Mail blocks shutdown and automatically re-starts

When I try to shot down the Mail program blocks the shutdown, and it automatically opens at start-up even though it is NOT a login item. (It started after I installed the Avast anti-virus program). Any idea what cause this and what to do about it? Thanks.

I learned to shut down all my major programs before shutting down. It has saved me countless headaches. I don't have an answer for the program automatically starting up when it's not a login item, but perhaps it has something to do with the way you end up shutting down. If you just shut down by pushing the power button that would be why.

A UPS model that works with Mac Native software to do a graceful shutdown and automatic restart during a power failure.

I've tried 3 UPS's (2 APC and one TripLite) that state they are OSX compatible, however, they do not fully respond to the native osx setting in (system Preferences/ Energy Saver/ UPS/Start up automatically after a power failure). This is what happens:
During a power outage, the OS does a graceful shutdown, but does not reboot when power is restored.
Apparently, the UPS is not notified to turn off during the shut down process. The power (on-Off-On) cycle is required by the mac to restart.
Trip lite tech support says they have software that works with Windows and linux to do this, but not mac.
I've tried two older APC UPS's, One Smart UPS1500 and a Back-UPS 1500 with the same result on two different servers and one iMac.
At this point I'm looking for a make and model of a UPS that does work. If anyone can verify a make and model that actually does this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Its a simple test, just pull the plug on your UPS, wait for the system to shut down, and then plug the UPS back in. The system should reboot.

Many of the CyberPower UPS units are compatible. Checkout the home solutions on this page: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems.html

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mail App, gMail and automatically deleting trash

I have the Mail App setup for gmail's IMAP configuration. I have set up the client to store both locally and the server for the TRASH folder. gMail automatically deletes trash in 30 days but I am trying to enhance that feature by allowing MAIL to handle this for me. And as you would have guess, I want less than 7 days too.
So I developed a script that when run removes the trash greater than 3 days. But as soon as I do it the TRASH is added back from the server. It seems to work but doesn't stick.
Here is my script if someone is curious:
tell application "Mail"
delete (every message of mailbox "Trash" of account "Google Mail" whose (date received is less than (current date) - 3 * days))
end tell
Maybe there is a better way to do this. I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions that you guys know about.
Thanks in advance.

HP ENVY 15 thermal shutdown and now wont start up

So i was playing some borderlands and all of a sudden, my screen goes black and my computer shutdown. I managed to restart it the first time with no problems. But after about 1 hour, the same thing happens again when i was playing. However this time i am unable to start up my laptop. I keep getting stuck at the "Starting Windows" screen with the windows logo. I've tried leaving it there for a while already and nothing seems to happen at all.
I ran the harddisk test and it passed. I am also able to boot into safe mode.
I really need help ASAP to get my computer back up again.

Thanks for the prompt reply WeiH.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be an HP Service Center in my country (Sri Lanka). So now I'm really confused as to what my retailer's technicians meant by "we'll send it to the local HP Support Center and have your display panel replaced".
Whatever they did, the display panel has been replaced and I've been using it for less than a week so far with no issues. The touchpad hasn't really been heating up and has in fact been as warm as the rest of the notebook. Perhaps it's because I have now turned on the option of disabling the touchpad whenever an external cursor device is attached (since I primarily always use a mouse).
Needless to say, since we both have no clue as to how the touchpad overheated and damaged the screen (in the exact position and measurement as the touchpad) I feel like it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
Obviously I understand that there's little you can do on your side other than direct me to an HP Support Center. However I hope my worries are justified as I feel that as a consumer I shouldn't have to worry about my brand new product malfunctioning by no fault of my own.

Random shutdown and wouldn't start up

My macbook is driving me crazy. Each time it is displaying a different symptom. It will randomly shut down or suddenly display a black screen or strip patterns on the screen. And then, sometimes it will remain shutting down, sometimes it will repeat the hardware sound when you boot your computer. After I force shutting down the computer by holding the power key and reboot the computer, sometimes it will start as normal, sometimes it wouldn't start up and display a black screen, or repeat the sound. And if I move it, it will recover sometimes. And when it's normal, it passes the hardware test, and when it's not normal, it cannot run the hardware test at all or run half of it and shut down. Today, it displays a new symptom, when start up, it beeps three times, stop, then beep three times again. The LED flashes with it. When I restart, it freezes at the gray/blueish screen. Help~~ Thanks.

Yes, i tottaly agree with you, at the only difference that i do not have so meny problems that you have...
But i can compare to my previous Ibook some good stuffs and very bad stuffs:
The only worth thing i had previously with my Ibook its that he was VERY slow.. But every thing else was OK.. never Bugg, never Crash, very Strong body... All good!!..
Now i have a reverse problem: My BlackBook is a **** Fast Performing Machine, but is also its DAMNED instable and fragile and Bugged...
For me the reasons are a group of incompatible things: INTEL shipset not adapted to Leopard (also Tiger) and bad hardware quality problems...
I'm a Pionneer on Apple Macintosh since 1985.
a little history reminder: Macs in order was made at the begining:
1) In copertino,
2) Then In Irland (for european people like me)
3) Check republic (if my memory is good)
4) and now in china... NO COMMENTS!!
I know.. price are less than before for more speed, but the rest is verry, verry poor compare to previously quality...
Then if you have paid 1000 dollars for your Macbook and you have so many problems, its normal This WASNT Apple politics at the begining because the customers was PROS in PROS activity,
Now Apple sells Iphone, Ipods and Macbooks at Mister-everybody in the world who buy Apple for the name and that are not so exigent for quality like i am!!
If you buy first quality shoes from known factory, your got the same problem...
Now, you can try to use a program that fix some problems, it calls OnyX. (read carefully introductions)

WebLogic Datasources : Automatically Shutdown and Start up

Hi there,
I have a problem with my datasources, I have WLST script which shutdown and start automatically some datasources in my environment, all of them in my crontab !
Follow exactly my script !
[weblogic@wls_server restartDS]$ cat shutdownDS1.py | more
connect('weblogic','password','t3://server:10000')
domainConfig()
servers = cmo.getServers()
domainRuntime()
for server in servers:
try:
print 'check ' + server.getName()
print '/ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA1'
cd('ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA1')
objectArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.Object)
stringArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.String)
invoke('shutdown', objectArray, stringArray)
except WLSTException,e:
print server.getName() + 'is not running.'
for server in servers:
try:
print 'check ' + server.getName()
print '/ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA2'
cd('ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA2')
objectArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.Object)
stringArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.String)
invoke('shutdown', objectArray, stringArray)
except WLSTException,e:
print server.getName() + 'is not running.'
exit()
Don´t worry, I have another script which kill XA3 and XA4 datasources as well, so, this way, I have load balancing here !
It works with CRONTAB !
The problem here is : Doesn´t matter if datasources are running or not, simply , datasources automatically shutdown and after that, start it! But I would like to improve this, I would like to implement datasource status condition, I mean, when datasource it become overloaded, it kill automatically , this way, I would not use crontab, but another kind of trigger |!
Did you see this before ?
I would like to improve this workaround !
Just keep in mind, me and my team, didn´t discover the root cause yet, so, this automatically datasource restart is a kind of workaround!
Thanks in advance !

Hmm. what was the problem app?
Force a shut down by holding the power button for an extended amount.
Reboot into SafeBoot mode to clear cache files, then reboot as normal.

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got a big backlog.

It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance issues in Mail if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.

Automatic Scheduling of Virtual Machine Shutdowns and Start-ups

Is there a scheduler available to Shutdown and Start-up Azure Virtual Machines?

Hi,
Based on my experience, if you shut down the VM within the RDP session, the VM would be in the stopped status and you will still pay for it.
Do you want to stop it to the stopped(deallocated) status to save money? If yes, you can create schedule tasks with Azure PowerShell cmdlets on your local computer.
Start-AzureVM -ServiceName xxx -Name xxx
Stop-AzureVM -ServiceName xxx -Name xxx (VMs would be in the stopped(dealloacted) status)
Stop-AzureVM -ServiceName xxx -Name xxx -StayProvisioned (VMs would be in the stopped status)
Please note that if all the VM in a cloud service are in the stopped(deallocated) status, the public IP address would be changed next time you start a VM.

I'm using Mail 7.3 but can't find a "Block Sender" option, as exists in Outlook, as a way to block spam and unsolicited advertising. thanks.

I'm using Mail 7.3 but can't find a "Block Senders" option - as exists in Outlook - as a way to prevent repeated spam and advertising landing in my Inbox. Anyone have a solution for this? I've had a look at the Message Rules option but that doesn't seem to offer a fix. Thanks

You should be able to manage the problem with Rules, if you are happy to just delete the emails without you ever seeing them.
In Mail>Preferences>Rules, create a new rule with these options:
Description: Give a name to the Rule, such as Delete or Block Sender
On the line started 'If' choose 'Any' from the drop down menu and on the next line select 'From' and 'Contains', and then input the email address of the unwanted sender
Under 'Perform the following actions' choose 'Delete'.
As other senders you want to block send you unwanted emails you can add them to the rule by clicking the '+' sign against the line you added the email, if you have an email from that sender on screen when you edit the rule - they should appear there automatically.

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge, after updating to ios 8.0.1

My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge. Even on long pressing power button - screen doesn't showing anything - not even "needs charging logo".
This is happening only since I have updated to new ios version (ios 8.1).
Is there anyone facing similar issue?? Any suggestion?!?

Hi jayla_mora,

OSX 10.6 .8 -- Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options. Don't know where else to look.

How do I keep Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (OSX 10.6 .8 -- MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options.

Hi fullrun-
Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps.
