Restoring windows/application state after restart.

I occasionally work for a guy that is a bit of a crackpot. He almost refuses to restart his laptop, (17" G4) because he'll need to open all of his applications again. He'll have about 10-15 applications running at any given time.
Is there a way to record what applications are open and what document/location in a document is open so that it can be restored after a restart? If there is an application to to it, that would be great, otherwise, I expect it would be an Apple script type of solution.
Thanks,
Chris P.

Hi,
at least the disks must be there/accessible, before the OracleCSService can start.
As you can see in the logs, he cannot acces OCR/Voting disks.
If I can remember correctly, there should be some other service (OracleVolumeService) which provides the links (\\.\votedsk1).
You can verfiy these by using guioracleobjectmgr.exe (which will display the tags) (or was it guioracleobjmanager.exe)...
Still: For all this to work, at least the Windows Diskmanager should see the physical disk.

Restore Windows Application Finder unexpectedly quit?

Getting "Restore Windows" Application Finder unexpectedly quit. I can't restore window and see desktop. Finder icon is flashing. Thank you

Hallo,
I tried several things but what really helped was "Main Menu Pro".
you can download a trial version from http://mainmenuapp.com/
go through the menu and clean up your disk and it should run fine. my problem was that there was some stuff in the trash that was blocking everthing. i am still using that software and it really does it without complicated procedure.
good luck

CC 2014 on Yosemite shows applications launched after restart (but they are not)

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Running Yosemite GM on a late 2009 27" iMac.
All of the apps (except Bridge...which has been extensively discussed) appear to work fine. I routinely use Illustrator, PShop, After Effects, and Audition....no issues...
When I restart my machine, however, and OS X goes to restore all of the apps that were open before restarting...that's when things get strange. In my dock, there are dots below the apps that were open, indicating that they've relaunched....although if I click on one of the icons in the dock to move over to that app, the app launches....it wasn't actually open although it shows as open and running in the dock. Furthermore, if you right click on one of the "running" icons after restart it shows the app as non-responsive and asks if you want to force quit.
It really hasn't made any material difference in my work...like I said, all of the apps work (except Bridge when it comes to previewing AE presets) and it's just mildly frustrating....
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

Jeff,
I have two machines, a late 2009 27" iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2 with 12g of ram, and an early 2009 17" MacBook Pr with 8g of RAM, same OS.
Creative Cloud runs perfectly on the MacBook Pro, all the apps hang on the iMac. I have disabled every extension, I have deleted CC and reinstalled, I have deleted all the apps and ran the cleaner and reinstalled everything, they still hang. I use dropbox and have unchecked the finder config, both machines. I use FontAgent Pro on both machines. Both machines have Skyfonts. I have no problem with any other app on the iMac or the MacBook Pro. No wifi issues. We just moved here 10 days ago, the problem started then. If it was unseated RAM, other applications would be affected, and they are not. Can you help?

IChat windows loose data after restart

Hello,
If one keeps a series of ichats open and shuts down ichat and restarts the computer, after restarting ichat the windows are still open but know have a question bubble with the name of the person previously ichated with.
using 10.6
under a previous version (10.5?), after a restart the windows reopened but with the ichats still showing. How do we get back this behavior?

Hi,
In iChat 4 you had "Remember Open Chats across Launch" which displayed the last chats you had.
In IChat 5 you have a different setting linked to Save Transcripts.
Save Transcripts has to be On.
You can then set to Display a certain number of Chats.
This does not replicate the Remember Open Chats.
Last Chat when a Buddy is also clicked in the Buddy List will display the last chat you had with them.
The Last 25 Chats option (as with other of the numbers) will display the last chosen number of IMs from that chat (Or the last chat of another selected Buddy)
(Returning to Last Chat then only displays the Last IM).
Now as iChat 5 is a new version the .plist is rewritten the first time.
This has a direct effect on the Last Chat options.
The .plist is now missing some info about the Last Chats although it can search and display the Last Chat with a Buddy if a Buddy is clicked.
It seems to get better as time goes on about displaying Open chats on Quit like the previous version if left at Show Last Chat rather than one of the numbered choices.
Another way to explain it.
In the File Menu of iChat you have Recent Items.
This lists the last Text Chats and Video or Audio chats you had and Saved Chats
(The Number of items displayed here is set in System Preferences > Appearance > Number of Documents)
It seems that there is a correlation between th Recent Items and the Saved Chats and the Last Chat has to be in both to replicate the "Remember Open Chats across Launch"
It is not a perfect match for the previous setting.
It does seem to improve.
Having said that I played and tweaked mine running though all the option I could think off and then left it for a while.
Now mine seems to remember the Last Open Chat properly. (I may have beaten it in to submission)

Unable to install Windows 7 pro after restart by Boot Camp Assistant

Hello,
I have an issue with installing windows 7 pro 64bit on my MBP 13" mid 2009.
It has 500GB Samsung HDD.
I tried to install windows 7 on a boot camp partition with boot Camp assistant and also during the process, I
downloaded the driver helpers from apple website and burned it on dvd. after system restart, It starts to load windows
files and then asks me to give it the cd of drivers [ right after I select the country and language in the start of the setup ]
I tried to select the files of the cd [ which I burned by the boot camp assistant ] but it just keeps telling me there is
NO suitable driver matches my mac.
I have downloaded the genuine windows 7 and burned it on dvd.
Also I have Lion, Boot Camp 4.0.1
Can someone please help on this issue?
Many thanks,

The partition table needs to be repaired.
That is why the guide asks to backup before you begin.
Try Lion Recovery and check health of all the partitions.
Sometimes repairing or try shrink and expand the partition.
But it is not uncommon for what happened to you to render the drive with smaller HFS and then require erase the drive in some cases and restore.
Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2
Cloning as a Backup Strategy
CCC is now able to also clone Lion's Recovery Partition as well.
Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility
Create Lion Recovery Drive

JS CS4: restore window/application

This line hides InDesign:
app.windows[0].minimize();
But how do you get the app back? I've tried app.windows[0].restore(), .maximize(), bringToFront(), .bounds = [...]. And I've tried it with layoutWindows[0], layoutWindows[0].everyItem().etc(), but nothing seems to work.
Thanks,
Peter

Your syntax is correct and no it doesn't work.
However running it from VBA in MS Word does work similar to running in console.
Here are some more things that aren't working
var s = 'set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")\n WshShell.AppActivate "Adobe InDesign"'
app.doScript(s,ScriptLanguage.VISUAL_BASIC);
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
var targetApp = BridgeTalk.getSpecifier( "indesign-6.0");
bt.target = targetApp;
bt.body = 'app.activate()'
bt.send
or even
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
var targetApp = BridgeTalk.getSpecifier( "indesign-6.0");
bt.target = targetApp;
bt.body = "app.doScript('Set myIndesign = CreateObject(\"InDesign.Application.CS4\")\n myIndesign.Activate',ScriptLanguage.VISUAL_BASIC);"
bt.send
this won't work even straight from vbscript
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.AppActivate "Adobe InDesign"
WshShell.SendKeys("% x")
Now while we say that these things don't work, they really do work. After running any of these on Win XP it can be seen on the toolbar that InDesign is active, however the Window doesn't show up causing all the problems.
Looking at the Windows messages with Spy++ it doesn't look very different, and it seems that the issue happens when running in the same process of InDesign. I would get that you could create an application that would be run with commandline, that would run in its own process and would be able to maximize InDesign.
Is it worth the bother? you decide

Hi,
This may happen if you do not have enough memory. Check you have paging file size 3-4 times of your RAM. How much RAM do you have?
Your JDK also seems to be old though it may not be related with this problem.

OracleCSService in 'starting' state after restart of node

Dear All,
We have two noce Oracle RAC on Windows 2003 Server (64-bit). RAC is 11gR1 while Database is 10gR2.
We faced some power issues which caused both nodes to get restarted. Howoever, one of the node faced some issues. The OracleCSService is in 'Starting' state (we are using Oracle Process Manager to manage the startup order of Oracle services). Also, we can not see the SAN disks connect on the the failing node. What do you think might be possible cause for that?
Are Shared disks required in order to Start the OracleCSSService (and other oracle related services) or the shared disks will be visible only when OracleCSService is is in started status?
When i checked log files, i can see below messages in <CRS_HOME>\log\<Node Name>\alert<NodeName>.log

Why 2 Desktop Windows IN Finder after RESTART?

After EVERY restart (whether internal or external drive) Two IDENTICAL windows appear in front
Each window lists two item: 1-icon and name of the internal HD (and external drive if any) AND
2- the NETWORK icon similar too what we see in the System Preferences window for internet, etc.
What kind of setting, where, needs to be altered so that does not occur.
It's happening on two different mac MINI's (to which changes have been made with software, butwhat did what.)

Found answer in another post on a different topic. Reset the startup disc preference and locked it
(had previously restarted from 3 different discs. here's the site/info

Your Mac "writes down" the preferred Startup Disk in Parameter RAM. That is often your Hard Drive, but at times it could be a CD or an external drive. You cannot eliminate the additional choices, and you would not want to. What you want to do is make a selection from all available and have that selection be remembered. If there is a remembered selection, that choice will be highlighted when you open Startup Disk preference.
Open that preference and Click on your Hard drive to select it. If you close the preference and re-open it, the Hard Drive will be still be selected. As long as there is stable power to your Mac, that preference will be remembered.

How to restore Windows 7 OA after HD replacement?

I had Windows 7 Home Premium OA installed on my Sony VAIO VPCSE13FX laptop. It is not under warranty. After malfunctioning of my HD, I replaced it. Do I have to pay $76.15 for a new recovery CD to be able to re-install Windows? And, guys, there is a problem on your web-site: http://store.sony.com/helpdeskcategory/helpdesk-technical-support-category-template_sny_helpdesk_tech_support_category;pgid=vq1GmP9GBypSRpHag3jvgekR0000l_ipX5yO;sid=Y5D6MWXAv-5HMTBfcbibNVfKJVEBDCMBmK2cAoEm?article=component_sny_helpdesk_tech_support_recovery_cd_dvds The link does not work: Sony VAIO DVD Recovery Request form

Hi ivmikh,
Welcome to Sony Community!
If you failed to create your own Vaio Recovery Disc then yes, you have to purchase one to install the original version of operating system and the drivers and software that came with the computer. Another option is to buy a retail version of operating system and then download the drivers and software from our website.
By the way, thank you for reporting this website that doesn't work, i will forward this to the proper department.

Safari Minimized Windows Get Lost After Restart

If I have any minimized windows when I quit Safari, I can't make them visible after I re-launch Safari without some extra trickery.
They are shown in the Window menu, with the "◆" bullet prepended, but when I select one of them, the bullet is replaced by a ckeck mark, and the frontmost window loses focus, but the minimized window isn't shown. It's as if the window is fronmost but not visible, as if it were positioned outside of the viewing area.
If I then select View > Enter Full Screen, the window becomes visible and remains so after I exit full screen mode.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? It's obviously a bug of some sort, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it bufore I report it. I have a hunch that it might be limited to Safari 7 and Mavericks running on older hardware. I'm currently using Safari 7.0.4 in OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), but I have noticed this ever since upgrading to Mavericks. I'm not sure exactly how old my MacBook Pro is, but it's old.

Is this system in domain ?
The new group policy is named “Force
a specific default lock screen image” and can be found in this path in the group policy editor: “Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative
Templates\Control Panel\Personalization”
Is this configured?

Downloaded applications disappear after restarting?

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is the best community to post this question. But here goes.
I have several applications I bought online which seem to continually disappear on restart. At first I thought I imagined it, or I did something wrong. But now I can see it happens continually when I do a full shut down, at least on several applications.
Specifically, I notice it happens with my VPN client and with Skype. A full search of my computer will only find the downloaded .dmg files for both applications. (It could be happening with more apps, but these are the ones I use frequently, so these are the ones I notice.)
I just reinstall, but it isn't very convenient.
Any idea why this would be happening and how to prevent it?
Puzzled...
Cheryl

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do you run the apps from the DMG file or you copy the apps to the Applications folder? You must copy them to Applications. If not, you will lose them because you are running them from their DMG

Mac Lion Version 10.7.3 not Restoring Windows after force quite

I am getting following error after opening Ooo (Open Office org)
"The application “OpenOffice.org” was forced to quit while trying to restore
its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?"
And nothing is happening after pressing both available button "Restore Windows"
or "Don't Restore Windows".
Even when i am trying to shot down my system Ooo stops me for doing that.
I have to force quite it before restarting/shutting down my system.
Nothing is happening when i am trying to opening any doc or xls file i am
getting same window every time.
I have also tried to install new updated version of Ooo, but problem still
exist.
Steps I followed.
1- Selecte OOo from application list and Make move to trash.
2- Selecte OOo folder from /Users/Fauad/Library/Application Support and make
move to trash.
3- Empty the trash.
4- Install OOo new version.
5- Run it
I have read post about command for terminal like rm -rf .DS_Store
i have tried running it in Appplication, Library/Application support, or on Desktop as well but nothing changed.
As far as i remember the problem is because i have forced quite all open application before shtting down my system.
Please help me how to solve this problem.
Message was edited by: fauad

Fixed it.
It is OS based problem, since MAC Lione store application state when closing
it.
Solution Steps:
1- Move to trash OOo from application folder.
2- The Library folder is hidden by default so use chflags nohidden ~/Library/
command to unhide it.
3- Move to trash all files which contains OOo in there name from users Library
folder and sub folders.
4- Reinstall OOo.
5- Launch Working

Windows Steady State VS Reboot Restore RX

I am looking for a program to restore my computers to the same settings on every boot for our library. We dont have much fund so im looking for free or cheap software to install on our 10 computers in the library. Essentially in a nutshell
I want the user to come and do whatever they want however once they are done , either they log off or restart the PC I want windows 7 to return back to the same settings each and everytime. Ive done some research on a program called Windows steady state
and it looked like exactly what I was looking for until I realised it is no longer supported. Also another similiar program I have been reading about is reboot restore rx and it seems similiar to Windows steady state. can someone shed some more
information on these programs OR others that are free for a library.

Good question. We ran Steadystate till a few years back in our school - it too was free. We began to realise that all that is free aint necessarily good for the system. After some sniffing around, among other options, we decided to go for Deep Freeze - a
restore solution that maintains settings of the PCs on every reboot. Before we opted for it, there was an initial resistance from our internal IT team. The deep freeze team gave us referrals of local schools using it. After lot of due diligence, we deployed
it in our school. They also asked us to try it for free during a 30-day trial to evaluate it in our environment.
We've been running it for 3.5 years now - and we've benefited tremendously. My staff is happy, my seniors are happier. I would strongly recommend that if you care about your computers, then rather than going for a free version, evaluate paid solutions as
well - which will give you better returns.
