Using mavericks, how to control login apps on imac

Hi, just bought a new imac 27" 2014, using Mavericks, and restored from backup of the old imac. When I boot up, mail, firefox automatically load. I want a blank screen with nothing open. Where do I find the control for this? Not coming up in spotlight search...

Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the Login Items tab, select the undesired items, then click on the Delete [-] button. If nothing is there then open General preferences and check the second option.
Next, select Shutdown from the Apple menu. You will then see this appear:
Uncheck the box.

  • When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?

    When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?
    It was easy to do prior to mavericks using system preferences (language and text), but now I can only submit a 2 letter word to replace, not a 1 letter word. I have tried using a space but it doesn't allow that. I would assume that most people would love to be able to type quickly without having to make uppercase I all the time (first world problem i know), so I can't understand why apple have removed this feature.

    There is the shift key, or text replacement approach, providing you have enabled two things:
    Edit > Substitution > √ Text Replacement
    System Preferences > Keyboard > TextClick + to add a replacement
    Replaceii[spacebar]
    With
    I[spacebar]
    Press return
    Quit System Preferences
    Now, when you type ii, you will see a pop-up offering I.
    In the OS X App Store, search for WordService. This free collection of Services will enable you to just type your content, select it, and then choose the Service item, “Initial Caps of Sentences.” It does what it says.

    hey, can i use the mac remote control on the new imac 2013? if so, how?

    No,
    The new iMacs no longer have an IR receiver.
    If you want to control your iMac remotely.
    If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

    how do I get apps from imac to air. Just purchased an air

    There are several ways to do it. The 'cleanest' way is to install them fresh on your Air. Anything you purchased from the Mac App store, you can install on your Air by logging into the App store with the same Apple ID.

  • How do I login to my iMac when it rejects the same password always used?

    I use the same login password for my iMac and Macbook Pro however, the login password no longer works for my iMac. It still works for my Macbook Pro... I checked all the silly things such as caps lock etc. to no avail. Does anyone know how I can access my iMac? It says I can use my Apple ID if I forgot my password (which I didn't) and I tried using both my Apple ID and password and that didn't work as well...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you so very much!

  • How to control podcast app account?

    I want to log out and log back in to another apple ID for my podcast app on the iphone. How do I do that?

    Hello ther aapl.crox,
    You can change the signed in Apple ID for the Podcasts app in iTunes and App stores in Settings on your phone:
    iTunes Store settings - iPhone
    To set options for the iTunes Store, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    View or edit your account. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. To change your password, tap the Apple ID field.
    Sign in with a different Apple ID. Tap your account name, then tap Sign Out. You can then enter a different Apple ID.
    According to this article that is where the account info is determined for the Podcasts app:
    Podcasts for iOS: Sync podcasts - Apple Support
    An Apple ID. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Interactive Reports using collections - How to control column headings

    Hi,
    I found a link in the forum somewhere that showed a step by step how to to use collections with Interactive Reports so you can dynamically build the SQL and also control the column headings. Does anyone know where the How-To is ??
    If not, I know how to build the SQL dynamically but what is the best way to control the column headings.
    Sometimes the report will have 17 columns and other times up to 30 columns.
    Thank you, Bill

    Hi Bill,
    Without knowing more about the PL/SQL code, the underlying tables and the select statements used, it is difficult to say.
    I would firstly check that I had indexes on the right column or combination of columns. One minute sounds a lot for a query to me, but that may be ok if the tables are very large and the PL/SQL has to do a fair bit to construct the output. You could also do an Explain Plan for any query to check to see if indexes are being used if they exist - this would also show up any part of a query that takes an inordinate amount of time.
    I assume that the PL/SQL is only run once even if the page is reloaded multiple times? However, once the collection has been created, the report itself should be fairly quick as it should be just a simple select over the collection data. Switching on the debug mode should help identify which part is taking the time.

  • How do I use ios remote to control volume on my imac

    I used to be able to control the volume when using my imac to play itunes through an airport to remote speakers using the ios remote app. Is there a workaround to get the volume control back so I can sit on my patio w/my iphone and change the volume?

    You just need to slide the volume slider in the Apple Remote, but will need to be connected to your wireless network. 

  • Using Mavericks OS, purchased program through App Store of which had problems with current OS, therefore deleted program with intent on reinstalling same from App Store, I am unable to redownload this program because it is greyed out and shows installed.

    Purchased application in App Store (Opus Domini). Did not play will with OS X Mavericks. Deleted program to re-download from App Store. However my list of purchases shows this program as installed and is greyed out. Need to re-download. Have talked with company and they are working on an update for OS however this will take some time.
    Thanks.

    An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

  • App on my iMac is using up all my bandwidth help, app my iMac is using up all my bandwidth help

    Hi All,
    Looking for some help here. Whilst my imac is running it using up all my bandwidth on my connection ( I have a slow 2mbs Adsl connection). I have quit all applications in my dock and have checked on activity monitor, nothing there that i am aware of that needs to be closed. When i run a netstat it shows 7 active sessions but i have no idea what they are, hopefully not a virus. I have only been a OSX for year but have a wealth of experience of diagnosing connection issue due to working for an ISP.
    I know it's not my router , my actually sync to the exchange , or the network i am on or any unknown devices on the LAN and can see the connection varying in activity monitor from a few kbs per second up to 200kps(my whole connection)
    Anyone that can provide advice how to identify the sessions on this one would be greatly appreciated

    You are probably using applications that fetch data over the network.
    Google maps, the camera application, safari, app store, itunes app, and several other 3rd party applications do that.
    The only way I can think of getting rid of that is by putting false information on
    settings->general->network->cellular data network.
    That way you won't be able to use the carriers 3g and edge network.
