Why does Chrome open when I switch my Mac on?

Hi everyone I am a newbie Mac owner and loving it. I have Google Chrome installed on my Mac and have noticed recently that whenever I turn my Mac on Chrome automatically opens up. It never used to do that when I first installed it. I have made no changes in preferences and can't find anything in preferences to prevent this from happening. Does any one have any solutions please?

Check the second box.
Shutdown the computer. When this dialog appears uncheck the box.
Open Users & Groups preferences in System Preferences. Click on the Login Items tab. Be sure Chrome is not in the list. If it is then select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

    [[Firefox launches automatically when your computer starts]]
    If you have nothing Firefox related in your startup folder,
    Your issue may be caused by Malware. You can run and update the following '''free''' anti virus software:
    1. Malwarebytes (Free version) - http://www.malwarebytes.org
    2. Spybot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org
    3.Spyware Terminator - http://www.spywareterminator.com

  • Why does iphoto open when i plug in my iphone instead of itunes?

    Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

    Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

    What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

  • Why does subVI open when a VI is run without highlighting execution

    When running the VI Proc Recipe Array without highlighting execution the subVI VPTS Proc Cmnd gets a green arrow over its icon and opens. I want to run the main VI without opening any of the subs. Why does that subVI open? All sub are in the attached LIB file and the test file needed is also attached. You should place the input file in the C:\VPTS\Recipe folder.
    Attachments:
    Vacuum_Pump_subVI.llb ‏949 KB
    test_rcp_011402.txt ‏3 KB

    This is because the SubVI VPTS Proc Cmnd has an option "Suspend when called".
    To cancel this
    1.open the subVI,
    2.click with the right mouse button on the subVI icon in the up-right corner of the window,
    3.select "VI properties...",
    4.choose category - Execution
    5.and uncheck the option "Suspend when called".
    Good luck.

  • Why does Chrome open Flash Player from grave into Android?

    Hello Adobe Developer,
    I'm totally surprised because Google Chrome gets enabled Flash Player 11.7 / 11.8 on Android.
    I have tested with Youtube.com than i use Google Chrome under Android 4.1.2  ( Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 )
    Is it fake or arvariable?
    I knew since August 2012 and Adobe Flash Player was died for Android. But why does it happen with Flash Player to surivived mode.
    I am using UC-Browser with Adobe Flash Player 11.1 =) It works fine.
    Now Google CHrome 27.x Version has updated with correct Flash Player 11.7 / 11.8. I am mad and surprised.
    Thanks-.....

    1. Try clearing your browser cache.
    2. Try updating your netwrok Adapter drivers.
    If all else fails, download the zip file here: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=LW2uMC-muU*eva7lwEmoww
    Unzip it, and double click the deepclean_set file.
    Your Disk Cleanup will open, but not like it usually does.
    Check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
    Next, double click the deepclean_run file and let the disk cleanup run to clear your temp files and other unnecessary clutter from your hard drive.

  • Why does iMessage open when I"m chatting in google?

    Why does the login to iMessage window open up when I'm chatting through gmail?

    Hi,
    By default the first thing the Messages app asks you to do is enter an Apple ID to use for the iMessages account.
    You can ignore this and use the set up to add other accounts (or use the System Preferences > Internet Accounts to enable them).
    If it is not already, I would go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and in the iMessages account untick the box for "Enable this Account" even if it does not have an Apple ID.

  • Why does iPhoto open when I connect my iPhone and iPad to my iMac?

    Whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad to my iMac, iPhoto opens. This started within the last week or two. Any suggestions? Are there some Preferences I can change to stop this? Thank you.

    Take a look at this article and note the section about disabling iPhoto for certain devices. Maybe that will help.

    I trust that you have totally quit iPhoto and rebooted your Mac?

  • Why does Mail open when it is not my default email client?

    I prefer Thunderbird as my mail client and it is set to be my default.  However, if I click to send a picture by email, not only does it open up in the TB mail message, OSX Mail also opens along with an empty draft mail message.  How do I stop this?  I have turned off Mail. 

    Thanks, John.  That is how I already set TB as my default client.  I thought I had solved the issue of OSX Mail opening in tandem, but in fact it still does it.  Very odd.

  • Why does yahoo open when I click for a new Firefox page?

    Ever since the new upgrade, when I click for a new Firefox page, I get Yahoo. I don't want Yahoo searching. I want a new Firefox page. Yahoo Search is not in my add-ins or in Program to Delete. How do I rid of it?

  • Why does Yahoo open when I pick a category in Firefox?

    Say I type "Macys" in the search box. What comes up is Yahoo that gives all the listings for "Macys".
    This happens for any category I place in the search box.
    This hasn't happened before. What's up?

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

    Call AppleCare (number is in the manual) and then request to speak to Customer Service. Be patient, organized and articulate and they will transfer you. When you get to speakt to someone then explain your problem and ask for their help. You should have all your receipts, invoices, trouble ticket numbers etc available for reference.
    You can also take to an Apple Store in Spain, while this may not be convenient at least then an Apple person can see the machine and work on it.

    Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Hi,
    Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.
