every time my mac starts up, my MS office package starts up (MS Word, Excel, PP) and also my Pages software. How do I stop this from happening. We operater OSx Lion...

First check your login items under your user account and make sure that they are not selected to load. Then make sure that when you restart or shutdown that you don't have the "reopen windows..." checkbox ticked.

When I sign into or out of Gmail - many other pages automatically refresh. How do I stop this?

I hate automated things, when it's NON consensual and it's part of some automated bullshit trip.
I might have half finished texts on the other open tabs, or what ever, but it's MY bandwidth to chew up on things I see fit, not the people of Mozilla, or Google or whoever.
And while the account page is gmail, that I am signing into or out of, the other pages are NOT google pages either.
I think the designers of the "refresh / automatic refresh" should be shot - because the reason I have a PAGE (tab) open, is because I want to access THAT page, and not a later version of it...
This auto-reload / refresh of some tabs absolutely annoys the piss out of me, because I did not ask for it, and there is NO apparently easy up front way to stop it from happening - which I also think is one of the best way to alienate users of a product - by building in a host of idiot functions with NO control over them.
So how do i stop this from happening?

<blockquote>
That may be happening for websites that participate in Google+. ''IOW, Google+ knows about a lot of things you use on the internet; like they're following you around.'' You may want to check those websites to verify that they are connected with the Google+ program, or not. ''In that case, my hypothesis is incorrect.''
I think what happens is that you sign in at Gmail, which is a Google+ sign-in these days, and all the other web pages that participate in the Google+ program somehow "sense" that you have just logged into Google+ and reload their page to reflect that you are nowlogged into the Google+ program. Google+ was originally an "option" at Gmail, but that ended not to long after Google+ came about - like within 6 months or so.
http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/learnmore/better/
One solution is to stay logged into Google+ / Gmail all the time. Another is to transition away from Gmail over time and use a different web-mail platform instead; and eventually stop using Gmail altogether.

Yeah this is sounding like "THE PROBLEM" and what drives it. However, the solutions you have offered are not "solutions", in that they do not "FIX" the issues, they merely circumvent or bypass them.
Since I can't go punch Eric Schmitt on the nose for being a nazi prick, and send him the bill for wasting my internet data, I want to stop the collusive programming practices of the people from Mozilla and Google - from operating my computer, contrary to my mandates. i.e. It's my computer and I am paying for my bandwidth." - I have total say so about what I allow to go on, not anyone else.

I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

That is a new Continuity feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off.
You may also want to consider using separate Apple IDs. That is more flexible now with new Family Sharing features: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

Whenever I close Firefox it asks if I want to clear the history and gives me a list of options. How do I stop this from happening?

Firefox doesn't show such a dialog by default, so it might have been added by an installed extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

When i try to add songs i downloaded from bandcamp they get alphabetized. How can i stop this?

When i add an album i downloaded from bandcamp it does not sync in the right order. Why, and how can i fix this?

If you are getting a box which looks like this -
- then you are right-clicking or Control-clicking on the icon in the Dock, or are click-and-holding on the icon rather than just single-clicking it quickly.
In any of those cases, clicking on a bare patch of Desktop should make the box (menu) disappear.

When my windowsXP start up I see the message: applephotostream.exe not working? How do I fix this?

When I sign on my computer, windows Vista serv. pac 2, I see a message that states: applephotstrem.exe is not working. I do I address this error or problem?

Wow! Just Wow!! And iMovie is not smart enough to keep a user from doing this? "Warning: You can only use one event file/folder for one movie 'project.' Attempting to do otherwise will likely unlink your first project from its source clips." How hard a programming problem could THAT be? [And iMovie could even follow, you know, "More info ..." - with simple instructions for duplicating the event folder/files.]
I suspect I'm re-screwed, since I have used stills from the one event clip to populate a segment of audio I only had on a digital audio recorder file!!
Before I started on the later, I exported the video segment to iDVD. Hopefully I've "frozen" that one (??). I guess I'll find out.
Unbelievable.

When browsing, my pages are often redirected at random--sometimes to objectionable sites. How do I stop this?

This is not a problem that has to do with searches. If I go to one of my regular web pages, say Yahoo!, the site will come up, then disappear when I'm redirected to some other page. The new page is random: sometimes something I've searched or used before, such as Amazon.com, sometimes a random site, such as a dating or school web site, and sometimes porn. It first started with facebook, but has spread to nearly any page I open. Today, I was on a secure web site (my bank) when redirected. Please help!

When downloading a file is completed, it is automatically opened, how can I stop this behaviour?.

Every time I download a file (documents, audio, etc) Firefox for android automatically opens the file when the downlod is completed. This is relly annoying when I want to open it at a later or when I want to downoad a lot of files. Is there is any way to stop it from automatically opening downloded files?

This will change in Firefox 25.

I just did a update on my Iphone 5..now when i send a text message,it repeats back under my phone number..how can i stop this?

my texts are repeating back to me under my number,why?

There are multiple reasons why the update failed, unless you can provide an error message/code that came up then nodbody will know.
Now your iPhone is in recovery mode and will now need to be connected to a computer with iTunes and restored to factory settings. This will install the update at the same time.
If you have a back up of the iPhone before the issue occurred then after the restore to fqactory settings you can restore the back up to the iPhone. If there was no back up then I'm sorry your data is gone.

When I delete email items they repeatedly keep coming back as new mail. How do I stop this?

After I downloaded the latest operating system, deleted old emails keep reappearing in my inbox. It takes several tries at deleting to get rid of them. They also go into my Outlook on the desktop so that I can print and save documents.

Log into your webmail on a browser and delete them from there.
