HT2476 How do I alter which programs start when I turn my iMac on?

New to Apple Mac, how do I alter which programs automatically run at Start Up?

Forgot to say that its mainly Office 2011.  I have looked at Login Items and the only one there is Itunes?  So why does Word and Excel start? and my Mail?

  • How do I change which programs start when the system boots up?

    I want to delete a program from the start up sequence so that the program does not start up automatically.  Suggestions!

  • How do I choose which items appear when I open my Imac for the day?

    How do I choose which items appear on the screen when I open my Imac (intel) for the day, after shutting down the night before? Thank you. ArmandL

    There are two ways. Mt Lion and Lion have a feature that launches all programs that were running when you logged out or shut down. You can toggle this feature on and off when you shutdown/log out. Or you can set up login items in your user settings which will automatically launch any program you set there. To do this launch System Preferences, select Users and Groups and click on the Login Items but near the top part of the dialog. Click on the + button to add programs you want to be launched when you login or start up the computer.

  • How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

    I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
    Can anyone help please?

    Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
    If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
    Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

    i keep having my finder app start as soon as i turn my macbook pro on........ can anyone help me to direct me how to choose which programs start up on startup? thanks in advance! Sam

    Finder is going to have to start at each bootup. It's how you interact with Mac OS X.
    Follow Keppy's instructions above if you have other programs that you want to load at start up.

  • How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?

    How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?  Also when you reboot Mac tries to reopen anything running before the reboot.  Is there any way to turn off that functionality?

    Hi Thomas,
    Yep True....
    Very True...
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge...
    But If User wants something else in selection screen then what is available in standard se90 or se84 or any other TCODE or Program....
    Again There can be many solution for one problem... And I provided one of the solution...
    If user wants program type in seleciton screen
    like
    Created DATE
    Created By
    Modified DATE
    Modified By
    If user wants these and may be some other details in selection screen then ???
    Alternative is to use direct SE16 as well...
    So there are many solutions to one problem... it all depends on user/customer/client's requirement...
    Correct me if i am wrong..
    Thanks & Regards

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
    [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

  • How do you silence the opening chord when you turn on the iMac?

    How do you silence the opening chord when you turn on the iMac?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend you to disable the startup sound. It indicates hardware problems when your computer is not working correctly, so it is important to leave it turned on. What you can do is to reduce the volume in OS X.
    Anyway, if you want to disable the startup sound, the easiest way is to turn off the volume in OS X.

  • How do you make the program start?

    I have installed PSE 11 twice, now; the second time after an uninstallation of the first installation.  Both times, the program started immediately FROM the installation.  After exiting from the program, I have not been able to restart the program.  I click on it; I double click on it (which should start 2 copies of the program!); I right click and click Open; I right click and click "open as administrator".  Absolutely NOTHING happens.  Is there some sort of glitch that means you have to leave the program open permanently?  Please, how do I open the program? 
    Thank you.
    Cherie Brumfield

    Thanks so much for responding.  As it happens, I had already tried that
    approach, with no results.  I also spent some time last evening with a tech
    on the Adobe Chat page, also with no results.  So I just reloaded my PSE 8
    program, which does still work!  And this morning I get a notice of an
    Adobe update to PSE 11 and, guess what?!--NOW PSE 11 works just fine!!  Go
    figure!
    All of which has nothing to do with you having responded to my plea for
    help.  I really appreciate someone responding; it's nice to know that
    people "out there" really do care.  Thank you.

  • How can I inform which program to use to open a Docx when it doesn't show in my dropdown list in attachments?

    When I attempt to open a Docx type file Thunderbird is attempting to open the document with an old version of Office (2003). I have upgraded to (2013). I have followed the suggestions of going to Tools, Options and Attachments to assign which program should be used to open which type of item. Microsoft isn't even in the list at all. How do I fix this?

    In Tools > Options > Attachments > incoming tab
    delete the action for docx documents - located in the Action drop down selection.
    It will remove it from the list.
    * Then select email with docx attachment.
    * Right click on attachment and select 'Open'
    It will ask what to do
    * Select 'Open With'
    If TB does not select as default: MicroSoft Office Word
    * click on drop down and select 'Other'
    If MicroSoft Office Word is still not available:
    * click on 'Browse' to locate the WINWORD.EXE file
    If running Windows OS 32bit then it will be in this location :
    * C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\WINWORD.EXE
    If running Windows OS 64bit then it will be in this location :
    * C:\Program Files(86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\WINWORD.EXE
    * Then click on click on 'Open'
    * select: 'Do this automatically for files like this from now on' click on OK"
