Can I have an application load on startup in osx 10.7.5

I have a macbook pro running osx 10.7.5   On old systems I used to be able to put applications in a startup folder so that they would launch automatically on startup - or at least I think I did.  I can't see a way of doing that now.  Can anyone help.  I'm using ClamXAV antivirus and want it to launch when I start my laptop but I can't see any way to make that happen.

I do have ClamXav Sentry set up as you say but I guess what was concerning me was that although that's so and the box is ticked for launch, there is no indication on the screen (as far as I can see) that it is running.  I guess I thought there would be some icon, as there is when ClamXav itself is open.  Because there was nothing to show that it was running I figured I must need to do somehthing else.
The Sentry Icon appears in the menu bar. The ClamXav Sentry Overview shows what it looks like and the meaning of the animation. You can control certain aspects of Sentry by clicking on the menu Icon.
I did think that there were viruses for Mac now but obviously I got that wrong too.
Although OS X viruses seem to be a thing of the past, there has been significant other types of OS X malware and will undoubtedly be more in the future. Thomas has a good summary of all this in his Mac Malware Guide. Since you are running OS X 10.7, as long as it's fully up-to-date, you are completely protected against all currently known malware that could impact it. Should you be able and elect to upgrade to Mountain Lion, there is enhanced protection against future infections provided by the GateKeeper process.
Along these same lines, if you don't need Java, don't install it. If it's already installed, keep it up to date and disable Java (not JavaScript) in all your browsers and enable it only during the periods you need it to access features on a web site you must use.

    Mac OS X Mountain Lion supports multitasking like cbs20 mentioned. Just like MS Windows just press alt+tab to switch to whatever applications you have open.
    Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
    Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.

  • Can't get Servlet to Load On Startup

              I am trying to get a servlet to run at startup, and I have put the xml below in WEB-INF/web.xml to make this happen, but it is not working. The servlet does not run at startup.
              Anybody have any idea what the problem is?
              <servlet>
                   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
                   <servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-class>
                   <init-param>
                        <param-name>properties</param-name>
                        <param-value>./WEB-INF/cocoon.properties</param-value>
                   </init-param>
                   <load-on-startup/>
              </servlet>
              <servlet-mapping>
                   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
                   <url-pattern>*.xml</url-pattern>
              </servlet-mapping>
              ALSO, The servlet in this case is the Cocoon servlet, and the reason I am trying to get it to run at startup is because in my application I am calling it from another servlet, instead of through a direct call to an *.xml file, and so it requires a direct call to Initialize the Cocoon Engine. So, if anyone knows anything about how to solve this problem, that would also be helpful.
              Thanks.

  • How can i have aperture restart loading pictures from my camera.  2 weeks ago aperture was perfect.  thursday aperture stopped loading new pics from the same camera.  have done library rebuilds and permissions to no avail.  about to trash aperture.

    How can I get aperture to restart loading pictures from my camera?  2 weeks ago; my camera (nikon D60) and aperture worked well together.  last saturtday Aperture would not upload some new photos taken that day.  I recieved an error message stating the photo files were not uploaded.  The apple store staff was no help at all this time( they usually are very good)  should i delete/trash the app and start over?

    A bit confusing if the import window never opens, yet you receive a message that states the photos were not imported. Maybe being a little more step by step will help us figure this out:
    You plug your camera into your computer using a USB cable.
    Either Aperture is already open, or it opens automatically when you plug the camera in, or you open Aperture.
    You click on the Import button? But the import window doesn't open?
    This is where it is getting hazy for me. I'm assuming either the import window opens automatically or you click the import button. Either way you say that Aperture indicates that your camera is present and again, I'll have to assume you mean that it is present in the import window...
    Do the thumbnails from the camera appear? Are you able to check the images you would like to import? When you click the import button is when you receive the message that Aperture did not import the images?
    Let us know what is going on so we can get a better understanding. Thanks.
    Thank's for the respones.  Found out that Aperture runs great on at least 2 gig of ram.  Just installed 4 gig.  All of my issues have vanished.  Moving on the the next day.

  • How can i have different applications windows side by side

    Hi,
    For some reason whenever i'm using an application, lets say Chrome, only the windows of chrome would show on the screen. If I want to move to some other app like terminal, the windows of chrome would dissappear and only the windows of terminal would shop up, so basicially I can't multi task between different applications windows...
    What's the deal?
    How can I fix this?
    using macbook pro late 2008, OSX Lion 10.7.3

    im surfing on chrome and have a word document open. Lets say i want to put the chrome windows next to the word window, I simply cant do that because it only shows me the windows of the app im on. Only chrome, only word etc.
    Furthermore If Im on chrome and trying to move to some other open apps using mission control, it would only show me that chrome is open!

  • HT5019 MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Can I have more than one application displayed at a time?

    With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.
    I am using the HDMI and the mini HDMI connectors.

    Hi LeoSun,
    I dont exactly how to start this is as a window service, but if your requirement is just to start your application when the machine boots,
    then you can create a shortcut for ur webstart app, using the jnlp tag <shortcut>
    then add this shortcut to your windows startup folder.

  • Application Loader stuck on "authenticating with the iTunes store"

    I am trying to submit my app through iTunes Connect. I have been stuck on "authenticating with the iTunes store" for more almost 20 mins. Is this normal? Is something wrong?
    I have been following the Adobe Step-By-Step Guide to Publishing iPad Apps and everything went smoothly through to the DPS App Builder. I was able to download both the developer app .ipa and the distribution app .zip following the steps fine. But all steps thereafter are useless: iTunes Connect's interface has changed since the Adobe guide was made, and now I am completely lost.
    I have downloaded Application Loader and I am attempting to submit this developer app .zip I have to iTunes Connect through Application Loader. But to no avail.
    Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

    After half an hour of waiting, I cancelled the upload in Application Loader, and I was prompted with this error: "the app references non-public selectors in viewer.app/viewer: consume:"
    What should I do? Thank you
