Scheduling automatic close and restart-ignored

10.6.8 mac Mini Core Due.  Basically a server. I want him to stop at 10 pm and wake up at 08:00.

I put in the energy saving; except - this is not.  Yes, he sleeps.  But NOT stop or start.

Advice?

May be a corrupt .plist.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Quit the application.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

  • When we look through the Explorer of windows folders automatically closes and restarts.

    Hello

    a year ago I started having problems with searching through my files because windows Explorer kept crashing whenever I used it to browse my files. It started after I removed some games and other stuffs manually to my computer because they were not on the list of installed programs.

    Since I had this problem, but I've never even bothered to fix, because I don't use my work for school.

    I'm going to College next year and my laptop, it needs to be fully operational ESPECIALY with the navigation and management of my files.

    I was looking through the forum for a while and tried a few suggested corrections.

    Well, I gues now you can say that they did not work.

    In any case, one of the forum administrators suggested to ' sfc/scannow' in the command prompt.

    I did this and found that there are some corrupted files that cannot be repaired.

    I guess the best thing I could do right now is just after the newspaper here and hope someone can help me.

    Seemably, I can't open the CBS.log newspaper... Access denied-I am administrator on my laptop...

    If someone could help me with this so I can post the log here...

    Good reinstall it sure to be a good solution, but it will be a little more work on you because you will have to download and install all your favorite again by Web sites or CD programs, they came.

    But that does not mean it is a bad choice: you will have a fresh new PC that has no persistent problems or stuff it slows down.

    If you want to go this route, you will need to know if your computer is equipped with a factory reset CD disc, or perhaps it was integrated.  Most newer computers have it integrated where you just reboot and press a special key (usually F2 or del but it could be anything) and it will do a factory reset for you.

    Hello

    First, disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer, and then try to start and check what is happening. If the same happens, then you can try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

    I woke up this morning to my system locked up.  It took 3 restarts to get it up and running again when I saw the stage 3 of 3 update itself during the restart.  Everything seems fine except the word.  Launch of word gives me a "Word automatically saved chages in the Normal document template. You want to load it? "Everything that I say, it seems to run very well, but I have no control of the mouse in the document; I have to move using the arrow keys.  The mouse works in the toolbar.  When I try exciting Word, I get the Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and restarts - that load the normal.dot file dialog box and then everything starts all over again.

  • Help the clean installation of Windows 7 Pro and using the GPO to run automatic updates and restart all night

    I am trying to solve a problem that will probably require a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The grace period ends in 3 days, and the next 30 days are final exams at the College. I have 2 licenses (and product key) of Windows 7 Pro, but my drive HARD goes wrong and I don't want to use MAK activation. I will be eventually to replace the disk, but is now bad timing.

    If a reinstall is needed, I was going to ask if anyone knows how to set the strategy of perhaps a GPO where Windows is updated automatically in the background and after installing updates, 45 or 60 minutes, then restart. The goal would be to have a computer fully patched when I wake up in the morning.

    This is my plan:

    Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit > Windows automatically updated and plug the Ethernet cable > define a GPO where the computer waiting for 45 to 60 minutes after installation of updates (so the msi may end in the background, and I do not interrupt the installation) > the PC will restart > more update swill be downloaded and installed > wait due to the policy of GPO before reboot > Reboot > do it until it's over. > wake up with a PC fully patched 7-9 hours later.

    Is this a workable plan?, and if so, how do I define policies such as delay restarting, etc. to achieve?

    The reset did not work. It would be a simple solution. I have a valid license, but I don't want to replace the HARD drive until after final exams are over, so I'll reinstall and activate. I try to achieve in the next 24 hours, so it doesn't keep me from my school work.  I must also support and will then replace my files.

    Feel free to advanced used terminology. I have some experience.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Keep my pinned tabs disappear when I close and restart Firefox, this isn't after a crash. How can I stop this?

    Keep no apparent reason of my pinned tabs disappear from Firefox. This has happened three times now. I have not synchronized to any device. I keep my story and not erase it.

    Hello Silvia,.
    Sorry, you have problems.

    The system to store this information seems to be a bit fragile.

    When trying this please ensure you favorite whatever it is open and close the unnecessary tabs and don't let any ongoing work, initially you can lose more than just pins tabs. Once things go wrong, that several sessionstore files can be created, clear duplicate follow these instructions:

    1. See this for instructions on the profile search. Use the troubleshooting information, while Firefox is open profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
    2. Make sure that everything is backed up or bookmark and close Firefox
    3. Remove all duplicate sessionstore.js files found in the profile. Those with a number or.bak
      As mentioned in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files
    4. Restart Firefox, you may have lost some information i.e. pins or other tabs
    5. In the future when shutting down Firefox always use the menu option, which is from the Firefox button on a Windows machine. Do not kill the process, or close the window of final Firefox using the Windows icon at the top right.
