Finder opens up whenever I OS X restart

for some odd reason, my finder always open whenever my OS X starts up. I've been looking for the function to turn it off, but I can't seem to. Anyone can guide me to the right place?
Thanks

Are you sure with restart?
Does it happen when you shut down, then turn back on?
Sometimes when program updates restart, it restarts the computer with finder open, that's the only time I know that the computer starts with the finder window open

  • Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

    1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

    One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

  • Finder Opens When I Left Click Any Dock Application

    When I wake my system up from Sleep, I have a problem that occurs intermittently. When I left click any icon on the dock, ie. Mail, Finder opens and the Mail application is highlighted. Mail does not open. If I double-click on the application in Finder at that point, the application opens just fine. Has anyone else had this problem?
    By the way, I have updated to Tiger 10.4.7, but the problem has occured prior to the update.

    Yes, I had the same problem and also it was an intermittent problem. I was having trouble with Safari and Mail which I used most often. Sometimes after a while it wouldn't give me the problem but usually I would restart and it would work, but later after my computer was asleep it would give me the problem again. I was even having problems with Safari opening windows in a new tab and not the same window even though it was set to open in the same window.
    Solution: Drag the preferences 'plist' for the 'finder', 'dock', and 'desktop' to the desktop and restart. You will have to reset your preferences, but the only one that took any time was the 'dock', because I have a lot of apps there. You might even want to try one at a time to see which one might be the corrupt list. /users/your name/Library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist/
    Hope this helps you, I don't think anything is wrong with your mouse or your mouse button settings.

  • Finder opens small window

    Every time I open the Finder, it opens in a very small window which I then have to widen. I close it, re-open it, and it's the small window again. Every time.
    Is there any way to get the Finder to open in a larger window, the size I closed it in?

    Roger Barre,
    If its only one folder, You could try trashing the hidden file ( .DS_Store ) inside the folder that stores some of its positioning and size settings.
    To show your hidden files.
    Launch ( Terminal ) > Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder ) > Press Return.
    Open the ( Offending Folder ) > Delete ( .DS_Store ) > Restart > Resize folder how you want to to stay > Restart > Does it stay?
    To reverse your hidden files back to hidden.
    Launch ( Terminal ) > Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder ) > Press Return.
    or You could trash all the hidden ( .DS_Store ) files on your Mac. If its multiple folders in Finder.
    Launch ( Terminal ) > Paste in the following ( sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -delete ) > Press Return. > Type in your administrator password. It will look like it isn't typing when you type in your password. Also it won't look like it is doing anything for awhile while it is running please be patient. It probably will tell you that /dev/... and /dev/... are not a directory, this is ok > Restart your Mac. Don't just log off then back on. > After your Mac restarts change the view settings the way you would like and test to see if it remembers them.
    This command will delete all the .DS_Store files on your Mac so any positioning and sizing set in all Finder windows will have to be reset. Also its a good idea to repair your disk permissions afterwards.
    Hope that helps,

  • Finder opens and relaunches every 2-10 seconds

    First off I have a MacBook 10.4.11 and I was just going to instal snow leopard via the $29 disk (not sure if that matters) but my computer kept spitting the disk out, so I figured I needed more memory so after putting my music on a external HD I deleted all of my music. It spit the disk out again and I shut down my computer. Then I turned it back on and logged in like normal, but this time finder opened and crashed, and it keeps doing it.
    Now, I have restarted my computer multiple times and I did the apple option p r thing but that didn't help. I managed to create another user and finder does not crash in that account it workd like normal, except when I log in I get this message "The Home Folder for user "d" is not located in the usual place or cannot be accessed. The home or users folder may have been moved or deleted. If the home folder is located on the network, the server may be unavailable temporarirly. If you continue to have problems, see your system administator." Please Help me!

    Hi, this sounds like some serious Disk problem or corruption.
    From the account that works, open Disk Utility, Verify the Disk, (not Permissions & do not Repair Permissions).
    If it needs repair, Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

  • MBP not finding open wifi networks, but iPhone is?

    Hello, I'm a newbie to the forums and I am quite frustrated at a recent set of events. I currently live in Seoul Korea and decided to walk around the other day to find open usable wifi hotspots at coffee shops so I could study. Unfortunately it seems that while my iPhone can "find" and successfully connect get online with dozens of open wifi networks, my MBP only seems to find 1 out of 5 on average. As I sit here, I have full signal strength on my iPhone wifi (cellular does not work in S. Korea) and cannot find, nor connect manually to any one of a dozen networks that all work with my iPhone. I was wondering if anyone can assist me with this? Is it a software setting issue? or simply a matter of weak hardware on part of the MBP?
    I also tried searching with XP using bootcamp and parallels with no avail. I'm restarted, erased the preferred networks, erased network keychains, and tried manually entering the router info found on my iPhone. No luck.
    Thank you.

    It may be simply that the iPhone you have is able to see the networks more easily owing to the nature of the antenna. That in the MBP is shielded a bit by the aluminium casing. I have an iPod touch and that does also see more networks than my MBP, although 1 in 5 seems a little sparse.
    On the other hand, there have been situations where the antenna has been found not to be connected internally. If you can check with an Apple agent, that might help here.

  • Finder opened multiple windows and now will not respond.

    I was importing music from back up disks onto my new iMac and when I clicked into a folder in my iTunes Music folder finder opened all the band's (maybe 30 total) folders and now Finder is not responding at all. I have tried a relaunch, I have tried force quit, I have even hard restarted using the power on/off button as choosing power down from the apple menu is not working. I can not access the library folder to make any changes to files located within it. I'm unsure of where else to go from here. It's been almost 5 years since I've owned a computer at all and I've never encountered this issue.

    Hi Colin,  I was hopeful this might work, but no joy at all.  Tried it several times, including after a restart.  Still the same problem.  I get window with 2 options, Restore windows/Do not restore windows.  Irrespective of which one I choose, mail tries to open properly and then crashes.  I see my mail window, with all my folders, it attempts to restore the mobileme folder, then crashes.  Thanks for the suggestion anyway.  I have moved across to Postbox until a fix is found.

  • How to find open orders and open quantity

    Hi abap gurus,
    i want to find the open orders with the quantity  means those orders for which we don't have goods issues(and partial deliverys is also possible). i get this scenario but i don't know how to start.
      i think i should go to VBUP table and get all the orders
      which have overall status GBSTA = 'A' OR 'B'.
      So from this i will get all the open orders but i need to find open quantity also .
      please tell me how can i find out and  which table do i need to use.

    You need to check between delivery line item table as well sales order line item table.
    Sales order Line item table : VBAP
    Delivery line item table : LIPS
    if order qty and delivery qty are same then there is no open qty if not then there is open qty.
    Thanks

  • I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

    This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
    But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
