Now that the iMac automauically starts up with the programs in use when closing, I find that this is delaying my start.
There must be a shortcut to close all the open programs before closing the machine.
Kindly advise.
iMac, iOS 5.0.1
When you finish with a program, instead of clicking the red button to close, go the the top menu bar, click the name of the program, then Quit. That will terminate the program and it will not open on restart.
If by 'closing' the machine you mean shutting it down, there is a checkbox in the Shutdown confirmation window which is preset to re-start all apps at startup which were open when the machine was shut down. Uncheck that item in the Shutdown confirmation window.
Unfortunately you'll need to do that each time you shut the machine down.
Before closing down the machine, how can I close all the open programs?
