Unwanted applications starting when starting up IMac

Hello,
I have recently updated some softwares as suggested.Since then Word for Mac, iDVD, Photo booth applications show up and I need to qui them one by one.
Even if I had clicked on "hide applications" in the "login items" list, it still show up. By the way how to get rid of a "login item" from the list?
Thanks for your assistance.

ven if I had clicked on "hide applications" in the "login items" list, it still show up. By the way how to get rid of a "login item" from the list?
You don't just want to hide the item in the "login items" by the sound of it, phichan. You want to stop it starting altogether.
Simply select the item that you don't want to start when you login and click on the "-" sign below the list. This will stop it from loading, rather than just "hiding" it.
Cheers
Rod

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

    When I start my iMac it turns green at startup, but for a short while, is this normal or I have to do some update to rectify this issue.

    Good that you can get to it through TB.  Use that connection to delete some files you no longer need so you will have room to boot the system and/or resintall the system.
    You can also try booting in Safe Mode.  That sometimes willl clear up enough disk space so it willl boot and then you can delete some files from there.

    If that won't work there are other remedies that take more work.  Post back.

  • Cannot start 2nd form on same application server when starting script in 1s

    Hello,
    we have a forms application running on a productive application server and the same application for different testing db's on a test application server.
    Within this application I can start a stored procedure that writes a spreadsheet via utl_file. Depending on the parameters used this might last 1 - 2 hours. When I start the procedure the forms application is blocked as expected until the procedure is finished. This would be no problem if there wouldn't happen a strange thing to some users: When they start the procedure every forms application on the same application server is blocked. This means they can work in production when they start the procedure in test environment but they can not open another test application and vice versa.
    As this only happens to some users (yet always the same) I'm lost where I have to search. I found no differences on the client machines, these are installed by a central administration tool.
    Has anyone an idea where I can start searching?

    Hello,
    I first wondered why this is happening only to some users. Now I found that it depends on the habit how the application is called.
    The applications are called from IE with separateFrame=TRUE.
    While I have a link in my XP start menue for every application and therefore start IE anew every time, other users use a website which has the same links. The difference I saw is, that I get a Java console for every application, whereas applications started from the same instance of IE share the same Java console.
    So now we have a workaround (start IE again) but I still don't know why this is happening at all.
    Regards
    Marcus

  • When starting my iMac, it shuts down automatically

    When starting my iMac, it shuts the apple and turbo sign AND a rectangle with rounded corners. The after less then a minute it shut's down. It won't start up with the cd, does't react in safe mode / reset PRAM. Does any one have an idea? regards Yuri

    Thank you for your reply..
    -The screen just turns black and the mac stops like one switches it off.
    -With the turbo sign I mean the rotating wheel/circle.
    -The rectangular is empty..
    Since it doesn't react on a SMC reset, I guess your right and I've to take it to a service centre..
    thanks again!
    regards Yuri

  • Application start script when failover

    Dear Gurus,
    When VMware HA vm1 fails over to vm2, we want to start application automatically, but our VMware engineer tells me the only way is to add the start script into booting script. But I do not want to start the application every time when I restart this vm.
    My understanding there should be a tag to distinguish failover and normal startup/stop, or there should be a exist for application start/stop,  so we can decide when to use the application start/stop script.
    Or 3rd party HA software is mandatory for this situation?
    thx in advance.

    With respect to Application, there are 2 options VMware currently offers.
    1. Enable Application monitoring : To enable Application Monitoring, you must first obtain the appropriate SDK (or be using an application that supports VMware Application Monitoring) and use it to set up customized heartbeats for the applications you want to monitor. After you have done this, Application Monitoring works much the same way that VM Monitoring does. If the heartbeats for an application are not received for a specified time, its virtual machine is restarted. Here Application itself will not be restarted but VM (when Application that you configured for monitoring)
    Refer:VMware vSphere 5.1
    2. vSphere App HA: This is another product (Plugin to web client): Here you can configure your Application. Once configured, when Application fails, application will be restarted for set number of times, if it is not successful, VM itself be restarted.
    Learn more here: vSphere App HA 1.1 Documentation Center
    If you would like to have anything else, you can raise feature request with VMware.

  • When I started my iMac, I could move my mouse cursor but I could not clik

    When I started my iMac, I could move my mouse cursor but I could not clik. Following some advices from the discussion board, I did run the safe mode. Nothing changed. Hence I could not log in. Need help, please.

    I am using an Apple Magic Mouse and up to yesterday there was no problem.
    This morning when I logged in, I got a note that my trackpad battery is low.
    I tried to close that notice, failed. I tried open finder, fail. I could move my cursor but could not clik. I turned off.
    Now here I am.

  • [Forum FAQ] Why does Office 2013 cost more network flow when the application starts by default?

    Recently, we’ve heard that our customers encounter high network traffic since they large-scalely deploy Office 365/2013 within the domain/site. Does this behavior relate to the new Office? Or does Office 365/2013 cost more network resources in this case?
    To troubleshoot this, we consider to analyze what happened during the process by Network Monitor tool. 
    Start a new capture first and launch Office Word 2013, get the following things as the screenshots:
    According to the information above,
    in addition to the network authentication flow, we could notice that the Word.exe would download a lot of PNG files from the link “/en-us/templates”. What about those PNG files?
    Let us try to directly visit them via IE:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TM103463086.png?ts=AOLhIeGIzwg
    Beyond question, they are the thumbnails of the Office template which are downloaded while the Office application starts by default.

    In
    some certain circumstances,
    we might disable it by Office option or Group policy.
    Disable Start Screen by Office 2103 UI:
    Open Office 2013 application, go to File in Ribbon > Options tab > General page > under the section of Start Screen options, uncheck the options "Show the
    Start screen when this application starts"
    Disable Start Screen by Registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General
    DisableBootToOfficeStart (DWORD): set the value
    to 1
    Disable Start Screen by Group Policy:
    Disable Start Screen by OCT:

    That's a possibility.  However, do you now hear the horn blast every time you start from a cold boot?
