my imac on my desk doesnt to this why my macbook?

The MacOS folder is normally inside an Application Package. It looks like maybe you have an app set to open in your Login Items, but it isn't actually launching, just opening the enclosing folder. I can't tell what app that is.

I use Apple Mail and dislike Outlook. If I create a note in Apple Mail, move it to desktop for easy access and then open the note, it opens in Outlook. How do I stop Outlook from opening? Do I need to uninstall Outlook? Will it disrupt other software?

Open Apple Mail, and open Preferences (under Mail in the Menu Bar). On the General tab, check the "Default Email Reader" and set it to Mail (6.6).

FINDER WINDOW OPENS UP AFTER STARTUP !!!!

Hi all i seem to be having a problem that was not happing before I installed the
Latest Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) update. Here is the problem when I startup
The system and log on after the desktop shows up a finder window opens
To the top level in other words it opens my computer showing the drives
Net and devices it never did this before it does this every time now, ok
Now lets talk about what other people have done about this problem
It would seem that some of these solutions worked for some and Did
Not for other in other words it not all the same problem or solution.
1. Delete the finder pref plist did not work!
2. Check user login startup items no there was not any items in there that
Would cause this!
3. I also checked to see if it was a wallpaper problem that did not work!
4. And no I did not have any windows or app’s running when I shutdown
The system.
So I have had no luck with this problem oh here some more info
I have two Mac systems and they are both doing the same thing
Now both have the same os version slash updates
One system is Mac Book Pro the other is a Mac Pro

it shouldn't be blank... it should look something like this:
finderinfo[0]: 164 => Blessed System Folder is /System/Library/CoreServices
finderinfo[1]: 510937 => Blessed System File is /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty
finderinfo[3]: 0 => No alternate OS blessed file/folder
finderinfo[4]: 0 => Unused field unset
finderinfo[5]: 164 => OS X blessed folder is /System/Library/CoreServices
note the *finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty*
if this is the case for your system (including other mounted volumes) then it must be a separate issue.

Print Screen Opens on Page Immediately - How do I stop it?

Hi,
First I'd like to thank blarman74 and Andy because I worked off of the information on this thread:
Autoprint Print Friendly Page
Autoprint Print-Friendly Page
I created a Button: URL call to javascript:PrintPopup()
I put this code in the report's HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintPopup () {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2004:&SESSION.::::::YES';
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=900,height=1000");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
And in the report's Region Footer I put this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
Now, here is the problem. When I first open page 2004, the print screen opens immediately. I have to close it before I can see page 2004. Then I click the button with the URL call and the printer friendly page opens with the print screen on top. This part is good. That works beautifully.
How do I stop the print screen from opening when I first open page 2004? I figure there is some setting I am missing or perhaps a piece of code somewhere.
Thanks,
Maggie

You could put the winpopup code in the footer of the printerfriendly template.
#FORM_CLOSE#</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
I then have a navigation bar which has:
target type: A page in this application
&APP_PAGE_ID.
And printer friendly check box checked.
You can then print the current page from the navigation bar.
I don't use a button, but essentially you just want your action to be performed when the button is submitted.

When I close Firefox another Firefox browser opens. WHY and how do I stop this?

Every time I close Firefox another Firefox browser opens. Then I close that one and it stays closed. How do I stop it from opening a new Firefox browser on it's own?

Is it possible that you actually have two Firefox windows open and Windows 7 is showing one Firefox on the System task bar, but if you were wave mouse over that, you might see two windows.
To Close Firefox use File > Exit (Alt+F > Exit)
and not the X in the upper right corner which only closes the Window and may or may not close Firefox if it is the last window. The reason it does not always close Firefox is that there may be other tasks running so you don't see Firefox anywhere but in the System Task Manager on the Processes Tab which is where you can see if firefox.exe is running or not. Shortcut to Task Manager on Windows 7 is Ctrl+Shift+Esc (for other Windows systems Ctrl+Alt+Del , select Task Manager,...)

Lovoo app by k2g media ltd is spam advertising and keeps opening the App Store, how can I stop it

How can I stop this app from hijacking safari.

It is the site you are going to.
The advertising they are using is giving safari a URL for the App Store, causing safari to open the App Store.
Stop going to the site using this kind of advertising, it will stop happening.
I had this is issue with a Mac news site.
I stooped going to their site, it stopped happening.
I also used the contact us link on their site to tell them I was leaving and why.

Finder resets itself to default local folder when I delete a folder from a server. How can I stop this?

Hello there,
At work I use a Mac Pro (like this one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-2008-s pecs.html)... and I have a very weird problem that is really annoying.
I don't have the information (but I can get it tomorrow) on the operating system or any information of the server I am having the issues with. But I was hoping maybe some one else with the same issue might have the answer without all of that information.
We use the server to access, open, edit, save, delete, move, etc... all of the files we are currently working on. No files are ever transfered to our local computer's hardrive and then copied back to the server (don't ask me why, and don't tell me to do that, this is how it's done in the office, and this is what I have to do)...
The issue is this. When I have to delete a folder from the server, which is usually a folder within a folder, and maybe within another folder, and another, and another (meaning it takes me time to look for this), the Finder deltes the folder (and asks if I am sure I want to delete it, because it will be deleted forever since I am deleting it from the server)... and when I say yes, the Finder window that I am currently on (the folder which contains the folder that I am deleting) reverts back to the initial "device-folder" for my local mac pro... meaning the folder which is the main folder of that mac pro, where I can see the mac pro's hard drive, any external hardrives, any usb pen drives, any cds, etc...
So EVERY TIME I delete a folder on the server, which is more than 30 times a day, I get "kicked out" of the foler which contains the folder to be deleted, and gows back to tha "main" folder of my computer, so I have to go back to the server, back to the folder, and sometimes it is a folder, within a folder, within a folder, etc, etc, etc, ... and don't tell me the solution is to create a shortcut on my sidebar for that folder, because the folders are the jobs that I may be working on that day, so I could work on as many as 30 different folders per day, and I do have those in my sidebar, but it is still pretty annoying to have to go back to that folder.
One thing I noticed... SOMETIMES, not all the times... IF I delete two folders instead of one, it won't do it... or IF I drag the folder to the trash, instead of clicking on my "delete" icon on my finder's toolbar, it won't do it... but this is only SOMETIMES. So these are not the solutions either.
I can try to get a screen cap tomorrow of the issue, but if anyone has this same issue and knows how to fix it, plese let me know.
I will also try to get more info on my computers OS and the server.
Thank you,
MW

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?

Do you mean https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/amazon-s3-organizers3fox/?
Please update to Firefox 23, the version you have is horribly out of date and will have alot of problems. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

A website I opened now always appears when I open Firefox. 1.How can I stop this? 2.How can I eliminate urls I no longer nris?

I have a Motorola Droidx.
Re Question 2, I just don't want to have to wait through every word I haven't looked up on dictionary.com to find a site I looked up yesterday that was interesting but not interesting enough to bookmark.

You can set the Firefox home page by opening the menu key, selecting preferences, then use the 'Start page' drop down menu to chose the option you want.
Firefox mobile does not have a way to remove select URLs from the History. Just the global clear private data button. There are extensions that will allow you to clear just history or cookies but that is not quite what you want.

Cd opens at start up (how do I stop that)

Hi All,
I am wondering how to get my Quad 2.5ghz G5 to stop opening it's door on start up (or is it always that way?)
Thanks
(I did search here as well)

I'd try a PRAM reset first. Hold cmd-option-P-R key combination until you hear the second boot tone.
If that doesn't work, then maybe an NVRAM reset. Hold the cmd-optiion-O-F key combination until you get the white Open Firmware terminal screen. Then enter the following three commands (or maybe a fourth command):
If the tray has opened, then enter this command which should close it:
eject cd <enter>
In any event, the following three commands will reset the non-volatile RAM:
reset-nvram <enter>
set-defaults <enter>
reset-all <enter>
The last command reboots the machine.

I installed 4Sync on my computer, and it resets my browser constantly. Even when I set my browser back to FireFox Start Page it just switches it back the next time I open a browser. How can I stop this please??

I installed 4Sync when I was trying to find a download for a song and it has hijacked my browser completely. It always tries to set my default home page back to the 4Sync Homepage, but I do not want this. I even change it back and save the settings, but it just comes back and does it again in a few clicks. I feel like it has completely taken over Firefox and that it will always be my start page now, instead of the Firefox Google search page I normally use. I need to stop this because it is frustrating me. There is no new plugins or extensions installed on my browser, I just don't get it. Any answers would be greatly appreciated!!

Same issue for me, no settings or options config changes this
I also tried a roll back to 3.16 and the problem is there too now, so its something in the general mozilla files
dont fancy a full uninstall and delete of anything mozilla, but i wont be using this if it continues
