Powerbook logs out automatically

Hi,
I've got a brand new Powerbook G4, and every morning when I wake up, my Powerbook has both gone to sleep and logged me out. This is interesting considering that in my Energy Saver preferences, I've indicated that under the settings for "Power Adapter", the computer should never go to sleep, and I've never indicated anywhere that it should log me out automatically.
Putting the computer to sleep otherwise seems to work fine, as I do that when I go to work and come home; when I wake it up, I'm still logged in as expected.
Anyone have any ideas?

Double check the Security settings in the System Preferences panel.
Make sure the item titled "Log out after ... minutes of inactivity" is unchecked.

Please Help. Getting logged out automatically, cant see why!!

Hi all
If we leave our Mac for any time and let it go to sleep sometimes when it is woken up you are greeted with a black screen with a plain text message in blue (which is not in a window but directly on the background) which says...
"You have only one minuet left to use your computer.
Please close your documents and quit your session to avaiod data loss.
Click to continue."
When you click to continue we are returned to our respective account and can continue to work for a Minuet after which time the account is logged out and the Mac returns to the Log-in window.
I have no idea why this is happening and it is getting rather annoying.
First let me say that the auto log-out feature in the Security Sys Pref IS disabled! I haven't installed any new Software recently which is likely to do this.
This morning it happened in my wifes account and I checked the log files in Console for any messages which might help. The system.log stated that "??? crashed". There was an entry written to CrashReporter ???.crash.log at the time the logout occured which I include below...

There are 4 user accounts on my Mac. Mine, my Wifes, my Daughters (which is strongly restricted using Parental Controls) and a Test User Account. I have not had a chance to see if the same happens in the Test Account yet...
What is the "System Events" Application? It is in my wifes account login items but not mine which I find rather strange.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey
Will do that. However I think I might have found out what is causing it. I have Watcher installed which will time different users computer use. It will also allow you to assign users so much time for each user befor they will be logged out. I think I have had a prference set wrongly and that is what is happening. After 23hrs 59min any user will be logged out. I have reset the pref and will see what happens.
Thanks for your help amyhow...

Log out automatically

I just wiped my time capsule harddrive clean and start a new backup, I am backing up 68gb of data, it takes quite a while even I use network cable, my macbook pro just logged out by itself, I cannot resume after log in, how can I prevent that? I have set never shut off harddrive and display in the power preference. Any idea? Thanks Alex

ku-man,
Sorry you are still having this issue. Forgive me for not suggesting this in your earlier thread but try this...
*Delete The PowerManagement .plist*
The Energy Saver settings are saved in the PowerManagment .plist. Go to...
Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
delete this .plist and then reboot your Mac. It should be recreated with default settings.
Now try backing up and seeing if it falls asleep again.
Let us know if this resolved your issue.

Java Program destroys Linux Server Display or Server logs out Automatically

hi,
i am facing problem when my servlet program is running.
my servlet starts a process at server which is a simple java program which publishes PDF,
XML, RTF files and lates long to run for about 45 minutes.
i give a call to a shell file on the server (Red Hat Linux 9.0) which in turns calls a java
program that runs on gnome-terminal.
i have started Tomcat from SSh for that i have exported DISPLAY (Environment variable) from
.bash_profile. i need to do this because i need graphics environment (X11 Windows) for jfor
which is used print jpeg images in PDF and RTF reports.
PROBLEM
Some time my server display gets destroyed or the server gets Logout automatically, when my
process is running.
following is sode to start a gnome-terminal

kindly help me,
Thanks in advance for ur most important suggestion or solution.

Sounds a lot like a bug in some of the native libraries you use (or even in AWT). Try looking into your log files (especially for X and for your tomcat) to find out if any error messages are printed.
Additionally there are X servers out there that don't need any concrete display hardware to run (Xvfb comes to my mind, but IIRC there are more modern alternatives available). Usign that might or might not solve your problem, but would be a good idea either way.

TS1398 can i possibly download from iOS 6 back to iOS 5? there are so many glitch with this new iOS 6, iTunes does not automatically syncing with my iPad2. Messages keeps on logging out, I have to log in again and again, including Facebook it is also acti

I am very excited with this ios 6, but now am very regretful that why did i updated my ios because the new ios 6 did not live up to my expectations, Youtube was gone, iTunes cannot automatically sync with my iPad, iMessages is logging out automatically, even facebook is acting wierd. facetime connection is very poor there are so many glitches with this ios 6. And I know that it is impossible for me to turn back safely to ios 5.1.1 now. Are there any suggestions you can give me? I just want my iPad 2 back to its normal and efficient stage again. Thanks

I am sorry to tell you that Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. There are unsupported methods for doing so, but we are forbidden to provide that information on these forums.

Safari Automatic Log out??

We have our iMac set to log out automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity, but lately it has been shutting down everything we have open including Safari and iPhoto which can be very annoying when you're working on a project or keeping tabs on an auction, etc. Question is, how can we get the computer to "time out" and require a password to log back in but still keep our programs open? Essentially, like "locking" a Windows computer... or is there a separate option to close programs automatically also that we might have accidentally activated?
Thanks!

I do not know much about "locking" a PC, hvdel, but if you are still using Snow Leopard, in System Preferences, in the Security pane, under the General tab, there is a setting to automatically log out after X minutes of inactivity. Near the top of that pane, there is a check box that allows you to require a password after sleep or the screen saver begins.
If you log out, any open programs must close. However, you can put the computer to sleep and that will not quit any programs.
So what you can do is uncheck the automatic log out option and instead use the Energy Saver options in System Preferences to put the computer to sleep after 10 minutes. Then you can go to the General tab in the Security settings pane and check the box requiring a password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins.
Then the computer will go to sleep, but no one can wake it up without a password. So, in effect, you are locking the computer without logging out.

Auto log out

I am not sure why this is happening but it seems in the last couple weeks, my PB will log out after a period of inactivity. It's only happened a couple times, and I haven't sat around to determine the sequence of events. I just leave the computer alone (normally, I close the lid when I am not around it) for a half hour or so, come back, and the log in screen is there.
It's only a minor glitch, but I can't find a setting that seems like it would stop the computer from logging out automatically...
Thanks!

How to stop auto log out during slow download from App store?

How do I change my settings on my MacBook Pro using OS X 10.6.8 so that I can download OS X Lion on a very slow internet connection. Periodically, the operating system is logging out automatically during the download and I have to restart the download.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.
Regards.

Log out problem

Hi,
My machine logs out automatically after about 2 hours when left untouched.
This is good for security I guess, but sometimes when i want to listen to music for example without using the mac it will still log out automatically. I have looked at the energy settings, have dragged the slider to never sleep but it still logs out by itself after 2 hours. Is there anyway round this?
Thanks.

Open the Security pane of System Preferences and check whether the computer is set to automatically log you out after a period of inactivity.

Guest users in WLC are not logged out after pre defined time.

Hi,
My customer wants to create guest users in wireless lan controller. We were successfully able to create that and it worked . But the problem is that to access the internet the users have to change the "proxy server" settings on the internet explorer. As a result the guest users are not logged out automatically after the pre defined amount of time. We enabled " by pass proxy server " settings in internet explorer also, unfortunately it didnt work too.
If we disable the proxy settings in internet explorer customers were logged out, but the problem is that once the customer log in he will change the proxy settings in internet explorer to browse net but wont get disconnect unless and untill he manually change the proxy settings in the internet explorer.
Is there any other way to solve this issue? Can any one provide any alternative solution if possible.
Regards,
Bibin

Can you explain how your proxy server has anything to do with your wireless access duration?
Does you proxy server have the logic that stops the internet access after a period of time? If so, I assume you turn proxy off in order to web-authenticate? If so, then you just need to tell the browser to not proxy for the virtual IP address of the WLC. You'll never get redirected to the webauth page if you don't send a https request to it (as if, your browser is sending it the IP of your proxy server).

Airtunes Stops, Mac Logs Out User

When using Airtunes (over Airport Extreme to Airport Express then through stereo system), everything works great for 45 minutes or an hour, and then suddenly stops. When I go to the Mac to see what's happening, I've been logged out automatically.
I would normally think that it's because the computer is set to go to sleep after X minutes of inactivity, except that (1) it's not really inactive as long as music is playing, and (2) any other time the computer goes to sleep due to inactivity, the user is not logged out.
Is this in fact due to the sleep setting, or is something else going on? Thanks.

Automatic log out of my account

hi -
my powerbook has begun quitting all applications and logging out of my account - all by itself! this usually happens when the computer is left open and I haven't touched it for some time.
no, I have not configured any automatic, timed shut down sequence, and no, it is not family or collegues logging out for me. it also happens when I'm home alone.
has anyone experienced the same?
best,

Why does iTunes automatically sign me in to my acct. after I have logged out?

This is very annyoing. I logged out for a reason - hello.
It's bad enough that iTunes contiunally badgers you to sign in whenever you access your music library. But even worse, despite declining the multiple prompts to sign in, the system does so anyway... behind your back!
And before I get the standard repsoneses, No I don't use iTunes Match, No I don't have Automatic Downloads enabled, in fact, I didn't even have wi-fi enabled at the time (it used my cellular data - which, BTW, is turned off for Music!)
This becomes a big issue for me, because if I don't sign out of my iTunes acct. before synching my music, iTunes takes the liberty of renaming all my music to match their exact decsriptions in the store. Another rdiculous problem. So I've learned this work-around, the hard way, and now I have the magic login fairy to contend with.
I've said it before it in several other posts, if a person doesn't use iTunes Match, Automatic Downlods, or store their music in iCloud, then don't touch my music.
Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. The screen is showing iPhone in Recovery Mode and needs to be Restored with current iTunes on computer.
