When I start my iMac, a few programs start along with the computer. I don't want any programs starting by default. I have reviewed the Preferences of these programs, and see nothing to uncheck regarding auto startup. And I don't see anything related to this in System Preferences. How I can start the computer without programs starting with it?

I left it alone after trying to start it up several times. I tried again today and had the same problem. I will here the motor for a few seconds and then nothing. Also, it did come on twice, went off both times when titled the entire laptop up. So, if I tilt it at anytime it automatically shut off.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite Ver 10.10.1. Whenever I plug in my Apple headphone it in, the iTunes automatically starts and I would like to disable the same. I am talking on FaceTime using my head phone, (I am guessing some small movements of headphone triggering this) the iTunes starts automatically and the songs start to play during the FaceTime call.Â
Does any one know how to disable the iTunes from not starting up automatically, whenever a Headphone is inserted into Mac. I can start iTunes whenever I want like any other application. But I just don’t want any automatic starting of iTunes, when I plug the headphone!

Parental control is active, but no restrictions on which applications they can use; just website restrictions and time limits.Allowed them to modify the dock. Each time they log in various applications automatically start and removing them from the startup list does not seem to solve the problem, and one is not even on the list. The "re-open windows" check box is NOT selected when they log out and I watched them quit the applications before logging out.
Example: for one account iTunes Helper always shows up on the startup list... I try to remove it in their account and it just pops back up... this appears to cause iTunes to autostart each time the log in... annoying.
Example: same account, the System Preferences always start up... fortunately it is locked so the kid can modify anything. But again, annoying.

My DNS servers changes automatically away from the routers setup and into a server in the affected ranges by DNSChanger virus. I have tried the following:Virus scan by ClamXav - no virusesFlush the DNS Cache as per suggestion in above threadHave run the DNSChanger Removal Tool - no infection indicatedRenew DHCP Lease - changes back to router address, but then changes back to infected range within a minute AUTOMATICALLYÂ I have checked addresses on all routers / airports in my network and they seem stable with addresses outside the infected ranges.Â
The only thing, that seems to work is to load the open DNS servers as per the above thread, but I am concerned that using them is using a "crowded space" and would prefer the automatic allocation to be working without the computer defaulting back to the infected range. Please refer to screen dumps below First the "clear" range:and then the ranges that the computer changes back to within a minute from Renewing the DHCP Lease:Â

I logged into my macbook pro the other day and I noticed that my picture was blank (by blank I mean that silhouette icon that you have with new accounts). So i opened my addressbook and reset my picture. A few minutes later, I noticed that my profile picture was reset to blank again so I changed it again and waited. Right before my eyes, the picture changed back to the silhouette again.Â

After reverting back to my old ID (url...), I cannot get the screens to change to allow me to log in with this apple ID. I have gone to the apple store to log in with this ID, changed the log ins at the apps and iTunes icon login screens, and zapped the PRAM. Yet, my old ID, digidov, still pops up.

Hello everyone. No I AM NOT looking to mod the apple logo in my menu bar. My question is this: Why does my apple logo change color from time to time? I have seen it Red/Orange, blue, white/grey, and traditional black. Why is it doing this? I have never seen it before. No I haven't changed backgrounds/themes. It isn't all the time, infact I am not sure if it is related to any specific user intervention. I am just curious as to why it may be doing this. I've googled and only founds ways to hack it. NO I am not on hallucinogens. I thought it was related to the Apple Software update, indicating I had new updates, but this was disproven today when it was Red and I checked for updates.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a question about using my new samsung tv as a monitor for my macbook. I have all the cables and such and my TV reads the computer. It actually shows the desktop background, mouse, and the toolbar on the tv...
BUT....when i try and open a program such as safari or itunes it does not display the program on the monitor but rather on my macbook screen. It shows the program open on the tv monitor but it shoots off the screen and then opens on the macbook screen.
Also the mouse disappears from the tv monitor screen on the left side only, and when it does it becomes visible back on the macbook screen! Any tips or suggestions on how to get the programs to show up on the monitor instead of the macbook screen?
Is there any way to automatically change all the quotation marks in the document to the smart quotes? Or am I going to have to go through and manually change all of them? I've tried adjusting the proofreading settings to use smart quotes then proofing the document, but it's not correcting the quotation marks.
