OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Applications Are Launched By Default At The Startup
Apr 13, 2012I 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

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Stop Applications From Opening At Startup In It?
Jun 1, 2012When 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

Windows On Mac :: Boot Camp 3.0 Control Panel Missing "Startup Disk" Tab?
Sep 20, 2009If I log into Windows as a normal user (not administrator) and open the Boot Camp Control Panel, I'll be missing the Startup Disk pane. The only ones available are Brightness, Keyboard and Trackpad.
Is there any way to get the startup disk tab to appear while logged in as a normal user? I don't like the idea of having to run as an administrator all the time in Windows.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Control The Trackpad

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can't See All Windows In Mission Control
Mar 4, 2012My favorite feature on the mac has always been the ability to see all open windows with a simple click (F3 on my keyboard). I often have multiple word documents and multiple pdf files open, as well as two or three different browser windows, several image files, and who knows what else. It is very common for me to have 10-20 open windows and it was always a huge help to be able to see them all at once, with filenames that would pop up when hovering with the mouse. This feature made it incredibly easy to move from file to file and truly see everything on the desktop at once.Â
As far as I can tell, this is no longer possible with Lion and Mission Control. Now if I have multiple windows open in a single application and enter Mission Control I see them tiled over one another, without filenames displayed for any. Sure, I can see all the applications I have open, but what good is that if I can't see which files I have? It's making it very difficult to work effectively-- basically I have to minimize each window one by one until I find the one I want.Â
Can anyone using Lion tell me how to see a graphic representation of ALL open windows, with filenames? Like I could in the good old days? Or is there something like a "see all open files" ability in Finder?Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Volume Control Not Working
Apr 10, 2012Using Lion, latest and fully updated. At some point in the past week or so the volume control stopped having an effect. Using either the keyboard function keys or the item in the task bar, the graphics look good and the blocks/slider move around just fine, but there is no effect whatsoever on sound output. I can control the volume in whatever app I'm using, whether it's a Web app or local app with its own volume control. But the system volume controls no longer have an effect. This is true whether or not I'm using the display output or headphones.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Access Control In Keychain?
May 8, 2012Having lost track of how I manage access to stored passwords, I'd like to reset every password stored in my Login Keychain, so that it will always 'Confirm before allowing access" and "Ask for Keychain Password."Â
Is there anyway to do this in a batch, or must I view/edit each item, one by one.Â

Applications :: SMC Fan Control 2.1.3.1
Nov 11, 2008I got a notice of an update for SMCFanControl to version 2.1.3.1. I installed it, and when it ran my fans went faster and louder than ever before! Normally surfing the web they were around 2000rpm. After the update SMC reported 7300rpm! I didn't even think they could go that fast.

Mar 18, 2012I am having fun with my iMac (late 2011 + 10.7.3) aspecially with software bugs.One of them is following:Volume controll keys on my wireless keyboard do not controll sound. Doesn,t matter which one I press I do see the icons on the display but there is no effect on volume level. The sound "speaker icon" on the system bar is inactive and when I press it I see that slider is frozen at the very bottom and can't be moved.Switch your iMac off.Remove batteries from the wireless keyboard.Switch your Mac on.Sound is back, and after placing batteries back in your keyboard you can see also that sound keys are working again. Unfortunatelly you have to make this operation each time when you switching your iMac off.

Apr 17, 2012since a few weeks, we regularly experience that the sound volume control does not show up in the screen title bar, and we cannot play music in iTunes or in youtube. I don't know if this is since i attached a usb Time machine backup disk or since when i upgraded from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 The only way out is rebooting and then this works again, The sound volume control is back and i can listen music.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Expose Versus Mission Control?
Apr 28, 2012There's one thing I'm really missing from Snow Leopard in recent months which has been replaced by what I regard as Lion's inferior 'Mission Control'. How many times would you sit down, open up 20 or so Photoshop files and toggle between the F9 and F10 keys to present all 20 pictures instantly on the desktop using Expose. Mission Control doesn't perform nearly as well doing the same task.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mission Control : Why Can't Switch To Desktops 2, 3 And 4
Jun 25, 2012So I was following some tutorials online about assigning desktops to shortcut keys, and I created 10 total desktops just so I can assign/play around with the keys. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't assign a shortcut to desktops 2, 3 and 4. I tried different key combinations and it does not work. I know that control + 5 works for desktop 5, so assigned that key command (temporarily, and I made sure that desktop 5 shortcut was different by changing it to shift+command+5) to desktops 2 3 & 4 and it still doesn't switch. Something is preventing these desktops from linking to a shortcut. Not even control+left arrow/right arrow works.Â
I also tried removing and re-adding the desktops with no success.Â

Applications :: SMC Fan Control Not Working?
Nov 3, 2008I have a MacBook pro (pre-2008 update), and recently had to reinstall smc fan control after trying out another fan control app i thought might be better. After finding out that smc was the way to go, i reinstalled it. After reinstalling smc, it was never working properly like it was before i uninstalled it. When I make a favorite and then set that favorite on the menubar, the fans kick up to the speed i set it to for about 3 seconds then they return to the normal 2000 rpms. nothing I do can fix this. i have tried reinstalling, reinstalling different versions etc.

Applications :: Is Smc Fan Control Safe To Use?
May 17, 2009I find that, more often than not, my MBP (late 08) gets incredibly hot and overheated). So I heard about this program smcFanControl and have been using it since, and it really does a good job keeping my computer cool.I have the left/right fans running at 6000 RPM (the max), is is SAFE for my fans to be running that fast? Will it significantly lower the longevity of the fans/computer at all?

Mar 24, 2012I recently upgraded my iMac from Leopard to Lion.Â
At times, and this has been happening quite frequently, my screen automatically jumps to Mission Control mode. Sometimes, it comes back to Desktop mode by itself but at other times I have to click on the window to get back to Desktop mode. Its almost like the OS is playing games with me.Â
Just to clarify, I am not invoking the Mission Control program by either using the keyboard, mouse or from the Dock. The OS automatically switches to Mission Control mode.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mission Control 10.7.3 Assigning Apps To Desktops?
Apr 8, 2012How do I get an app to stick in a desktop. I have the mission control desktop and then desktops 1 through 7. I have them all opening up various applicaitons, but even though I move the app to the desktop I want, and I shut down with the app open in that desktop, on restart it opens up in the wrong desktop...always the same one, but always the wrong one. iTunes - I put it in Desktop 7, its there when I shut down. It always opens up in Desktop 1. I don't have trouble with calendar, mail, addressbook. Also, sometimes 'finder' folders that I have left open in a specific window when I shut down do not open up on restart. They do sometimes, but most of the time not.Â

When I open it, use Misson Control it will display like this: Could not add space and no dashboard on the top of the screen. I really don't know the reason why. But if I sign off my account, the mission control will be normal again. And when Mission Control has this problem. The launchpad isn't also normal. Launchpad's background will be transparent. But this problem will come again after some times of restart. It randomly appears.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mission Control Automatic Desktop Switching?
Apr 29, 2012I'm currently studying for the GRE, and here's my current setup.Â
Desktop #1: general computing
Desktop #2: vocabulary
Desktop #3: verbal
Desktop #4: math Â
AnnoyancesÂ
1) I'll have a Chrome window open on #2 at a website to help me study vocabulary. However, when I'm at #1 and I click the Chrome icon in the dock to open a new browser to check email, it automatically takes me to desktop #2. While I can just check my email at #2, I want to keep that desktop exclusively for studying vocabulary. Is there any way to make MC treat each desktop as a separate desktop and NOT jump between desktops?Â
2) This seems to be a MS Office specific annoyance. I'll have a excel document open on #1 and #2. When I close the excel document on #1, MC automatically takes me to the document in #2, when I just wanted to close the #1 document and stay in #1. Â
3) A different scenario of the previous annoyance. There's an excel document open in #2 and I'm currently in #1. When I open an excel document MC...
- takes me to the ALREADY opened document in #2
- opens the document I wanted, but places it in #1
so that I'm in the wrong space AND not even looking at the document I just opened.
