Same window opens in Finder every time I log in
Any idea how I can prevent the pl.lproj window from opening every time I log in? Thanks!
Sorry about that! Yes, I should have mentioned it.
Anyway, I created a new admin account and as you suspected the window did not open at login. The account I'm logging in with is a network account and the "opening window" does not follow the account to other Macs.
I trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file and at login it created a new one but the window still opened. Sigh...

Hundreds of empty Windows open non-stop every time I start Firefox
Every time I open Firefox, new empty windows open nonstop and I have to repeatedly close them as fast as I can. This occurs on three different computers (all Windows 7) and has been happening since I upgraded to Firefox 6.
Try backing up your profile and then making a new one. If the new profile cures the problem, you can restore your bookmarks and cookies from the old one.

I cancelled bookmarks, and it still opens a tab every time I log in. Please make it stop!!!
I canceled 'x marks' and it still pops up whenever I open firefox. I'm sick of it!!!
What is the value of the pref plugins.update.notifyUser on the <b>about:config</b> page?
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily. -
Opening "Preferences" folder will crash the Finder every time!
On my 24" iMac with OSX 10.6.5, opening User's "Preferences" folder will crash the Snow Leopard Finder every time! This will happen even if I try to open a saved "Preferences" folder on an external drive.
On the brand-new 27" iMac also with OSX 10.6.5, the same thing will happen, but less frequently.
Is there way around this annoying problem???
Thanks for the help!Problem solved thanks to a tip on the internet:
Fetch 4.0.3 preference files were causing the Snow Leopard Finder to crash constantly. Removing the files from both iMacs and the problem went away immediately.
Since I couldn't open the Snow Leopard folder containing the Fetch prefs files long enough to remove them, I used a MacBook, running Leopard to remove the files through the network. -
I have Mozilla Firefox installed, w/. my Home Page setup to be opened on It every time. I can open a new window on It too, but when I open a new tab, every time open this new tab w/. Untitled Page. I wanna It opening w/. my Home Page.
Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ -

Since the 20.0 download, every time Firefox opens with" Well, this is embarassing" (having trouble recoverings windows and tabs) then lists windows and tabs for each site I have been on. I choose one - hit restore - and then I can open my home page. I went to Support and tried Reset, retstarted and opened Firefox but the same window appeared again. This time Windows and Mozilla support were on the list. What can I do next? I have no idea how to fix this. I have a MacBook Pro.
OK Mozilla, fix this problem If I wanted to have to go into programming I would have taken diferent classes in college.
If I have to start changing things to fix your problems you created in Version 20.0, then I am done with Firefox, Hello Chrome. -
Lion setup assistant opens every time I log on...
I just upgraded my iMac 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo to Lion. Now, every time I log on, the Lion setup assistant boots up and requires me to "click to continue." Also, the iCloud preference pane opens up. This happens every single time I log on. I have tried to find out how to disable the screens from opening, but with no luck. Can anyone help me turn the buggers off?
rkaufmann87, Thanks again for your reply,
I had done the simple things previous to my last post - following your excellent advice on other threads. I have tried again the methods you describe, starting in safe mode. Also starting via the recovery disk and 'Repair Disk Permission' (done this about 6 times). Unfortunately no change. What is strange is the same mesage is displayed multiple times.
"Permissions differ on system/library/coreservices/remoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/contents/support/remo tedesktopapp/contents/resources"
"Repaired system library core services remoteManagement/ARDSmgmt.app"
And running Repair Disk Permissions, the same repair is affected even when this was completed in the past repair scan. It is as if the repair is not effective or there is a subroutine rewriting this again?
The Repair Disk Option has been run multiple times with no fault found.
I have even done a full install from safe mode, downloading the install file again from the app store but still have the same problem. Settings not remembered and the set up assistant launches again with the System Preferences pane also displayed. The MacBook also seems sluggish compared to the mac mini which had its Lion update and works just fine. Thankfully ios5 devices, ipad and iphone work a treat, its just getting this MacBook sorted.
Can you advise my best course of action?
I get the impression that I will neeed to backup my data and 'start again' with a disk format and clean install?
Many thanks -
i currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application.
it is showing all my existing photos but will not let me click on any of them, nor will it allow me to import any new photos into iPhoto.
I am really worried that I cannot access all of my photos and even more worried as I need to back them up!!
HELP!!Try repair the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards

In an earlier version of Firefox, when I went to close it, I would get a prompt "save tabs and quit?" that allowed me to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer. Where is that feature on the new version of Firefox?
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

In the last week my Imac (OS Lion) has started opening two to seven programs every time I log in. Why? How do I stop it? I think it started after I was led to do something I can't remember with Terminal.app.
If they have open windows/documents from your last use of the application, try going to System Preferences/General and check the 'Close windows when quitting application'.

Firefox has apparently downloaded an update which asks me if i want to install every time I open it, but every time i click yes it fails saying I have another firefox open but I don't!! no attempts to install the update have worked, i've tried a few. What can be done or how can I ensure all firefox's are shut??You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window. -
