How do I disable Lr from opening on computer start-up? It's too slow.

Upon installation of Lr 2 on my Mac Pro OS 10.5, I selected an option to open Lr upon computer start-up.
However, due to the lengthy time it takes Lr to start, I would like to disable this option, but can't find any means of doing it in Lr Preferences or in the top menu items.
How can I do this?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Bob

If Light Room on your Systems Dock Click on its icon and do not release. a pop up menu should show if open at Login is checked uncheck it.
If its not checked then when open go to preferences and deselect Open at login.
If not there go to System preference Accounts > Login Items is something is there with Light room  in name either unckeck and try after restarting computer. Or remove it al together.

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening the Getting Started page - tried many things already!

    Each time I start Firefox it does two things:
    1 - It checks plugin compatibility.
    2 - It opens the Getting Started Page.
    I have just installed the latest 8.0.1. version.
    I run on Windows7 Ultimate.
    Have not used Firefox for a year due to this with previous version doing the same.
    Have tried all support recommendations: closing tabs, saving etc.
    Surprised to see no one else with these issues and no support?
    Thanks

  • How do I disable finder from opening a new window upon mount?

    When an external drive is mounted (such as an iPod in disk mode) Finder opens a new window showing the root of the new drive.
    I realise why this happens, but is there any way of disabling this feature?.
    Cheers,

    It seems that there is a special flag that can be set or cleared on the volume to control that behavior. There is an Apple developer article about it, with source code, that might help.
    http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1449.html
    I have to believe that someone has packaged up that code into a utility that can be found.

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening the Firefox start page as a tab when I open the browser?

    New Dell Laptop and new Firefox download. Have used Firefox for several years. This time it loads the Firefox Start Page automatically as a tab every time I open the browser. I can't find how to turn it off. I did not set it up to do this intentionally.

    See the [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] article for details of how to solve this.

  • How can I stop apps from opening automatically on start-up?

    I liked Snow Leopard better.  When I quit, all the apps went away, and the new start-up was clean.
    Lion forces me to wait for each app to open, unless I took the trouble to close it before shut down.
    I turned Settings > General > Restore... off, but it doesn't help.

    IF you want it (Resume) off system wide, there  are a couple of tweaks possible; here is one I have been using successfully since August:
    Go to (now hidden) User Library (hold down Option key while going to "Go" in menu bar. Once Library is open, scroll down to Saved Application State folder. Open folder and trash all contents. Do a get info (Command + I keys), unlock lock at bottom of window, input admin password, scroll up and tick the "locked" option. Lock the lock at the bottom and you're done. With the folder locked, nothing can be written to it.....
    I still make it a practice though to properly quit all applications. Since I've never worked with Windows, I've always been used to Cmd+Q any app I'm done with instead of just closing the window as it is practice in Windows. I do that because it has always been Mac OS behavior to open up automatically whatever window that was open when you shut down or restarted.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

  • How can I stop Preview from opening at startup even though it is not listed in my Login Items?

    When I log into one of my user accounts in my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion), Preview is always open. The preview window itself is not open but the application name is active in the menu bar in the top left hand corner. The Preview item on the taskbar is also lit. Both of these indicate to me that Preview is running. However, I checked my Login Items repeatedly and Preview is not even listed. I also make sure that when logging out, the "Reopen windows when logging out" is unchecked. But Preview still always opens whenever I log into this particular user account -- it does not do it in any of my other user accounts. How can I fix this?

    Thanks. I got to the bottom of it by checking Login Items. I had Flux, iTunes Helper, and Dropbox. I removed the first two from Login Items, leaving only Dropbox. However, when I rebooted and logged in, Preview was still open and Flux and iTunes Helper were back in the Login Items. To find out which application is the culprit, I looked under Flux's Preferences settings and disabled it from opening at login. I was intending to do it for every application until I find the culprit, but doing so to Flux solved the problem.

    How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?
    iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
    The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
    Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
    I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
    Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
    Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

  • How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?

    How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?  I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)

    One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
    An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys. 
    When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q.
