Something trying to close my MacBook during periods of inactivity. Is - this VMWare linked?

HI - sorry for the thread title wave and the "pix on the side", but I'm having a problem with my VMWare Virtual Windows Machine on my MacBook Pro with Os X (10.10.2):

I use my Virtual Machine to run a Windows "Poker Clock. Essentially this countsdown asks the minutes as the poker tournament runs. The tournament can last over 6 hours ago there is no user activity. All screensavers are disabled.

During execution of my Virtual Machine from Windows (using VMWare Fusion 7) 8.1 and the aforementioned Poker clock, I get the following message appears on the first 30 minutes. Apparetnly something trying to stop my MacBook while the software is running. I can't find which program is loaded and I was wondering is there something inherent in VMWare who wants to shut down my computer after a long period of inactivity:

I first thought that it had to do with settings of power/energy on the side Mac, or perhaps on the side of Windows, but as you can see on these pictures below, I think that I have disabled all the parameters that would be would like to shut down my computer while "no operator" and yet the previous pop up keeps appearing. It becomes a real hassel and I can't seem to find out how to stop it from appearing.  Moreover, there is no other applications running or updates pending that would re - start my MacBook.

I hope someone can help me with this!

Thank you.

It seems that your Mac is set to save accounts after 30 minutes of inactivity. Who would try to stop the VMware Fusion as part of disconnection and generates messages that you see.

You can check this by opening the security & privacy preference pane in system preferences. On the general tab, log in as administrator by clicking on the padlock at the bottom of the Panel, and then click Advanced at the bottom of the Panel.

See if the checkbox next to "Log out after xxx minutes of inactivity" is checked. If this is the case, you can uncheck to stop the automatic disconnection. Or you can change it to a longer value (but if you don't have a good idea of how long the game disable the auto disconnect may be the best choice).

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: a new profile

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Something tries to trick firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider to ask for help.

    The warning came after connecting to the internet.
    Something tries to trick firefox by accepting a nonsecure update. Please contact your network provider to ask for help.

    This problem may be caused by the presence of remains files in the program folder Firefox (defaults\pref) as a file firefox.js which replaces the URL of update with a wrong link.

    Do a clean reinstall and do not forget to remove the Firefox program folder to delete files that are the problem.

    I get a Firefox error message that says, "something tries to trick Firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider and ask for help. "Do you know what is happening here - what could be the problem? (I have the latest version of Firefox already installed. I previously got Firefox error messages indicating "Firefox update failed". However, I already have the latest version of Firefox installed when I got these error messages.)

    I think that we must hope that the problem will be resolved at the present time. If you see the error message again post in this thread. Also, it would be unusual get this message while trying not to update, but if you get if you try to copy and paste the details of console error that they can be useful.

    Use

    • keyboard Ctrl + Shif + J
    • or button-> Web Developer Firefox-> Console errors

    This kind of message is apparently the only normally expected when you try to update to Firefox. It seems strange that you get the message using a 'Œuvres' document, but others have reported this message seemingly random incidents.
    (So normally, you must clear the error console, and then try to update knowing the error messages have been the result of this attempt to update)

    If I had this problem my concern would be that some kind of malware may be involved, but the message can then indicate that all this malicious program is upset.

  • Is it safe to leave the cover of the keyboard between the keyboard and screen retina when I close the macbook?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 15 "retina.

    I got the cover of the keyboard (not cheap but decent), and I use it everytime I open my macbook.

    However, I heard that it would be dangerous to leave the keypad cover when you close the macbook. Because it could hurt the sensitive retina screen.

    Is this true?

    Is it safe to leave the cover on my keyboard when I close the macbook? It's a little annoying move coverage of my keyboard everytime I have my macbook to opening / closing.

    If it's dangerous, is there a cover keyboard without danger to the retina on the market?

    Thanks for the help!

    I have used Moshi Clearguard kb current covers on two MacBook Pro, including retina mid-2014, I usually use closed with my Apple display 27 ". I put KB covers on as soon as I bought computers and have never deleted without fingers never touched my keys. I did it because I saw how dirty the kbs in the Apple Store, and the seller told me that once the black keys are oily, it is impossible to clean completely. I started with a silicone rubber cap. Three weeks later, I threw it in disgust and I bought a Moshi to replace.

    Moshi rugs are much thinner and lighter than the silicone rubber ones more adapted, hold their shape better, stay clear longer and are much easier to clean and type through. In addition to the one on my computer Ko, I keep one on the external Apple wireless keyboard which is always exposed on my desk. These caches really keep particulate crud, and they do not interfere with my typing at all. When they are dirty, I rub it in the sink with a detergent and a brush to vegetables, and when possible discoloration becomes noticeable after three or four years, I replace it with new ones.

    My previous MBP, a Core 2 Duo late 2008 unibody model, allows to get much hotter than my current on occasion, and I fear sometimes that heat buildup between the lowercase and the display closed would cook the KB cover or even the screen itself. But that never happened, but I guess it might have helped if any yellowing of the coverage.

    If use you Moshi hiding for seven years, I would never consider a time using a silicone back cover. I did not, and you shouldn't worry about all to close your view on a Moshi.
