I upgraded to os X and when I start my macbook pro it loads ms word, firefox, neatworks, I have to close out those systems every time I restart my mac.

how do I stop programs from opening at startup

When you shut down, uncheck the window to reopen applications. If you update to 10.7.4, then it should remain unchecked each time you shutdown. In previous versions of the OS, you will have to uncheck the window each time you shut down or restart.
You might check your User Account login items for other applications you may not want as startup items if you have any there.

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

One thing to check: when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

I have to reenter my Wifi password every time I restart my Ipod touch. It used to retain the password but now it drops out when I turn the Ipod off. Any suggestions?

TS1440 A flashing question mark appeared when I started my MacBook Pro, I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked. How can I back up my current files so I can reinstall Mavericks?

I recently did a manual reboot after my MacBook Pro had frozen, and instead of the usual Apple and loading icon, it gave me the flashing question mark on a folder, which I've never encountered before. I looked up some possible reasons on my PC, and after reading that there's a problem with my HD I tried looking up how to back up my files so that I can do a clean reinstall of Yosemite (latest ver.). However, I've never used anything like Time Machine or anything else that could back up all my files, so it didn't sound like I could do anything about that at this point. I've also tried going into Disk Utility and attempting to repair the disk image. There was only 2 available, disk0 and the base system. I verified the base system, and told me there was nothing wrong (it didn't give me the option to repair anything either, on both available options). I don't think this is the right thing though, since my drive was called MacBook Pro HD. So basically this is the point I'm at now. Is there anything I can do that will repair my HD without erasing all my files?

When i start my MacBook Pro, the Microsoft applications Automatically boot up, how do I prevent this?

When I start my Mac, all of the microsoft applications for Mac Automatically boot, this has just occured over the past few days but I would like to deactivate the Automatic Start for Word, Excel and PPT.
Thank You

If you use a virtualizer like Parallels Desktop or VMware or Virtualbox: goto system Preferences/ Account/ LoginItems and delete (- sign) the Virtualizer.
If you use Bootcamp: log into Windows, there disable autostartup with system start, there used to be a simple tool called startup.cpi which pops up in ControlPanel and that handles these things.

Every time I restart my Mac, I lose Firefox and have to re-install it.

I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro (the 15 inch base model, if it matters) and shortly after tried to install Firefox. I installed it no problem, however, whenever I restart my Mac, it is completely gone. Not in Finder/Applications. I can't seem to figure out what is going on. Help!

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

When I start my macbook pro it takes 10 minutes to start

really that's all....as the title says.
no issues insalling, but now, after a few times I've started it as per ususal, now it shows a grey screen, with an apple logo and the wheel, for 10 mins.....then it starts.......
Any solutions?
Running macbookpro 2009

Fair enough, thanks for that...
but isn't the purpose of upgrades to make things better? I mean, that did happen in any of the previous os versions...never had to close down programs to avoid a 10 min startup (getting close to windows performance, people!!)
if things are there to be made better, question, better for who?
Us (the users, the ones that pay Apple salaries salaries)
or Apple, that probably needs to lock down some other feature to push on cloud or whatever else they make money from...???
don't want to sound caustic, but progressively, I am finding it harder to do simple things like synchronise calendars, addresses etc, without joining some apple additional service....things which were possible before are gradually disappearing leaving us less choices.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any.

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any. If I use the bookmarks all of the websites open perfectly. I've closed Firefox down and opened again and a message says "how embarassing" and tells me to restore or start a new session. Have tried both but still will not let me open any websites on the google search page.

. I did however, delete the majority of my photos off of iPhoto after I backed them up because I needed room in my library.
exactly how did you delete these photos?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and when I turned around I noticed my Stickies were gone

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and when I turned around I noticed my Stickies with all my secret computer codes and passwords etc. were gone. I think they are attached to the application and were replaced with the upgrade with a new version...n'es pas?

Came here looking for a solution to this same problem and presume others will.
I found it somewhere else but just want to share the answer!
go to the SPOTLIGHT search and type in Stickies.
The app is still on your mac, it just doesn't show in the dock or the Launchpad.
It opened and all my lovely notes appeared as they were in my Lion install.
have a nice day!

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly. Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly. Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.
