Get Applications to Load Automatically on Startup

I was wondering if there was a place where I could specify several applications that I want to start up automatically everytime I login?

There sure is.
Go to System Preferences > Accounts and under the Login Items tab for your login account preferences you can add chosen applications to launch automatically when you login. There is also a selection to hide the applications selected to launch automatically at login.

  • Is there any way to get an application to load automatically on server start?

    We're trying to implement a load-balancing mechanism between FMS hosts in a virtual "farm".  The mechanism we're using is to have the FMSs periodically send "load" data (along with a timestamp) to an application server.  That server will then use that load information and timestamp to detect when an FMS server has gone down and to make stream assignments to FMSs.
    Right now, I've implemented this code via a setInterval() in live/main.asc.  I've added a "return false" to Application.onAppStop() to (according to the docs, I haven't tested this yet) keep the server from shutting down an idle instance.  So I've left with a "chicken and egg" issue: how do I get the interval running before the first request hits the application (and forces the load of the application)?  I've tried putting the setInterval in onAppStart() and as a global.  In both cases, it only gets executed after application is loaded.
    So, is there any way to force an application to load (via a config file parameter or local command-line)?

    Hi,
    I am sorry i have not read the full details what you wrote, but if you are looking for loading of application on start of the server, there is a configuration tag in application.xml called loadonstartup and by default it is set to false. Set it to true to enable it and all the apps will be loaded on server start.
    alternatively , you can make an application.xml inside the application folder and set this tag to true, to have this applied only to a particular application,
    Also, the fms admin console can launch a new instance of an app without any connection being made initially.
    Thank you !

  • Many Applications Not Loading - Very Slow Startup

    Hola!
    I have a MBP 15" bought last September, which I updated to Mac OS X 10.4.10 recently. The first noticeable change in performance came when I saw the fonts in my Dashboard had all changed - on the dictionary/thesaurus and stickies.
    Then came the following:
    1: Grey-screen startup went from hardly noticeable to about 40+ seconds.
    2: Desktop startup went from roughly 0.8 seconds to 30 seconds.
    3: Numerous applications will not open. At all. Activity monitor show them attempt to load, then 'not respond' and shut down. Only some applications won't open (iTunes; Photoshop CS, etc) - others like iPhoto and Firefox open then crash when loading GMail or Google/when accessing photo files/lots of data. Notepad and other smaller applications seem to work fine.
    Only 1/4 of my HD is full at the moment; and there doesn't seem to be any memory problems -- but I have no idea what is wrong, or what I am supposed to do to fix it. The disk has been scanned with Disk Utility for faults in itself and its performance and non have popped up.
    I am a heavy user (work and school!), and this is nothing short of distressing.

    Thank you for welcoming me, and for your reply; its only I carried out those suggestions and they did not improve the performance of my machine.
    However while I was carrying them out I discovered the following; that when I try to search through my Documents & etc (I was attempting to transfer files to USB flashdrive), Finder occasionally crashes and reloads the desktop. In addition, my CD drive refused to acknowledge a CD once inserted, and made a quizzical clicking-whirring noise. It refused to eject the CD until I restarted the machine and pressed eject during grey-screen startup.
    I was advised to boot from CD & load an archive of my HD; but I am afraid that wouldn't effect the problems I am having - even if my CD drive decides to work. Could this be not a software, but a hardware problem?

  • I can't get applications to stop reopening upon startup.

    I've quit all applications (not just closed them), unchecked the box in general preferences, and uncheck the box in the shutdown window, but they still open on startup!

    Apple does not provide any decent method to manage the Resume feature, which is what is cusing your problems. Her are some tips for gaining control over Resume:

    Are you powering down the iPad completely?
    Or just letting it sleep/tapping the Power button to sleep it?
    Have you removed it from the Recents bar at the bottom?

  • My applications keep closing automatically like Google Earth, Microsoft Word

    Just recently, my applications close automatically, such as Microsoft Word, Google Earth, iPhoto.  When I click on a video in iPhoto it automatically shuts down iPhoto.   I am not able to view any videos in my iPhoto.  It comes up with a message saying that the application closed because of a problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I startup my computer?

    A while ago I setup Windows so Outlook and Firefox opened automatically when I log on. Now I want to stop FF from opening automatically. I have gone into the Startup folder and removed the shortcut to FF several times but it keeps coming back. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in the Windows Programs Directory to xxMozilla Firefox and that didn't keep it from loading. If necessary, I will remove FF from my computer altogether but I would rather not do that.

    Aaarg! I tried Matt's suggestion of using msconfig, restarted my computer, and it seemed to solve the problem. Today when I turned on the computer it hung up before loading Windows. I had to use the F12 button to get it to load. I did and it did and Firefox did not load.
    Now, this evening, I turned on the computer, the startup procedure was normal, and there's Firefox fired up and ready to go!

  • Can't get Servlet to Load On Startup

              I am trying to get a servlet to run at startup, and I have put the xml below in WEB-INF/web.xml to make this happen, but it is not working. The servlet does not run at startup.
              Anybody have any idea what the problem is?
              <servlet>
                   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
                   <servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-class>
                   <init-param>
                        <param-name>properties</param-name>
                        <param-value>./WEB-INF/cocoon.properties</param-value>
                   </init-param>
                   <load-on-startup/>
              </servlet>
              <servlet-mapping>
                   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
                   <url-pattern>*.xml</url-pattern>
              </servlet-mapping>
              ALSO, The servlet in this case is the Cocoon servlet, and the reason I am trying to get it to run at startup is because in my application I am calling it from another servlet, instead of through a direct call to an *.xml file, and so it requires a direct call to Initialize the Cocoon Engine. So, if anyone knows anything about how to solve this problem, that would also be helpful.
              Thanks.

  • I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

    More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Hi! I need to load a GET url that si very long. On other browsers, I can load the url. In firefox 3.6, no. There is an addons or a plugin so I can extend this limit? If yes, is possible to load automatically this addons when loading a certain page? thanks

    Hi!

    The url is sometingh like this (this is correctly loaded, but it could be longer)

    Firefox should have problems with long GET data appended to an URL (long would be over 64k).<br />
    If there are problems then it is possible that an extension is the cause of that.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Hi, sorry this is so basic, but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

    sorry this is so basic but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

    Is this for a computer model or an iDevice model? If the former you've posted in the wrong forum. But here's the answer.
    Open General preferences in System Preferences. There are two options you can check that affect this behavior:
    Check the boxes you thing you prefer. When you next shutdown the computer you should be asked in a dialog about reopening applications on restart. Select the option to not reopen.
