  I have some programs that load at startup to the top.  There are a couple of them that I would like to delete.  In particular, I would like to get rid of MS Messenger that doesn't even exist anymore.  How do I know what charges at first upward and how to remove the things that I do not want to load.  Some are programs that I use, but I don't need to load every time I turn on my computer.

• Satellite P200-where is the switch that makes display to turn off?

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P200, there is a problem with the display, it works and it doesn't work.

  I did some checking, the backlight is turned on, and it works well with a second monitor.

  The question I really want to ask, where is the switch or contact on the lid or the body of the laptop that stops at the screen when I close the lid?

  I have the laptop stripped down and I see there, not anywhere, where there is some sort of mechanical or magnetic contact between the cover and Palm rest.

  I thought he got me something where the lid locks close but can't see anything there.

  I know that there must be something that puts the laptop into hibernation when I close the lid, but the sensor or another location.

  see you soon

  Spike

  I think that the sensor is part of the motherboard, but can't tell exactly where he might be.
  But as far as I know that the JP9 (40pin) is used to connect the screen.

  However, in my opinion this is not a sensor delivers
  If something is wrong with the screen, you may need to replace either, FL inverter, LCD screen or check the connection between the screen and motherboard

• Name of the computer that makes @ startup

  Why my computer window name/description pop up on startup for all users?  He will just accept the name of the current computer and or the description or change it.  He does whenever you log in.  Just started recently... days.

  Is there a setting I can change to avoid this problem?

  Hello charrohl,

  Check and see if the system is configured to start under startup programs. Check if the system properties box is displayed at startup.
  The file is called, SYSDM.cpl.

  1. Go to start button, Control Panel, Security Center, in the left pane, open Windows Defender.

  2. Click Tools, and then click Software Explorer.

  3. In the category box, click startup programs.

  4. Select the program you want to run and then click on disable.

  5. Click Yes to confirm that you want to stop this program from running.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each program you want to stop to run.

  If you go in Mode safe mode and logon as a user, always make the properties page of the system at startup?
  1. reboot your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you see the boot menu.
  2. when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
  3 log on to Windows by using the administrator account or any account of a user with administrator privileges.

  NOTE: In Safe Mode, your display system and the Bureau will look and perform differently than in Normal Mode. This is only temporary. To return the system to Normal mode, we can simply restart the computer.

  Another suggestion would be to see if you have a System Restore point before the problem started to occur.
  Go to the following Knowledge Base article and follow the steps to see if you can get to an earlier point in time.

  (2) in addition, when I tested my camera on Windows 7 (for the 1st time) I have observed that the system has not provided by h/w (as in XP) configuration manager, instead it popup a warning ("There is a threat to your device by 3rd party" - not exact). I have to go to Device Manager and update driver manually... Instead, I would like to than END USER to have the Manager h/w config (of the operating system) of the pop up/initiated the trial...

  Thanks in advance...

• Change the country that makes you lose all your apps

  I just moved from the Italy towards the France, I opened a bank account and intended to close my bank account in Italy.

  What I discovered is when you change the region in the Apple Store (which you have to do, since the credit card must belong to a bank in the region) do you lose all your purchases made ahead. When I changed the region in the AppStore all my purchases are gone, none have been identified. Luckily when I went back to the former zone of all purchases were still there.

  I thought Apple's Support that if you keep the applications on your computer, they will continue to operate. Unfortunately, I don't think it's quite true. What about updates? If the application is not among your purchases I doubt it will be updated. What happens if I do a clean install? Not all applications can be simply copied into the Applications folder, the system often said that the application is corrupted and I need to download it again from the app store, what will happen?

  I spent a lot of money on the Pro apps, now I am forced to open a bank account in Italy just to keep a credit card for the App Store, I just cannot afford to change region and risk having to buy new applications.

  Is it possible to keep your purchases when you change the region? I understand that different regions have different tax rules, but if I bought an application in one country, this is mine, I will not have to pay for it yet once just because I live elsewhere, it makes no sense.

  I know not many people change of country of residence, then this might not be a priority, but please try to find a solution.

  Hello and welcome to Apple Support communities,

  Just to let you know that purchases made in-store a coutry are NOT carried over, as far as I know just make sure that you are logged into the store of the country when he made purchases, purchases made in store in this country should stay there.

  For example:

  If I purchase in the Australian store and moving to the United States, I have to keep my store in the Austrlian store to keep my purchases; If I change my store in the United States one my purchases will disappear.

  If you have or can borrow one, plug in a USB keyboard and see if it works ok. If so, then it is likely that the Board of Directors of your laptop is damaged and must be replaced.

• MagSafe adapter does not work after all the stuff that followed and merge card Ok?

  My Megasafe duck-head adapter used with a Macbook pro has stopped working while my back was turned!

  After trying all the controls and the actions described in the Apple support pages, it always dows not turn on or show any current to the small pins when checked with a multimeter.

  It is the death of the adapter or can it receive some kind of CPR?

  Chris.

  Hello!

  Could specify you which checks and actions you have done already?

  Your MacBook came with both a cable to connect to the power supply and plug adapter. Could you try both to see if it works? You might just have a broken charger.

  Please find instructions for that here: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  If the battery is good behaviour

  1. Stop the Mac.
  2. Plug the MagSafe or USB - C adapter to a power source and to your Mac.
  3. Use the built-in keyboard, press shift-control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time.
  4. All the keys to unlock, then press the power button to turn on your Mac

  If the battery is removable

  1. Stop the Mac.
  2. Unplug the MagSafe from Mac power adapter.
  3. Remove the battery. (Learn about removing the battery in the MacBook and MacBook Pro computers).
  4. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
  5. Reconnect the battery and the MagSafe power adapter.
  6. Press the power button to turn on the Mac.

• How can I disable the configuration that makes me type in name of user and password each time I send or reply to an email?

  Every time I have send an email, any email or answer to one, I have a symbol (maybe from the OS X keychain?) which is forces me to put in name of username/password before my email send. A lot of time and unnecessary.

  I just set up a verification of the signature in Adobe and think that it is the source, but it could be a bunch of OS X that has somehow been touched by the signatures of my safety. Can anyone help?

  Hi janteve,

  If you have the option to remember the password please check it after you have entered the user name & password.

  Otherwise, I will recommend you to contact Mac support team to get this problem resolved as they specialize on the devices out there.

  Kind regards
