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!

System Preferences - Users and Groups - Login Items - highlight the one you don't want to start up and hit the minus sign.

How do I change my Apple password - when the system won't let me?

Here's what I did:
1. Originally, my password was eight lowercase letters and a number.
2. Apple's required that I change the password to include eight letters, which must include a number and a letter with a capital letter. (E.g. password format changed from something like "password1" to "Password1".)
3. I need to revert my password to my original one. However, when I try to revert to my original password get an error message in red: "The Password specified has been used in the past year. Please select another."
How do I get my original password back?

One of the sites I routinely use requires the following:
As of (xx-xx-xx) all passwords shall conform to the following rules
10 character minimum
12 character maximum
At least one of the following
lower case letter
upper case letter
numeral
non-alphanumeric character (see exceptions below)
Must not contain any of the following
(a list follows consisting of fifteen specific prohibitions such as name, phone, cell, birth date, driver's license number, SS number, passport number, email addy etc, spelled either forward or backward)
several specific non-alphanumeric characters
two or more consecutive characters (e.g. Password1% is NG)
three or more consecutive characters from your last password (e.g. Pswojg9@# is NG)
any of your previous 20 passwords (twenty!!)
Passwords must be changed every 30 days
Good luck with that.
The purpose of this farce is clear - to absolve the IT department of blame should a password get hacked. If you write yours down as any normal human would be required to do (that's prohibited also), well, it's just not their fault when someone finds it taped to the underside of your desk. "It's for your security" is BS. It is for theirs.
The irony is that a password conforming to the above silliness is easier for a computer to break than a longer, but more memorable phrase - one intelligible to humans. To a computer, it's all the same: just a string of bits, and the more or them, the harder it is to crack.
So how bad does Apple seem now?
Perhaps one day, in a more enlightened age, the IT geniuses who come up with this nonsense will realize ridiculous password requirements hinder security rather than enhance it. From what I've observed of our species, enlightenment is not going well.

How do I change an apple Id when the wrong one appears

How do I change an apple id, when the wrong one appears

On your Mac/PC open iTunes (make sure it is updated). On the tabs on the left click on "iTunes Store". This will change the window on the right to the iTunes store. The top right corner should have your Apple ID or Sign In written. If there is an Apple ID written click on it and Sign Out. The corner should then change to "Sign In".
Now click on Sign In and sign in with the wrong/incorrect Apple ID that you no longer wish to use or update from.
Once logged in, click on the down arrow that shows when you move the pointer on the top right corner where it should now show the apple id, and select Account.
The page that opens up should have a section called "iTunes in the Cloud" with a tab on the side saying "Manage Devices".
Click on Manage Devices. Its should list your iPhone or iPad that you no longer wish to use with this Apple ID. And click Remove.
Once its confirmed click "Done" and from the top right corner select Sign Out.

HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
Insert the SD card.
System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive. iPhoto closes
SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again.
I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
What's wrong here.
The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
What's the answer?
I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.

and

and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,

another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
thanks for the help!

When I plug in an SD card, the finder window shows it under the DEVICES section. At this point, I can drag the contents to the hard drive. However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card. I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card. Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do? Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.

Using Windows8, how can you change which program to import photos from iphone?

When I bought a Windows8 PC (Lenovo Yoga) and synched iphone the first time, it defautled to the Photo App on my PC. I no longer seem to get the pop up window I used to get under Windows7 asking me if it should use the default program to select and import photos. Now it directly opens the photo app and asks which to import. I'm sure its there somewhere but I can't find any way to change which tool is used. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There is only one way

My Apple ID is registered in wrong email address. How can i change it or else when the server reply me to check my email that i can't check due to they sent to wrong email address...

Please give advice of how can i change my Apple ID (email address) as it is wrong address. Like i just update my iPhone to latest version 6.0, and get the new app, iCloud which need me to key in my Apple ID and Password. I have no choice to use the wrong email address as it is already registerd since from 1st day i use my iPhone. Then i received the reply that tell me to check my email for verifing but the problem is i can't check my gmail as they sent to the email is not my actual gmail address....
How can i solve this problem?

You may change your Apple ID to any email address that is not already used as another Apple ID, or that is not already associated with another Apple ID.
In other words, if I have an Apple ID [email protected], and have alternate email addresses of [email protected] and [email protected], none of them may be used by me or anyone else for an Apple ID, Rescue Email, alternate email, or anything Apple-related.
If the Apple ID link above indicates your email is already in use then it is. Use https://iforgot.apple.com, select Forgot your Apple ID? and provide the information requested. If the email address is one you created and can still access, you may be able to retrieve it. If it is one someone else created, you will not.

How do I change which files are in the library?

Both my husband and I access iTunes under different login ids on one computer. I went into his iTunes to import a cd and discovered that although "his" music folder is the designated media folder, his iTunes is also displaying all of my library in his library. How do I change it so that only "his" music is displayed in his iTunes?

Album or Book?
If Album you can find the ones not already used:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> Any

How do I change my master password when the current password is to press enter (with nothing in the password blank)?

Whenever I try and change my master password I can not manage to. I got a new hard drive and the person at the apple store told me that the password was to just press enter (with nothing in password blank), and that I would be able to change it. Everytime I try and change the master password it says, "incorrect password" under the current master password blank. It has been awhile since then and I have moved so I can not go back there and get them to figure it out. So the question is, Is there anyway to change it without wiping my entire hard drive and starting over?

How to block a payment in F110, when the system does not allow us to block

Hi all
Blocking of a payment happens in the following areas :
1. In a single document Fb02 transaction we can block a document by giving A as option for not paying for that document before going to F110.
2. We can also block a vendor through Vendor master area
3. We can block a Vendor from paying through Xk05.
Now my doubt is that.... i had saved a proposal in F110, after saving it, now i want to block a payment for a vendor. But the system does not allow me to block it. Why the system does not allow the block. Or is there any type of error like this, that system does not allow the block after setting up the proposal for payment.
Can anyone help me out in this...
thanks and regards
SL

Dear,
Even you set payment block after saving the proposal system will execute that payment. So better you delete this proposal and then set payment block in the vendor line item. Thereafter system will pick that bill for payment.
Regards,
Chintan Joshi

Can a Security Banner / Disclaimer be displayed when the system boots?

We have a number of OS 9.x Macs in the company and we have now been requested to display a security banner on every PC/Mac (basically along the lines of "...to continue using this computer, you must abide by the rules laid down in the company's security policy. Click OK to continue..."
Is there a method of displaying such a message while the computer's starting up - perhaps some utility is available for such a task?
Even a message displayed on the screen, which the user has to click to remove, would be useful...
Any information would be appreciated.

Mark,
Excellent news. It'll work fine on OSX PPC Macs too. On these the startup folder is in /Library/StartupItems.
There's also a folder in /System/Library/StartupItems but this really is just for OS purposes, so don't use it.
I'm unsure as to whether it works on Intel Macs. In general it should, but the "with icon 2" bit refers to a resource number, which might be non-existent on Intel.
As for jazzing it up, for three lines, this is as good as it gets. If you want more, corporate logos, paragraphs of text that no-one ever reads, then we're going to need a bigger script. And it would almost definitely require some prep work on each Mac that would display the dialog box, putting the graphic in place and probably the text of the message too. Bigger fonts might be a bit more difficult without also some tweaking of each Mac.
There's an Applescript forum here http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724 , I'm sure if you asked there on how to develop the script they'd help. Of all the forums I use here, I find the AppleScript forum users the most knowledgeable.
If you get some good tips, post back here to let us know how you get on.
