Applications rearranging themselves after reset

OK here's a new one...for me anyway....  About 2 weeks ago I noticed apps on my 2nd and 3rd pages would now appear on the first page after a reset of my VZW Pre Plus.  Things like Mobile Hotspot and Google Maps that have stayed put for months.  I would move them back only to see them wind up back on page one later.  This was before 1.4.5.1 and is still happening after the update.
Is this happening to anyone else?  Does my Pre Plus need to see the Doctor?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)

First thing to do is boot into safe mode and see what happens. If it's OK then look for a third-party startup item.
Next try creating a new user account then logging into that account. If the problem ceases then you are probably looking for a login item.
Applications don't just start up on their own so there must be something installed that's doing the deed.

  • Applications open themselves after sleep

    So my Boss is the only person I know who's having serious issues with his Mac Book Pro. The newest problem is that, after waking the Mac from sleep mode, applications open themselves: iWeb, iMac, Mail, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Palm Desktop OS, Stuffit Expender, et cetera; they all open automatically.
    I already checked the start-up items (although these should not be started after waking up to begin with) and nothing shows. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

  • Safari 5 Top Sites Rearranging Themselves after Quitting

    Hello, all.
    The thread title sort of says it all. Since upgrading to 10.6.4 and/or Safari 5, my Top Sites will rearrange themselves every time I restart Safari. Specifically, two sites are removed from Top Sites and I have to manually add them again.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on fixing it?

    Greetings,
    Have you tried this:
    Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>TCP/IP.
    In the DNS Server window, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
    Next, do these things in order:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then repair permissions and restart Safari and see if the problem remains.

  • Applications not working after resetting macbook from external hard drive

    I installed Snowleopard a few weeks ago.  Everything was working fine, though a bit slow for a while, I figured it was just because I have had the computer for a while, but about a week ago it shut down and wouldn't restart.  It would go to the login page where i would type in my password but wouldnt log in to my desktop.  I did what apple suggested on their website and reset everything and restored my computer settings from the time machine backup on my external hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard with the install dvd.  Everything was seemingly back to normal, but now most of my applications are not functioning correctly.  I can't use isight with skype (though it works with photobooth), I can't import photos from my camera to iphoto, imovie won't even open (displays "imovie quit unexpectedly" and other things of this nature.
    Since seeing that multiple applications are not functioning correctly, I kind of figure that its not an isolated problem with just one application but maybe something wrong with my OS since I reinstalled it?  I've tried resetting my PRAM and NVRAM but that hasn't made any noticeable change at all.
    I'm about ready to give up and take it in somewhere to be looked at unless someone can give me some good advice on how I can fix it myself?  All suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks

    I realize this post is from quite some time ago, but it showed up as relevant in my own search to resolve this problem. So hopefully my answer will be equally visible and thus helpful.
    Select the movie file within iTunes (not the actual file(s) in the finder) and drag it to the desired location on your external hard drive. While doing so, you'll notice an indicator showing that you're in fact moving two files: the movie (m4v) file and the associated Extras (ite) file.
    The first time I attempted this process, I selected the files within the Finder and dragged them to the external hard drive. I was able to play the movie itself from this location, but the Extras wouldn't play. After spending a considerable amount of time searching for a solution I tried the afore mentioned and it worked.
    No promises, but hopefully this will work for some of you out there and save you some time and frustration.

  • Icons rearrange move after resetting / rebooting

    Every single time i reboot / reset my phone my icons rearrange / change order! how can i stop my phone from doing that? the older version OS didn't do that....it takes so much time to rearrange everytime i reboot, i am using the BB today plus theme .... i need this theme but don't want my icons moving everytime i reset phone...i have to reset phone constantly to delete messages that won't remove from home screen

    You can RE-Arrange each icon Individually by simply pressing the BLACKBERRY BUTTON then select MOVE and use the ball to Re-Arrange to where you like them ( Note this is done just on the phone itself the blackberry button is located to the right of the Green SEND button) Also make sure your NOT connected to the MEDIA MANAGER,DESKTOP or DEVICE Manager USB or BlueTooth.
    After the icons are set the way you like them connect the USB or BlueTooth with the Manager Program and perform a BACKUP.
    Now everytime you Restore or Backup again it will remain the way you placed them.
    Hope this helps

  • Apps / Icons Rearrange themselves after sync

    This has happened more than once and it is getting quite frustrating. I have over 80 apps and I like to have them organized by screen all "card games", "internet links", "gym", etc on one screen. It's getting to the point however that I don't want to sync my phone since it shuffles the order of the icons on ALL screens across all screens - IE. an app that was on the 10th screen may now be on the first screen. Shouldn't it keep this information when it SYNCs the phone? Do I need to click something on to have it keep my custom icon arrangement?

    Hi Kit,
    What version of iTunes and iPhone software are you using?
    You can check the version of the iPhone software by tapping Settings> General> About.
    You can check the version of iTunes by clicking iTunes(near the Apple)> About iTunes.
    If you haven't already updated to the latest software available, go ahead and update to iTunes 8.1.1 and iPhone software 2.2.1.
    If the iPhone and iTunes are already updated try resetting the iPhone. Just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons on the iPhone until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    If the issue persists after updating iTunes and the iPhone, try restoring the it. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

    How did the app from Trend Micros website gets into your iPod Touch?

  • Why do my Notification Centre widgets keep rearranging themselves after each restart?

    Hi,
    I've been using Yosemite for a while and I'm pretty happy with it, but recently, the Notification Centre widgets keep changing their order. This is quite annoying when you think you know where to look for something, only to realise your Mac has other ideas.
    Please could anyone advise why the order of my widgets keeps changing each time I restart my machine?
    Many thanks for any support you can give me.
    Best regards,

    On-going problem for most of us using Launchpad.  Purchased this app that has helped deal with this http://launchpadcleaner.com/.  It provides the ability to quickly restore your layout once you had it set up.

    I recently purchased FaceTime from the Application Store. After approx. ±10 meg, the application resets and starts downloading again. I have tried to download it at different times of the day but with the same results. I have been in contact with Apple support and have tried different options with the same result. I cannot download a new Version because in my Purchased List the applicaiton (FaceTime) is still there, and because I have halted it it tells me to resume. I can’t, because the same thing is going to happen. I have tried all the various troubleshooting tips supplied by my ISP and also Apple Support with no luck. I am currently working on a IMac OS 10.6.7. Has anybody got any ideas? Any suggestion would help. Thanks

    As I said, I tried everything what the manual says, but hard luck. I have taken an appointment for today, lets see what happens.
    Also there is no activity on unit when I use the remote. The unit is stuck on the first page itself where we have to choose the language. The unit seems to be fine to me but the real problem is remote does'nt have activity. The IR is not responding while pressing any of the button.
    Good luck with your appointment.
    Not much consolation but even new products can have issues and might need a trip to a store to return/replace.
    The reason i asked about the LED on the AppleTV is that occasionally it thinks it's paired with a specific remote and ignores others - the unpair keypress I described is quick and free.

  • Why are my applications that are assigned to specific desktops randomly rearranging themselves on other desktops?

    I'm on a late 2013 Retina 13" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and for some reason most of my applications assigned to specific desktops are rearranging themselves to other desktops.
    For example, I've created eight desktops. I've assigned Safari to appear on desktop three. While using Safari, when I swipe once from to left between desktops using my three fingers, I end up on desktop seven. It appears that Safari automatically reassigns it's self on desktop six. I swipe back to desktop three. From the dock, I find Safari and do a right click to have the application menu pop-up, I hover over options and assign Safari to "This Desktop" again. I begin using Safari, and if I'm unlucky, and I swipe from left to right I end up on desktop four.
    This happens constantly and it's become annoying. Is this a bug?
    For work, I use a late 2008 Non-Retina 15" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and that laptop has no issues.

    Right click (cntl click) the icon on the dock.  Select options and set "assign to" None, All or This desktop.

  • Applications keep relaunching themselves after quit

    Hi - wonder if someone can help. On one of my iMacs, some apps automatically relaunch themselves after I've quit them (this is nothing to do with restarting). I quit again, they relaunch. Multiple times. Then after a while, sometimes the quitting takes, and they don't relaunch. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • [SOLVED] How to unload any driver(dll) at the start up after reset??

    Dear Developers,
    Greetings!!!
    As, I am using AM335x BSP with WinCE 7. We have one vendor Wifi device and its binary images(driver installer). When we reset the target board, the modules do not reset and during the time of board booting, I found the following logs
    7771 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 Warning! Kernel DLL 'rwlpsdio.dll' is registered for thread creation/deletion notification. To improve performance if you dont need thread notifications call DisableThreadLibraryCalls from inside D
    7774 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 DriverEntry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    7777 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 SDIO not initialized, returning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    7778 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 OSAXST1: <<< Unloading Module 'rwlpsdio.dll' (0x9E438000) at address 0xA7C90000-0xA7D47000 in Process 'NK.EXE' (0x87FDFAD0)
    PB Debugger Unloaded symbols for 'rwlpsdio.dll'
    We conclude that when we reset the device, the driver is not unloading and that why, its not releasing the resource. 
    My motto to solve the issue by creating an application that run at every startup after reset and unload the driver. So, that during the time of loading it, it re-loads properly..
    I am searching it on google but unable to find any way so far.
    ASAP reply must be highly appreciated 

    Dear Developers,
    @balaji,
    As I had read the link https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/98aa5eca-0b38-4f6e-bf7b-81cb7068422e/sdio-wifi-driver-and-prefetch-aborts-problem?forum=winembplatdev
    And, in the above thread you were replying as 
    Hi Misbah,
    NdisMRegisterMiniport sure needs to be called from DriverEntry. Can you check if NdisRegisterAdapter is present. This ideally should be somewhere in your stream interface. 
    I am taking a wild guess here , perhaps you can may be introduce some delay in DriverEntry , so that the stream driver gets a chance to load?.
    e.g. you can use one of NdisWaitEvent functions.
    All the best.
    Regards,
    Balaji.
    As, per my knowledge, the DriverEntry is the first function that is called by ndis after loading the ndis.dll and it is responsible for registering the driver with NDIS by  using
    NdisRegsiterMiniportDriver.  
    Any how in my case, DriverEntry is called but the same function we are getting one error and that's why driver is not registered with NDIS.
    We are checking SDIO  interface status, either it is uo or not. If it is up then fine and if not then display warning and unload the driver.
    So, in my case, the SDIO status is not up after resting the device.
    Any suggestion will be appreciated????
