I just downloaded OS X Lion and now every time I turn on my computer everything opens.
Today I downloaded the OS X Lion, and now when my computer starts up, all my programs open. I have to close them just to get back to the desktop.
Help!
Thank you,
Gena.
Are they the same applications, no matter what you had open when you Shutdown the computer last?
A new feature of Lion is Resume. Everything opens the same as when you Shutdown:
Resume
Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.

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 just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..
Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash. -
Can anyone give me advise on how to stop the Excel, Word and Outlook from my Microsoft Univeristy 365 from automatically opening each time I turn on my MacBookPro?
Hi jau340,
When you log off of your Mac, make sure that the box that says "Reopen windows when logging back in" is not checked:

I bought iphoto 11 for my mac book pro. I already had an older version of iphoto. Every time I use iphoto 11 is turns my computer off abruptly. Please advise. Thank you.
Do you get this type of screen:
If so boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try launching iPhoto again. If that's successful reboot normally and try iPhoto again.
If the window isn't as shown above as a quick test try this: Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.
Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.
Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
Cancell both downloads anyway.
Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed, Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now. -
I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.
I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.
I'm very new at the whole i-tunes idea and would consider myself a total amature!!All I'm really looking for is a way to sing karaoke songs at home as a rehearsal in case I go out sometime.
I thought the iTunes version would have lyrics or that I could move it with lyrics into a Karaoke program that I downloaded.
Alas, this is beginning to seem like an impossibility. -

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?
