Login itmes keep coming back

Firefox and Thunderbird apps keep appearing in the "login items" on my mac. So that they start up when the computer starts. I keep removing (deleting) them but they won't stay gone. I'm highlighting them with a check in the check box and then hitting the minus button below.

Have you tried it without the checkbox marked? Just Highlight and then the minus button?
This file might be damaged & need moving to the Desktop then reboot...

  • Login page keeps coming back shortly after accepting the password.

    Not able to pass the password log in page.
    We put the correct password. We see the logging in blue bar for a second. then page disapears we see the usual blue screen but then the log in page comes back. We repeated this numbers of times but no good.
    seems like macbook air accepts the password but can not go any further. takes us back.

  • Login just keep coming back.

    My computer stop working right so I reinstalled leopard OS, ran utilities and tried to run disk warrior.
    Now I get the login box and put in the right password and the screen goes away and then blinks and comes back to the login page. I put in wrong passwords and it just shakes so I know I have the right one but that just comes back to the login.
    Please help!

    From the link that CMCSK gave above, although I don't know if you have, "a password of 8 or more characters", or if that matters now, I think you will find your solution here. Good luck.

    Edit: Maybe your inability to login is preventing DW from rebuilding your disk, I'm not sure. But in general, if you have DW4 and you boot from it, it will rebuild a drive that has 10.5+whatever. But it won't, from the disc, verify and repair permissions.
    By the way, Disk Utility now can take an extremely long time to complete. On my Mac it has taken 30 minutes+

  • I deleted the Free song of the week, but it keeps coming back!

    I downloaded a free song, decided I didn't want it and deleted. But with iCloud, it keeps coming back. It messes with my smart playlists to have this song keep popping up. Any way to fix without turning off auto downloads? Thanks

    You must have an iCloud account, and on the iPhone gone to Settings > iCloud and turned ON Find My Phone.  Then login to the iCloud account, click Find My Phone and IF the iPhone is turned on and connected to the internet it will show up.
    If any one of those steps is missing it will not show up.
    If you get a message that you have not registered it with iCloud, then you did not turn on Find My Phone on the iPhone.
    There is no other way of trackng the device.

  • I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
    "Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
    My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
    Help???
    Regards
    Brian

    If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click  Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address.  Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link.  Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

    Exactly how are you trying to restore form TM?
    Have you tried rebuilding your iPhoto library?
    And your comments indicate that you may not understand iPhoto at all - you should not be inside the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it - and iPhoto does not duplicate photos  - more details of yoru work flow would help sort this out

  • I have tow itunes libraries.  Music from one library has merged with the other and I can not delete the songs.  They keep coming back.

    I have two ipod touch libraries under my account.  One for my daughter and one for me.  I bought my daughter an Iphone and then opened her ipod touch libraryon the computer (Windows Vista).  I plugged in her iphone so that she can have the stuff from her ipod touch on her new phone.  Somehow her library has partially merged with my library.  My ipod touch now has some of HER games and music on it.  I went into my library and deleted these games and songs, but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of these once and for all.  I don't want to be shuffling AC/DC, Rob Zombie, and then get Justin Bieber all of a sudden while sitting at a red light in traffic.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How do I get rid of the 'buump.me' home page? It just keeps coming back.

    I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 OS and my firefox web browser is compromised with this 'buump.me' home page which I can't get rid of. I've been into the cache, deleted all my cookies, manually changed the home page and the backup home page in the preferences folder. Still keeps coming back. Where is this nasty bit of code lurking in my machine and how can I get rid of it?
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks ideato
    I tried this and lost all my bookmarks and stuff! But found them in a backup file.
    I've solved the problem by creating a new firefox profile and importing my settings and bookmarks from the old one (carefully, so as not to import the virus as well)
    Now the old profile has the virus and the new profile is just fine.
    I could just delete the old profile... but I'd love to find out exactly where this buump.me bug is lurking, so maybe I'll keep the old profile for a while and see if I can find half a day or night free for detective work.

  • I added a persona, I've disabled and removed that persona, it keeps coming back. Going into tools does not help, adding a new persona does not help. I'm ready to give up on firefox!

    I added a persona, wanted a new one so disabled and removed the old one. I added a new persona, but the old one keeps coming back. Going into tools/add ons does no good because it is not even listed anymore but keeps coming back. I've shut down/restarted, I've searched for answers to this problem.

    The data that specifies which persona to display is stored as a pref in the prefs.js file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Did you try to rename or move the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file to see if that helps?
    Are you using the Personas Plus extension, because in that case you need to check the settings in that extension.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • I have an older I-Pad and have daily recurring spam.  Always the same and some going back to January. I delete them every day and they delete them in the trash folder but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of them ?

    I have an older I-pad and have recurring spam. How do I stop it ???  I delete it every day and then delete the trash folder but it keeps coming back.  Thanks.

    For those kind of mails, unsubscribing doesn't work. they're breaking the law trying to scam you, they're not going to respect unsubscribe. Unsubscribe only works with real companies. Such as unsubscribing from Gap company mail etc. Spammers can actually use the 'unsubscribe' as a confirmation 'hey, there's a real person here, hit em hard'
    I'm not really familiar with g-mail, but most mail programs have filters you can set up, such as telling it 'everything with dating in the title, send to the trash' etc.
    You can do some research on that or have someone help you with some hands on help.
    If that e-mail has ever been used for e-greeting cards, or given to enter contests, etc, your address is out there. You will never get rid of it totally.
    If it's really, really bad, sometimes what you have to do is abandon the address and get a new one and only give it out to people you want to contact you. Don't  enter it on websites, or use e-cards or things like that that are spam collection mechanisms.

  • Java applet warning keeps coming back for signed applet

    I have an applet signed with certificate issued by a public CA cert verisign. This applet prints document to the printer. When it loads everything looks good and checks on the screen and the user is prompted to allow access to the printer. Even, though the user selects "Allways allow this applet to print" the warning keeps coming back everytime the applet attempts to access the printer.
    I notice other applets work correctly. I veriy the signed jar and it all looks correct every class file comes with smk marking.
    What is going, can someone please help???
    Manuel

    I appreciate the help. but i was able to resolve the problem. Our web page called the applet print method directly from scripting. Apparently that causes the java plugin to warn the user every time.
    To avoid this issue the new print method queues up a print job and a separate thread watches for the queue and picks up the job and prints it. In order to support the same original function, the new print method is syncronized and waits for the job to be queued before it returns.
    Now, there are no warnings even the first time you use the applet.
