After a reboot some apps open up automatically
i have an ongoing problem where some apps/programs like safari, mail, stickies, messages etc. automatically open up at restart or new start.
i have to do a force quit to close them. and yes i keep unchecking the tab at shut down to say dont repoen.
i have 10:8:2 mountain lion. any ideas..?
In addition to borgeano's idea (a very good one) open System Preferences - Users & Accounts - Log-in items and see if the offending apps are listed. If they are then highlight them and click the - symbol at the bottom of the box to remove them.

All of a sudden, 2-3 apps just close immediately, but in one (Songbook) there are 300 files. What happens if I have to reinstall, will I lose the files
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons... -
Apps opening up automatically!
Every time I turn on my computer I have to close a plethora of windows I don't need. How can I stop this? F.Y.I. I already tried system prefences, users, login and unchecking that. I also tried system prefences, general, and unchecking the restore microsoft office each time box. I also tried clicking on the apps in the dock, option, and open at login is unchecked. What else can I do?
What windows?
Do you quit the applications prior to logging out? -
Hey I'm having a problem with my incredible opening up apps that I don't want open. I have the advanced task killer and because this has been such a problem I have it set to kill every app when the screen is turned off. But I'm still having this problem, but mainly after the updates when apps are just automatically installed on the phone. For example, apps such as skype, and slacker radio are always starting themselves and then I have all these apps killing my battery life. I've gone in to settings and force closed them and it even says that they won't start again until I open it but they still open. Any ideas of how to actually get this to stop??
Agreed!
1) Limiting the syncs helps (only my Google syncs) Unless preferred, try not to have your syncs scheduled every hour
2) Adjusting the Brightness low enough (auto bright causes the brightness to change often)
3) Properly exit/back out of apps (not all apps from the Market shut down on their own)
4) Disable Live Wallpaper (neat to look at but gets old after a day)
5) Only use necessary widgets (yeah, 7 home screens but just as easy going thru the app drawer)
6) WiFi off (when out of range or when you know youre only going to use 3G, turn off WiFi as it will constantly scan for available connections)
7) Bump Charging (not a fan, but it actually works)
What really helped me was using the Power Management widget ...not only does it provide easy access to turn off/on functions, but it also tells you whats running (GPS, WiFi, BlueTooth, Syncs, Brightness)
I will be the first to say its ridiculous that that phone requires so much babysitting, but with the processor and app happy users, it is sometimes necessary.
Hope this helps! -
Ever since I went through the update process for my Galaxy S4 to Kit Kat, 4.4.2, my phone is constantly running 40+ invisible processes that eat up most of the 2GB of ram. Needless to say, this is also causing my battery to drain 3 times faster or more than it used to prior to the update. I have Powersaving Mode turned on, constantly clear RAM and always double check to make sure I am not accidentally leaving any apps open. Additionally, my phone reboots itself at least once per day. NONE of this occurred before the 4.4.2 update. I am hoping someone here or from Verizon can possibly shed some light on the matter.
Hello CharlesDW,
Help is just a posting away! Let's get your device working properly. May I ask have you completed a reset after the update? I suggest this to resolve a the initial issues with the update. Here's a link on how to do so. As always, we suggest backing up your info before the factory reset.

Yesterday (april 22) I install the last Security Update 2014–002 from the Mac App Store. After rebooting the computer, I haven't been able to run some apps I use frequently, such as Boom Device, Dropbox, Google Drive, wich didn't show in the menu bar anymore and don't run even when clicking on their icons; or apps like Audacity (open source sound editor), All2mp3 (sound files converter to mp3); and other apps bought from the Mac App Store, as Funtastic Photos. This problem affects even applications as Word, Excel and Powerpoint... I think the problem has reached it's highest levels and I would like to know what can I do in order to reverse my iMac to a "normal" life... I should say that I haven't had any problems with any of the several Web Browsers I commonly use...
I have the sam problem with Firefox and Word. Annoying, please help me. Word does not open at all(still Excel and Powerpoint do, Firefox get a lot of problems, and shuts down.

Problem: this mac is not reading an excell file after upgrading to yosemite. My Mac is from 2009, it use to work perfectly but it wasn´t able to open some apps, thats why i upgrade it. Now it once i donwload the zip it appears with an ".ods" extension

If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice. -
Some apps won't open after OS X Mavericks update
After the update to OS X Mavericks, some apps won't open on my macbook pro. That include things like preview, boot camp assistant, from what I've tried so far. When I click on those from applications menu or from the spotlight search, the icon appear on the dock very briefly(like 1 sec) and nothing happened after that. Based on the internet search, I tried the Disk permissions repair and didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi aung.24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting for "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" from this article:

I have purchased some app's like Whatsapp, Flashlight and more from App Store and after about 3 days of usage, all refuse to open up. I have received acknowledgement of payment via email. What should I do to reinstate them?
BRAWO!!!! It solves the problem.
Just hope that i would not be forced to download free Apps every thir day.
Here by us in South Africa, downloads is costing one.
Anyhow, thank you once more. -
After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?
The problem Apps may need to be updated. Or maybe your iTunes account needs to just update itself on your iPhone. To do this, install a free App from the App Store on your iPhone. Tap App Store app on iPhone, select and install a free App. When that is done try the problem Apps to see if they work OK again.

Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?
Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Curve 9360 won't install apps! Just automatically reboots after 'installing' and hasn't done it..
Blackberry Curve 9360. New device received yesterday after water damage to my old one. I upgraded to the latest OS and AppWorld yesterday and everything has worked absolutely perfect. Except every time I try and install or upgrade an app it reaches the end of the installation bar then reboots itself and when I look after the reboot I find the upgrade or app hasn't been installed. It does this with every app I try and install. I've tried working on just Wi-Fi or Network and it makes no difference. Can anyone help? has anyone had this before? Incredibly frustrating considering I've just got a new one back!!!
Thanks!Hey ChrisWatkins93,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
How much free memory is on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone? Go to Options>Status to find this information.
To determine if this a operating system issue, I suggest following all the steps in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Then test out BlackBerry App World™ afterwards to see if the issue is resolved.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Like I said, I downloaded some Apps onto this Imac. When I try to use them it says that they were purchased on another computer. That said, I don't have another computer. It will then ask for my to sign in with my apple id and password. When I put those in, it says that the computer can not be verified. Contact apple support. I don't have apple care and can't exactly afford to buy it at this time. Anyone know how to resolve this issue??
Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.
