Spotify always starts automatically even when asked not to.

Hello, I am running Windows 7 Professional. Can you please correct the Spotify desktop application so it does not keep forgetting my preference to NOT start when Windows starts. If I set it to "no" in the advanced settings, it conveniently forgets this and starts anyway, at which point upon returning to the settings I find that it has been changed back to "yes" or "minimised". When I said no I meant no - I even removed it using MSConfig but it's still finding a way to start. I want to run it when I want to listen to music, not to have it sitting idle in the background clogging up resources when I'm not using it. Please fix or it's a fast track to uninstall.

After you have changed the preferences to "no" ,try deleting "prefs" file in "user"/AppData/Roaming/Spotify andWhen you run spotify.exe next time it should make a new "prefs" file with your "no" preference in it.

Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP Statistics Collection is turned off?

Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP
Statistics Collection is turned off?
<P>
The SNMP Statistics Collection field on the Server Status|SNMP
Subagent Configuration form affects only the SNMP subagent, which is a separate entity from
the collector process (snmpcoll). Currently, snmpcoll does not look
at the SNMP configuration data when it starts up. It is started by
the dispatcher and terminates when the dispatcher terminates. Many
of the statistics are supposed to reflect cumulative values recorded since MTA
initialization, such as the total number of messages sent and received.
As a convenience, the collector process collects information in the
background even while the SNMP subagent is turned off; this way,
the values are available when the SNMP subagent is configured and
turned on.

Collections fall off on the Date of First Deliquency 7-7.5 years later; that is supposed to be reported as the first time you went late (1-30 days) on the OC (original creditor) in the chain of events leading up to it's being farmed out for collection as I underestand it. DOFD though sometimes doesn't get reported right, and by default it will be the date the collection is added to the bureaus. As an example I have an awkward collection (not sure how I got it looking at the payment history thought I'd cancelled that account but TWC billing apparently didn't think so) which I went late on in 2009, but didn't get farmed out till late 2010. The DOFD is 6/09 looking at it, and it's expected to come off according to the bureaus 6/16 as a result. Different negatives have their own rules though.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

See if a device is attached and "open iTunes when iPod is connected" is selected. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16483979#16483979
Check for other iTunes preference settings that might cause this.

How can I stop Firefox from going to an https url automatically even when I type in http?

The browser is loading https websites even when I type in http. Asking for security certificates, etc. My home page is listed as http:// ....but when Firefox opens it, it is https://
I have changed the autobar fill in abbout:config, but it has had no effect.
The only solution I've seen on the Internet so far is to switch to Chrome, something I'd prefer not to do.
Running the latest Firefox 30
Thanks.

Your homepage is http://news.google.com/ per your system details.
Google has recently started switching everything over to HTTPS, so you may want to check Google help about that.

My friends say my ichat is always on invisible even when i set my status to availible??

When i chat with my friends, they can never start a chat or a video chat with me because they say i am always invisible, even when my computer has a green light and says i'm availible. how do i make myself not inbvisible to my contacts?

HI,
I would check for th possibility that you are logged in twice.
This includes AIM Express or even just logging in to the AIM web site as it has a default 2 week login period if you don't specifically log out. (remember phone Log ins as well)
If you are using Lion iChat 6 then go the the iChat Menu > General Section and untick the item that shows the Buddy List as one.
Then change the Status Message on each Buddy List in turn.

Keep fixed resolution even when display not attached

Is there any way to lock the display resolution on a Mac, even when there is no display attached? Or to change the set of display resolutions that are available when no display is attached?
I connect a Mac to my A/V system via DVI -> HDMI. As long as the unit the Mac is connected to is turned on, the Mac gets reasonable EDID info and allows me to set it to 1920x1080, as desired. But after turning the A/V system off overnight, the Mac invariably reverts to some lower resolution, which wreaks havoc with window sizes and positions. I just want the Mac to stay at 1920x1080.
I tried SwitchResX, which lets you add available resolutions and disable resolutions, but only when the display is attached, so it accomplishes nothing when the display is disconnected. I've confirmed the inability of SwitchResX to address the problem with its author.
I purchased a Gefen DVI Detective Plus that theoretically learns the EDID information of a display, keeps that information available to the Mac at all times, and passes the video through it. This would be perfect, except A) it doesn't work correctly in the learning mode (I never did get an image up that way), and B) using a built-in EDID configuration it doesn't cleanly pass the video (it works sometimes, for a little while, but then sparklies start to appear and before long the HDMI connection is lost). Useless.
I found information on the web about various .plist files, and I've edited most or all of them, all to no avail. I think I could give myself additional resolutions, while a display is connected, but, again, it's the behavior when there effectively is no display that is causing me problems.
Unless someone here knows a way to lock the display resolution or to edit the set of resolutions available when a display is missing I fear I'll be moving and resizing windows for the rest of my days.
(Note: This machine happens to still be on Tiger, but I'd be happy to upgrade it to Leopard if that would afford a solution.)

Are you saying you already got it fixed but the problem is reaccuring??
I am part of the unlucky ones who didnt't have applecare or the extended warranty. My iMac broke down 8 months ago. I no longer have any display. The strange thing was I left it at home because I went to uni, so there was a period of at least 10 months where it was not used. But still it failed within a few weeks of me getting back home. I was sucked in by their adverts making me believe they were a superior computer to any windows based. How wrong was I. It has now left me with a very bitter taste.
Any of you guys know if it still will work if I connect an external monitor?

Photos copies photos when importing even when told not to copy photos when importing?

The new Photos app is pretty cool.
The one thing I didn't like about iPhotos is still present here: Rather than handling my photos in the Finder it creates a weird database full of all the photos -- and the only way to get to them is via this one app. I guess maybe we'll have a solution for that in the future.
But I have stumbled across something that may be a deal breaker for me: Even when set to not COPY imported photos, it turns out the Photos copies imported photos.
In preferences: GENERAL -> IMPORTING you can choose whether to Copy Items To The Photo Library.
Well, I don't want to do that. I have 8G of photos on my drive, and relatively little space, and the last thing I need to do is use double the space! So I chose not to copy items when importing.
I come back a couple hours later. And guess what? My Photos app/library is 8G in size! Photos has copied all my photos when importing. So now I have two copies of all my photos on my hard drive, and I am running out of space.
Is there a way to make that setting, to not copy photos when importing, work?

Hi,
Thanks for the idea. Here is what I found:
The "Masters" folder is very small. 300MB.
The "Previews" folder is a similar size.
"Thumbnails" are under 1G.
It's the "Resources" folder that is many gigs in size.
Very interesting. So in a sense, it could be even worse!
That is, apparently the setting prevented the "Masters" folder from getting 8 gig of photos copied into it.
But even so, "Resources" ended up with 6.5G in it -- even though no files were copied!
Wild.
Other photo management apps (e.g., Lightroom) have sort of a 10% overhead, not a 90% overhead -- i.e., close to the same size as the actual photos themselves.
I should probably start a fresh question, now that you have solved half the mystery: Yes, the actual photos were not imported into Masters, but Resources gets really big!

Register network - even when its not in range

I bought a Macbook Pro for my in-laws, who aren't tech savvy and live in pretty far away.
Is there a way that I can set up the Macbook Pro to recognize their wireless network, even though its not in range?
I have the network details, since its own my own laptop. Any possible way?

I don't quite understand what you mean by that but you can do the following. in network preferences->airport click on advanced->airport and check the box to remember networks this computer has joined. then when you are connecting to a network for the first time check the box to remember the password in the keychain (I do hope you password protect the network). then airport will automatically connect to this network any time it's in range.

My cursor recently started to dissapear when im not using it but when i press a key it flashes back for a second... how do i fix this?

Well I'm a frequent Firefox user ad recently my cursor has started to dissapear when I'm not moving it. However when i press a key it flashes back for a second also, when I'm moving it flickers a lot (one moment its there one moment it isn't). How do i fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Earlier today (july 20th 2010)

Never saw this problem until today, first on Facebook, then on these Mozilla support pages. I had one Firefox window with multiple FB and Mozilla tabs open.
Here's my observations: On the FB and Mozilla pages, the cursor (arrow/hand) acted identical and as described here, would disappear after 2-3 seconds of inactivity or non-motion, then instantly reappear with mouse movement or key strike but only momentarily if no further motion/action occurred. Interestingly, I also had one FoxNews tab (actually FoxNewsInsider) open, and observed slightly different activity. The Cursor/hand would disappear as described above, but instead of staying invisible, it flashed on /off for what appeared to be <1 second on then <1 second off, until mouse movement or key strike. Now, here's the really interesting part ... When I opened a second FoxNewsInsider tab, the problem corrected itself with no direct action on my part to resolve the issue. I was going to close all tabs, then Firefox and perform the system reboot to correct this annoyance ... but, still have not seen the problem.
Okay, I'm not going to say viewing FoxNewsInsider webpages not only provides one perspective on news, and the added benefit of fixing cursor/hand problems .. but maybe there's some to being well informed ... Sorry folks, couldn't resist ... :) I will be watching for the disappearing cursor issue again, and will reply here with any updates or changes in my observations.

Why is Safari quitting unexpectedly, even when its not open?

Safari is constantly quitting, even when Safari is not even open. When I do open it, I can normally use one website and then it quits again. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

safari will not even be opened or running in the background and i will still get the error message that "Safari has quit unexpectedly" and my options are reopen browser, close, or report.
lately, upon immediately opening Safari, i am prompted this message, no matter what website I travel to.

The Message Pane shows up even when selected not to.

When I open Thunderbird the Message Pane shows up. I have gone to View, Layout and deselected the Message Pane but it will show up again when I open Thunderbird. When I look at the layout again, the Message Pane is checked marked again. I have to deselect the Message Pane continually. This is a security issue for me in that some e-mail security issues are activated by just having the e-mail displayed in the Message Pane.
I always update Thunderbird immediately when a new version is released. Can you solve this problem because it has been an issue for me for quite some time and several Thunderbird updates.

Christ1,
That seems to have solved my problem. I even did a re-boot to make sure that the T-Bird view was without the Message Pane. Thanks for your help!
Now I have to figure out how to get rid of all of the cache that T-Bird and FireFox leaves behind.
Thanks again,
Billibus
