How do I disable "reopen Apps" during the reboot process?

Help!! I hit something while all apps were selected and my computer is trying to launch everything. Because of Lion I can't resart and fix this, it just tries to relaunch everything. Also I can't get to my system preferences because 100 apps are trying to simultaneously launch, including games that take over the screen that I cannot quit because everything is trying to launch!

Welcome to the iOS world of nonthinking, wherein the OS decides everything for you, whether or not that's what you want. Salient details described in http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html#resume
For your current issue, all I can suggest is to let it launch everything, then selectively select an app, close all of its windows, and quit the app.
Once you sort those out, see these for steps to resolve indiscriminate resuming:

  • I missed some steps during the installation process of iOS7 to my iPhone. How do I fix it?

    I have a 16GB, white, not jailbroken 4S. During the instalation process it asks me to connect to wi-fi to set someting about the Find my iPhone, iCloud and iMessage. Unfortunately I don't have wi-fi so I just click the "continue " at the top-right corner. How do I fix it? Please help.

    What I did was I accept the terms and condition for the iCloud.
    I turned on my iMessage. I still have questions.
    First for the iMessage, how will you know if you're using the iMessage?
    Will there be deductions to my credit if I'm using iMessage?
    And my third question is, I press the "Lost Mode" in Find my iPhone app, ask me a number to where the person who found my iPhone can call me, followed some steps, and after a minute it appeared that my iphone is lost and there's a message like "this iPhone is lost, please call this number". Is it normal?
    Sorry for having many questions, I'm still not used to iOS7. Hope you can answer all my questions

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • How do I remove an app from the menubar

    I deleted an app form my lanchpad when it was requesting a password as resident on the menubar and when I try to quit it at the menubar it does not close.  How do I remove this app from the menubar?

    Command-click it and drag it out. If that doesn't work, find and run an uninstaller for that application.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How can I delete an app from the cloud??

    how can I delete an app from the cloud, so nobody can download it again to my phone?? please I tried from the computer but it just hide the app from purchased, and still appears in the app store with the cloud on it

    At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone.  Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

  • I have an old ipod touch, and have just purchased a new 4th Gen one. How do I get my Apps from the old one to the new one. I've had to wipe the hard drive on my Pc so they aren't in my I tunes.

    I have an old ipod touch, and have just purchased a new 4th Gen one. How do I get my Apps from the old one to the new one. I've had to wipe the hard drive on my Pc so they aren't in my I tunes.

    - Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod  under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.

  • How do I install an app on the application page in Lion?

    How do I intall additional apps in the launchpad in Lion?

    Well, Appleworks is a PowerPC application, so it won't run on Lion and therefore would not show up in the LaunchPad. The others could also be in the same category depending on how old they are. Office 2004 and before are PowerPC apps. I think the iWork suite was universal, but I'm not sure. All the rest you'll have to verify that they are at least Universal or Intel.

  • How does one disable a button in the web UI?

    How does one disable a button in the web UI? I am trying to disable the edit button in the web UI for Accounts. What are the steps to take in order to accomplish that?

    Hi Abdul,
    Locate the Toolbar group group for that application. It should be ACC_OIC01 in your case. You can deactivate a specific button (event) under the toolbar group.
