ScreenSaver Not activating

This just started, I have a screensaver set for 5 minutes, which normaly locks the computer. Well the screensaver is no longer activating after 5 minutes, and thus the computer never locks.
Though it turn off the screen still, but a little mouse movement will get you back to an unlocked session.
Sleeping will lock the computer.

Hello,
This could possible be a corrupted preference file, try this: Locate this file: com.apple.screensaver.slideshow.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps...

  • Set Mail Accs offline while screensaver is active

    Hi,
    When I go to the upper left corner the screensaver starts.
    I want the apple script to notice that (either that the Screensaver starts or that the upper left corner was activated) and take all Mail Accounts (in OS X Mail) offline. When I exit the Screensaver by moving the mouse and typing in my password I want the accounts to go back online and check mail.
    My knowledge in AS is very little or not there, I spend half a day on google but I could not find a real reference to AS and Mail...
    so if somebody could help me to make this above described action happen this would be very helpful!
    What I have so far:
    set mailAccounts to {"******-****.de", "*****-****.de"} <edited by host>
    tell application "Mail"
    set mailAccounts to offline
    end tell
    but if gives me "The variable offline is not defined."
    thanks

    tell application "Mail" to set enabled of account "[email protected]" to not (enabled of account "[email protected]")
    this worked, the account disappeared from my list of accounts.
    I could enable it again by ticking the box in the settings.
    But how do I script it to appear again?
    Also: When I disable an account open drafts change their "From" value. So if I disable "[email protected]" and this was selected as "from" in a draft, the next account in the list takes over, so [email protected]
    If I enable the account again it does not change, it stays at mail2.
    So it seems to be that this way of doing it is a bit odd..
    What I just thought about was a setting in the firewall rules of the computer.
    So if there is a way to set the firewall to block all (outgoing) traffic from Mail while the screensaver is active this would solve it, right?
    I checked the Firewall in the "Security" Tab on Sys Pref but I only can adjust how to handle incoming connections here.. I guess there is a firewall that can block outgoing traffic somewhere? (probably only accessible via command line)
    So how would I script it?
    just some random thoughts..

  • Strange clicking sound when screensaver is activated.

    Has anybody noticed a strange clicking sound coming from the right side of the machine when the screensaver is activated? I barely noticed it when I first got the machine, but now it seems to be getting louder.

    i switched to that screeensaver.. maxed the volume and the display
    put my ear up to the keyboard and screen for about a minute
    silence
    ... so it is something with your screen
    there have been a number of inverter problems as mentioned above
    does your scren flicker at low light..
    make noise generally?
    mine is 100% silent...
    but along with the noise if you browse these forums you'll see many people who have had the inverter replaced.....
    sorry i could not be more help.. i would call apple rather than live with it if I were you...
    good luck, sorry i could not be more helpful

    Hi dip_kinu,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what device you are trying to set up and what is happening when you try to do so. If you are having issues remembering your Apple ID, or feel like you may have set up multiple Apple ID's, you may find the following page helpful:

  • Error: "Component is not active" but component is active

    Hi Experts,
    I transported a Web Dynpro application from source system to target system. When starting the application via browser I'm getting this error message:
    "Component XXX_BDB is not active"
    But the component is active in source and in target system. When I try to activate the component in target system there comes this error:
    Component XXX_BDB can't be generated because of errors: see long text.
    (Message no. SWDP_WB_TOOL100)
    According to the long text, there is a heavy error and I should check the component in order to eliminate the errors. Checking the syntax is OK and strangely, the component controller is also active. But when I want to start WebDynpro-Component, the error message "Component is not active" is displayed.
    I have checked this thread [Problems when activating ComponentController   |Problems when activating ComponentController; without any effect....
    Does someone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tan

    Hi Thomas,
    where can I check the generation load limit?
    I've done an extended syntax check (in source system, is that okay or should I do the check on both systems?), there are some errors regarding strings, field properties and structure extensions and some warnings regarding field properties.
    But this errors are on an other wd component as well, but this other component is running, so I'm not sure if these errors are crucial. However I'm going to fix the errors now.
    Baskaran, I will check the component controller and component usage as well but how can I identify the errors or should I just check it in general?
    And what about the fact that both applications are running on the source system?
    Additional info: the source system is ECC 6.0, the target system is Solution Manager 7.0
    Thanks

  • Transfer structure not active after runing RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL

    Hi BW Experts,
    we are having a migration and just after migration we are finding the the transfer structure is not active. Hence in order to activate the same we ran <b>RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL</b> program but still in the job log finding some problems like <b>0BP_RELTYPES_TEXT</b> is not available in source system. Kindly help in this regard since this is a critical issue and we are not able to run our daily loads because of this.
    Can any one also tell me if it is a migration problem?
    Thanks and have a nice day.
    Warm Regards,
    Akilesh

    Hi Sriram,
    This is the First time ur loading data from that system, If yes u need to do full extraction steps like transfer data source in RSA5 ..etc.
    After that u need to replicate those DS from their respective sources systems in BW.
    After doing those all actions, then u need to run the program 'RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL'.
    If u have multiple TS to be activated from one source system ---> u can enter Source system name and put * in Info source column after executing the program, it will activate all transfer structures which are linked to that source system at a time.
    Hope this will help...if you have any plz reply.
    Thanks

  • Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002

    Dear All,
    I have a Scheduling Agreement for a material 'A' with Vendor 'V' with diff prices with validity dates, I did the GR & when i am posting the invoice thro' miro, system is throwing error as above Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002 Why should I activate the material ledger here ? Pls suggest how can i solve this ?
    regds,
    Kallu

    Hi
    For a Particular material, Material Ledger is active or not? Can be checked in Accountig view of Material Master.
    Why we need Material Ledger?
    A fundamental task of the material ledger is carrying inventories in multiple currencies and/or
    valuations.
    Material inventory values are normally carried by the SAP system in one currency. The material
    ledger component enables the R/3 System to carry inventory values in two additional
    currencies/valuations. Therefore, all goods movements in the material ledger are performed in up
    to 3 currencies or valuations. Currency amounts are translated into foreign currencies at
    historical exchange rates directly at the time of posting. Businesses such as those in highinflation
    countries can therefore carry their inventories in a more stable currency (such as US
    dollars). This reveals inflationary effects on inventory values.
    If you use transfer prices to represent value flows in your company in different
    valuation views, you must use the material ledger. This allows you to carry your
    inventories in three different valuations (legal valuation, valuation for reporting
    purposes, and profit center valuation).
    Before activating the material ledger, make sure you know which currencies and valuations
    you want to use, because you cannot go back and change the setting.
    Activating the material ledger is a prerequisite for using multiple valuations.
    Thanks
    Raman

  • Material ledger is not active in valuation area S001

    Dear All,
    I have created a Scheduling Agreement & did the GR. When I am doing invoice posting system is throwing error as Material ledger is not active in valuation area S001
    What might be wrong here ? For same material if I create PO then everything is working fine. Problem is only with SA.
    regds,
    CB

    Hi,
    Please check your Material Ledger Activation  setting for the Valuation AreaC002 in T-code OMX1. The Check box for the ML activation against the Valuation Area-S001 may be ticked.  After activation/ticking this box, T-code CKMSTART was not executed to complete the ML activation.  If you want the activation of Material Ledger, you have to run T-code CKMSTART to complete this ML activation or Otherwise uncheck this box.  I hope this step will resolve your issue.

  • NOOK Simple Touch says "Error Dialog: user not activated" whenever I try to open e-books?

    I have had my Nook Simple Touch for about a year now, and I have been using Adobe Digital Editions without a problem. Now, all of the sudden, Barnes and Noble updated my software and I can't read any of my ADE books!! It just says "Error Dialog: User not activated" every time I click on them. I have looked at many other websites and I have tried plugging my nook in to my computer and reauthorizing it, reauthorizing my computer, deleting the digital editions file and .adobe-digital-editions file, redownloading my books, turning my nook off and on, crying, and screaming. The weird thing is, in all the instructions, it says a pop-up box will come up when I delete the files, but it never does. Is that normal? I always have to do it manually by clicking on the gear. I even made sure I "unhid" all the hidden files. I HAVE DONE EACH OF THESE AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND THEY NEVER WORK!!! HELP ME, PLEASE.
    Also, a lot of the websites say to make sure your Barnes and Noble ADE I.D. is the same as the one on your ADE computer I.D.. Is the B&N ADE I.D. different from just the Barnes and Noble ID? Becasue I have been using my sisters email for my computer ADE and my email for the B&N I.D.. Are they supposed to be the same? If so, how come I was able to use it without a problem before?? I tried reauthorizing ADE with my email, because I also have an ADE account with my email, but then it wouldn't let me redownload my books onto the new account. Does this mean I have to change the ADE computer I.D. and wait until my books are available again to read them? Is that the way to fix it? UGH!
    Help is much appreciated.
    P.S. I have ADE version 2.0

    Just to clarify, there are two levels of Authorization -- one for the ADE software and one for the nook. You have to use your Adobe account to authorize both (and they have to be authorized with the same user name). It sounded like your original problem (Kcoline) was with the Nook authorization, and it was the same problem the rest of us were having.
    To get your files back, I suggest carefully reading over the "Activation and Authorization" section of the ADE help. It appears that ADE will automatically find your files but note the "Note" in quoted text below... 
    http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/help/
    "After activation, any books, magazines, or other documents you previously bought with Adobe Acrobat® or Reader® software are migrated to Adobe Digital Editions. This is usually a relatively quick process. Adobe Digital Editions opens each item and reverifies its license to the user. If you don't have DRM-protected items, you don't need to be online during the migration. If you have a large number of items (for example, more than 100), then this process may take a while, but you will see a progress bar indicating the state of the migration as it proceeds.
    Note: Items that you previously borrowed from a public library with Adobe Acrobat® or Reader® software are not migrated to Adobe Digital Editions. You need to return the library item and then borrow the item again with Digital Editions."
    If it's not finding your files, it may be because they're located in a folder different from the one that ADE is trying to use to find them.
    You may also want to check the "Transferring items between computers" section, as this describes where the files should be located, and how to reimport them into your library.
    Good luck!

  • My iphone 3gs is not activating after updating my software with i tunes...what shall i do? cant i go back to my normal version which was ios 4.1

    my iphone 3gs which is not associated with this accunt is not activating after updating the sof tware, it connects to i tunes but i tunes says "we arh your unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or contact customer care". my iphone aslo just says it cannot be activated or something like that every time i try. i have been waiting for 4 hours now but it still hasnt worked. how can i uninstal this update and go back to my old version which ws ios 4.1 or or ios 4,3. i dont even know what version it updated to, im assuming it is ios5 but not sure. it says try connecting to i tunes as well but it is connected and i tunes cant activate it either. my phone is connect to a wifi but it stll says no service.
    i will really appreciate some help.
    thanks.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
