IPod player auto launches without user action?

My iphone 3G seems to launch the ipod music player without me calling up the application. Quite often my ipod will start playing on the home screen even though i have not launched it or attempt to start it. It's wired. I will just look at the phone or insert my ear buds and the music is playing away. I know the double tap on the home screen button launches the player in locked mode, but I am not hitting the button at all. I think this may realte to my iphones horrible battery life. Any ideas? Thanks...

maybe I should explain myself better. Considering CA just changed the law to banning cellphone use while driving, earbuds are required for all iphone users while driving. Apple is "designed in California" or so it says on all their packaging. I hope they are smart enough to pick up on this an adapt the design you mentioned in your first sentence. I think the vast majority of Californians would agree, and as more states do the same the rest of the nation as well.
Not that I disagree with you, but is there any documentation to support your claim that inserting the earbuds causes the ipod to launch? i would really like to read that fact, and most certainly let Apple know how poor that design feature is. I never want any applications automatically launching on any device. This fact, and the lack of adaptation to change, is what flaws Blackberries so much, and why they are so behind in the marketplace.

M60 Shutdown without user action

Hello,
i use a Satellite M60 Notebook with Win XP and i bought this notebook on 11/15/2005.
I use an actuell anti-virus software and some anti-sypware tools.
But from the first use of the notebook it shutdown without user action.
I can't solve the problem because the settings for the notebook are "Desktop" and "Never Shutdown" for the harddisk and monitor in the energyoptions.
"Standby" is set on "never" too.
I thought, that the Toshiba tools are the problem and so i uninstall them, but this didn't solve the problem.
Who have had the same problem and solved it?
Many thanks for all answers.
Wolfgang

Hi
Well, one of the reasons why the notebook shuts down without any user action is a overheating issue. If the temperature goes to a critical limit inside of notebook so the OS shuts down the unit and protect it.
Well, its not easy to say why it happens. Maybe the cooling modules dont work properly.
I see that your notebook is under warranty and all replacements and repair procedures will be done for free. In this case I propose to contact the ASP (Toshiba service partner). He can make some diagnostic test and replace some parts if its necessary.
But first of all I would recommend to recover the unit with the Recovery CD for testing if its a software or hardware issue.

Trigger notification without user action...

Hi All,
I followed below blog and achieved publishing/Broadcasting messages to logged in users. Everything is working fine. My issue is, user must have to do some action in portal, then only the display popup (notification) will be displayed (poped up). I want this popup/message will be shown to the user even he/she is idle ( i mean without any action of end user in portal).
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part1)
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part2)
Above blog works only when user do some action in portal. I want this message to be displayed without any user action.
Is there any API / Service I can use????
Please help...

Nitesh,
Thanks...
Quick POLL??? its totally un related...
I want to show a message like SM02 transaction in ECC. some notification service... like notifiying logged in users about system down time or software upgrades or some thing else.
I have already built the application and it is working fine.
As I kept the iview in content area of framework page, it will only refreshed/activated when some action happen in content area of framework page. so, I need some advice on.... even user is idle, this iview should be refreshed and show the pop up.
Issue here is: there are two iViews 1. Publish Notification and 2. Display Notification.
Publish notification iView is given to the users to trigger/publish notifications and Display Notification iView is kept under Content Area of Inner Page of the Framework page.
So, when Content area is refreshed or had some action, then only Dispaly Notification iView will be triggered and then pop up message (notification) is Visible.... Now I the requirement is, even when user is idle then also display notification iview/dynpage and its methods should execute.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Displayed a message box then removed it by a program without user action

Can a message box be displayed by a program and then removed by the program without any user action such as clicking OK or closing the box?
If so, will you show us how to do that?
I have a non-GUI application which needs to tell the user to wait while classes and being created and data is being loaded from the network. The message needs to disappear when the program is ready.
Thanks!

Upload file without user action.

Hi,
Here is my requirement: I need to upload file ( text / excel file ) from local PC without user interaction.
I try using file_upload element and I set visible property as none ( so user doesn't see this element ) but I don't know how to get the file data. I only can set the file_name and mime_type property.
Please help me how to get this file data. Or how to upload file from local PC without file_upload element.
Regards,

Hi Jatra.
I guess there are several function modules you can use. Try this : UPLOAD_FILES.
Maybe you can solve your issue with it. Otherwise search the Abap Forum on how to upload files from PC to WAS.
Cheers,

Address Book entries are being deleted without user action

I am currently using the Thunderbird v 31.3.0 email client on my personal machine running Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 upgrades. I am having a reoccurring problem where I add an email address to my personal address box, the address remains in the list for some time and then is deleted without the user (me) deleting it. Has happened multiple times.
Appreciation in advance for any support regarding this issue.

Repeating system alert sound, without user action 10.6.1

After installing 10.6.1 on my Macbook Pro unibody 17", i get a repeating system alert sound every 2 seconds. I have restarted,logged out,changed my sound settings, and eventually just had to turn the system alert volume all the way down.
Anyone else having this problem after the 10.6.1 update? Any resolutions besides muting system alerts?
Thanks,

I think I found my issue - It seems to have been with Peer Guardian. I uninstalled Growl a little while back because of a bug causing Firefox to launch in the background instead of in the foreground (help from Apple's forums helped with finding that fix), and I think PG heavily utilizes Growl for user notifications.
One this you might try is creating a dummy user and logging into that account to see if the problem still exists. If it doesn't, then you know one of your startup items (System Preferences --> Accounts --> (user) --> Login Items) is causing the sounds you're hearing.

Upload Interactive form into WDA without User action

At start WDA will read URL of pdf form from Z table and upload the form.

Initially the form is created in another Webdynpro. The form is Interactive ZCI layout with XML based interface.

Can I get an Edge animation to auto start without user interaction?

I have a looping Edge animation I placed in my DPS document. In the Folio Overlays I have Auto Play checked with a .125 second delay and transparent background. When I preview it though the animation only starts after I touch it. I looked at this thread and there was some talk about possibly adding code to the Edge animation? Is there another way? Thanks!
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4548871

Neil,
I have a similar problem in that when I have my iPad in landscape the animation works, but in portrait I have to "tap" before it starts although both have "Autoplay" checked in the Web Overlay. The animation works in Browser Preview.
In addition I have reported some other problems with regard to Edge in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4608307#4608307, but haven't gotten any response. Do mind checking this out too?
Thanks

What is the Flash Player auto-update behaviour for users without admin credentials on OSX and Windows?

Hi
Does Flash Player auto-update have the ability to update systems when a user does not have administrator access on their device?
What will the results be if we enable Flash Player auto-update on OSX and Windows systems where:
1. Users are log in with accounts that DO NOT have administrator access; and
2. Internet access is granted via a proxy server, but only when a user with NO administrator credentials is logged in.
Thanks in advance.

Maria
So there's no way to completely turn off user notification AND allow background updates unless you use a locally hosted update server? That's too bad.
Reading page 26 of the manual, I see there's an mms.cfg file that you can configure, with an option SilentAutoUpdateEnable, which is described on page 32:
SilentAutoUpdateEnable
SilentAutoUpdateEnable = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)
Availability: Flash Player 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, and Flash Player 11.3 for Macintosh
Enables a Flash Player update to install silently in the background with no user interaction. Installs both the ActiveX and plug-in players when appropriate. This type of update is called a Flash Player background update.
Standard users cannot disable background updates if they are enabled by an administrator.
Depending on the type of browser, if the user has a browser open at the time of an update, the browser might not use the updated player immediately. For more information, see "Performing a background update" on page 19.
The default value is 0 to disable background updates.
So you're saying that even if we enable this option (but don't configure a local server), users may still be prompted some or all of the time?

How do I stop iTunes from auto-launching when connecting iPod.

I have found one method of doing this set out below.
You may want to stop iTunes from auto-launching whenever you plug in your iPod. To do this, open iTunes, and select the iPod in the left-hand Source window. Four buttons will then appear in the lower right-hand corner of the iTunes window. Click the left-most button with the iPod icon on it. This will bring up the iPod Preferences dialog. Uncheck the option labeled "Open iTunes when attached." You probably also want to prevent iTunes from trying to automatically synchronize your iPod when you connect by selecting the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option in the same Preferences dialog.
I am unable to find the iPod icon in the left hand Source window, maybe if I connect my iPod an icon will appear, but I don't want to do this in case stuff is transferred between the iPod and Comp or vice versa.
Sorry to be so long winded, but it was difficult to explain without being so.
If any one knows of another way to do what I am trying to do
Perhaps they would let me know.
ASP Windows XP Pro

okay. in a 7.0.x, we no longer get the "ipod options" icon when the ipod is plugged in and selected in the sourcelist (the area to the left of the iTunes screen). instead, the ipod options and preferences display for us in the main library screen.
"Open iTunes when this ipod is connected" is kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab. (scroll down to the bottom of that tab to see everything under the "Options" heading.)
"manually manage music" (or "manually manage music and videos" if you've got a video-capable ipod) is also kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab in the Options area.
for a technique for connecting the ipod without automatically syncing (if you have an automatic syncing option set on the ipod already), and then changing the options to "manually manage music", see:
How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
unfortunately, that document is also written for itunes 6.0.x or earlier. so in your case the instructions under the "Now that you're logged in as the Guest user, it's time to get back to iTunes and your iPod:" section at steps 4, 5 and 6 should read:
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Summary Tab
5. Check the "Manually manage music" checkbox.
6. Click "Apply".

ITunes wont launch without iPod

OK. So iTunes has been working perfectly up until now. I downloaded and installed the new version of iTunes last night, and all seemed to be fine then too. But, now when I try to open iTunes by itself it will not launch. I get the message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". When I connect my iPod to my computer iTunes launches automatically and works just like normal. It is only when I try to launch iTunes without my iPod connected that it refuses to open. It wouldn't be such a problem but sometimes I want to play my music without having to connect my iPod every time.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I wonder if your desktop icon has got corrupted.
iTunes auto launches with the iPod as it launches in a different way.
You could create a new desktop icon to see if that does the trick.
Open My Computer and got to C:\Program Files\iTunes.
Right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>> desktop (create Shortcut).

Silent Flash player Autoupdate over internet without user interaction

Is it possible to set Flash Player to auto update without ever having any user interaction? We don't have any internal application depending on flash player so I would like to install an version of flash update with auto update settings and forget it.
I did install 15.0.0.152 with settings:
mms.cfg:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
But it has updated to 15.0.0.167 instead of 15.0.0.189. Does the autoupdate use always the latest version or does it install only critical updates? Why did I get 167 and not 189 ? I can see that the task launching the auto-update run every hour, with default settings, but no new updates are made, wheter my browser (IE) is running or not.

Please do the following.
Open IE6, go to Tools and then Manage Add-ons.
Change the menu dropdown (on the left) to "All Addons", then scroll down to Adobe (if it's there) and then check the version number. The current version is 11.1.102.55 (See screenshot)
If it's not listed, or if it's a different version, download this uninstaller, but choose to Save it (doesn't matter where). Do not choose "Run". http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
After you save the file, close IE.
Run the uninstaller (even if Flash is not listed in Manage Add-ons) and then reboot.
Next, go to: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and when you see the prompt, choose "Run" to install it immediately. Oh, and uncheck any third party installation options like the Google Toolbar / McAfee. You can install those any time.
Go back to Manage Add-ons and confirm that 11.1.102.55 has been installed.

Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
Thanks

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.
