Disable re-opening of Apps

Hi, I facing a problem since i got the MacBook Pro OS X Lion. Whenever i turn on my Mac, all the apps which i didn't quit before shutting down my Mac, opens automatically. For ex: Mozzila, Finder, iTunes, Skype, iChat, Mail, VLC etc. etc. .I'm irritated of this because i always need to close all thee apps again and again. How to DISABLE this?

First, when you shut down, there's a checkbox in the confirmation window:
Uncheck that.  Note that you will have to uncheck it every time, and that hitting the space bar should uncheck it.
Also, note that Apple recommends that you not shut down unless you're going to be away from the machine for several days.  Shutdown/startup cycles evidently stress the hardware more than leaving it on.  Put it to sleep instead, and it'll use very, very little power, but be ready to go at a moment's notice when you need it without needing to wait for startup...  and it'll stress the hardware less.

  • IWork 2.2 (iOS) disables "Use iCloud" option on opening the app???

    After updating the the latest iWork apps (v2.2) there were no documents that were previously there...
    I checking icloud.com and all the documents were still in existence. I finally discovered that the "Use iCloud" option in the settings for each of the apps had been disabled. I re-enabled it, but every time I re-opened the app it was disabled again!
    Anyone else experiencing this and any workaround?

    You are right, Hulu, that important bit of information is not even mentioned on the GarageBand Help page:  Use iCloud with GarageBand
    The document only mentions, that iCloud for GarageBand will have to be enabled. And it is really not obvious, that the "Sync Documents and Data" needs to be active to, or your iPad will not sync GarageBand projects, because no application data will be synced at all.

  • Why is 'bookmark all tabs' disabled when multiple pinned app tabs are open?

    I have 6 or so tabs open as 'App tabs', and no normal tabs.
    I was expecting to be able to 'bookmark all tabs' so I can open my app tab configuration next time I start Firefox.
    But the 'Bookmark all tabs' menu item is disabled.

    It would still be nice to bookmark all open App Tabs. I use one window for App Tabs and others for random browsing. If for some reason I accidentally close the App Tabs window before I close the others, I have to manually re-establish the App Tabs window because it doesn't restore them.

  • Gatekeeper disabled and still won't open my app

    Hope someone can help me with this. I downloaded blender (a free 3d software compatible with 10.8) I disabled gatekeepr switching to allow application downloaded from anywhere and still doesn't open the app, I tried the right-click open the control+open nothing. Same situation with a demo version for video plugin for final cut and motion and same result. I try to open same software with a mac mini (os 10.6.8) no problem at all.
    Please please can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

  • How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

    These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari.  I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images.  Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future.  Jumpscare.
    aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time.  This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

    When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
    If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

  • Double click on Dock to open an app?  Seems a change from 10.6.8.

    Is it now necessary to double click on an icon in the Dock to open an app?  When did this change get made?  I find it more inconvenient compared to the single click on 10.6.8.  But then again I found 10.6.8 more convenient in general.  Hated losing virtual desktop grid and Back to My Mac.

    Thanks for poking me to look at the console logs! That led me to find the error message:
    App Store[762] <Error>: CGBitmapContextGetBitsPerComponent: invalid context 0x112f90060
    Which in turn pointed me to https://discussions.apple.com/message/15431640#15431640
    Renabling Spotlight (see http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/10/disable-or-enable-spotlight-in-mac-os-x-lion/ ) allowed the App Store to work again!
    Just why the App Store requires Spotlight to work is beyond me.

  • I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

    Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
    I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

    Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
    The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
    But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
    You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
    Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
    # "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
    # "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
    # "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
    ''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
    The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
    '''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
    to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
    Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
    it does not necessarily close Firefox .
    The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
    File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
    In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X
    * '''Firefox hangs''' | Troubleshooting | Firefox Support <br>http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit
    Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
    If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
    '''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
    :Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
    Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

  • Opening Mail.app also opens iCal

    This is really strange. When I open Mail.app on my MacBook, iCal launches as well.
    Not sure why, but this started yesterday. I did a bunch of installation yesterday including installing Virtue Desktop, Parallels and WinXP. Not sure if that is related.
    I also enabled mach_inject for my account and then disabled running these commands:
    sudo niutil -appendprop "/" "/groups/procmod" "users" `id -un`
    and then later removing with this:
    sudo niutil -destroyval "/" "/groups/procmod" "users" `id -un`
    Not sure if that's related either.
    Anyone have any clue why this might be happening?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Did you also install MailTags?
    If so, that explains it. MailTags interacts with iCal for setting up todos. I've included a preference setting to control this however -- go to mailpreference and select the MailTags prefs - (may have to click >> on right. Select the iCal tab.

  • Why system alarm sound when opening an app on my MBP 13"?

    Recently started to hear system alarm sound when opening an app., eg. Mail, Safari (usually from the Dock). No apparent operational problem, but quite annoying, especially since I don't know why. Happens on my 13" MBP, but not on my iMac, both running ML 10.7.4.
    Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk both OK.
    Any clues from anyone??

    Disable: Play user interface sound effects in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
    If that doesn't make a diffeence, check your Dashboard widgets.
