How to prevent the Text Edit launch when I start my Mac? I am on OS 10.11.6

Text Edit starts automatically when I turn on my Mac Book Pro. It brings up a plist file. I'm on OS 10.11.6. Does anyone have a suggestion?

This is part of all things "Let's turn Mac OS in an iPad ' Apple tried to do from Lion, 10.7.x. In other words, applications start where you finally left on each start or restart. Many users hated. Apple then placed functions in Mountain Lion and before killing this behavior.

(1) of the Apple at the top left of the screen, choose restart or shut down. Any one. Clear the check box, and then click Cancel.

The OS will definitely remember this choice.

(2) open system preferences. On the general tab, enable the checkboxes to request to keep the changes when closing documentsand Close windows when you exit an application.

This should stop not only TextEdit, but any application to open on starts or restarts. Unless you have them in your login items to your user account. Then they'll start in any case each time. Preferences system again. Click users and groups. Click your left user account name, and then click the login items tab on the right. If there are applications in the list that you don't want to run each time your Mac starts or restarts, highlight each one and click on the button "-" to remove it.

    In simple terms... How to change the programs that load when Windows starts?  Because my boot time is slow in arriving at my login screen!

    Download and run the "Autoruns" from Microsoft Sysinternals freeware:

    It lists all programs that start at startup and allows you to disable it by simply removing a check mark.  This makes it easy to reverse in case something goes wrong.

  • How to prevent the text to be cropped when drawing

    Hello

    I draw a long text in an area of limited width (say half the width of the screen)... when I draw using the graphics.drawText () method, it gets cropped. It draws a lot more text only pertaining to this width. I want my text to draw in its entirety. text is expected to come online in the next (the width is always the same) and so on... How can I implement it?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Hi all

    Thank you very much Simon.

    I found a source code very good for this... I'm posting this code for other users help...

    public static Vector wrapText (String text, int width)
        {
            Vector result = new Vector ();
            String remaining = text;
            while (remaining.length()>=0)
            {
                int index = getSplitIndex(remaining, width);
                if (index == -1)
                    break;
                result.addElement(remaining.substring(0,index));
                remaining = remaining.substring(index);
                if (index == 0)
                    break;
            }
            return result;
        }
    
        public static int getSplitIndex(String bigString, int width)
        {
            int index = -1;
            int lastSpace = -1;
            String smallString="";
            boolean spaceEncountered = false;
            boolean maxWidthFound = false;
            for (int i=0; iwidth)
                {
                    if (spaceEncountered)
                        index = lastSpace+1;
                    else
                        index = i;
                    maxWidthFound = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (!maxWidthFound)
                index = bigString.length();
            return index;
        }
    

    You can replace the try/catch block with the commented line (obviously after getting it without comment)... I did it because I added this code in my project in a separate service file. If you write in your screen itself you can use this line instead of the try/catch block commented code...

    Copy the following code returns a vector composed of substrings based on the width of the area that you will provide. You can then draw these channels...

  • How can I prevent the bridge auto-launch when I plug in my camera?

    I am a professional photographer.  I shoot captive in Capture One.  I don't want bridge to start when I plug in my camera.  Although I have not marked "when a camera is connected, launch Adobe Photo Downloader" in the behavior of Bridge preferences Section he launched even when I plug in my camera.  How can I stop?

    I just thought of it myself.  It turns out that this isn't a matter of bridge, it is a question of OSX. To solve the problem connect the camera to the computer.  Using Spotlight search and open 'Image Capture'.  You can then set Capture One to open when the camera is connected.  Simple.

  • How to prevent the drop-down menu when you click in the URL field?

    Hello

    For some time there is Safari displays a short title in the URL field when you view a web page (for example, at the moment it says "Apple Inc").  Quite often I want to drage the actual URL in a note or on the desktop for later use.  Whenever I click in the URL field to do this, Safari down a bunch of icons corresponding to the bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, which is useless as my favorite bar is always visible.

    What I would do is to disable this action so that when I click on all I get is the URL so I can drag it somewhere.  Quite often when I drag the URL and domain of Favorites icons is visible, Safari think I want to lodge in this area and therefore mixes the existing icons around according to what path taking when you drag.  It's really very annoying behavior and there must be a way to disable.

    Thank you!

  • How to prevent the popup dialog closes when you click the commandbutton

    Hello

    The application has a popup with the dialog box Cancel to display a table. Users could select the lines using a checkbox and click a CommandButton to backend processing.

    It displays a message (using addMessage) when he chose nothing.

    I would like to have the popup rest so the user could correct their action, but ADF automatically close the popup.

    Is there a way to avoid this?

    If I put the property AutoCancel to false, the popup rest (or rather re-posted), but the message window is hidden, which is defeat it purposes.

    I saw a discussion archived since 2008, but it doesn't have an answer, that's why I opened this thread.

    Kind regards.
