MacPro Eject Button is Logging me out and Restarting... WHY??!!

I have some applications running on my machine, some things copying from one drive to another. I notice that my Dvd tray is open so I press the eject button on the keyboard to close it and Blue Screen. Everything closes and starts again from scratch. Its not shutting down. No chime on restart. It appears to be logging out and logging back in again.
How do I stop this behavior?

Okay,
What I did after I posted the question was ...
I ran disk utility and repaired permissions on the startup drive.
Its working okay now. Don't know why this was actually happenning but I will keep your idea on file in case it happens again.
Thanx

Face time,click on leftmost Red Button(X) logs U out of Call, new behavior
In the past, if I clicked on leftmost Red Button(X), the conversation window would shrink, but you do not log out of the call.
How to alter this behavior?

Niraja,
You need to open the popup on click on the button and in the popup model access class you can use HTML controller to this conroller you need to pass the URL of the webDynpro application.
I have done exactly same thing before and will upload docuemnt to the wiki pages. Mean while you can explore further on the above idea.

Yosemite suddenly logs me out and in again

Since updating to Yosemite I am facing some strange issues.
While surfing of Working on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) it suddenly logs me out and immediate in again.
All open windows reappear but the whole startup procedure starts again.
All connected or opened Drives and Images need to be reopened.
As I'm working with this Computer also for my DJ-Gigs I think it's a very high risk at the moment to do a gig with this OS.
I don't want to get logged out suddenly during the audience is listening to the music.
Any guesses?
Is it a bug or a new feature which can be switched off?
I already checked for the Autologout after XX minutes of inactivity - it's not activated in my Preferences.

Skype logged me out and I cannot log back in PLEAS...

I'm trying to log onto Skype but I cannot remember the Email I used! and I forgot the password, Usually I would log in with Facebook. But about 20 minutes ago it logged me out and will not let me log back on with Facebook! Anybody with a fix! please

DON'T use the new Apple ID. Pretend that it doesn't exist. Multiple IDs will cause you heartache! Go here to determine what happened with the password for the old ID.

My friend gave his Macbook pro to me a month ago but he forgot his password. I want to log him out and creat a new user account of myself.

Did your friend also provided you with the original DVDs that came with the MacBook Pro?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Let us know how far you get, or results.

Eject Key makes my MBP Logout and Restart

When I press the Eject Key (uppermost right corner key above Delete and to right of F12), my laptop Logs out and restarts. No warning, no options. A white Eject image (up pointing triangle sitting on a bar) ghosts on the screen for a moment, then the screen goes to blue (all open files are lost of course) and then the deskstop rebuilds itself as in a restart.
I'm dumbfounded. I thought maybe this was a new keyboard feature that I could change with a choice via System Prefs. Not a malfunction.
But I couldn't find it listed anywhere under Keyboard Shortcuts, and I don't see anyone else complaining about this key behavior on the web.
Has anyone had this experience or know what's going on? I changed my keyboard (old one got splashed by water spill and keys would type groups of characters), but the new keyboard behaves the same way.
Can anyone suggest how I might fix this so the Eject Key does not basically reboot my computer? The Eject Key, by the way, does not eject any disk that may be in the slot.

If the new keyboard is acting the same way as the old regarding the eject key, it appears a hardware issue. Take your computer to an Apple Store.

Can somebody please help? My new iPad (3) has been blacking out and restarting every min...

Ok so before i went on a vacation, i switched off my iPad that's left with 24% battery.
2 days later, i switched it on and the screen just freezes. So i pressed the home and lock button together and reset it.
After this, for every min i used, the iPad just black out and restarted on its own.
It probably restarted for more than 100 times already and i can't restore it or whatever since its just keep disconnecting from my iTunes.
I shut it down, reset it, close all the apps, none help.
Does anybody know a solution to this?
Please help.
Thanks a million

HT204053 I put my husbands apple id in when i started to set up icloud, but i really want to use my own. Now i'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to tell it what to link and I don't want to link anything, just sign out and restart with my own. How

I put my husband's apple id in when I started to set up icloud in error. I realized I needed to change this right away and tried to sign out and restart with my own apple id, but it won't let me sign out in the middle of setting up. It says something about if I don't sync documents, all documents will be deleted from this computer, but I don't want to download all his work documents. Is there any way for me to start over and fix this?

Having signed out as suggested above, go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID if you don't already have one. You will need a working email address which is different from that in the ID already in use.
The set up your Mac/device(s) as indicated here:

Ops I replied to myself in error.....
Tom:
I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
Then I have to shut it down with the power button and then power it up as a reboot.
Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally. It seems to be a overnight problem.
Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

Forums log me out and dont remember me

These forums log me out after like 1 or 2 hours and its annoying because I have it set to remember me, so it should remember more than just my email address and keep me logged in for a longer time

"Inactivity" seems to be the key here. In this forum we get logged out while active; sometimes while typing a reply. When clicking on the Post button, we find ourselves logged out, and the Back button does not bring the lost text back!
What is happening is the following:
- you log in on the Adobe SSO portal;
- the Adobe SSO portal sets a cookie for 24 hours;
- the Adobe portal redirects you to login.jspa on the Jive side;
- Jive obtains your credentials from Adobe;
- Jive sets session cookies that expire when you close your browser;
- Jive creates a session on the server that expires after 4 hours of
inactivity.
Your session ends after 4 hours of inactivity (server side session
expiration) or when you close your browser (and your session cookies
disappear). That is all functioning as designed.
If your Jive session ends before your adobe.com cookie expires you can
continue to work with the forums. That is for up to 24 hours after your
login on the Adobe SSO portal. But all that time you will not have a
Jive session. So the moment your Adobe.com cookie disappears, which is
on a fixed date not related to activity, the forums will show you as
logged out because your session disappeared long ago and now your cookie
did too.
All of this can easily be verified by looking at the cookies in your
browser and playing with their values.
The simple fix for this is to make the adobe.com cookies session cookies
too. That way they disappear when you close your browser. So that way
you are logged out much sooner because you don't get the 24-hour period.
So you don't run the risk of loosing a reply, but instead are logged out
much faster. Would you prefer that behavior?

Why does my Mac Air keeps logging out and restarting

Can you explain to me why my Mac Air keeps giving me this message? In the middle of a download and I get this when the computer goes into sleep. Once I get this message it will keep trying to log out until finally I log out and then back in again.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy
If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your login password when prompted.
Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked
Log out after … minutes of inactivity

HT4314 iPhone 5c iOS 8.0.2 Game Center randomly logged me out and asked for a nickname as if I did not have an account. How do I get my account back?

I updated my iPhone to iOS 8 then added the 8.0.2 update early last week. On 10/3/14, I used an app that saves through Game Center with no problems (and had not been logged out of Game Center at any time since the update), then a few hours later when I tried to go back in, Game Center popped up and asked for my password. I put in my password, then Game Center prompted me for a nickname. When I entered my nickname, it told me it was associated with another account. I only have one Apple ID and the account the nickname is associated with is my own. After going out and back in and restarting the phone, I finally entered a new nickname thinking maybe it was being required as part of the update but then it cleared all of my Game Center information. Is there a way I can get back to my original nickname and Game Center progress? Thank you in advance for your help as I am not very tech savvy.

Even easier than what I wrote originally. Just do a RESET ALL SETTINGS . I was originally only trying the "reset network settings" but didn't try reset ALL settings. This has helped 5 of my friends regain their Bluetooth connectivity with a variety of autos. But remember two things: 1) back up data on your phone before trying this and 2) don't forget to delete the bluetooth original pairing from your car.
