Is there any way to activate a script as soon as the restart or shutdown options are selected either from the Apple menu or any other method?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
when occurs a suspension of hard drive activity, manually or after a period of inactivity, this suspension seems to be incomplete (a ventilator continue to run) therefore my mac (power-mac G5, OS 10.4.11) is unable to restart, no possible action from the keyboard (I must shut down and restart)

Whenever I open my mac mini it comes up with the same message "You need to restart your computer hold down the power button or press restart" in four different languages.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI restarted my computer, and when it booted back up the clock was reset to Dec 31 2000. I did not change the clock, and my control settings are password locked.
Should I be concerned about this, and has this happened to anybody else?
I have a DP 2.5GHz PowerPC G5 which is giving me problems. It is on all the time (server). If I try and restart it switches off but will not restar. Also, if it crashes (only happens once every few months) then it will not automatically restart. I have replaced the internal battery but this has not helped. I have also reset the PMU. Any ideas what may be going on here?

I have just shipped my Mac Mini to its new home and I've had reports that the panic error is appearing on boot up: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart Button." This screen appears on the blue window just after the grey apple screen has disappeared and does not get as far as the desktop at the same point each time. We have tried to reinstall mac OS from the original install disk but holding the "C" Key or the "Option" Key down on restart doesn't boot from disc. Is there a way you can view the Kernel Panic log before you boot into Mac OS so we can try and pin point the source of this problem. I'm wondering if this could have been the result of the shipping that has caused some hardware to come loose.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a problem I've noticed on two Macs I currently own. First I had my 20" iMac with Vista installed, and currently I have a 24" iMac with XP installed. In both cases, when I'm in Windows and need to restart (for whatever reason) and want to go back into Windows instead of OS X, the Option key does not function correctly to bring up the OS select screen, and instead will go straight to OS X, as that is the default OS I have set up to boot into.
So basically, if I restart from OS X, the Option key works fine and I can choose to go into Windows, but restart from Windows and I have no choice in the matter, it makes me go into OS X. Any idea why?
My first thought is that it has to do with the fact that I'm using Apple's bluetooth keyboard (and mouse), but once the computer has actually restarted, why would it matter? Does the computer remember the BIOS from Windows when it restarts, and therefore fails to recognize my bluetooth? For the record I have to turn my keyboard off then on again when entering windows to get it to be recognized and work, but not the mouse, which works fine.
I was using garage band when the screen popped up saying that i need to restart my computer. i tried holding down the power button but the screen is frozen. the computer is making a quiet clicking sound. if i close the laptop the light stays on and the sound persists.

It seems that I must edit the httpd.conf file to actually enable php. I changed the permissions on the file with sudo chmod ug+rw for httpd.conf. TextEdit still doesn't allow me to change it. It's saying that I don't have permission to write to that folder. I changed the permission the /etc/apache2 and that didn't help. What must I do to be able to modify httpd.conf and enable php support? Is there a different way to enable PHP? I am aware that MAMP is an option. But I should not have to use that option if php is available in apache.

I probably already have the answer to this question myself but I wanted to make sure, and also have a follow-up query based on the responses.The system board was replaced last year after a nasty scrap between a cup of black coffee and my MBP (you will have immediately deduced who won).Today I noticed that many of the plist and plist.lockfile files within my Library/Preferences/ByHost folder have duplicates, albeit with different UUIDs in the filename. The dates pretty much tie up with when the system board was replaced so my assumption is that the UUID changed with the new hardware.
Q1) Would someone be so kind as to verify my assumption, or make a loud raspberry if my assumption is erroneous?
On the basis that the response from our wonderful community is: "Your assumption is correct Livebox, you have not gone mad, and you may rest-assured that the world is at peace (for now)", my additional question(s) are:
Q2a) Is it safe to delete ALL plist and plist.lockfile files that sport the old UUID?
Q2b) Is it safe to delete ONLY those plist and plist.lockfile files that sport the old UUID AND have a new version that sports the new UUID?

the hard drive on my macbook pro has died and i am in a foreign country with my install discs for os x in the attic of my house which is rented out! ive borrowed a friends install discs for his macbook pro just to see if i can repair the disk but its either not working because of the incompatibility or the hdd is just broken. i'm not dead set on using os x so i wondered if i can get a new hard drive and just boot with a linux install. i would like to continue using the firewire port for an external soundcard but apart from that i only want it for surfing and doing some php/apache web development.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen up for a while trying to figure this out with no luck. I created an app that will uninstall a program and all of it's files.Â
example try                   do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp"          end try    try                   do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp2"          end try    try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp.plist"          end try         try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp2.plist" end try         try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/FakeTestApp*"          end try         try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/FakeTestApp" end tryÂ
there are alot more paths to remove but this is just a few for exampleÂ
I want to be able to create a log.txt file on the desktop to show what has been removed and or what could not be removed.Â
I then tried by creating a text document by usingÂ
do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/test.txt"Â tell application "Finder"Â open file ((path to desktop folder as text) & "test.txt") using ((path to applications folder as text) & "TextEdit.app")end tellÂ
but I don't know what to do next.Â
1. Have it check for each file to see if it was deleted or not
2. add it into the test.txt file
3. save the file once doneÂ
