Selecting Shutdown from Apple menu causes restart AND MBP won't stay asleep

2 possibly related problems. When I select shutdown from the Apple menu, my comp restarts.
When I close the lid, the MBP wakes up every 20 secs or so. It's like living with someone who has had the hiccups for 2 years.
Bluetooth is disable. No usb devices are connected. Wake on network is turned off.
I have tried resetting the PMC, zapping the PRAM, AND deleting com.apple.Autowake.plist and com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

Help with selecting files from script menu or drag and drop

I found this scale images applescript online. It works great when a bunch of files is dragged on top of the script but I would like it to also work when a folder or group of files is selected in the Finder and I activate it from the scripts menu.
I can't get my on run statement to work. I'm not really an Applescript guy so I'm really just asking if someone can help finish what I started in this on run.
-- save in Script Editor as Application
-- drag files to its icon in Finder
property target_width : 120
property save_folder : ""
on run
tell application "Finder"
activate
set folder_path to quoted form of (POSIX path of (the selection as alias))
set theItems to every file of folder_path
end tell
end run
on open some_items
-- do some set up
tell application "Finder"
-- get the target width, the default answer is the property target_width
set new_width to text returned of ¬
(display dialog "Target width:" default answer target_width ¬
buttons {"OK"} default button "OK")
if new_width as integer > 0 then
set target_width to new_width
end if
-- if the save_folder property has not been set,
-- set it to the folder containing the original image
if save_folder is "" then
set save_folder to ¬
(container of file (item 1 of some_items) as string)
end if
-- get the folder to save the scaled images in,
-- default folder is the property save_folder
set temp_folder to ¬
choose folder with prompt ¬
"Save scaled images in:" default location alias save_folder
set save_folder to temp_folder as string
end tell
-- loop through the images, scale them and save them
repeat with this_item in some_items
try
rescaleand_save(thisitem)
end try
end repeat
tell application "Image Events" to quit
end open
on rescaleand_save(thisitem)
tell application "Finder"
set new_item to save_folder & "scaled." & (name of this_item)
end tell
tell application "Image Events"
launch
-- open the image file
set this_image to open this_item
set typ to this_image's file type
copy dimensions of this_image to {current_width, current_height}
scale this_image by factor (target_width / current_width)
save this_image in new_item as typ
end tell
end rescaleandsave

When items are dragged to your script's icon they are passed in to the on open handler, so this triggers:
on open some_items
and the dragged items are passed in as some_items
In contrast, when you double-click on the script, or invoke it via the Script menu, this runs the on run handler:
on run
tell application "Finder"
activate
folder_path to quoted form of (POSIX path of (the selection as alias))
set theItems to every file of folder_path
end tell
end run
However, there's nothing in this block that actually does anything with the selection - you (dangerously) assume that the selection is a folder (you really should check first), and just set theItems to every file in that folder then you exit.
So to do what you want you'll need to edit your run handler to filter the selection and pass files over to the code that does the hard work.
You already have the basis for this - your rescaleandsave() handler, so it's just a matter of identifying the files in the selection and passing those over to that handler:
on run
tell application "Finder"
set cur_selection to (get selection) -- get the selection
repeat with each_item in cur_selection -- iterate through
if class of each_item is folder then -- do we have a folder?
set theFiles to every file of each_item -- if so, get its contents
repeat with each_file in theFiles -- iterate through them
my rescaleand_save(eachfile) -- and process them
end repeat
else if class of each_item is document file then -- do we have a file selected?
my rescaleand_save(eachitem) -- if so, process it
end if
end repeat
end tell
end run
So the idea here is that the run handler gets the selection and works through the (potentially-numerous) items. For each selected item it checks whether its a folder or a file, if its a folder it gets all the files within and passes them to the rescaleandsave handler.
Note that this is not recursive - it won't catch files within folders within folders - since it only looks at the top level of selected folders, but it wouldn't be hard to rework the script to handle that if that's what you need.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds. This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn. I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move them in groups to a folder?

When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move these in groups to a folder or folders?

The easiest way to move bookmarks around is in the Bookmarks Organizer, which at some point was renamed the Library. To open it, you can choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or press Ctrl+Shift+b.
(Please note that the sort order of the Library dialog doesn't actually carry over to the menu. To sort the menu alphabetically, it's easiest to open the Bookmarks Sidebar, right-click the words Bookmarks Menu and choose Sort by Name.)

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

BI PUBLISHER : not able to select 'all' from the menu as parameter

Hi ,
I have created a report using a SQL query . i created a list of values using the following sql query :
select EDM_TRD_HDR.TRD_ID as TRD_ID
from MUREXEDM.EDM_TRD_HDR
and selected this in the menu settings in parameters .
i checked on 'can select all ' option and also on 'NULL Values passed' button.
On clicking view , i am able to see the data for the default valu of the parameter. however, when i select 'all ' from the menu , i am just getting the column headings and no data .
please reply if you are aware of this problem.
Also let me know wether we can create a view selector for a BI publisher report and are there any functionalities which can be implemented in answers and not in the publisher.

You've selected 'null value passed' so you need to write the driving query in your data model in a way that will show all values when the parameter is null:
eg
select *
from
your_table
where
(:p_paramter is null or your_column = :p_parameter)
and ...
(assuming not multi select).
With view selector, you can create conditional regions so could mimic something like that. With regards to features they are completely different products - so almost everything.

How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Accessing System Preferences Pane from Apple Menu

When I access the system preferences panel from the Apple Menu at the top left corner of my laptop computer, not all icons on the syetem preferences window will work correctly. Some say they cannot find the application requested. But when I create a shortcut for the system preferences folder from the applications folder on the bottom right hand corner of my screen, and open the system preferences folder from the shortcut I placed on my desktop, then all the icons on the system preferences folder appear to be working.
This indicates to me that there is some sort of an indexing problem when installing Mavericks on laptop computers, and that Mavericks Operating system is NOT QUITE READY FOR THE USER COMMUNITY. I do hope this probelm is RESOLVED QUICKLY!

You can access System Preferences from Apple menu
When System Preferences is open you can fix its icon on the Dock as follows

You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
Most commonly used backup methods
see here for how to find your disk space
Why is my computer slow?
If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.

So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error.

A wag at this. A port issue?
"Apple Push Notification network setup
When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should
be open."
