HT2523 Why does the TextEdit window automatically open on my Mac whenever I log in?

Why does a blank TextEdit box automatically open on my screen when I log on to my Mac?  It is also in my dock.  I didn't put it there, and this just started happening recently.

Right-click or Control-click on the icon for TextEdit in the Dock. In the popup menu that appears, go to the Options submenu and if the item "Open at Login" is checkmarked, select it to uncheck that item.
Then repeat, and if the item "Remove from Dock" is shown in the Options submenu, select it.

  • Why does the Safari window sometimes open with a 1/4 inch gap along the bottom when the desktop shows through?

    I am using a 15 inch Macbook Pro i7 2.66 GHZ. 8 GB ram. 500 GB hard drive. OS 10.6.8. All updates are done on a regular basis.
    Sometimes when I open Safari the window leaves a small 1/4 inch gap along the bottom. In this gap you can see the desktop. This is instead of the Safari window taking up the entire screen. When you click on the green button on the top left then it will open in the entire screen and the 1/4 inch gap is gone. This does not happen all the time but is annoying and I don't feel it should be happening. Does anyone know the solution so this stops happening and has anyone else ran into this?

    it's the space for your dock. if your mouse enters that area, the dock will appear. if the window just went to the bottom, it would always initiate the dock whenever you had your mouse at the bottom of the conent window. This is un intuitive and I'm sure apple did this so you wouldn't initiate the dock.
    This has become more intuitive in Lion and the dock pops up when you're at the absolute bottom of the page. which is what Sig and myself are both using.
    I've also noticed it will adjust the window to the content. are the pages you're going to small in content and therefore wouldn't stretch all the way to the bottom of your screen? like a login page or a splash page? I have notice maximize will adjust the width of the window to ASC even after I had it taking up the whole screen before toggling the green button. Hope this helps!

  • Why does the Chat window not open for the Apple Store

    I was at the Apple Store and clicked on the "Chat Now" button and tried the other "Chat" link.  Both brought up a pop-up link but the window was blank.  I tried it several times to no avail.
    I thought I would send it back to Apple as feedback but I could not find a feedback option in the menu.
    I am using the latest version of Safari, 6.0.2 (8536.26.17)

    Hello am-i-will
    Move your mouse near the header and a menu should pop up and then you should have an option to download your attachments.

  • Why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    Hi John,
    thanks for the fast response.  cs5 remembered the window position.  I like having the window in the middle as I have a 27" monitor.  I just upgraded to cs6 yesterday and I'm sure it was remembering the window document position.  I think.  If i find out how to fix this, I'll post it here.
    And while I'm on the subject of cs6, why the f*** did adobe combine the stroke and swatches pallettes?  Now I forever have to click stroke and swatch tabs all day.  And I love the army and navy file icons of photoshop and illustrator.  I won't comment on Acrobat X.  ; (

  • Why does the view window all of a sudden expand the content of the page I am viewing so that I have to go to "view" and click actual size??

    Why does the view window all of a sudden expand the content of the page I am viewing so that I have to go to "view" and click actual size??
    Then a few minutes later, it goes back to expanded again, it is driving me crazy.  how can I stop this????
    Thanks for any help.

    There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

  • Why does the video window keep minimising then opening again?

    I'm slowly working through all the problems I am having with my laptop, and this one is just a bit weird - nothing more than an inconvenience, but it sorts itself out.
    If i am watching a video / TV show in iTunes (opened in new window, not in iTunes window) and am doing something else (eg using safari), then i try to move the movie (as it is now not the active window), sometimes it moves, sometimes it pauses for no reason (I am clicking the bar with the videos name in) and sometimes it freezes, the video window minimises then instantly comes back up from the dock...
    Does anyone know why it may be doing this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    This can be a problem with session restore.<br />
    Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a crashed session.<br />
    If you have (security) software that interferes with that or have many tabs open then that cause cause a delay.<br />
    You can try to increase the session store saving interval to see if that has any effect on the freezes.

  • Why does my track window keep opening up when I don't press anything on the keyboard, followed by logic crashing?

    After five minutes of opening up logic the computer will start opening up the new track window followed by a new time signature window, this is an infinite loop that normally ends up with logic crashing. The problem started after plugging in my Yamaha psr-280 into the keyboard I've unplugged it but this seems to make no difference. Help??

  • Why does the same pdf sometimes open in Photoshop with a white bkgd and sometimes transparent?

    I am opening the same pdf file on two different computers with the same version of photoshop.  Why does it open with a transparent background on one computer and a white background on the other?  Is there any way to force it to open with a transparent background?  Thanks.
    Loni

    You have different versions of the shared PDF libraries on the different systems and/or different settings on PDF handling, most likely. This can affect transparency. The PDF libraries are shared between Adobe apps, so this may be dependent on anotehr program having changed something in that area...

  • Why does the newest version not open to the homepage no matter which way you set it up?

    The latest version of Firefox recently installed on my PC. Now, no matter which way I set the home page it does not open to that. I simply get a blank tab. Yes, I have set the page correctly and even told Firefox to open to the home page. It does not work. It will accept the settings, and I have rebooted a few times too. When I click the home icon, it opens the page so I know it is set up correctly.

  • Why does the browser window change colour when I bookmark a page or click the Downloads button?

    Using Firefox 20 on MacOS - when I click the Downloads button or Cmd-D to bookmark a page, the browser window changes from looking like this:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35912963/01-firefox-before.png
    to looking like this:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35912963/02-firefox-after.png
    Any thoughts would be welcome.

    Hi there,
    Wow, that looks odd! I have no idea why that would happen, but I wonder if it's related to one of the add-ons you have installed? I see a red icon in the status bar that I'm not familiar with, which leads me to believe that you may have other add-ons installed. One thing to try is to start Firefox Firefox with add-ons disabled (you can do this from the Help menu). If you don't see this problem in that mode, the issue is caused by one of the add-ons. From the Tools menu, you can access the add-ons and disable them one by one. Remember to restart each time and then test it out.
    If none of that takes care of this, my other suggestion would be Firefox Reset: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    Hope any of this helps.
    Cheers,
    David

  • Why does the Firefox application stay open in the background when I close it?

    I have a WN XP PRO desktop and a WN 7 Pro laptop. Every grade of Firefox has the same problen of staying open in the background at times. I have always had to restart my computers to clear it. Why can't this problem be fixed? I see that others are having the same problem. The only time that I know that it hasn't shut down is when I try opening it up. It may be running when I am using IE or Google. It has to be slowing my computers down.

    There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity.  I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon.  Is that an app you downloaded?  Did you jailbreak?
    The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes.  However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes.  Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
    Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS.  RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk.

  • Why does the browser view automatically zoom in to the first text box it sees on a web page?

    I have an iPhone 5c w/ iOS 8.  When I open a web page that has a text/chat box (form field?), the keyboard opens and the view zooms to it?  It does not matter what browser I use. This did not happen with iOS 7.
    Thanks,
    PCnetMD

    Hey there pcnetmd,
    It sounds like you're opening websites on browsers on your phone, and the screen keeps zooming in and bringing up the keyboard. I would start by troubleshooting the software on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    And restore it from your backup with this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Why does the Firefox window needs to be resized manually every time you do something? HELP!

    I'm am using a 64-bit version of windows 7.
    I installed Firefox (New PC) and when i started using it every-time i clicked on something the browser would appear to freeze. But when i re-size the window by just dragging it out it would "unfreeze" and start working again until i clicked on something.
    Posting this problem was a real chore.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling (with many versions) , i have try Waterfox and Nightly but i have been having the same problems.
    I have 8gbs of ram and 2gb graphics, i have installed all adobe plugins and silverlight and i don't know what to do?
    I don't have this problem with explorer or chrome but i hate them both. HHHEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!
    Thanks in advance!
