Turing app off at a particular time

Hi there, I am new to automator so I don't know if this is possible but I'd like to be able to launch and quit a third party internet app at specific times of the day. Can this be done in Automator and if so, how?
Many thanks

You can use iCal to start the app at different times of the day by simply setting the alarm to open the application.
You can also use iCal to quit the application if you create an AppleScript or an Automator workflow to quit the app. You would then set the alarm to run the script or workflow.
The Automator workflow can be as simple as:
1. Automator's "Run AppleScript" with just one line telling the application to quit:
<pre>
tell application "iTunes" to quit
</pre>
When you first add the AppleScript action, you'll notice it already has some code in it. Just delete everything inside and then put this one line in it. Oh, and make sure to put the actual name of the application in the quotes instead of "iTunes" if that's not the app you want to quit.
And that's it. Save it as an iCal plug-in and you then you can easily select it for the alarm you set in iCal. From the File menu, choose "Save As Plug-in...", give it a name, and then make sure "Plug-in for:" is set to "iCal Alarm".

HT201299 Is there an App which switches on Cellular data at a Particular time of day and switches off as well? if not someone should make an app

Is there an App which switches on Cellular data at a Particular time of day and switches off as well? if not someone should make an app for that

No, there are no apps that can do that, as no app would have access to the necessary API's to perform such a task.

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.

How to I get my apps off iphone/ipad and into itunes without syncing?

I had my computer crash and recently restored it. I transferred my music back in via a hard drive and now that I am about to resync my phone, I either have to erase the phone with what is in iTunes, or erase what is in itunes with the phone. I have different info in both, so can I pull my contact info and apps off the phone into itunes so when itunes erases the phone, everything is back on?
Or, do I have to erase itunes with phone info and then just reload music from hard drive?
During the crash, I bought an ipad and synced it to a different computer so will need to sync it to this one instead and I have a few apps/podcasts/movies on it as well so don’t want to erase them and may have to do the same thing.
Thanks!

All apps on your iPhone and iPad should be in your iTunes library on your computer, which should be included with your computer's backup per the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
With Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for each device's sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with either device, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync the device with iTunes after doing so.
If the apps on each device are different, with your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Repeat this for your iPad - Transfer Purchaes From - the name of your iPad.
Then you will need to select Sync Apps under the Apps tab making sure all apps on the connected device are selected below. This will not prevent the device from being erased of all iTunes content with the first sync.
If all apps on either device were in your iTunes library and your iTunes library was backed up per the instructions included with the link provided and restored from said backup, no iTunes content on either device would be erased with the first sync with iTunes.

Can't download any apps off my phone, Tablet dos not connect to phone

Someone please help me, cause I am honestly about to loose my mind. I have a Torch and I've only had it for a year now and all my services arent working, I'm considering switching to an IPhone if I can't figure this all out today.
So first problem I'm trying to buy one single app off app world billing threw Roger's Canada and it keeps saying there was some error, I looked it up on the website and apperently you just have to switch to debit or paypal, I don't like using online payment methods like that why can't I just get it on my bill? Either way they get the money, I don't see how its so difficult to just bill threw my service provider. I also have no time to call them and tell them all I want to order, I just want ONE $1.99 app, I'm not going to sit on the phone for 20 minutes+ for one app, then have to do it again when I want another app. I have been trying to buy the same one app for about 2 months now, seriously I just want to buy the app and get it over with how is that so hard? I want to bill threw my Service Provider it takes two seconds to put it on my bill.
Next problem, the blackberry bridge on my phone/tablet has just stopped working and disappeared. I paid $500 for this tablet that I was advised not to buy because Blackberry was "going down the whole" so much for having faith in the company, this thing is a peice of junk. And apperently so is my phone, again how is it all the sudden my bridge disappeared? I can't connect my phone to it now? So why didn't I just get a cheaper tablet that could do the exact same things??? I don't know if these are new problems in the system or something but I have been trying to hook up my phone to this tablet for a while it used to work then I upgraded the software and now its gone and I've tried everything its just not coming back. Like I don't understand, why would you not put the Blackberry Bridge in the updated version? And why is it deleted off my phone? Then when I try to re-install it, it says its still there.
Very disappionted in Blackberry right now, nothing on my phone is working and it seems I'm not the only one.

Well, I can't tell...has it been working fine for a year, and this suddenly started? If so, what happened just before this behavior started? Undo that to see if it helps. If it's not been working at all for a year, well...I'm not sure how to reply to that...you must have great patience indeed, though.

Oh how I do wish you'd have given us the actual error message...otherwise, you leave us guessing...but, in short, each carrier decides if they will allow carrier billing or not. It's their choice to do so, or not. I've no idea if Rogers allows it or not.
Also, if you are part of a BES environment, it's possible your BES admins have restricted carrier billing...they, too, have the right to do whatever they must to enforce company policies. But, again, without details, this remains just another guess.

I completely disagree with your opinions there...but no matter, they are indeed opinions. There are plenty of people who are getting quite a bit of good use out of both types of devices.

Well, once again, the lack of details makes it pretty difficult to diagnose. "I can't connect" is pretty useless as far as symptom descriptions go. For instance, what exact steps do you attempt? What exactly happens with each step? Any error messages? If so, once again, the complete and accurate error message is critical to helping you.

It's a free market place, you are free to do whatever you desire. But, ranting here isn't perhaps the best way to seek help from kind volunteers... Plus, you've spent quite a bit of effort on your rants, but have left out the details that perhaps might have more quickly guided us to useful help for you...

Again, "tried everything" isn't terribly useful to us...we aren't clairvoyant... Have you tried completely removing the pairing of the two devices and re-configuring them from scratch? Also, what software did you upgrade? Your BB OS? Your PB? From what version(s) to what version(s)? Did you re-install the Bridge from scratch?

samm1234 wrote:

Updated version of what? BB Bridge is an add-on app, not used by everyone. As such, including it inside the core apps would be a waste of AppMemory for those who do not need it.
samm1234 wrote:

Well, you did some kind of upgrade or update, but since we don't know yet exactly what that was, we can only guess. And my guess is that you somehow updated your BB OS, and as such, you need to re-install all of your add-on apps. It is ALWAYS better to reinstall add-on apps when you upgrade the OS...some may not be compatible with the new OS you have installed. Some may have a different version for the OS you installed. Plus, reinstalling add-ons is always better so as to be sure that they are properly installed after such a major update of the BB OS.

That's interesting...but, again, the exact message it presents is always more helpful. Check here, though:
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
Anyway, lots of clarification is needed from you if we're to do anything but WAG.
Good luck and let us know!

Help I can only have max. 3 osx apps. open at the same time ?

Help I can only have max. 3 apps. open at the same time ?
If I have 3 apps. open, and try to open a 4th. this message comes up :
The application "Mail" cannot be launched. -10810
Of cause if I'm trying to open up something else than mail, lets say iPhoto, it will say "iPhoto".
This is very weird to me, and I'm normally pretty good at solving issues myself, but I'm stuck with this one.
Please help out

I've had this quite a lot too. Do you find that under these conditions you can't load a disk image either?
At first I put this down to Rosetta taking up a lot of resources. I was running OmniWeb with a lot of pages open in the workspaces so I've switched back to Safari until OmniWeb is UB. This morning I read that having Windows file sharing switched on helps to cause this problem. I switched this off, rebooted and ran disk utility to repair disk permissions and I've been running OK since then. I've currently got 13 apps open plus Finder and Widgets. They include 2 bigguns, Eclipse/MyEclipse and Visual Paradigm for UML. It'll probably stop working now I've written that.
I run a MBP 17 with 2GB memory. My guess is that Windows file sharing does cause problems. I just hope Apple has resolved this in 10.4.7... whenever that is.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this. I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether. I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed. For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

Hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch. i have bought apps off itunes and whenever i connect my ipod to my computer it syas that it is syncing.but the appa will not show on my ipo even though it has synced.how can i resolve this?

hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have the same problem. Yahoo Sportacular aborts every time I try to open it. It attempts to load and then the device goes right back to the home screen. The problem started April 26 after I switched leagues from NHL to NBA. Closing all apps and Restarting doesn't solve solve the problem.
All other apps on the iPad work fine. IPad2, OS6.
Any other suggestions? I suppose I could delete the app from the iPad and try re-installing it

If you are doing a reload every time then you can issue following commands to clear data from cube.
lmt name to all
allstat
clear all from <cubename>prttopvar
You can wrap above commands in pl sql procedure using dbms_aw.execute package and execute it before cube load starts. Instead of clearing it from whole cube you can clear only from one partition also. Just take a look at clear command in olap DML 10.2 reference.
