OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Applications Are Launched By Default At The Startup
Apr 13, 2012
I have a problem with a new installation of Lion. When I shutdown my computer, all the applications are launched by default. I have unchecked the option "Reopen windows when logging back in". When I go to my login items in the preferences system, any application is present and when I click right and go to the options tab, the option "Open at login" is unchecked. The applications who are launched are Mail, NetNewsWire, Chrome and iTunes.Â

I launch my apps via quicksilver (which is a god) and then from there will hit ⌘+(1-9) to head to any of my menu bar links... or at least that was my usual gig. The recent hick-up is when safari is launch (whether or not it is from q.s. or the dock) a new window opens up, but then deselects it's self, as if a different window was openend and selected... but no, there's nothing else. Therefor I can't command anything with out physically selecting the window with my mouse. Rather annoying. That or, ⌘+Tab to a different program then back to safari.

I can't get Lion to boot. Here's what I've done/tried. Where applicable I have repeated these steps just to be sure my results were consistent: 1) When I boot, I can't get past the grey screen with the apple icon and the spinning spokes. 2) After reading reviews on CNET, I installed Avanti!3) Avanti would not finish scanning and would not operate on the sketchy files it found (most just highly compressed files).4) In Finder I used Quit, then Force Quit on Avanti, only to have it start again as soon as it closed. Meanwhile it kept opening & then crashing 2 other apps: extEdit and Mail (neither of which I was using).5) I tried to shut down, but Avanti stopped the process.6) I tried trashing Avanti, but it I just got the 'moving to trash' swirly status bars running indefinitely.7) I tried deleting sub files of Avanti hoping it would cripple it sufficiently that it would not return when stopped.8) I did a hard reboot and opened to the same problem.9) I loaded MacKeeper, but that too crashed almost immediately each time.10) I tried opening System Preferences, but it too crashed immediately each time. Here's where I screwed up:11) I examined Avanti and thought I'd stop the parent process and reboot.12) I stopped the user version of launchd (Quit, not delete)13) My screen instantly went grey - no other features.14) I did a cold reboot, and got no further than the grey screen described in #115) I tried a safe boot. Same result.16) I tried emptying the PRAM. Same result. So, I'm totally stuck. I've been all over the internet looking for the answers, but it all seems to be about what launchd does, not what to do when it doesn't (at least I assume that's what's happeniing.) This being a MAC, I don't have a boot disk for repairs. In addition, none of the built-in repairs/work-arounds work because, of course, I can't get in. So, if you think the only thing to do is reload the OS, do I have to grab all my data first? I do have access through my laptop via sharing.

I know this is a long shot but does anyone know of a script (or fancy trying to write one!) that will change a desktop pattern when you launch a particular app.
Basically I'd like to have a couple of desktop patterns with all the shortcut keys for particular apps but don't want them up all the time, only when I'm using that app.
Ideally, quitting the app would return to the normal desktop pattern.

Still a new mac user and have been playing around getting to know os x. The other day I was modifying my dock settings and have got it to a place which I'm happy with, apart from one problem. I was experimenting with different trash icons but decided to stick with the original so changed them back. Now, every time I shutdown and reboot, the trash icon is showing up as one of the trash icons I was experimenting, regardless of whether or not there is anything in the trash. If the trash has something in it, the wrong icon will be displayed before automatically switching to the correct one. However, if the trash is empty on startup, I have to put something in it, then empty the trash before the correct icon shows up. I have checked that I have deleted all the icons I was experimenting with but it seems like it the unwanted icon has been saved somewhere in memory and is the default trash icon on startup? Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix the problem?

I am trying to find a way to have my computer automatically boot into the Startup Manager by default. Right know I know you can set it to boot into Verbose, Debug, Single User and Safe mode with the nvram. But is there an option to set it to the Startup Manager.

how I can disable one of my video cards in my MacBook pro. The better of the two recently crapped out, or at least if am able to get it to turn on and can login to switch to the other video card it works fine.
Basically the screen glitches up and freezes the computer. I think it could have potentially taken damage from possible prolonged over heating from high temperature spaces, and a lot of dirty air over time blocking the vents. (after multiple cleanings)

When I log in using Lion, Mail, Entourage, and ICal open on my desktop.I already tried unchecking the restore windows box under system preferences/general; sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. The only way to stop it seems to be to uncheck the similar box that appears when you shut down the computer, but you have to do it each time, and I think it doesn't always work either. The options features in the dock items don't seem to work--they're already unchecked, and the windows still open. I don't want everyone else in my family to see my mail as soon as the computer opens and it's really annoying besides.Â

I have a question about Safari plugins. I was running under Tiger and got the SplashID desktop program with Safari plugin. I decided to upgrade my OS to Leopard so I can use a newly purchased Magic Mouse. Launched Safari and the SplashID plugin would not load. I replaced Safari, its preferences and other files and the plugin will not load. It worked fine in Tiger. I happened to have another internal drive loaded with Leopard from a while back and it's fully updated. I booted from it and installed SplashID and the plugin. Works perfectly! So, why will the Safari plugin not load on my primary drive that was upgraded from Tiger to Leopard versus the same Leopard on my other drive that was a clean install?

Basically there is some problem with the app store (and also itunes), where they are not loading to the correct page when launched from the web. This only happens if the app store had been previously opened to another page. If the app store is killed and then launched cold, it will load to the correct page.To test the phone simply go here on an iphone 4S: [url].. - click the button on the bottom of the page that says "Download app". The first time it should take you to the directv app page. But now, while you are on the app store navigate to any other page, then go back to Safari and click the button again. The App Store will stay on the page.

I just installed Creative Suite 5.5 and when I launch InDesign 5.5 it crashes. Photoshop and Illustrator will launch. I opened InDesign in a different user account and it opened but it won't open in my original account. I have deleted pref and disabled fonts. I have upgraded Suitcase Fusion 3 to the latest version.

Just a strange problem here - when I launch an Application from my Dock (not from the Applications folder) my screen shows up the desktop and then the app. For example I am running Safari now but if I were to open Address Book from the dock, the desktop shows and then the Address Book opens.

I have an iBook G4 with an OS X 10.3.9 operating system. Earlier today my screen went blank and appeared to have turned off on its own, even though it still had more than half of its battery charge. I pressed the power button, then had to press it again to restart it. When I tried to access my Word documents, I got this message:
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonCore>"
I have explored all of the online advice, I have checked the Console (the error code is -2804), I have run Disk Utility for the disk permissions, I have re-installed my operating system. I still cannot open anything in Microsoft Office (2004), nor can I open AppleWorks. I am on the verge of a mental breakdown because I have 3 major papers due this week. If I can't have access to Word on my computer I won't be able to finish them on time.

I launched the Boot Camp Assistant 2.0 on my iMac OS X v10.5. I was hoping to install Windows XP Professional with Built-in Service Pack 3. However, when I tried to partition the disk (32 GB on Windows), a message came up, saying "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." It states some directions underneath, but, as I am new to Boot Camp and Mac, I don't know what to do and how to do. Please help!

usually I'm using Internet with WLAN-connection. Sometimes I want to connect my mac additionally with the LAN on work. As soon as I plug in the ethernet, there is a new item in the routing table, so I have two default-gateways - one to the WLAN-router and one to the standard-gateway of my work's LAN. Â
So for example I cannot take new mails from my private pop-account and for using internet I have to register a proxy-server. That's circuitous!Â
My idea is to create a plist-file in launchDaemons-directory, that deletes the default-gateway-item to my work's standard-gateway and adds a net-route to this only for my work's network.Â

I noticed my VPN connections overrides the default route set by my WiFi connection. With an active VPN I can browse my office network but not the WWW. When I type in terminal …Â
sudo route delete default
sudo route add -net default 192.168.2.1
sudo route add -net 192.168.178.0 192.168.178.201Â
… I can access (via VPN) my office network and can still browse in the WWW. Is there any way I can prevent to override the default route when establishing a VPN connection (IPSec Cisco via Network > Add VPN)?Maybe I can create an AppleScript or something like that?Â
192.168.2.1 = local network (home)
192.168.178.1 = remote network (office)
192.168.178.201 = remote virtual client IP
