Locked computer

My desk top will not display the icons or move to the next tep its like its locked nd the lock light is on

When you say there are no icons, are you at the desktop with no icons?
- If this is the case please check and see how many cables you have connecting the monitor to the tower. There should only be 1.
If it goes to a blank black screen see if you can boot up tqapping on the F10.
What is the operating system?

"Lock Computer" under Windows XP professional

hi,
My Swing app needs to be notified when a user "Locks" the computer using CTRL+ALT+DEL combination and then clicking the "Lock Computer" button.
I need to know even if the computer gets automatically locked via the screen saver. Can I do this at all ?

You would need JNI.
JDIC has an incubator project, SystemInfo, this has a org.jdesktop.jdic.systeminfo.SystemInfo
.isSessionLocked() you could poll.
To quote kajbj, why do you need to know that?

FYI The latest update wipe out my Windows user info resulting in a locked computer. had to restart in safe mode and restore my system. Basiclly it killed my whole computer. If I was not a programmer , fixing it would have been nearly impossible.

The new apple itunes update . corrupted or deleted my user profile in Windows 7 home premium.resulting in a locked computer with no way of getting into windows.

Never heard of that happening before and given the way the OS works that should not be possible. Sounds like something was awry with your computer before you started the process.
What program did you write to fix it and in what language? You might want to share this with Microsoft so they can look into it further.

Firefox locks computer visiting random web site

I've read the various emails about the problem and none helped. My situation is as follows:
Firefox locks computer when visiting a web site (random). This morning, it was:
http://m.mlb.com/news/article/118394026/good-as-gold-rockies-nolan-arenado-makes-fantastic-catch
I've revisited it a couple of times since with no problems. Only happens once, maybe twice per day. I've found I can unlock the computer doing the following (whether it's all necessary, don't know yet, still experimenting):
do CTL-ALT-DEL a few times
hit ESC a few time
hit the comptuer off button (not holding down, just push and release)
following steps sometimes gets the desired effect without going to the next one
close the lid
re-open
tap off button
Maybe it's lack of patience on my part, possible it's not all necessary. Eventually, the computer goes into hibernation and shuts down. Re-open it, enter BIOS and Windows passwords, and it's all back to normal.
I have NO add-ons, 2 extensions:
Avast Online Security 10.2.0.187
LastPass 3.1.54
Wouldn't swear to it, but problem seemed to start with last Firefox update, 37.0.1. I have Windows 7.

My Ipod is stuck on a white screen with the wrong time and a lock. computer doesn't recognized my Ipod..also gets hot when connected to charge..any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You

Hi
My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.

Lock computer causes itunes stopped working error

I can repeatedly crash itunes by locking my computer either with a screen saver requiring a password or via ctrl-alt-del "lock my computer". I have tried disabling other applications via MSconfig as suggested on some forums (no changes), verified that Qtime does work properly, and even tried solutions for other symptoms that are reported to cause the same error (e.g. deactivate store/reactivate, etc). I do not have any of the codecs that cause problems with itunes.
The error message is always "itunes stopped working...checking for a solution".
I am running Vista Home Premium SP1 (32bit) on a Dell E1405. Any ideas?

You're right - I just validated that -- the problem only occurs when itunes is the top application. Too bad about no response as I use a password protected screen saver on my laptop (for security) and I have the tendency to have itunes on top. I guess I'll have to break this habit until when/if someone solves the bug or creates a workaround.
I'm trying to figure out the mechanism of the failure. Event Viewer tells me its a D3D9.DLL that is failing:
+Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 8.0.2.20, time stamp 0x4925c4fe, faulting module D3D9.DLL, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791a65d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000ae35, process id 0x119c, application start time 0x01c998fab49455b8.+

Adobe 9 attaching pdf to email locks computer

When I try to attach a pdf to an email using adobe 9, it locks up my computer. I have at least ten end users that are experiencing the same problem. This is an intermittant problem, sometimes it attaches and emails fine, other times it locks up the computer. This happens on outlook 2003 and outlook 2010. The operating system is windows 7, server 2008r2 and windows xp.

Yes Outlook is the default client within adobe.
i have found the fix which is a registry setting change. details below
1. Create registry Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook(if not there, create)
2. Create String value: Bitness
3. Set the string value for Bitness to: x64
I hope this helps all thos having the same issue. this resolves the error of Outlook is not the default mail client and also allows you to use thw send to email function.
Kind regards

SD reader locks computer

I have a Satellite M45-S359 running Windows XP Home Edition. Problem with built-in SD card reader. Regardless of which card I insert (a 1GB or a 2GB) card, the computer locks completely. I am looking at photos taken with my Nikon camera - both cards work perfectly on the camera. The first 2 or 3 photos are read without trouble then the entire computer freezes and I have to re-start using the power button on the machine. Funny how a few pix read OK then it freezes. Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
David

Apps hang at splash screen and lock computer

I have tried to install indd and ai and both crash and lock the computer when I try and run them. The apps get as far as the spas screen then freeze.
Creative cloud
Macpro 10.7.5

Hey i think i figured it out.
Had the same prob. 10.6 12.2.1 entourage hanging.
Renamed FCT, instantly prompted that a font was corrupt. Removed the corrupt Font: KufiStandardGK.ttf << this just happened to be my one corrupt font.
A little troubleshooting i did leading up to this, I read your post and my situation was the same. I use Linotype X to manage fonts. I disabled all but the minimum fonts (i moved them into a folder font_trouble in the same folder)
I also deleted every office pref/plist setting i thought relevant to startup which triggered the microsoft setup assistant (watched via the console app) and it ran through its check and then immediately the fontcachetool started and went awol on cpu time. Once i killed it--during the starting up of word and entourage... timing may be unrelated but i did them at nearly the same time.
Ps. Your post was extremely well written and I apologize for my stream of consciousness, less than stelllar response... hope this helps if not feel free to ping me for more details on what I did...
Good Luck.. All my office apps are running normally now.

Lock Computer

Hey All!
I am somewhat new to OSX (New Macbook, old Windows user) and I want to know if their is a way to "lock" the computer. I know their is a keyboard shortcut to logout, but can I just lock it like it does when it comes out of the screen saver?
Thanks!
--Daniel L

You could also enable the screensaver's "prompt for password on wake" feature (In the Security control panel), and then have a hot-corner of the display enable the screensaver.

Weird sound coming from above F1-F3 keys - locks computer up

I just got my MacBook Pro back from Apple and they did not fix the problem below (although, they fixed a number of small things, thankfully, like the bad speakers, crash from sleep, flaking keyboard paint, etc.). I am taking it back in today and need to figure out how to best describe this problem or point them in the right direction, since it was not addressed.
About a week ago, my MacBook Pro starting making this weird sound above the F1-F3 keys, something resembling a loud hard drive accessing sound or a sparking sound. When this happens, the cursor turns into the colored spinning beach ball, locking up my ability to interact with my computer. This continues for maybe 5-10 minutes. Then the sound stops, and the beachball goes away. But, it could come back anytime. This makes working on my computer virtually impossible as there are times it happens 3-4 times in an hour. It comes randomly, at any time. It seems some likely if the computer has been running for awhile and is overheating, but it has been known to come on bootup sometimes, as well.
No idea what his is - I already had the Main Logic Board replaced and it didn't help, so it must be another component up there underneath the F1-F3 keys.
Any expert advice? Thank you.

N200 Resolution change on locking computer

Hi all,
I have a problem with my laptop. Whenever I lock my computer or if it sleeps, when I log back into Windows, my screen resolution goes from 1680x1050 (my preference) to 800x600. Has anybody ever heard of this or have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi @tweegmann ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Run Away/Locked Computer - Need Help

I have a vexing problem that I do not understand how to fix. I am not much of a computer expert; so, I would really appreciate help from one of you experts.
PROBLEM: Whenever I make any changes to iCal my iMac fan soon starts to run very loudly and the iMac soon virtually locks up.
DIAGNOSTICS: To better understand what is occurring, I used the Activity Monitor. When I make a change in iCal two programs appear on the Activity Monitor. First iCalExternalSync appears and shortly thereafter SyncServer appears.
When iCalExternalSync appears it captures over 70% of the CPU, grabs about 120 MB of real memory, and the fan begins running VERY loudly. After an additional few minutes, SyncServer appears. Shortly thereafter iCalExternalSync reduces CPU usage to less than 5% (but keeps the 120 MB of real memory) and SyncServer now takes about 80% of the CPU and about 130 MB of memory. If I allow the process to progress this far, the fan is Very loud and the iMac has become unresponsive.
TEMPORARY FIX: I can return the iMac to operational status by killing iCalExternalSync and SyncServer via the Quit Process command in the Activity Monitor.
HELP REQUESTED: Given the information provided, I would appreciate any suggestions about how to fix this problem.
Many thanks,

You don't mention what you are actually syncing with.
Are you using iSync to sync with a locally connected third-party mobile phone or PDA?
Or are you using *MobileMe Sync* to sync to the MobileMe "cloud" and/or another Mac/iPhone/iPod touch?
If the latter, the *MobileMe Sync* forum is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
Have you tried resetting SyncServices as described here:

Import Audio CD Locks Computer

iTunes: 6.0.1.3
I use my iPod Nano to listen to stories. Whenever I import a CD the last track never imports properly and locks out my computer so that I have to do a hardware reboot.
Can anyone assist me with this issue?

It used to be that when I created a custom playlist of my own music and burned a CD, the track names and name of the CD would appear (in Finder & iTunes) when that CD was inserted in another Mac. Now, all I get is "Audio CD" for a disc title and "Track n" for the tracks. At first, I thought the problem was in Leopard (burning a CD there and mounting it on a Tiger machine), but doing it in reverse also fails. What happened? This makes sending someone a non-commercial custom CD totally useless.
