SMC update always show up when starting the computer...

hi after the SMC update, every time when I restart my computer that SMC window always show up telling me that I'm at the 1.1 version. Is this normal? how do I turn it off? cause it is slowing down my computer when it's starting up.
thanks!

Although deleting it will probably solve the problem, I didn't have to when I ran the SMC update. It's still there and it doesn't pop up at every startup.
I just took a look at the script in the SMC firmware update installer that gets run after the install completes, and it looks like it just adds the updater application as a login item. Have you tried manually removing it from your login items?
Click on the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and choose System Preferences. Click on Accounts in the lower-left area of that window. Click on the Login Items "tab" at the top of the window and see if the firmware update is in the list. If it is, you can remove it by clicking on it and clicking the little minus sign button.

Simple way to make HDD free space is delete files you don't need anymore.
Or get bigger drive and external HDD case, then:
1) install bigger HDD in external drive case.
2) connect external drive and format and mount it with Disk Utility.
3) make clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!(source drive is internal HDD, target drive is external one).
4) install external bigger drive into your Macbook Pro.
In the cace if your're using Mac Pro:
1) get bigger HDD and install it in drive bay of Mac Pro.
2) format and mount it with Disk Utility.
3) make clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!(source drive is old HDD, target drive is new one).
4) Select boot drive to new bigger one.

Installed 10.4.8 updater, now I can't start the computer

I just ran the 10.4.8 updater through the auto software updater control panel. After the install/restart I shut down for the night. When I came back later to restart I got as far as the loading screen and it just stalled with the multicolor spinning wheel. I let it go for at least 5 mintues but nothing happened. So I restarted again then got a an empty black box in the middle of the screen. I don't seem to be able to get a successful startup now. How can I get out of this? Can I somehow get back to 10.4.7? I would really prefer to not have to reinstall all the software leading up to 10.4.7...
I am using a G4 1Ghz 17" Laptop.

You can select the main folder that contains all the other data folders then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In Ownership and Permissions section set the desired privileges then click on the "Apply to enclosed items" button. This will change all the files and folders within the main folder to the desired privileges.
You can avoid problems like these in the future by practicing some basic housekeeping.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - not universal binary.)
6. LaCie SilverKeeper (Freeware - not universal binary)
7. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX EACH TIME WHEN STARTING THE COMPUTER. WHEN I CLICK ON THE DESK ICON NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT ALSO DISAPPEARS FROM THE TASKBAR

the firefox icon disappears from the taskbar when the computer is switched off and clicking desktop icon does not help so every time I have to download firefox again through Explorer. I know that the program is stored somewhere on my computer but it's not clickable and requires new downloading.

I you see javascript: then that means that there is an onclick event attached to the link, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if such a link isn't working.

Satellite L100-130: Sound every time when start the computer

I have got a Toshiba Satellite L100-130 (my first notebook and my first experience with Windows XP). When I start my computer I hear the Microsoft Windows XP Sound, but after that I have to manually adjust the sound volume, because it is set at 0 every time I started up my notebook.
I wanted to know if this is normal with Windows XP/notebooks or there is something wrong with... anything...

Hi
As far as I know the L100 has no volume switch at the notebook side. Am I right?
Therefore the software application is responsible for the volume control.
Like Jeffrey has written in the post above you should check the sound volume controls in the sound and audio devices.
There you will find many controls. Check if all are set to the higher level.
But if it doesnt change the sound volume settings so I assume its a default setting and you have to increases the sound volume if you start the Media Player.

VS 2013 Prof. edition always shows "Could not complete the action"

Hi all,
When I open any .ascx file VS2013 always shows alert, and when I close, it shows it again.
Could you help please?
Thanks.

Hi Galym,
>>VS 2013 Prof. edition always shows "Could not complete the action"
According to your description, could you please tell if you get this issue when you open any .ascx files in a specific app or all web apps have the same issue?
So if possible, I suggest you can create a simple web project in VS2012 Prof and add a .ascx files under the web project and open it again check if you get same issue.
(1) If you get same issue in a sample web project, I suggest you can try the following suggestion to check this issue.
Step1: I suggest you can try to open these .ascx files in VS safe mode check if you install some Add-ins or extension tools in your VS2013 IDE.
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
Step2: I suggest you can try to reset your VS setting file by going to Tools->Import and Export Settings check this issue again.
Step3: If the above suggestions still could not work, maybe you will need to repair or re-install the VS2013 Prof check this issue again.
(2) If you just get this error in a specific app, I suggest you delete these .ascx files and then add new .ascx files for the specific app. Or you can directly to ask this issue to the web forum:
http://forums.asp.net where asp.net experts live in.
If you have any update messages about your issue, please free for me.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

When starting the Add-on: Connection timed out issue

When starting the Add-on: Connection timed out issue
Hi,
We have a client in SAP 2005 PL 44.
I built the add-on for them using simple installer wizard ( I tried advanced set-up also).
When starting the add-on, I get the message 'Connection Timed Out'.
Add-on status is failed.
But the add-on is actually connected. i.e, The functionality associated with the add-on is working fine.
I had SAP 2007 before and un/reinstalled SAP 2005 in order to connect with this client.
I had built the same add-on in a similar way for the same client for lot many times in the past, but I never got this issue.
I tried the following:
1) Delete SM_OBS_DLL and un/reinstall DI API
2) un/reinstall B1DE
Always I'm getting this error.
Please let me know your inputs.
Thanks.
Geetha

Hi Geetha,
The timeout issue has been discussed quite a bit already on this forum. Please do a search or look at these threads:

'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'

Hello Experts,
I am trying to pull master data (Full upload) for a attribute. I am getting an error on BW side i.e. 'The error occurred in Service API .'
So I checked in Source system and found that the an IDOC processing failure has occurred. The failure shows 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'.
But when I check the extractor through RSA3, it looks fine.
Can someone inform what might be the reason of the failure for IDOC processing and how can this be avoided in future. Because the same problem kept occurring later as well.
Thanks
Regards,
KP
