Shut down bug when other users are logged in

G'day all
I've jut noticed a shut down bug with Leopard. If I try to shut down and another user is active I have to type in a name and password etc. If I do this and click the Shutdown button I get an error message " invalid user name or password - please try again". If I hit "return" it shuts down.
Trivial but a bug none the less.
Cheers
Steve

HI,
Might just be a corruped preference file.
Locate this file.
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • SCCM 2012 powershell only when no user is logged in

    Hi All,
    I think this is probably me, I am trying to run a powershell script which calls an MSI in the Application node, seems to work fine when the user is logged on, but I wanted to run this as, only when no user is logged on, and install for system. It seems to
    start and just exit straight away.
    Command line: that I use: powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file .\Install.ps1 is this correct to run as system?

    I'm also having a very similar issue. In my scenario, I have a PowerShell script that runs an software update tool with different parameters based on the value of a specific registry entry. I was testing the SCCM Application when logged on and just running
    for Software Center and it runs as expected, but when I changed the User Experience from "Run whether or not a user is logged on" to "Only when no users are logged on" and it fails.  In the AppEnforce.log the following lines are present:
    <![LOG[+++ Starting Install enforcement for App DT "Set New Servers - addiman" ApplicationDeliveryType - ScopeId_2E6C34BD-8633-43D8-B5B5-09A1C291D45B/DeploymentType_56ca55b4-ce9b-4dfd-a64f-db3da408013b, Revision - 5, ContentPath

    I've did confirm that the Deployment was not to a User Collection as is implied by the error message and I even went as far as deleting and recreating the Deployment.
    In addition, I have another Application (Java 7 Update 31) that I have set to "Only when no users to login" and it installs as expected. When run from Software Center the Status changes to "Waiting for users to log off" and it is installed
    after I log off.
    Is there some issue with this when trying to run a PowerShell script when logged off?
    Thank you in advance for any insight as to this in consistent behavior.

  • I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV.  Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to stream a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV
    Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

    We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
    We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
    The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
    Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
    Any help will be appreciated

    Mike,
    We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
    1)     
    Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
    2)     
    Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
    3)     
    Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
    4)     
    Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
    Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
    Steps to clean boot machine:
    ================
    Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
    Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup>  Disable all
    Reboot
    Thanks,

    As Larry mentioned I use a different DAM (digital asset management) appliclation, Media Pro 1. For other possible DAM apps visit  The DAM Forum which is for professional photographers.  There the various apps are discussed along with workflows.  If nothing else you'll get some good information on managing digital "negatives".
    Media Pro lets you manage the folder organization of your photos and write metadata, keywords, titles, and other metadata directly back to the files.  No matter what app you go with have a backup plan in place to keep current backups of your source photos on separate hard drives.

  • Cannot access anonymous resources when my user is logged in

    Dear reader,
    I've build an JDBC Realm with Jaas on weblogic 8.1.
    So when I'm logged into the application, I can access to the ressources I've protected
    with that role. But when I'm trying to access ressources (beans, sites) that are
    not protected, the realm stops me saying that I've not the Role anonymous.
    so what did I wrong?
    sincerly

    Not that I am aware of. Data could be lost if someone is in the middle of work and the Mac shuts down without giving the user and opportunity to save the work.
    Why do you want to do this? Why not just leave the Mac on all the time? Are you trying to force your kids off the Mac at a predetermined time?

  • Shutting down problems when connected to modem

    Hi, my Mac (updated to Tiger 10.4.11) does not shut down properly when it’s connected to my D-Link ADSL modem. But it shuts down fine if it’s not connected to the modem.
    These are the symptoms when i try to shut the commuter down when it’s connected to the modem:
    Even though the screen has gone black, the yellow light on the modem is still on,
    and the caps light on the keyboard is still on. The computer sounds like it’s still on instead of complete silence. Then the computer’s fan starts up and stays on unless I swtich off at the mains. When I switch off at the mains, the next time I turn the computer on there’ll be a notice saying it was restarted after Mac OSX quit unexpectedly!
    I used to get around this problem by unplugging the modem before the blue screen came up during the shutting down process, and the computer would shut down fine. But recently this no longer works and the Mac appears to crash and a notice comes up saying I need to hold down the power button to restart the computer.
    Occasionally the computer will shut down completely with no lights on the modem, weird noise or fan going, but this is rare.
    I know it’s not neccasary to shut down the computer, but I like to switch off all electricals at the mains at night before going to bed. Any help would be appreciated as I’m worryed I may be messing up the computer long term.

    I would look in one of the log files to see if there is some error message. The consol log contains mostly start-ups type messages, but some applications write to it nevertheless. The system.log contains messages from applications and other messages written after startup.
    Next, I would check to see if there was some disk corruption. See bdaqua's post.
    Console
    You can use the console application to examine Mac OS log files. The logs will contain information on various system processes.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Console
    File > open console log
    this will display the startup messages
    and
    file > open system log
    once the system is started, messages will go into the system log

  • My mail application was working fine, I shut down and when I restarted it is asking me to set it up again. I dont want to loose any information on my mail and I had a lot of accounts on it. . what can I do?

    My mail application was working fine, I shut down and when I restarted it is asking me to set it up again. I dont want to loose any information on my mail and I had a lot of accounts on it. . what can I do?

    I found all my files from my old account in the users folder but when I logged out there was no option to sign in on the old account, I'm guessing ill just have to start from scratch, which is fine as long as my old files aren't lost :) thanks for the help.
    I'll explore more once I get my screen fixed and there might be a way to recover my old account :)

  • IPod not recognized by iTunes-message about other users being logged in

    Recently, whenever I connect my Ipod to the USB device to update my library, I often get an error message stating there are other users using itunes on my computer already, so itunes cannot recognize the ipod. Then it says to ask other users to log out, and then try again.
    No other people but me ever use itunes on my computer and no one else is logged in but me (and I'm the only person who has an iPod account in my family). I try all different things, like logging everyone else's accounst on the computer off, restarting itunes, reconnecting the USB, etc- but nothing works. The message won't appear after this again (unless I've restarted itunes), but a window pops up about my ipod with all different files, like "calendar."
    Can anyone tell me why this happens, and how to connect my ipod when it does?

    I am hoping your Oracle Consultant know what he's talking about.
    According to Oracle Performance Guide,
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/memory.htm#sthref654
    "On most systems, sizing the log buffer larger than 1M does not provide any performance benefit. Increasing the log buffer size does not have any negative implications on performance or recoverability. It merely uses extra memory.
    The best method to determine if bigger redo buffer is needed is
    SELECT NAME, VALUE
    FROM V$SYSSTAT
    WHERE NAME = 'redo buffer allocation retries';
    The value of redo buffer allocation retries should be near zero over an interval. If this value increments consistently, then processes have had to wait for space in the redo log buffer. The wait can be caused by the log buffer being too small or by checkpointing. Increase the size of the redo log buffer, if necessary, by changing the value of the initialization parameter LOG_BUFFER. The value of this parameter is expressed in bytes. Alternatively, improve the checkpointing or archiving process.
    Other than that, hight log file sync event indicate you need faster disk for your redo logfiles. However, please also post your commits per second and redo per second from your AWR report.
    100M redo logs might be small for your environment.

  • A program to trace when a user is logged in/out the system

    Hi,
    How would I write an ABAP to determine when the user is logged into a SAP system, what transaction code has been launched by the user, and when the user exits or changes a transaction code?
    Or is there a FM that provides this information?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can find some information in STAT and STAD transactions. But these information will be only available for programs with atleast some screens
    either a report list screen or a selection screen or a module dialog.
    There are also quite a no of BAPIS related to User logons.

  • My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

    hello there,
    my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
    My battery details are
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 276
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 376
    Voltage (mV): 12249
    I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

    Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
    If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.

  • MacBook shuts down unexpectedly when the MagSafe is touched or removed

    Hi, I got my new MacBook during November of 2009 but two weeks ago it started shutting down by itself once I touch the magsafe of the macbook or remove the magsafe. All it needs is a simple touch and it shuts down. When it does shut down, the light indicator doesn't come on anymore. I have to keep removing the magsafe, and plugging it back in like 20 times until it starts charging again. So now I just let it fully charge every time I use it since any sudden movement will cause it to shut down. I will be making an appointment next week at the apple store because I had no time to go these past 2 weeks. I never dropped it and take good care of it. I am just wondering what might be the cause of this? I hope they do not take weeks to fix the mac since I have a lot of homework to do... Thanks!

    Anything is possible, but a firmware issue is not very probable.
    Did Apple troubleshoot and repair your Mac? It's not the iBook as listed in your profile is it?
    If Apple recently did the repairs and the problem persist then you should contact them, as they are obligated to fix it.
    Did they for sure rule out the Magsafe adapter?
    Which board did they replace? The logic board or just the DC board? Or both?
