Solve TM problem with Automator?

I have my iMac shut down every weekday morning to prevent overheating during the day while I'm at work. It works fine except for 2 problems.
The first is that if FF has more than one tab open, it hangs the shutdown by asking if I want to allow FF to close, waiting for user input. I can turn this feature off in FF, but I'd prefer not to. Can Automator help with this?
The second problem is that when the computer shuts down, the TM external hard drive (Maxtor One Touch 120G) doesn't shut down properly, and when I reboot, TM fails to back up. I have to manually shut off TM, turn off the TM menulet, eject the TM drive, then restart it and turn TM back on. Can Automator turn off TM and eject the drive on a timer so that the shut down doesn't foul up TM? Maybe even restart TM when I start up?
If Automator can't do all this, can Applescript?

Would like to address that somehow. That's why I posted.
As for putting it to sleep instead of shutting down, that's exactly what I don't want to do. It'll go to sleep by itself after an hour, but it won't prevent it from overheating on a hot day, since it will still be running.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

Easier and better ways to solve current problems with Acrobat?

Is there no better and easier way to solve the problems (installation, re-installing and crashing) with Acrobat? I really think that the ball is in Acrobat's corner right now, because I should not (for example) need to deactivate and re-activate my subscription in order to get AcrobatPro XI to work on my computer, let alone deinstalling an older version that (for now) does work, risking that in the end neither of them work. I need the (great) AdobeCloud applications to do my work as a freelancer, and I really cannot afford this kind of trouble with my applications, nore loose time repairing them. These are difficult times as it is.
Regards,
Marc

Sorry, I can't. When I installed it there was no message that said I had to deinstall the old version first, and with other Adobe CC applications there had been no trouble at all, so I installed it with The previous version still on my computer.
After installing, neither of them would start up properly, so I deinstalled version XI, after which the old version worked again, but my Adobe Application Manager does not let me download the XI version a second time, so I cannot try again.
Regards,
Marc

The description of the issue you originally presented isn't something that I've seen happen to Acrobat when installed as a part of Creative Cloud.
Could you provide a specific description of the behavior that occurs when you launch Acrobat XI now?
Thanks,
David

Upgrading to 6.1.1 hasn't solved the problem with network connection on 4S. Still "No Servise"!

Upgrading to 6.1.1 hasn't solved the problem with network connection on 4S. Still "No Servise"!

Same here. Everything was fine running on ios 6.0, I don't know what possessed me to upgrade! I contacted O2 and thet went through the usual settings; reboot; airplane mode etc and it works for a while (like 5 mins) then service is losted with the network. I've even deleted the exchange email account and rebooted as read on the internet that this would fix the problem.... guest what....yep no joy! This is clearly a faulty software update and need fixing pronto! I've read that ios6.1.2 will be out soon to fix the firmware that was suppose to fix the initial network problem. When will this be realeased Apple?! It's hardly fit for purpose when I can't make calls or surf the internet.

How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

Hi
I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
Is there any advice on what I should do.

Hi
What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
> I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS
Bye

Problems with automation open for activex control

Hi,
I want to open an ActiveX Control (.ocx-file) with the Automation Open function. This .ocx file was successfully registered by using regsvr32.
The VI is working fine after using Automation Open and all the contained classes are accessible.
However, after saving the VI and opening it again the error 2147221164 appears and the program failes - referencing the object new at the Automation Open functions solves the problem, but only till the next reopening of the VI.
Hope somebody has a solution for this "instability"...
Sorry for bothering and thanks for any help!!!

Hi smercurio_fc,
originally i had a dll written in c++ which contained classes - i wrapped this in a activex control to have access via labview. Im calling the activex control with the automation open function in same VI in which i am also using property nodes and invoke nodes to have access to the classes and methods...
But as i told before, it happens that Automation Open fails, when starting the VI again after closing(saving), even so it was working perfectly fine before...
Thanks for your response...

[SOLVED] Installation problem with pacstrap

Hi guys, I am a new user of Arch Linux.
I wanted to try this operating system then I decided to install that on my Asus F200MA. Unfortunately, when I try to install ArchLinux, I get an error while downloading the base packages with pacstrap.
My HDD is made by 3 partitions:
/dev/sda1 - 51200 MB: This is the root partition
/dev/sda2 - 411690 MB: This is the home partition
/dev/sda3 - 4096 MB: This is the swap partition
After mounting these partitions, after using the pacstrap command and after the end of the download process, I get a few error messages:
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
I really can't understand the reason of these errors, how can I solve the problem?
For formatting and mounting the partitions I used these commands:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
# mkswap /dev/sda3
# swapon /dev/sda3
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/home
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/home
and then I used this command:
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Photo of the errors: http://i.imgur.com/4BRhlC7.jpg
P.S.: Can you also explain me the reason of the signature's errors?
Thanks for all

When is apple going to solve the problems with the 4S battery???

I bought a new iPhone 4S last week and I have some many problems with the battery the first day, but I thought it must be something normal because of the first time but the few next days it was the same. On Thursday morning I received the iOS 5.0.1 update and I thought it was going to solve the problem but it wasn't!! So I called Apple and they told me I should restore my phone and after that it was supossed to work properly, but it didn't so they told me I should go to an Aple Store and they would change my phone but... it's supossed that all 4S have the same problem so... I would have a new iPhone one week later but with the same problem?? If Apple solve the problem in days, weeks or even months are they going to give us the new (working-properly) phone instead our old one??
Thank you very much!!

FCPX10.1.1 does not solve the problem with long-time clip editing!

OS: clean installed mac os10.9.1
FCPX: FCPX10.1.1
Project: 4clips, all of the clips is about 1 hour long (dvcprohd)
Disk: 900MB/S++
machine specs:
2*3.06Ghz 6-core
24GB DDR3
and I've tried these graphic cards:
K5000
and
2 5770
all get the same results:
If I double press the "L" key, the response of FCPX is too slow
If I do other operation like browse the clip, or import long time clip,
the FCPX will become too slow to browse the timeline.
I've found the FCPX like to generate audio waves of the clip and
there's no option to shutdown this! I've tried all the options in FCPX like
do not show the waveform of audio in preference and close the audio waveform in timeline
I don't think I can work the project with 10.1.x.
the 10.0.9 also has the 1st problem, but don't have the 2nd problem.
Another project: 2000++ 4K 50P clips(XAVC), but on FCPX 10.0.9, all of the clips is less than 40mins, always 20seconds.
though it will get slower when we import clips day after day,
it's much more smoother than 10.1.1!!!!!!
so,
I don't think we should update to 10.1.x for the little promotion of performance.
and 10.1.x also do not support nvidia K5000 card.
the render is slower than ait5700.....
I hope apple can solve the problem,
all of the above is just basic editing needs!
if the fcpx can not do even a long-time clip editing
why should I use it?

2 project:
1. 4*1 hour clips dvcprohd
that's the problem! I can not bear it.
2. 2000++clips 4K XAVC 50P project which I don't run on FCPX 10.1.1
I run it in fcpx10.0.9, it's fine, but slower when I imported more and more clips.
until now I can bear it.
the fcpx10.1.1 editing long-time clip has problem:
1.
it use 150MB/s harddisk speed to generate the waveform.
I have 900MB/s disk speed, so that's not the problem,
but it generate all the time!
1 hour clip's wavefrom generates for 1 hour without stopping, if I stop it , the fcpx crashed!
2.
when I skimming the clip for editing, the fcpx gets slower, always 2mins to response my operation.
3.
when I double press J or L key, the fcpx will need about 1 min to response.
the FCPX10.0.9 editing long-time clip problem:
the fcpx10.0.9 can handle the long-time clips, but also has very slow response when I doulbe press J or L key.

How can I solve the problem with Adobe viewer/player ?

Dear guys in Apple support team
I have a MacBook Pro 13' late 2011, several months ago I updated my mac to mountain lion and I can say its really great operating system and I really enjoy working with it. The only problem I have is that more than twice a day while using my computer for reading a paper in PDF or in online PDF's or sometimes watching flash videos online, cooling fan starts to work faster and when I look up in the activity monitor, more than 60% of the CPU processing is engaged with Adobe player/viewer and I have to kill the process to stop cooling fan and release the cpu process. My adobe products are in the latest update and there should not be any problem about that.
Please help me solve this problem and enjoy more than ever from your creative products.
Thank a lot
Ali

Flash has always been a problem hogging the CPU. Recent versions, however, have been a little better. You might try Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169. I would also recommend the Safari extensions ClickToFlash 2.7.5 and FlashToHTML5 2.4.

Solved flicker problem with newer fglrx drivers

This has been annoying me since the move from 8.29 to 8.30: I have an integrated Xpress 200 on my laptop, and newer proprietary drivers caused the screen to flicker. This has caused me to stick with the older drivers, which restricted upgrades to X.org and the kernel. I was misled by some posts on the Internet to believe that this was the result of using custom modelines.
I have finally solved the problem yesterday. I am posting my findings in case anyone else has been suffering from the same behaviour.
The newer drivers come with an ACPI script, installed under /etc/acpi. The script is invoked every minute and inspects the current power status (i.e., A/C or battery). It then invokes
aticonfig --set-powermode=[MODE]
to adjust the driver to the new settings. Each time this command is executed, it causes the screen to flicker.
Obviously, there is no need to run the script if the power mode has not changed since the last call. I have therefore modified the script to first check the current driver power mode, and execute the mode command only if a new setting is required.
I hope this helps someone.

I need my hand held a bit here...
this seems to be the problem I'm having, ie the ac/battery event being called too frequently, but have no idea how to edit the script. I'm on an asus w3n, will it help to replace apci with asus-laptop and apcid daemon...or just add those and leave acpi daemon?
apologies for my numbnut newbie-ness.
