Stop apps running at startup

Hi - everytime a i start my macbook Mail, iTunes, Calendar, MS Excel open automatically. These apps do not appear under system preferences>users & groups>log in items. I've marked them all to open at log-in, restarted and unchecked them however they still re-open automatically
This problem started when I upgraded to Lion
Any help will be appreciated

This message might help. The solution outlined in this message concerns the Terminal app, but it's likely to work with other apps, as well: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15860751#15860751

    I am new to iPad. Is There a way to stop apps running in the background or is resets only option. Don't know what Teresa has to do with it

    Close inactive apps in the background. No need to reset.
    Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.

  • How to stop apps running in background

    I tried reinstalling MS Office 2011 but cant stop an app running in the background. It needs to stop prior to the install and I cant stop it.

    Install Basics for Office 2011
    Not only should Safari be quit but all browsers and hidden Microsoft processes like the Microsoft Database daemon and SyncServicesAgent. To disable these applications:
    Log Out/In
    Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
    Log in and hold down the Shift key (this disables all startup items including the hidden ones)
    Restart after installing updater
    Note for the MAU and MERP updaters you do NOT have to restart after updating. These are found in the root Library:
    /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/
    Why Restart?
    The Restart after updater will force a file that stores the version info to update. This should happen automatically but sometimes it doesn't. The next updater will fail and you will have to re-install Office. The restart is a quick step that will save time in the long term.

  • Surface Pro 2 Graphics driver stops apps running

    Hi,
    We are having trouble with a Surface 2 Pro with Windows 8.1. Apps such as onenote, facebook and several others do not load past the splash screen(they appear open when swiping in from left). 
    The resolution of the tile screen appears to be lower than it should be, but all settings indicate a 1920x1080 resolution. 
    Disabling the graphics card fixes the problem, but causes several other undesirables. Rolling back the driver fixes the problem, but the default driver is insignificant and after every reboot/auto-update the apps stop working again. I have downloaded the
    updates and service packs and manually installed the graphics driver, but the apps start to fail as soon as the graphics driver updates.
    When the driver is disabled/roll backed more tiles appear on the home screen, even though the resolution is lower. 
    Does anyone know how i can upgrade the driver, without losing app functionality?
    Regards
    Chris
    Alistair Cameron

    Hi,
    I have ran all updates and it says its fully updates, and I attempted to manually install device driver 10.18.10.3345,
    which I downloaded from the intel site but it was 'not accredited for the platform'. 
    Its the 128GB version. The problem only started after upgrading to 8.1. I'll post the event logs asap.
    Thanks

  • How do I stop apps from running in the background on my 4s

    How do I stop apps from running in background on my iPhone 4s?  I double tap the home button and the running apps will move right and left but no "x" appears to stop them from running.

    Very few apps actually run in the background:
    Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    As the article explains, force quitting an app is different under iOS 8.

    Need to stop FireFox from running at startup. It is slowing down my computer startup.

    works the same on both oses or you can use Start Menu > windows defender > Options > Startup Programs ,
    This helped!
    Went to startup -then to all programs.
    Clicked on windows defender, next click on tools.
    click (ck) on software Explorer. next go to the category box and select startup.
    All the programs at startup will be listed with either permitted or disabled!

    How do you stop apps from running on the IPad with the new ios7?  I have an app for animation that pops up a message to stop other apps from running.  If I press onto a app and it starts shaking there are no -, just x's.

    Close inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • How to stop remittance advice to vendor after the app run

    Dear All,
                 Our vendors don't want to receive remittance advice after the APP run.
    Is there any option where i can block the remittance advice for certain vendors after the run.
    Please let me know
    Thanks & Regards
    Balaji Dhanavel

    Hi Neeraj,
    I appreciate your efforts. But just a small doubt.
    Actually i dont want to send the remittance advice Only
    If i take the email address out of vendor master record , would it make any impact in other communication.
    Please tell me where i give the email address in the vendor master.
    Your reply would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

  • How do i turn off apps running in the background

    How do I stop apps from running in the background?

    Do you mean u have no idea what apps they are? You could try Activity Monitor, but be careful there that you won't close / quit apps which might be needed by your system..
    If you have some apps which startup in the background when logging in, you can find it in system preferences -> Users & Groups, select your user and then select the tab Login Items.

  • Creative Cloud (app) crashes on startup after update

    Below I've included  an excerpt of the crash report from the log (I could post the complete log report but that seems to cause troubles posting).

  • How to make 3rd party products (ie. firefox) run on startup?

    Hi Support
    I'm a newbie to MAC. I have a few questions around 3rd party softwares that I use on my windows machine
    # firefox - i downloaded and installed and it runs fine but when i log out and log back in or restart its no longer there ... i again have to run the DMG installer. Is there anyway to make it run on startup? Also, if i click on the DMG file again will that overwrite all my preferences of the product?
    # VLC media - also installed fine and runs fine but cannot get it to run on startup.
    # The last question is the mounted disk images for VLC and firefox ... when i run them it shows up on the desktop. Anyway to hide them?
    Any help or pointers will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    You need to drag the application out of the dmg file and put the application into your applications folder which is on your hard drive. The dmg file is just a compressed way for the application to be downloaded in. To keep and use any application you need to drag the app to your hard drive so that it remains there for your use. Once you have done this you can delete the dmg file.

  • Stop and run a java program

    how can I stop then run a java program in java code?

    netcom_ wrote:
    You can do this from the command shell.I want to stop running the program by System.exit()Which will return a status code to the shell that launched your java app.
    then I would run the program lets say by command shell(in java),Huh?
    After your java app calls System.exit() you are back in the shell that launched the java app.
    The problem that all the code after the instruction
    System.exit is ignored so the command shell is not treated ,is there a solution,?You can use a shell script and use a loop.
