Have to reconnect to my network every time I restart
Every time I restart my computer, it fails to find my network even though the airport is on and the network is listed. I have gone through the network diagnostics which appears to work, but when I restart, it still can't find my network on its own for some reason. What's going on?
I think you have a corrupt .plist...
Maybe "/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist", or "/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist", (or whatever interface you're using, if not airport).
Back them up before trashing them, then reboot.

Have to reboot my airport extreme every time i restart my PC.
Hello,
Why is it that i have to reboot my Airport Extreme every time i restart my PC? I am able to connect to the network but not the internet, unless/until i restart my base station.
My phones and tablets are connected to the internet, so i know the my ISP is not the issue.It is impossible to work this out without lots of details.
Like what PC OS do you run?
What connection, wireless or ethernet?
What you use test with the other if possible. Does it work for example swapping from wireless to ethernet??
I presume wireless as it is the most trouble prone.. When you start the PC does the wireless connect? Do you get IP by DHCP .. if so does it match what you get after a reboot.. look particularly at dns and gateway addresses.
Is the PC showing location as home or work/public.. it must be home to work properly.. also firewall might matter.
Also what type of wireless card is used.. poor windows drivers abound.. particularly Intel cards in laptops.
Is the wireless name SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric?
Is the wireless password mix of only case and numbers.. nothing non-alphanumeric? -
I have to reenter my Wifi password every time I restart my Ipod touch. It used to retain the password but now it drops out when I turn the Ipod off. Any suggestions?

Have to manually choose wireless network every time I turn on my Macbook
I am using a Macbook Pro for a few days now and it seems that every time I turn it on, I must manually select my wireless network before it will connect. How can I get the computer to do that automatically? I have tried what seem to be all the network settings and nothing works.
Actually, I have. What I didn't realize when I started this thread is that this situation has been discussed elsewhere and it appears to be a bug that Apple will need to address.
It makes no difference how the settings are set, when the Macbook is restarted it does not automatically select a wireless network. It will start the airport card ok, and list all the networks ok, and as long as my encryption key is in keychain, all I have to do is press the airport icon and then the network which I use and it will stay on even if I put the computer to sleep, but it will NOT automatically choose this network if I turn the computer off and back on again.
Guess I just need to wait for a firmware upgrade like everyone else. -
My home network is at the top of my preferred network list. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

how do I stop programs from opening at startup
When you shut down, uncheck the window to reopen applications. If you update to 10.7.4, then it should remain unchecked each time you shutdown. In previous versions of the OS, you will have to uncheck the window each time you shut down or restart.
You might check your User Account login items for other applications you may not want as startup items if you have any there. -
Have to create a new folio every time I restart my computer, any fix?
I'm having some major issues with updating articles. When I shut off my computer, on restart I can't open or update the articles in my folio. The only way to get them to update or even connect to source files is to create a new folio and re-import all of my articles again.
I've tried:
-Checking for and installing all adobe updates
-Re-installing INDD and DPS
-Logging out of Folio Builder and back in
-Making sure I'm not connected to any other user servers etc.
Would really like not to have to recreate this folio everytime I shut down. I'm on CS6, Mac OS 10.6.8. Any ideas?I figured it out. I have to disconnect from servers and user drives, a problem I've experienced with Bridge and Photoshop in the past. I should have thought of it sooner:

Why do I have to reconnect to my network every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password. It has been happening ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion. I have two default wireless routers I connect to (my home and work) and yet everytime I turn on my computer I have to manually select which network I want to join from the drop down menu at the top of my desktop. Any suggestions? I dont want to have to manually choose, it should just look for those two networks automatically and connnect to whichever one is available.
It was already set to Automatic......and still it doesnt connect to my network.

Network assistant launches every time I restart
Can anyone tell me why the network assistant launches every time I restart my computer? I am already connected to my wireless network so I'm not really sure why it needs to create a new location every time.
thanksDealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it. -
i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, i creat a new password and still that message shoes ,what is the problem ?can you help me please???!!!!
If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@
The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

Will I have to awnser my security questions every time I get an app? And if so how do I get rid of them?
If you forgot them:
From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

In fcp7 there is a "close gap" option so you don't have to highlight and move everything every time you delete a small section in the middle of a video. Is it possible to do this in fcpx? I can't seem to find it...Thanks!
This isn't the actual clip, I fixed it by highlighting and moving everything over but it'd still be a good thing to know for the future. This is essentially the situation i'm talking about. I would never use it for something this simple, but when more complicated editing is being done it isn't so easy to just move all the clips over.

I have exactly the same problem with iPhoto. On my iPad I just enabled Photo Stream once and it automatically is enabled each time I turn it on again. But on my MacBook Pro and my older tower Mac (both running Lion) I have to enable Photo Stream every time I reboot the computer. Frustrating.
