In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

  • Paramerterized Interactive Reports - when running or clicking on a specific page how can I stop the report from rendering BEFORE the user enters parameters.

    I wasn't able to display in pic in this post 
    But it would look something like this
    Order type  -ALL- (select list)                GO (button)
    When I come into this page - the report renders ALL the data because the SQL is as follows
      AND ol.unit_selling_price <> 0
               AND(ordertype.transaction_type_id = :P1_TEXT OR :P1_TEXT IS NULL)
                ORDER BY   3
    Its setup this way because I want all records returned if the user makes no selections BUT CLICKS the "GO" or "SEARCH" button.
    I just don't all records rendered upon initial screen entry and without user having selection options....I.E initiate via a button.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Here is what you can do with out any hidden items.
    on report condition select request = e1
    and enter  GO
    Now when you hit the Go button which actually submits the page to perform the search right?
    Now create a branch and redirect to same page and in REQUEST enter: GO  (But make sure you are selecting when GO button clicked and make it first branch if you have any unconditional branches)
    So the report will be seen by the user only when he hits the GO button from that screen.
    Simple enough right?
    Thanks,
    Ramesh P.

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

    I have a pc running vista and the hard drive crashed how can i transfer my songs from Ipod nano 5th gen to my new hard drive and into itunes

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

  • ICal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?

    iCal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?
    I have several entries (too many) on calendars created prior to iCloud. They are listed as calendars 'On My Mac'. How can I get this information to my phone? I understand that iCloud makes On My Mac calendars obsolete?
    I use my phone calendar to see my duties for the day, and only add entries if I'm out and on the fly. These I don't mind typing into the iCloud calendars. But my regular process when I'm sitting in front of the computer is to add them via iCal using the On My Mac calendars created years ago, over time. I need to see this information while on the go. How can I?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
    Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

  • Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

  • How do I stop unnecessary programs from running in the background on a Macbook Pro 2010?

    Hi recently I bought a Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.3 2010 (2.4 GHz Intel Core / 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3). Im pretty content with it considering its my first Mac. Up until recently I had no problems with its speed.
    My brother directed me to the activity monitor and showed me how to quit a program. However there are still a several running programs I do not recognize and/or do not use (such as photo stream, Calendar Agent, UserEventAgent, Notification Center, AppleSpell service, cfprefsd, talagent, xpcd, imagent, com.apple.dock.extra, fontd, loginwindow, SystemUIServer, tccd, usernoted etc etc etc UGH!! The list just goes on and on. There is a circular graph at the bottom in pir form highlighted with the colors green, red, blue and yellow indicating what is taking up space or speed? If I quit Safari a huge portion of the green is highlghted. but I can not seem to get it to fill the majority of the pie graph. I see there are all these running programs (most of which I do not use or recognize) but I cannot get them to quit even if I highlight it. How can I stop this? Quite frankly its so frustrating. Again I am new to Mac.
    Thanks

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Windows for Mac hangs frequently,  how can I stop this?

    I have Windows for Mac 98, and lately I have been using that a lot to type some papers, usually for seven hours a day for long stretches. What has happened is that at least once a day, the Windows program suddenly freezes without any warning, and the beachball starts spinning. I can't do anything to stop this from happening. I usually wait a few minutes and then go to Force-Quit and shut it down (the message in Force-Quit is that Word is not responding). I can usually recover some of the work when I go to Microsoft (Auto) Recovered Documents but usually I have lost a lot of the work I have done.
    After this happening regularly, I started to save the work frequently, and hoped that if it crashed again, I could at least save all the work I had done. However, despite doing this, the recovered file had not saved the work until the most recent save, which I thought was strange.
    As my work involves frequent typing in Word documents, this is a big worry.
    I type .doc and .docx documents using Windows but from my recall (but I am not sure about this), both types of documents are involved in this problem.
    How does this problem arise? Does it have to do with the memory? The Windows is using up too much memory perhaps? Would it be the same with Pages? I don't recall this ever happening with Pages but I suppose I haven't typed really long documents in Pages yet.
    My computer is MBA version 3.2. I usually have other programs running at the same time: two browser windows, Pages, iTunes, vlc, Skype, and a program for using wifi with a USB stick. I should close as many programs as I can, I suppose while I am working in Windows, I suppose. Anything else I can do?
    Saving frequently helps but not as much as I thought it would.
    Does it have to do with my using .doc documents in this Windows program which is a .docx program? Should I install the older Windows for Mac program on the computer? Can I run the two versions of Windows for Mac simultaneously on my computer?

    (1) Does it hang or does it crash frequently?
    For the difference, see
    How to tell an application crash from a hang
    <http://marinersoftware.corphelp.com/kb_article.php?ref=5501-WIPV-2930>
    (2) Have you installed any add-ons to Word, such as EndNote CWYW?
    (3) Are you using any 3rd party font managers, such as Suitcase Fusion?
    (4) Are you using any keyboard shortcut or macro managers, such as Keyboard Maestro or TextExpander?

  • How can I stop Google Drive from crashing on Mac OS Lion?

    Every time I try to open anything on Drive on my computer, it crashes.  Whether it's a document or presentation, my computer will not open anything without the browser (Safari) crashing.  I am all up to date, and have tried opening Terminal to do sudo killall, I have re-installed Drive....and nothing has worked.  Help?!

    That would probably be a good question for Google.

  • How can I stop the fan from running continuously on my iMac?  I have tried resetting the SMC and this did not work.

    I have a 27 in. iMac OS X, Version 10.7.5, Intel Core i5 and have a problem with the very loud and annoying fan running continuously.  The fan starts up immediately upon powering up and stays on all the time.  I have researched this on the internet and have tried resetting the SMC unsuccessfully.  Should I try fan control software?

    To reset the SMC means to reset the power management settings for your Mac. To do this, follow these simple steps.
    1) Shutdown your Mac by going to the Apple Logo in the upper left hand corner of the screen and selecting "Shut Down" from the drop down menu.
    2) Turn your machine back on while continuing to hold down the power button.
    3) After the initial boot chime, your power indicator light should flash three times.
    4) Your screen will remain black and you will hear the boot chime again. At this point, you may release the power button and allow your Mac to boot up normally. 
    All the best with getting your Mac Mini to run smoothly.
