Prevent Someone from closing window

I am currently filling out a form on safari and there is no option to save my work so I will have to leave it up on the screen all day. My younger sibling use the computer too and have already accidentally closed it and have started over 2 times. Is there a way I can prevent someone from closing the window or lock it in any way????

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
No way to lock-in a window, however, if you have administrative control of the system, you can set up a separate user account for others (System Preferences>Accounts). This way, only you have access to your files etc. in your User Account, while affording others the same in their user account.

Prevent user from closing the applications

Hello,
we would like to deploy to our users web application using Internet Explorer which is published over RemoteApps. Because this application takes long time to load we would like to prevent user from closing application. So we would like that session and application
stays opened when the user clicks on close button on Internet Explorer that is published over RemoteApps.
In other words, we would like to disconnect client from RemoteApp session, but stay logged in and keep the application running in the background.
Is this possible to do?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Marko

Hello,
thank you all for your answer. I guess this is not a good news. Any other idea how to solve this problem - to start Internet Explorer web application as soon as possible.
Last week I have found a VB script on one forum that would close the RemoteApp Windows without closing the appliaction on server but I can't find it today. Does anybody know something about this script?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Marko

Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone from taking the quiz, without going through the conte

Hi.
Is there a way in Captivate 5 to prevent someone from clicking on the quiz to take it, without having gone through the content?

Hi.
Regarding preventing someone from taking the quiz without going through the content...
I decided to separate the quiz out of the project as a separate item.
We are going to use a Learning Management System which will house the module to control the access.
The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the Quiz link, until they have gone through the content. (So they cannot by-pass the content and just do the quiz).
I was trying to find a way to control this from within Captivate 5 and keep people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz inside the original project).
However, this LMS solution will work for this module.
Thanks everyone!

What does it mean when you prevent someone from redirecting a webpage?

I was surfing a traffic exchange site when I received a note from Firefox that it had prevented someone from redirecting the webpage that I was viewing. I would like to understand the significance of this action. I feel as if I have been protected from something, but I don't know what. Can you inform me?

A red check means the text wasn't sent (maybe the number has been changed, they have texts blocked, there was a network problem).

HT4528 How can I erase an iphone remotely due to it being lost to prevent someone from using it?

How can I erase an iPhone remotely due to it being lost to prevent someone from using it?

You have to have had Find My iPhone active on the device before it was stolen, and it has to be connected to the Internet via wifi or cellular. Log into www.icloud.com and see if you can locate your device. If it is offline, it means it is probably out of battery, the thief has turned it off. You can send a wipe command to the phone and if it does get connected, it will wipe the phone. If you did not have Find My iPhone active, there is nothing you can do.

Mx.core.Window - prevent user from closing the window?

Hi,
mx.core.Window has properties 'maximizable' &
'minimizable', but there doesn't seem to be any 'closable'
property. In my application I'm creating another window (apart from
the main application window) that needs to be open the whole time
the application is running. If I can't prevent the user from
closing the window, then I'll have to rig up some code to
automatically re-open it if the user closes it. I'm hoping there's
a way to prevent the user from closing the window in the first
place though.
I'll much appreciate any ideas - thanks :)

Listen for the window's closing event and call
preventDefault().

Prevent customer from closing from

Hi all,
I have to prevent the customer from closing a form depending on a value i want to check.
It is not only closing the distinct form but also he may not be allowed to close forms runtime.
How can I do this?
Forms 6i, Oracle 9i
Thanks,
Silke

Silke,
try a key-exit trigger on the Forms level. Use exit_form in this trigger to leave a form, don't do antyhing - or raise an alert - if the user shouldn't leave the form.
However, once this application should be moved to the Web there will be an issue that you cannot handle gracefully.
It's when the user closes the Browser Window to close Forms (this is similar to killing the runtime engine process in client/server). In this case all uncommited changes get lost.

Want to prevent someone from printing photos on DVD

I have made a DVD using 140 photos in a saved slideshow. I will be giving this DVD to someone to view. I want to prevent anyone from printing my photos. What do I need to do to prevent this?

I want to prevent anyone from printing my photos. What do I need to do to prevent this?
Tell them they shouldn't print them, that the photos are your property, and you'll have to trust them not to violate that trust. And if you don't trust them don't work for/with them.
There are very few ways if any to really protect this kind of stuff. I'd put watermarks on the photos before making the slideshow. And since slideshows are 72 dpi, and good photos need much higher resolution for printing, don't worry about it so much.

Prevent BEx from stealing windows focus and disable nag screen

Hi all,
Whenever I start BEx Analyzer or QueryDesigner (3.5) it takes a couple of minutes until the application is loaded. During that time a welcome screen turns up, which prevents me from doing anything else but staring at the photo of the SAP Building.
For some reason the log on pad pops up as well.
When reloading a query in Bex Analyzer, the application steals the windows focus several times.
Does anyone know how I can disable these "features"?
Thanks
Gerrit

We have the same problem when reloading queries in BeX Analyzer.
Did you find a solution to prevent the application to steal the windows focus several times.
Thanks for your answer.

Prevent terminal from closing

Hi all, I'm new to solaris and i have some problem.. hope you guys can help me out.
Currently i'm doing a script for my project and I want to prevent people from exiting the terminal by clicking the "X" at the top right.
so in short:
when I run the script,
user cannot exit out of the terminal
unless the scipt finish running.
Thanks alot!

My first thought was to remove the frame with the "X" button, but its is added by the window manager; metacity, so it turned out to be a rather bad idea.
However, when you click 'X' in a terminal window it will send a SIGHUP to the window in question, so all you have to do is to catch SIGHUP signals before you run your script, i.e, to run "/bin/true" when you get a SIGHUP:
# trap /bin/true HUP
# ./path/to/some/script
A third method would be to determine the parent shell process from the script itself, and then use the 'nohup' command to force the parent process to ignore SIGHUPs, for example:
mybox(~):$ cat dont_kill_me.sh
#!/bin/sh
shell=`ptree $$ |grep sh |head -1 |awk '{print $1}'`
nohup -pa ${shell}
while :; do
/bin/echo "enter something: \c"
read something
echo "got: $something"
if [ "${something}" = "quit" ]; then
exit 0
fi
done
mybox(~):$
If you run this script, it will not directly be affected by clicking the 'X'.
However, the nohup will only be effective during the lifetime of the script. So if you start the script and click "X", your script will finish, but once the script is finished the SIGHUP will be sent to the shell..

How do I prevent someone from receiving my iMessages on my old iPhone?

The new owner of my old iPhone is receiving iMessages that are intended for me (by simply "texting" me). People say when they "text" (fellow iPhone/iMesssage" friends), the messages bounce back. Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent this from happening? I have changed my iTunes ID & password... Many thanks!

You need to log turn imessage off on the old phone and change your Apple ID password.
Delete the phone from your profile in https://supportprofile.apple.com if you registered your phone there

How can I prevent Firefox from closing when it crashes?

So, I'm using a Windows 8 computer, & when it crashes, it closes altogether & it's really annoying having to reload my session, but when I was using a Windows 7 computer, Firefox hardly ever closed altogether when it crashed- all it did was freeze. Is there some way to only have it freeze instead of closing altogether? I hope you understand what I'm saying. Thanks.

If only, if only! :)
No, there isn't a way you can choose what Firefox does when it crashes. It crashes for a reason. But we can see what's causing those crashes.
Can you give me your crash reports?
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.
Your System Details looks very light/empty. Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting.<br>
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

If you have multiple devices on the find my iphone how do you prevent someone from accessing those other devices if your device is stolen

I have set up the find my iphone app to be hooked up to my phone, computer, ipod and my family's devices. Thru the find my iphone app you can delete the hard drive of any device to keep a theif from getting your personal information. But lets say my phone is stolen, is there a way of preventing the person who stolen my phone from being able to delete the information on my computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your device should have it's screenlock enabled so that this can't happen, but if you haven't set a screenlock, then yes someone could do this.
