Every time I turn my computer on it starts freaking out. The mouse starts moving on its own along with windows coming up and moving off the screen. Also the windows get bigger on their own and the screen slides around like some one else is doing it.

I have checked for viruses, restarted it and nothing works. It doesn't do it all the time just most of the time now.

Try resetting your PRAM by restarting, then holding <CMD>+<OPTION>+p+r until you hear the start up chime twice, then release the keys and allow to boot up.
If that doesn't work try resetting the SMC:

If those two items don't help take your machine to your nearest Apple store and see if they can assist.

Why does iTunes delete my library every time I turn my computer on? All my music is still on my computer but when I open iTunes it comes up with the scan media page. I have to redo my playlists and it takes forever. Can someone help??

Every time I turn my computer on and open iTunes all my music is gone, if comes up with the scan media page, all my playlists have been deleted. All my music is still on the computer and in the files. I don't know why it keeps doing this, it's really annoying as I have loads of music and then have to do my playlists again just to sync my phone. Can someone please help??

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

My airport signal has a !... every time we turn on computer it kills the wireless signal... HELP!!!!

every time we turn on our macbook, on we see a ! in the airport icon up at the top of our computer... And every time we turn that computer on, it turns off the internet for out other mac... Can someone please help me? email me at [email protected]

First boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and then reboot again normally. The safe mode boot will take longer as it runs repair procedures during the boot.
If that fixes the problem I'd also update the system to the latest 10.9.4 via the OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update

_____'s Computer window open every time I turn my computer on...

Not sure this is the best forum for this question, but here goes...
Every time I turn my MacBook on, the "(name)'s Computer" window is already open and shows the network icon and the macintosh HD icon. Then, after I close my browser, there are sometimes several of these windows open all over my screen. I haven't been able to track a pattern of which web sites cause a new window to open, but this is just confusing. Any idea if it's a bug or a particular setting of my computer? I know others with this computer who don't have the same issue.

Hi,
Have you done things like fix the disk permissions (you can use Disk Utility) or used a program like OnyX to run the maintenance scripts? OnyX is freeware from Titanium Software. Here is a link
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
If you have tried all these, then you may need to try deleting Finder preferences com.apple.finder.plist or even just moving it to the desktop.
Hope this helps

HT4651 My safari crash every time i turn my computer on. what could be the problem

When ever i switch my imac on, and lauch safari browser it will crash and ask me to click reopen before it works. What might be the issue?

Have you exited Safari before performing a shutting down as a test, or are you allowing OS X to shut down and restart Safari for you? If not the former, then try that; exit, shutdown, and reboot. Sometimes the automatic restoration can get confused.
If that does not clear this up, then select Empty Cache and Reset Safari from the Safari menu, and see if that resolves this misbehavior.

What is the "messages agent" i am asked to sign into every time i turn on my Mac?

Why am I asked to log into "Messages Agent", "iCloudhelper", "addressbook agent", and "Calander" agent every time i turn my computer on?
how do I disable this?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Must reseat My x-fi express card every time I restart my computer

AMust reseat My x-fi express card every time I restart my computerW I am forced to reseat my x-fi express notebook card every time I turn my computer on in order for it to work which is very frustrating since I do a lot of video recording by Firewire and need the card to work reliably. Once i reseat it into the express slot, it works fine, but not before then.
I have a Dell XPS M730 running XP sp3.
It is apparently a driver problem because if I forget to reseat during bootup, both Sony Sound Forge and Adobe Premiere Pro .5 freeze up when I try to load them at they are scanning for audio devices.
So far I've tried:
1) disabling the on-board sound card hoping to eliminate a possbile confilct.
2. Downloading the latest drivers, etc.
Does anyone have an idea of how to solve the problem?
Thanks

1. If you log in automatically, a bug in some versions of OS X will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only known workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
2. If the selected Desktop picture is stored in an iPhoto library on an external drive, export it from iPhoto and move it to a folder on the startup volume. (Credit for this solution to ASC member janay.)
3. If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "TeamViewer" application can have this effect; see this thread. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
4. If you have a MacBook Pro with automatic graphics switching, disable it temporarily in the Energy Saver preference pane, set the Desktop picture, then restart the computer and re-enable graphics switching.
5. If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
          Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
          Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
          Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

Can i make a stock quote come up every time i turn on yahoo/m.firefox vs having to type it in every time? thanks.

I want to see immediately one stock every time I turn on computer on the first page. Can i do that? thanks

Hi mkhmann,
This might help you.
Go to yahoo and enter your stock quote. Set the link as your homepage , for example, http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT&ql=1 . Then, every time you open Firefox, it automatically loads the page.
To set homepage;
Tools -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts "Show my homepage" -> Homepage: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT&ql=1

My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent?

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate products designed to run on seperate products.

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going back to my pics and getting it back.
Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

Every time I turn on the Internet (3G or wifi) theirs an apple notification asking me to type my apple id password.

Every time I turn on the Internet (3G or wifi) theirs an apple notification asking me to type my apple id password. And this hapenes frequently( every time I open an application that requires Internet like safari, app store, iTunes...)

Try this out
Drag the folder Macintosh_HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration to the trash and then restart the computer.
Once the computer boots up, Click the blue apple and then select System Preferences and then select Network.
From the Show pop-up menu, choose Network port Configuration' (it would default to Network Status), then drag Airport in the table below to the top position
After that, from the Show pop-up menu, choose AirPort.'. Locate the pop-up menu next to "By default, join:" and choose 'A specific network'. Select your network and then a password (if required) and then click on the 'Apply now' button.
If you are still not connnected to the internet select your network from the airport icon on the right side of the menu bar
Reboot the machine to test whether this procedure fixed the issue
