How do I stop Pages 5.2.2 from opening on start up

When I start up my MBP, Pages opens along with Safari.  It sits there in the Dock and does the "bounce" about 50 times driving me nuts.  How can i stop it from opening.  I can't find anyplace to do this in settings.
Maverick 10.9.5

Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Users & Groups > Your Account > Login Items > uncheck Pages
Sounds like it is trying to open a damaged file, hold down the shift key when starting Pages and it will ignore the previous document.

  • How do I stop the Mac Store app from opening whenever I start my computer?

    How do I stop the Mac Store App from opening upon startup of my Mac Book Pro?  It will not let anything else open and then it stalls when I try to close the window.

    Deselect that option and the check mark will disappear.

  • How do I stop extra windows or programs from opening automatically when I access my Applications folder via Finder?

    Each time I access my Applications folder via Finder, a bunch of ejectable windows or previously downloaded programs open up on the desktop. I have ejected each one or placed it in the trash, but it still happens. How do I stop this from happening?

    I asked the same question on Yahoo! Answers, and I was advised to reinstall Firefox, which I have just done (with version 3.6.8). The problem seems to be solved. Prior to doing this, I attempted to uninstall my previous version, but Control Panel wouldn't let me do this, nor would Windows Explorer allow me to send the whole Mozilla Firefox folder to the Recycle Bin. I went to Plan C, which was to delete all the subfolders in the main folder, followed by the leftover files, and finally empty the Recycle bin. Then I used Internet Explorer to download the newer version of Firefox, and installed it. No more extra home pages, so far.

  • How can i stop iTunes 7 for Windows from opening automatically whenever I browse my Music Folder in Windows?

    Whenever I'm browsing through my files on my PC, if I open the iTunes folder inside my music folder, iTunes automatically launches.  If I close iTunes without browsing away from this folder, it simply re-opens itself.
    edit:  I have no Apple devices currently connected to the computer and WiFi Sync is disabled.
    How can I stop this behaviour?

    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 the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

    On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
    How do I fix?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • How do I stop spam tabs/new windows from opening constantly every time I click on anything?

    Hi! I have been having this issue recently of new tabs and windows opening constantly on my MacBook whenever I click on whatever website. I mean, even when I was trying to write the question to post on this forum, a new window popped and opened in the back ... without me clicking on something related whatsoever! I read that it might be malware or similar stories, but nothing works, I don't seem to make them stop under any circumstances. Please help because I am sick and tired of closing unnecessary popping tabs and windows all day long. I use safari and I have a MacBook Air.

    And ofcourse I found the answer as soon as I posted the question (doesn't it always happen that way?). I went to Preferences - General -  and checked the box "Close windows when quitting an application".

  • How can I stop Mozilla and some extensions from opening new tabs every time I open firefox, even with no updates?

    I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 on a Windows 7 laptop. Since upgrading to 9.0 and then 9.0.1 Mozilla and Speed Dial open new tabs as if they've been updated, even though there has been no update. Colorful tabs 8.0 did it as well, but I disabled it.

    Do you have BitDefender (2010 e.g.) with its toolbar? If yes, remove it because the BD toolbar is known to be buggy and cause this issue (add-on compatibility check at each Firefox start).
    And report here the BD toolbar version you have.

  • How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

    how can i stop Pages and Numbers  screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

    Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
    the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
    but thanks anyway. SG.
    if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
    (it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
    restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
    maybe i need a new Mac ?
    mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

  • How do I stop extra tabs from open on start up?

    How do I stop extra tabs from open on start up? When I save new tabs the next time I open I have the new saved tabs. On the next opening after that are the same 7 tabs I don't want and didn't save. edit

    Make sure that the pages aren't set as multiple home page, see
    * [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    See also:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • How do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • How can I stop  Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

    I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
    I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Edit>Preferences
    Under Page Display:
    Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
    Also, under Search:
    Click "Purge Cache Contents"

  • HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

    How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
    Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
    - displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
    - not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
    I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
    It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

    Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
    (It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

  • How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?

    How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?
    I set it up to do this a couple years ago but I forgot exactly how I did it.  Now I need to know how to stop it.
    What version of iPhoto? v9.6
    Of the OS? 10.10.1
    How are you importing photos? The photos (camera roll) from my wife's iPhone 5 syncs via wifi to my iPhoto account on the the laptop.  This happens when she logs on to the laptop.  We do not use the same Apple ID.
    Like I said, I did this a couple years ago.   I totally forgot how I did it and what method (iTunes settings?, Mac settings?, iPhone setting?) I utilized.
    I was over at the forum which deals with iPhoto but they feel it is an iCloud issue.

    Understood.
    What version of iPhoto? v9.6
    Of the OS? 10.10.1
    How are you importing photos - PhotoSream? - iTunes sync? finder? image capture?exactly what are you doing and how are you doing it?

  • I have downloaded an app which I think is to large to my IPAD as it has read loading for hours now. How do I stop it and clear it from the pad. I have tried the normal holding down the icon but nothing happens?

    I have downloaded an app which I think is to large as it has jammed. The icon just reads loading. How can I stop it and clear it from my  pad????

    Have you tried a reset to see if it resumes after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
