App. automatically launches, but not listed in accounts/startup items
I have a pesky application which automatically launches on start-up, yet it's not listed in accounts/startup items. It's called Microtek scanner finder. I seem to remember it started doing it when I originally got the scanner and installed software, and although it's always niggled I didn't mind when I was using the scanner. However, I'm not using the scanner anymore so want to be rid of it in my dock. Where the heck is it coming from? I don't want to chuck all the software as there may be an occasion where I need to scan a transparency, when I'll need to get the old scanner down from the loft... any ideas? It definitely launches as there is a little black triangle beneath the icon in the dock. If I quit it, it disappears but is back there again on another start-up grrrrr.
Hi, Kathykate. I have a similar Epson Scanner Monitor application that starts up each time I restart my computer. (Mine does appear in Sys Prefs > Accounts > my account > Startup Items, so I could delete it from there if I wanted to.) It runs all the time in the background, using a tiny amount of CPU and memory, and it has no user interface at all: If I quit it, nothing visibly changes, and if I open it again, there's no visible sign that it's open (including no icon in the dock for it). Its only function is to detect my Epson Scanner when I plug it in and turn it on. I ignore it the rest of the time, because whether it's running or not has no impact whatsoever on anything I do. I suggest that you take the same attitude toward your Microtek app.

I receive the error "this apple id is valid but not an icloud account" when I try to open icloud on my pc. Help.
Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud. This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account. The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account. It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync. -
Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app? I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.
As an example, I'm going to my email in safari, while I wait for it to load, I open an excel document, and the OS decides excel should be the front app, so I go back to safari so I can enter my login info, but halfway through my password the OS decides that excel is where I should finish typing my password.
VERY ANNOYING. Can I open apps in the background?Thank you everyone for the suggestions. J D, I'm not a terminal fan, but I'm sure it works. I found a solution that I can use in the dock from another post.
Annoyed by Mac OS
Works great and allows me to maximize those multitasking minutes. -
Release is certified, but not listed in windows store
Hi
I updated my app and it was approved and certified on the 12/2/2015. I had a email with a link
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/islide/51ebbb45-ff17-4c4c-80fe-f9abef20f05b
to my app but when I click on this, my app has been removed. On the dashboard it says my app has admin suspended next to it and a notification Release is certified, but not listed in windows store.
I have tried the support pages but I cannot see where I can submit a support ticket and all the links pages cannot be displayed?
How can I get my app listed on the store?
Many thanks.Hello,

When I try to log in to iCloud I get a message that my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account.How do I log in?
Hi reswaikiki,
Usually if it says your Apple ID is not an iCloud account, that means you have not yet enabled your Apple ID as an iCloud account. So you did set it up correctly on your iPod touch?
If not yet, please see Set up iCloud on all your devices.

Icloud says my apple id is good but not an icloud account?
I have an apple id/account but icloud says it is apple id but not an icloud account...?
To use iCloud, first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.
You cannot create an iCloud account from a Windows PC. -

Go to the 'Go' menu in the Finder and hold down the option key to reveal the Library. Then navigate to library > preferences > system configuration and drag the 'Networkinterfaces.plist' file to the trash and restart for mac. Now try again. -

Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone
How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
Please assist.If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

I downloaded icloud because some of my music files got deleted, and I was hoping to be able to re-download them if I installed icload.Supposedly you can use your Apple ID to sign. Now when I try to sign in with my Apple ID, I keep getting a prompt saying that my ID is valid but not an icloud account. So how do I register if I can't sign in?
You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

When I go to log onto iCloud using my Windows 7 and it asks for my login information, I get the error saying my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account?
I don't have any apple products personally, this is for work to use Photo Stream so when Superintendents & Project Managers take pictures of their construction site, I am able to have those images immediately.
Thank youYou can not create an iCloud account using a PC, you will need an Apple product. Once the account exists you can logon to it from a PC.
