How can I stop my MBA going into Time Machine every time I restart?

Every time I restart by MacBook Air, it starts Time Machine and I have to cancel out of it before I can start working.
My iMac and my wife's MacBook Pro (both also running Lion) do not do this.
Any suggestions on how to stop this happening?
I have an MBA running Lion 10.7.2.

Check that Time Machine isn't in your Login Items:
 > System Preferences > Users & Groups | Login Items
If it is, highlight it, then press the minus '-' at the bottom.

Well then you can not remove something that obviously has been removed
Did you remove the references in the iPhoto preferences? Did this eliminate the problem? If so then you are done and your problem has been

How can I stop my browser from opening additional window every time it starts pointing to add-ons upgrade page.

It start suddenly some days ago. I tried the conventional solutions like setting the home page, upgrading the addons marked for upgrade (although I really didn't want to upgrade the Shockwave flash - every time I do this I have some issue...) etc. but none of them helped me and i couldn't find some setting particulary about this. I'm having an antivirus solution and I doubt this to be some sort of infection.
So, this is the reason to try to find some answers here before change the browser. I'm using old version (version 12 if I recall it correctly), I know, but the newer ones.. I just don't like them much.
Thanks in advance!

Mhm.. this is what I wanted to avoid.
Anyway, I'll use the post to clarify that the page opened in the additional window is https://www.mozilla.org/bg/plugincheck/. Obviously the problem is not the addons, it is the plugins. If someone had resolved that issue could share his experiance.
Many thanks for the answer!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

How can I stop extracted clips goes to search for "all movies"?

When you click open a Macintosh system drive that is running Leopard OS X 10.5.2. On the bottom right side, under "SEARCH FOR" you will see "All Movies".
I am reloading all my LOST footage because I deleted clips for more space in the system drive. Right now all extracted clips goes to an External Hard Drive. However, every single clips I extracted are also in the "All Movies: Folder. How can I stop that? Or can I stop that?

Everyone can still use the same Apple ID. What you need to do is go into - "Settings" , "Messages", "Receive At", and add a different Email for each user for where they can be reached for messages at. Once you have added a new Email to each device delete the original Email that was there which should have been the same as your Apple ID. Then when you send a new message, send the message to the Email for that person that was just added to their iPhone. There is no need for each family member to create their own Apple ID just to use iMessage. Each family member would only need to create their own Apple ID if everyone wanted to use iCloud and not have all family members data, contacts, calendars, etc sync together. If you are also using FaceTime between iPhones do the the same thing in the FaceTime settings.

How do you stop pictures from going into different rolls?

Everytime I transfer a picture into iPhoto it goes into a different roll. When it comes to finding these pictures, it can take a long time. Can anyone tell me how to make pictures all go to the same place?

Each import creates a new roll. You can't change this behavior.
You can edit your rolls. Select Library from the Source Pane. Go to View > Sort Photos > by Film Rolls. If rolls are closed you can Option-click on one roll's disclosure triangle to open all of them at once. Open the info pane at the lower left of the iPhoto window. Now any time you select a roll by clicking its title, you can edit its info in the info pane. You can edit the title, date, and comments. You can select photo(s) and move to another roll by dragging until a roll's title is highlighted, then drop. You can combine rolls or create new rolls.
I use large memory cards with my camera and import photos little by little, as I take them. I keep the photos from one card together in one roll. So each time I import, I immediately drag the new roll up to the existing roll for that memory card. This places those photos into the roll with the others, and deletes the newly created roll.

You could simply turn off iCloud contacts sync on your iPhone in "Settings > iCloud > Contacts".

Can I stop Apple from sending me an email every time I locate my device using Findmyiphone?

Apple sends me an email notification every time someone locates my iphone. Can I stop these emails?

It is a privacy improvement issue, but there is no setting for it. If this is occurring when you are logging into the Find My iPhone app from a phone, if you have a passcode lock on the phone, it will no longer log out of Find My iPhone and once you sign in you will not receive another email. If you log in from the same computer, once you do it the first time, it will not do it again from the computer, unless you disable cookies on the computer. If you do not like the feature and do not find that using the information I provided doesn't help you, then you can provide feedback for Apple on their feedback page HERE, then click on the appropriate link.

How do I stop Firefox from checking add-on compatibilty every time I start the program?

In the past 2 days, every time I start Firefox, a "What's New" tab (checking for compatibility of add-ons?) pops up in addition to my homepage tab. How can I keep the "What's New" tab from coming up? It seems like this starting happening after I updated to Firefox 6.0.
Running Windows Vista
Firefox 6.0

IPhone goes into recovery mode every time it dies?

If my phone battery dies it immediately is in recovery mode and I have to wipe the phone to get it back to factory settings. Can i fix this??? It is very annoying and sometimes my phones dies when I have 30-40% battery still so I am not sure if I can even prevent this from happening.

Hello emmahardman,
It sounds like your phone needs to be restored because it goes into Recovery Mode when the battery runs out, and it sometimes turns off when there appears to be plenty of charge left. Assuming you are restoring from a backup when this happens, I would next time set it up as a new device and test to see if it happens again. If so, reset the phone with the following process and test it again:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue still keeps happening, I would next seek service for the iPhone:
iPhone Repair and Service - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
