IPad 2 Question - Graphics Program Automatically Opens???

Hello!
Whenever I connect my iPad 2 to my computer, iTunes opens, but it also causes my graphic program to open, which is very annoying. I looked thru preferences in iTunes with no luck. Any ideas??
Thanks!

Resolved Issue . . . Posting Resolution in case someone has same issue
I found where to specify by going to My Computer which showed my iPad icon, then I right clicked to get Properties, and it allowed me to change the option to Open With Specific Program, which was PhotoImpact, or Take No Action, which is what I change it to.
Thanks for everyones help!!!

Programs automatically open last several documents - causing serious lag and confusion.

Since upgrading to Lion (clean install of 10.7.3), I've noticed that many programs have some extreme lag. Programs that used to love because they were so fast (like preview) now take up to 45 seconds of spinning pinwheels before opening. I've also noticed that when I open a program (such as preview), the program automatically opens the last several documents I had been working on. This is true across several platforms and programs including Preview, Word, Powerpoint, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., etc., etc., - - as you all are probably aware some power point and InDesign files can be pretty massive and hog up a lot of processing power/RAM when opening. It's really frustrating when these are documents I'm not actually interested in working on. It's also frustrating that when in a meeting with my boss, if I open photoshop pictures of a recent family vaction will automatically open up. Terribly unprofessional.
How can I make this stop?
If I didn't already say, I'm running 10.7.3 on a newer (fall 2011) 13" MBP.

Couple of things to try -
• Go to System Preferences > General; in the Section "Recent Items", uncheck the item "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
• With the program (such as Preview) open, go to its File menu, select "Open Recent..." - from that submenu, select "Clear menu".

Program automatically opens at start up

do a spotlight search for the program there may be an alas in the startup items folder. if there is just trash it also in the program look in its preferences there may be an option to turn that feature off ("open on startup/ bootup" normaly it is this in msn)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have OS X Mountain Lion or Lion and you turn off your computer with those applications opened, Mac OS X will open them the next time you start Mac OS X. To avoid this, open  > Shut Down and unmark Restore windows when logging back in

When sharing a link from Firefox, the program automatically opens Internet Explorer and not Thunderbird. Can Thunderbird be made the default for sharing links from Firefox?

When sharing a link or page via email, either the webpage or Firefox will open up Internet Explorer to share the link or page. As I use Thunderbird for emailing, could Firefox open Thunderbird automatically instead of internet Explorer?

From Firefox, I click on "File' and then 'Email link'.
This results in a new Outlook message opening automatically, with the URL copied into the body of the message.
I then add my own text, see the screenshot image. That's where the formatting problems come in!

Automatically open a program after opening a program

Here's what I want to do... I have a menubar program that gives me info about the current iTunes track. Thing is, I don't want the program to open until I open iTunes. Is there a way to have the program automatically open when I open iTunes? (and maybe even automatically quit when I close iTunes?) Thanks!

Scripts run under the current user account and can only affect the current user's environment. Therefore you can't have a script run as user A that affects user B's environment (e.g. launch an application in the other user's environment).
Therefore there's no way (I can think of) for a script to initiate a fast user switch followed by launching an app in the second user's account.

In yahoo email at attatchment will not automatically open as it does with other computers with firefox

on all my other computers running firefox/yahoo/mail , if I open an attachment(ie pdf) the appropriate program automatically opens the attatchment. On this computer it only goes as far as the download window and I then have to tell it to open from the download window.This is a win-xp os. my others are win7.

hello, does it work when you set the download actions accordingly in the firefox > options > applications panel?

Differents between open csv file by mannually and program automatically?

Dear great master
I haved been consfused by a problem deeply.
Why a csv file if already open can be detected by mannually. can't be detected by program automatically.
I verify this phenomenon by below procedure:
First:
Execute <simple_ErrCode_modify_by_NI2.vi> at both computer respectively.then open csv file mannually,thus two programs both can detect the csv file already
open. also can enter case5 and wait case5's loop.
Second:
Compare with First produre.firstly,execute <simple_ErrCode_modify_open_csv_atloop1.vi> in one computer , Adding while loop after open/creat/replace file ,thus
can maintain csv file open all the time.
secondly,execute <simple_ErrCode_modify_by_NI2.vi> in the other computer.I find that <simple_ErrCode_modify_by_NI2.vi> cann't enter case5.
Through above,
I confused that why program can detect csv file already open by mannually.
cann't detect csv file already open by the other pragram open.
Why have thus two kinds of mechanism in labview .
Can who great master help me and answer me .
mentioned program attached.
Thanks earnestly.

If I understand your question, the answer lies in the access programs request when they open files. First, a program can have read-only, write-only or read-write access. Second, they can specify exclusive or nonexclusive access to a file. If a program requests and get exclusive access to a file, no other process can open it for any reason.
Now when you open a file manually, what you are really doing is opening it using the default program specified in Windows. So its a matter of how that program opens files.

How do I set up iTunes to automatically open when I plug in my iPad

How can I set up my iTunes program to automatically open iTunes once I plug in my iPad ?
MacBookPro IOS M-Lion
Whenever I want to sync my ipad- once I connect both units I have to manually open itunes to continue ???
Any set up suggestions ?
Thanks

You might want to check this as well... Although I'm not familiar with Mountain Lion since I am still running Lion, but I think it is pretty much the same in ML....
Open System Preferences and click on Users and Groups. Click on your your account and then click on Log In Items and make sure that iTunes Helper is checked.

I am trying to stop programs from opening automatically when I turn my computer on. I tried system preferences users and groups login items...then I deleted them from the list but it did nothing.

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?
Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
Have you tried running Repair Permissions?
Do you have at least 15% free space available on your HD?

When viewing documents on a Web Server, IE automatically opens a blank page and then opens the document in the default program. The blank screen should close automatically but isn't happening.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines.

I have a new Mac Mini. When I start it, the message and mail program's open automatically. How do I change this?

When I boot up my Mac Mini, the mail and message program's open automatically. How do I stop this?
I heard that all program's that are open when shutting down, will open again on booting up. I always close all program's before shutting down!

Go to preferences and General and be sure the box is checked that states to close all programs on exit. Also, right clcik your mail icon in the dock and under options be sure the open at login is not checked.

When i click on links in other programs, where the link should automaticly open in firefox, nothing happens. Firefox is my primary.

Example:
software for games, where developers post headlines for news. Those are actualy hyperlinks, and should automaticly open in firefox, when customer clicks on the headline. When i click on a headline, nothing happens. They just stopped working a while ago, which is pretty frustrating. Firefox is my primary web browser.
Please help, becouse I've searched and never found a solution for this issue.
Looking forward to your answer, thank you for reading this!

This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
(Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.

I am using windows 7 pro this issue has drove me crazy for some time, now finally it's fixed by doing the exact same steps as above, hope this works for everybody that is having this problem. I just had to share this with my fellow firefox users. :)
