancel button. The browser works and works but the old screen is still seen. What's wrong? Why the page will not be redirected to given Url?
Can anybody help me?
This works:
wgateURL(~command="logoff", ~exitURL="http://www.sap.com")
but we need a standard exit like described above and I think the way above should be right.
Thanks, Susanne

How to log off from SNC portal

This is a very basic question. I did not find any button or menu option to log off. Sometimes I get the message that the transaction is still running in another session, and I find it very difficult to log off. I normally close the browser and then log off from the SCM system. But if I am not logged onto SAP and I open the portal directly, How do I log off?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Soumen

Hi Soumen,
There is no logoff button in SNC Web portal.
You can close the SNC web protal to logoff.
About your issue when you logoff it will locks your query as it is not logoff straight a way solution is create another query so that you can use another query or go to transaction SM04 and logoff your user-

Log off button in a web report (bw 3.5)

Hi,
I'm trying to add a log off button in my default web template, but it seems not working properly.
My web template, including simple query result, without user input variable :
<HTML>

<object>
 <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
 <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
 <param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
 <param name="QUERY" value="ZTESTGC_QUERYLOGOFF"/>
 <param name="INFOCUBE" value="SUZ_C01"/>
 DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
</object>
<object>
 <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
 <param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"/>
 <param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value="ZTESTGC_LOGOFF"/>
 <param name="STATELESS" value="X"/>
 <param name="USE_PAGE_WRAPPER" value="X"/>
 TEMPLATE PROPERTIES
</object>
<HEAD>
 <link href="/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets/BWReports.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A class=SAPBEXBtnStd title="Log Off" href ="<SAP_BW_URL CMD='LOG_OFF'>&sap-sessioncmd=cancel"> Log Off </A>
<object>
 <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
 <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
 <param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
 <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
 <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
 ITEM: TABLE_1
</object>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When I click on my button, i'm redirected on a blank page but :
- if i click on the back browser (IE6) button, I see query results again, without see logon screen.
- if i stay on the blank page and i relaunch my web template using WAD button 'Execute in browser ...' it doesn't ask me my logon information
Why ???
Thanks to help me,
CG.

Hi,
try something like this:
button, which calls javascript function
function logoff()
// releases the current session and calls the log out page
SAPBWOpenURL(SAP_BW_URL_Get()+'&CMD=LOG_OFF&REDIRECT_URL=/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/WebApplications/htm_logoff.html');
it works correctly.If you press the button you will be at first loged off and after that redirected to htm_logoff.html (it is a simple html site, which you have to build)
Regards
Erwin
