when I upgraded to 10.10 or 10.10.1...upon startup my MacBook Pro started asking me if I want use Dropbox. Mac used to let you determine "startup items" but I can't find that option.

I have a problem with my Dropbox in Snow Leopard because it is all the time being started when I login and I'd like to disable that. I tried unchecking the option in the Dropbox preferences and deleting Dropbox from the "login items" of my account. But when I restart the computer it's there again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Skype and noticed that it starts up when I log into my Mac. Fair enough: for the time being I don't want this, so I entered the Accounts control panel, then Login items where I ticked the "Hide" box next to where Skype was listed. But Skype still starts up when I log into/power up my Mac. What gives? I thought "hide" meant the same thing as "disable" during login, but apparently not. I know I can remove Skype from the Login items list, but since I sometimes want it to automatically start when I power up my Mac that would be a bit cumbersome.

iTunes won't quit when I ask it to do, and thinks it is syncing my iPad even when it is removed physically also. How can I make iTunes quit without enforcing, because then, after restart attempt, it says that it can't startup by lack of access to a locked item.

Note the F keys on the 11 inch, and the new power button. What's missing? Also note the lack of the word 'backlit' in the descriptions for either machine. Both machines have the same keyboard, just to eliminate the power button in the name of aesthetics.

I have tried looking at the services and libraries but cannot locate the specific item needed to be deleted to remove the appdelete contextual menu item.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wrote an AppleScript script and saved it as an Applet that needs to run in the background whenever the system is up.
1/ I tried to set it as a startup item, so that it would start running as soon as the Mac is on -- however without success. I did not find out what the proper way is of doing this.
2/ Then I tried to set it as a login item for each user. This is not as good, but I thought it may an alternative, 'buying me some time' to figure out how to do it properly as a system startup item. Launching the app works fine, but the user cannot log off again, because the system cannot seem to quit the script. So I have to stop the process in Activity Monitor, obviously not a solution.
3/ Also, I would prefer the script to not show up in the Dock.

Since I've installed yosemite on my Macbook Pro, when starting up my keyboard doesn't light up. After I type in my password then the keyboard lights up. Prior to yosemite as soon as the area for typing in my password came up my keyboard was lit so I could see the keys in the low morning light just to sign on.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Had problems with connecting to the Exchange server so I did a restore from my time machine from the day before I did the upgrade. Now the machine starts to turn on, then shuts down. The iMac does not have a CD drive.

I have a mid 2007 20" iMac that I just rebuilt with a new 1 TB hard drive and 4GB of ram. Afterwards I upgraded to Yosemity 10.10.1. Today (3 days latter) it froze up, tried everything but had to hold power button in to shutdown. After restarting I tried doing the hardware test thats in my operator's manual holding the "D" key during power up. It was bypassed and opened straight to my desktop. Can I perform a hardware test with the new operating system?

I've noticed that when I boot in startup mode, I see 2 different options titled "Macintosh HD":
Disk Utility also shows one "Macintosh HD" partition within "Macintosh HD".
Is this normal, or have I accidentally created a redundant partition?
By the time OS X displays the startup disk full message, you computer is already useless. Is there a way to get this warning at 5GB free space?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI usually connect my iPad as soon as I've heard the startup chimes, but since upgrading to Yosemite, whenever the iPad is connected, iPhoto opens. Usually, nothing will open until all my extension things like Dropbox are happy, but iPhoto somehow manages to kick off. Now, I don't like iPhoto. I don't understand it and it rarely does anything I want it to, so I don't often use it and I particularly do not want it to open, slowing up starting and serving no purpose.

I am disabled and unable to type on the keyboard. Can I set my computer not require password at start up? If not, is it safe to just let it sleep when I'm not using it, meaning it would be on 24/7.

Is there anything better than dropbox for file syncing that i am not aware of?
it would be very nice if someone would help me bump up my storage space by signing up and install dropbox at this link [removed].
I installed SL 10a432. Transferred a lot of files to the share/dropbox. In swedish this is called:
~/Delad/Brevl�demapp/ which in English would translate to "~/Shared/Mailbox folder/" or something similar, it not related to emails, just the literal translation....
what should I write in spotlight to reach this folder? i have tried loads of combination but I cannot find this folder in spotlight but I can find the items in it...
if I write "dela" as in "Delad" it suggest "delat" like it would suggest share insted of shared when it in fact was called shared....
The 1password keychain is encrypted, but if I open the keychain file so I can use 1password or to look up info on my keychain on an open unsecure WiFi, could other people see my passwords and secure notes?
I believe read Dropbox stores all files encrypted, but that MobileMe does not encrypt them. Is that correct? But since the 1password keychain is already encrypted it's not necessary to have it stored encrypted like on Dropbox??
So this Gruber comment on a Shawn Blanc posting got me thinking about how Apple would create a Dropbox competitor.

I�ve heard rumors of a �Dropbox-killer� service from Apple, possibly a part of Mac OS X 10.7. I don�t know if it made the cut, but we�ll find out in a few hours.
The problem, of course, is what about Windows? I�m not sure how an Apple cloud syncing solution could be tied to a new version of Mac OS X.
Interesting. But knowing Apple they wouldn't just copy Dropbox they'd add a bit of flair to their version. I'm just speculating here about some of the features that I'd love to see.
Rather than one root folder I'd love to be able to set up multiple "Cloud Folders" that could be on the Desktop or Sidebar in the Finder. That way I could have a folder for shared items or have secure folders that are password protect. Sky's the limit.
There would be an option to save a document to a sub-folder that would then publish directly to iWork.com
You would have the option to sync or ignore on a folder basis. There would be Windows access as well to the Cloud Folders through an app and http access as well.
There would be Mac & iOS API access that links in with 3rd party vendors (and their API).
Apple clearly has to wrestle back control of the Cloud infrastructure that iPhone/iPad users rely on. They don't have to kill iDisk but rather they need to augment EVERY Mac and iOS iDevice with the ability to access content through the Cloud.
I like to backup the "Documents" folder as I have a lot of crucial information in there. Dropbox is perfect if I'm using my Mac, as I just throw a Document folder alias in there. Perfect!
But on my iPhone, on the Dropbox website, or on a PC, it simply doesn't work. It thinks the alias folder is an unopenable file!
How do I get it to open on other systems? I know I could just copy it to there and update it once in awhile, but the automatic updating with aliases is perfect.
I downloaded dropbox onto my macbook air and want to know how i can remove it?

I'm testing Dropbox and looking at sugarsync.
Dropbox seems more robust on Mac system, while sugarsync is actually in beta testing on this side, but sugarsync has more attractive price options ...
Anyone has for example tried to syncronize a large virtual disk (VMware for example) or large Aperture library ?
Does anyone have any thoughts on Dropbox vs iDisk? Pros and cons of each?

How do I disable my drop box on public wifi connections? How do I make a drop box alias that doesn't have my last name on it? This seems very insecure and an invasion of privacy to me.
I recently found an article on how to sync safari bookmarks using Dropbox. Article can be found here: [url]I'm using a latest 27" iMac, running Lion as my main work machine, along with a MacBook Pro 15" running Leopard.I've followed instructions in the article and got my MBP to sync with my iMac.The problem occurs when I add a new bookmark on my iMac, it seems to create a new .plist in the safari library folder as opposed to updating the one in my Dropbox. Thus not syncing. I haven't tried the other way i.e adding a new bookmark on my MBP.
