Getting an application to start up automatically on start up
Is there a way or an option to get an application to start up when I switch my mac on?
Any help?
Thanks

Hello Thomas and Paul,
Another, cheaper and possible easier way is...
Blue Apple ( top left of screen ) > System Preferences > Accounts > Log in items.
Then click on the + button and add whatever Applications you want launched at start up.
Makes sense. Saves money. Sounds good to me
Regards to both
Ian

When trying up date adobe flash player from 10.1.102.64 to new version 10.2.152.26 i get an error message, "Installer will automatically continue when those conflicting applications are closed: [circle w/line through it] Mozilla firefox."
Save the Flash installer to the desktop and close Firefox via File > Exit Firefox.<br />
Start the Flash installer via a double-click on the Flash installer icon on the desktop.
If that still gives problems then see:

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??
It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.

When trying to logout, I keep getting "the application safari canceled logout" even though I am not in Safari. This only recently started happening and I'm wondering if it is a setting issue or bug. Can someone tell me what to do?
You don't have to be "in" Safari for it to cancel logout.
You have several different Applications open, and any one of them may cancel logout if conditions are just right.
Quit the Applications you are no longer using and your Mac will run better and faster. And it will logout instead of cancelling. -
Easy question - hopefully: getting an application to open when starting up
I'm sure I've done this before, but just forgotten - how do I get an application (in this case iChat) to open when I switch on my Mac.
I use a PC at work so get continually confused....Go to the "Login Items" pane of the "Accounts" System Preference.

Getting a "application unexpectedly quit" notice after successful quits.
Any advice is gratefully received. I've recently upgraded my OS from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 (and updated to 10.4.5) and have run permission repairs, and generally everything is peachy.
However, when I quit (successfully) from iMovie (the main victim at the moment), I get a "application unexpectedly quit" notice. This is incorrect - the app. didn't quit unexpectedly, the work is being saved properly and there doesn't appear to be any problems in the actual running of the application. It may be a 'rogue' warning, but it is unsettling. Any ideas, solutions or general words of comfort? Thanks.

G4 Emac superdrive. Mac OS X (10.4.5)You're welcome Bongomal,
Looks like you managed to get it working again.
I was typing a reply yesterday evening when my internet connection went down, so for what it's worth...:
"Bongomal,
make sure you're looking at the Library folder inside your own home (user) folder ! Preference files are created automatically the first time you launch an application. If you delete/rename them, a new, default .plist file will be saved the next time you start iMovie. There's no guarantee it will solve your issues, yet resetting an application's preferences is one of the fist steps to try.
You've already repaired permissions using Disk Utility.
Try running the periodic system maintenance scripts, which are generally taken care of automatically, using a system utility like YASU or Terminal: Log in from an administrator account, open Terminal (Applications/Utilities), type "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly", hit return and enter your password, return. You're done after a few minutes when you see a new command line (computer :~ user$ ) appear.
If that doesn't do it, open System Preferences → Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes only. Log in and see what iMovie does.
Good luck!
I'm not aware of any Tiger related issues with iMovie 4.01. I've actually used it a week ago due to a bug in iMovie 05 and 06 regarding play through mode with digital camcorders.
Archive and install has proven to be just a little bit more reliable than the standard update method, since you're actually creating a new System folder rather than just updating corresponding files. If we can't isolate your problem at all, Archive and Install along with deleting some preference files should do it for sure. " -
Skype NOT Starting Up Automatically on Startup
Hello,
I have always used Skype with no major problems, however, today I found that it wasn't automatically starting up even though the setting (http://puu.sh/dpAcv/0c402f5ae1.png) was never changed!
The only major change to my computer was updating using Windows Update yesterday, which installed these updates: http://puu.sh/dpAmq/5ca16afa47.png
The version of my Skype is 7.0.0.100: http://puu.sh/dpArM/720e8df18b.png
I have a high performance computer with my Windows 8.1 64-bit OS and Skype both installed on an Solid-State Drive (SSD).
I have restarted my computer many times to test if it really doesn't start up automatically, and it does not, this is not a one-time or once-in-a-month issue.
I believe it's either one of the Windows updates conflicting with the Skype autostart setting or undisclosed minor patches made to Skype. (It's kind of lame because Microsoft owns both my OS and Skype, so releasing a conflicting update is maybe rare? or not)
After my desktop is shown, with every other application started up already (Steam, nVidia GeForce Experience, Kaspersky Internet Security, etc), I can simply click the Skype icon which I have pinned to my taskbar and open Skype, and Skype completely loads within 2 seconds.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion, comment, or any additional question to my issue.
Regards,
JasperHello techfreak,
I have found out my issue's roots: Kaspersky Internet Security.
I updated my Kaspersky Internet Security and ran a Full Scan on my computer and it found no viruses.
Then I remembered that sometimes Skype gets blocked by Kaspersky Internet Security, for whatever reason. So I added Skype to the application Exclusion List, and re-enabled all the startup applications from the Task Manager, and rebooted 3 times with the same settings, unchanged.
The results were very good: Skype started up automatically with no problem all three times!
Thank you very much for your help techfreak!

In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?
Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched. -
Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So how do I get my ITunes back?Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

when I am opening any application including safari, these icons are not showing in dock, how to get open applications in my dock?
This could be a plist corruption problem, but I'm not sure.
Sometimes, the preference list files get corrupted. You can usually just remove them and they'll get re-created. This may require you to reset certain settings. A notable exception to this is the Mail plist which actually stores the Library structure of your email accounts. Deleting the Mail plist will definitely cause lots of problems, but is recoverable.
The plist files are stored in the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder. They usually have the naming convention of com.company.programname.plist.
A simple troubleshooting technique is to move a suspect plist file out of the Preferences folder and start up the app, again. It will re-create the plist from scratch.
In your case, I would try the com.apple.dock.plist. You can use Activity Monitor to kill the Dock app and it will restart. Or, you can log out and log back in.
There is a new file with Leopard called com.apple.dock.db. I haven't figured out what it does, but you might try moving it out. If anything gets worse, you can move the old file back in replacing the newly created one.
This all sound somewhat odd, so I don't know if this will help. -

thanksI just had the same problem this morning. I believe the app server starts and if you browser directly to your app you'd get it, but the connection between the appserver and the IDE is somehow lost. An easier solution than completely reinstalling for me was to delete the .Creator folder in my home directory (C;|Documents and Setting\<username>\.Creator) and restart Creator

Hello. Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot. I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193). I have uninstalled/reinstalled I Tunes several times and this has not resolved the issue. I also uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft.net Framework 4 since this was suggested by Apple support. This also has not resolved the issue.
When I reinstall I Tunes, I get a message that the “Service ‘apple mobile device’ failed to start.” Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I attempted to manually start the Apple Mobile Device service but get a pop up stating, “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”Unsure what I should try next.For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

Last time I opened ITunes, was told I did not have latest version and proceeded to download new version. As it was loaded, keep getting message that Apple Mobile Devices failed to start, verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services. I am the only user on the computer and in household. I have tried installing several timees and keep getting same message.
What should I do?Hey CarleneS,
First, I would try the steps in here:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes, make sure you follow all of the steps in this link:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
