Lion always opens programs by starting even when I uncheck it

Even in the System Preferences / General I uncheck the restore function. After a reboot the unchecked field becomes checked again.
I close mannualy all my open programs before rebooting the Mac but anyway al previous closed programs are starting again.
Who knows what to do?

So, I fixed it...but I'm not quite sure how. I compared, line by line, my about:config with the one on my houses main computer...only did about two screen's worth, but I changed some values to match the other computer and the problems gone!

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.

Cannot go to iTunes store using my iPhone 6 plus. I click on App Store and it opens up iTunes U. Even when I open iPhones video app and try to purchase a movie which is suppose to take me to iTunes store, it instead opens up iTunes U.

There isn't currently any music, films or TV programmes available in the South Korean store, so you will only see iTunes U in the iTunes store app. You can't use the US store unless you are in the US, you have to be in a country to use its store (that is in the Store's terms) - so whilst you are in South Korea you can only use the South Korean store.
Are there other music purchase download sites in South Korea that you could use ? You can also copy your CDs via your computer's iTunes

On a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.

Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

My program always displays the same image, even when I change th image file

I'm making a program that chooses an image file from a dialog, resize it and copy it into a folder. When the image is needed to be displayed, the image file is read and a JLabel displays it on screen.
When I upload the first image, everything works fine. The problem appears when I upload another picture: the displayed image is still the first image, even when the old file doesn't exist anymore (because it has been overwritten). It looks like the image has been "cached", and no more image are loaded after the first one.
This function takes the image picture chosen by the user, resizes it, and copy it into the pictures folder:
    private void changeProfilePicture() {
        JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
        jFileChooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
        jFileChooser.setFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
        int result = jFileChooser.showOpenDialog(sdbFrame);
        if (JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == result) {
            try {
                //upload picture
                File file = jFileChooser.getSelectedFile();
                InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
                //resize image and save
                BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(is);
                BufferedImage resizedImage = resizeImage(image, 96, 96);
                String newFileName = sdbDisplayPanel.getId() + ".png";
                String picFolderLocation = db.getDatabaseLocation() + "/" +
                        PROFILE_PICTURE_FOLDER;
                java.io.File dbPicFolder = new File(picFolderLocation);
                if(!dbPicFolder.exists()) {
                    dbPicFolder.mkdir();
                String newFilePath = picFolderLocation + "/" + newFileName;
                File newFile = new File(newFilePath);
                FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (newFilePath);
                DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (fos);
                ImageIO.write(resizedImage, "png", dos);
                dos.close();
                fos.close();
                //set picture
                sdbDisplayPanel.setImagePath(newFilePath);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                System.err.println("Could'nt print picture");
            }This other class actually displays the image file in a JLabel:
    public void setImagePath(String imagePath) {
        count++;
        speaker.setImagePath(imagePath);
        this.imagePath = imagePath;
        if(imagePath != null)   {
            //use uploaded picture
            try {
                File tempFile = new File(imagePath);
                System.out.println(tempFile.length());
                java.net.URL imgURL = tempFile.toURI().toURL();
                ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL);
                pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
                // Read from a file
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(SDBEventClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        else    {
            //use default picture
            URL imgURL = this.getClass().getResource("/edu/usal/dia/adilo/images/noProfile.jpg");
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, "Profile picture");
            pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
    }

When you flush() the image, you don't need to construct a new ImageIcon each time, a simple repaint() will suffice.
Run this example after changing the URL to an image you can edit and update while the program is running.import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FlushImage {
   Image image;
   JLabel label;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new FlushImage().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      try {
         ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:///e:/java/dot.png"));
         image = icon.getImage();
         label = new JLabel(icon);
         JButton button = new JButton("Click");
         button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               image.flush();
               label.repaint();
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         frame.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
         frame.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         frame.setVisible(true);
      } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();

Tabs opening as new windows even when I click open in a new tab

All of a sudden links that normally opened as new tabs are now opening as new windows. Even when I specifically say open as a new tab it still opens as a new window. I have checked the settings in the tab option so it should be opening them as new tabs. it is highly frustrating!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My superdrive after Mountain Lion always opens a burned cd as a blank cd.

after installed mountain lion, my superdrive (MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868), doesnt recognise some burned cd like it did it before... always open the blank cd dialog.
Macbookpro 2,66 late 2009
MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868:
Firmware Revision:          KB19
Interconnect:          ATAPI
Burn Support:          Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache:          2048 KB
Reads DVD:          Yes
CD-Write:          -R, -RW
DVD-Write:          -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies:          CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media:          To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose File > Refresh Information

PROBLEM SOLVED - I HOPE !!
Rather than visit a Genius Bar, I opted to buy an inexpensive (<$40) external USB-connected CD/DVD reader/burner (Samsung SE-208AB). I discovered that it too exhibited the same problem whereby DVDs and CDs burned in the Finder failed verification almost as soon as it began. Even though the burned discs appeared OK in that the files/music/movies were as they should be.
In addition to all the steps taken above, I also used the Recovery Disk to re-install a copy of Mountain Lion in case something was messed up. To no avail, the problem persisted.
After much more searching I discovered a tip that I had not tried. Someone had found that deleting the Finder preference file resolved their problem, in 2008 no less. So with nothing to loose, I deleted the Finder preference file, restarted and burned 3 discs flawlessly. Attached below is a screen shot from the Console app (in the Utilities folder) showing the most recent disc burning tasks including the intial one that failed verification. The highlighted text is my inserted note and not from the Console app. Interstingly it apperas as if iTunes does not perform a disc verify after a burn as the verify task is absent from the Console log.
The Finder preference files can be found at User/Library/Preferences/...
Of note is that none of these discs will work in the internal Superdrive and so I must assume that the internal Superdrive is offcially busted and must have failed coincidentally with my upgrading to Mountain Lion.

Computer always showing in Shared pane even when Off???

My Macbook finder is always showing my other Home computer in the Shared pane even if the Home computer is Off???? However, my home computer is showing my Macbook only when the Macbook is ON .
Both running 10.5.1 (all current updates).
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks

My iMac does the same thing. It show my Macbook in the Finder when its off. If I do a reboot it will not show and the iMac but soon as I turn it on it appears as normal just as it should same goes for the macbook. Now if I take my iMac of the network it will disappear on my macbook. The iMac wants to keeps show my macbook even when off. Any suggestions?

"Open new windows in a new tab istead" ALWAYS checks itself back on even when I don't want it to...

I do not wish to have tabbed browsing, period! I want ALL links to open in a new window, ALWAYS! Every time I restart Firefox, the box checks itself back on. This has been going on for the past several YEARS. Beyond frustrating. Chrome is looking better and better...

Thank you very much for your effort but this did not work. I restarted in safe mode, disabled all extensions and plug-ins, reverted to default theme, unchecked the box, and restarted - the box was checked again and I am done trying. I suppose I could uninstall and delete preferences but I am not willing to do this when there are other alternatives to this browser. Long time Firefox user gone! If this ever gets fixed (I doubt it will because it's been happening for years), I'll be back. Thanks again!

How do I get a program to start up when I turn my computer on?

You know how in the dock, there's a little triangle under a program that's technically running even if you don't have a window open? Dashboard and Finder always have that triangle after start up. How do I get another program, like Safari to "start up" with that triangel all the time even if I don't want to have the browser window open when I turn my computer on?

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, add it to the list of login items for your account, and check the box to hide it. Some applications, such as Mail, ignore the box in Mac OS X 10.4 and are always visible when launched; in this case, an AppleScript can be used to hide them.

How do i keep lion from opening programs on startup?

I want my computer to start clean and fresh. How do I tell Lion to close everything on shut down or more importantly not open on startup?

Check through these articles; there are several ways to deal with this new feature Resume:

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20083707-263/managing-mac-os-x-lions-applic ation-resume-feature/?tag=mncol;title
Also, there is a keyboard shortcut when shutting down - there will be no dialog window or any other warning; shutdown is instantaneous (this will eliminate having to uncheck the box in the dialog window):

Thunderbird crashes within seconds after starting, even when I completely reinstall it. Caused by Facebook Photo Uploader" (fbplugin)

The basics: Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite, 10 GB RAM. Thunderbird version 31.3.0 (though the same thing happens when I try earlier and later versions).
Symptom: Thunderbird crashes within a few seconds of starting it up. I have enough time click on a menu or two, perhaps glance at a message, then it crashes.
Attempted solutions:
- Starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode.
- Starting the Mac in Safe Mode.
- Deleting ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.thunderbird.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/Thunderbird, deleting the Thunderbird application, emptying the trash, and reinstalling Thunderbird from mozilla.org.
- Using Yosemite Cache Cleaner to scan the hard drive for viruses, and to deep-clean all System and User caches.
- Booting from the Recovery partition, repairing disk permission, and repairing the filesystem.
The only time Thunderbird has semi-stable is just after I've deleted all preferences, started it up, and I do the initial set-up for my e-mail account. Everything appears normal, and my list of IMAP folders appears. But shortly after that Thunderbird crashes again, and keeps crashing at every subsequent restart.
This is a problem that developed last Wednesday, Dec 24; prior to that the program ran just fine. No other program on my computer at work is showing these symptoms. Thunderbird works on my Macintosh at home (same software versions) and on my Linux computer at work.
I'm at a loss of what to try next. Any ideas?

Or you can try Earlybird from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/ which should have the patch from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1086977
