Why does Lion open everything each time I start my MacBook?

Every time I turn on my MacBook, Lion opens my calendar, email, my virtual computer, etc.  Each time I shutdown, I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging back in".  The next time I startup, all is well, but then the next time I shutdown, the "Reopen windows...." boxed is checked again.  I never want my windows (especially my virtual computer) to open automatically.  I'll open them when I need them.  Why do I have to remember to uncheck the box each and every time I shut down?  Isn't there a way to answer this once and leave it that way?

One more thing:
Go to (User) ~/Library/Saved Application State Folder
(user library is now hidden; to unhide, hold Option key and go to Go menu > Library will now be visible)
Select all content in that folder and move to Trash.
Right click (or Command + I) to "Get Info" window.
Unlock lock > input your admin password
Click the Locked option here:
Lock lock at bottom of window.
Doing this will lock the folder so nothing can be written to it. There haven't been any entries and I haven't noticed the Resume feature since I did that (although I still uncheck the box in the shutdown dialog....that, unfortunately, is still present).

  • Why does my iphone crash each time I start a new app?

    A couple of weeks ago, my iPhone (4S, newest iOS), started crashing I'd say once every four times I try to open an app. I'll open the app and within a second- the screen goes black, the white wheel comes up and it goes back to the lock screen.
    I've tried powering off and restarting, but still doing it.
    Any idea of what I should try next?
    Thanks!

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Try all of these.

  • Why does my finder restart each time i try to open a folder ?

    Hi,
    Since today, everytime I click on a folder or try using the Finder, the color wheel appears, takes a few seconds, then relaunches the finder. However, I can't access any of my files through Finder. I can access them using any program, but not with the Finder.
    I have tried creating a dummy account, but it has the same problem. I have tried opening folders using the Terminal command open but the Finder crashes again. I have also tried resetting my Finder preferences but without success.
    Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

    are you able to run a disk verify ? if so, dose it report any errors?
    Another option might be open the console; and see if any error message pops up when the finder crashes.

    Hi
    As You provide near zero info - only wild guesses are possibly
    • iMovie Pref. file got corrupted (most common origins to trouble)
    • material (Video/Codec) used doesn't function OK with iMovie e.g. H.264 etc
    • Repair Permissions - sometimes helps
    • FREE SPACE - on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk are to low - I never go under 25Gb free space
    But there are zillions of possibly culprits - so without very specific info I guess that it's very hard to be of much help.
    My main trouble shooting list follows.
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Why does internet options reset every time I start firefox 5.0?

    Everytime I restart firefox, it is not able to connect to the internet. The proxy setting in the network settings is set to manual proxy configuration. Even though I set it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network. It does not save the setting. It goes back to manual again when I shut down firefox. And the next time I restart firefox, I have to set it again. This has never happened in previous versions. Started only after I installed 5.0. Am I doing something wrong ??

    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive_Script_Warning
    Bear in mind that Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA, so there are bound to be problems with it still.
    So do your bit and report the issue using the Feedback option. The full candidate is slated for release on June 21.

  • Why does my location change every time I start/restart my computer?

    I have yahoo weather set to my location. Every time I switch to an other account or start /restart my computer it changes to another location. I follow the "Firefox cure" Yahoo gives for the problem but it continues to do the same . This started about a week ago when I updated Firefox.
    The problem is about to drive me nuts.

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
    Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.

  • 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 my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

    Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop?  By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device.  So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection.  This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'.  My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

    Hello E
    Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

  • Why is sign in required each time Photoshop CC 2014 is used?

    why is sign in required each time Photoshop CC 2014 is used?

    Are you signing out each time you quit? Normally you should just stay signed in. This "sign in" is basically the same thing as what we used to call "activation". When you sign out of Photoshop or Creative Cloud, you are deactivating the products. The products will only run while activated.
    If you are not signing out, are you doing any sort of system cleaning, or maybe such cleaning happens automatically while rebooting your computer (possibly because you are on a company network)? If so, this cleaning is also removing the files that track your sign in/activation and they need to be recreated. It's like a cookie on a web page that prevents you from having to log on each time. If the cookie is removed, you have to sign in again.
