How do I get to the startup menu. I have 6 apps start when I power on that I want to turn off.

I want to turn off some of the apps when my system starts up. There are about 6 apps, programs, that start and it takes too long for the mac to get going.

Two possibilities: Open System Preferences, select Users & Groups, and right above your user picture you'll see buttons for Password and Login Items. Select Login Items. In the window pane you'll see a list of items that are selected for startup at login. Select an item you don't want and click on the minus button at the bottom of the pane.
If any (or all) of the programs that are starting up don't appear in this list it means that these programs were running when you shut the computer down. In Lion, by defaul, any program running when the computer is shut down will automatically restart. There's a dialog box that appears when you select logout or restart which allows you to cancel this for that logout only. In other words, you much click the checkmark each time you logout/quit. I don't shutdown often and have an SSD so this behavior doesn't annoy me much, except at work where i don't have an SSD and I do shut down more often.

    In your printer settings, do you have WIRELESS SETUP or WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD?
    The SSID is the name of your network. When the printer searches for a network, it finds your SSID, and you choose it.

  • Qosmio X70-A-K2S - How do I get to the BIOS menu?

    Hello!
    I have a laptop Qosmio X70-A-K2S.
    I want to replace one of the hard drives on the SSD.
    How do I get to the BIOS menu?
    Recommendations from the user manual (reboot and release F2 for 1 sec.) do not help.
    I can not get any BIOS menu or BOOT menu.
    But easily fall into the recovery menu by pressing the 0.

    >Recommendations from the user manual (reboot and release F2 for 1 sec.) do not help
    Sure this is right is Win 8 preinstalled?
    Probably this is the reason why you cannot access the BIOS.
    The Windows 8 does not shut down the notebook by default but it perform hybrid shut down.
    This allows to boot the notebook much faster but as I said, it prevents accessing the BIOS.
    Take a look here how to perform shut down on Windows 8 preinstalled notebook:

  • How do i get passed choose a menue,I have finished editing rendering unable to go to Burn directly to disc, Help would be appreciated, thankyou Gordon

    How do i get passed choose a menue,I have finished editing rendering unable to go to Burn directly to disc, Help would be appreciated, thank you Gordon

    Thanks for the additional information.
    After you have your Timeline content ready for export with destination burn to disc, if you do not go to Tools Menu/Movie Menu to apply disc menus and you go instead directly to Publish+Share/Disc, you will get an automatic message for a Yes or No answer with regard to disc menus.
    If you do not want menus, then just click No and you should next see the following
    where you make your burn to choice.
    The Yes or No message should be for Publish+Share/Disc and not Publish+Share/Computer.
    You cannot export a file with menus to the hard drive.
    If you went Timeline content, Tools Menu/Movie Menu, and applied a menu, and then decided that you do not want a menu, the go to the top of the Movie Menu customization area and click on Reset, followed by Done. And, then go to Publish+Share/Computer and your choice for the export to file saved to the computer hard drive.
    Please review the above and let us know if you are OK with the above details.
    Thank you.

    Restart the Mac, and start over, it very well could be frozen. This is not the way you would like to start out your Mac experience!

    And you just like helping people?
      That is just the way this forum works - users get help from other users and learn from others and like to contribute if they see they can help.
    My latest challenge was typing in melodies and chords of songs I'd written on the piano. But using the Musical Typing in register C3 I inserted all the notes by playing on the imac keyboard (and written in the treble clef). The only problem is you cant insert the chords at the same time. Now I have an empty bass clef, which requires chords be inserted in register C2 and I dont know yet how to do that.
    To fill in the chords: Join a melody track and a bass track, like this:
    - Create a new software track and record the chords separately with musical typing.
    - Create a new track and copy your melody loops there (just as backup, if something goes wrong)
    - Do the same with the track containing the chords.
    - Then select all loops in the copies of the melody track  and the copy of the chords track and select from the main menu
           Edit -> Join.
    Now you should have a track that contains the bass as well as the melody and both staffs should be filled in the track editor, so you can print both at the same time.
    However, there will be some notes assigned to the wrong staff - very low melody notes will appear in the bass cleff, very high chord notes will appear in the melody cleff - and I don't see how you could fix that in GB.
    Good luck

  • When I go to Apple TV menu and click on Settings, nothing happens. How do I get into the settings menu?

    Hi, I can't get past the setup stage with my Apple TV box. It takes forever trying to set the date and time and never seems to achieve this. When I select menu and then select Settings, nothing whatsoever happens. If I can't access the Settings menu, then clearly I can't set the network and password. Can anyone tell me how to get into the Settings menu please? Thanks

    Honestly, I have never heard of this issue. The only thing that i can recommend is obtaining a Micro-USB cord and restoring the device. That's probably your only way out of this.

  • How do I get to the startup manager with wireless keyboard?

    When starting up, if you hold down the Option key you are supposed to get to the Startup manager, where you can select which disk to start up from, etc.  But this doesn't seem to work when using the Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard.  If ever I get into trouble and need to start up from a repair disk or my system disks, I won't be able to.  How can I get this to work?
    Thanks.

    Paul, you may need a USB KB for emergencies.

    If you want to reinstall Mt. lion or Lion, follow these instructions:

    If you want to install an OS such as Snow Leopard or earlier, you will need to get the installation disk, insert it in the DVD drive and press the C key when starting the MBP.
    Note that if you use Disk Utility>Erase, you will erase all user data from the HDD.

  • How do you get to the ichat menu?  I am a brand new mac user

    So I accidently put the wrong user name when I was setting up ichat and I want to go back and change it with an AIM account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into the menu of iChat.  Just got the computer last night

    Hi,
    This first  (From Defcom)
    Click on iChat in the dock at the bottom of your desktop first.
    This will either bring iChat to the Front or launch iChat is it is not open.
    Then you should be able to do irvine91's stuff
    Open iChat > In the Menu bar along the top of the screen click on iChat and then Preferences > Select the accounts tab and then you can use the plus and minus icons to add and remove new accounts.
    Removing the incorrect one and adding a new Account with the correct info is probably easier than trying to edit the existing one that is set up at the moment.
    IF the Existing one has Buddies added set up the new one then Select all the Buddies in the Current Buddy List and drag them to the new Buddy list.
    Then you can delete the first one you set up (that is incorrect).
    Presumably if you put in incorrect details it is not even able to Log-in and have not been able to add Buddies.
