How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?

How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?  Also when you reboot Mac tries to reopen anything running before the reboot.  Is there any way to turn off that functionality?

  • How can I determine which programs/files are using disc space?

    A question for the professionals:
    What program on my MacBook Pro can I run to determine which programs and files are taking up the percentage of disc space?  I am running at 72 gb, which is great, but I need to know what is using up the rest of it.  Thank you in advance to any helpful solutions.

    who do you determine which imac you possess.  I read about g2, g3, g4.

    You have an intel Mac, the G prefixes are for PPC Macs.  Go to About this Mac under the in the Menu Bar, it will give you the exact designation of your Mac.

  • Determine which programs are currently running on OS

    Hi,
    Is there any way in java so that I can determine whether a particular program is currently running on the OS, or not?
    Thanks,
    Vimal

    Using the NT resource kit there is a command called 'pulist'.
    It provides less detail that 'ps' on unix.
    There is also a unix toolset available at
    http://virtunix.itribe.net/mystuff.html
    It provides a 'ps' command.

  • How do you determine which apps are paid and which are free

    I am trying to perform some cleaning of my iPhone and want to delete some apps.  I know which ones to delete, and which ones to save, but never want to delete an app that I have paid for. 
    How can I tell, either on the phone itself, or within iTunes, which apps were paid for, and which were free?  They all show a purchased date in "get info" within iTunes, even apps that were free. I know some apps that I certainly paid .99 for, and some that I have paid much more than that.  I would never want to delete those.  How can I tell the difference?

    Ok, keep in mind, this is iTunes app store, not Desktop App Store, just so we are on the same page.  I have a purchase history that looks like this:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/this-f0-154400.png
    If I go to the app Store, locate the exact app in question, this is what I get:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/ss-2012.01.02-3.45.23.PM-57-154549 .png
    Compare that to an app I did made a purchase to, Geocacging, and it is different. As you can see, it tells me that I can download it again, for free, and this is in no way a free app, quite expensive compared to most 99 cent apps:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/ss-2012.01.02-3.46.56.PM-c4-154716 .png
    I am logged into lCloud as far as I know. Here is a screen shot from system prefs:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/ss-2012.01.02-3.49.06.PM-7d-154932 .png
    It says "sign out" which tells me I am logged in.
    I don't have an app within the apps section of itunes of the apps section of my phone when connectted by wireless of by usb cable.
    So unles I am completely mising your instructions, I believe this to be on Apple's end, and they are not recognixing that I have already downloaded this app and paid for it.  I am about to just download and pay for it again, it is only 3.99, so not a big deal, however, if this was a 100.00 GPA app or smilar, I would be a little upset.
    Thanks for all your help.

  • HT204150 I now have multiple icloud accounts. How do you determine which one is holding the data?

    I recently set up a new Windows 7 PC. I backed my phone to the icloud. When I plugged my phone into itunes on the PC it wiped my contacts and music out. Now I'm finding I have multiple iCloud accounts. I don't know which one to use or how to get my data restored to the phone. Very frustrating! Can anyone help me? --ptowngal

    Go to icloud.com, sign into each of your iCloud accounts and see which one(s) contain your data.

  • Using Windows8, how can you change which program to import photos from iphone?

    When I bought a Windows8 PC (Lenovo Yoga) and synched iphone the first time, it defautled to the Photo App on my PC.  I no longer seem to get the pop up window I used to get under Windows7 asking me if it should use the default program to select and import photos.  Now it directly opens the photo app and asks which to import.  I'm sure its there somewhere but I can't find any way to change which tool is used.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There is only one way

  • How do you define which program opens what?

    For example, how do I tell mac to open all .php files with TextMate? I tried the open always with but it only works for that one file. The other .php files go back to another text editor. I want it for all of them.
    Thanks.

    this would possibly be the original application that "assigns" a particular icon to the file. you could try to copy the file (i.e. keep one safe/unmodified) and off the copy delete the extension. You will then be asked to confirm (as it's a copy you can play around with it).
    Then open textmate and open the file from there and save it via textmate. This might result in a different icon.
    You can always change every icon by highlighting the icon in the "get info" and pasting the icon of choice. Find a useful article:

  • How can you determine which pages are using a specific symbol?

    I want to find all the pages that are using a specific symbol, but I don't know how.  I can't simply switch symbols because some have specific text & want to switch them with more generic smart buttons.  I'll have to find every instance to update the text.
    thanks!

    me too, my file has 39 pages with many unuse symbols, now I want to delete those unuse.
    I found that after deleteing those unuse in Page 1, actually they are being used in other page,
    I can't find the way to delete them all at one time for all pages.
    and I am using CS3

  • How does RAC determine which instance number to run on which node

    Good afternoon
    I am trying to script a process and I need to identify how RAC decides which node runs which instance. Is it the first one of the pair added to the cluster that runs node 1 or is there some other piece of information that I need to work this out
    This is on Redhat Linux with 10.2.0.3 for CRS, ASM and databases
    Cheers
    Peter

    Before "you" start an instance you set env variable ORACLE_SID. This identifies an instance. When you go into sqlplus and issue STARTUP, Oracle starts the instance named by the sid. Thus the instance running on the server is controlled by you. This changes as noted below.
    If you were using a non-Oracle tool to start instances, such as Veritas, then you would see it start the instance you coded into the tool. It would not randomly pick an instance. It looks in the Veritas config file and sees that you always want instance 1 on this node and instance 2 on that node.
    That said, you can make Oracle more random or "grid" like. 10g RAC done Oracle's way likes to bounce around between primary and secondary nodes. To see which instances are running on a node you can "ps -ef | grep pmon". Alternatively, use sqlplus to look in the database: view gv$instance gives you each instance name paired with the name of the host it is currently running on. There is one line of output per instance currently running.

  • How can I determine which jobs are running on NT?

    Hello,
    How do I determine which processes are in execution on an NT box from a JAVA
    application? I figure it must involve runtime exec'ing some run32dll
    program, but which one?
    TIA

    Search microsoft.com, or MSDN. That isn't anything to do with Java Programming.

  • I have about 5,000 images in a Folder.  How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

    I have about 5,000 images in a Folder.  How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

    Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
    That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
    If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y"

  • How does DIADEM import TDMS files? How gets every channel his number and groupindex? How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?

    I store different channels in a TDMS file.
    I like to have a time channel at the first position with group index 1 and number 1.
    When I read the TDMS file with DIADEM the time channel (Float64) is on a differernt position, and the channels are not sorted alphabetically.
    Here are my questions:
    How does DIADEM import TDMS files?
    How gets every channel his number and groupindex?
    How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?
    Best regards
    Joerg

    Hi Jörg,
    i suppose that you´re programme whose create the *.tdms file is writing on false position. Try to create datas with timechannel on first indes in diadem, then save it and then open it again. you see that all is correct. So please tell me what programm in what version do you use and please attache it here.
    Did you use the library for creating *.tdms files like in the link ?
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6471
    Here you find the gtdms_8.x.zip - when you extract it and opened the *.llb you find vi´s for all functions e.g. writing 2d array of strings to *.tdms file
    when you open the subvi´s then you see how created and writing datas/structure to *.tdms files. Because *.tdms is binary you can´t see structure with open it in editor.
    When you don´t have Labview you can use the 30 days test of current version 8.5 under following link
    german version download link
    https://lumen.ni.com/nicif/d/lveval/content.xhtml
    english version download link

  • How do you determine what shows are in free video on demand?

    How do you determine what to include in the free on-demand shows?  The Mentalist was always there before but is no longer.  This is especially important for shows like the Mentalist and The Good Wife which come on Sunday nights after sports events.  Even if I set my DVR to record 60 minutes over it doesn't always catch the entire episode.  Would also like to see Person of Interest  there.   And last but not least, you should have a way for people to access netflix or other services from your service.  

    If you go to BROWSE then the FREE folder you will find that everything in there is free viewing. If you go elsewhere and try to watch a paid show, you will get a prompt asking you to purchase. It also shows the amount of the movie before purchase.

    How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    Hi jrector3,
    You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.
    You can also go to the help menu and check if 'Deactivate' option is highlighted.
