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

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.

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?

TS3899 a friend sent me an email from her suddenlink email address and now all of her email is coming to my IPhone and MAC. Help, how can i stop these unwanted emails from her bank, doctors, catalogs, etc.?

After the last IOS upgrade, a freind sent me an email from her Suddenlink account. Now I get a duplicate of everuy email she receives. This is driving me crazy plus it is an invasion of her privacy for me to be receiving all her facebook responses, banking info, medical info, catalogs, etc. I don't want the onslaught of all this email. What do I need to do to correct this? When I receive the emails, they have her address, not mine. If I send her a new email at her Suddenlink address, it comes to me and to her. Please help, this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that the solution is in the settings of her email

I want to put my wifi password in for internet but mac automatically connects, how can i stop this?

So I connect to my wifi automatically, but recently I simply want it to ask for a wifi password instead of automatically connecting because other people use this MacBook also...

Doesn't each user have a login with a different password.. the login on the Macbook itself is much more important than the wireless login.
You should be able to set the Airport or wifi to not remember the password.
Untick remember the network.. clean them all out of the airport settings and start over..

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.
Also see:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

Just as an FYI, upsate to 14.3.7... now to your problem:
In Word, I'm assuming that you're highlighting the text that you want to link to and using command-K to insert the hyperlink:
The hyperlink dialog box should look like this:
Is that what you're seeing?

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.

How can I stop Firefox from 'talking' every time I click a new item on my laptop screen?

Without my doing anything, all of a sudden my Firefox started talking every time I click something on my laptop screen. Example: I clicked the link that took me to this page. Firefox said "new window... Firefox menu ... Ask a New Question ..." I don't need this, it interferes with all that I do that requires my speaker turned on. How can I stop this?

You can also manage all permissions on the about:permissions page via the location bar.<br />
Use "All Sites" to set the defaults.
You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.<br />
Firefox uses the about: protocol to access internal Firefox (setting) pages.

Since moving to a new MAC Firefox asks permsion to use various font whilst loading - how can I stop this?

I moved over to a new Apple Mac using a time machine back up. Since then when ever I use Firefox it stops and asks if it's ok to use a font located on an external hardrive. How can I stop this?

I tried reloading FF but had the same problem but maybe I need to completely eradicate any trace of FF first - is there a way of doing this.
I've already moved back to Safari but there are a couple of sites I have to use that don't work properly so I have to revert to FF

This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.
