Airport disk transfer stops apps from opening

I have an Airport Disk and if I'm transferring something to the disk no applications will open while the transfer is going.
Say I start a copy of a file and then try open System Preferences. System Preferences will bounce in the dock constantly until the transfer is finished or until I cancel it.
Apps that are already running will continue to work perfectly fine, but new apps won't open.
Is anyone else having this issue?

AJA Kona have a utility for testing disk speed. It's pretty good. Enable network volumes from preferences.

  • How do i stop apps from opening on start up

    I have a new Macbook Pro.  Every time I power up, many applications open as well.  Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and iMessage, etc. How do I stop these applications from opening every time i turn my computer on?

  • Is the missing disk image stopping me from opening my software?

    I just downloaded the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, and the file appears to be there. However when i try to open it, it comes up with a window saying, 'Warning, the following disk images couldn't be opened' it then lists the image as some kind of code and the reason as 'error -4960'
    Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I need this software asap so any help would be appreciated.

    If i am not wrong, i think your are getting this error on your MAC as this is a known issue on the apple community. According to the Apple support forums, error -4960 means your download may have been interrupted due to some reason.
    So, uninstall the Adobe download Assistant and try to download the same using a different browser like Chrome or Firefox and then check.
    You may also get the direct download link for PS CS5.1 from the below link.

  • How can I stop apps from opening automatically on start-up?

    I liked Snow Leopard better.  When I quit, all the apps went away, and the new start-up was clean.
    Lion forces me to wait for each app to open, unless I took the trouble to close it before shut down.
    I turned Settings > General > Restore... off, but it doesn't help.

    IF you want it (Resume) off system wide, there  are a couple of tweaks possible; here is one I have been using successfully since August:
    Go to (now hidden) User Library (hold down Option key while going to "Go" in menu bar. Once Library is open, scroll down to Saved Application State folder. Open folder and trash all contents. Do a get info (Command + I keys), unlock lock at bottom of window, input admin password, scroll up and tick the "locked" option. Lock the lock at the bottom and you're done. With the folder locked, nothing can be written to it.....
    I still make it a practice though to properly quit all applications. Since I've never worked with Windows, I've always been used to Cmd+Q any app I'm done with instead of just closing the window as it is practice in Windows. I do that because it has always been Mac OS behavior to open up automatically whatever window that was open when you shut down or restarted.

  • How do I stop apps from opening multiple files?

    When I open a file in many applications (usually by double clicking), the app opens a number of recent files which I then have to close.  I wish to only open the file I'm interested in seeing.

    The OS will restore any files that were open when you Quit the Application previously.
    If you don't want that to happen, check the Close windows when quitting applications checkbox in the General System Prefs.
    Or, you can quit an app with cmd-opt-Q which will close all the windows before quitting.

    How do I stop the Mac Store App from opening upon startup of my Mac Book Pro?  It will not let anything else open and then it stalls when I try to close the window.

    Hi r,
    It sounds like you're running Lion?
    Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
    Have you tried running Repair Permissions?
    Do you have at least 15% free space available on your HD?

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?

    How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?  I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)

    One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
    An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys. 
    When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q. 

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.
