System Preferences - Users and Groups - Login Items - remove any that you don't want on startup.
Don't forget also that Lion will automatically restart any apps you had open when you shut down, unless you untick the "Reopen windows when logging back in" tickbox that appears.

Hi I am bringing my verizon iPad air to Brazil later this month and would like to access cellular data. How do I do that? I understand there is something about swapping or disabling sim cards, but I am a little unclear and verizon was no help. Thanks for your help in advance.
You must have Verizon unlock the device from their service. In Brazil you will have to find a compatible provider and use their SIM in place of Verizon's SIM

I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card
I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card. I'd like to be able to run the Adobe CC 2014 software for 2D animation work. Don't need CUDA for any ray-traced work, just want to be able to run Ai and AE at the same time and have it handle the playback. Will this card http://www.ebay.com/itm/181466634525?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack =true be a good way to go? Or should I stick with the 4500? Or is there any other suggestion or things I should know?

Hi I brought my iPad1 in 2009/10 now I have an ipad2 I would like to transfer my music from my old ipad1 to my new iPad2? But since it was such a long time ago and i was living overseas then, I cant remember my details or email address i used or account I used when I purchased my music back then?.....
What do you suggest I do? Thank you.I would start here with iTunes Store Support.
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Click on Account Management and give them the details of what happened. Technically, you cannot trnasfer purchases to a new ID but ask them to assist you in changing the Apple ID and see what they say. You probably changed you email address in that time and you can change the email address associated with the ID without creating a new ID. -
Mac back from service- Home folder as "Admin" would like to change
Hi,
I have searched the topic, but have not been able to solve it with solutions provided. I have my PBback form servbice, new hardrive, no data on drive, everything new...have Home folder named as Administrator and would like to rename it...when I follow instruction on these discussion or Help in Mac, it reverts back to Admin name, when I restart.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
MagzTry right clicking the folder. Then choose *Get Info*. At the bottom choose Details under *Ownership & Permissions:*. Change the permissions to *Read & Write*. This should allow you to move things.

My husband's password was used to download app. ( Extreme 777) onto my ipad 2. I have now changed the apple ID to my own, but I cannot use my $20.00 credit in itune on this app. It says app. was purchased under another ID and i must purchase app. in my ID. I tried going back to his ID to redemm $ 20.00, but gift cards were redeemed under my new ID, therefore leaving 0 balance under his ID. If I purchase app again, I will lose all current credits on this app. Anyway to change the name on original download or transfer credits to new app?. Thanks
Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
You cannot use your AppleID to add credit to an app purchased
under your husband's AppleID. You must either download the
app under your AppleID (in effect starting over) or add credit to
his account. -

How to connect two hard drives in my mac pro
Hi, not sure what you mean by link them together!
You could RAID them int one bigger drive, (JBOD), or RAID0 them for twice the speed, or RAID1 them for automatic mirroring backup, but that requires erasing both drives & losing everything on them now.
There are other ways like moving iPhoto, iTunes, etc. to the second drive to make more space on the boot drive. -
When I bought my Mac Air OSX Version 10.9.2 my daughter helped me migrate the contents of my previous macbook. But in the process seems to have duplicated the iTunes library - How do I get rid of one. The start up disk is almost full and plus it doesn't synch properly with my iPhone 4S. Please help!
Hello nicky:
You should run repair disk from your software install DVD before you try anything else. The crash may have damaged some of your directories - and a possible cause of the "missing/not missing" tunes.

When I start my Mac air I get a flashing folder with a question mark
I am trying to start my Mac air and I get a flashing folder with a question mark. When I turn the power of it shuts down but wen starting it comes back
Just being clear about your situation. When you hold down Option during boot it does not show a system volume or a recovery volume from which to boot. At that point if you select a network boot and you do not see a spinning globe that persists there a good while as it loads the recovery partition over the network. True?
A couple of more thinks to try:
Disconnect all of your external devices.
Reset PRAM
Boot with the option key again.
Standard things to try (which is sounds like you already have attempted) A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac -
I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.
Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

My hotmail was open and I was using on my Mac Air, now it will not open
My hotmail was open and I was using on my Mac Air, now it will not open
What did I do and how do I open ?The app may not be iOS6 compatible. Have you tried to reset it? HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and unitl you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then I'd contact Kindle and see when they're going to update their app or if they even know there's an issue. Unfortunately, the burden is on app developers to be compatible with the operating system, not on the OS to be compatible with millions of apps. So it's up to them.

When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single space and 10pt.
It just started doing this a month ago.
It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer.
Help, I hate explorer.If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.
