Lion: how to keep apps from reopening after I restart

How can I keep previously opened apps from reopening every time I restart.  I close the apps before I shut down, and then they reopen after I restart.

The following works for me.
One time only.
Quit all apps before shutdown.
Click shutdown.
Uncheck the reopen box and click shutdown.
From then on.
Quit all apps.
Hold the option button while clicking shutdown.

  • ? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

    I think we need a sticky for this.
    Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

    Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
    1.Quit iTunes.
    2.Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

  • How to remove apps from iTunes after they have been removed from iPod Touch

    If I remove an app from my iPod Touch, they still exist in iTunes. After a while, they can add up and take up lots of space on my computer. What's the easiest way to remove ALL apps that no longer exist on my iPod Touch but are still in iTunes? I currently just manually go through the list to delete them from iTunes, which seems to work, but is there a better, more efficient way?

    Anna,
    Your suggestion of using the Control key does not work on a Mac.
    On a Mac, one can:
    1. Use your Command-(Apple) key to select items that are not in consecutive order. It's appropriately called a "non-consecutive select".
    2. Use your Shift key to select consecutive items.
    3. Or use your mouse to perform what's called a "lasso" select. Click your mouse/clicker down while dragging over the items you'd like to select, and then drag them to the trash.

  • In Mountain Lion how to keep Dashboard from opening each time awakening from sleep?

    Every time awakening from sleep and/or screen saver, the dashboard screen comes up as the opening display, how can I stop this?

    Nope.
    If you launch Mail, you get mail.
    You can only stop if from loading if your DON'T launch Mail.
    You can also decide how much to have it load, and how far back.
    The other option is to turn off Wifi before you launch Mail.

  • Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup?

    I like to shut my computer down without closing each app but I don't want to have them all reopen on start up.
    Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup without having to close them all before shutting down?
    I found the checkbox to prevent apps from opening in their previous state but they still open to their previous state after a restart.
    Thank you in advance,

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

  • How to delete app from iPad mini

    how to delete app from iPad mini

    Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help
