Why do about 6 applications open when I turn on since Loin installed?

After installing Lion, when I turn on my computer there are about 6 applications open onto the dest top - Why? Can someone please point me to where to make the necessary changes to stop it?

Also
System Prefs > General > Check the "Restore windows when Quitting and re-opening Apps" isn't selected.

  • Why do certain applications open automatically

    why do certain applications open automatically?

    If you're using Lion, and the apps open automatically when you start up/log in, it's down to one of two things. Either
    a) you had the application open when you shut down last time, or
    b) you have that application set to open automatically.
    If you don't want (a) happening, either quit the application completely before you shut down, or turn off all app resuming through System Preferences - General - untick "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    If the apps re-open even if you quit them before shutting down, check System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items. Delete any programs from the list that you don't want auto-launching when you log in.

    Mike,
    Any document left open when you Quit the application reopens when you restart the application. Rather like the jacket that I neglected to hang up when I came home last night. It's still lying on the chair by the door.

  • I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-.  All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top.  How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

  • Why think about Application virtualization before going to VDI or desktop virtualization

    Hi Team,
    I am new in ThinApp technology.
    My question is that "Why think about Application virtualization before going to VDI or desktop virtualization."
    Please help to clear my question.
    Thanks
    Yogesh

    With Application Virtualization you'll make any transition easier. While the term isn't really clear to understand for anyone new to the technology I usually find it easier to explain by calling it Application Isolation/Redirection, which actually gives a clearer idea of what it is doing. What ThinApp (or any other Application Virtualization) does is catch calls the operating system does to the registry and files and reroute that to a single contained environment. With Application Virtualization you can deploy your applications without touching the other applications or operating system. The nice thing about ThinApp is that it's clientless so there is no need for any backend or client. The runtime is contained in the ThinApp, which is why you can even use multiple versions at the same time.
    With VDI you try to consolidate resources and not buy 1000's of desktops every few years, because physical desktop migrations are a pain. You also try to make managing them easier because basically you'll only have to manage a single desktop (master image). But to get there you will have to do a migration, having Application Virtualization in place will make it an easy project instead of a hard one.
    The second reason why you would want to do it is because with ThinApp there is no need to actually deploy the application to the VDI, they can be shown on the machine but actually run from a share or even dynamically mapped with virtual disks.

  • Software update says i have applications open when i don't

    Software updater tells me I have applications open when I don't.  Now I can't even shut down the installer. HELP!

    Didn't  the installer give you an opportunity to quit it when it gave you that message?
    What were you updating?
    You should be able to force quit the installer just like any other app but depending on what you were installing when it failed, and depending on where in the installation process it failed, you could leave your system in an inseminate state.  That may mean you mght not be able to reboot.

  • Why does excel, word and mail open when I turn on my Mac?

    When I start my Mac Pro, excel, word and mail open.  Can this be stopped?

    First of all, open the Apple menu (at the top left of the screen) > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have.
    If it's 10.7 or 10.8, check that all of those applications are closed when you turn off the computer. OS X Lion and Mountain Lion reopen the apps that were opened in the next startup. To disable this, just go to the Apple menu > Shut Down, untick "Reopen windows when logging back in", and turn off your computer, so they shouldn't open again

  • No application opens when I click on Mail application

    Nothing happens when I click on my Mail application. It jumps once in the doc but nothing opens. I verified permissions, I couldn't re-install from startup CD, so from my HD clicked on the CD, found applications, mail, and tried to re-install it twice but nothing.
    My Mail applications are still there, my mailboxes with messages are in the library, just nothing starts up.
    I had OS X installed 3 weeks ago, set up a .Mac mail account (looked at it but haven't used it) made an IMAP folder, worked fine, except for the Send Items folder, they didn't show up, I clicked accidentally to send the send items to 'Mail's' Send items folder (couldn't find how to put it back), it worked but a day or two later I couldn't open the mail application.
    Other than that I don't think I changed anything. I updated Java, a few times & my computer crashed a few times (probably giving too many commands or too fast)
    I don't have a problem in OS 9 with mail, it's not the server etc.
    I don't really want to reinstall everything since I've had much trouble installing on my external Hard Drive with my iMac DV G3 blue. And I updated everything, including from OS X 10.4.6 TIGER to OS 10.4.11
    Any suggestion how to get it back?
    Thanks, Nicky

    Hi again,
    My med news isn't good, more test need to be done. Keeping fingers crossed.
    For my mail application problem:
    I tried many things but no go, as suggested:
    * Deleted preferences file: /Users/nickyyes/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    * Reinstalled mail several times after verifying disk & Permissions. Even tried fixing permissions (had a fetchmail error) from CD, then from HD. No go.
    -The last log for installing says: Package Authoring Error: Package specified by <options mpkg='com.apple.mpkg.OptionalInstalls'/> not found.
    Then it goes on to install anyway and says:
    ./Applications/Mail.app (version 2.0.7.7460200) was not installed because a newer version (2.1.3.7530100) already exists.
    It end up going over files deleting obsolete files and installing 2.
    * I also got the black Darwin screen a couple of times.
    * Downloaded the combo: Here I ran into new trouble: Verification failed.
    I downloaded it so many times that I was over the limit but each time it said:
    WARNING: The following disk images failed to mount:
    image MacOSXupdCombo10.4.11PPC.dmg Reason: invalid checksum or codec something.
    After days of looking for answers I found out that Mac users who use a router have that problem with .dmg. Downloaded via my PC and transferred it to Mac. That worked! Did it a few times but no mail application opens.
    The only thing I can think off is to delete everything to do with mail, reinstall mail, verify permissions & disk and run the combo again.
    Losing messages is ok (IMAP) but can I do any harm if I delete all mail stuff below?
    *CAN I DELETE THESE* (found by finder)?
    'Mail' folder in:
    * /Applications/
    * /Library/
    * /users/nickyme/Library/
    Not sure if I should delete these:
    * /Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts
    * /Applications/Stuffit 10.0/Examples/Stuffit Express Examples/StuffIt X and Mail.app & Tar.gz and Mail.app
    This seems odd, delete?
    * /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 5.0/Plug-Ins/SendMail
    Don't know about these, delete them?:
    * /System/Library/PreferecePanes/ Accounts.prefPane
    * Mac.prefPane
    * /OSInstall.mkg.241KOK2es/Mail.installplan
    * /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Mail.crash.log
    * /Library/Receipts/Mail.pkg
    Then there are a bunch of mail related files in different applications but I haven't used any for sending mail, so I guess I can ignore them, right?
    * DreamWeaver - MS word, iBackup has a Mail.plist, etc.
    If it's ok to delete those and it doesn't work I think I need to start from 0 but that…I'll use my OS 9.2.2 mail for a while.
    Thanks,
    Nicky

    You didn't say how cold it is where you are, but this might help answer your question.   It would also apply to just about any phone out there - not just your iPhone.

  • Leaving applications open when not in use

    This may be the world's dumbest computer question but what effect does it have on the OS to leave applications open on the dock when not in use? Any? Apps such as, e.g., Office 2008? Does it slow the OS to have apps open when not in use? Or perhaps no effect unless using them? Does it matter if Safari is left open after logging off a secure site?
    I've been compulsive about closing what's not in use but I just installed Office 2008 and Word and Excel, for example, are slow to open so I'd like to just always leave them open on the dock.
    Sorry if this is just too dumb. I searched but didn't find anyone else who had asked. Maybe everyone else knows.
