    why do all the programs open when the mini is turned on, and how to avoid this?

    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.
    Remove all apps listed there.
    And check /Library/StartupItems
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/StartupItems
    Click Go then move all items from the StartupItems folder to the Trash.

  • Why do all the white colours in my animated GIF files look grey?

    Why have all the white colours in my GIF files look grey? It is only apparant once published, and can change from browser to browser? (firefox tends to work, but not chrome)
    They should have white backgrounds. I have played with just about every setting when exporting the GIF in photoshop. And seems to work fine.
    But when published through muse it's grey??

    Hi Holy,

    Your gif also looks fine in chrome check this Small Video: http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2013-10-24_1916.swf
    Please check on any other machine and see if you can see gray background. Also, make sure you have the latest version of chrome installed.

  • HT1152 All this help info tells me to use idvd, but I can't get it to open.  I asked the applecare guy and he says the new macs don't include idvd any more, so why do all the menu and help items say to use it?  I know there's other dvd burner software, wh

    I want to burn my imovie to a dvd.  All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open.  The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it?  Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this?  What's the best one?

    Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

    You might still be able to recover them using one of the methods discussed in this older thread, but many of them require a full functional, noncorrupted iPod filesystem in order to work properly.

  • I've created a new user but don't see it in the login screen

    I've created a new user but don't see it in the login screen.  Can somebody help?

    Hi,
    Before going further, I’d like to recommend you check if the address list is visible in OWA.
    If yes, this issue occurs when the AddressBookRoots attribute of the Microsoft Exchange object does not have the same distinguished name value that is set in the All Address Lists attribute.
    For more detail resolution, you can refer to the following article:

  • Mountain Lion Desktop crash? Randomly it returns me to the login screen and I have restart all my apps

    So after install of Mountain Lion (never happened before) my desktop crashes and it returns me to the login screen.  After I login I have to restart all my apps.
    One morning this happened 5+ times in under an hour.  So my productivity has gone down :-(
    I work around this by only running three apps (finder, terminal & firefox), and then it sees to only happen 2-3 times a day...sigh.
    The only other odd thing and have no idea if it is related is that firefox was showing some animated image from the olympics and when I had it on one screen it was fine, when I had the window on the other screen, the image was not the right image, it looked like it had reached into the screen buffer of other applications and was displaying that (e.g. where there was a scrolling flame for the right image, there was some scrolling upside down text from my terminal when I had it on the other screen where the flame was supposed to be).
    An help on how to debug/solve would be helpful.

    You're welcome. If you use Zoom often try the new show controller feature. It's below where you turned zoom off. Once you turn it on you can use it to turn Zoom on and off. Plus you can use zoom as a magnifying glass instead of full screen.

  • I was getting an app in the store and finished all the logins/confirmations and such, and then this "download now" button comes up that i can't click, and now everytime i open app store this unclickable button is there and i can't get it to go away

    Hi
    i was getting an app in the app store and did all the logins and confirmations and stuff, and when that was done a thing pops up in the middle of the screen that said "download now" and an OK button, but i can't click it.. and not anywhere else, so i can't use the app store for anything else until this thing is gone, so anyone know how to fix this?

    If you Go to the app store on your phone, then go to updates you should have a purchased icon at the top.
    Click on that and it will show the apps you have downloaded before as they are stored on the icloud.
    Then you should be able to click on the app and redownload it, not sure if it will charge but its worth a try.

  • How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?

    Hello!
    Because we often switch to a user,
    which is listed last in login screen,
    we want move them to the second place.
    How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?
    Thank you for a tip
    Erhy

    The order users show up on the login screen is the way they are ordered under the
    C:/Users directory. This is usually alphabetical, AFAIK there is no other way to change the order other than to change the username to something that starts with a letter that will be higher alphabetically.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
    • What You feed iDVD does matter
    Video codecs
    Audio file formats
    Photo file formats

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro get past the login screen

    My MacBook isn't getting past the login. I log in but it stops and keeps a blank screen

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My keyboard doesn't work from the login screen, but when I login as a guest user it works fine (minus the brightness buttons, playback buttons, etc.).

    I've already switched out the batteries and the keyboard works fine, so I fear it might be some sort of bug? All the methods of restarting or resetting certain settings can only be done from the login screen or from within an account, when the keyboard doesn't work, and the guest options are limited to non existent.

    Try doing a SMC reset, you may need to do this 2-3 times as sometimes the reset doesn't always "take" the first time. To do a SMC reset, shut down the computer, unplug the power cord from the wall and computer, wait 15-20 seconds and restart normally and test. If after 2-3 resets it still does not work test another keyboard. If that keyboard works then this indicates your keyboard has failed and needs to be replaced.

  • This morning, my iPad screen didn't respond to my touch commands. It displays mail, but I can't move the screen, can't delete an incoming item. Nothing. All the other screens work normally -- just no response to mail.

    This morning, my iPad screen didn't respond to my touch commands. It displays mail, but I can't move the screen, can't delete an incoming item. Nothing. All the other screens work normally -- just no response to mail.

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
