How to Remove Shutdown Prompt

Is there any way to either 1) completely remove/disable the prompt that appears when selecting Shutdown from the Apple Menu or 2) reduce the time before it automatically shuts down? It's not a big deal, but when I hit shutdown, I mean shutdown, not "double-check" or question me for 60 seconds. I know it's automatic, but if it is removable, that is my preference. Everyone seems to be asking about the checkbox (reopen windows on relaunch), but I would rather completely skip this step. Thanks in advance.

You can use the AppleScript Editor app to shut down the computer without prompt.
Application folder... Utilities folder... AppleScript Editor... New Document.
Paste this into the window:
tell application "Finder"
  shut down
end tell
Save... File Format... Application. Save the file for example to your Document folder. Best to place the file into a folder. Drag that folder into your doc (right hand side of the doc) ...
Click on the folder in the dock... click on the shutdown file.
If you don't put the file into a folder... drag the file to the dock (left hand side of the dock) right click on the file... option... keep in dock. (Caution: by accident you could shutdown your computer, saving/using the file this way. Best to put it into a folder as explained above.)
Sleep:
tell application "Finder"
sleep
end tell
Restart:
tell application "Finder"
restart
end tell

  • How to remove installer prompt at shut down?

    Talking about a MacBook Pro running 10.9.5.   Something I  brought on myself.  I downloaded an installer for an app and began the installation, but changed my mind, canceled the installation and removed the app, installer and associated files.  However, now at shut down I get a prompt with an installer icon asking if I want to abort installation or not.  Choose abort and the computer shuts down.  Choose "Yes" to continue the phantom installation and the system looks for the missing app then shuts down.  How can I remove this prompt?  Thanks in advance.

    When you restart or turn off your Mac, OS X is set to automatically open the apps that were opened when you turned it off, so this could be the reason why the installer always pops up during shutdown.
    To avoid this, uncheck "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window, or start in safe mode once (hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting up) and restart. This should fix the issue.

  • How to remove graph prompt borders in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 (BP1)

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to remove the borders of a graph prompt that we have in place. The version for OBIEE is 11.1.1.6 (BP1).
    Just, to make my question clear, I understand it is not similar to_ OBIEE 11g – Remove Border Around Section Prompt. Also, as it depends on the CSS-Javascript formatting, I was hoping to find some info on this.
    The only source I found that had a small note (on page 19) was: http://www.rittmanmead.com/files/biforum2012/masterclass/RM_BIForum12_Cust2.pdf
    I appreciate any information/ideas/scripts that can be shared here.
    Thanks.

    Use the below code in Text object in your page and tick the box for ‘contains HTML markup’.
    For permanent, site-wide solution would be to modify views.css
    <style>
    .PTPageControl { border:0px; padding:0px; }
    .PTPageEmbedded { border:0px; }
    </style>
    in .css file
    looks for the text as below
    border:solid 1px
    put 0px instead of 1px
    Pls mark if helps

  • How to remove confirmation prompt when deleting from network share on Windows 8?

    Regarding the question, on Windows 7 if I uncheck "Display delete confirmation dialog" I could delete a file without confirmation whether it's on local or network share but in Windows 8 this only affects the data on local drive only and if I try
    to delete anything from network the confirmation dialog appears even though "Display delete confirmation dialog"is unmarked. Are there any ways to alter this behavior?

    No, it does not. This only works on my local drives. If I tried to delete anything on my network share (mapped drive etc..) It always gives me the prompt whether the checkbox is marked or not. This seems to be a problem only on Windows 8 as I have no problem
    with Windows 7
    BTW, my file servers are running Win 2012 and 2008R2

  • Uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps prompting me to download and install. It is a virus according to Google. How do you remove these prompts?

    My question says it all. In addition, this started to happen yesterday. Initially all I did is download the file. However, before I installed it, I checked with Google about it. When I discovered the file is a virus or malicious malware. So, I never installed it. I have run PC Tuneup Maestro several times now and fixed issues. However, this prompting from uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps coming up on my computer screen. I do not install it. I want to rid my computer of this prompting from this file. I have Norton 360 Internet Security. I have checked my status with N360 too. I do believe via Internet Options on Internet Explorer 8 that I have cleared my computer cache ( I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure for doing clearing the computer cache?). This is a very annoying problem. I've wasted a lot of time trying to rid my computer of this supposed prompting to download and install this file. Earlier this morning, I tried to call in to N360 support, but the representative did not give me direct answers, wasted much time, and really did not give me a feeling of knowledge of this file or how to remove the prompting to download and install it.

    Oh, just one more thing, I have the VLC media player on my computer. I am happy with it. It has also been updated to the most recent version 2.1.1 This is also why I questioned why uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe was even coming up on my computer screen in the first place.

  • Question: How to remove prompt in recording using MMAPI

    Hi,
    we have been developing a softphone using j2me. Our goal is to record voice (using j2me) into a byte array and deliver that as a packet either through bluetooth or wifi. We need to capture voice at a certain interval, stop the capture, deliver, and then capture the voice again.
    The problem is this. Everytime i call on record, the phone prompts if i indeed want to record using the MMAPI. I think that this is a security feature but is there any way to bypass it?

    My Macbook pro 10.8.5 has been infected by xvidly malware...any ideas please on how to remove. First time in 18 years of owning a Mac that i have ever had any malware.

    HI  ..
    How do you know for sure it's been installed?
    The only uninstall instructions for xvidly is for Windows.
    You can prevent malware.
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Select:  Mac App Store and identified developers
    If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password before proceeding.

  • How to remove tag using filter

    I want to use a filter to remove tags already on emails. I can add tags using a filter but cannot see how to remove tag using filter.

  • How to remove Access 2007 (MDB) project from Team Foundation using VB6/VBA?

    Hi,
    is there any way how to remove A2007 (MDB) project from Team Foundation using VB6 or VBA? CompactDatabase method doesn't seem to help.
    I need to remove back-end MDBs before deploying the whole project. In other words, the MDBs themselves should remain in TF but I'd like to remove their copies that should be deployed (distribution set). I wrote a simple function for compacting MDBs but it
    doesn't do the trick. When I compact an MDB in Access 2007 I'm always asked whether I want to remove it from source control.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    What are the copies you referring?
    These are physical copies of local MDB files. I can't (don't want) to deploy MDB files that are handled by source code control (SCC) since those files hold information about SCC (local directory mapping). Users might not understand the message they get when
    they open such MDB in Access, eg.:
    This database was named 'C:\Projekty\P1\DB\nP01.mdb' but has been moved, copied, or renamed. Source code control features will be disabled.
    That's why I want to remove the SCC information from MDB files. The only way I know so far is to use "Compact & Repair database" in MS Access 2007. I'd like to point you to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa155494%28v=office.10%29.aspx (it's
    similar to Access 2007 & Team Foundation):
    Using the Compact Database Command
    In order to take a database that is under source code control and deliver it to a user, you need a way to cut the database's ties to source code control. When you compact a database that is under source code control, Microsoft Access 2000 prompts you
    to remove the database from source code control.
    To remove the database from source code control, Microsoft Access simply removes the Visual SourceSafe properties from the Microsoft Access database and its objects.
    I would like to remove Access MDBs from SCC programmatically so that I can
    significantly reduce time that I spend on deploying the application. In one of our applications there are five back-end MDBs that are under SCC and it takes some time to remove them from
    SCC manually. I have to do it anytime we release new version, even for releases that are determined as testing releases for internal testing within our company.
    Thank you very much for your time.

  • How to remove an old ident (@ wanadoo.fr) on ipad and iphone4,

    hello,
    how to remove an old ident (@ wanadoo.fr) on ipad and iphone4,
    the associated email to my old ident is no longer operational, if I try to delete this ident, I am asked the password associated,
    New ident (@ gmail.com) is working properly,
    thank you in advance for your help,
    jlm

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
