I want my mac to start on its own just for one session.

Hello,
Is there a way to have my mac start on its own for just one session and thats it. A one time deal?
Thanks

Don't ask me to do it but that might be Applescriptable. I think there is a forum for A'S'.

  • Mac Pro starting on its own.

    I have run across a bug I think. After shutting down a Mac Pro the machine has turned itself on during the night. In Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Startup after power failure has been unchecked. There are no applications that have a 'run during the night' theme so I am at a loss as to why the machine starts itself up. Anybody have any clues?

    I think you're confusing sleep and shut down. If a machine is asleep (which is what it does if you just shut the lid on a laptop) and you plug in or unplug a USB device, the computer will wake up. Of course, if you're unplugging a USB flash drive in this way, you could damage it.
    OTOH, if the machine is shut down, it will not detect removal of a USB device, much less start back up.

  • When will Canon start making its' own software for remote control since Pixela is so terrible at it?

    It totally sucks that Canon dares sell their camcorder on the fact that YOUR smartphone is the remote control and yet they have ZERO support on the software! At present your chances are far more likely that your smartphone will not work with the Pixela software and that you WILL NOT HAVE A REMOTE CONTROL for your Canon product. Canon seems very uninterested in taking care of this problem.
    How many people have bought a Canon product with the promise of your remote control being your smartphone and then not finding that they have a phones that is not “compatible” ?!?!?!? Is Canon expected everyone that buys one of these to then buy a matching phone? This is crazy and it sure puts a terrible light on Canon! 
    This is my first Canon product and I am NOT impressed! I have the Canon Vixia HF R42 and Android 2.3.4 and I am NOT a happy camper with Canon! Send me my damned remote control for this camera!

    Canon should have a complete list of all the phones that do not work with this crappy software maker! Better yet, they should include a real remote with their cameras, but at present Canon needs to advertise that more than likely their camcorders with be remoteLESS for you! This is crazy that you don’t know until AFTER you get the Canon product home that you might have to buy a new phone to have a remote control. 
    This seriously SUCKS!

  • Mac Mini - Screensaver starting on its own and clock is fast ...

    Hi there experts ....
    I've got a 4 month old Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
    I've noticed for the past couple of months the clock is 4 minutes fast ....
    And the screeensaver is coming on by itself out of nowhere ...
    I/ve run disk repair ... Maintenance ... put screensaver to never and even disabled front row screensaver
    I've reset pram and nvram ... ANy clues ....?

    So even if you put the screensaver to never it still starts on its own?
    Also you clock runs faster by 4mins?
    I smell an OS issue. Partition your drive and install a fresh OS onto it. If it works(no problem there) then restore the partition into 1 drive. Zero out the drive and put a fresh OS in it
    **back it up first
    If the fresh OS on the new partition still fails. it could be a hardware failure.

  • I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id. Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id.

    I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id.
    Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id?

    There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
    1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
    As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

    Thanks.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Calendar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date.

    Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month.  How do I do this with the new operating system?

    Adding to Alan's answer:
    One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled. 
    If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this!  You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock.  You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter.  This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval.  You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
    Note:  the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st.  For your app, you should ignore it.

    Take a look at these three sites and you might find something in one that will work for you.

    I downloaded iDraw - which is an Adobe Illustrator wannabe for the iPad. You can export to PDF and other formats using iDraw. iDraw also supports file sharing. File Sharing is the iPad/iTunes way to send files back and forth from the iPad to your computer and back again.
    This site will tell you about iDraw.

    This is a link to iOS File Sharing which you will find useful as well.

    There are third party apps in the app store that will allow you to use virtually any printer even if you don't have one of the HP AirPrint compatible printers.
    You can even use an app like Pages to create your templates. You can insert art and photos into Pages and it supports file sharing as well. Pages is a Word Processing app and I would be inclined to not use it for your purposes but it will work for some basic designs however it's certainly not ideal for creating artwork.

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

  • Dial-up starting on its own

    See my previous question. If I leave my PC to just go to sleep on its own, as per C) method, it sometimes starts to dial up, and I have to hurriedly hit the Disconnect button (Am not on Broadband, it is not yet available my area), so I have to be careful that it hasnt done this after I have left the room. Anyone any ideas how to prevent this?
    Apple Mac os x Panther   Mac OS X (10.3)  

    go to System Preferences --> network ---> internal modem --->configure ---> PPP options.
    There should be a check box that says "connect automatically when needed"
    Make sure this box is NOT checked.
    that should solve your problem (I hope)

  • Slideshow is starting on its own

    iPhoto 8.1.2
    when I open iPhoto then select a photo to view, it is starting a slideshow on its own. I am unable to exit the show when I hit esc it restarts the slideshow. I can look at the strip at the bottom of the screen. I can not control it in any way. I have to force quite by holding down the power button.l
    not happy

    Try this simple fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    I have to force quite by holding down the power button.l
    Have you tried option-command-powerbutton?

  • One note starts on its own when I use Remote Desktop connection

    Whenever I use RDC to connect to my home server, One note start and pops up totally on its own on my local computer.
    Can anyone explain why, and more importantly how I can stop this behaviour?

    After hours of reading through forums and posts similar to this one, and knowing the proposed work-arounds were not going to be accepted by my client that was having the issue, I came to the conclusion that it had to be a print driver or the software that
    gets installed along with the print driver on the server that was causing my issue.
    I started searching and came across some Epson software that was installed on the remote desktop server when I was trying to get a scale house ticket printer to work as a network printer. The printer was not installed on the server but the software remained
    in the add and remove programs list.
    I removed the three Epson entries in the add and remove programs list and the problem stopped.
    I don't know if this was mentioned above but the behavior I observed was that the print job was going to multiple printers, not just OneNote. I my case if I removed the OneNote pritner I would then get prompted by the Microsoft XPS Document Writer for a
    file location to save to.
    I could open the print queue for each of the printers that were getting redirected on my local machine, I would then log in to the remote desktop server that I was having the issue on. I could see the "remote desktop redirected printer doc" get
    sent to each printer. If the printer was online it would flash for only a moment and the printer would ignore the job as if nothing had been sent to it. If the printer was offline the job would stay in the queue.
    I think this was mentioned above so I will reiterate, don't approach the issue like it is a problem just with OneNote or with a particular driver from a particular manufacturer. We know at the very least that the problem can be caused by Samsung driver/printer
    software and by Epson driver/printer software so it stands to reason that there can be other drivers/printer software packages that can cause the same problems.
    I hope this helps!
