IMac startup automatically opens Safari and Text Edit

Whenever I start or restart my iMac, it automatically opens Safari and Text Edit in two small windows. This happens even even when those programs were off when the computer was shut done. Not a major problem but I'd like to fix it.

Did you check your Login items in the "Accounts" Systems Preference? You might be starting up the applications when you boot.

  • Only safari and text edit work

    2 days ago my mac power cable was pulled out of the wall. When I turned the Mac Mini back on only programs such as Safari, Dashboard, and text edit worked. I can go to system preferences but that is all. All of my desktop icons have been deleted. itunes, iDVD, iCal, and others such as america online, and AIM do not work. When I shut the computer down and restart it a screen with a blinking folder with a question mark alternating with the mac logo appears and then starts up as normally. I do not have the CDs that came with the computer, is there anything i can do?

    It is possible to call Apple and pay them their fee to have them to send you some replacements.
    Forunately Apple isn't exactly like Microsoft requiring you to pay for a new retail version of their software.

    Both Memory Clean and Clean My Mac could have cause the damage which triggered the kp.
    I would back up your Mac, erase and reinstall. Then Migrate your user data from the backup.
    Uninstalling Tuxera is a troubleshooting process. You don't have to keep it uinstalled, just long enough to test to see if it is causing the problems.
    However, if it doesn't happen regularly, it would be hard to determine if it was the cause.  And, as I mentioned, I don't think it would be the cause.

  • I open safari and one site takes me to their app in the store automatically.  How can I prevent this?

    I open safari and one site takes me to their app in the store automatically.  How can I prevent this?

    some sites that use flash (or other issues) dont want you trying to view the site in your browser on an ios device, because they know it will not be a good experience - they detect your device, and if it is an ios device  they want you to use their app instead of your browser.

  • How do I Keep the "zoom" size setting the same each time I open Safari and from web page to web page?

    I have a 27" iMac when I open Safari the web page is only 1/3 the size of the full screen Safari window. I know how to ZOOM in on the web page! My question is, How do I keep this ZOOM setting for all web pages and each time I open Safari up?

    Sorry, but that's not possible.
    An alternative might be to use Zoom in System Preferences > Accessibility
    Or try a different screen resolutioin in System Preferences > Displays > Scaled

  • I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
    You can also create an Automator Service:
    Open Automator
    Select: Service
    Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
    and:
    Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

  • Since updating to mavericks i can't open ical or text edit

    since updating to mavericks i can't open ical or text edit.
    do i really have to reinstall, will take me 20 hours athome

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • New iMac, can't open safari after migration

    Moved files from old iMac (2006) to new iMac (bought yesterday) that was running itunes music off of an external hard drive. Move seemed successful, and I re-attached external hard drive but Itunes would not open, saying itunes was a "newer version" than what was on new iMac already. Did software update and it did not finish the update, saying try again. Second time, it completed update, updating itunes and then the new iMac was able to read the external hard drive fine. I tested a few songs and itunes found them and played them fine, all artwork ok, etc.
    So, then I tried to open Safari and it told me it could not run this version of Safari on the new iMac OSX. Tried the update software trick again, but it still will not open, same message. Under Safari preferences, it shows two default Safari versions, 5.0.4 i thinkg and 5.1.1 (i think) [I am at work now].  I can get around this and get to the internet fine by double clicking my Amazon MP3 icon, which asks if i want to quit and go to website to update, where i am then on amazon.com and have all my bookmarks etc listed on web browser just like before and it works fine...So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop? I have not tried to download new safari from apple website yet to see if that works to overwrite the others...Am i missing something simple? Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ?  Thanks for the help.  jw

    Hi Simon...
    Have two different versions of Safari on your Mac won't work.
    So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop?
    new iMac (bought yesterday)
    The only way to reiinstall Safari on Lion v10.7 is to use Lion Recovery which will reinstall the Mac OS X.
    Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ? 
    No.

  • HT1338 i can not open safari and it says safari quit unexpectedly

    i can not open safari and it says safari quit unexpectedly

    Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info
    If you see version 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 in the Get Info panel, updating to Safari 6 may help.
    Apple has not posted a standalone Safari 6 installer, but there is a work around.
    Click here >  Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
    Then click the link posted by:  gregoryfromcork
    That will automatically download this file >  Safari6Lion.pkg.download
    Now quit Safari.
    Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
    Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

  • My space bar has disappeared when I open safari, and has been replaced by other keys. I don't understand why?

    My space bar has disappeared when I open safari and been replaced by other keys, does anyone know how this happened?

    When you tap in the address field to type the web address, another keyboard pops up without the space bar as no spaces are need when typing the web address. Just tap anywhere on the screen or on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner and the keyboard will go away.

  • Automatically open, save and close excel?

    I need import data from Excel to SQL.
    Now, I use tSQL to directly read the excel files and transform to the SQL table.
    As the user Excel is not a good format for SQL to read, I need use formula to transform the excel to be a SQL readable format.
    Now, I add a sheet to copy the data from the sheet which user input the data and then ask the user to copy the excel to a specific location for import.
    However, this will make the data in the excel double and result a large excel file.
    I am thinking if it is possible to create a excel to use formula to copy the data from another excel.
    Then, I need find some method to open that excel, let the content refresh from the source excel, save and close it.
    Then I can directly use this excel for data import.
    Is there any simple way to do so? I don't know marco much...
    Ivan

    No formula could do this (Automatically open, save and close excel).
    You need to recode a marco or write a macro. Why donot you ask in msdn?

  • Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

    when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
    OS:10.7.2
    Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

    I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
    Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
    I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.
