How do I stop programs opening automatically when i log onto my macbook?

When I log onto my macbook, about 6 programs open automatically. they are not listed on my 'Login Items' and I dont know how to stop them popping up.
Any help would be appreciated!!

You do not clarify which email client you are using
For Mac's mail the only way I know for more control is the Mail AttachmentTamer a easy and free to use plug-in

  • How do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?

    how do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?
    programs such as.. email and Skype.
    When i go to system preferences, then users & groups, then to my name, log in items ....this box is clear, i have unchecked everything, yet things still start up......

    sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
    system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
    unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
    Hope this is helpful or answers the question.

  • Firefox opens automatically when I log in?

    We have an iMac with four different user accounts. Whenever I log in on my account, Firefox opens automatically, and it seems to take a long time. This suddenly started happening a few weeks ago, and I certainly never tried to make my computer do this. Firefox does not open automatically when any of the other users login. How do I make it stop happening, since I don't always want Firefox right away?

    Go to System Preferences>Accounts>the name of your account>Login items at the bottom of the list of accounts and look at your login items. Remove Firefox and it will stop opening when you log on.

  • How do I stop mail opening automatically if I click email link in browser?

    This is more an annoyance than a problem, but: I usually avoid doing this, but sometimes I forget, that when I click on an embedded email in a webpage that Mail will open and set up a composing box for that address (this is when the mailto: command is invoked, I suppose). Is there any way to disable this? I don't use the Mail application, and would just like it to stop.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the Preferences to Mail you can set the Default Mail application to whatever you prefer.
    Mail -> Preferences -> Default Mail Reader
    Thereafter your preferred application will appear when you click a Mailto link,
    Regards

  • How do I stop Photoshop from launching when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

    I subscribe to Adobe CC. Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC launches. I want this to stop. When I right click on the Photoshop app > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items >  Photoshop is not there. What can I do? I am sure it is a simple fix. Thanks!

    As I mentioned when I right click on the Photoshop app in the dock > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items >  Photoshop is not there in the list. I do not have any utilities installed that automatically launch applications and I do not mess with scripts or even know how to.
    I tried calling Adobe's poor outsourced customer service and was told there was a 2-5 minute wait, but after waiting 22 minutes, I had to hang up.

  • When I log onto my macbook, my user account isn't showing up. All that shows up is a gray screen with only two boxes saying "Name" and "Password". How do I fix this?

    There was one time where my wi-fi wasn't connecting so I tried to turn it back on. A window popped up but I had alrdy clicked enter before I read it, but it said something like "...will change settings, is that okay...?" And then wi-fi still would not connect. So I tried restarting my computer, but when it turned on, my user account did not show up and all there was on the screen was two boxes that asked for name and password. I was the only person using my macbook so I never set up a password for it. Has anyone had this problem? How do I fix this?

    Since I'm not in front of your computer I can't tell what you see - I can only guess and give a hint. So once again, if the disk name on your Mac is "Macintosh HD", when you boot in Recovery Mode, and start up the Terminal in "Utilities" menu, and then type in the command:
        df -k
    you should see a list of "volumes" - one of which is named "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" (but yours could be anything) and in that folder there is another folder called "Users" and in that folder is the names of the home directories of the user accounts (and the names that you can enter into the login screen) that you are looking for. So if you are not familiar with using the Terminal you should say so and I can give more details. But assuming you're OK with typing in commands to theTerminal this is what I would try:
        ls -l /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users
    and you should see something like the following (my disk name is "Yosemite" so I typed "ls -l /Volumes/Yosemite/Users")
    ML9Book:~ xxxx$ ls -l /Volumes/Yosemite/Users
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x+  11 Guest      _guest   374 Oct 25 19:23 Guest
    drwxr-xr-x+  33 Jack       staff   1122 Oct 24 10:49 Jack
    drwxrwxrwt   13 root       wheel    442 Dec 27  2013 Shared
    drwxr-xr-x+  38 admin      staff   1292 Oct 25 16:59 admin
    drwxr-xr-x+  15 x13        staff    510 Oct 23 22:41 x13
    drwxr-xr-x+  12 514        staff    408 Oct 23 12:24 x14
    So now reboot your mac into normal mode - and you will see the login screen with the two empty boxes.
    So the above output tells me that there are 3 users - Jack, x13 and x14 (there is always a Shared user and there might or might not be a Guest user since it depends on how your setup was setup) - and these 3 are the names that I could try and enter into the login screen (in the top or first box). You can try no password, but I don't think you can create accounts without passwords, so this will likely fail. In that case you need to reboot in recovery mode and run the Terminal command again (from the Utilities menu) and do a resetpassword command. Another window will pop up and from there you select the Volume (in my case I selected the Yosemite volume - in your case you would select the "Macintosh HD" if that is what your volume name is). Then select the user account you want to reset the password from the drop-down list of user accounts (it will show you the long and short names, and the short name is what was in the listing above from the "ls -l" command), then enter the new password in the indicated box, and then enter it again in the next box, to make sure you didn't make a typo, and enter a password hint in the last box (optional). Then click the "Save" button and you will see another dialog box pop up telling you that the password was changed but not the Keychain password (hopefully you remember this one) - click the OK button then reboot back in normal mode (click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen and click on Restart).
    Does this help?

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
    Nathan
    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if
