I want to prevent MyDay from starting up when I switch on. I have followed all instructions for doing this, but to no effect. I have unlocked and relocked.

I use an Macbook from 2006 with OS X 10.7.5
MyDay starts up every time I switch on. I don't use it, so want to remove it from the list of programs which start automatically. I have followed all instructions for doing this, and have of course unlocked and relocked the relevant page in Systems Preferences, but the instruction never 'sticks', and MyDay still starts every time. Anyone know what to do?

Check StartupItems...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/StartupItems
Click Go. If you see any reference to MyDay, delete it. That does not delete the app Just keeps it from launching when you startup your Mac.
Just to be sure, you checked System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items ??
Unlocking or locking the padlock icon only prevents other users from changing your preferences.

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook? We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we plug in an iPad.

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

I am unable to sync my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success. Can any one help

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

HT4061 I have an iPhone 3G , it is not connected to any Company, but before was in AT&T.- and i want to connect it with Metro PCS, I follow all instruction for unblocked but the IMEI doesn't appear on the Screen phone.- In the card the number is 15 digit

I have a iPhone 3G,.- I has been a gift from my son who bought another model more sofisticated.
I wish to unlock it and pass from AT&T to metro PCS because I use so much my phone for business issue and it is more economic for me use Metro. ok
I paid around $ 20.00 for unlocked and the company requested a number that must to appear when I dial *#06#.- I did it but nothing wrong.- The Company told me "remove the card in the top" but the number has more than 15 digits : (20 digits) so, I got the first 15, but the company said those are not right.-
In a conversation with them, they recommended to go to the Apple page in the web, and I have been travelling and I found to be member of this group, because I think, after that, i can help others too,
i am electrical Engineer since 1974 and recently finished an Associated in electronic.- I am 63 years old and love to work in Industrial System in Power, Control and Electronic.- Although I have my own business, i want to work for a company because I love the industry, and , in order to get the money from customers, is each day harder, so, I prefer to work in the Industry System and do my own projects in my extra time since I never ever think in retairement because my work is a pleasure.

ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

How do i safe boot?
when you say "safe booting" do you mean restarting/shutdown and restart? because i restarted my macbook air while holding down the shift key while it was starting up but there was not luck either, the problem was still there when i restarted it again.

Prevent iChat from starting at login

How do I prevent iChat from starting at login? I looked in my account login items and it is not listed there. I shut the app completely before shutting down the computer so it shouldn't be automatically be relauncing due to the "reopen windows" setting in Lion. Just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
With iChat Open check the Window Menu about which windows are actually open
The App should be Quit at the end rather than hitting the red blobs on the windows (this only closes/Hides the windows and does not Quit the app)
Are you getting Off Line IMs when it starts up ?
If this is the case it is a "feature" rather than a fault although you don't have a lot of control over it.
In earlier versions the support app iChatAgent "Listens" to the AIM Server in particular and will answer if an Off Line IM is sent.
If iChat is closed down iChatAgent will launch it.
In iChat 6 this is done by IMAgent (it does the same job for FaceTime if it's preferences are set to ON but the app is not launched)
Most likely it is a window that belongs to iChat that is not getting closed.
At the same time it may not be in view (the Window Menu should give clues).
It could be Off Line IMs

Want to prevent someone from printing photos on DVD

I have made a DVD using 140 photos in a saved slideshow. I will be giving this DVD to someone to view. I want to prevent anyone from printing my photos. What do I need to do to prevent this?

I want to prevent anyone from printing my photos. What do I need to do to prevent this?
Tell them they shouldn't print them, that the photos are your property, and you'll have to trust them not to violate that trust. And if you don't trust them don't work for/with them.
There are very few ways if any to really protect this kind of stuff. I'd put watermarks on the photos before making the slideshow. And since slideshows are 72 dpi, and good photos need much higher resolution for printing, don't worry about it so much.

Snippet to start one an element and prevent another from starting

I need help. I need a snippet to start one an element and prevent another from starting. they are at the same place in the timeline and need to be there for other elements. but right now when I click one the other plays also how do I stop one from playing when the other is clicked?

I need it to show. its a header and a footer that move in and out. but they need to stay on the same timeline in order for the side controls that move in and out from the side. because when they play they move the header in and out. lol did you get that? Thanks for the comment.

Prevent iTunes from starting sync?

I'm sure there must be a way to do this - my iPods are set to automatically begin syncing when connected, but I'd like to either stop it once started or prevent it from starting so I can change some of the options first. Is that possible?
thanks.
Sally

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
