Sharing preferences turned off after logging off

My sharing preferences are being turned off without a reason. I set up my computer to share files ("File sharing" checked) and after I log off, the File sharing is unchecked and I can no longer access my computer remotely. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do a backup.
Quit the application System Preferences.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

Screen turns black after log in

Hi,
My screen on my desktop turns black after logging in. I can still see the cursor. I hit ctrl alt delete, went to task manager typed in rstrui to do a system restore. I went back a few months of restore but it did not work.
The strange thing is sometimes I wait about 30-45 min the black screen goes away. But then restarting, I have to go through the same thing again.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated.

Firefox will not open after logging off. Will only work if I reboot computer.

Firefox always opens after booting up my computer in the morning. However, if I log off of Firefox and attempt to open it again it will not open without rebooting the computer first.

Use the [[profiles|Profile Manager]] to create a new profile. If the problem goes away, you can then [[Recovering important data from an old profile|move]] your bookmarks and other important settings into the new profile.

User profile images not persisting after log off on Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts

Hi,
We have a 2012 R2 remote desktop deployment, with two session collections, a gateway server, and connection broker.
We have set these session collections to use centralised user profile disks.
What I am having an issue with, is that when a user sets their profile image through the server they have logged on to (I have the desktop experience pack installed so they are able to do this), they can see the user tile has been set with that image in
settings and also on the start menu, but as soon as they log off the server and back on, their profile image has been reset to the default blank image.
I have checked all of my group policy options, and cannot find any settings that could be impacting this.
Does anyone have any ideas why these images are not persisting for users or admins?
Thanks, Eds

Please check that the user is not getting a temporary profile each time he logs in. Also, make sure that the RDP client is properly configured to display the Wallpaper: http://www.webapper.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/18/enabling-desktop-wallpaper-on-remote-desktop-terminal-services/

How to sync PC with iCloud after logging off?

OK - I made the horrendous mistake of logging off the iCloud a couple of days ago. I was left with some of my contacts from the iCloud - not all. My groups were there, but no "all inclusive" iCloud Contacts. Also my iCloud calendar was gone. I still had my iPhone and iPad connected to the iCloud - no changes there.
When I went to log back on to the iCloud on my laptop, at first it started to copy my contacts - which were not complete (because of the ones in groups). I cancelled the process.
I spent almost 2 hours last night at the Apple Store Genious Bar. They really didn't know what to do as my laptop is Windows 7 - they only knew how to do things if everything was Apple. The first guy had me delete the iCloud contact folders on my laptop. Then he had me wipe my iPhone clean (why I don't know, as it had stayed with the iCloud the entire time, as did my iPad). Then he sync'd the iCloud to my iPhone, then copied to iTunes. I now have a mess on my iPhone as all the "personalized" touches I've done over the past year are gone.
Another employee came up and tried unsuccessfully to do anything. A third one came up and logged into the iCloud on my laptop (through Firefox) and made a copy of the entire Contacts. He then went into Outlook and tried to import them, but came up with a Windows error (no error number) saying it couldn't be done.
By then my laptop battery was very low, so I went home. I still everything all the way I had it before on my iPad - Yeah!
Today I did a System Restore to my laptop - all my iCloud contacts are back the way they were before I messed with things. Yeah! However, the calendar isn't back. I went into Firefox to log on to the iCloud.com - id that - everything ok there, but how do I make it sync with Outlook in my laptop? I did make a change to one of my contacts in the iCloud contacts in Outlook and clicked on the iCloud Refresh in Outlook (along the top ribbon) but this change did not show up on my iPhone or iPad.
What am I missing? How do I put the iCloud back on my laptop? I really would appreciate any help you could give me - the Annapolis Apple store - they just really don't know how to do things on a Windows laptop.
Please - help? I would SO appreciate it!
ElizaJane

Please - anyone have any ideas? I click on the iCloud Refresh button in Outlook and a time or two I saw a message saying incorrect password. This Refresh button is an Outlook Add In. Anyone know how to delete it and put the correct iCloud add-in on it? I'm SO frustrated - I really don't have any clue what to do.

Placing clients in untrusted after log off of AS SSO

I have a L3 OOB NAC deployment with AD SSO. Users are mapped to different roles depending on OU membership and then to different VLANs. What happens is that if a user with a certain role logs on to a client and is palced in his VLAN, say VLAN10, and then logs off the PC, the PC stays in VLAN10.
Another user from a different role now comes along and logs onto that same PC stays in that same VLAN, but really needs to move to another VLAN because he/she has a different role.
If the system is rebooted then everything works fine as the SNMP linkdown trap is sent to the NAM.
How can I cause the clients using AD SSO change the role of the port to unauthenticated when they log off the system? I know that this can work with in-band but i don't know if it can be done with OOB.

Sachin,
OOB Logoff feature is coming in 4.8, due out in late summer. Currently what you're looking to do can't be done.
HTH,

ITunes preferences not saved after logging out.

iTunes preferences not saved when logging out. Using iTunes11.0.4.4 Preferences are not saved when logging back in. Is this a bug or is there a file or registry key I need to fix?
Thanks

Hello JK,
If you used Mac's automatic Software Update... to get to 10.5.1, try this:
• Repair permissions.
• Download and install the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
• Repair permissions again after the restart that completes the install.
• Test to see if problem is still there.
If problem exists, try suggestions relevant to your system from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.

After logging off I get the message Firefox is still running please disconnect or turn off your computer

When I logg off firefox I cannot logg on until waiting for a couple of minutes.
this is the message I receive....Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
I have noticed this problem with other computers being used by other people. Also I cannot open several windows at a time, I always loose rhe original window or web site.

If you try to immediately open Firefox after closing it, you may get this message. I does take a few seconds to completely close.
Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

IPod touch Generation 3 keeps turning off after taken off of the charger. How can I fix this?

My iPod touch will not stay on after I take it off the charger. When its on the charger it says it is completely charged. I can do everything on my iPod when its on the charger but as soon as I take it off the charger it turns off. When I try to turn it back on all it shows is the apple for a while and then it turns back off. How do I fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be a bad battery

Laserjet printer automatically turns on after shut off

Hello! After I turn off my printer, it automatically turns on again after a few minutes and I'm not sure why. Please help thanks.

Hi , I understand that after turning the printer off, it automatically turns on again. I will certainly do my best to help you. I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. I would update the printer's firmware if the issue persists. HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw Color Printer Firmware Update Utility. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.
