Network clock always open after restart

Whenever I use System Preferences to check "Network" after a restart, the clock is always open even though I locked it, on a previous computer use. WHY? It only happens after a total Mac shutdown.
Is there a specific program to be run that describes the condition of your Mac? I frequently use "Disk Utility," "DiskWarrior 4.1," or "TechTool Pro 4.6.2" What program covers all basic components?

Could you explain with a little more detail please?
Using the "System Preference" option, under "Internet & Network," I open the "Network" option. On the bottom left of "Network" there is an open lock. If I click on it for locking, it stays locked but requires me to enter my system password to access "Network" again. Then it is unlocked.
However, if I shut down my computer with "Network" locked, then restart it, and recheck "Network" again (without the necessity of entering my system password,) the "Network" lock is now opened." So I'm presuming the "lock" only stays closed while the computer is being used. So what is the point of the lock? I suppose there is a simple answer that proves I'm incredibly ignorant!
Thanks for your response.

Reread my original reply-the instructions in there should fix it for you.

Reduce Transparency always on after restart

hi all,
before upgrade to 10.10.2 all is working good for me, but after upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.2 my Reduce Transparency option in accessibility control is always turned on by it self after restart my mac mini
well, it's not a big issue but annoying me enough to turn off the Reduce Transparency option every time start my mac mini
anyone have same experience like i have?

Do a backup.
Quit the application System Preferences.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this

Window size always changes after restart in 10.9.2. How can I fix it- as in older OS-Versions?

Hi,
I'm using OSX for a long time. Now I bought a new MBA 10' with Mavericks 10.9.2. I'm really tired about ever changing window sizes after restarting my MBA, espacialy the sidebar is skipping to a wider size, then the window, I used before turning the mac of. No window opens, in exact that size I used before. Of course, I used to fix it, but never menaged to do so.
Have you any idea to solve my problem?

Do you uncheck the "Reopen windows when logging back in?" box? If so, does the issue occur when you leave the box checked?
That might be the culprit.
I hope I solved your question.

Preferences window always opens after boot.

After working on my new iMac for a couple of days, I now notice that every time I switch on the Mac, when it presents the desktop, it always opens the preferences window.
This doesn't happen after the Mac is simply woken from sleep.
It's not a big deal, but maybe it's an indication that something needs my attention.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob, you'll love your Mac even more the better you get to know it. And if you have any issues just post them. There are lot's of knowledgeable people in these forums who can help you.
Have fun!

After you have the problem with PB, open the Console app and look for log entries associated with PB at the the time you tried and post the results here.

Certain applications will not open after restart or waking up from sleep

My Macbook Pro running 10.9.2 won't open certain applications after restarting and sometimes after waking up from sleep. Google Chrome, Logic Pro X, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere seem to be the only progams affected. Firefox and Safari both work fine as well as many other applications. It seems to only affect programs that connect to the internet.
After a period of time the issue will resolve itself; sometimes after a few minutes and other times after several days. Then, these applications suddenly begin working again. I have also been having issues with my computer's ability to wake up. My best guess is that my computer isn't "fully waking up" upon restarts or when coming out of sleep mode. Both of these issues began around the same time and could be related. I've had both problems for several months through multiple software updates.
As far as troubleshooting goes I have done the following:
Safe Boot - (all programs work but are not effective due to lack of drivers being utilized in safe mode)
RAM/PRAM reset.
Disk Utility/Repair Permissions/Verify Disk
Any help or advice would be VERY appareciated.

Robin,
It sounds like your MacBook is logging out when the computer goes to sleep if you are getting the login window, which will of course close all your programs.
In System Preferences >Security, uncheck "Log out after.....minutes of activity".
See if this stops it from doing that.

[SOLVED] GNU Screen - sessions always dead after restart

I recently started using GNU screen. I'm able to detach and reattach sessions normally, except after a restart. Then any detached sessions are marked as dead and all I can do is run a screen -wipe. My sessions are stored in ~/.screen.
I've searched the web and forums but no one seems to have had this problem.
Any ideas? Screen's a lot less useful if I can't reattach after restarting.

This is sort of related, but sometimes it is possible to use special software to suspend an application as a file, which could possibly be set up with screen to provide a rebootable state. However this software seems to be fairly hard to find and get working well enough to be usable. If you want to investigate more, you can probably google for something like "linux application freezing" or "linux application checkpointing".
Actually I just found the software I was thinking of as I'm typing this, http://cryopid.berlios.de/. The page doesn't seem to be loading for me, but I think I have used this in the past with limited success. Not sure if it up to date with the latest kernels however.

Firefox won't open after restart

After I updated Firefox, it will work until I restart my computer. Then it simply won't open at all and will eventually come up with a blank window that doesn't respond. I've had this issue for months and have simply switched to Google Chrome because I didn't have the time to deal with it anymore. I'm not a novice user and I've tried everything:
It won't start in safe mode.
I've done a complete clean install, even deleting the profile information.
I've checked my firewall and my antivirus programs, and they're not the culprit.
I've fully scanned my computer for viruses/malware.
My computer is completely up to date.
I don't really know what else to do. It will only work on a fresh install before I restart my computer. There are no crash reports I can give because it's not crashing..It simply won't open. I'm running Windows 7 on a Thinkpad Edge.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Padlock in security settings is always unlocked after restarting

Hi
I don't know if this is a regular situation, but after I turn on my macbook or restart it, the padlock in the security settings is unlocked. When I see that I always lock the padlock and the only way to unlock it is writing off my password. But, why is unlocked after I restart or turn on my macbook?

this is normal. if you don't like it go to the very same security system preferences->security and check the box "require password to unlock each preference pane".

RH won't open after restart

I have a pretty standard settup on my machine: Windows XP, RoboHelp 7, and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard.
RoboHelp 5 worked fine, I upgraded to RoboHelp 7 and it works fine until I logout my machine. After a logout, I cannot open any RH projects or RH itself. It's like RH tries to open (there is a little flash of the hourglass for a split second), but then nothing. No startup display or error is shown. If I reinstall it works fine until I logout or shutdown.
All my projects are RH HTML. Installing RH software updates doesn't seem to work.

Think carefully about what you have on this standalone machine. Could anything else be causing a conflict?
Either you need to contact TechSupport or try one last ditch solution if you are reasonably PC savvy.
Download and install http://www.revouninstaller.com
Deactivate and uninstall RH7 using that with the advanced settings. Make sure you only choose to delete the registry options shown bold.
Reboot
Now reinstall X5. You will not be able to open it but that does not matter.
Reboot.
Uninstall that with revouninstaller. I am hoping it will remove something that RH left behind last time.
Reboot.
Reinstall RH7 and see if that now works.
This is at your own risk. If in doubt, get the assistance of someone with more PC knowledge. (Not meant rudely. I simply do not know your level of skill)

Settings always reset after restart! Help please????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Basically I bought an iMac last October, 21", 4GB standard manufactured settings ram etc. After a few weeks every time I quit an application and go back on it, it returns to its old settings. Whenever I remove a bookmark from the toolbar on Safari and restart it, it returns to the old settings, when ever I restart the computer the dock and background changes towards its original settings. This is starting to get really annoying, and I don't know what to do and I have installed all available updates. Is an issue like this covered in a warranty and do you guys have any ideas on what I should do?

Hi...
Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that didn't help, since your Mac was purchasd last October, it must be running Lion v10.7 and it's still under the one year warranty.
Try using Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall the Mac OS X.
If nothing above helped, take your Mac to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider.
You can make a reservation at a Genius Bar in advance.

My home page is set to google & is always open, after i open new tabs to other web pages & then go back to the original home page tab it is frozen or if not frozen you try to do a search & it displays nothing (blank page white background)

If the above problem occurs I can open a new home(ie google) in a new tab & it works every time.
When original home page isnt frozen & will let you do a google search but displays blank you cannot return to the original page (ie using back button or home button).
When the page is frozen you can do nothing with it.

# Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
#Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

Itunes wont open after restarting while updating

I canceled the update and while it was canceling, I restarted computer. I tried to redownload it but the update is on hold. No clue how to resume or fix problem. Help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

[SOLVED] Firefox won't open after restart..Until I updated everything

When I start my computer or reboot Firefox won't open unless I keep clicking the icon. I have it pinned to the task bar and it's set as default. when I click the icon it glows orange but then fades back to clear. sometimes as many as 15 - 20 times before it starts. I clean the temporary files every day with CCleaner. I'm not that computer smart but I haven't changed any settings and it was working perfectly until a few days ago. Once it opens I have o problems opening it and closing it
UPDATE:
I disabled the Facebook video call plug in updated all my Firefox stuff and it opened first try

Thank you Alice It took me two years to get Firefox looking exactly how I wanted it. I'm not very good with computers. I thought I would have to start over. The strange thing is there was no indication of a problem. It just wouldn't open. Skype kept crashing my computer so I followed their instructions on removing everything in the registry. I remembered something about Facebook video chat being through Skype so it just made sense to disable it. I didn't even know I had it until I updated the rest of the stuff. I don't know if that was it but Firefox is working and that's what matters.
