HT2476 How do I alter which programs start when I turn my iMac on?

New to Apple Mac, how do I alter which programs automatically run at Start Up?

How do I change which programs start when the system boots up?

I want to delete a program from the start up sequence so that the program does not start up automatically. Suggestions!

How do I change which application is the (default) for a given file type?

For .pdf files, I have set the application behaviour to "Always Ask", because sometimes I want to open the pdf, sometimes I want to save it. So far so good.
Now, when I want to open the .pdf, I have added an application to the dropdown list, so now I have "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" and "okular".
The problem is this: I *never* open using Adobe Reader. I always want to use okular, but Adobe Reader always appears first on the list, as it is the 'default'. This means I always have to click on the dropdown and select "okular", i.e. an extra step every time I want to open a pdf.
How do I change which application is the default?

Yes, I know that. That was the first sentence of my question, but it is not the problem I have.
I want to change which application is the (default) for a given file type, and this cannot be done from the settings.

How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
Can anyone help please?

Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

How do you change the startup volume when you turn on your mac?

Is there a control panel to change the chimes sound in system preferences or something? I'm not wanting to mute it completely but make it a little quieter. Resetting the PRAM only brings it to max volume. Thanks guys!

I think this might answer your question:

HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

Thanks again Chris.
I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
Thanks for your help,
Larry

How can I change which computer taht is my main?

How can I change which computer that is my main without loosing all my APPS, all my music etc when I sync?
When I first used my iPhone i was on my work computer, but now I can't sync it on my home computer without loosing all data? That isn't a good design solution at all.
Is there any way to change the authentication from my work computer to my home?
There should really be a better way to solve this, instead of forcing alot of users to "Choose" only 1 computer, I mean I believe many have maybe 2 or 3 computers that they want to use there iDevices on... Please help me!

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

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.
