Start up items. How to?
I tried searching the threads but everything under startup items is related to power on/off issues.
How do i add applications to the start up folder so that they will automatically run every time i start my mac book. I have found "start up" folders, three i think, on my hard drive and am not sure what folder to add the items to. I am trying to get menu bar applications to automaitcally run ie ejector and tiny alarm clock. I have added them to a start up folder via:
system/library/startup items. Is this the right folder? How come this folder dosen't apear in spotlight? thanx for the help.
Hi Jiggs -
Click on the apple logo in the far left of your menu bar...
select System Preferences, then Accounts, then select the account (highlight it from the left panel ...if there is only one user then only that user will be selected) you'd like to modify, then select login items.
Once here click the + (add) button and then browse your Folder/Drive and select the application(s) you would like to launch whenever you login.

I recently upgraded my OS from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8, so that I could download iTunes to my new iPhone 5. After upgrading to 10.6.8, I received error message about my Symantec Norton anti-virus security, so I upgraded that to security that's compatible with 10.6.8. Now I receive the error message above, about my Start-Up Items folder. There are currently no items in the folder. How do I get rid of the error message above? Thanks for any help.
Hello,
Resolution:
To prevent the "Insecure Startup Items folder detected" message from appearing
Open Disk Utility from /Applications/Utilities.
Select the name of the volume where Mac OS X is installed (default name is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button.
After permissions repair is complete, restart Mac OS X and verify that the message no longer appears.

Hi
We are having SRM5.0.
Trying to create Contract. Workflow Without approval of contract(WS1400086)is activated and start conditions also no workflow activated.
Contract is created and getting message Contract created.
But when tried to release the contract it shows "Awaiting approval".
In Workflow log (SWI1)it shows error."Error when starting work item xxxx".
What could be the reason. Please let me know the solution if anyone of you come across such error.
Thanks in advance
JagadishMasa
It is maintained as General task already.
It seems the workflow task WS14000085 does not have definition.
When checked in SWDD for the above teask there are no steps defined for that workflow.
SAP says that we need to define and action for workflow WS14000085.
But what is the procedure to define the workflow.
I presume this is the standard workflow and it should be defined by default when it comes along with the SRM package.
Anyone of you know how to define the workflow and activate the same?
Regards

HI all
Pardon me for the stupid title - -been some time since on the forum
This is much better.
So the situation on son's Mac Book Pro.
It seems a few days ago the computer would not take a CD - -not huge deal
Then suddenly he had trouble.
Turned on computer and get the folder with the ? I am pretty certain this means it
can't find the start-up items.
I guess he tried to do some "diagnostics on the internet - it was a Hardware diag.
and said everything was OK but couldn't find a HD
So he bought a new HD and we just installed it. Start tje computer and the same question in folder.
He bought the HD from apple so not an aftermarket.
I guess he is not sure where is start-up disks our (kids) but what can we do now?
He is at our house now and can't seem to connect to the internet becuase he can't see my network
which is wireless.
Is there something we can try - -should we re-install the old HD - -the new one may not be formatted
not sure all we know is it was from Apple direct.
He just told me the OLD hard drive could be read by a device at school. So it seems perhpas the HD MAY? be
OK but there is some sort of communication thing going on.
In the old dayson my G-3 slot - -we would start up with a network
Not sure how do do any of that on this book
PLease help - - very important (he is a grad student and needs the computer that is why he paid for
on day shipping
What do we do? Any tips tricks?\ please offer any ideas - -dad is stuck - -Thanks
JimHello Grant - -Thanks - -
I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
(small world)
Not really certain what you are telling us - - I am not good at computers
A couple of other things that may be tips - -
1 - on wednesday of this week
our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
After that trouble started - -
2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
info - -it will not take. He wanted to try a network start-up .
I forget how that is done.
4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
10.5.8.
Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
into mine like an external device or something like that
I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this and must admit I have no
external enclosrure? but I have an external HD on my I-mac
As you can tell - -I am not to good at this

Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations
2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates. The only items visible in start
menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
the start menu items.
On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
So to summarize in a bulleted format:
Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
Investigation and Troubleshooting:
Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
No windows updates were initiated on any servers
Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.
MichaelSpauldingHi,
I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
1. Run Troubleshooter
Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
Create a new library
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

In addition, you may refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article for the Windows Search related Group Policies.

Create Stop and Start Table item using HTMLDB_ITEM - APEX 2.2.0
Hi, all,
I guess the subject says it all. How can I create a Stop and Start Table item using HTMLDB_ITEM? I think I can just output "< /table >< table>", but I'd like to use the built-in function if there is one, in case the way tables are rendered were to change, or in case my thinking is wrong, which is always possible ; - )
Thanks, for this and for all of your help!Don, there is no function provided for this.

Start Up Items (Listed on System Profiler)
Hi,
I have two macs. My Mac Mini is running on Tiger and MBP on Leopard. The Mini has 16 "start up items" listed on the systems profiler that I have no item what they do. My MBP only has 4.
How do I identify necessary from unnecessary start up items?
I would like to remove the items I do not need. (Faster start up and possible hacker crap).
Thank you....This are the listed Start Up Items. Do you see any problemware?

Our school has a lab of 35 new Intel Macs. Some have begun to have programs start when the computer is booted up. Not all the programs are the same. I have checked the accounts for start up items and there is nothing in the list. How can I stop programs from starting upon start up of the computers?
Could any of the students downloaded some 3rd party software. Some, known as APEs, modify the BSD part of the OS and can cause odd problems.
If the items are in the Dock, be sure that "Open at Login" is not checked. I don't know if they all would appear in the user login area.
As another test, create a new user on one of the machines and don't let anyone know the password.
See if the problem exists with the new user.
Check the download folder for any odd programs as well as the download window in Safari.
I suspect that this is related to student's installing programs.
Be sure that none of the computers give the students Admin permission. All student user privileges should be minimal, certainly not administrator. They should not have the ability to install software. -
Can't make start up items disappearing
Hi,
Everytime i start leopard there are two things starting automatically. I can't figure out how to make them not starting:
1 Finder opens some path on idisk, always the same path, though it wasn't there at last shut down
2 Automator want me to create a new project. Since I once opened Automator it comes back at every start up..
There is nothing in my start up items list nor in administrators account that have to do something with these applications.
Kind regardsTry starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Error publishing Start Menu items -12044
Hi,
I am working with WebCenter Sites Jumpstart kit and i am facing error in Mirror site configuration for avisports_store Publish Destinations. The Error is given below. Any Idea how to resolve this problem
Error publishing Start Menu items, -12044, [pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/Admin/MirrorSitePost] Error: com.openmarket.xcelerate.commands.StartMenuDispatcher: Publish: com.openmarket.basic.interfaces.AssetException: Remote object save didn't fire [error was -611]
Regards,

www.infotechinspiration.blogspot.comThe said issue is resolved by using another physical machine for publishing Start Menu items. The Other physical machine is the same replica of actual development machine and this machine is used for mirroring and publishing. Note the Other machine must be up and ping properly.

I accidentally wiped my mac OS partition while trying to expand the memory on BootCamp windows to play games. I did this through dropping memory on the mac then trying to merge the unallocated memory with windows 7. I'm now left with windows 7 and next to no memory, i dont have any data i care about backing up as i've only just got this mac (i bought it off a friend and they can't find the installation CD) So i just want to start over but how can i do this?
You'll need to find the disks, or buy new ones. Snow Leopard only comes on DVD.
Call the Apple store and purchase SL for $29 while they still have some in stock. Prices have skyrocketed for SL retail disks. Going anywhere from $85 to $125. While you have Apple on the phone, make sure to have your Mac's serial number handy. This is important because the last retail release of SL was 10.6.3. If the Mac you now own came with 10.6.4 or later, it will not be able to use the retail disk.
If that's the case, then you can use the serial number to get the correct replacement gray disks the Mac came with. It's not expensive to get them and would be good to have anyway since the retail disks do not include the bundled software such as iLife, Garage Band and a bunch of others. -
