How can I stop Adobe Illustrator from starting automatically i boot

Every time I turn on my imac, Adobe Illustrator launches automatically. It is not that big a deal, but it is annoying and I cannot figure out how to stop it. I think my 3 yo daughter did it by accident! Thanks for your feedback in advance

Go to System Prefs>Accounts>your name and remove Adobe from the start-up items. There should also be a place in Adobe preferences that asks if you want it to launch when the computer starts, Deselect that option.

    how can i stop my mbp from starting up in target disk mode

    It should only do that if you hold down the T key at startup.  Otherwise the PRAM battery is probably near death, or the T key needs to be cleaned so it doesn't think it is being held down.  To clean the keyboard properly, you will probably need to bring it in for service.

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

    How can I stopy my Apps from being automatically updated on my iPad2? I have an extremely slow wi-fi at work and my iPad Apps appear to be frozen as they are waiting to be updated. Help!

    In iTunes use the File menu "Transfer purchases from..." item. Ordinarily you will get a warning to do this before an update. Presumably your computer is authorized to use your account and it is the computer to which you normally sync your iPod?

  • How can I stop  Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

    I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
    I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Edit>Preferences
    Under Page Display:
    Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
    Also, under Search:
    Click "Purge Cache Contents"

  • How can I stop Adobe Reader from reading (seeking) the floppy drive when opening/closing any PDF?

    Ever since I opened a PDF file from my floppy drive Adobe Reader insists on checking/seeking/reading the floppy drive whenever I open and whenever I close any PDF (not using the floppy).  It is very annoying, as I use many PDFs per day and it creates a delay and noise every time.

  • How can i stop my ipod from syncing automatically?

    I don't want my ipod to sync automatically when i connect it to the computer, i wanna sync it manually
    What does syncing even mean? like it just backs up the files yeah?
    'Cause i find it annoying that when like, maybe i add some new songs to itunes, maybe i don't want them on my ipod, which is why i don't want it to sync automatically, how do i change this?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods....syncing". Then, with the iPod connected to the computer you can chack the appropirate boxes in the Muisic pane for the iPod and check which songs you want on the iPod and Connie 9 suggested.

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
    Application Error

    how can I stop deleted gmails from reappearing?

    Ignore him!  Syncing will not solve this.
    if this just started, it may also resolve on its own.   A reboot may resolve it quicker.
    When you delete, are you confirming the delete by taping "done" Or "delete"?

  • How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    Check your sync settings on the Music and other tabs. Personally I untick the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and under Edit > Preferences > Devices I tick the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". This means that I get to choose and, if necessary, edit the content selections and then start the sync only when I'm ready.
