I just down loaded lion and now every time i turn on the computer every single thing i had used in the last session opens up--how do i stop this?

I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!

Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

I have just down loaded Lion and now I find my iMac is not Antivirus protected

I downloaded Lion and had to Turn off the iAntivirus while downloading and now it wont the Antivirus says my Mac is not protected. I tried to click on the Antivirus icon but nothing happened it is still at OFF So I tried clicking on the icon in Appliications but No still at off so what can I do help please/

Since there are NO KNOWN VIRUSES for the Mac, you don't have to do anything. If you just feel like you have to have it, see if there is a Lion compatible version of whatever you were running. Or........you could just send me the upgrade money and we'd both be happy!

I down loaded Lion and now I can not access Quicken

I down loaded Lion and now I cannto acces Quicken or any of my financial information. What do I do? Is there any way for me to be able to access Quicken again?

cglasgow123, although you should have checked compatibility of your apps with Lion before upgrading, since any major system update can cause these sorts of problems, that does not help you solve your problem. Just keep it in mind for the future, so you don't make the same mistake.
There are a number of Quicken replacements out there. See Finding a Replacement for Quicken for some excellent guidance. I strongly suggest you begin migrating to one of these programs soon, as Intuit has a very poor record with how it treats its Mac-using customers. They have promised an update to the years-outdated Mac version of Quicken "sometime in the spring." I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
You could try using Quicken Essentials in the short term, which is a dumbed-down version of Quicken for Mac users that will run on Lion.
If nothing else works for you, and you absolutely have to run your old copy of Quicken, you have three choices. One, you could install Snow Leopard and Quicken on an external hard drive and boot from that whenever you need to use Quicken. Two, you could install Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine and run it, and Quicken, within Lion. (Post over on the Snow Leopard Server forum for assistance with that, I don't know the details.) Three, you could revert to Snow Leopard entirely, though that will be a painful process requiring you to erase your hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and everything else from scratch.

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

I've down-loaded Lion, and now I can't attach documents when I send email. I use hotmail.

I down-loaded 10.8.2 and now I can't attach documents to emails. I use hotmail as my primary address. I receive an error message stating that the documents are corrupted. I had no problems with this prior to upgrading to 10.8.2. What can I do?

Try setting the email settings, server, etc. to those in this webpage by Roger Wilmut: iCloud Mail settings in Snow Leopard

Help - I just installed Mountain Lion and now my MacBook Pro crashes all the time

Hi everyone. I've recently installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and now it randomly crashes. I tried finding the pattern (maybe when I open a specific app, or go through a series of steps) but nothing, it just happens, and it feels random.

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
Good luck,
Clinton

I never answered security questions and now Apple is asking me what the answers are... how do I fix this?

Apple is asking for answers to security questions that I have never answered before and there is no option to change this. What do I do?

I keep getting calls from non existing area codes and phone numbers. They are never the same number twice. How do I stop this?

About a week ago I started getting phone calls on my cell phone from numbers that do not exist, including the area codes. I can not report these to the Do Not Call list because the area code is non existent. I'm getting these calls all the time now and never from the same number twice so there's no point in blocking them. If I answer I may or may not get a person who has an accent from India so heavy that I can't understand what they are saying. This is getting to the point where I just want to cry I'm so frustrated. Anyone else having this issue or does anyone know how to stop it?
Thank you

I'm sorry that you are having all these troubles. I have sent you a private message.

I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open. Any help would be appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this?

I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this? I allways found that handy. Now I have to click on an icon on the top, This is a backward step if that is now the only way to see the number of items. Am I missing something obvious?

In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way.
