XFCE4.2.1 remembers previous open apps
When I start xfce4.2.1 it "remembers" the apps I had open in a previous session, even though I unticked the "remember apps" box on shutdown.
How do get get it to start cleanly with no apps open?

What you want to do is close all of the apps and CHECK the box, not uncheck it. You want to save your session with no open apps, correct?
It's not a remember apps box, it's a remember session box.

BEfore updating my iPhone 4S, I could double click the home button and delete all of the previously opened apps. After updating, I am not able to figure out how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thank you.
After you double click the home button you swipe up on the app screenshot.

When closing an app, focus doesn't return to previously open app
Just as the subject line says. Is there a way to make OS X Leopard revert to the previously open window after closing an app? Perfect example: I open a pdf file from a website, and Preview opens to display the file. I close Preview when done but Firefox is not focused. I then have to click inside the Firefox window to make Firefox active, then I can resume whatever I'm doing in FF. Thanks.
ericd67,
Typically, focus will return to the previously active application when a second is quit. In the example you have given, however, my assumption would be that: 1) you have downloaded the PDF with Firefox, then 2) you opened the downloaded PDF by double-clicking on it.
This second action on your part would naturally have been done within the Finder. As such, the Finder would be the "previously active" application, and will be the application that becomes active after Preview is quit.
One way around this particular scenario would be to right-click (control-click) the downloaded file, and choose "Open" from the contextual menu. This is possible without actually making the FInder the active application. When the second application (Preview, in this case) is quit, the previous app will be come active, not the Finder.

How to stop previously open apps from reopening at startup?
Several apps (not listed in User & Groups > (current user) > Login Items) are re-opening at startup. I also leave un-checked the "Reopen windows when logging back in" setting. Please help.
First thing I did was:
1. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items (uncheck unwanted startup apps)
2. Following infinite vortex's instructions:
- quitting all your apps
- navigate to Library folder (option clicking in the Go menu if necessary)
HD > Library > Preferences (folder) > Find all occurances of files that start with com.apple.loginwindow ... delete them. Restart immediately.
Hope this helps. -
Ipad 2 shows 'shadows' from previous open apps
When I close an app after using it for a while, I still can see that it leaves 'shadows' on the screen.

I don't know if you can see it.. but the white area where you type the websites URLs are still visible even at the homescreen, after I closed the appI've recently just noticed I've got the same issue, im pretty sure it wasn't there before as I would have noticed it, but this is the first time I've see it. It does seem to fade away after a while. But would like to know what the problem is. Doesn't seem to be any answers or related issues online anywhere either
Anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it?

If you are going to allow the user to use the phone in lasndscape mode, shouldn't you allow them user to get the full experience of landscape? I mean; by simply enabling the icons to rotate as the phone is tilted, you solve the problem and I for one will appreciate that very much and so will the other users. Take for instance the camera app; all icons tilt as the orientation is changed (very nice!!)

Before I updated to the new iOS - I was able to turn off app's by tapping the bottom button twice and then placing and holding my finger on the app - I can't do that with the new OS and it quickly wastes battery life. What can I do?
Double click on the Home button. Swipe left-right to view the previously opened apps. Swipe UP to close them.

i m a new n97 user and im not a satistfied with its performance.may be nokia is trying to turn down iphone,so this mobile is a result of that compitition which i think iphone is winning.
the screen is not good in all aspects.whenever i use the phone lil bit more,its screen starts showing writings of previously opened windows like if i previously had opened google n then i switched to video,the google screen will be still visible transparently in the video which im watching.
i dnt think that there is anything i can do with this problem. is this a hardware problem or software issue?
and please nokia concentrate on your product manufacturing ,not on what APPLE is doing.beemee7 wrote:

How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn-off the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign but in this version I could not do so and my iPad appears slower.
Close inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen -

Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.
1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo. -

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

Can someone please help me with this problem?
Parts of websites/programs/apps I previously opened show in the background of safari instead of the normal background of the website. It only happens at some of the websites I visit. Is it an error in the website or in safari?
Thnx!Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/com.apple.WebProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari again. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with Safari. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A folder should open. Delete the following items from the folder, if they exist:
com.apple.Safari
Anything with a name that begins "com.apple.Web"
Quit Terminal. Close the folder. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Internet Plug-Ins
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Safari.*.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
SyncedPreferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Here, * stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Note 1: You are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”
Note 2: This step will remove your Safari extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to reinstall them, do so one at a time, testing each time to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
Try again. Your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks...
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place. -
Preview opens previous opened when open new one
Every time I want to preview a photo, multiple photos I have previously opened also pop up.
Very annoying! Any suggestions on what to check/change or what I am doing incorrectly?
Thank you!Yep, that's a new Lion "feature". Still buggy in the implementation, in my opinion; as you point out, if you open a specific document, rather than just starting the application, the documents that were open when last run also pop up. And there currently appear to be no way to tailor this, you either have the feature or you don't.
If you'd rather not have this feature at all, go to the General menulet in System Preferences, and uncheck the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" checkbox. -
How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?
How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart? I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)
One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys.
When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q.
