Unable to restart without having all the programs reopen

I've been frustrated by the new feature with Mountain Lion OS X that gives you the option to "Reopen windows when logging back in." when trying to restart the computer. When I uncheck the box, it tells me that such and such program, for instance, Adobe has prevented the restart from happening.  Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? 

Then, you'll have to learn to quit the apps that cause this. More info in http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110918051930924

  • How do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without having all the songs and games from the first one copy onto the second one?

    - Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
    - Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

  • Not having ALL the sub links appearing on top of page? Please help...

    Is there any way to set up a "main" page for the photo gallery on iWeb, and have that particular page link to various sub pages, without having all the sub galleries appear in the link section at the top of the page?
    To be more clear, I am a graphic designer and when I am in "Design" and you click on "Identities" it takes you to a new page with a logo, then you click next, see the next one...ect...but all these sub pages appear.... I just want "Design" to be up there, not all the sub pages.
    Thanks a lot to whomever can figure it out... getting frustrated here : (

    Welcome to the discussions. In iWeb, display the page you don't want to be displayed in the navigation menu, and in the Inspector > Page tab, uncheck "Include page in navigation menu". (Repeat that for each page you don't want to be displayed in the navigation menu.) Here's a _video tutorial_.

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

  • My firefox restarts my PC all the time.

    Hello Guys
    My firefox restarts my PC all the time. It just hangs everything on the computer and restarts without stopping. What to do?
    I formatted my machine and I can not use firefox. It restarts my computer all the time, lock screens, freezes and shuts down the entire system.
    How do I remove it and stop the problems I can work normally.
    Someone can tell me what to do? why is this happening?
    Regards
    Suzana

    Eset looks good, so maybe it's not a virus, but I would try also running:
    ADWCleaner . . . https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/
    and
    Malwarebytes Free . . . http://www.malwarebytes.org/downloads/
    I was getting the blue screen a while back, when I had an old sound card installed. I think the driver was incompatible.
    I moved around and reseated the memory. I did a memory check. There was no problem there. I used the tip of a ballpoint pen to reset the CMOS: I pressed in and held the yellow button in the corner for 10 seconds, this checked the RAM, if there were an error, it wouldn't go up to 2048
    I found that there was an update for the BIOS, so I did that. Look on the manufacturer's web page. It may not have been the fix, but that's something to look at.
    Two other culprits that I know from experience - make sure you have the latest driver for your system, for the video card - not a bad idea to look at the sound card also.
    I'm in Win 8.1
    First, here's what I would do (have done) - If you're in Windows, this is probably the same path:
    Control Panel / System / Advanced system settings / Advanced tab / Startup and Recovery - Settings / System failure / [un-check] Automatically restart
    . . . Reason: Because then the next time it restarts, it will give you a blue screen, and hold, right there.
    . . . This gives you the opportunity to see an error code at the bottom of the screen, that will enable you to figure out what's going on.
    . . . If it just restarts, I think this flashes on the screen, then just continues to restart.
    . . . Write down the code, get back online, and start googling to figure out how to fix.
    . . . From the blue screen, hold down the power button for a couple of seconds, that will power it off. Leave it off for 10 seconds, then power it back on.
    Second - here's where to look for more clues . . . see what was going just before the crash, and start googling what looks suspicious:
    Programs / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer / Windows Logs - and look under:
    . . . Application . . . and
    . . . System

  • How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

    Hey Hey! 
    Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
    I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
    How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space. 
    Thanks!

    Deborah,
    You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes.  The syncing process is only one way.  However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder.  From there you can copy them back over to your PC. 
    Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

  • Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is trying to backup data from the iPhone.  I have done everything suggested in Apple support.  How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my phone?

    Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system.  I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success.  I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data).  How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)?  If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • When installing Maverick on my 17" Macbook pro I got the message that my HD is damaged and can't be repaired. I now can't restart without simply repeating the attempt to install Maverick and thereby returning to the same message. How do I abort install

    When installing Maverick on my 17" Macbook pro I got the message that my HD was damaged and couldn't be repaired. (not good news!!) I now can't restart without returning  to the Maverick setup and therefore returning to the same message. How do I abort the Maverick installation so that I can try to return to the previous OS so that I can try to recover/repair the HD

    I have the same problem with my 2008 MacBook. Repair disk from disk utility says it was successful but the installer thinks it's groundhog day after a reboot. I also tried fsck -fy after booting in to a command mode and it came back clean but again the installer gives the same error message. It seems like a bit is stuck somewhere indicating my HD is bad when it isn't.
    I had the latest version of Mountain Lion and have applied every upgrade up to then without issue.
    Anyone find a solution yet without having to erase the entire disk and staring over?
    Attached is a screen shot of the error.

    iTunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?

    I've had this problem on my Windows XP for years. it's been around, unsolved, or no solutions in these forums.
    It keeps reminding me why Apple will never be the primary office computer company. Anyone running a business cannot have software running that will not behave, won't shut down, or behaves without any explanation, and this problem has no explanation, or solution that I can find except to use task manager to kill the process and only use iTunes when I'm expecting to shut down or kill the process.

  • My daughter cant remember her passcode, and she has never synced it.  Is there any way to restore without losing all the apps and music?

    My daughter can't remember her passcode, and she has never synced it.  Is there any way to restore it without losing all the apps and music that were downloaded?

    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
    Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode >  iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later installed, and iOS 4.3.3 or later, can re download iTunes purchases for free.
    So retore the iPod, then re download the iTunes media.

  • I bought creative suite production cs6from Adobe and I have downloaded all the programs. However CS6 premier Pro does not open. A message says to upgrade mt video driver. This I have done but it still will not open. Please help Brian Dowdall

    I have the CS6 production suite. All the programs work except Premier Pro. It starts but tells me I need to upgrade my video software, which I have done.
    Can I rpair or  reload the Premier pro again without effecting the other programs in the suite which all work well.
    Brian Dowdall

    Nothing to do with the program. Something is not right on your system, but since you haven't provided any proper technical information we can't even begin to guess.
