Firefox is starting up on its own. I don't want it to because sometimes I don't need it.
At the times I don't need Firefox, when I go to shut down, my computer won't let me because Firefox snuck in unbeknownst to me, and I have to close it first. Heck, I didn't even know it was running. How do I prevent Firefox from automatically starting up every time I turn on my computer?
Hi K-chan,
It sounds like you've just put Firefox into [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-use-full-screen Fullscreen mode]. It's an easy fix though. You can just hit ''F11'' or move your mouse to upper right hand side of the screen and hit the maximize button. The article I linked you to has more details.
Hopefully this helps!

I used to be in control of whether or not Firefox would load for any particular session on my computer. Now, probably after some update I got in the recent past, Firefox has a mind of its own. It opens every time I turn on my computer. There are times I don't want to use any browser, including Firefox. For example, sometimes I just want to look at my mail. Don't have time for anything else, but my computer won't let me shut it down. Why? Firefox sneaked in. So I have to find it and close it before I can shut down the computer.
HELP!!! How can I stop Firefox from automatically loading?
Thanks.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list -
After installing Leopard, my iMac starts up on its own at 10PM
Hello.
I just installed Leopard on my iMac last night, and everything seemed to be ok - except for the long lasting blue screen after starting up, which I will take care of soon. However, after I shut it down, the machine started up on its own at 10 PM. I shut it down. Today, when I got home at 10:13 PM, it was on again, without anybody touching it. It must have started up at 10, because the screen was not sleeping. I checked the System Preferences to see if any start up were scheduled, but no. Any insights on what might be going on? Could I have done anything wrong upon installation?
Thank you for your time and help!
Miss_BI've got to ask this question because in all of the years I have used Apples and Macs, I didn't know you could schedule a start up.
Where in System Preferences do you do that? I didn't see an icon for start ups other than startup disk and didn't find anything there. -
Why does my iPod start playing on its own.
MY iPod lives in the docking station and every now then it just starts playing on its own accord. How can I stop this as some nights it frightens the life out me!!!
Do you have any alarms set up on the device? Perhaps you can try a hard reset of the iPod and then see how it does for a few days again.

Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro? I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!
Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say. -
I bought an iPhone 4 about 3 days ago at radio shack. But I didn't get any warranty on it and it seems to be restarting itself on its own. If I want a new one do I have to buy it or can I replace it?
If you bought a new iPhone, it is covered under warranty. There's nothing to get, it simply is covered.
To check the warranty and support coverage, go here and enter the device serial number. -
Firefox is closing on its own or crashing for no reason. I've put in at least 4 crash reports a day. I'm also getting plug-in crashes and have sent those reports in. Also, I'm getting lots of unresponsive script warning messages. At first I thought it was Facebook but it is now doing it on GMail so is it Firefox?
I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you! -

X220i battery not working, starting up on its own
Background: I've had my x220i for a bit over 2 years and never had a problem with it. Suddenly a couple of weeks ago it completely died for no reason. It was fine one day, and the next morning when I tried to wake it from sleep state, the screen went on but was frozen. Nothing changed that, including long-pressing the power button, so I removed the battery and that turned off the screen. Then it wouldn't turn back on again no matter what I did (I tried things I found online, including removing the battery and pressing the power button 11 times, which has apparently worked for a lot of other people). I took it to get repaired, and they replaced the motherboard. When they did that, it was able to start up but the keyboard and battery weren't working. They replaced the keyboard because it's still under warranty, but not the battery.
Battery: The computer identifies the battery and it charges, but when I unplug the laptop it turns itself off and doesn't seem to draw any power from the battery, considering when I turn it back on the battery still says it's fully charged. The battery lasted about 4-5 hours with no charge before all this happened. The repair people said they checked the battery's connections to the laptop and it all seems fine, but I'm not convinced it's not a connection issue. However, I don't know what else to tell them to check. I don't want to order a new battery only to find that that doesn't solve the problem, but I will if there aren't other ideas about what to check.
Startup: When I shut down the computer but keep it plugged in, it's been restarting itself. When it's unplugged, it starts itself as soon as I plug it in. Today when I plugged it in it started itself, but the screen went black before the login page. After a long press of the power button, it went to sleep, and then I pressed the power button again and it went straight to the login screen.
Does anyone have ideas about what could be going on, or what I could have the techs look into further?Who did you get to repair it?
Is there any activity in Power Manager? When its charging it should tell you the amperage that's going through. Being stuck at 0.0 means a bad mainboard charging circuit but they apparently replaced it.
My question is how old is the battery and what is it's charge cycles?

ITunes app starts playing on its own
Hi! I am running an iPad mini 3 as I just upgraded from an iPad mini two weeks ago. I kept both iPads up-to-date with all software from Apple. But just before I upgraded, both the iPad mini and now my new iPad mini 3 started playing iTunes music with the app closed completely! I can be driving in my car with a car stereo that is not Bluetooth listening to music and all of a sudden my iPad, that is laying on the passenger seat while I drive starts playing music!!! It can either be from my library or the ITunes radio. So I hit the home button twice so that I can find the app and slide it up to close it and it's not even open!!!! I have to actually open iTunes so that I can slide it up and close it so it will stop playing music. But randomly it will start playing music again!! To me this sounds like a big bug. I am running the latest version of iTunes.
I spent an hour and a half on the phone with an Apple support rep a week ago Monday. In the end the only thing she could suggest was that I have my Bluetooth option turned on in Settings on the iPad and that was why it started playing my music . However I turned Bluetooth off which was linked to a Bluetooth speaker on my visor for phone calls. I also turned off the Motorola Bluetooth and even with it off, the music just randomly starts playing like it has a poltergeist affiliation!!
I was trying to find a place to report this bug but I'm just gonna post it here so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them! I have upgraded to IOS 8.3 now and it's still doing it. It's really really annoying! I can't even hear my Waze app reports on traffic because the music drowns it out.
Thanks!
Jeannie
P.S. Another thing that I spent an hour on a separate call with support for was that when you slide the control section up from the bottom of the home screen there was no lock whatsoever to change the orientation of my camera. It kept staying in portrait mode and would not take a picture horizontally!! They have changed the location and how you set your lock rotation for horizontal versus vertical. While on that one hour support call it was actually me that finally figured out the issue.
In General under Settings there is an option for the slide switch. The options are lock rotation or mute. Mine was on mute because one would think if you have mute selected that means you're not going to hear any notifications or if you're using the phone app you're not going to hear the phone ring. So I did not want my sounds muted so I selected lock rotation. In hind sight it actually says the slide lock will mute. But it can easily be assumed to novices such as myself with Apple products (because I'm new to them) that it's going to mute all sounds when that option is checked whether or not you slide the switch. While on that phone call with support I selected mute instead and then my camera finally rotated the way I wanted when I went to take a picture. I think there should be a better explanation for users as to what mute versus lock rotation will actually do. And my sounds were not muted because I didn't slide the slide switch on the top of the iPad. It even didn't make sense to the support rep!!! Just FYIIf you were listening to the iheartradio app when you received the call then it will pause the music during the call and resume playing when the call is finished.

Starting Thread within its own constructor...
this is maybe not critical, but is there a reason not to start a Thread
like this. it is non-standard way:
public class MyClass implements Runnable {
public MyClass() {
(new Thread((Runnable) this)).start();
}that is an easy way to start a Thread with one line of code.
does that violate any rules of self-reference in a Thread constructor?
i am new to Threads thanks.I am no expert on this, so this is only opinion, but I'd be reluctant to do this as you will lose some flexibility here. If a class holds a variable of this type, it cannot instantiate the class at one location and start the thread at another. It also goes against the rule of expected behavior.
Again, this my opinion only. I am very open to others' thoughts and corrections. -
Why won't Firefox open Foxit Reader in its own window?
When browsing with Frefox, I used to be able to click on a PDF link and have Foxit Reader open the file in a separate (Foxit) window. Now no matter what I do, the PDF opens within Firefox in what I suppose is a Firefox PDF reader.
How canI make this work the way it used to?Could you try the steps in this support article and see whether they solve the problem: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

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. -
Macbook shuts off then semi-starts up on its own
when using my macbook the machine will shutdown. the display goes black, the light on the front of the case goes off and all sound (what little there is) from inside ceases.
then, a second or so later, the display backlight comes up to show a gray screen, the front led pops on and the cd makes its warm-up noise and the computer sits like that until i remove power from it.
this has happened sometimes when the book is just sitting there but more often if i am using it and pick it up or move it in any way.errr...website just asploded on me when i hit "post"
anyway, i think i solved the problem. the ram needed to be re-seated.
which was odd, because it was just out of the box and apple-installed ram. although, installing the ram is a bit of a trick and it could have moved during shipping. at least i know its supported ram.
it tested fine after the re-seat but shut the computer down when tested before.
hope this helps anyone else who may have this problem.
