Lock the computer every hour for 10 min?

Hi,
Is there a way to lock the computer every hour(or a preset time interval) making it inaccessible for a few min? this will force those long time user to take a rest from time to time:) Thanks,
Angelo

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

If so – why?

I just down loaded lion and now every time i turn on the computer every single thing i had used in the last session opens up--how do i stop this?

I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!

Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

Cannot log in back after screen saver locked the computer

Hi there,
We have a domain environment with Windows 2012 R2 and a Windows 2003 domain controllers and Windows XP and Windows 7 clients. We have setup a GPO for screen saver which lock the computer after 15 minutes idle. In the last few weeks on some Windows 7 computers
after the screen saver locked the computer the users cannot log in back. Error message come up with Username or password is incorrect.
I've tried to reach the computer through RDP but same error came up even tried to log in as domain admin. I could log in as domain admin locally (switch user option) but as a user cannot. I've tried to restart Netlogon, Workstation and Server services but
nothing happened. In the event viewer no related error message. The only way to login back as a user to restart the computer. It is not really good solution as they opened lots of things which wasn't saved.
Anyone has any idea or experience to solve this issue?
Many thanks
AM

Hi,
Since you could login with Domain Admin locally, it should didn't have problem with Netlogon service and other logon correspond service. It seems like the account itself problem.
When this problem occures, have you tried to use other computer logon with the problematic account for test? If other normal computer also had same problem when using the account. It's should your Server authenticate problem. If not, it maybe the domain
account profile problem, you can try to remove the account and readded it for test.
If there was any updates, please feel free let us know.

The computer I use for Itunes (my laptop) only has XP so I can't use ICloud:(
I have a desktop that operates using with Vista.
I downloaded 10.5 and sought to sync my two iphones and two ipads with the desktop in order to use ICloud. However I got warning messages that if I synced with this computer that had none of my extensive library of apps, music, podcasts, etc. would be on it, I would lose it all.
I did authorize the computer. I knew enough to do that but am terrified that I will lose everything that I have accumulated and still won't be able to use ICloud.
Isn't there a way to do this? Shift my library FROM my devices to the desktop?
Thanks

This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

If your device has been jailbroken during the warranty, Apple will not service it.
Maybe you missed that in this article:

Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT202663 AirTunes cuts out at the same time every hour for about 20 seconds

Since converting my iMac from Lion to Mavericks a week ago, my Airtunes network dies at exactly the same time ... 51 mintes and 35 seconds every hour after the hour. It stays down for 20 seconds then picks up again without any intervention required. (iTunes itself does not stall).
My wifi network set up worked reliably for about three years before upgrading to Mavericks, streaming music from iTunes on my iMac to two AP Expresses and one AppleTV. I have an Actiontec router provided by Verizon/FiOS. The iMac is connected to the router via Ethernet.
The apparently precisely timed interruption problem manifested itself immediately after installing Mavericks.
Anybody else have anything like this?

I fixed the problem. For anyone interested I disabled the IGMP service in the Actiontec router.

My Ipad keeps locking the screen every 5 sec, tried the reset did not work. any suggesstions?

Ipad 2 keeps locking the screen or turning off every 5 sec, cannot use it. did the Reset, it does not solve the problem. any suggesstions?

You can -
1 restore
2 reset by holding home button and off button together for like 10 seconds.
3 go to settings>>general>>auto-lock>>choose never (might work..)

What could change the Computer ID used for the licenses in NI License Manager?

at our customer site we originally set up our software which uses the Vision Run-Time and Vision Acquisition Software. We purchased a license for the PC and it was installed. It has been running since July. but today the customer started getting errors asking for the license. using NI license manager we see "Status: Activated for a different computer"
looking further we now see a different "Computer ID" code I have original screen shots of when I originally applied the license so I know the Computer ID was not a typo.
The customer says no one has swapped out the PC's, but is currently looking to see if any other work was done.
Has anyone expirenced this before?
Solved!

I hope your problem was solved by now.
If not, is your customer using any VPN software?
VPN software creates virtual MAC address, and somehow NI License Manager will use that for computer ID.
A known case is that VPN software by Juniper Networks will randomly create a virtual MAC address
every time the computer reboots. This will screw up NI License Manager because the computer ID will be different every time
computer reboots.
A workaround is to ask NI for an activation code based on computer ID that is generated from your hard drive.
With this, unless you change your harddriver or format it, it will keep the same computer ID.
That is exactly what my problem was. I ended up getting a computer ID based on the harddrive. The thing is that when performing the "automated" activation, it uses the computer ID from the MAC address. So I have to activate over email, change the file so that it uses my harddrive based computer ID, send it, apply the received codes. It is kind of a pain, but not that bad.

Quicktime launches every hour for no apparent reason. Spyware? Virus?

For the past few days Quicktime attempts to launch approximately every hour. The reason I say attempts, is because the missing plugin error/warning will be on screen whenever I come back to my desk and often first thing in the morning. I have no idea what file is trying to launch, seeing that nothing ever shows up because of the error.
Could this be virus trying to open **** or something? How can I use the Console to see what is trying to open?
I could post a log snippet if someone could tell me where to look.
Thanks for any help!

Hi pixel:
I managed IT/technology for almost 50 years. Sometimes things happen that defy explanation, but we are happy at the result anyhow!
Glad everything is OK now. Sometimes I do suggest a restart as a "fix" for things that - on the surface - have nothing to do with a restart.

Mouse Freezing and locking the computer

I have searched this forum regarding mouse freezing. Since updating to 10.4.7 I have the mouse freeze sometimes. The only way I have been able to correct is restart the computer from th power button.
After reading the below post I believe what he is saying when a freeze occurs just hit the optiob key 5 times.
1. This seems simple.but what is the computer doing to unfreeze by hitting the option Key?
2. What does he mean by this staement: BTW the 5 hits to the option key... turns the wonderful feature off..... Hope this helps .....
Anyways the next time I get a freeze I will try this. I am under the belief that when the freeze qccurs and you hit the option key 5 times it unlocks the mouse is this correct?
I have been using a kesington 2 button mouse since I had the computer connected via USB
Thank You

Re: mouse freezes in Tiger
Posted: Dec 1, 2005 8:38 AM in response to: Eric Alan
Try this:
Hit the option key five times. I am embarressed to say that I had to pay the 49.99 fee to apple to help the tech I was talking to figure this one out. Many months ago I was playing around in Universal Access in the system preference's.
Apparently I had set the mouse to do what it was doing... appearing to freeze, no response, turning into a text curser.... etc... (nice setting....ha...lol). After doing 3 clean installs of tiger, I noticed that one of the installs to an external firewire drive was not exhibiting this behavior. As I was explaining this to the tech, he asked if I had done a clean, archival or save user preference. The light went on, and I climbed under neath my desk so that my family would not see how the redness in my face from anger over the 49.99 fee changed to a different shade of red from embarresment. What I don't understand, is why it started happening all of a sudden. It seems some update/install triggered it........ BTW the 5 hits to the option key... turns the wonderful feature off..... Hope this helps .....
Quicksilver 867 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Report this post

The original Apple Pro mouse cable frays in the chord just as it exits the mouse, over time, and shorts out causing symtoms similar to yours. You can't see the fray by looking at it thru the exterior covering. This can happen to third party mice over time too.
Mine did it. I plugged it into a different port, so the chord exited the mouse in a different direction, and had very few freezes after that. Once I got over my frugalness (cheapness!) I bought a new one. Eventually it got to where I couldn't even work for more then a few minutes without a freeze.
So, try a known good mouse to see if that's the problem.
Don Archibald, a Level 5 here, said the USB ports on the keyboard (for you desktop users) are underpowered and can cause this problem also if the mouse is plugged in there. This can even fry the keyboard sometimes (happened to him). Try plugging your mouse into a port on your monitor or tower.
If you still have trouble post back!
Cheers!
