Screen Lock and MS Messenger

Using Automator, I can create a screen lock script:
cat
'/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession' -suspend
But how can I get it to change my MS Messenger status to "Away" before it locks? I tried recording mouse clicks but get an error.

Same here, I just had that today exept that it was only the sound not the locking!
I turned the service off incase it remotly wipes my iMac!

How can I use screen lock and auto-logout together?

I'm managing a network of Macbook Pros at an elementary school and would like to use both the screen lock and automatic logout features together, but this does not seem to work for some reason.
What I would like to happen:
After 5 minutes: locked screen
After 30 minutes: automatically logged out
The automatic logout works when I don't have locked screen enabled, but once I turn on locked screen, the account never gets logged out. It does work if I only enable the screen saver to appear after 5 minutes. The computer isn't going to sleep so I'm not sure what is preventing the automatic logout.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

You can use LabVIEWs UDP functions to communicate with SNMP devices. The tedious part is converting the MIB information into the required hex message.
There is also a problem in using the UDP functions on port 161 (default SNMP port) if the Windows SNMP services is running.

Screen locked and dont know password

My screen locked and i have never set up password. Now i cant get my ipod to work without password.

If all of the content of your iPod is still on your computer in iTunes, you can restore the iPod in iTunes and it will erase all of the content and restore all the factory settings (including the password). Once this is done, you can sync all the content back on. If some of what's on your iPod is no longer on your computer, you will need to find that content (add from your own CDs or download songs from the iTunes store) if you still want it.

Is there any event in windows universal app (wp8.1&win8.1) that fires when screen locked and unlocked with in the app?

Hi All,
Is there any event in windows universal app (wp8.1&win8.1) that fires when screen locked and unlocked with in the app
Right now, I am using this below mentioned event
Window.Current.VisibilityChanged +=
CurrentWindow_VisibilityChanged;, but it fires even when app relaunches.
Please anybody help me to solve this issue.

Thanks for your early reply. but, those are system triggers used in background task. I want an event that fires when screen gets locked. like this...(a networkstatuschangedevent)
NetworkStatusChangedEventHandler
networkStatusCallback =
newNetworkStatusChangedEventHandler(OnNetworkStatusChange);

Why do I have to sign in after screen lock and/or sleep?

I use Skype, YIM, Facebook, etc., and I want to stay signed in all the time. Whenever my ipod is awakened from sleep or brought out of screen lock, everything is signed out and has to sign back in. I miss calls and messages this way. I appreciate the screen lock and wish to keep it operating, so how can I keep everything signed in after the screen locks?

You need to change the settings in each app. I don't use YIM, but Skype and Facebook I do use.
Under Settings >> Skype, make sure "Sign In Automatically" is on, "Go Offline" is set to never, and notifications are active. The "Don't Auto-Lock" only applies to calls made.
Under Settings >> Facebook, tap "Push Notifications" and make sure the notifications you want to be notified about are set to "On".
Under Settings >> Notifications, make sure they are on, and the types of alerts are on (Badges, Alerts, and/or Sounds).
Under Settings >> General >> Auto-Lock, make sure it is set to "Never".
For some reason, there are a couple of things that still won't happen correctly: Facebook will place a badge for activity, but it still tends to take minutes (or may NEVER) update your page to show you what occurred (I often get Notifications on wall posts that never show in the notification tray). Skype WON'T notify you of a call unless you are actively on the iPod, but you can receive messages, so I would tell whoever calls you to message you first to make sure you are actively able to receive the call (since any chat messages will alert you).

Droid 3 screen locked and cant work

i have had this droid for sometime now.. and today screen locked and will not work.. have tried in safe mode... well that is a waste of time..
so anyone out there in droid world have any ideas. i would love them ..

hi Allied. i started to have the very same problem last week with my droid 3. Now my phone does not work at all. this seems to be an ongoing problem within the droid 3 community. i have read many people complaining of the same problems. it seems that Verizon is not acknowledging this wide spread issue. I'm looking to get a replacement but i do not want to get a refurbished droid 3 back because whatever the issue is not being fixed. i just want t know if their are any other phones that can be sent as a replacement instead of receiving another phone with issues?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

My ipad appears frozen, voice over on, screen lock and passcode field zero values

my ipad appears to be frozen, cannot sign in, screen blank, voice comes on saying passcode field zero values, screen lock, and voice over on.

Have you tried to reset it?
Hold down on the home and sleep/power buttons until the Apple logo shows up.
Let the iPad reboot.
No data should be lost.

Nokia E6 issues -- Screen lock and Connectivity

I have two problems with Nokia E6. Struggling to get resolution
1. My screens get locked automatically with 7-8 sec even though I set up the screen locking time in more than 1 minute. It goes in lock state even you have active application running like reading web page or email. I went to local Nokia priority center and restored to factory setting. Still no luck. I bought the piece in July and I am facing this issue from last 2 months
2. From last 2 days, my internet connection is not working. Service provider has mentioned everything is fine with network. I rebooted the phone and tried to resave the internet connection setting, but no luck.
Please help to resolve these issues

To double-check you have Nokia Belle Referesh, please, enter *#0000# and give use your version. Furthermore, because this is related to MMS,
which network operator do you use, in which country? Finally, because these MMS are send by someone,
which phone is used by the sender?
Is he on the same network?

Can't reset my systeem admin account and all startpunt options respons with a grey screen, lock and line for password

i bought a 2nd hand iMac 21'5, 2010. First I installed Mavericks and entered a password which I forgot, and did not activate my appleid at that time.
when trying to install a new bought program, I had to enter the sys adm acoount password which I had forgotten.
TRied the options found on internet, but did not have a mavericks startup disk. downloaded Mavericks again and then tried to creatie a startpunt disk. did not work as mavericks immediately started with the installation.
Got the original Mac os X cd from the person I brought the iMac from, but now found that I cannot use the CMD r option. then my Mac opens with a grey screen, a lock and only allow a password input.
None of the startup options (eg d) are working anymore and or end up in the grey startup screen asking a password or just ingenomen the request and starts the Mac and is fully operational without full access to the systeem functions (as these require the systeem password which I forgotten). However my Mac still starts and I use mail and internet Ans all other installed programs. but I cannot create an account as I do not know the sys adm. password.
When using terminal and give the command mountain -uw / I receive the reply:
GetMasterBlock: Error 13 opening /dec/rdisk0s2
mount-hfs: Operation not permitted.
CAn somebody help me how to reset my system, even if this means I loose all data? I bought all software in the iStore, so asume I can re-install it anyway.

Ask the person you bought it from for the firmware password and supply that into the box. You'll then be able to use the Option key shortcut and can get into the recovery partition to reset the administrator password.

Hey guys, my iphone screen locks and sometimes it even prompts to be turned off. It's as if the buttons are stuck, but it doesn't feel like they are. Anyone got any clues on how to fix it?

Hey guys, i am having a little problem with my iphone 5 running on ios 7.1.1. My screen keeps locking and unlocking by itself and sometimes even prompts to power off. It makes it look like the power button is stuck but its not, this started after the phone hitting the floor some days ago. Kindly help me resolve this problem

Probably a hardware problem due to the fall. To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device

We want "screen lock" and "world clock"

Come on Apple, lets have the new firmware for our full size colour pods. The screen lock is what the iPods have needed from day one. I was always a bit scared of having phones numbers and addresses in it in case it got stolen.
Please, please, please do the features for us. you know it make sense

I cannot agree with your comments that apple always listen to users suggestions.
For the past three months on this forum people have been asking for a fix to the problem caused by the update released in June this year that stopped your iPod from updating your ratings on the fly. Before you could change a track from say three stars to five and it would move to that Smart playlist automatically without having to be connected to your compute or iTunes.
Now it only works if you are connected to ITunes which of no blooming use at all if you are away on holiday etc.
No, they could have easily rectified or looked into, but instead they stayed silent, and completely bypassed the problem.
I wont by another product from Apple if thats how they treat you. After all, apple made quite a big thing about that feature originally, thats partly why I bought the Ipod over another make, not for its looks.

Start-up grey screen lock and waking issues

Hello, I've been having several problems with my iMac G5 that seemed to all start at the same time just in this last week:
1/ Trouble starting computer - during start up the usual tone is heard, then a grey screen appears and the start up process stops. I am forced to restart and try again. After several attempts the computer makes it to the grey apple logo and it finally starts up. The computer works perfectly once it is finally on all of the way - except for the following sleep thing . . .
2/ computer won't start up again after sleeping - EITHER screen remains black and fan noise is heard, OR screen image comes back but then distorts slightly, a dark gray washes over it, and a restart notice appears (also distorted).
I have tried the follwing techniques to fix the problems:
- Disc Utility check: everything fine
- Hardware Test from disk: everything fine
- Re-set PRAM
- Tried starting holding down Option Key - had to shut down after endless wait
- Looked for new firmware - what I found didn't help
- Removed new Software - no change
- Tested with various peripherals disconnected - no dice
I have NOT tried Safe Boot - safe mode would turn off many of the functions I use most.
I'm not sure what else I can do. I am, of course, aware of the "Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" but as I live in Japan, outside Tokyo, it is going to be a long haul to get my computer in to be looked at.
Could this be fixed any other way by me? Or does this sound like a classic "G5 power/video issue" and I should just bite it and take it in?

Hi Corrie, welcome to Discussions. Unfortunately I think you hit the nail right on the head. I would find a way to get this done with extension program because paying to fix it maybe cost inhibitive. (could you ship it to a friend or relative in the USA and have them take it in)???
For the sleep/wake issue you can try resetting the SMU, read the link below and it will show you how. Good luck Bob

Does anyone know how you can play video with the screen locked and not just recorded video. Like downloaded video?

So I want to be able to play video mp4 for my kids and lock the screen so that they don't disable or stop the video. Is there anyway you can lock the screen and play video? I've seen an app that tries to do this, but it only plays video recorded from the device. Also, it's not very good. I've also looked at IOS 5, but it only seems to support audio, not video, unless I am not doing something correctly? What happened to the simple old manual 'hold' switches that most devices have, like the PSP etc? It seems like all of the touch devices have neglected a simple touch disable button? Anyway, please provide any enlightenment here.

actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.
