_____'s Computer window open every time I turn my computer on...

Not sure this is the best forum for this question, but here goes...
Every time I turn my MacBook on, the "(name)'s Computer" window is already open and shows the network icon and the macintosh HD icon. Then, after I close my browser, there are sometimes several of these windows open all over my screen. I haven't been able to track a pattern of which web sites cause a new window to open, but this is just confusing. Any idea if it's a bug or a particular setting of my computer? I know others with this computer who don't have the same issue.

Hi,
Have you done things like fix the disk permissions (you can use Disk Utility) or used a program like OnyX to run the maintenance scripts? OnyX is freeware from Titanium Software. Here is a link

If you have tried all these, then you may need to try deleting Finder preferences com.apple.finder.plist or even just moving it to the desktop.
Hope this helps
Karn.

Why does iTunes delete my library every time I turn my computer on? All my music is still on my computer but when I open iTunes it comes up with the scan media page. I have to redo my playlists and it takes forever. Can someone help??

Every time I turn my computer on and open iTunes all my music is gone, if comes up with the scan media page, all my playlists have been deleted. All my music is still on the computer and in the files. I don't know why it keeps doing this, it's really annoying as I have loads of music and then have to do my playlists again just to sync my phone. Can someone please help??

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

Two -annoying- windows open every time I load Photoshop.

Two -annoying- windows open every time I load Photoshop. One with the message "Could not load the Enable Async I/O module because it doesn't work properly with this version of Photohop" and the other "Could not load the FastCore Routines module because it doesn't work properly with this version of Photohop". Please help me fix this! Thanks

Hi,
What operating system and version of photoshop are you using?
Did you move/copy any plugins from an earlier version of photoshop into your present version?
Did you point the Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>Plug-ins>Additional Plugins Folder to an earlier version of photoshop?

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

My airport signal has a !... every time we turn on computer it kills the wireless signal... HELP!!!!

every time we turn on our macbook, on we see a ! in the airport icon up at the top of our computer... And every time we turn that computer on, it turns off the internet for out other mac... Can someone please help me? email me at [email protected]

First boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and then reboot again normally. The safe mode boot will take longer as it runs repair procedures during the boot.
If that fixes the problem I'd also update the system to the latest 10.9.4 via the OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update

HT1349 why would my itunes open every time i turn computer on

why would my itunes software open automaticaly evey time i turn my computer on

You could go into MSconfig, and see if its set to start with the machine.
Normally by default iTunes will open when you plug in your device...there is an option to have it not open when a device is connected..but there is not an option to have it start with the computer that I am aware of.

I am having (2) problems, 1. When I open Firefox, why do 6 to 8 multiple windows open? 2. I tried to update Flash, and now that window opens every time I launch Firefox with a drop menu asking me to install.

Problem 1: I launch Firefox and 6 to 8 windows open.
Problem 2: Every since I tried to update Flash this happens. I have done this 12 times, but it still keeps trying to open.

I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

New window opening every time a folder is opened.

Every time I open a new folder, instead of showing the content of that new folder within the same window, another one is opened.
I even went to the preferences and the option "Always open folders in new windows" was not selected.
Relaunching finder didn't help either, and so did restarting my laptop.
Also, the bar that reguarly appears at the bottom of the finder window containing information about disk space and number of files is at the top of the finder window.

New window opens every time i click a link

Every time I click on a link from a webpage, it opens up a brand new window rather than navigate in the existing window.

Does this affect all sites? If it only affects some sites, could you give examples?
Note: for Google, you can turn this on and off in the search settings. Click the "gear" (Options) icon, then Search settings, then uncheck the box for "Open each selected result in a new browser window".

No, not thru web access; it is via the Outlook provided thru Microsoft Office.
