How do I stop a program from opening at start up? (iPhoto)
Also, my mac recently shuts down completely while in sleep mode. Any reason why this happens?

If the app is opened when you shut down the Mac, untick Restore windows when logging back in. Open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items and delete iPhoto

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

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 you stop Audigy programs from loading at start

I posted yesterday regarding my sound card (Audigy 2 ZS Platinum) taking up a large amount of CPU.
I went into my BIOS and basically assigned every free IRQ to my PCI cards and yet again changed the slot that the card sits on. Everything is back to normal and I think I might know why, which is where my question comes in.
Thankfully, XP allows me to use the card without rebooting. If I do reboot, I have a feeling 3 things will happen.
. A pop up window will appear at the top of my screen that allows me to control certain aspects of the card.
2. A program will appear in my task bar (white with blue headphones) which allows me to run Creative Programs.
3. My CPU will jack up again.
Because I didn't have to reboot when i re-installed the card, these two programs are not running.
My question is, how do I stop those two programs from loading at start up? I've closed them down in the past after a reboot and it does not help, so obviously something is loading with them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That is not part of Firefox, but appears to be an add-on. You appear to have this add-on installed - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3481/

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"

How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

while True:
and just indent everything else under it
Ends when you press ^C.
if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

I don't have any problem attaching just a MS Word file in Mail. My process is pretty simple....with a message open I click the attach icon (paperclip) at the top of the message, then navigate to where the file is located and select it. I make sure I have the cursor at the bottom of the new message below my signature line. FWIW I use MS Word 2011.

Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

How can i stop sharepoint designer from opening my site with WEBDAV

I have a second collection in my web application for Project Server
http:\\servername\PWA.
Whenever I try to edit a page using sharepoint designer, it tells me that
The website has been configured to disallow page editing with Sharepoint Designer.
That isnt the reason. Searching on the interweb, It seems that whenever you have a second collection, designer always connects using Webdav and this doesn't support designer.
So ----- Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem without installing PWA as it's own Web Application?
Thanks in advance - Mickeal Davis

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to stop sharepoint designer from opening my site with WEBDAV.
What’s the main reason of the problem that related to Project Site Template this by default set to DisableWebDesignFeatu es in
ONET.XML.
To enable edit Project Site in SharePoint Designer, you need to remove the DisableWebDesignFeatures="wdfopensite" from ONET.xml of the PWA site.
More information:

How do I stop unnecessary programs from running in the background on a Macbook Pro 2010?

Hi recently I bought a Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.3 2010 (2.4 GHz Intel Core / 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3). Im pretty content with it considering its my first Mac. Up until recently I had no problems with its speed.
My brother directed me to the activity monitor and showed me how to quit a program. However there are still a several running programs I do not recognize and/or do not use (such as photo stream, Calendar Agent, UserEventAgent, Notification Center, AppleSpell service, cfprefsd, talagent, xpcd, imagent, com.apple.dock.extra, fontd, loginwindow, SystemUIServer, tccd, usernoted etc etc etc UGH!! The list just goes on and on. There is a circular graph at the bottom in pir form highlighted with the colors green, red, blue and yellow indicating what is taking up space or speed? If I quit Safari a huge portion of the green is highlghted. but I can not seem to get it to fill the majority of the pie graph. I see there are all these running programs (most of which I do not use or recognize) but I cannot get them to quit even if I highlight it. How can I stop this? Quite frankly its so frustrating. Again I am new to Mac.
Thanks

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
