Why does my mac mini re-open all of my previous sessions activity and windows even when I have closed them before turning my mac off?

When ever I boot up my mac mini it re-opens all of my activity from my previous use of it. This happens even if I quit all the running programes before I turned it off. It does not effect the computer when its running but it is bugging the crap out of me. Any help would be much appreiciated.

Try going to System Preferences > General > and uncheck Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
See if that helps.
Also when you say you quit all running programs, do you just click on the red X ballon in the top left or do you actually CMD + Quit?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Sara

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

Why does my 2014 Mini go to sleep in the middle of activity?

My 2014 Mac Mini is primarily used as a home theater unit. For display, it's connected via HDMI to a port on my Onkyo home theater receiver, which is in turn connected to my Sony 52" LCD.
I have an external Bluray drive connected, as well as a 2TB USB 3.0 bus-powered external hard drive.
Keyboard is an IOGEAR Bluetooth keyboard, trackpad is an Apple Magic Trackpad.
At the moment, I'm using MakeMKV to rip one of my owned DVDs to the Mini's external drive...
...and yet, despite this ongoing activity, AND the fact that I have the Caffeine app activated AND no screen saver AND Energy Saver settings designed to NEVER turn off the display, if I walk away and come back a few minutes later, the display will be OFF and the Mini will be ASLEEP.
(I also have a Macbook Pro. Running Caffeine on my laptop will keep it awake until h e l l freezes over or I say otherwise. Wish that were true with my Mini.)
Any ideas as to how I can keep my Mini reliably AWAKE?
Thanks!

Why does the same pdf sometimes open in Photoshop with a white bkgd and sometimes transparent?

I am opening the same pdf file on two different computers with the same version of photoshop. Why does it open with a transparent background on one computer and a white background on the other? Is there any way to force it to open with a transparent background? Thanks.
Loni

You have different versions of the shared PDF libraries on the different systems and/or different settings on PDF handling, most likely. This can affect transparency. The PDF libraries are shared between Adobe apps, so this may be dependent on anotehr program having changed something in that area...

Why does my computer create web connections to addresses in the Amazon, Google and Youtube range when I start Firefox?

I think I already disabled all the updating functions, yet, SOMETIMES when I start Firefox, (with about:blank), my network monitor shows one to five connections to IP addresses mostly in the 74.125.225.x, 74.125.227.x, 74.125.228.x, and 72.21.x.x ranges. Those ranges include Google, Amazon, and Youtube.
I use Kaspersky, and have scanned multiple times for malware, and even had their technical support look into my computer. They see no malware. It is the Kaspersky Network Monitor that revealed the problem.
As I find them happening, I try to jot down the addresses, (quickly, because some of these connections only last a second or two), then add those to a firewall rule I created to try to combat the problem. Yet, next time I start, new addresses are "attacking". Of course, some get away, because I don't get the address jotted down before it goes away. At one point I used masking that ended up keeping me from Google and Youtube, so I have to add the addresses individually, and my block list in that one rule is 13 items long now. The only IPs not in those ranges are 23.5.251.27, and 173.194.46.5. Not sure where those go.
I used to get attacked by addresses in the range that includes Amazon ... 72.21.x.x. I have a separate firewall rule for them that has 33 addresses being blocked.
I should not have to do all that. Firefox should start and just sit there quietly until I start clicking or typing in it. This has been happening in Firefox versions going back to 11. May have gone on before that, but I wasn't tracking it then.
Also, it doesn't always happen, or, more precisely, with addresses I have not already blocked, (because my only way to know it's happening is when the connections are allowed to be made). It does not always happen right after Firefox is up, but sometimes several minutes later. I have started Firefox and just sat and watched the network monitor without doing anything in Firefox, and have seen this happen up to 15 minutes after I start Firefox ... mostly just two or three minutes when there's a delay at all.

Firefox does not do anything but sit on about:blank after I start it as long as I have a firewall rule enabled that completely blocks these subnets:
74.125.222.0/24
74.125.227.0/24
74.125.228.0/24
173.194.46.0/24
173.194.115.0/24
173.194.121.0/24
64.233.171.0/24
54.230.90.0/24
54.230.88.0/24
72.21.194.0/24
72.21.195.0/24
72.21.215.0/24
207.171.163.0/24
Otherwise, Fire fox creates connections to one to five addresses in those ranges. Note that there are more than 5 subnets above, but usually three connections satisfies whatever purpose these connections are being made for. If I had some links or whatever that is causing these connections, I would expect all of them would come up every time.
Also, these connections do not start immediately upon starting Firefox, they wait up to 15 minutes to start ... fifteen minutes of just sitting idle ... no actions on my part that could possibly initiate them. Usually these start within three minutes. A typical ploy of malware is to wait until no one is looking, or the until there's a forest to put their tree in so it won't be noticed.
While the above rules are in place, I do not have access to Amazon, Youtube, or Google, (or any of the various blog sites and services sponsored by Google, including Google Maps and Gmail). That list may not be complete, as I have other firewall rules in place that mainly block individual addresses.
It seems to me as simple as; figure out who owns those subnets, and you have your bad guys. Then go after them.
It's true that I have a bookmarks to Google, Gmail, and Youtube, but these are not "active" bookmarks nor RSS feeds. I have not voluntarily gone to Amazon on this computer.
The traffic being transmitted is unknown. It is usually not extremely large amounts of data ... less than a meg, but I have seen close to a Gig transmitted out of my computer, and over 400 meg transmitted to my computer, when I was not paying attention to block the offender. Even if it's small amounts, things like cookies, path structures, configuration settings, histories, etc. do not involve a lot of data, but, to me, represent a security breach, if someone decides to look at them unsolicited by me, not unlike your landlord, mortgage holder, or neighborhood police officer walking into your home while you're not there, and taking pictures of, or simply inventorying your belongings.
It is VERY much like some sort of backdoor malware. No malware is detected on my computer.
I looked at the suggestion above for OS changes for logging HTTP activity, but the author neglected to include instructions for backing out these changes after using them. If this were to create more jewels in a drawer the thief has access to, reformatting and restoring my drive is not the kind of back out process I enjoy. Therefore it would be foolish to apply them. To me it would be like bungee diving with no bungee. Fun until you hit the bottom. Give me the bungee, let me make sure it's short enough, then I'll dive.

Why does Firefox close after being opened for too long with no activity?

I need to leave an image loop playing on my computer continuously but the internet browser seems to time out after being opened for more than 14 hours. Is there a way to keep my internet browser opened with out activity for as long as I choose?

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS 6?

Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS6?

I have an iPhone 5 running at iOS7.1.1. The Calendar list mode previous to iOS 6 showed all past entries, which I found very useful. After the upgrade, it only showed the previous 12 months (as I recall). All past entries are still present, you just have to exit list mode to see them. I'm asking this now after finding the forum for the answer to rediscover the list function in iOS 7.

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

Katrina UK
It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

2010 Mac Mini Beach Balls all the time! Help!

Our Mac mini has always been this way since new on and off. It has the DVD drive and c2d. I have upgraded it trying to resolve the issue but it is still there. It now has 8gb of ram, 128gb SSD m4. Though it is two versions of the OS behind and considering upgrading it to mountain lion too see if that helps. The OS has been installed fresh multiple times. It is okay after a fresh reboot, but after the day is up is starts to slow. If you go more than one day or so it is really slow. We have to restart it every day
I am sick of the issues it has given us. Any one have any other ideas on how to solve this? Would the OS upgrade be worth it?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Why does my iPad mini stop responding to wifi after a period of time?

Why does my iPad mini stop responding to wifi after a period of time?
For example, I can connect to wifi and use Safari and my iPad's interet capabilities with no problem. But if I then leave my iPad alone for an hour - when I go back to using it, it still shows as being connected to the wifi, but is unresponsive - i.e. web pages will not load etc. - I have to disconnect and reconnect to the wifi to make it responsive.
In advance, thanks

Try #5
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why does my ipad mini keep glitching. We keeps randomly doing stuff on its own while on not even touching it? I've tried restarting it by holding down lock and home button about a thousand times, it never works. so could you please help?? thanks(:

why does my ipad mini keep glitching!! /:

Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
BTW .... Copied from your first post ...
i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK.
