How to stop an app from auto starting when signing on?

how to stop an app from auto starting when signing on?

Several point :
1st : do you select "auto relaunch" application when you close ML last time? don't do that next time
2nd : in system preferences/Users and Groups look at applications that are selected for automatic opening. You can remove application. Tab called "Open At Login"
3rd : have a look at /Library/LaunchDeamons/
4th : buy Lingon
Hope it can help

MAC DVD player stops networks connections...no answers in Safari.

This is a constant and repetitive error.
Everytime that I play the any DVD in the DVD player (application version 5.0.3, system version 5.0.6) Safari goes down,. there is no answser if I continue browsing in Safari.I am connected via Airport, and there are no other users browsing -access by ethernet card-
If I remove the DVD and quit DVD player my network connections are restarted, and safari responds ok.
So I can not browse in safari or access internet if I am runing the MAC DVD Player...
amazing, no?

I have the same problem.
Apparently, the "Digital Out" channel cannot be shared by multiple running applications, the first one starting takes it and keeps it. You have to stop it to allow an other (single) application to use it instead.
To me it is a bug : the front most application should take the Digital Out channel, and release it when an other one becomes front most, but this bug has apparently being going on for a long time, and Apple does not seem interested in its correction.
Poor HTMac users...

Stopping 2nd computer from auto updating

I basically understand manual update vs. auto update and have already read how to set up a new account to prevent auto update, etc. Things are good: I'm set at auto update, and if I plug the iPod into a 'foreign' computer it does give a warning instead of auto updating. That's exactly what is wanted.
But here's my problem. I have two computers and I do want it to update from the one, and issue the warning from the other. But somehow neither of the primary accounts on my computer and my wife's computer is recognized as 'foreign' though they are different computers, different user names, etc. Plug the iPod into mine and it updates, losing all my wife's files and vice versa. I'd like just one computer and one account to "own" this iPod, but two do. How can I remove the permission from one of them? Thanks.

I'm not sure if this will help as it refers to iTunes 4 but you can have a look at it: Both of your computers think they "own" your iPod
However, there is a keyboard command you can use to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go.

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

How do you stop top sites from loading in safari

I have tried for days to stop "Top Sites" from loading in Safari 7.0
In my ~Library I have locked the:
Safari db
metadata db
etc.
There is no way I can find to stop these crap top sites from loading!!!!!!!!!:(
Anyone found a way to fix this?

Never mind, I found out how to do it. However, you can't get rid of all the sites because in Safari 7.0, in the Preferences>General Tab, you can only change Top Sites to a minimum of six. So, you can't entirely get rid of them.

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

It should be my choice, not apples.
And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

How to stop music from auto starting when bluetooth ear piece connects.

Does anyone know how to keep the music app from auto playing when I connect my blue tooth ear piece? It's driving me crazy because when I'm on a call and switch to Bluetooth the music starts playing. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,

G,
You might try downloading Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play from the playstore.
I found this on the web and it may help:

Turning off autoplay does not stop videos from auto-starting, will this be fixed, or should I switch to another browser ? (which do you suggest?)

Hi,
Firefox these days has an annoying habit of starting videos on every news page that I open and when I scroll through my facebook newsfeed. There is only a very select amount of these videos that I would actually want to watch, and it's annoying to be bombarder with this media constantly.
I have tried disabling auto-play in the config page to no avail, and am not interested in installing add-ons to accomplish a task that should be handled by the browser itself.
So, does anyone know of a method to accomplish this with FireFox's own settings, or alternatively recommend a browser that does not have this offensive behavior ?
Thanks in advance...

I think the built-in setting (media.autoplay.enabled) relates to the HTML5 player and doesn't apply to plugins such as the Flash player. You usually can tell whether it's a plugin-based player by right-clicking it and checking whether it has a proprietary context menu instead of the normal Firefox menu.
To control when plugins start, you can use the "Ask to Activate" permission setting. You can adjust this setting on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then on the right side, change the permission for Shockwave Flash (for example) from Always Activate to Ask to Activate. ''(If you have plugins that run in the background or globally, such as security plugins, you may encounter problems using Ask to Activate for those.)''
Of course, once you give permission to a site, each new page you load from that site will be able to auto-start its videos. Taking detailed control of that ''does'' require an add-on. I think this one might be the best integrated with the standard permission feature:

How to stop a program from automatically starting up at login..

Each of our children has an account on my computer. Recently my son has installed Skype using his account. It starts up everytime he logs in. I tried to disable this auto start up but I think I ran in to a bigger problem.
None of the other accounts are able to configure their own accounts (about half of all the other system preferences are also greyed out) and when I, logged in as the administrator, try to configure their accounts there is no 'Login Items' tab.
I tried it by looking for the 'StartupItems'-folder in all of the Libraries but there are none. The 'LaunchAgent' and 'LaunchDaemon' folders are in the System Library but are empty.
Maybe something is wrong with the preferences...
Anybody any ideas...??

icks and it's done!
The underlaying problem remains though (why can't I find any 'startupitems' folders. and why are two of the accounts not able to configure their own accounts?)
login items that you add from the dock or account preferences are handled differently. they are recorded in the file homedirectory/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
this file is read at the login and items listed there are executed. deleting this file will clear the login items list.

In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

How to stop snow airport from Auto dialing

I have a snow airport that ran perfect for over two years and since I did the last software update it now automatically dials for internet connection when I wake it up from sleep. How do I fix this? Thanks.

I have had loads of problems after updating to firmware 5.6 - unable to connect to the DSL modem on the WAN, and unable to connect to the Mac OS9 machines on the network ("Connection Failed This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it.").
I eventually reverted back to firmware 5.5.1 and everything immediately worked again.
You can get a 5.5.1 updater from <apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremefirmware551formacosx.html>.
