Which programs should run at startup on a new macbook?

I accidently deleted one of the programs, which ran at startup. I don't know what it was.
So - which programs would normally run at startup on a brand-new macbook?

If it were me I would definitely have gotten the 8 GB, even before upgrading the storage. You can always use flash drives/external hard drives if you need additional storage, but you can never upgrade the RAM.

  • Several programs are running at Startup

    Hi Everyone, I truly need your assistance as I am a novice to the internal workings (system Admin) of the computer (Windows 7). My computer is performing terribly and when I check the "troubleshoot" system it tells me that "SEVERAL PROGRAMS
    ARE RUNNING AT STARTUP". I know this a simple "fix" if you know what you are doing but I don't.  Please help me....someone.
    How do you know which programs are the ones needed at STARTUP?.

    It the Resume feature.
    When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
    Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
    Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
    If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
    Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
    defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    Press return.
    You can also accomplish this through the GUI by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit and delete that file…
    (note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
    To turn off Resume globally...
    chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
    Press return
    The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
    The reverse of the second one is
    chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
    Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Which Server Should Run Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service

    We have just deployed Sharepoint 2013 and also CRM 2011..
    Our Sharepoint 2013 Environment has a WFE and an APP server and we have a CRM 2011 box.
    We have been getting the following error in IE when Users in CRM are clicking on the Document Link under accounts which links to Sharepoint 2013
    "This Content cannot be displayed in a frame
    To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
    It seems like it is a IE Security Issue, but I am suspecting it could be the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service.
    Which server should be running the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service| WFE or APP.
    Also which server should run the Windows Service: SharePoint User Code Host
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Please have a look at the following post:

    As it describes, the recommendation is for both services to start it on the Web Front End servers.

  • I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
    I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?

  • On a new computer, which program should I install first, Photoshop or Lightroom.

    On a new computer, which program should i load first, Photoshop or Lightroom.  I will be using both.  Thanks

    I'd say Photoshop only because some report doing it in the opposite order can cause issues with the Edit In Photoshop command.

  • How do i choose which programs to start upon startup?

    how do i choose what apps start upon start up when i first turn my laptop on?
    i keep having my finder app start as soon as i turn my macbook pro on........ can anyone help me to direct me how to choose which programs start up on startup? thanks in advance! Sam

    Finder is going to have to start at each bootup. It's how you interact with Mac OS X.
    Follow Keppy's instructions above if you have other programs that you want to load at start up.

  • Should I have to calibrate my new macbook pro 2012?

    Should I have to calibrate my new macbook pro 2012?

    I leave mine plugged in when at a desk to avoid "cycling the battery".  In fact after 32 cycles and 14 months, it still holds 101% of designed capacity.
    I just remove it from AC power at least once a month and run it down to 40%.
    Oddly ... when plugged in the battery will slowly discharge to 95% then recharge to 100% save over-using rechrge circuits.

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Is there a way to control which processes should run or not ?

    I have a mac with Snow Leopard and was wondering if there was an app or some other way to control which processes run at startup and which dont etc ? I made a new user account and logged in and noticed that it ran like brand new. It loaded up faster and smoother than my normal account. I looked at the processes running and noticed that this new account loads up like a 4th of the processes my main account runs at startup . How can i make my main account run the same processes only so it will run as smooth and fast ? is there an app for this ? thanks (an app that also tells me what each process is for will help too so i can close the processes that i dont need and so that i dont have to close them every time i reboot, but that it will also stop them from automatically loading)
    Message was edited by: Pianohero

    most of the apps that would run at login (which btw is different from startup) automatically are things in the login items. there may be a few items in homedirectory/library/lauchagents but that would be the only place. other than that what runs at login on one account will run on the other. note however, that if you remove any launchdaemons from homedirectory/library/lauchagents the apps that made them may not work properly depending on what those launch daemons do.
    what 50 other processes are you referring to that you see on your main account? most of the stuff you see in the activity monitor are system processes that should not be removed. normally they hardly consume any CPU or RAM.

  • Which programs should my artistic 14-year-old daughter learn next?

    Hello,
    Not sure where to put this so hope it is OK here.
    My daughter is 14 and  has learnt Photoshop. She also loves art and has a Bamboo tablet and Manga Studio. She also posts her blogs on Youtube using iMovie.She is thinking of making her own web page.
    I am wondering which programs in the Adobe Creative Cloud would be best for her to learn next and as I am very much a text person,  feel a bit overwhelmed looking at the complexity of some of these programs. However, I get the feeling that there is a lot of crossover knowledge once you have learnt one.
    So my questions are .... should she keep on learning more about Photoshop, or move on to Illustrator (the last thing she did was design a T-shirt for a sponsored run in her school this week - so if you hit me with vector-graphic questions I will run away ), or do something else.  Should she stretch iMovie until she has to move on to something else or would she have fun learning... what?...
    Should she start her website with something like WordPress and scale up, or should she start learning Muse or Dreamweaver or both, or have the fun of bouncing things around the screen using Edge Animate, or is that more for professionals once they have a solid knowlege of.... what? . From what I have read, Flash is becoming a thing of the past so presumably no worth learning any of the Flash suite, or-......I want her to have fun and express her creative side. She also likes Maths so does not necessarily have to be shielded from a little bit of coding, but ideally it woudl be great if she could learn useful skills for the future as well as being creative.
    Not sure if there is a better discussion forum than the Photoshop one, and this is my first post, but perhaps you will forgive me and thank you in advance for any tips.

    There is some basic knowledge and skills that all require in common, but not as much as you might think.
    Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" or clouds should come as no surprise.
    The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
    The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.
    As to which applications to "learn next" it all depends on her particular individual goals and needs,

  • Which program is running? any idea?

    On a unix server, Apache Jserv runs the servlets for a website.
    Now can anyone tell me how to find out which particular servlet or program is running at any particular instance of time?
    The 'ps' or 'top' just lists one process for java, which is the jserv running.
    Actually I am trying to identify one program which seems to swamp the server, but am unable to pinpoint.
    any help will be appreciated.
    regards
    Saifuddin

    Well, u haven't seemed to have time to read "how Servlet works" before working on servlets.
    Just to give u an idea. servlets are not like CGI Scripts which run a Diferrent processes for each request. Servlet use a Single JVM, while spawning a Thread internally for each request. Hence, all the resouces allocated are shared between the Diff threads. They all reside in ServletContext class. so if u want to control/(get info about) the Servlets, u will have to tweak your servlet program a bit which will access the servlet Context and give u the desired result. A good Servlet Programming book could tell u how to do all this stuff!!!!!!!!
    hope it helps....

  • How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

    I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop.  I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop? 
    Thanks,
    Shirley

    Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
    The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
    How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
    If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2)  you will need those serial numbers also.

  • Installing and running Arch linux on the new MacBook 2015

    So Apple has just started taking orders for the new 2015 MacBook. You know --
    the thinnest and lightest MacBook to date (even thinner than the MacBook Air),
    with a 12 inch retina display, the Intel Core M processor, a single USB-C port,
    and the new force touch trackpad.
    I'm pretty sure there are a few people like me who'd like to buy this new
    MacBook and then install and run Arch (or some other flavor of linux) on it.
    But of course, this MacBook is in many ways very dissimilar to previous MacBook
    Pros and MacBook Airs. So this thread is a shout out to likeminded individuals
    who are willing to brave the odds and install Linux on this new machine, so we
    can help each other figure out (and hopefully fix) the inevitable issues that
    will arise when we venture into this uncharted territory!
    I have a little bit of experience installing and running Arch on MacBook Pros
    and other Apple computers, but I'm (very) far from being an expert. But based
    on my limited experience, I think the following areas will pose the biggest
    challenges to getting Linux properly up and running on the new MacBook:
    1. Installation: it's possible that booting a live USB will fail. So we might
       have to use a CD. Indeed, perhaps we may even have to build a special ISO
       image for this laptop. And once the install is complete, EFI/EFISTUB booting
       with/without refit/refind may or may not work. Also, installing a bootloader
       (grub, gummiboot, etc.) for dual booting Mac OS X and Linux may be a
       challenge. We might have to endure kernel panics and deal with cryptic error
       messages while booting.
    2. Wifi may or may not work reliably. We might have to do some tinkering with
       different drivers, etc.
    3. Battery life may not be very good. We might have to fix a few things here.
    4. The HiDPI retina display may or may not work properly with specific window
       managers/desktop environments. Fonts/icons might be too tiny, may not scale,
       etc.
    5. The new Force touch trackpad may not work out of the box. In fact, I'm
       fairly sure the regular xf86-input-synaptics package won't play nice with
       this trackpad. There may not be support for features like the trackpad's
       haptic feedback, multi-finger gestures, pressure sensitivity, etc. Indeed,
       this might actually take a while to get properly working under Linux.
    6. I don't know if the new USB-C port will work out of the box. It may not
       play nice with USB flash drives and other peripherals and there may be
       issues with ehci/uhci/whatever.
    I tried Googling around trying to learn as much as I could about the issues
    above, but since the laptop is going on sale only today and most users are
    probably not interested in running Linux on it, I came up quite empty. I think
    many others on this forum might also have faced the same issue.
    So here's an open invitation. Let's share our experiences trying to get linux
    working on this laptop. If you buy this laptop and try to install Arch on
    it, please let us know how it went! Even if some things work out of the box, it
    might be useful for others to know, so please share.
    And of course, if you have more information/gotchas: for example, if you
    encountered and managed to fix one or more of the issues above, or you
    encountered a problem that's not on the list above, or even if you tried
    something and it didn't work out as expected, please post below. I'm sure this
    will be a very big help to others trying to solve similar issues on the same
    hardware. Thanks!

    It would probably be beneficial to post the output of lsusb -vvvv and dmesg.

    2. Broadcom BCM4360 AirPort Extreme, not supported.
    5. The new Force touch trackpad and keyboard, both SPI bus devices, do not work.
    On 2, it may just be a case of needing firmware, my laptop has a BCM43602 card, and the firmware required has only just been added to the linux-firmware package.  Prior to that I had to install it manually.
    On 5, I'm wondering if you identified them as SPI devices by looking in OS X, I ask because my laptop categorises my keyboard and trackpad in the same way.  But they are actually still both connected to the USB bus, and presumably using SPI as an interconnect between the keyboard/trackpad and the microcontroller that tie them together.
