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!

Numlockx will not start automatically no matter what

First off, I am running Archlinux 64 and I have setup numlockx many times without any problems. This time however I cannot get it to start automatically when I startx. I have it listed in my ~/.xinitrc before my desktop enviroment;
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec xterm
xscreensaver -no-splash &
numlockx &
# exec startxfce4
exec openbox-session
# ... or any other WM of your choosing ...
I even tried putting it in my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file:
## Run the system-wide support stuff
#.$GLOBALAUTOSTART
(sleep 2 && nitrogen --restore) &
# Programsms that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && tint) &
(sleep 2 && conky) &
(sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox) &
(sleep 2 && gnome-settings-daemon) &
(sleep 2 && numlockx) &
(sleep 4 && amixer sset Front 90% unmute && espeak -ven -s145 "Welcome Master. I am here to serve you. It is `date +%H` `date +%M`.") &
If I run it manually, it works perfectly.
Any ideals?
Thanks
BTW Everything else autostarts just fine.

My mac won't start up no matter what

So basically, I tried to download the new leopard on my mac and then since it took so long I tried to quit it. Then I restarted my mac a lot and like, it just screwed up and won't log in or anything after I restarted. The cd won't eject. It just stayed on the gray screen with the apple icon and the spinning pinwheel. I left it like that for a week or so. Then one day I turned it on and the cd popped out but it was still on the gray screen.
But it's been about 1 MONTH and it still won't work. It's still always on that stupid gray screen with the apple icon. Please someone help me!!!!!!
thanks in advance.

Interrupting an OS install is likely to end up with no workable OS, new or old, left on the drive. Have you tried booting from your OSX CD and repairing the drive with Disk Utility? You can also try starting up in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and then restarting in normal mode if that works.

Fcp won't start up, No Matter What I Try

FCP hops once on the dock as I click it, then sits like a lame duck. Tried all the usual stuf, prefs, plugins, new account. So far zippo. Am installing from disc now, not much hope thugh. A small disaster.
Anyone?

If you've already tried the usual suspects then a full Final Cut Studio uninstall first (using FCS Remover), maybe followed by a Safe Boot and Permissions repair for good measure then reinstall Final Cut Studio ... if nothing else it will make you feel like you are doing something!
Good luck

Can't get rid of prohibitory icon no matter what I try

Every time I try to start up, no matter what technique I use -- 10.3 System disk startup, Command S, x, the darned thing keeps giving me the prohibitory icon. All peripherals are removed.
It was working fine a few hours ago. What appeared to preceed it was having a problem with Word 2004, which kept freezing on me. I uninstalled and re-installed several times without getting it to work.
What the heck can I try now?

Hi marigold
Have you seen these Apple articles on prohibitory sign/ Start Up difficulties?

When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic. When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings. However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439. No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy. Anyone able to solve this one?

Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.

This wont solve your problem. but is very helpful in troubleshooting.
It would also help, if you can state

My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
•OS X: About kernel panics:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
•Resolving Kernel Panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
•Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
Good luck & happy computing!

Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

How do I eliminate this glitch? Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!

Just recently my iPad started to get lazy on me I'll go on a website and it has trouble moving through the different applications within it. It has nothing to do with the wifi because it's doing it no matter what wifi it is using at the time.

Attn: macbook pro won't start up past grey screen NO MATTER WHAT

my macbook pro won't start up past the grey screen, NO MATTER WHAT I DO. i've searched all the discussions on this, and NOTHING WORKS. nothing caused this either - i was just browing the internet and using ichat, and my computer shut down, and that is when this started.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed with this bullstein. My computer works great, etc., and I support mac and apple to the nth degree, but then some stupid crap like this happens and I can't use my computer at all. I have to use my sister's **** ibook g3 to even do this.
PLEASE HELP. do NOT post what you have already posted in the other discussions, and i've already been welcomed to the boards. I can't go to an apple store because i'm on vacation in new mexico for the summer, and there no stores anywhere near here. is there any real advice around here? I need to use my computer. That is why I spent close to $4,000 for it with upgrades and software.

where can i get an install disc for the macbook pro?
You really need to use the one that came with your MBP. If you don't have it, a retail Tiger OS X disc should work.
also, could an archive/install potentially free up some harddrive space on my computer?
No, it will actually use more space, so you will need at least 6G of free space. To clean your hard drive, use WhatSize.

In the home page setting you need to use a pipe (|) symbol as separator.
See [[How to set the home page]]
You can also create or modify a Firefox desktop shortcut and add the two URLs to the target field of that shortcut.
In that case you need to separate the URLs with a space.
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://site1.com http://site2.com

My PSE12
will only type CAPITAL letter no matter what font I choose. Started doing this yesterday and I can't get back to having upper and lower case letters.

Perhaps you could reset the tools using this method:
1) Launch PSE in Editor Mode
2) click on the Expert Tab
3) At the bottom right corner look for something like this :
This should solve the problem quickly.
Good luck and post back.
