Logout has timed out because the app (program name) failed to quit

Hi,
I've been having an odd problem with my Mac since I did the last software upgrade.
I upgraded to 10.5.8 and this problem has been occurring sporadically ever since.
Basically, 7 times out of 10, when I try and shut the computer down, I get the following message: "Logout has timed out because the app (program name) failed to quit."
The program apparently causing the problem varies - sometimes it's Photoshop, sometimes iTunes, OpenOffice, etc. Today it failed because Software Update (which I'd just run, in order to install the latest update) failed to quit!
The only way I can get the computer to shut down in this case is to press and hold the power button.
My Mac is a 20 inch 2.66 GHz with 2GB of RAM, and is about 18 months old. Up until the last upgrade I had no problems with it.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it?

HI,
Open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilites)
Click the pop up menu and select: My Processes
You can Force Quit any of the apps you mentioned from that window befoe you shut down.

Logout has timed out because the app MirrorAgent failed to quit

I get this error message at logout.
"Logout has timed out because the application MirrorAgent failed to quit. To try again, quite MirrorAgent and choose Log Out from the Apple menu"
Has anyone experienced this?

I am a long-time computer geek and former Mac developer. I am clear that several problems still exist with the syncronization of my computer with .Mac. MirrorAgent, in particular, seems to grab the computer at the root level and get fouled up such that it drags down performance and will not complete its task (whatever that might be). Since the problem is somewhat subtle and leaves few clues as to what is going on (e.g. no action on the sync progress icon in the menu bar), many users are left with nothing to do but reboot.
Since most users don't know how to discover which task is screwing them, Apple gets few reports about MirrorAgent. I hope that Apple will awaken to the poor job of sync'ing that they have implemented and fix the system. I have seen amazing errors in months past and I keep hoping that somebody at Apple is awake to the problems.

Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit.

Hello world... (Mac world that is)
The message says more "Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit. To try again, quit Mail and choose Log Out from the Apple menu."
I tried everything. Still does not let me shut down.
Other programs will not shut down at this time, including Finder. I also know that the Time Machine icon has been spinning for over an hour. So I imagine we are in a loop of sorts.
Unfortunately, I have had similar troubles before that I did not record. So I figure I start now and see if somebody out there can help me.
Peace!

I'm having the same problem (can't logout, shut down or restart), but the referenced solution doesn't seem to apply. I do not get a "Cannot connect to server" message, I just get a "Logout has timed out" message. It seemed to happen after an automatic software update that was supposed to involve a restart, but it hasn't been able to restart since.
Can you please clarify, what is meant by "delete the AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary, which is located under the root node" (with reference to file loginwindow.plist)?
This is what the loginwindow.plist file looks like now:
bplist00Ñ!AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary¢ÒTPathTHide-/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HPEventHandler.app/Ò _N/Library/Application Support/Hewlett-Packard/Software Update/HP Scheduler.app//27
I was at the genius bar earlier, and they said I need to 'archive and install' in order to 'reset the OS'... but there's got to be a better answer than that, no? Perhaps this plist thing? I'm surprised that even powering off the imac doesn't reset anything... it just comes back the way it was. I'm supposed to bring the 25 inch imac in to the mac store for surgery (archive and install), but seeing several similar cases on this discussion forum, without archive and install identified as the clear solution, I'm in search of a second opinion... or any suggestion for how to simply make this work the way it was before? Is it 10.5.4 that is causing this? Should I go back to 10.5.3?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Logout has timed out, can't restart, program won't force quit

I have had a recurring problem with this, various programs will freeze but I can't force quit them, I also can't restart or shutdown due to the program that won't quit.
Overall my G5 (late 2005) is turning into a massive pile of S%#t
any help would be mucho appreciated!
Thanks

I'm having similar problems - various times, and there is no pattern, I get the spinning beachball, which never loads what it's supposed to. I cannot force quit, I can move my cursor, and can sometimes switch to a different application while that beachball is spinning on the other app. I've done Disk Repair several times and been told that "no repairs were necessary." This is the FIRST time I"ve ever ever had problems with this computer since I've owned it - in 7 or 8 years. Any ideas?

"Logout has timed out because MirrorAgent failed to quit"

I've been getting this warning a lot lately when I try to restart my computer after cleaning font caches or to run DiskWarrior or TechTools Pro. What the heck does this mean, and what can I do to avoid it?

Do you have an idisk enabled? If so it is busy synchronizing with .Mac and causes logout to timeout.

I want to update my ipad2 when i used to download the os it shows error as network timed out and i repeated again and again always it shows that network timed out but the apps are downloading but large apps are't why?

Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

The query locator has timed out on the server side.

Hi
I am getting the error:The query locator has timed out on the server side.
What to do now?
AG

Hi
Are you using Salesforce.com for creating reports?
When joining large-sized tables, you may run into a query locator time out
error. The query locator is a server-side cursor generated by Salesforce.com
and is used to navigate the query result. It will automatically expire in 15
minutes without any activity.
In the case of joining two tables, the report processing engine will read one
table partly, and then it will process the other table. If the processing time is
longer than 15 minutes, the Crystal Reports Salesforce.com Driver will try to
read the rest of the records in the first table and the cursor in that query will
time out. In the case of joining multiple tables, the chance of running into a
query locator time issue is higher as the report processing engine might have
to return to handle the first table after finishing processing other tables,
increasing the possibility of a query locator time out error in the first table.
If you run into query locator time out issue, we recommend that you add
filters into your report to reduce the amount of records you fetch from
Salesforce.com.
However, if that is not possible, you can try to reverse the link order in the
case of joining two tables. For example, you linked table A to table B, then
you can try to link table B to table A.
Hope this helps!!

Hello Orkun
Ensure that the MaxThreadCount parameter is set to 350 as per note #937159 XI Adapter Engine is stuck. This will help the overall system performance.

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
Another possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Logout has timed out

I can't seem to get my macbook pro to shut down, one or another Mac application, Mail, Safari, iCal (pick one) won't shut down and I get the Logout error, forcing me to force quit at least one application. Huge pain to shut down each day.

Do you have an idisk enabled? If so it is busy synchronizing with .Mac and causes logout to timeout.

Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.

Question about EWS - The operation has timed out

hi everyone,
I'm developing a solution which uses public folder database in Exchange Server to store tasks:
- We use 1 account to access to public folder database by using EWS.
- Currently, this public folder database contains 60000 tasks and they are being accessed by 700 users, they always have the following exception:

Thanks Glen for your reply.
Here is a code block which retrieve the number of task of some groups
foreach (var bu in request.BusinessUnits)
SearchFilter businessUnitFilter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(BusinessUnitAliasProp, bu);//, ContainmentMode.FullString, ComparisonMode.IgnoreCase);
SearchFilter[] filters = new SearchFilter[] { actualOwnerFilter, statusFilter, businessUnitFilter };
var filterCollection = new SearchFilter.SearchFilterCollection(LogicalOperator.And, filters);
GroupedFindItemsResults<Item> taskResults = this.exchangeService.FindItems(_publicFolderId, filterCollection, itemView, groupByApplication);
if (taskResults != null && taskResults.ItemGroups != null)
foreach (var groupItem in taskResults.ItemGroups)
if (!dict.ContainsKey(groupItem.GroupIndex))
dict.Add(groupItem.GroupIndex, new Dictionary<string, int>());
if (!dict[groupItem.GroupIndex].ContainsKey(bu))
dict[groupItem.GroupIndex].Add(bu, groupItem.Items.Count);
Please let me know if it's too complex and might affect to the performance of Exchange Server

I have just downloaded firefox onto my laptop but it wont open. I keep getting a message that says: 'The connection has timed out' Can you help

This is the message i get after a few seconds of trying to connect:
The connection has timed out.
The server at search.bearshare.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Is this when you install the EXE, or when you are running Firefox, or some other time?

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.
