Sleep timer/idle shutoff, stop playback automatically when playlist is done

since this question's been asked and I was wondering if a new firmware released in the meantime added a sleep timer feature? Or as a workaround has an idle shutoff that will activate 30 mins or so after the last playlist is done playing? Cause on my friend's iPod (her first Apple ever) after all playlists are done the device starts playback from the beginning so if you listen to some audiobook at bedtime and slumber off the Shuffle will continue playback all night.

No.

It would be a worthwhile feature, especially on the 3rd gen shuffle since it has
an internal clock...

Sleep timer/Idle timer?!?

Is there a place where I can set the amount of time I want the shuffle to stay on? I like to put in the earbuds and go to bed, but using a full charge every night and a full recharge every day seems bad for it.
So, where can you set the sleep timer?
Or, where is the setting where if I don't touch a button in X hours, it auto shuts off?

Sorry, NO sleeptimer or idle shut off.

Battery life: Does MacBook pro's battery stop charging automatically when it's fully charged?

I know that it is not good to leave batteries on charge after it's being fully charged becasue it reduces it's life span (the chemical reaction stuffs up...)
Anyway, I heard that some people were saying that it is ok to leave the Mac plugged in even after it's being fully charged, because the battery stops consuming power from the adapter automatically. Is this true?
Another question. How ofter you do guys charge your MBP? I have to charge mine once every day pretty much. It's a reletively new computer (i bought it on april). But now it looks like it's not even lasting 5 hours sometimes. I think I asked this before as well. But I'm still stressing about this.

ALL Li-ion batteries stop charging when they are full. They have an internal micro-controller to enforce this.
I run my MBP down to about 20% charge left and then recharge on a daily basis. The run time depends on what you are doing. Heavy usage will reduce the run time. Flash web sites, playing movies, maximum screen intensity, bluetooth on are all examples of things that will reduce run time.
Think of a battery like a bucket of water. If you let the water trickle out it will take a long time to empty the bucket. If you turn the bucket upside down it will be empty in a few seconds.
In other words a battery holds a fixed amount of energy. The rate at which you discharge it will determine the run time. As the battery ages the amount of energy that it can hold will go down. The battery will age whether or not you use it. Regular usage will give the longest overall life for the battery.

Want LR3 to stop opening automatically when it detects a card reader, and have LR4 open instead.

I am not having any luck in getting this to happen. I have checked the box "show import dialog box when a memory card is detected"in LR4, and unchecked the box in LR3, but it is not working. What can I do? On day two of using LR4, I accidentally upgraded my photos to LR3.

If you are using Windows, the OS auto-play settings can override Lightroom's settings. Check the auto-play settings for your device and verify they are not set to use LR3.

Why does SHDB stop the recording when "Save" is done in VA01 ?

Hi,
Here is my problem:
- When I run VA01 manually and save my sales order, the transaction does not exit: I can see the sales order number in the status bar and continue to work in the same screen.
- When I do the same with transaction SHDB (transaction recorder), VA01 exits just after Save and the recording stops.
I tried to play with the different options of SHDB but nothing worked so far.
Does anyone have an explanation, or better, a solution ?
Thanks in advance !

Normally, you run your recording in a loop, so you want to exit the transaction when an order is saved so that you can go on with the next one.

Policy Agent doesn't reset Sun Access Manager session time idle value

Hi,
We have the following setup in our environment:
- apache web server/web and policy agent 2.2 for apache 2.0.54
- webmethods portal server (jetty)
-Sun Access Manager (with Sun Directory Server)
We use policy agent for authentication purpose only (via Sun Access Manager/LDAP) when the users access the portal. We have custom code that creates session in Sun Access Manager for custom LDAP services. For testing purpose, we configure SAM session to have Max Session Timeout at 120mins and Time Idle at 15mins. I would assume that, after the initial login request, for all subsequent accesses to the portal the policy agent should intercept the request and reset the Time Idle value of SAM session. However, when I monitor time idle value using SAM console, session tab, the time idle value didn't change when the portal user access pages, submit actions, etc. I can see in the debug log of policy agent that requests are being intercepted/processed, but the time idle didn't get reset.
Does anyone know if this is a bug in configuration or in policy agent itself or am I making the wrong assumption?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks for the reply, Shivaram. The issue appears to occur at random time, not accurately at the 3 min interval as you mention. I tested changing this value to 1, theoretically, after one 1 minute of idle time, accessing a link would make the agent reset the time idle value for the user session in SAM, but it didn't even after 3 minutes. This seems to be either a policy agent or system access manager bug.
We performed a 'vanilla' test using the apache server manual pages (only plain HTML, no POST requests), the pages are protected by the policy agent. At the first login, rwe were prompted to enter credential to be validated by SAM/LDAP, and then a user session is created in SAM session table. We browse around the manual pages, once in a while, certain pages cause the policy agent to reset the time idle. However, revisiting these links after a few minutes doesn't reset the idle value. Caching setting has been disable as well. Could there be or lack of some settings in AMConfig.properties or AMAgent.properties that might have caused this behavior?
Thanks for all your help,

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?
Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
Have you tried running Repair Permissions?
Do you have at least 15% free space available on your HD?

How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I startup my computer?

A while ago I setup Windows so Outlook and Firefox opened automatically when I log on. Now I want to stop FF from opening automatically. I have gone into the Startup folder and removed the shortcut to FF several times but it keeps coming back. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in the Windows Programs Directory to xxMozilla Firefox and that didn't keep it from loading. If necessary, I will remove FF from my computer altogether but I would rather not do that.

Aaarg! I tried Matt's suggestion of using msconfig, restarted my computer, and it seemed to solve the problem. Today when I turned on the computer it hung up before loading Windows. I had to use the F12 button to get it to load. I did and it did and Firefox did not load.
Now, this evening, I turned on the computer, the startup procedure was normal, and there's Firefox fired up and ready to go!

Where did the sleep timer go in IOS 5? It's been changed to "stop playing"

When previously using the sleep timer, I would set a time and then choose for the device to "sleep" at the end of the time. Now the choice has been changed to "Stop Playing." This is a huge problem because it does not sleep the device; it only stops the music from playing. Because the music app continues to run, battery life is profoundly shortened. I verified this at the Genius Bar when I noticed my battery life dropped from several hours per charge to about 1.5 hours. Can a sleep timer be used in some other manner now?

What was the answer when you asked at the Genius Bar?

Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings. Anyone else have this happen?

Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings. Anyone else have this happen?

This is happening to me too. Couldn't figure out what was happening at first then I got a phone call and the ring came through the appletv. Playback was stopping when I would open a game or something else as well.
I'm on a 5s with ios 8 and have an appletv 3rd Gen(it is updated too). II often airplay movies from my NAS through my iPad min and that stops when something happens on my phone even though airplay on my phone is off.

Sleep timer longer has the option to shut off "when current episode ends". How can I fix this?

is anyone else having an issue with their sleep timer?

Hey there Smargaretbaker,
It sounds like you are not seeing the Sleep Timer setting in the lower right corner of your currently playing Podcast screen, as illustrated here:
Podcasts app for iOS: Playback controls
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5295
When you tap any podcast episode, you will see playback controls that look like this:
I would start by quitting all the running apps on the iPhone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the device and test the Podcasts app again:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto. I have quicktime X, and it still works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.
