Photoshop launches automatically at startup

Suddenly Photoshop launches automatically at startup. Probably a consequence of running the vacuum cleaner brush over the keyboard live! How can I control this option? I have found nothing related in the startup items folder.
Thanks!
Paul

Nothing in System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items to do with Photoshop? That's normally the only way things start automatically.

How do I get an app to launch automatically on startup?

I downloaded an app (*.wcz) file that links to a clock on the desktop background.
Clicking the app displays the background from http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaperclocks/ and the clock and date work.
When I shut down and start up again, the screen reverts to the previously selected background.
Is there any way to launch this wallpaper + clock automatically on startup?

Hi, if the App is in the Dock, right click, choose Options>Open at login.
Or System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window, drag the App there or click on the tiny plus icon to add it.

Microsoft Word launches automatically at startup

This is an unusual situation. Most people can't get MS Word to launch or it crashes.
I have the opposite. When I log into my MacBook Pro, Microsoft Word for Office 2004 launches automatically. This has just started about a month ago and I've had Office 2004 since 2005.
1. There is no file in "Startup" that would start MS Word
2. I've deleted the MS Word preferences file several times to combat and that hasn't worked
3. I've removed all temp files from the Microsoft folder on my username/home --> Documents --> Microsoft folder
And, I get the following in Console when I log in (an example from July 18th):

Applications launch automatically at startup

Microsoft Word recently started launching itself on startup, which isn't a problem particularly, just a bit annoying. I don't think it's a Microsoft thing because Mail went through a period of doing the same a few weeks back. I've checked the Startup Items folder, and there's nothing in it - does anyone have any suggestions for what else could be causing this to happen?

Photoshop 7 automatically launches

I recently installed a wireless Verizon modem. Since then, Photoshop 7 automatically launches when I connect to the internet I cannot find anything in Edit to stop it from launching. How can I disable this?

Ed - I have a scanner as well, though the problem is not intermittent.
John - Sorry for not being more specific. I use VZ Access Manager, to connect. I am not using IE or on a website, only connected via my wireless modem to Verizon. It is at this point that PS launches. I have XP professional, and have installed service paks. My scanner is HP 64010. I am not sure what other information you would need, however I very much appreciate everyone's help.

Photoshop Elements opening on startup, despite having shut it down prior to closure.

I am running Elements 13 on a MacBook Air O SX Yosemite version 10.10.
After installation I encountered the following issues.
1)       Elements 13 Organiser application opened ok and transferred my photos from iPhoto.
2)       Elements 13 Application opened o.k
3)       Elements 13 Editor opened o.k
But latterly, when opening Elements 13 application after 1 second, the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
I have attempted to check the Installed files, to check if they are in the right location, cannot see any apparent issues.
Additionally on Start-UP Elements 13 starts automatically despite having quit the programme prior to closure.
Maybe if I completely re-installed Elements 13 the problems might go away.
Your earliest response would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards     David A Hullin

Barbara Hi!
Thanks for your quick response.
Sorry for the confusion regarding 2 Copies of Elements 13 Organiser.
What I intended to say is as follows:
On my Dock, after installing Elements 13, there are three adjacent Buttons for the Elements 13 Application from left to right:-
1 Elements 13 Organiser
2 Elements 13
3 Elements 13 Editor
MY ISSUES ARE:
1 Elements Organiser opens o.k.
HOWEVER:
2 Elements 13      (To import work from the Elements Organiser), the following happens:
This section of the application opens only briefly, (1.5 seconds, headed appropriately Elements 1 (But immediately reverts to a repeat copy of the Elements Organiser screen) which is activated by Button 1
Button 3 Elements 13 Editor (opens) O.K.
P.S   Initially the application was working O.K
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David A Hullin

the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
What do you mean by this? There is only one copy of Elements 13 organizer installed on any mac.
I would start by deleting the preferences and the saved application states for PSE:

ITunes No Longer Launches Automatically When My iPhone Plugs In

So as the subject line says, my iPhone no longer starts iTunes when it is automatically plugged in. It just stopped doing this after I talked to AppleCare to get my MobileMe working (my computer is old so it uses .Mac but it wouldn't load successfully so AppleCare changed some preferences around). Anyway, now when I plug my iPhone in, iPhoto launches but in order to get my phone to perform a backup, I have to manually open iTunes when before both iTunes and iPhoto launched automatically.
Anybody know how I can get it back to launching automatically when I plug my phone in to the computer?

Like the poster "Sig", I have this problem as well.
I checked the Login Items in the preferences and the radio button was checked. So, that's not the case. Nor was I using any iPhone utility either.
Now, I tried all alternate USB ports on my Mac Pro and I also tried plugging into my iMac 20' 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo. My iPhone is not recognized on either. I think it's something specific to iPhone v3.01 and 3.1 software. Because, I've not upgraded my iMac's iTunes yet. So, I think we can either rule out it being iTunes' fault. That or this iTunesHelper needs is broken... if that is the case.
So, do we have some better solutions to this problem?
PS: Oh, and yes, I did update iTunes to v9.0.1 on my Mac Pro. Still no response.

Photoshop launches help file when trying to access effects panel.

I have Photoshop CS6 and sometimes when I double click a layer to bring up the effects panel Photoshop launches the Help library instead with an error message saying I need to re install photoshop to access help???? Yet I was only trying to access the effects panel. The help pages are fine and I can flick through them no problem but when going back into Photoshop I can't click on anything after that and usually have to bring up task manager to end Photoshop. Any suggestions?
Secondly on some occasions when using a tool and it could be a brush or pen etc the section I'm working on completely disappears in a perfect square leaving the rest of my picture intact.
I'm not using large files either when this happens. I noticed the problem occurred after the last CS6 update.
Do I need to increase ram photoshop uses? I haven't changed any settings but photoshop

If I uninstall and re install can I just uninstall Photoshop or do I have to uninstall the whole suite?
Gosh - any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Rosa

Adobe has been looking unsuccessfully for this problem literally for decades.
It appears sometimes to be related to the Layer Styles panel. I've personally seen it happen with every version of Photoshop I can remember using, though VERY infrequently. It's happened to me just twice or three times with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0, and not yet with 13.0.1.
There's no known workaround other than to fool with stuff until it just goes away. It may be that changing some of the configuration options or even returning Photoshop's preferences to out-of-box defaults can help. I've even seen cases where updating one's display driver works around it. Do you have ATI Catalyst 12.8?
If you have a sequence of activities you do in which it is reproducible on demand, then I'm sure Adobe would REALLY like to talk to you and get that information.

How can I stop iPhoto from launching automatically

Whenever I start up my Mac, iPhoto launches automatically. How can I prevent this to happen?

Depends - if you have any FAT formatted device attached to your Mac then you must either disconnect it or in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to do nothing
If you have told the system to launch iPhoto on start up then you need to now tell it not to (right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if that is checked)
There also is a place to set start up items in system preferences

However can i resolve these issues bearing in mind that i am not tech savvy?

Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
Select the box next to: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

ITunes 8.2 no longer launches automatically on iPhone connect ?

Is this something different with iTunes 8.2. iTunes always used to launch automatically after connecting iPhone. It will recognize phone but I have to launch iTunes manually and wait after I connect the phone.

Yes - there used to be a checkbox for this in iTunes preferences asking whether or not to automatically launch iTunes when connecting an ipod (maybe for phone to in pre 8.2 versions) but they took it out ??? Somebody figured out to keep iPhoto from launching you have to open a different program called Image Capture and go into the preferences and tell it not to launch any program when connecting a camera (which iphoto sees the phone as), but I don't know where they hid the itunes launch switch now ???

Photoshop CC crashes on startup - Win7 (64bit)

Photoshop CC crashes on startup. I've tried reinstalling, rebooting, logging out of the cloud and back in again with no luck. I often recieve a notification stating to complete my user registration. When I do so I get a message from the adobe site saying Photoshop CS5 benefits are no longer avaliable (not sure why).
Also on startup, adobe updater.exe crashes. I download it again and tried reinstalling. It still crashes (could the be causing the Ps CC problem?). Any help would be appreiciated.

Apparently my NVidia graphics drivers are causing adobe's Updater.exe to crash o...
I've tried contacting NVidia, followed there instructions and they've now told me to try to contact Adobe again (see below).
With the new drivers Photoshop will now stay open long enough for me to access a menu. The menu will also stay open indeffinetly but Ps CC will close immediatly afterwards. I was able to see that Photoshop was not using my Adobe ID. Not sure if this is any help.
