Classic Starts Up automatically at Login
Ever since I installed the software for my Canon scanner, classic automatically starts up when I log in. It is not marked to automatically start up in the preferences menu and no matter what I've tried, I can't get it to stop. I have to wait until the window opens and stop Classic from starting. It's so annoying, I'd love to fix it!
Any suggestions?
Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and check the list of startup items for your account; if any item requires the use of Classic, remove it from the list.

I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.
Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps -
Firefox 11 starts automatically at login - usual suspects eliminated
How do I stop Firefox 11 from starting automatically on login? It starts automatically on one of the user accounts on my less-than-week-old Mac Air (OS X 10.7.3) is started, but not the other. I have investigated the usual suspects and found none of them guilty:
1. The options associated with the icon do NOT have “Open at Login” checked;
2. The Login Items for this user does NOT include a Firefox entry;
3. Some have suggested a PopClip link, but I’ve not installed that;
4. Some have found Firefox installed in an old installation of TOR Browser/Vidalia, but I haven’t installed that either;
5. It is not an issue with the “Reopen windows when logging back in” option on the logout screen – it opens whether the box is checked or not and whether Firefox is open or not at logout;
6. System Preferences -> General -> “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps” is NOT checked.
Any ideas?When Firefox starts, does it load any particular URL? I'm wondering if some other app that starts on login is trying to open some URL, which triggers Firefox to start. You could verify this by changing your default browser to Safari and seeing if Safari starts on login instead of Firefox.

Classic starts up no matter what!!!
I rarely ever use classic unless someone gives me a document that has to be opened in it. I have it set to not start up automatically but it still does and it's really annoying. I've gone to system preferences and unchecked the box that says "start classic when you log in" and it still starts up every time. When I go to preferences it is still unchecked. I made this change on another computer of mine and Classic never starts up on that one unless I go and manually do it. This is driving me nuts so, if anyone has encountered this problem or knows how to solve it I would appreciate an answer. Thanks a lot.
YESSSSS!!! thank you so much! i went to the login items and there was some weird thing in there... not even checked to start up but i deleted it and now, classic doesn't start on it's own. I really appreciate your help a lot! Thank you!

ITunes starts up automatically
recently, my iTunes started starting up automatically. i read in an old archived forum to solve this problem just disable any iTunes widgets and that took care of the problem.
has anybody else had this problem? and why after using the widget for quite a while did it suddenly start doing this?
cheers
ibook Mac OS X (10.4.7) japanese OSI see that you "answered it", but here are a few tips for those who may be reading:
First: Check your login items! Open System Preferences (Applications folder), the click on accounts. Select your user account on the left, and click the "Login Items" tab. Whatever you see there will open upon boot, or more specifically, login to your account. You SHOULD see an item called "iTunes Helper", but make sure that "iTunes", the application, is not listed. If it is, select it, and click the "-" button below. You may need admin authentication (password), to remove login items.
Second: Check your iPod Preferences (if you have one). In iTunes 7, you select your attached iPod in the source list. On the "Summary" screen, you should see a bunch of check boxes at the bottom - one will read "Open iTunes when iPod is attached". Uncheck this box, and click apply. If you're using iTunes 6 or earlier, it's in the "General" pane of the iPod's preferences. You can access the preferenes by selecting the icon on the bottom left corner of the window, if I rememeber. It's also part of iTunes general preferences - just click the "iPod" tab.
You'll need to repeat this for every different iPod you attach to this machine, or if you restore your iPod.
Third: Go back to system preferences. You'll see a preference pane called "CDs & DVDs". Open it. This tells the Mac what to do when such a disc is inserted into the drive. Make sure that nothing says "Open iTunes".
If none of these work, you should try the age-old recomendations of verifying and repairing permissions (using Disk Utility: /Applications/Utilities), or zapping the PRAM. (Search Apple's support site using PRAM and your Mac model). If those don't succede, I bow to someone of greater knowledge.
I hope this may be of assitance to someone,

Oracle Services dont start - Auto services, different login
Hi Guys,
I have one query, is it necessary that user account who has installed Oracle when login only then oracle services will run?
I have created another user, who is added in following user groups -
Administrators,
Backup Operators,
Power Users,
ORA_DBA
When I login with user who has installed Oracle, then services start, but when I login as new user with above privileges services don't start on their own.
I have checked system log, application log, listener log there are no error messages.
Note : OS - Windows 2000 Server
Service - Automatic
No cluster, stand alone instance
IS there any dependancy of user login and services?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I got it.
But giving username and password in this option will make this service run only if that particular user logs in.Those credentials in the service properties have nothing to do with who is logged in to the console/desktop. The services run even if no one is logged in. Are they set for 'autostart'? - oh, now I see in your first message they are. So, since they are 'auto' started at machine startup, then who's credentials do you think they are using? They certainly aren't sitting around waiting for someone to log on to the console and start them up with HIS credentials!
There's something missing here you aren't telling us. Exactly which services are you talking about here? What are their names in the services control? If they are autostart, why are you trying to start them manually when you log on? Exactly what are you doing to try to start them when you log on?
>
Lets say there are 3-4 administrators and they want to login in this server, then in that case evert time they will have to login with the account who is registered in this option.
Worst will be case when any automated scripts are to be run.
I hope my concern is reflected in above lines.
Thanks!

Can I run xinit automatically on login?
The question's in the topic: Can I run xinit automatically on login by a normal user? Running xinit automatically starts Xfce, but I want to know if there's a way for that to happen automatically when I log in with a specific user (I've made a user specifically for Xfce only so I want that to run every time). Thanks!
How about the solution from the Wiki?

Safari used to start up automatically on initial boot...
I have to choose safari in the dock to show web window - I used to have it set so safari would start up automatically on boot up and window would appear - I can't remember what setting I made for it not to show the window automatically now and I want to put it back - can you help?
Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, find Safari in the list of login items for your account, and uncheck the Hide box.

VPN to connect automatically on login (using OSX client) ? ? ? ?
is there a way to make my VPN connection to connect automatically on login ?
(so its connects on startup)
im using Apple built in VPN client. . . .An application that is in the login items will bounce in the dock so how would expect a user not to know it is running.
As you can start n stop a vpn service via the command line you could configure a launchd process to start a script.
To easily create launchd processes you can use lingon
This hint Accessing a VPN (PPTP) via the command line could be used to write a bash shell script.
Or you could install a 3rd party command line vpn client see this hint Install vpnc as a replacement for the Cisco VPN client
This would be done in the background. -
Start X at console login with WM selection menu
I was using CDM and wanted to, optionally, start X at console login like CDM does but as a non root user, so I wrote a tiny script to do it:
#!/bin/bash
#xstarter.sh
WM_LIST=( ' ' 'Openbox' 'Antico' 'XFCE' 'Awesome' 'WMFS' 'I3' 'Subtle' 'Tinywm' 'Console')
TOTAL_WMS=9
#need to assign the $TERM comparison to a variable
#same goes for the console comparison
if [ $TERM == 'linux' ]; then
echo 'Please select one:'
for ((i=1; i<=$TOTAL_WMS; i++))
do
echo "$i. ${WM_LIST[$i]}"
done
echo ' '
read -n 1 choice
echo " "
echo "Your choice: ${WM_LIST[$choice]}"
if [ "${WM_LIST[$choice]}" != "Console" ]; then
xinit ${WM_LIST[$choice]}
fi
fi
exit 0
Just put it somewhere in your $PATH, make it executable and put the executable name in your .bash_profile like this:
[user@desktop ~]$ cat .bash_profile
. $HOME/.bashrc
PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin
fortune |cowsay
xstarter.sh
It would then start automatically when you log in to a tty. and display a rudimentary selection menu like:
/ Memory fault -- \
| core...uh...um...core... Oh dammit, I |
\ forget! /
\ ^__^
\ (oo)\_______
||----w |
|| ||
Please select one:
1. Openbox
2. Antico
3. XFCE
4. Awesome
5. WMFS
6. I3
7. Subtle
8. Tinywm
9. Console
9
Your choice: Console
[user@desktop ~]$
of course you would also need to update your .xinitrc to handel the arguments correctly:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
#exec openbox-session
#export DE=gnome
DEFAULT_SESSION=openbox-session
numlockx
xrdb load .Xdefaults &
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
nitrogen --restore &

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
Antico)
exec /usr/bin/antico-deluxe

exec /usr/bin/wmfs
Awesome)
exec awesome
I3)
exec i3
Subtle)
exec subtle
Tinywm)
lxpanel &
xcompmgr -cC &
exec /usr/bin/tinywm
exec $DEFAULT_SESSION
esac
of course it may be totally useless to everybody but me :) But I still thought I'd share it.I can login as a non root user but the X session starts with root privileges. Maybe it is designed to do so. I may take a look into it later.

Since iPhone 4.3.4, iTunes 10.4 doesn't start up automatically
Since I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.3.4, iTunes 10 v.10.4 no longer starts up automatically when I connect my iPhone, though "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" remains checked. iPhoto '11 v.9.1.5, however, still starts up automatically. I'm running OS X v.10.6.8.
thx. my IT guy told me about itunes helper which i verified was there in account preferences. but it didn't have an app icon, it was just a blank doc icon. also checked activity monitor to see if it was running or not. which it wasn't. then he fixed it so that it was repaired and showed up as an itunes icon, so it was working. reinstalled itunes and it launched when i plugged the iphone in. but the iphone still wouldn't show up in devices (in fact there was no DEVICES column to be seen).
when that didn't work, i got an old snow leopard disk and reinstalled 10.6 fresh. still didn't work. so he opened up preferences and found that there were A TON of extensions, apps, preferences that i really didn't need that were set up by my previous IT guy (e.g. growl, iclipboard, perian, etc etc etc). i honestly had no idea what they were. he elimintated them one by one until it was virtually clean. in the meantime, he went into the RAID utility app and performed redundancy verification and initialization tasks, and before those painfully long tasks even finished IT FINALLY WORKED! i finally have my iphone back. the huge lesson here for me is, when in doubt keep as a lean and clean system as you can! if you don't know what something is in your preferences, you probably don't need it! oh, and one added benefit, my system runs faster now! -
Classic starts up, apps won't...
I used the Classic environment successfully fairly recently, and I don't recall any major changes to my system. But just yesterday my wife told me she couldn't get Word to start up. So I tried myself and nothing worked in either of our accounts.
I thought it might be Word/M$, but none of the Classic apps would work, they all hang and require a force quit to shut 'em down. Also when starting Classic itself from the Sys Pref panel, it has hung once and always acts oddly (SBBOD, slow behaviour etc). I tried reinstalling OS9 from the packaged disc, but it installed "OS9 System Support" , the disc (for the mini) says 'OS9 install". I also checked the server and startup folders as mentioned here, but they are empty.
Don A. help...popeye,
does classic start up completely ? ie. can you start up a simple application like SimpleText ?
Or can you start Classic from the Advanced tab in the Classic System Pref with all extensions turned off ?
Can't remember if you're 10.3 or 10.4, but I seem to remember reading a lot of issues with classic under 10.4.1 and 10.4.2, resolved in 10.4.3. Although I bought Tiger at release, I've not installed it yet ( I'm in the middle, nearing the end thankfully, of upgrading from OS9 to 10.3. The OS upgrade was easy, upgrading and finding suitable replacements for older apps is a much harder task). So I can't provide a walkthrough.
Just humour me once, perform a Get Info on the Classic application. Does the Get Info report it as a 'Classic Application' ? -
I have a website I'm using very other on my company's Intranet, but it requires a username and password. I'd like to see if there's a way to automate the login credentials
Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long. -
Hi,
We have cluster with two hosts (Host01 , host02) replicated to another server (Replica01)
in order to test automatic failover to the replica server (Replica01) We unplugged the power cables from Host01 and Host 02
now the VMs on the replica server is still off , why don't the VMs start up automatically on the replica server?
Ramy Shakeroverall there is no automatic failover in Hyper-V
Of course there is. It's enabled by Failover Clustering. This is a totally separate technology from Hyper-V Replica.
There is no automatic start up in Hyper-V Replica because it is not designed to detect a split-brain condition where the same virtual machine is running in multiple locations simultaneously. The replica site has no way to know why it can't reach the primary
system anymore. It might just be because someone unplugged a network cable. If the primary's virtual machines are still running and the replica decides to spin up its copies, you will have many troubles.
