Imessenger and Mail auto loading on startup

Does anyone know how to stop imessenger and mail from autoloading when I start up my mac? I have mountain lion OSX. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I am glad to see that William has got you sorted with the other option where the Dialogue box appears on Shut Down, Restart or Log out.
In the System Preferences  > General Section is a setting about the individual windows of an app.
If this remains unticked then Messages will display the last windows that were on display at Quit.
This could be the main Messages window with the Chats and/or Buddy lists if you use it that way.
It also means if you Quit an App with the Preferences for the app showing then that window will appear on restarting the application.

  • Servlet failed to load on startup

    Hi all,
    I recently added a new servlet definition to my web.xml file, and specified a <load-on-startup> value of 1 for this servlet. Even though this works and the new servlet gets initialised properly, one of my old servlets with a <load-on-startup> value of 2 has stopped working. There were no changes to this old servlet, and it was working fine before. I get the following error from the weblogic logs. I have tried swapping the load order around but that doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions as to why this could happen?
    Thanks in advance

    And I still have the same problem.

  • Hide ical and mail at startup

    Hi. How do you hide ical and mail and also itunes at startup?
    I DON'T see these items listed in system preferences>users&groups>login items!

    What are you asking here?
    The programs will not auto-launch at log in unless you tell them to, so what are you trying to hide? Are they auto-launching at log in currently?

  • Date/time icon and other movable icons on menu bar cannot be loaded on startup,but it works if manually loaded

    Strange things happened since my mbp 13' (MD-101) was upgraded to 10.8.4 ----------- time icon, battery icon,and language icon (these icons can be moved when held Command key and drag) cannot be loaded on startup, but they still can be loaded when you get into System Preferences and manually  turn them on, as well as iStat Menus
    However, some other icons didn't bother, things like BetterTouchTool, NewsBar. They are immovable!! I guess it is the key factor that the icon is movable or not making the difference.
    Someone please lend me a helping hand?
    I've attached some pictures in order to make my situation easier to be understood.
    these icons can't be loaded on my loggin in.
    but they can be loaded manually
    however, these icons will be loaded on startup
    I've almost despaired to resolve it . Thanks for your help!

    I have a similar issue. When the computer goes into "Hibernate" mode -- that is, it loses power while sleeping and it writes the contents of it's memory to disk in order to boot into that exact configuration when woken up -- many of my icons when Apple-Tab'ing to another application appear as static. They look like a slightly colorized version of the "static snow" you see when tuning into a station that doesn't exist on a UHF antenna television. Also, icons in Chrome such as web sites "favorite icons" or favicon.ico (the icons that appear in the URL bar and bookmarks) will be scrambled in the same fashion , at first , until the actual icon is loaded.
    Between this, my menu bar and finder icons not displaying, and being unable to boot into safe mode, I'm getting quite ******. I have no idea what the **** is going on with my Macbook Pro. The issue of the scrambled icons actually existed prior to installing an SSD and doing a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I may end up throwing in the towl and re-installing the operating system but I'm sure SOMETHING will happen. It seems the latest update, 10.8.2, is absolute garbage.
    What the ****, Apple? And I really don't want to take the computer to the morons at the Apple Store. They are not "geniuses" by any measure.

  • How do I enable Firefox 4 to do a search on more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail") without receiving the error message "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"?

    After loading Firefox 4.0, I changed the address bar search engine to Google Search by Name, so I'd be taken straight to the most relevant webpage when I type in a word.
    It works fine when I type in one word, but if I use a search with more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail" or "google maps") I get an alert saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". Is there any way I can fix the address bar to accept multiple word searches?
    I've tried disabling all my add-ons, but it didn't make any difference.

    Hi, this should sort out your problem:
    1. Type in "about:config" into the address bar, this will open the settings menu. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    2. Search for "keyword.URL" in the filter bar.
    3. Enter "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=" into the value field.
    I'm no expert, but I had the same problem which got on my nerves after being so used to being able to type anything in, and following these steps fixed it.

  • Mail Problems: Loading and Quitting

    This might turn out to be a long discription, but bear with me...
    I had problems with Mail today--I had just received an iTunes receipt and Mail crashed; it appeared as if the program got stuck loading the new message. When I reopened Mail, none of my messages were loading and it appeared as if I had nothing in my Inbox or any of my other folders. I found on an Apple Discussion post that I should try shutting off the Internet and holding the Shift key down while opening Mail. This worked, so I continued on with the instructions in the threat, which told me to put my Envelope Index and a copy of the Mail folder on the desktop. This prompted me to reopen Mail; Mail then reloaded all my messages and sort of "started over" if you will.
    At first, this process appeared to have fixed the problem, but I tried quitting Mail, and now Mail won't quit. The window disappears, but the arrow still points toward the icon in the dock, indicating that the program is still open. When I click on the Icon, the top Menu bar changes to Mail, and Mail is highlighted blue. I am forced to "Force Quit" and reopen. Sometimes, after I do this, I have the same problem where the messages won't load and it appears as if I have no mail in my Inbox or other folders.
    I've repaired permissions and cleaned my Mac using Onyx. What now? I can't lose all my messages in my Mail program--I have tons saved!
    Thanks!

    Hello Jessica.
    This might turn out to be a long discription, but
    bear with me...
    I love detailed descriptions...
    It could be that the crash caused some filesystem corruption, so you should start by verifying/repairing your disk, as described in this article (note that it's not repairing permissions what I'm talking about here):
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    If the problem persists after having fixed all filesystem issues, it could be that the Mail preferences file itself became corrupted and Mail chokes on it when trying to save changes, so you may want to try this (skip step 2 if you already have a backup copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop):
    1. Make sure Mail is not running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

  • My mac mail will not search mail anymore and doesn't load attachments anymore

    Does anyone know why this would be happening?
    My mac mail will not search mail anymore and doesn't load attachments most of the time.  When I enter some text in the search box no results come up and I know there are messages that contain the phrase that I've entered.
    Also about 3 weeks ago attachments only get loaded about 1/4 of the way - if that.  So I have to log onto my web based mail program from the host and retrieve attachements or check the messgae with my iphone.
    Please - does anyone know how to fix this?

    I figureed out that spotlight was turned off via terminal -  I shut it off to unmount a disk (which didn't work anyways)
    sudo mdutil -a -i on
    that's the termianl command to turn spotlight back on.  As far as my attachments not fully loading in mac mail on my iMac that still baffles me.

  • I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

    I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

    Go under settings, mail, contacts and calendars and then choose only to sync back 50 or 100 or 1000 mails. Chances are you don't really need the old ones on your device and it'll save room (I have mine set to 50)

  • Load on startup servlet and references

              Weblogic 6.1 SP2
              No jars specified in the classpath. A Singleton is located in a utility.jar file
              inside a .ear file.
              If I create a Singleton from a load on startup servlet, how long will the singleton
              be around? I know that if I undeploy the application, the singleton will be destroyed
              since the classloader is unloaded. However, if I never undeploy my application,
              will the Singleton always be around? Does Weblogic keep a reference alive to
              this Singleton forever?
              Please provide some more details on this!
              Thanks.

              A class object is not an instance object. If the class object has been loaded by the
              classloader, it will not be unloaded or garbage collected, regardless of whether or not
              it has static methods. If an instance of a class is instatiated on the heap, and a
              reference to that object is placed in a static member of its associated class object,
              also referred to as a class member, then the instance will not be garbage collected.
