    why do all the programs open when the mini is turned on, and how to avoid this?

    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.
    Remove all apps listed there.
    And check /Library/StartupItems
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/StartupItems
    Click Go then move all items from the StartupItems folder to the Trash.

  • Every program opens when I power on...

    When I am finished with using my Ma, I go up to the little apple icon and "shut down."  I figured this would save some battery. 
    Since I updated to Mac OS X 10.7.2, every time I power on I have to then close out iCal, Safari, Word, Powerpoint, MobileMe and sometimes iTunes to declutter my screen and start whatever I want to do. 
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this? 
    Should I just let my computer sleep when I'm not using it? Just shut the lid or something? 
    I'm by no means a computer expert, so please give detailed instructions if you can.  Thanks so much!

    Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
    At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

  • I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-.  All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top.  How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

  • Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

    Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
    You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then download an installer from here:

  • I have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

    i have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

    adobe tries to open every file i download, how do i stop this?

    This is a file association problem. You can change the files Adobe Acrobat can open, but the method depends upon your version of the operating system. There used to be an entry in the Acrobat/Reader Faq on how to do this.

    I don't know if this is a feature, but I find it ANNOYING. Say I have 2 browser windows minimized. I decide to open another window. Why do ALL minimized browser windows and how can I stop it.

    Found solution. Had to disable Ask.com toolbar.

  • IOS 7 Mail keeps crashing when I try to open a new message. How do I stop it from crashing?

    In the last 24 hours after switching to iOS 7, Mail has crashed on me 3 or 4 times when tapping on the mail icon in the tray. How do I stop this from happening. I have an iPad 2 16GB.

    All the suggestions posted were valid ideas, but they didn't help in the end.  I finally had to restore the iPad.  First, I tried clearing up space, and that didn't work, then I deleted all my e-mail acounts and that didn't work.  So, in preparation, I deleted all e-mail accounts, then I turned off photo syncing from iTunes (from my iPhoto account where I had about 10 GB of photos synced), then I backed up this configuration to my iMac via iTunes.  Then I followed procedures in this kb article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 except I restored from the backup when asked.  I manually re-entered all my e-mail accounts (I have a lot) and Mail was working perfectly now.  Then I re-synced a limited subset of the photos I had synced before, and all is fine.  I think the only problem I really had was a corrupted iOS Mail app, and luckily I was able to solve the issue with a only factory reset and restore from backup!

  • I deleted bing as one of my search engine choices, but the bin page still appears when I open a new tab. How do I stop the bing page showing up?

    I clicked on the search engine emblem and then I clicked on the "manage search engines" line. I then deleted bing as a search engine option. However when I open a new tab the bing page appears on my screen. How do I stop this from happening?

    This thread has some solutions:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/762043
    The most straightforward seems to be: hold Ctrl and Left-Click on the Reload button. You could also Middle-click on the Reload button (e.g. "click" with the mouse wheel, if you have a wheel-mouse.) The thread above also has some other options.
    Edit: you could also hold Ctrl and drag a tab next to itself to clone it, another suggestion from the above thread.
